Viktor,Listen here I loved Oblivion. Hit about 100 hours in it for one play through which for me is a long ass time. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are also both awesome games and really looking forward to a new one. That said I have no interest in playing Skyrim. Maybe it's the time commitment I know will be required but honestly I think I'm just not interested in that type of RPG. I just beat Bound by Flame, currently playing Demon Souls followed by both Dark Souls, love the Witcher games, and want to play games like Dragon's Dogma, Kingdom of Amalur, and the new Dragon's Age. But I just can't seem to care about missing out on Skyrim. It really doesn't make sense but there it is. Thanks for listening.
Then again if the super collection of it is on sale during the Steam summer sale I would probably still buy it. Lord Gaben is an a******.
lol well I guess the positive to that is I only paid $5 for it. Also, follow me into the Dark Souls thread!Viktor,
Do yourself a favor and skip Kindoms of Amalur. I beat it but I believe the other RPG's on your list are more worthy of your time in my opinion. I bought KoA at full price and regret it. Generic as hell.
If you have any questions about modding throw me a line.
Modding Fallout 3/Fallout NV/Skyrim is my forte.
Well i am trying some mods that are on the steam workshop to see how it goes, i visited the nexus site but not sure about downloading from there yet. i have tried a weather mod and mostly graphic ones like improving towns. i am not sure if they are making a difference yet though.

The mods on the Steam workshop are alright but I consider that 'modding lite' because they are usually the cut down versions of what you find on the Nexus.
What resolution are you playing at? If you are improving the textures it should be readily noticeable at 1080p and beyond.
If you really want to get into dramatic changes to the game and texture and how it looks I would really suggest making an account on the Nexus and downloading some texture packs. They have Skyrim 2K textures (Full version & Lite version for performance.)
They even have mods that just boost your performance if you need it. Climates of Tamriel is a complete weather overhaul that dramatically improves the lighting and the weather of the game. Enhanced Lighting and FX is another lighting mod that makes the game look absolutely amazing.
So my question is why are you unsure about downloading from the Nexus?
I still love it. get it a few months ago on 360 when it was super cheap for the DD version then got the expansions too. I put like over 200 hours and only done like what maybe 5 quest in the mean storyline HA. I've let it sit for like 2 months now but will go back to it for sure.
Forking great game.
NOOOOOOO!!!!
NO. NO. NO. NONONO.
Steam workshop is okay, but if you really want good, stable mods you need to use the nexus.
Here, watch this play list: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL96C073B0B8BFC01D
Follow that play list, install the mods that interest you and skip the ones that don't. By the time you're done you'll barely recognize the game. Best of all everything will work properly and your game will be stable.
ok i uninstalled the steam workshop mods i got and going to use the nexus mod manager and mods. thanks for the advice again. i am looking forward to what i can do with skyrim.
At least I'm not alone on putting hundreds of hours into a game and not really progressing.
I think I have over 200 hrs in GTA4 as well and I'm not very far into it.

Oh man, that was the reason I gave up on Skyrim. Mod management was so crap with BOSS and I always had conflicts I couldn't pin point. Might be time to dive back in.New program is called LOOT Idle.
Works just like BOSS but LOOT actually looks for incompatible esp files and will flat out tell you. It will also tell you if you need to clean your mod/s with TES5 EDIT tool.
LOOT is hands down the superior tool. It makes BOSS look amateur.

Thanks for all the information about this, i am trying to learn everything and also seeing what works and wont work on my surface pro 2 tablet. i got a few mods working so far now just a matter of checking whats available
