Finally got the DLC thanks to a friend. On my way to visit the Dawnguard now. RPing myself as a 'Grey Paladin' of sorts with a character build to boot; heavy armor (hoods/masks only for head, no helmets), block, one-handed weapons (maces only), conjuration, restoration, and enchanting.

No qualms killing living things if attacked first, kills undead with a prejudice, pray at every shrine I come across, turn undead, reanimation, and atronarchs are used only when deemed necessary or most efficient, bound weapons only used when there is a big need to fill a soul gem, healing is used whenever the chance or need arises.

It's quite fun, and a huge change from my Thief turned Assassin build my last playthrough.

You mean stealth archery?

There's a lot of categories and a lot of overlap. I'd recommend taking a look at duel & ace.

I can't look at anything, I'm frozen in a two-year-old vanilla version because they replaced all the good bugs with but thou musts, empty rooms, and blank walls, and I live in constant fear of steam making all my saves invalid.  Does sound fairly interesting, though.

Now go try it with a level zero Khajiit, and tell me how it goes.  ;-)

What I would like is a mod with zero health regen, zero magica regen, customizable spells, custom enchantments including cast-upon-use ones, non-armor clothing, realistic sized weaponry, fewer and lower-power, but smarter enemies, no slapping colour filters to pretend you have a different dungeon, questlines that have more than three quests in them, more flavor NPCs, as well as NPCs that are actually useful, (spellmaking, enchanting, etc.), conversational options that encourage people to get involved in the lore, and allow people to play their own character, rather than the one Bethesda wants us to play, quests that can be completed before being taken, no zone restrictions on player movement, cities in external cells, quests that require you to use gameplay elements, character build decisions that matter, (no zero-drawback superpowers), a setting not advanced 200 years for no well-defined reason, utility spells such as mark, recall, and levitation, no damn collectables or achievements, and for the love of god, one where there are no dragons in Tamriel, rather than the 'dragonz' we have here, which are interesting until you're about halfway through the introduction.

And.. such a game would be a horrible thing to make, so I don't really want to see it, as nobody would play it.

Why hasn't Warzones been removed from the Nexus yet? It's a buggier piece of shit than Skyrim and completely unsupported.

You won't find A mod with those.

You WILL find modS with the different pieces. That is, if you update your game?

In particular, I'd bet my left nut the underlined parts can be found.

Most of the rest I haven't looked for or don't know what ya mean.

...is it sad that this is a yes? Seriously though, it's one of the most OP things in vanilla Skyrim. Period.

At least until I had Mehrune's Razor and the Blade of Woe, anyway. 15x sneak attack damage with the two best daggers in the game is just beautiful. :P

Huh.  I suppose it's better than my philosophy of keeping everything perfectly up to date and constantly swapping out my mod loadout as I chase after the newest and shiniest thing, strictly speaking.  I've never beaten the main storyline, never played through most of the major quest chains, never even started the civil war storyline, and only once gotten a character over level 20 before changing one mod or another forced me to delete all of my save files due to core incompatibilities.

Of course, all these mod lists inspired me to change out my mod loadout again, which caused me to restart yet again.  Coincidence of coincidences, glancing over Skyrim Redone's Wayfarer perk tree made me pick a stealth archer outdoors ranger for the latest whim. *shrug*
