That's just the problem with overly-friendly games. It's throwing away a bunch of potential plot hooks. Even if potential marryable NPCs don't have personal quests, wouldn't it be interesting if your gay character walks into town and sees a band of redneck elves protesting against gay marriage? And then you incinerate them in a demonstrative fireball quite merrily.

The fact that this still uses vanilla lighting confused me for a second, because SkyRe's is so much more... dark in the dungeons.
O.O

My god I'd forgotten how bright it was in vanilla. I've been crawling through ancient dungeons where I could only see the glowing eyes of the undead in the distance. Gosh, that's like daylight bright compared to what I've been playing. I could never go back.

Snow turns pure white if I use SkyRe's lighting. Its rather annoying; I can see the snow texture in the shade, but snow + sunlight = pure white texture. Ugh.

Realistic lighting is realistic. Snow blindness is a thing. :P

But yes, it is annoying.

It does become annoying after a while, but I did find it as an interesting handicap due to it being more difficult to actually see/hit things in the middle of being snow blinded. Also, Bleak Falls Barrow became extremely difficult to shoot my bow and arrow in, let alone see the enemies, due to the lowered lighting during the density of a snow storm.

I would hate SkyRe breaking at this point, but they are releasing Dawn Guard soon...

I can only read over all your lighting comments, wishing that I could manage to get Skyrim to run for more than 5 minutes before closing out.

Sorry to whine.

Have you googled your problem? That usualy fixes game bugs for me.

Yeah, but it seems to be such a common problem that no two people have the same solution and each one I try doesn't work.

I sacrificed Lydia to a daedric lord for having the personality of a two by four

install a few mods and she levels up to "pet rock"!

That is... just... I don't know what to say about that. It's funny though.

Slight bump, but does anybody know of a mod that removes breast cups from female armor? Most of the mods I've been able to find while searching for that go in rather the opposite direction. Shared search terms and all that. Every time I see the aforementioned cups, I can't help but think, "Yes, let's deflect blows toward her heart, that's a great idea. Then, why don't we give her a sword with a blunt blade and a sharpened handle?"

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Literal breast plates: deflecting blows up into the face like a bitch. Miss that about TESIII armor; the gender neutral appearance.
