Danny you need to nix that background chatter mod, or is it me. And yes am loving the paid mod section think it's great to give a little love back to them 👍💯
Dude, what's up with the description? _"many people refer to this official Bethesda approved content as 'paid mods,' and are have allot of assumed knowledge about what the quality will be like, I don't blame them, because the quality does varies massively."_ "and are have allot"? "the quality does varies"? Good Grief! {:o:O:}
I would like to take a minute to point out that this paid mod is suspiciously similar to another mod by the same author that was mysteriously deleted six months before this mod released.
A conflicting dilemma indeed. On one hand if someone feels they should get payed for their hard work, then I guess they should. On the other hand if someone has enjoyed free mods created by others but then decides to charge for ones own contribution, I feel its a slap to the rest of the community.
The disruptive updates are a nuisance, but it's not right to just say F Bethesda. We wouldn't have this game and all of it's modularity if not for Bethesda. There's good and bad to nearly everything.
Not a fan of the Brotherhood mod..... but the Bards and East Empire are great, and worth it. At least the modders get a bit of coin for their work. I heard they get 30 percent. Musicians get 15-25 percent, so it's standard. There's lots of great mods on Steam that are free, but some don't work, or were never updated for SE or AE. It takes time to check them out. With a paid one, I expect it to work, and be smooth and well polished. So far so good. Thanks for the video!
The problem I have with this new add-on is that the contracts are coming directly from NPCs. If this is intended to be played after you finish the main DB questline (meaning that the Night Mother is at the sanctuary); why then is no one performing the black sacrament? At least have the new initiates acknowledge that the Night Mother has received and given them their contracts.
I've heard rumors that the paid mods _might_ be altered to allow players to get achievements - I for one would like this. I've seen what the paid mods offer, and the three I'd like to get shouldn't disable my achievements if I'm paying real money for them.
These are the only type of mods that I would genuinely pay for. A DLC-sized expansion like the new Bard's College mod is a lot different than some generic player home.
The inconsistency of quality, especially with "verified creators" tells me the vetting process is probably about the level of give us 8 bucks for a blue check mark
Once every 6 months or so, I'll dip into (heavily modded) Skyrim, and every time I'm left with the feeling of: I so DESPERATELY want someone other than Bethesda to make an open-world fantasy game like Skyrim / The Elder Scrolls.

As someone who has enjoyed every single mainline Bethesda release, I'm so confused each time I see a comment that starts with, _"After Starfield..."_ It's not exactly the same thing as the Elder Scrolls or Fallout, nor should it be, but Starfield is every bit a BGS game and scratched that same itch. I'm genuinely bewildered, and feel that a significant amount of people have been brainwashed by social media narratives. And I mean truly, actually mind-fxckxd by grifters who profit on outrage.
@@jessep5280 LOOL, yeah, brainwashed, in other words cleaned. You've been braindirtied, and now you can't think straight. In fact your three paragraphs are literally "I'm confused, I'm bewildered, I'm mindfxkd!" You can't even think straight! Starfield is objectively a terrible game made for 10 year olds to play. Synthetic Mans video on it is perfect, literally objectively correct.
Someone paid for the mods you use lol. It just wasn't you. Any mod that uses external assets costs money. Which is all the best ones. So you are taking money out of the pockets of other fans and creators alike.
Same, after Starfield and seeing what every AAA company has been doing the last year. I am honestly afraid of what we might get in ES6. Really afraid that they will nerf every race.

Truth. IIRC, Thor / Pirate Software (who used to work at Blizzard) revealed a $15 horse for WoW made more money than StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty. Once Executives and shareholders saw the profit potential in micro-transactions (more like "macro," now), it was all over.
@@listofromanticsyeah. Why spend millions making a whole game when you can spend $1000 or less making a skin that you can sell for 20-25% of the cost of the whole 50 million dollar game lol
East Empire Expansion not that great pretty pathetic as far as content goes. If it wasn't for Sim Settlements 2 I would have felt like I wasted money. Which I kind of feel like I did but Sim Settlements is just so good I can justify paying for dissatisfaction. However will never pay for a Bethesda mod again. I'll stick to patreon donations after I play an awesome mod. Not interested in dealing with buyers remorse again.
Yeah the search and filtering system at Bethesda mods feel like they're hamstrung on purpose. It feels kinda like how Walmart puts the milk in the back of the store so you have to walk pass all the crap to get what you want. And that's if you can actually find it.
