I’m probably the only person who thinks Skyrim looks good (not the best, but I like it), there’s still times were I stop and just look at the world.
Most people think Skyrim looks good- it's just very unpopular to admit it
I played both Skyrim and Oblivion on vanilla everytime. Although there are some issues, somehow it just works and at times I feel extremely immersed on the game.
The sky has always looked good in it. Morrowind was the first example where I just kind of stared at the sky
I love skyrims version of realistic. Just wish it was a bit less jittery in distance and wish the lighting was a tiny bit more dynamic
You are not the only one. I think Skyrim is one of the most beautiful game I have ever seen. Even after all these years I just have to pause and look at how beautiful the world is.
07:27 honestly could not disagree more, if skyrim was first person only or god forbid TES VI, a lot of people (including myself) would be very upset, a lackluster 3rd person mode is WAY better than having none at all
Edit: this doesn't mean I dislike 1st person, I much prefer it actually, I just want the *option* to switch between the two, outside of combat I like to look at my armor, and my character walk and blend into the environment
I've always enjoyed 3rd person games, Gothic / Risen, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Jedi Knight, GTA, Mount and Blade, Dungeon Siege, AC series ... The only times I'd use 1st person for an Elder Scrolls game is to have a closer look at something in the world. I want to see my character doing things and have a sense of space (what actor is where), especially during combat.
with the amount of customization there is and focus on making a living, breathing character in the world of Skyrim, as limited as it is I'm glad I have a 3rd person mode to at least check out my character. I catch myself doing it a lot actually. There are no working mirrors in Skyrim, so you'd only really see yourself during certain interactive actions, or if were being strict on no 3rd-person then never again after character creation
The only tes games ive played 1 person were arena, daggerfall, and battlespire. Morrowind ive played a mix of both, and oblivion i leaned more towards 1st person. Skyrim i stayed 3rd person the entire time, and had no issues with.
I like playing in first person but I also like being able to look at my character when I want
No worries, look at how much effort they put into improving 3rd person from Oblivion to Skyrim, it was a big priority. Also Witcher 3 sold even more copies than Skyrim, and it is a 3rd person game. The chance of them removing 3rd person mode is zero.
Honestly, with this video, mostly made me realize is that people outside the modding community really don’t understand modding at all
That was also my takeaway.
That’s how it works
@@romeohio19 Yeah. The comments about ENB physically hurt me lmao
Yep. Such a large amount of bad takes… 😂
@@romeohio19 ur annoying lol 😁
The reason for the Map having some extra lines it is because the map it is not a map, is a cámara super far away of the game (of course this camera activates a lower poly version of the meshes). You can prove this if you are absorbing a soul of a dragon and meanwhile you open your map.
Also if you use the clear sky shout and open the map it's easier to see the landscape
I'VE BEEN PLAYING SKYRIM SINCE THE LAUNCH TO FIND THAT OUT ONLY TODAY AFTER LIKE 12 YEARS WTFFFFFF
"full time Elder Scrolls apologizer" really caught me off guard.
lmao
Ya that shit was funny😂
“It’s essentially like a sketchy mailman while tells you he’ll take your homework to the teacher and then changes some answers behind your back” probably the worst analogy I’ve ever heard in my life....dear god, man.
the third person view is almost exclusively how I play Skyrim. First person games have always made me dizzy or given me motion sickness to play or watch, so having the option for a game of this type where I could actually play it was one of the deciding factors on my initial purchase in 2011. Even if it's janky, I'll take it over first person anyday haha
Skyrim’s default field of view for first person makes me nauseous sometimes, it’s so zoomed in, I wish there was a field of view slider in the base game
@@jacksonh7009pretty sure you can change it in the files
@@Optimusprime56241 I’m on Xbox though 😭
@@jacksonh7009 unfortunate
I now exclusively play Skyrim in VR. It feels like a whole new game.
The only tweak I make to Skyrim is to increase the saturation. I just like it a bit more colourful but I think the game is already beautiful. I really do🥰
Yeah honestly, I just play with a reshade that makes shadows darker and bumps up the saturation a lil
Works great!
