alright so here is the issue with the markarth mod, it's super heavy, the city was already super heavy in the vanilla game which made it difficult to go there, but with this mod, it is now is super laggy to the point of it not being fun to play. unless the modder did some major performance fixes, this mod will be preform very badly for most users, now i'm sure you have a beefy machine and maybe a few tweaks that make this run a little better, but we all know how bethesda games work and the limitations of the engine and how it functions when there are to many assets within any given location.
@@cletdawg4203 damn, either you have a beastly computer or you weren't running many mods outside this. this area of the game has always been super laggy for me, even the vanilla fps are struggling in some places near the entrance. and i have used many mods that alter the entrance of this place and they always end up being under 40fps.
Seeing cinematic Skyrim shots makes me wish there was a mod that turned waiting into a montage with your character sandboxing around at different areas kinda like Rockband loading screens. Or cinematic camera mode from GTA/RDR. This would be dope. The idea of your character doing more than just standing in one place for hours on end, show them doing something! The game is already loading character movement and lighting changes. Why not make it interesting to wait or sleep? Another game that kinda touched on this was FFXV with the camping sites.
In a similar vein, if you went AFK in Anthem for a few minutes, the UI recedes, DOF activates, and the camera begins rotating around your character slowly until you start using the controller again. It was a neat cinematic experience to return to after a potty break.
@@Johtoboy55 that happens in skyrim as well. there is a mod that lets you sit down when you wait though, immersive intereactions, but thats all i know of
Guessing they're talking about the house from the house of horrors quest, you can use it as a house once you've completed the first stage of the quest ( killing tyranus).
Its hard to say how many I have in SkyrimVR since merging ESP's is basically required to exceed the 255 esp limit (ESLs dont work), but I must have exceeded 1000 mods months ago... I swear though, one of these days, I'm actually going to start playing the game!
@@Marin117. Yes, there are modlist out there now that have even more mods than my list look up aldrnari it's up to like 2300 mods and the list is pretty stable.
Markarth is so ominously beautiful and an absolute ancient treasure. You really feel like you've delved deeper into Skyrim's history when you're there. It's got such an awesome, detailed and intricate layout, too!
Always thought that what they should have done to expand the city is build a series of "quarters" based on the races like having the Redguard quarter where you pass through a large door (loading screen) into a dwarven hall with multiple levels and a main open hall with a few market stalls as well as a tavern with a room to rent at the back. Most of the residents would, of course be Redguards, but with a few other races mixed in as well as a couple of guards patrolling the area for thieves. Set it off the main city by placing it at the base of the steps leading to the purchasable hall in the city. Set some of the NPCs up to travel in between the main area and the quarter. Carrying water or going out to other shops or the main tavern or the Treasury House. Likewise have an Imperial Quarter and or a Nord Quarter. That way you build a bigger city, but that city is built using the Dwarven tendency for building underground and building for a few families to live together. But with the closer to ground level areas having been completely cleared out of Dwarven contraptions and other threats. Also reduces the clutter adding too many things to the main area creates.
Thank you so much for your content. I'm getting my first gaming PC and Skyrim is the first game I want to mod and experience. I haven'y played it since I first got it on 360 so seeing your mod showcases really gets me excited on what I can do to give Skyrim a personal remaster. I hope we get to see more videos overhauling the rest of Skyrim's cities, they are my favorite videos to watch
I really like the new editing style. It's like you focused on the content instead of crazy cuts (which admittedly were pretty cool, but too occasionally too much) and annoying whooshes.
i personally always feel like markarth should be a lot more. i honestly felt like that about all skyrims "cities" everyone living either in tents or taverns, only the rich noble families having there own home, lack of infrastructure fitting to call it a city, markarth in particular feels really scaled down. i understand its so you don't have a daggerfall experience of endlessly wandering a vast empty space, but i feel you can still have things in the spaces to where its an actual town with winding turning streets and homes for people.
Yeah I agree. I'd like to see a mod where someone had taken one of Skyrim's "cities" and actually turned it into a city. E.g. taken the basic layout of the city and expanded it dramatically. You go through a loading screen to get to any of the "big" cities anyway, so it doesn't need to affect the general map. These larger cities should have more people, more shops, and houses appropriate to a medieval city but also take inspiration for the lore. More foot traffic, more trade. More quests and crowds. Everything.
