The Thieves Guild Lacks Real Thieves

After a discussion with a friend about the politics of Skyrim, I decided to load up the game and give it a go. Well, I didn’t just load up Skyrim, I opened up Mod Organizer, used it to load SKSE, which then loaded Skyrim. It took a couple of attempts, but after I disabled a bunch of mods, I got Skyrim working and realized I’d installed a mod that had simplified every texture. I also discovered that I only had one save and it was pretty new, left at Diplomatic Immunity. I decided I was just going to roll with… [Continue Reading]

Why I’m Not Playing Skyrim Again

Skyrim is an odd game. It is both full of content but also eerily empty. While I have played a lot of Skyrim in the past (and even did a whole walk-through playing as the TF2 Medic), I’m wondering if it’s time to give Skyrim another try. But there’s a lot stopping me from doing so. I ought to move to Special Edition. Currently, I only have the Legendary Edition of Skyrim installed. This is the old, 32bit version of Skyrim. I’ve played a bit of Special Edition before and while being a tad more stable, is a little bit… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts About Stormcloaks

I’ve been considering playing Skyrim again, but frankly, I don’t know if I really want to go back into modding Skyrim to make it how I like it. I don’t have any vanilla saves for any of my characters, so it’s not like I can just replay them. And at the same time, I kinda choose in advance what I want my character to do. Blades or Paarthunax? Vampires or Dawnguard? Werewolves or not joining the Companions? And the biggest one, Imperial or Stormcloak? Normally, I go 50-50 when it comes to the civil war. If I do decide to… [Continue Reading]

My 5 Favorite Bows in Gaming

Since Medic recently covered her 5 favorite bows in Warframe, I was inspired to do something similar, but for gaming as a whole. I’ve often found myself gravitating to bows when available, in part due to their uniqueness in a modern setting. They often play wholly differently to regular firearms, with arcs and draw times and often extra ammo types. The general trend is “rewarding if you learn how to use it,” and I love standing out through mastering the intricacies of an unusual weapon or gadget. One last note before we begin that crossbows are also eligible for this… [Continue Reading]

A Long List of Little Things I Want In: Elder Scrolls 6

It’s been ages since I last played Skyrim. But the fact that Skyrim is being revamped into a new addition yet again is weird. How many different versions of Skyrim do we need? Clearly more of them. In the mean time though, when it comes to the next Elder Scrolls game, we’re still pretty clueless. We know the game will be set in Hammerfell, but that’s pretty much it. In the mean time though, there are lots of things I would like to see in the Elder Scrolls VI. Here is a small sample of them. Better Followers. Followers in… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Skyrim Dragon Textures

This article was originally going to be one of those articles. You know, the articles we have about nude mods. In fact, we have quite a few articles about Skyrim’s nude mods, but none actually recommending actual nude mods. There is plenty of choice when it comes to Skyrim nudity, but I’m not actually that well versed in it. I just got the most common female body mod, installed one of its many versions and called it a day. And I couldn’t even remember what it was called. I had to open up Mod Organizer to check it out. Once… [Continue Reading]

The Scales of Skyrim Modding

Skyrim is known for its massive modding community. There are so many mods and tools for Skyrim that it is SO easy to get lost. From simple mods that just change a handful of textures, to complete overhauls, we have almost too much choice. And with all the community-made Skyrim we have, we can combine and modify our mods to suit any taste. But of course, this requires a lot of work. And not everyone has the know-how or the desire to mod their game into oblivion. Or mod their game INTO Oblivion. However, not everyone even wants to mod… [Continue Reading]

There’s loads and loads and loads of nude mods for Skyrim. From the super popular CBBE all the way to obscure retextures of obscure retextures, there’s a nude mod for everyone.

7 Mods To Improve Your Nude Skyrim Experience

Normally aabicus is the expert when it comes to nude mods and what works best, but frankly I think nude mods work very well in Skyrim. It’s the sort of fantasy genre where you can just about imagine people running around naked. At least, some of them. But while installing a nude mod in Skyrim, there are caveats and things that can be improved. And how do we improve mods? With more mods, of course! In today’s article, we’ll have a look at some mods that make the nude experience so much more enjoyable, while also giving you a little… [Continue Reading]

Book Review: The Elder Scrolls Official Cookbook

For Christmas, I got a very strange selection of gifts that I absolutely adored. The most peculiar gift I got though was from my brother, which, as the title of this article suggests, was a cookbook, based on the Elder Scrolls universe. Written by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel, this book is part of a collection of cookbooks spanning a range of popular, fantasy themes like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft. Brother, having seen how much time I’ve spent playing Skyrim, wisely picked this book out for me. And it’s a really, really nicely laid out book, with an obviously fantasy… [Continue Reading]