@@sporeham1674 go try Nolvus V5:
It is a little gray by default isn't it?
‘Everything is going smoothly’ said the man with no head 😂 10:34
I would definitely notice if there was no third person in an elder scrolls game. I only use first person if I’m using a bow.
Same. And then I found a mod that properly simulates the crosshair for bows and spells in third person, and also used bows in third person lol.
@@sazo1stProper spell casting direction?🤣 must have definitely.
@@DripzEU823 what?
@@sazo1st The mod bruh
@@DripzEU823 nah I'm pretty sure it was smoothcam with the raycasting cross hair feature.
I didn't take "proper spell casting directions" as a mod name so it just seemed like an incromprehensible sentence to me lmao
MY BOY! LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY!
Tbf, your take on enb is a 50/50... just dont use bad enb presets. Enb can and will enhance the visual quality of skyrim - just dont use the bad/outdated presets.
Good to see another video. Always enjoyed the new videos. It’s clear you put in lot of effort just by watching. Seriously the amount of editing and going through several 6 hours recorded footage and picking the best one while hoping the software doesn’t crash.
As someone with ADHD as well knowing you can do it gives me quite lot a lot of motivation. Especially the amount of research put into these.
Hiya, one of the "artists" behind ASO, here. It's always cool to see people enjoying our dumb little unfinished mod, lol. Sadly I hit a creative limit with it and am using Kanj's Borderlands textures now as well. Thanks for including our mod in your video :)
Blocking is not pointless. I consistently abuse shield and block bashing to get through legendary difficulty. As for dodging all you have to do is bait the enemy’s attack and step back. Once they finish the swing you can usually get about 1-2 hits in before reading the next attack and walking backwards again. Or you can bash them and skip their turn.
A elder Scrolls game with the gameplay of dark Messiah would be fantastic
100% 👍
So skyrim but with a kicking meta? I think fixing the underpowered magic so a pure mage would not just be viable, but actually fun and rewarding would be nice.
@@nicholasmorgan7609 ironcally the sole sucky build in dark messiah is the stealth one
@@khamayounes5426 I haven't played Dark Messiah, I just know that kicking is a big part of many playthroughs.
@@nicholasmorgan7609 wait magic is supposed to be bad I went for a full mage build a couple months ago I never really had problems
The blocking function is like, my main combat staple. It works great.
I would like it to kind of be a simplified Cheverly 2 blocking system.
@@bacchus9579 A mix of that and For Honor or Mount n' Blade
3:30 This technique in game design terms is called edge detection, and is not just used in game development but in the medical and law fields also to find bacteria through pictures rendered on the computer and fingerprint scanners to name a few.
The us army developed new night vision goggles that do just that, but in real life. Pretty cool.
"Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG)"
I love your videos, man, they're so good. Congratulations from Spain
Guess I'm the only one who can still love vanilla skyrim with all its quirks
The point about mods breaking is a very pertinent one. When I was starting to get the urge to maybe attempt another Skyrim deep dive, maybe see if I could get MXO and other mods that drastically change the combo flow and such up, that's when the big update they did last hit, with a bugfix patch about a week later. Mod scene was in chaos, and a few modders also jumped ship or threw drama tantrums during that point as well, which hasn't really helped any desire to triple check the current state of some of those advanced plugins that aren't just fixed with a version number. With games like Oblivion and New Vegas, the support cycle's long over and it's less unpredictable.
Of course, I don't think anyone was expecting patches 11 years after Skyrim's release either so...
Ya it's so depressing how destroyed the modding scene is, especially when combat mods were getting so good
I wonder what they updated?
That's why all mod authors recommend switching auto updates off for Skyrim on Steam. That way Bethesda's goofy updates don't wreck your mods.
Coming across your comment a year later and rolling rn because they fuckin did it again
I always play skyrim in 3rd person lmao. I generally hate the first perspective in most games so it would definitely have bothered me had the game been exclusively first person.