@@berilsevvalbekret772 I'd like to see someone take a new lands approach to Skyrim's "cities" and rebuild them from the ground up on that scale, just keeping the basic layout and existing buildings while also expanding the cities massively to an appropriate scale, using real world Medieval cities and lore for Inspiration. You go through a loading screen for the "big" cities so it doesn't even need to interfere directly with the general world map. It would of course be a massive undertaking for even one city, especially with all the quests that overlap, but it would be truly awesome.
After many years away from Skyrim I decided to return. Still assembling my mods atm, this video couldn't have been better timed. Anyways I've really upgraded my PC since then, going from a GT 460 and then GT1030 (which I was running near the max 250ish mods but no graphic overhauls) to a Titan V (and I'm now going for over 800 (though a lot are just patches) with graphic overhauls and ENB just to see wtf happens now that the limit has increased and my GPU can hopefully run them, lol). Obviously my first playthrough will just be quickly checking for clashes, other patches I might need, mods that dont work any more and maybe bad load order fixes... plus real estate shopping for best player home and companions. Anyways wish me luck.
I feel like Markarth just felt small and yet dizzyingly confusing. If there was one city you could get away with splitting into a few cells even for the public areas itd be the city where the people who lived underground used to live. Maybe a market in the mountain for the citizens with the jarls hall at the end so the outside portion was a few things like an inn and silverbloods etc for travelers with the citizens living in a mix between the two areas. Also a dwarven city built on a deposit of silver? Surely the dwarves had some method of smelting that would be as preserved as the rest of the city that could act like the smelter equivalent of the skyforge
Why did you install both GG's Farm and the Outskirts mod together? The farm is already part of the Outskirts overhaul and GG even stated to not use both on the Outskirts' main page. That may be part of the reason the doggo was clipping in the door...
Did you check out the mid that adds more building exteriors *above* the city? I think it's called markarth heights. Really made the city feel taller even though it was just a visual change.
you know, it's been three or four years I haven't played skyrim, I wont probably do it for some more, but this videos, YOUR videos, are soo visually good, sound relaxing and beautifully crafted that I will keep watching them... cheers!
Dude...i just binge watched all your episodes.. holly sh*t...editing worthy of a award. Keep up the work. All the best... ps.followed your modlist for skyrim,now feels like the pc is bearly holding on..LOL..😂
I've always thought it was weird that dwemer technology could be all mysterious and poorly-understood when there is a city built into their ruins. I feel like they'd have quite a lot of unnecessary machinery to tinker with and figure out the function of.
bro i love this channel, your edits are so amazing, and your channel is so underrated, all your videos look better than a videogame trailer, its like you make a trailer for the mods themselves, thank you for your work and keep it up 👍
Are there any mods that expand the interior of the keep? It seems also like a missed opportunity if not only Bethesda but the modding community haven't expanded the city to include at least part of the Dwemer city.
i love markarth its one of my favorite cities in the game! it always bothered me how fucked the keep was though, how are people going to be living there for *so long* and not even try to clean it up in any way?
Yeah it seems to be a common theme in Bethesda games. In Fallout 4 too. It's two hundred years later and people keep the skeletons of the Great War on in the living room.
I'm not against improving Skyrim one bit, but Markarth is probably one of the most interesting settlements in all of Skyrim, it's probably one of the few places that needs Mods the least. 🛡 it's verticality and spiraling-up design is unique to most settlements in the game. 🛡 it has some of the more interesting side quests in the game, Namira, Calcelmo, Forsworn King, Molag Bol [War Dog(s)]. 🛡 it has some of the best mines in the region [especially if you have Mods like Missives installed]. 🛡 it's large size makes it interesting to explore the "darker corners" of the city [especially with Mods like LoTD and 3DNPC]. 🛡 if you have "Skyrim Sewers" installed, it has some of the best Underworks in the game, probably second to Windhelm.
...another thing, how is it that Markarth has a thriving East Empire Company building? Last I checked, there's no safe waterways in the The Reach, most of their money comes from farming, property and Mining [thus the Silver-Bloods conflict]. This Mod is seeming a bit unfriendly to the Lore 06:08. 🤔 ...and don't even get me started on the Foresworn conflict, one of the biggest reasons why trade would be an issue to begin with.