Genuine question, no shade, but why do people care about achievements so much? I've never been able to understand how an external trophy system outside the game carries so much weight with players.

That's why the principle of keeping modding free should matter, at least to anyone passionate about gaming, and wary of the majority business models of games (or their extended content) made in 2024.
I'm not against paid mods as a concept. But they need to be creating Unique assets. I don't just want to see basic quests with vanilla armour sets with slightly different stats. Those, I'm straight up not buying and I think its pretty poor that anyone at Bethesda greenlights them for sale as a creation. Maybe that is harsh, but as a player, I don't find a glorified "go fetch" quest with generic items rewarding enough to spend actual money on. If Bethesda brought out a method for non-modders to make custom quests, this wouldn't be any different from what someone with a limited skillset could come up with. I'm very wary of paid mods becoming a case of "give a yard, take a mile", if Bethesda are approving mods to be sold to player, then there is an expectation of quality. If it becomes a numbers game, and Bethesda stop curating the quality of the work being placed on the Creations, then it will kill things off fairly quick. As an example, Beyond Skyrim, Legacy Of the Dragon Born, Project AHO - all largescale projects, that I wouldn't grudge paying for at all. Similarly, all of the anniversary edition "alternative armour" sets are amazing and well worth rebuying the game for!! Also, I'm looking to get back into Starfield, and Elianora has made Crimson Fleet themed hab for purchase as a creation, this is the sort of quality I'm talking about.
Honestly, bethesda should be worried. Ive been reading the comments all over the place and alot of them are similar with my own thoughts. After having so much trust and faith in bethesda after the masterpieces that was Morrowind, Oblivion, falllout 3 & skyrim. Over time they've not produced any quality game on the same level (although Fallout 4 was still quite fun, just not raising the bar like the other titles). I just hope and pray TESVI is good. But honestly, even ive lost all my hype for its release because of how long its been and how soulcrushed ive felt over starfield. Im optimistic because of my blind love for the elder scrolls but even i can't deny that the new developing team has nothing on the passion that the old bethesda team had when putting in the effort for the elder scrolls. Oblivion was peak, they wanted to add so much and push the limits to every capacity because of how much they loved their job crafting that world. Then you go to the new development team who are more inclined to utilise A.I and procedural generated content to fill in any blanks, rather than handcrafting and putting in the hard work. I hope im wrong, but i just have this sinking feeling that when TESVI arrives, it won't give us that same instant nostalgia we had for morrowind,oblivion and skyrim.
I really hate your fooling around 😑 Pls, get serious when doing playthroughs for the public. Btw, i love the voiceacting of these 2 new characters, especially the male one. He sounds so professional and convincing. A very well written character!
I want rockstar to make a fallout/elder scrolls game um tired of bethesda i been here since fallout 2 and morrowind Edit: literally anyone else make a game that rivals bethesdas games in all the best ways until then they will keep giving u mediocrity
My view is i have no problem spending 10 dollars on a mod, if its quality and if the actual creator is getting 90% of the money. That being said a refund option would be nice if I find it disturbs game balance or is of poor quality. I also have no idea why game developers have all but stopped releasing dlc for large titles like Starfield or Red Dead. Fallout 3 Skyrim and New Vegas had wonderful expansions and set a standard for the industry. A standard i would love to support but here we are now.
I wish these sort of quests were part of the Anniversary edition instead. Wasn't a fan of having to read constant books and notes for every single questline. I'm alright with it to some extent, but some quests were super lacking due to lack of voice acting and it made them feel pretty repetitive.
Danny I am using your Next Gen Mod List and LOVE it. Are the Bethesda Creations compatible with your Next Gen. Mod list? Obviously, I don't need any additional textures but are the quests, such as "Echos of the Veil" Compatible? I always thought the Veil needed an expansion
The Dark Brotherhood Initiates "mod" was already a thing on Nexus for free. The creator took if off Nexus and uploaded it on creations as a "paid mod". There were a few changes between the two but still...
Great video as usual. Could you please do a comparison review of the latest Skyrim pre-made large mod packs? Like which produce the best graphics, add best quests or content, add co-op multi-player, add AI NPC voice chatting. Many thanks. :)
Is "TheOscar0" a member of Bethesda's team? Or is this an independent mod author? Because you've got to give credit where credit is due, if this is not a Bethesda made product, then you should probably say the mod author's name. Because it might be Bethesda approved, but if they didn't create the mod and somebody else did, then they shouldn't take all the credit. I know it's just words, though if you worked really hard on something, you wouldn't want somebody else taking credit for it. That's all I'm saying.. I do appreciate you and the content that you put out, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, it's just that I've noticed this with a few videos that you've uploaded videos and given Bethesda credit when clearly it doesn't say "By:Bethesda". Even though Skyrim is their game, the "Mod Author created content" technically is not, or is it?
