eh can't feel the need to play oblivion theres too much killing even as a good character

[Whit3]

Could someone experienced with the Creation Kit please help me? I'm trying to create new unique custom guards to the Riverwood (who just hang around and do stuff) but there's the problem that they only observe the enemies instead of attacking. I've set their factions to TownRiverwoodFaction, PlayerFaction, CrimeFactionWhiterun, RiverwoodPatrolFaction and PotentialFollowerFaction and have put their relationships with the people of Riverwood and player to Ally. I've also set the AI Attributes to Aggressive, Foolhardy and Helps Friends and Allies.

I've figured that this has probably something to do with AI Packages. I've been using different DefaultSandboxPackages and tried many other ones but it hasn't helped. So, what do I have to do so that the new npc's will attack enemies like bandits and dragons on sight? This is much more complicated than with the G.E.C.K.

Edit: Fixed the problem, the AI Packages were conflicting. I created custom ones for every one of them and it worked.

I didn't mean unlimited conjurations, I meant a mod that remove the stupid time limit.

Still, the unlimited one will be useful.

Master Conjuration spells spoilers below:

   There is a vanilla way to get it:
1. Level up conjuration to 90 (one quick way is to soul trap dead bodies).
2. Go to the conjuration trainer at the college and ask how to become better at it.
3. Kill a Dremora three times.
4. Get a spell tom for a permanent (until it dies) flame atronach.
5. You can now go buy the rest of the atronaches as well as get a dead thrall spell

Bestow upon me ideas for my dungeon, such as a theme. (Eg. Bandit Fort)

Might be late or something but I have found out that clearing unused save's reduces the crash-chance.

No doubt I had like 5 gigs worth of saves.

Strangely, since last crash combo I started saving my game every 5 minutes and haven't got a single crash since about 2 weeks.

This is going to sound dumb but how do you clear your saves?

Also does the Battlemage robe mod break the immersion or does it look lore-friendly? I dislike the normal mage robes.

Disable your mods, load up the save, save someone where your mods have zero affect, done.

If you're just updating a mod, all you have to disable is the mod you're updating not all of them.

I was looking through the recently updated mods on nexus and I ran into this.

On the bright side I found a mod that makes wards behave more like shields.

I tried the bat and doing it manually, all it does is create a guy in iron armor with a bunch of what looks like starter shit, who is in the greybeards faction (because I can't talk to him but he makes the air shaking greybeard sound) and if I kill him he's in the College of Winterhold (rejoing the college quest starts)

Ekalektik_1 posted:

What race is your character? That might have something to do with it. I tried cloning my character who is a female Argonian and I couldn't get her to follow me either.

Yeah guys, I fucked up p. bad.

So, new tutorial in how to create a new clone of your character (use this tutorial, last one is buggy and outdated)

Tutorial: Clone Companion

As I said on the last tutorial, your clone character WILL have everything you have, including spells, THE FACTIONS YOU JOINED (which means, if you kill your clone, and became, let's say, a Mage in the College, the quest you do if you kill a member will appear, since both of 'you' are in the College) AND SHOUTS. Better, s/he can USE IT against other enemies. AWESOME!

Now I shred some light on the commands:

Commands you need to do:

Step 1: Open the console and type this:

player.placeleveledactoratme 7

Adds a leveled up (up to you) character in front of you, '7' is the BaseID for the character, in this case this number means the main character.

Now a new character that looks like you will appear (even calling you names, what a dick right?), open the console again and to the following:

Step 2: Select your clone, something like the image below will appear.



This is refID of your clone, now type this:

addfac 5c84d 1

Adds the clonechar to faction PotentialFollowerFaction in which 'Gives the NPC all necessary dialogue to be selected as a new follower.' - UESP.net

Then type this:

addfac 5a1a4 1

Adds the clonechar to faction Player Ally Faction which 'Will turn the selected NPC into a friendly character.' - UESP.net

Now we need to actually make it recrutable.

Step 3: Type the following:

setrelationshiprank ff000cd8 3

'Changes the relationship between two actors', numbers and its values
-4 archnemesis, -3 enemy, -2 foe, -1 rival, 0 acquaintance, 1 friend, 2 confidant, 3 ally, 4 lover

And you're a coward now! Well, not actually you, but your clone will be, so let's change the disposition.

setAV confidence 2

Willingness to fight.
Order: 0 cowardly, 1 cautious, 2 average, 3 brave, 4 foolhardy

In this case, use 2 or above, 4 is the best number (facing dargons allday erryday). Then type this.

resetai

Reset an NPC's AI. (duh) Officialize the change above.

Step 4: Recruit yourself.

Other useful shit:

Morality

setAV morality 0

This little command will make your clone not say 'No' if you desire to steal something.