The works thing is markarth is ameant to be debated as to if it's dwarven or not (said by the coach driver) but this modded version seems very overly obviously dwarven
@@Cythan ...and I'm pretty sure there's some Lore about why the trees in The Reach tend to be barren, all those lush trees just seem extremely out-of-place. "What Markarth should've been my a**!" 😂🙅♂
@@InconsequentialGaming I think it would still be one of the coolest cities it would probably just be that the metal was scrapped on the surface so it would be a slightly more hidden or denyable fact rather then blatant dwarven city but the dwarves are Nord's and use all of the stuff and know how to
@@Cythan I think the idea that we can't really tell, one way or the other is good for the Lore, deciding which is true is a bit heavy-handed IMHO. Still you'd think with how old Skyrim is, that the people who make content for it would know the World a bit better than this... 😂🤷♂
That could be interesting. Farms in Skyrim and tiny gardens at best, and who and how the farms are worked is really not explained. Do they use slaves? Serfs? Peasants? Do they use animals to pull ploughs? If you think about these questions it could help with world building and mod ideas a lot.
Looks great. Aside from the trees in the city. It doesn't seem like it fits. The Reach is exactly the type of place that doesn't have a lot of foliage and has a very rocky, stony terrain. It's not missing something, it's not Bethesda being lazy, it's just a specific type of terrain. Other than the trees it looks great.
@@itcouldbelupus2842 about 400. Still less than allot of these mod channels use. So far its only textures and meshes. Any mods after that didn't affect launch times. Loading screens are still almost instant. Just the initial launch is long. It seems to have been the NPC overhauls that did it. It went from 1 minute (for enb) to 5 minutes once I got to the NPCs
@@itcouldbelupus2842 I just wish I could figure out why I can't get a stable 60 FPS on a 3080. It seems unavoidable even though I'm only running mostly 2K textures playing on a 2K monitor. And unfortunately every hack I've seen to unlock the frame rate breaks ENB
They need to make orc settlements better. They’re supposed to be a legit force in the empire, and their settlements are barely better than the Reachmen.
You're right, they should feel like substantial towns with networks of smaller settlements. Right now they're like Skyrim towns, which means barely villages at most.
I have a mod that adds new textures to Markarth and Dwemer ruins with new stone Textures. CleverCharif is the mod author. I also use Skyrim Underground and Skyrim Sewers that add more Dwemer Ruins. Also have you play a game called Darkest Dungeon? Cause i found a Skyrim mod that adds that games Stress Mechanic to the game and another that adds followers from it too.
dunno man, markarth probably has the best quest so i wouldn't avoid it...i like the way it's structured, and there s loads of forsworn in the area which are quite challenging enemies, calcemo and the blacksmith in the Underground Keep work all day, so you don t have to wait till morning to sell your junk...... yeah, best settlement
I always felt that Markarth was intended to be a Gondor-esque style city built upon the mountains. Unfortunately, i don't think it got the time need to iterate on the design to really make it special. imagine if they had a crescent half moon style city, with tiers. palace on top with a noticable central shrine building as a spine. all carved and built like a mechanical craft imposed on the rock. instead the city felt like it was just buildings scatteredly built into the cliffs without a specific plan.
Whiterun is obvi rohan. I think it would also be cool if they had some overly dwarven aspects. like the open giant gate e.g. erebor or ironforge. yeah, ideal markarth crescent wall, with a tier steps. Singular central tower like shrine building. the tiers lead to a enormous open stone cut gate with secondary under ground interior section, lava dwemer tubes, etc...
It's crazy how they made an ancient dwarven city still populated by modern day people the most boring city in Skyrim. I always used to hate it because it felt like Skyrim gave you 4 unique cities, and one that was just a ton of repurposed dungeon assets. though lowkey, I've really come around to Markarth in recent years mosty thanks to mods.

No bounty if you stealth kill all the guards (I've done that multiple times in Markarth)

Markarth is the only city in my opinion that gives a pretty good illusion of being big since it's full of elevations and tall buildings lol
The important things missing in Markarth are the gates leading to Evermor (Highrock) and Dragonstar (Hammerfell)

Do they use slaves? Serfs? Peasants? Do they use animals to pull ploughs? If you think about these questions it could help with world building and mod ideas a lot.
Can you please do the tieves guild in the future really like those kinds of videos
I wish the release of a Heavyburns Wabbajack modlist!
Markarth is like a fantasy city if it were designed by steven king.
Everyone is evil. No exceptions.