3rd person is great, but Skyrim did that quite poorly. Camera feels like you are in a car, doesnt follow anything and I had some issues with camera being irresponsive to mouse movement once in the 3rd person (needed to restart the game). On top of that, melee feels mediocre with it (absolute average, its just there while not being unlocked - you cant change direction while not turning the camera at the same time unless you use mods like shown in the video), but anything ranged was an absolute nightmare due to no locking system and overall targetting cursor misplacement (especially on my caster playthrough, needed to always remember that Im targetting about 2mm above the cursor in the vanilla). Not a fan of Skyrim 3rd person camera, fan of Dark Souls/Witcher 3rd person camera style though.
@@matejbosela9093 Oh yeah I agree, especially for combat it's terrible. But I do prefer it over first person when I'm traveling
@@Zaanse_Mayo thats true, I use 1st person in combat and when "climbing" without horse
That Prince of Persia game was underrated and deserves a sequel.
Honestly, the people that say "Just use mods!" Don't understand that the game itself is supposed to be complete and that mods are just additions too it, not complete overhauls
Also why do so many modders try to copy Dark souls in a game that does not work well with it's combat style?
it does work well if you mod it right and the fact is skyrim is lacking in so many departments compared to for example morrowind or oblivion for example i use a vanilla plus modlist enhancing the graphics whilst keeping a vanilla style and aesthetic adding more immersive lore friendly armour , weapons , gameplay mechanics that make the game more like morrowind and a proper rpg and indepth , improved cities and towns aswell as ai and quests making the ai feel real not just mindless zombies infact skyrim has less unique npcs than morrowind which is dissapointing and the cities are so small
there are great overhauls on Wabbajack that might as well be different games, if not outright so. check those out if you are interested in switching it up.
Vanilla Skyrim: Wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle.
The ENB I'm using is fully customized over hours of gameplay - It definitely makes Skyrim look better than vanilla I can promise you that lol. It's a love child between Rudy ENB and Visceral ENB that I've spent hours tweaking to perfection for nights, mornings, interiors, etc.
I've added a few weather ini's for some interiors that needed a bit of an extra boost. I used the default values from my exterior adjustments and tweaked them from there to keep a similar look to the rest of the environment. I'm using Rustic Weathers and Lighting which I feel is the best weather mod available.
@@ThickmoidYeast I saved my Config files to a folder in my Google drive lol
Willing to share?
@@lapaba1236 yeah once I get home from the gym I'll send you my Google drive link with my modlist which includes my ENB preset files and some additional settings! I have no feedback on it yet so let me know what you think lol
@@lapaba1236 docs.google.com/document/d/1dEeGx13xMUOWgr9lV4Lnelz6sAAif9DLwqkeEtgCti8/edit?usp=sharing
Let me know if you can view it and access the enb files! I think the permissions are set up correctly.
I wouldve agreed with your opinion on ENB years back, but honestly they just look stunning now. In every situation, albeit with a massive performance loss.
Honestly, stuff like picho and rudy rival games being released today
1:45 that Prince of Persia attempt at a reboot had a lot of promise even though it was hated on at the time, one thing that was bad about it was no actual deaths, it would be interesting to imagine an alternate timeline where that game had done well and we would have seen more open world games later in that style
It's been a month and the goat is finally back
Great video mason , love your content man
skyrim but replace the stormcloaks with the legion, the imperials with the ncr, and the dragons with enclave vertibirds. complete the mainstory to unlock your own vertibird and skyrim themed power armor. secret side quest to side with the enclave to magic nuke the two faction capitals and bring super mutains into the elderscrolls
I was like “tf is this guy talking about, you can make Skyrim look like a modern game with like minimum effort maybe the videos old” then I realized it was a month ago.
You're one of my favourite youtubers. Keep making the best elder scrolls content there is out here!
This show how much a good comic book style rpg could be great. I really like the whole setup
Personally not a fan of the graphics mods that were applied, but I am really impressed and intrigued by the 3rd person combat mods
what a great video, ty kind sir!