Inventory micromanagement

removeallitems

then select yourself (as in, your character, not the clone) and then

duplicateallitems refID

S/he will now have everything you have, including more gold, repeat for maximum profit!

NOTE: You can only have ONE clone follower at any time, so if the game spawns more followers, use 'disable' on them.
NOTE 2: Your clone is NOT essential, which means you can kill yourself, and use as a thrall for 60 seconds with that spell. (However, the 'semi-essential' flag that all followers have kicks in, so your clone can take some damage before going down)
NOTE 3: Your clone CAN NOT BE DISMISSED, so it WILL keep following you to end of the world Skyrim and beyond, if you wish to get rid of your clone, use 'disable' on it.

I hope this helps those folks with problems on this.

Skyrim has started randomly closing with no warning.

I've read up and it appears to be a RAM issue, and even though Skyrim now uses 4GB of RAM, which I have, I run a 32bit OS.

Is there any way I can fix this?

Anyone?

Is there anyone here that runs a 32bit OS without crashes?

[LtKyle2]

Is there a console command to remove temporary active effects?

[LegndNikko]

I decided to just do some simple screwing around in the game...
I did player.setscale 10, so I'm 10 times bigger, thus moving 10 times as fast, then TIM so I don't die from fall damage.

...I was going faster than the game could load the map. The game eventually crashed.

Your system can't use all 4GB of that RAM unless you're running a 64 bit OS.

So go find a 64 bit Win7 disc and put your OS key into it.

I realize that.
What I'm asking is, is the fact that I can't use all 4GB the cause of my constant crashing?

Probably, when I upgraded to Win7 64bit and got another 4GB of RAM Skyrim got a lot more stable.

So I can't find the War/Warzone mods on Steam Workshop, how come?

Shame, I was going to go balls to the wall and install a tonne of stuff for a laugh.

[LtKyle2]

oh god.

I was doing the Missing in Action for the Gray-Manes but ever since I lockpicked into the house and killed the Battle-born guy inside the home everyone in Whiterun has been coming after me, that is until I yielded. However these were guards only.

When I walked into Dragonsreach, literally everyone came at me sword and spells readied, there was arrows, firebolts, sparks flying at me and I moonwalked the hell out of there and hauled ass. D:

He uses the weapons I give him though.

ALL OF THEM.

Even the essential ones. I tried a few in the past but they weren't completely accurate and a ton of people were unkillable.

I always thought that by 'dungeons are the same' they meant the woeful lack of mob variation. In most dungeons in Oblivion, you could fight several types of enemy, with several ways to get around them. Now, you get either bandits or draugr, with a slim chance of wildlife or vampires.

To me, the biggest contributor to the dungions feeling the same is that literally every single one, from Dwemeer to Drauger to Cave to Fort is designed with the same linear formula in mind. Sure the actual art and level design is much more creative/varied this time around, but the overall design of the dungions from a gameplay perspective is basically exactly the same. Every dungion will be a 15-20 minute romp involving spawning predictable enemies (because you will ALWAYS get Drauger in nordic ruins, bandits in forts, etc), it will always involve going down linear paths until you conveiently always reach the end of the dungion where there will always be a big chest and a slightly harder enemy.

When you are done, you always go through the little shortcut that takes you back to the start. Even a fucking bear den I ran into once followed this design exactly, even though it only took a minute to get to the other end.

That's a good dungion design, but when literally EVERY fucking dungion follows that formula, and when there's no real gameplay differences to going into a fort vs. a nordic ruin vs a dwemer ruin, that's what contributes massively to the feeling that all dungions play the same. Because they do!

Compaire this to Morrowind. It didn't exactly have the greatest dungion design a lot of the time or anything, but each dungion you went into played, felt, and looked totally unique. A slaver cave was completely different to a Sixth House cave which was completely different in gameplay/style to an ancestral tomb, which was completely different to how the Daedric Ruins played/looked.

All they did with Skyrim from Oblivion's cookie-cutter dungions was diversify the artwork, pretty much. Because they used almost the exact same formula for every single dungion. There were a few (awesome) differences mind you, and these different dungions REALLY stand out, but still.

You still admitted to committing a crime.

That's like saying you kidnapped some kid but returned them so it's all fine and dandy.












I'm kidding

[CodeMonkey3]

I had it for the Xbox but I literally gave it to my Sister because it was just so fustrating not being able to kill 70% of the NPC's

Something was wrong with my computer so I had to leave it at her house and her boy friend fixed it for me and put Skyrim on it for me so I could download mods.

I didn't know steam was vital to run it? I thought it was just standalone.

Don't BS. You pirated it.

To be fair if you install SKSE Skyrim doesn't need steam to launch.
The guy could have copied the game files from the steam folder onto his computer and never needed steam on the new install

Actually I don't think that would work, the game wouldn't start.