It's very difficult for me to maintain respect with people defending paid mods, since this kind of action do explore the consumer and people that cannot control their money on something. If the mod its bad or not, paying for a mod that is not even canonical to the game looks very bad for me. What guarantee did you have if the mod mess with your game? Companies like bethesda, are searching for people to make their own work to fix the problem that they don't resolve. And what happens if bethesda update the game and these paid mods don't receive the proper update? And since bethesda allowed paid mods on creations, I didn't see any youtuber, specially the ones that created a lot of content from their games, saying that they're not against this thing. All with the same argument that the modders need to be payed... Why that now? Specially when bethesda did this??
@@jeremykatana1389 So you should benefit from mods that the author had to pay out of their own pocket and not give anything in return? External/altered assets are not free dude. And all the best mods use them.
@WileeCoyote1516 this is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Ever. You know nothing about modding and how free mods actually make the author money. You're a tool bro. Good try though
@@LymeGreen04 paid mods will be the only way to play with mods soon. And then you will not be saying this. Free modders get paid, you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
@@jeremykatana1389 not true. they cant stop people from modding their games. free modders do not get paid unless someone goes out of there way to do it which is almost never.
man i sure wish a website wherei could download hundreds of mods for free existed...having to pay for these very minor mods that dont really add tha..wait..there is a website for thousands of mods for free?...oh man..
Aaaahhhh Skyrim, the jankiness of the engine is part of the charm 😃Also it is up to the buyer to have a look at the mod to see if it is a decent mod, or just a reskin.
Hey, I'm also a verified Modder for Bethesda!:) But I don't post creations that look like free or something like that. what I hope to get out of my hard-earned island with bosses and loot. (great content as always friend)
Fuck the content club. And is the worst way possible right now to support modders, don't come for me with the argument that "they can finally get paid"
Right? mod authors been getting paid! The only difference now is Bethesda has their hands in the honey pot, That's the only reason the creation market/creation club exists so they could take a cut and exploit Modder's "free labor" for lack of a better term.
There is NO POINT to pay for a Mod if it disables Achievements/Trophies. Why would you PAY for something that disables a Feature of the Base Game? Thats stupid. I know that Mods made by Bethesda dont disable Achievements/Trophies, but the ones made by Modders do. So until they fix this issue, people wont be wasting Money on them, especially since they use to be FREE!!!!!
These aren't being made by the game developer lol. They are made by people of the community. The comment sections have some really stupid people in them.
@@LymeGreen04 Feel very disgusted with comment section. People are destroying the game. The mask has been uncovered since bethesda created this thing.
I wonder... how paid mods are actually secured? What if game gets patched, mod becomes incompatible and modder does not repair it? Or what if game actually gets mod content through DLC or update?
12:12 You literally kill people at random just to see it they are the assassin. Only to find her and then want to go talk to her? You are a strange person indeed. 17:10 Bugged? . I have seen a bunch of mods as you played through. I wonder if you could drop a list in the description? I really like the background sounds of people talking as it makes the towns sound alive. One thing that bothers me is the apparent lack of interest in the people around the player. You would think that they would take notice of your outfits. Especially the targets. So much so that the guards might attack you on sight. Getting the player to blend in like a real assassin would need to. Also, I wonder why no one added NPC reaction to the player. Like an NPC reacting to a player drawing a weapon or pointing a knocked arrow at them? They have that in a game called Third street saints. Point a firearm at a cop in that game and you get shot. 32:03 If you follow what she says, you know that she hates her husband. 34:08 Another bug? 35:18 Odd that she is now complaining about being here after expressing interest in going. Looks like someone did spend some time in this mod.
Actually doing my second playthrough with mods since I unlocked all trophies and it is so much fun.Also doing vampire questline since I did dawngaurd last time to see what goodies I get.
I think it has but I am playing it with mods so I am blurry what is what. However you can add free mods that complement them and nexus have the aesthetic changes already for free.
