But they're not online. They may not even be playing female.

So you don't like Skyrim?

I have not played it. I am still enjoying Oblivion, and besides, I am still boycotting Steam. I assume that Steam is still required to play Skyrim?

Yep. Enjoy not using Steam.

Also, I don't like Maytag dishwashers.

Not so much enjoying it, just that I still have problems with my Steam account and all the Steam help desk can do is tell me that my problem can't happen and that all I need to do reinstall the game.

Really Steam? Wow, I never would have thought about that. Guess what, it does not work.. hence what I call "a problem".

Which according to Steam, simply can't happen.

Glad others are happy with Steam. I only hope that before long, there is another company to replace Steam (I am resigned to the fact that in the future all single player games will require internet accounts. ) but will do it better and with better customer service.

Or perhaps soon they will release a patch that allows people to play Skyrim without a Steam account. That would be nice.

Skyrim sounds like a very nice game. Would like to play it, but can't take the risk of paying for another game that Steam won't allow me to play.

I've had nothing but great experience with Steam. 10/10 would recommend to friends, etc.

I stumbled over a new home, which I very much like as well: Sutvaka Estate. It is a Windhelm-style stronghold on a mountain top halfway between Whiterun and Windhelm, slightly south of the tavern that in the English game I think is called Nightingale Inn (yes?!). Additionally to the description here I want to add that not only you can bring in your followers, but that there is a garrison of 6 knights following your orders as well, plus 2 maidens. The whole place is quite atmospheric, lies in an interesting location, and gives quite a protected feeling.

Using a light and weather mod (45 mods all in all currently) and many followers that I have stationed in my various homes and bases, I still get amazed by the combination of landscape sights, light and situational mood. This game, after two years, still has not left any of it's breathtaking beauty. Only The Hunter can compete in that regard.

Time for a new "I think I found my new home!" thread, eh?
Very beautiful. I like the personal Knights garrison...

Too bad I unsinstalled Skyrim 3 days ago

Who said I cant settle an argument?



They are guards from the LC_CastleInvasion mod. Nice mod if you want to celebrate the occasional really big bloodbath. With clever hide-and-strike, magic, shouts, and high ratings in archery, armour etc, it is a nice challenge to storm that castle all alone. But it is also fun to have a biog field battle with five or six tough followers (the guards count by the several dozens, and they are no useless sandbags). Big loot to claim.

Sutvaka.



It'S follower-friendly and wife and husband can be made to stay there too via the mark-new-home-mod, but followers will refuse to wear dedicated "home" clothing if you have set that option for them via a mod (AFT that I use allows three clothing sets for outside, city, and home).

The castle has one building for the troops which all take your commands (6 guards), a prison, a watchtower, a huge player'S house, and a hidden basement with very huge secret chambers with treasury, smithing room, study room, "royalty hall" (as I call it), and a secret escape tunnel (where a smuggler lives who trades with you).

The place is isolated, gemütlich, and makes you feel very very well protected. Plenty of storage space. I have on one opportunity put six followers plus the 2 house staffs plus the 6 guards in there. It was like my own private village.

[Feuer Frei!]

I don't think anyone will argue with you anymore Skybird

Wishful thinking in the GT Section though.

The ragdoll physics look unacceptable.

Are you aware that there are fixes\mods in place for that?

--This is actually a big overhaul. The vampire lord form is very cool, but the rest of being a vampire is actually pretty 'meh'. The great thing about it is that you can customize it to your tastes. Don't like how you for some reason get stronger as you starve yourself? It lets you reverse that. Want to take damage in the sun? You can make that happen. Want to make it so healing spells, potions and food won't heal you (after all, you are not living)? You got it. Want to be able to feed on that stupid thug that tried to hold you up on the road? You can do it, just don't let the body get too cold. Want to travel the lands of Skyrim by turning yourself into an insubstantial cloud of mist like Dracula? Oh yeah, you can do that. You can mix and match all of that and more, or you can disable it all. Up to you, but your nightwalker experience will be much less lame.

I was actually curious about this mod and have a question. I have more than one character I play on Skyrim. One of them is already a vampire, but the others are not, and nor are they every likely to be. If I download this mod will they all immediately become vampires, or not?

Thanks!

I have a friend that was playing Skyrim without problems for over a year, then it messed up. Steam told her "it can't happen" and in the end they were right, it had nothing to do with Steam. What happened was that an auto Microsoft update messed everything up.

Also, depending on your security, a security update could also cause problems. Steam isn't responsible, or even know, what may be going on with your system configuration. I have had no problems at all with Steam.
