Skyrim

Seems kinda lame that there are apparently just dozens of dragons flying around waiting to be killed. Is there some in-game event explaining the sudden appearance of this dragon population? Are you trying to drive them into extinction?

[ulmont]

Yes. And yes.

[MadImmortalMan]

There is an explanation. Kinda spoiler-y though.

[JonasSalk]

Ah, okay. I'll wait 'til I get the game, then. I'll probably get it in another week after finals are done.

One of the things I always thought was weird was:  why can my dude only wear one ring of powah?    No, you shouldn't be able to wear 10 of them, because that would be strange, but surely two (one per hand if the player is inclined to pull the camera back and look) isn't too wild and crazy for Tamriel?

Anyway, here's a thing that gives you unlimited rings:  http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1952 

Control yourself and limit it to two if you don't want it to be all "unrealistic" in your game about dragons and magic.  Also be sure to take off any rings your character has on before activating the mod. 

Oh and there's a sorting mod out, thank god:  http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2730  I haven't tried it yet, so don't get all mad at me if it erases your boot.ini or something, but it looks like the same type of thing from Fallout, so.....good.  It works.

Given that I've only got a Radeon HD4250 IGP in here, should I bother with the PC version, or should I stick to my plan to get the Xbox version?

It depends how you do you feel about mods and not have any of them?

What does SKSE do, exactly, now that the bugs are reportedly "fixed"?

Nothing, until the CS comes out.  It will allow modders to script functions that are not in the Skyrim exe.  An example of this in Oblivion was the added ability to refer in a script to any item that was currently equipped on a specific body part (the hands, or feet, or upper body, etc).

Nah there are mods that use it now.  I just updated container categorization that requires it to function.   I think I saw one that levels your weapons and items with you too.  I'm looking for that one again.

I hadn't seen that people figured out how to use the TESCS and GECK to make .esp mods for this game.  Cool beans.

They're using something called TESSnip and editing hex values and such, I think.  I guess the GECK such are part of that/TESSnip is part of them?   I really have no idea what is going on with all that, but I'll be damned if there aren't a surprising amount of mods that do a surprising amount of shit even without the CS.