No lousy mods for money. Nope. I donate to creators on Nexus. It should remain that way. Factor has great food but you have to be rich to afford it. LOL that dawnstar guard in the sanctuary. AHAHAHA
The quality of creations have definitely increased but it doesn't help your stability in the slightest. Since you can't disable or delete creations you have to nuke your whole game to get rid of them. I just had to do it with my xbox one x because the anniversary edition is extremely unstable. Now I only have 16 mods including creations and my game is functioning perfectly again.
I really wish Bethesda would fix starfield. I just deleted my lv 7 because I only downloaded the free Bethesda armor and the game eventually froze (was starting the trackers guild), restart the game and audio is gone. Every time I download anything for the game, several hours in and the audio just stops. It's the number 1 reason I keep stopping playing the game.
If they could add CC content through non-intrusive live patches, I wouldn't mind. But I wish they'd stop forcibly ruining massive modlists to make a cash grab on a more than decade old game. Steam's interface unfortunately doesn't have a way to disable updates for a game, so you have to manually delete that game's appid from the appmanifest file in your steam folder to basically "hide" it from Steam to prevent updates.

Honestly, bethesda should be worried. Ive been reading the comments all over the place and alot of them are similar with my own thoughts. After having so much trust and faith in bethesda after the masterpieces that was Morrowind, Oblivion, falllout 3 & skyrim.
Over time they've not produced any quality game on the same level (although Fallout 4 was still quite fun, just not raising the bar like the other titles).
I just hope and pray TESVI is good. But honestly, even ive lost all my hype for its release because of how long its been and how soulcrushed ive felt over starfield. Im optimistic because of my blind love for the elder scrolls but even i can't deny that the new developing team has nothing on the passion that the old bethesda team had when putting in the effort for the elder scrolls. Oblivion was peak, they wanted to add so much and push the limits to every capacity because of how much they loved their job crafting that world. Then you go to the new development team who are more inclined to utilise A.I and procedural generated content to fill in any blanks, rather than handcrafting and putting in the hard work.
I hope im wrong, but i just have this sinking feeling that when TESVI arrives, it won't give us that same instant nostalgia we had for morrowind,oblivion and skyrim.
Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives?
I really hate your fooling around 😑
Pls, get serious when doing playthroughs for the public. Btw, i love the voiceacting of these 2 new characters, especially the male one. He sounds so professional and convincing. A very well written character!
There's actually a dark brotherhood mod that adds better DB armor to the game that is Ebony quality, and it still is enchanted.
LOL at that guard offing you 24m in.
Listener? Uh… ESO? Buddy? I’m a Paragon player. The Dark Brotherhood is always dead in my playthroughs… So…
nerd
This mf isn't evil! CRINGE!
@@pottedrodenttube thank you!
@@pottedrodenttubeinsecurity is palpable
I want rockstar to make a fallout/elder scrolls game um tired of bethesda i been here since fallout 2 and morrowind
Edit: literally anyone else make a game that rivals bethesdas games in all the best ways until then they will keep giving u mediocrity
"But as I get older, the less time I have for gaming."
Said no gamer ever 😂
Am I the only one who thinks Asina is fine as hell
I can fix her
Good seeing you on Geekenders! Its always wild when artists I wouldn't think ever ran in the same circles collab!
My view is i have no problem spending 10 dollars on a mod, if its quality and if the actual creator is getting 90% of the money. That being said a refund option would be nice if I find it disturbs game balance or is of poor quality. I also have no idea why game developers have all but stopped releasing dlc for large titles like Starfield or Red Dead. Fallout 3 Skyrim and New Vegas had wonderful expansions and set a standard for the industry. A standard i would love to support but here we are now.
Bethesda will never get money from me ever again…..they scammed me for the last time with starfield
Content like this is what keeps Bethesda games alive. I don't care what anyone says about it. I enjoy it. 😅
Istlorn sounds like that Tharael guy from Rhalata in Enderal mod, wonder if that is the same voice actor
Paying for mods is a clown move
I’ll buy these mods if they have around 1,000 lines of dialogue and quests that are in depth that are not just fetch quests.
Itlorn's voice is rather soothing.
I haven't even updated from .640 and don't plan on it.
You don’t need to. it works on that version just get the Skyrim.misc from the newest update and these creations will function
I wish these sort of quests were part of the Anniversary edition instead. Wasn't a fan of having to read constant books and notes for every single questline. I'm alright with it to some extent, but some quests were super lacking due to lack of voice acting and it made them feel pretty repetitive.
I thought Istlorn was gonna start crying for a second there.
