I've been playing a lot of this lately. Makes me think about ESO, which I've never played. Don't recall especially great reviews about it. I'm curious if it touches on the war with the Thalmor. That could really make it worthwhile. It's a gap between Oblivion and Skyrim that I'd love to see filled. ESO is a prequel to the conventional Elder Scrolls games in the same way KOTOR is a prequel to A New Hope, and The Silmarillion is a prequel to Lord of the Rings. The war with the thalmor is centuries in the future from the ESO perspective.

The war with the thalmor is centuries in the future from the ESO perspective. Can confirm this. Skyrim takes place 200 years after the Oblivion Crisis, and is chronologically the "last" game in the series. I've also read that each Elder Scrolls game is self-contained. There's some common lore abroad, but it allows for new players to play without feeling lost. Skyrim was my first foray into TES, and I didn't feel like I missed any major plot points having never played the other four.

After playing so many buggy games it's a delight cranking open Skyrim on Series X with a pack of graphic/60FPS/immersion mods.

What mod do you use for getting 60FPS? It's called 'Uncap FPS' and it's on Bethesda.net for Xbox Series x consoles.

So I grabbed Gamepass again after Christmas, because it was a dollar and I'm not made of stone. The XBone version is in there, and to my surprise, supported mods the way Fallout 4 did. I hadn't ever been able to bring myself to start over and do a second playthrough of Skyrim (my first playthrough ended up with almost 400 hours on it.) I loved the game, it was just the idea of starting from scratch that seemed daunting. But knowing I could fiddle with mods inspired me to install it. Up flashed the giant warning: "You have mods installed! Achievements are disabled!" And the most interesting part is that I defy you - defy you - to confidently decide if that's a gif of Brian Austin Greene from the nineties or if it's a gif of Joey Essex from 2015. (Yes, that means I know who Joey Essex is, which is entirely Jimmy Carr's fault.)

For any pc gamers who wish to buy the original Steam Skyrim (non special edition) and who cannot find it due to "Notice: At the request of the publisher, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search." Here are links for the relevant Steam locations, probably more expensive as there are no Steam sales for this stuff. I already have all this stuff from years ago but there are always some people that don't (maybe console only) and look for and prefer original versions, editions.

Weird dragon behavior. First, I had a blood dragon attack before ever going to Whiterun. I got a dragon soul and was eventually able to use it to unlock one of the many shouts I learned. Funny enough, I couldn't use the shout. Eventually went to Whiterun, killed the dragon and got the shout working. On the way up the 7000 steps, I was attacked by a dragon out of nowhere. Killed it. Kept on my way. Got attacked by two dragons. I mean, wtf? I don't think it's any mod I have. Don't use any dragon-related mods.

Dragons don't spawn at that rate in the base game until you are very later in the main quest and relatively high level (technically). The dragon spawning rate is tied to the main quest advancement and none shows up until you do the quest Dragon Rising. Considering you talk about having multiple shouts learned, I take it you did a "detour" and aren't low level. Do you have a mod that change spawns rate/types of enemies? That's the only thing I can think of. Or maybe alternate start, where returning to Helgen (to start the MQ) can trigger dragon spawning before finishing Dragon Rising I believe.

That's the only thing I can think of. Or maybe alternate start, where returning to Helgen (to start the MQ) can trigger dragon spawning before finishing Dragon Rising I believe. I usually go off any do other things before visiting the Jarl of Whiterun. I actually completed the Dark Brotherhood questline before going to Whiterun. I have Populated Skyrim mods and Sanguinaire, which increases vampire and werewolf attacks. One or both of them but somehow contribute. I will say the Populated Skyrim mod is overkill to the point that you sometimes have to use a console command just to get past them. It could make sense that dragons similarly spawn at a higher rate from that mod. I don't use alternate start. I think the initial start is fine. I just ignore the main quests until I'm ready for them. At this point, I've killed Alduin. I wonder if that will decrease the dragon attacks. OTOH, I have a ton of dragon souls that allows me to unlock every shout I learn. The weird one was the blood dragon that attacked me prior to Dragon Rising. Still haven't got that figured out but it was probably some bug from a mod.

The thing that sucks for me about its launch is that it basically means I can't play with mods for some time. What with all the new content and likely changes to the base game. That's gonna throw A LOT of mods off.

A bit more shiny, all the Creation Club and 50 of my favourite mods. (on Xbox) Of course things aren't simply with mods. Having messed about with 52 mods has led to 6 restarts (between 2 and 9 levels) to get incompatibilities and issues shaken out. Think I'm there now.
