The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Five Mods we are really looking forward to

DSOGaming writes: "Skyrim has just been released and there are already some mods in the works. We took a good look at most of them and here are the five most anticipated ones that could be released in the following days. Before jumping to early conclusions, these mods are quite easy to be implemented and do not require a lot of work. Of course we’d love to see an AI overhaul but let’s face it; a mod like that is really ambitious and will most probably won’t be completed anytime soon. So, instead of listing the mods that are likely to see the light of day, here are five that are essential to every PC gamer."

PS3 version should be getting Mods too.

Killed by first Dragon, and then Troll last night.

Only to die to a Sabertooth Tiger looking thing.

No. Bethesda said they're "looking into" supporting mods on both 360 and PS3. They said it wouldn't be available at launch, but it's something that might happen later on down the road.

For me, this game is almost unplayable due to the ridiculous framrate drops in key locations. In the open world, I average 40-60 FPS on max settings. I enter Whiterun, and drop to 20-35. It's incredibly distracting and lowering the settings doesn't help at all, so no it's not my hardware.

I wish I could just play this game because everything else about it is amazing, but I can't get over this flaw.

@MajorJackHoff

Did you disable v-sync? I had the same problem with my rig (GTX 285) and on my laptop (GTX560M) and disabling v-sync fixed my framerate issues.

STONEY45305d ago (Edited 5305d ago )

V-sync is weird in this game. Disable it, you'll get a huge performance boost and mouse response, yet there's no screen tearing at all. Google the needed .ini changes. And disable mouse smoothing.

One more thing: I haven't gotten home to test myself, but I read disabling Gamepad support or something in the in-game settings fixed framerate and mouse response for a lot of people.

Btw I have a GTX 560 Ti, and an i5 2500k, running it maxed 1080p 2xAA 16xAF along with tree and land self-shadowing (.ini change) at 45-60fps. Mostly 60.

Whats with the disagrees. I did say that as if it WERE happening, I said it as if I would LIKE to see it happen.

Also, that should read MY first dragon, not BY. One little typo and it totally gives it the opposite meaning.

xPhearR3dx5306d ago

I didn't disagree with you, but you didn't say it like you would LIKE to see it happen. You said:

"PS3 version should be getting Mods too."

As in, at one point, the PS3 version should be getingt mods as well. There is no should be at this point, it's all up in the air.

slayorofgods5306d ago

Glad you are enjoying the game.

But I don't think you are understanding modding, if it somehow does happen on the PS3 it will be so watered down and really miss the point of what p.c.'s can do that consoles can't, period.

I know the game still rocks on a ps3, but modding isn't for consoles, let it go.

Heartnet5305d ago

Should have mentioned 360 aswell.. cant be having that biased talk around these parts !

The textures in the main cities really need an overhaul, out and about everything looks fine but inside the towns where you are up close to a lot of the really really low res textures, it just looks bad.

john25306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

Texture Packs will definitely come. Question is how much vRam will they require

Brownghost5306d ago

gonna mod the hell out of this game just like oblivion

they can't get a 14 year old game to run smoothly?

jjb1981164d ago

That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