Danny I am using your Next Gen Mod List and LOVE it. Are the Bethesda Creations compatible with your Next Gen. Mod list? Obviously, I don't need any additional textures but are the quests, such as "Echos of the Veil" Compatible? I always thought the Veil needed an expansion
I would think so!
If you like this mod, you'd probably like the Brotherhood of Old mod. It's pretty good
The Dark Brotherhood Initiates "mod" was already a thing on Nexus for free. The creator took if off Nexus and uploaded it on creations as a "paid mod". There were a few changes between the two but still...
Great video as usual. Could you please do a comparison review of the latest Skyrim pre-made large mod packs? Like which produce the best graphics, add best quests or content, add co-op multi-player, add AI NPC voice chatting. Many thanks. :)
17:12 Rightfully so sir!!! LOLOL
I deleted Skyrim when the added the paid mods.
Is "TheOscar0" a member of Bethesda's team? Or is this an independent mod author? Because you've got to give credit where credit is due, if this is not a Bethesda made product, then you should probably say the mod author's name. Because it might be Bethesda approved, but if they didn't create the mod and somebody else did, then they shouldn't take all the credit. I know it's just words, though if you worked really hard on something, you wouldn't want somebody else taking credit for it. That's all I'm saying.. I do appreciate you and the content that you put out, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, it's just that I've noticed this with a few videos that you've uploaded videos and given Bethesda credit when clearly it doesn't say "By:Bethesda". Even though Skyrim is their game, the "Mod Author created content" technically is not, or is it?
Pretty decent mod, makes the dark brotherhood quests interesting. I got bored with the assassin quests towards the end.
I wonder why they've never made a standalone 'Elder Scrolls: Dark Brotherhood'? Id play it.
It's very difficult for me to maintain respect with people defending paid mods, since this kind of action do explore the consumer and people that cannot control their money on something. If the mod its bad or not, paying for a mod that is not even canonical to the game looks very bad for me. What guarantee did you have if the mod mess with your game? Companies like bethesda, are searching for people to make their own work to fix the problem that they don't resolve. And what happens if bethesda update the game and these paid mods don't receive the proper update?
And since bethesda allowed paid mods on creations, I didn't see any youtuber, specially the ones that created a lot of content from their games, saying that they're not against this thing. All with the same argument that the modders need to be payed... Why that now? Specially when bethesda did this??
Mods should never be paid
@@jeremykatana1389 So you should benefit from mods that the author had to pay out of their own pocket and not give anything in return? External/altered assets are not free dude. And all the best mods use them.
@WileeCoyote1516 this is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Ever. You know nothing about modding and how free mods actually make the author money. You're a tool bro. Good try though
Nah. Some modders want to get paid and they deserve to get paid. Some modders just do it for fun. It's up to the individual and I support both
@@LymeGreen04 paid mods will be the only way to play with mods soon. And then you will not be saying this. Free modders get paid, you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
@@jeremykatana1389 not true. they cant stop people from modding their games. free modders do not get paid unless someone goes out of there way to do it which is almost never.
man i sure wish a website wherei could download hundreds of mods for free existed...having to pay for these very minor mods that dont really add tha..wait..there is a website for thousands of mods for free?...oh man..
Aaaahhhh Skyrim, the jankiness of the engine is part of the charm 😃Also it is up to the buyer to have a look at the mod to see if it is a decent mod, or just a reskin.
Hey, I'm also a verified Modder for Bethesda!:) But I don't post creations that look like free or something like that. what I hope to get out of my hard-earned island with bosses and loot. (great content as always friend)
ES6 is going to have to be nothing short of groundbreaking in order to redeem themselves
Fuck the content club. And is the worst way possible right now to support modders, don't come for me with the argument that "they can finally get paid"
SPITTING.
Right? mod authors been getting paid! The only difference now is Bethesda has their hands in the honey pot, That's the only reason the creation market/creation club exists so they could take a cut and exploit Modder's "free labor" for lack of a better term.
So is it worth $6 ? you kinda didn’t say and you cut off too soon at the end
I do agree this mod at least does a little bit of justice to paid mods.
Will be waiting for the next Skyrim video or a livestream Danny❤
There is NO POINT to pay for a Mod if it disables Achievements/Trophies.
Why would you PAY for something that disables a Feature of the Base Game? Thats stupid. I know that Mods made by Bethesda dont disable Achievements/Trophies, but the ones made by Modders do. So until they fix this issue, people wont be wasting Money on them, especially since they use to be FREE!!!!!