Make more videos like these please, maybe putting them in a playlist would be nice.
Looks great. Aside from the trees in the city. It doesn't seem like it fits. The Reach is exactly the type of place that doesn't have a lot of foliage and has a very rocky, stony terrain. It's not missing something, it's not Bethesda being lazy, it's just a specific type of terrain. Other than the trees it looks great.
Markarth is the only city that at least "feels" big, mainly because of the elevations. But as always, it lacks a lot of the atmosphere
Man I have enough mods to make the game take 5 minutes to launch...guess ill make it 6
How many do you have?
@@itcouldbelupus2842 about 400. Still less than allot of these mod channels use. So far its only textures and meshes. Any mods after that didn't affect launch times. Loading screens are still almost instant. Just the initial launch is long. It seems to have been the NPC overhauls that did it. It went from 1 minute (for enb) to 5 minutes once I got to the NPCs
@@Cwronaga216 Nice, that's not too bad all up.
Means playing modded Skyrim is a real event you gotta wait for.
@@itcouldbelupus2842 I just wish I could figure out why I can't get a stable 60 FPS on a 3080. It seems unavoidable even though I'm only running mostly 2K textures playing on a 2K monitor. And unfortunately every hack I've seen to unlock the frame rate breaks ENB
Am I the only one that unironically loved Markarth and is one of my favorite cities
Hats off to you my man. You syn and Sgt are just so good at this it keeps me watching every vedio
Well, seems now I gotta make a Tri-Hards Faction Mod for Skyrim, and make it huge new lands mod.
Was literally just looking at your channel wondering when you'd upload agin
Damn! I've already reached 254 plugins...
Gotta think about something! These mods look really good!
We need a Riften video now
They need to make orc settlements better. They’re supposed to be a legit force in the empire, and their settlements are barely better than the Reachmen.
You're right, they should feel like substantial towns with networks of smaller settlements. Right now they're like Skyrim towns, which means barely villages at most.
Amazing work, love your stuff
Looks great 👍
Heavy Burns You Missed The Markarth City Of Stone Mod
I'm in the off season for Skyrim probably use this load order
That intro is always great.
I have a mod that adds new textures to Markarth and Dwemer ruins with new stone Textures. CleverCharif is the mod author. I also use Skyrim Underground and Skyrim Sewers that add more Dwemer Ruins. Also have you play a game called Darkest Dungeon? Cause i found a Skyrim mod that adds that games Stress Mechanic to the game and another that adds followers from it too.
dunno man, markarth probably has the best quest so i wouldn't avoid it...i like the way it's structured, and there s loads of forsworn in the area which are quite challenging enemies, calcemo and the blacksmith in the Underground Keep work all day, so you don t have to wait till morning to sell your junk...... yeah, best settlement
my mans needa accept that he bald already smh 7:16
I'm sure he stole NASA Computer.
needs more Dwarves
What Horse mod are you using? it looks cool!
and is it compatible with Convenient horses?
This is Markarth, traveler. Safest city in the Reach.
Easy to say and accurate when 1. It's the only city in the Reach.
2. We're talking about just the Reach.
I always felt that Markarth was intended to be a Gondor-esque style city built upon the mountains. Unfortunately, i don't think it got the time need to iterate on the design to really make it special.
imagine if they had a crescent half moon style city, with tiers. palace on top with a noticable central shrine building as a spine. all carved and built like a mechanical craft imposed on the rock.
instead the city felt like it was just buildings scatteredly built into the cliffs without a specific plan.
Whiterun is obvi rohan.
I think it would also be cool if they had some overly dwarven aspects. like the open giant gate e.g. erebor or ironforge.
yeah, ideal markarth crescent wall, with a tier steps. Singular central tower like shrine building. the tiers lead to a enormous open stone cut gate with secondary under ground interior section, lava dwemer tubes, etc...
I wish it was easy to make a complete overhaul mod or atleast user friendly. ive never made a mod before but city layout seems simple
I really missed these videos!!
It's crazy how they made an ancient dwarven city still populated by modern day people the most boring city in Skyrim. I always used to hate it because it felt like Skyrim gave you 4 unique cities, and one that was just a ton of repurposed dungeon assets. though lowkey, I've really come around to Markarth in recent years mosty thanks to mods.
Not using the entrance overhaul? Even has a patch to make it work with the outskirts mod.
