Had to look that up. Yes, it sure has a similar feel!

I guess Skyrim would be the perfect contrast then!

There is a mod to add it back in, at least on PC, Wintersand Manor. Playing with it currently!

Once Hod and Gerdur invited me to their house and he seemed like a very open and friendly guy. But when I entered their house he immediately told me “You need to leave” repeatedly. That felt kind of creepy and manipulative and I haven’t trusted him since.

I agree, what I come back for is definitely the presentation of the world, the scenery and just exploring Skyrim.

Yes, no changelog, but this time they instead posted an “article” about the update on the Nexus!

I agree. The music, colors, skies and nature sounds all come together beautifully.

There are actually a few enhanced vanilla type texture packs for PC - Vanilla Remastered that I am currently using but also Project Clarity and Skyrim Realistic Overhaul for example.

For perks I’m just using Full Magic Scaling this time. But I think you mean Adamant and I’m pretty sure it is still available for PC!

I need to check it out!

Very nice! Is that Happy Little Trees? I used simply bigger trees on my last playthrough, this time I felt like playing with the vanilla scenery.

Yes the visuals are very close to vanilla, it is not visible in the picture but this is actually with upscaled vanilla textures - the mod’s name is Vanilla Remastered. All in all I’m running some 200 mods - bug fixes, mesh fixes, some environmental mods like more birds, water lilies etc and some gameplay and qol tweaks but still meant to feel mostly like vanilla also in gameplay.

Yup! Imperial, heavy armor, 1H weapons, currently trying to focus on enchantment but getting distracted by restoration…

Wow, they look fantastic!

Skyrim again