This looks dope, as someone who loves skyrim and borderlands this is pretty neat
"SSE Reshade Helper" will ensure the UI and maps will be left untouched and only renders the game world.
With the title the first place my mind went was Endearl, then you went mad, i love it.
glad you're still uploading. hope all is well
Bro turned skyrim into a unity game
Wow, Mason... Really nice editing! I like it. Hope, I can make it to a stream of yours again soon. Has been a long time.
My first Skyrim playthrough I played primarily in 3rd person and loved it
God I hate the shouldercam, It's why I REFUSE to ever play any game that has it. It messes with my minds idea of what's in front of me, and the fact it usually makes the left of the screen on hell of a blind spot. Simply Loathsome.
Was that Micky D ordering pizza?
yes lmao
Crossover when?!
Awesome video! More like this 🎉
the jokes in this like the oblivion joke and the dick grayson joke are honestly what secured my sub 😂 plus this content is amazing, i love how you're explaining yourself along the way!!
Also the experience mod updated like a week after this video came out, I'm also using it rn and it's really nice! Makes questing and new lands mods really great to use since I'm not leveling up as quickly
WHY doesnt anyone use the oil painting version of Artistic skyrim OVerhaul? it has detail
The rate at which bad Skyrim modding takes fall from your mouth is astounding.
If playing through Steam, making a copy of the game's directory and using that for your modded install means you can play it without having the game auto-update from under your feet. That way, your mods don't just suddenly break, because updating the base game will now be an active decision you have to make.
Also worth noting: MO2 makes modding, and tweaking of mods, a breeze.
Insane work, just wow
The worst parts of Skyrim's art direction are the lack of color in many areas and the character models.
Yet another interesting video. A delight indeed
Man those movement and camera mods are game changers. They should have put that in
wow nice mod collection!
I love the style of Borderlands and cel-shaded games and actually modedd New Vegas to look like it
The one thing that I really wanted in the game without mods was the option of being able to redo your houses because there's times when I'm not comfortable with the final layout
I played Oblivion and Skyrim on console for years, so mods are a newer thing for me and I still barely run any. Thank you for posting the list
As long as Sykrim's NPCs, quests and dungeons are boring (and quests lead into a dungeon, without exception), Skyrim will always be the same-y goo that it is.
Cuz while the dungeons were hand-made, they use a limited set of assets, and humans as opposed to an algorithm can get bored and out of ideas when using said assets.
I absolutely LOVE the borderlands 2 cell shading style
It would be really cool if you could make a guide on how to set these mods up... or just release the various config files
I'm playing skyrim rn and trying to do a similar thing, and wildcat is a godsend. I spend one minute fighting a regular enemy because both our health bars were so huge and we did no damage, so I upped my damage to 2x and enemies to 3.5, really made the game feel great.
I have spent a fair amount of time trying to make Skyrim feel more like Morrowind, with the music, font, attributes, racial powers, and birth signs. Some mods also make the world a lot less leveled (though it's already much less leveled than Oblivion). Hit chance combat is probably not possible in Skyrim, at least not in a playable form. I know lots of people hate it, but as a DnD fan it really doesn't bother me.
Something I do like is that Skyrim's various DLC like Hearthfire and Fishing are bringing back the old life simulation aspects of Arena and Daggerfall. A banking system and horse carriages for loot would go a long way towards giving the series a feeling of returning to its roots!
Finally, I can make Skyrim into a Shoddycast video🙏
I know that im abit late but Dragonborn Voice Over + Alternate Conversation Camera for that true convo experiance
God, all those mods that require DAR are so appealing. I don’t have the patience to revert my game version just to do it, though, as I’d have to redo every other mod too..
Your videos are great
“Crashes into Oblivion” I see what you did
To combat the constant updates breaking my mod lists, on my last mod list, I used the downgrade patcher when modding. I update to AE and download all the content then use the downgrade patcher and it well patches the game to Pre-AE version all while you having the ability to still use the AE content.