Rather than making mods for a 13 YO game they should focus on TES VI (and let's hope it won't be as bad as Starfield)
These aren't being made by the game developer lol. They are made by people of the community. The comment sections have some really stupid people in them.
@@LymeGreen04 Bethesda was the one who created "Creation Club" and some of the mods so you are the dumb one here
@@LymeGreen04 Feel very disgusted with comment section. People are destroying the game. The mask has been uncovered since bethesda created this thing.
I like adding more creatures to the game most are on nexus not creation club
Your videos are like opening a chest of treasures. Every frame is a true gem!🦁 % 😳,
I been playing since 360 amazing game.
I wonder... how paid mods are actually secured? What if game gets patched, mod becomes incompatible and modder does not repair it? Or what if game actually gets mod content through DLC or update?
12:12 You literally kill people at random just to see it they are the assassin. Only to find her and then want to go talk to her? You are a strange person indeed.
17:10 Bugged?
.
I have seen a bunch of mods as you played through. I wonder if you could drop a list in the description?
I really like the background sounds of people talking as it makes the towns sound alive.
One thing that bothers me is the apparent lack of interest in the people around the player.
You would think that they would take notice of your outfits. Especially the targets.
So much so that the guards might attack you on sight. Getting the player to blend in like a real assassin would need to.
Also, I wonder why no one added NPC reaction to the player. Like an NPC reacting to a player drawing a weapon or pointing a knocked arrow at them? They have that in a game called Third street saints. Point a firearm at a cop in that game and you get shot.
32:03 If you follow what she says, you know that she hates her husband.
34:08 Another bug?
35:18 Odd that she is now complaining about being here after expressing interest in going.
Looks like someone did spend some time in this mod.
Paid mods and their consequences have been a disaster for our community
lol ... bethesda has no bar for loooong time
Actually doing my second playthrough with mods since I unlocked all trophies and it is so much fun.Also doing vampire questline since I did dawngaurd last time to see what goodies I get.
I would 100% buy this dark brotherhood mod if it had actual unique weapon and armor models
I think it has but I am playing it with mods so I am blurry what is what. However you can add free mods that complement them and nexus have the aesthetic changes already for free.
I would pay for extra space
No lousy mods for money. Nope. I donate to creators on Nexus. It should remain that way. Factor has great food but you have to be rich to afford it. LOL that dawnstar guard in the sanctuary. AHAHAHA
Hey ESO, love the videos, just recently watched all of the fallout London streams and loved it! Have you thought of playing Lies of P?
Forever Free. PERIOD.
That mod is not in the creation club on PlayStation 5
After seeing free Xbox mods nothing on Playstation is worth anything lol. Add animation textures and ui mods and I'll think about it 😂
The quality of creations have definitely increased but it doesn't help your stability in the slightest.
Since you can't disable or delete creations you have to nuke your whole game to get rid of them.
I just had to do it with my xbox one x because the anniversary edition is extremely unstable. Now I only have 16 mods including creations and my game is functioning perfectly again.
I really wish Bethesda would fix starfield. I just deleted my lv 7 because I only downloaded the free Bethesda armor and the game eventually froze (was starting the trackers guild), restart the game and audio is gone. Every time I download anything for the game, several hours in and the audio just stops. It's the number 1 reason I keep stopping playing the game.
If they didn't deactivate trophies and achievements I would be all in.
use a SAM for the achievements you would've gotten
Im getting this cause the female assass would look nova in the oriental assassin outfit.
That looks way better than hellofresh 3:18
I’ve been getting those Factor Meals delivered for the past 3 months and they are actually really good. I’m happy with them.
I’m done with Bethesda until they make another good game.
Looks fun but these creators should just do their own thing. Skyrim has long overstayed its welcome.
If they could add CC content through non-intrusive live patches, I wouldn't mind. But I wish they'd stop forcibly ruining massive modlists to make a cash grab on a more than decade old game. Steam's interface unfortunately doesn't have a way to disable updates for a game, so you have to manually delete that game's appid from the appmanifest file in your steam folder to basically "hide" it from Steam to prevent updates.
Steam's interface does in fact have a way to disable updates 🤣. Literally not hard to find.
I miss playing Skyrim but after they broke my mods for the third time in like 3 years I just couldn’t do it anymore
They should have these followers banter with each other sine people do use a multiple followers framework of some kind
there are also ripped nexus assets for sale on the skyrim store, its a joke. i dont care how many mods there are its mostly just crap
