That's bonemeal, right?

Bonemold, but yeah, that's most certainly it. Also, is that Red Mountain in the second image (the one with the netch)? I thought Red Mountain went and exploded, leaving only a crater?

The DLC is probably about Solstheim or something like that.

Hullo skyrim thread. Christmas is coming up and I was looking at getting a hold of skyrim, according to canyourunit, I meet the minimum requirements, so that's good. I don't mind a slightly choppy framerate, so it'll prolly be fine, but I juuuust wanted to make sure, there are optimization/"tone down the graphics" mods out by now right? So on the off chance it's only technically playable, I could install some mods that'd optimize/make the game generally more friendly to a less capable computer, right?

 It doesn't take a crater to make the island mostly made of that volcano totally inhabitable. Just replace ash storms with molten ash storms and it's just hellmurder island in the distance.

I've seen one mod that reduces all the textures to almost nothing, easing the graphical memory burden to very low.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

That is exactly the sort've thing I'm looking for (not enough video memory or memory memory, everything else is fine) so that sounds like it cinches the deal. Thanks!

I've seen two so far.  One reduces the textures to about half their original size, supposedly with very little loss in visual quality.  Another reduces the textures to basically nothing, and the world looks made up of solid color or naked models.

I always thought they looked something like fat mindflayers...

I twas so fun to steal a sixth house bell hammer, enchant it with ice (my favored element) for 50 damage and go swinging for home runs.  110+ damage per swing.  Id imagine their squidy heads exploding, leaving the once-human (elven) body behind...

Ah yes, forgot to take all those years into account.
It would be possible but I wouldn't count on it.
Would be a nice surprise to see most of the old Morrowind content make a comeback tough.
What I and especially my brother sorely miss from morrowind are spears.
And thrown weapons.


edit: One type of foe will most likely return.. Cliff Racers.
(Unless they became extinct over the 200 years.)

That guy that you met at the very start of Morrowind became a saint for driving them out of Morrowind between Morrowind and Oblivion.

Well hopefully it doesn't come to the second one, and I doubt it will, but it's good to know the option exists. :P
