So I went ahead and added some more stuff to my Skyrim

That texture combiner that was mentioned earlier
Wearable Lanterns

And the texture combiner included some parallax mapping stuff, which requires enb to enable.  So I found an enb that plays well with RCRN.  It looks really nice, and my framerate stays between 25-30 fps.

I also updated my codecs and fraps records great now.  I'll upload something this weekend.

Alright guys, i'm falling out of this modding boat you guys are sailing on, but i have not completed skyrim yet, and i would like to. I would like to start over too. Any tips on character creation and skill focus?

The game is fairly easy no matter what path you choose. Just don't get to level 15 through nothing but blacksmithing and enchanting and you'll be fine.

And being a giant tank means nothing to wizards. Magic doesn't care about your armor.

On my current game i was wearing light elven armor.

For a few seconds, "hide behind a corner and lob a grenade in" seemed like a valid tactic against wizards in my head.
I'll keep this in mind.

Sneaking Archer is fairly OP if you're looking for a win.  Add in Conjuration for Bound Bow and some Illusion for Muffle, along with the usual Enchanting for increasing your power and your sneakability.  Pickpocket and Alchemy mesh well too, since you can do poisons and put them on your bow, or place them on an enemy for them to consume.

Destruction magic isn't bad once you get Stagger and a lot of MP.  It's easy to stagger-lock an enemy by repeatedly dual-casting.

staggering dragons is rediculous, esp since vanilli potions are instant w/as many at atime as you please.  Thankfully I got both them fixed.

I don't think you can stagger dragons.  They're unique in that they don't stagger or ragdoll, I believe.

I seem to recall vanilla dragons do stagger from dual cast destruction magic...

I know that they stagger if you hit them with a FUS RO DAH, and they definitely ragdoll after they're dead. I think they use the same code as Mammoths, who do the same thing.

Most of the things that do stagger have non-dragon conditional on them.

 I found 2 handed fighter to be stupidly powerful if you are looking for a good build, I could 2 hit dragons by the time I got sick of it.