Is it more of a pain in the ass to do yes, and you also gotta find that specific SKSE Version for that game version too. But you get access to more mods.
bro just turned skyrim into borderlands 2
Enbs can also inject new shader systems into your game, not just tweak existing shaders. For example, texture parallaxing.
It doesn't actually add parallax to Skyrim since it's already capable of it, just for whatever reason it doesn't use it.
I'm so glad to see my irl friend's mod in this video, Kanj (not his real name obviously) is a good friend of mine and i sometimes give him mod ideas.
Personally I like the texture and lighting mods that make the characters look like painted in textures. I love the anatomy of races, with the painting textures is tops. True directional movement and smooth cam are the greatest gift to skyrim
Glad to see the new video. I like your insight on how the first-person perspective affects how immersed you are. I've been playing Dragon's Dogma again (in part thanks to rewatching your videos) and enjoy making my character look the way I want him to. One of the things that disappointed me about the third-person perspective camera in Skyrim is that I couldn't admire these great boots I have. I felt it was too restrictive. I like to enjoy my own aesthetic, part of the RPG experience is obtaining new equipment to enjoy customising. When I'm making an important game save where they use a screenshot as the thumbnail in Skyrim I switch to the third-person perspective and try capturing something nice.
Skyrim's first person perspective consists of floating arms and that's it. There's no looking down and seeing the rest of your gear. So when exactly are you checking out those boots of yours if not in third person?
11:17 I can hear the shots being fired at DAR and felinsky XD
"before it crashes to oblivion..." Hah i see what ya did there.
Is it possible to get these graphics on console I'd love to do a playthrough with this look?
What's the name of the Experience Mod that you said that's working? I tried Experience the other day but it's not working smh. Btw how do combat overhaul mods work with werewolves? I have a werewolf build I'm really enjoying but I don't wanna ruin it with a combat mod. Is it still worth it?
at this point im just convinced that AAA corporate studios just make modding passive aggressively impossible so they can strategically reign in their communities ability to create their own DLC content
When the sketchy middle man changes some of your answers on your homework and you end up with perfect scores
"Map for some reason also gotva drawline."
That's because the map is the entire world zoomed out (unless you use fwfw) so if you zoom out when a dragon spews fire you see it if you zoom in
Always funny to me how another mod has to be installed to fix a problem from a previous, while causing more problems
Sheen this is 7th time this cycle you have turned skyrim into a different game
This made me wipe all my mods and attempt turning Skyrim into an 80's cartoon
That Mario loading thing gave me hella nostalgia
I actually enjoy this art style that you’ve added in many places. I think it makes it look better. As well as the combat improvements in the other things you did I really enjoyed this. I wonder if it would be able to make it more vibrant more like Kingdoms of Amalur vibrant?
They aren't emulating dark souls, if anything their emulating how skyrim does difficulty. Playing dark souls you'll realize most enemies actually don't have much health.
For the pointless fucking updates Bethesda keeps releasing for Skyrim, you can manually stop Steam from updating the game permanently. And most mods now work for the same specific version of Skyrim SE, so you can just revert your game back to a previous version/update using a patcher.
Doing this is highly recommended and will save you a lot of heartache in the future with modding.
By Azura, by Azura, by Azura! It's cantina he’s back
So I’ve always hated Skyrim’s 3rd person but could never figure out why and your explanation about the camera moving like it’s following a car is so spot on it opened ,y eyes lmaoooo tdm is a good mod
You're gonna look me in the eyes and tell me ENBs don't make Skyrim look better?
Samurai Musashi had pretty sick cell shading
Your understanding of ENB and what it does couldn't be more wrong
If there was any way you could make this in one mid pack I would return to Skyrim. Please make this all in one mod pack
I would love to see an attempt at a 3rd person elder scrolls game (a recent one I mean) the potential is crazy
That cell shade part made it look like bo4 Zombies in cartoon mode 😂
me: "I don't see an issue with skyrim's combat system"
also me: archery 100 stealth 100 illusion 100
modder's skyrim is the modern jason's ship conundrum
