    Ah, gotcha

    Thanks Deebs :) So with mods, are you focussing on gameplay overhauls when planning, like Ordinator, or do you mean immersion mods? Or is it both, would you say? How much now do mods define your character? I know that sounds weird. To explain, something like armour and housing can enhance the RP for me to the point in which it is those things that can prompt me to spend the most time planning.

    Well, these days mods are everything to my character I suppose. I mean, to be entirely honest I will base characters entirely around a good 6 mods, and then still have a lot of side mods that are sort of crucial to the character. I mean, this build I'm working on (slowly) that's sort of supposed to be a Dragon Age/Baldur's Gate inspired build by taking 3 companions with me...It uses, let me think, Ordinator, Apocolypse, Aurora, Imperious, Wildcat, Amazing Follower Tweaks, about 3 Armour Mods. All of them are crucial to the build nad I'm still working on just the mod-list there, so yeah, for me explaining the mods and having them and all is hugely important, and goes from the gameplay builds to also things like Cloaks, Frostfall, Campfire, etc. 

    But then I am running things like the Pure Series with Liss where I'm using relatively few mods and none of them are overhauls.

    Has there been a time when planning while away from the game and being super hyped for a concept, only to find yourself compltely changing the concept when actually starting the playthrough? What happens to the original concept? Like, do you go back to it eventually - cut it from another direction and try and make it work?

    Happens ALL the time xD

    Usually, once I've moved away from a concept I rarely get back to it (at least on purpose). That's not because I've scrapped the idea, it's usually because I've let the playthrough take over, and I simply forget everything I was thinking about before that change in direction. The only time I'll revisit something that I've moved away from is if I really enjoyed the concept when I was playing it, but the character's RP forced me away from it (or something along those lines)--that'll leave an impression on me. Even then, it rarely happens.

    The build I'm currently toying with is like that. I really wanted to punch and spellsling in an earlier build I was working on, but it just didn't fit my character. By the time I shifted direction, I had come to enjoy the playstyle quite a bit--so I wrote it on the table of mine heart and revisited it the first chance I could ;D

    My pugilist/Chronomancer build is working out well
  • January 8, 2018

    So that's uh... Time Control and Unarmed is it Chris? I could see that working pretty well with... Remember Zach's little trick from the, The Obliterator back in the day? That might work extremely well for a build like that and would be really interesting.

    That's one build that gave me an idea on how to play it. Has that been reposted yet? I'd like to reread it
  • January 8, 2018

    Everything was pretty much transferred as far as I know, just not pictures and links so it should be around, at least the actual content. Lemme take a quick look.

    BOOM, LINK, fully pictured up but not archived, will go ahead and fix that but yeah it's up.

    So, did SSE patch the Invisible Ebony Shield glitch? Or could it be one of my mods?
  • January 9, 2018

    Hmm, just did some research and my assumption is that maybe, possibly either? With a strong possibility of it being a patch because PS4 doesn't seem to have anything that specifically fixes it, and I just can't find anything that claims to fix that particular bug.

    The only dedicated mod I could find that might have fixed it was Vampire Fixes, and it doesn't mention it. But patch notes do suggest that Bethesda has been fixing minor bugs when updating for CC, so it could be either.

    Well damn, hmm, I'll see if there's a workaround. Spriggan Shield maybe?
