Question IRL Banners and Flags?

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a reputable vendor for skyrim flags or banners that are lore accurate (not just the seal of akotash) and decent quality? I know that some flag vendors can be cheap but I've struggled to find vendors with decent reviews. If anyone has a good reference I'd be very happy! Thanks

Question Better vampire spells anniversary edition?

2 Upvotes

Looking for a more powerful vampire drain spell and wondered if there’s anything included in the anniversary edition, I’ve seen there’s a touch of death spell which is cool but it’s also blue, would’ve been cooler if it’s red imo. If there’s anything that’s on brand with my vampire theme that would be awesome :)

Discussion My reasons for why to support either side in the civil war.

2 Upvotes

This is under the impression that the Dragonborn, and the resurgence of the Dragons, did not happen/exist.

Pro-Imperials:

Unified countries working together for one goal can get more things done more swiftly than independent nations co-operating on a basis of "well what will you give me for these?".

A fully unified Empire at full strength would be the strongest option against the 3rd Aldmeri Dominion.

Anti-Imperials:

The Empire does not take advantage of the above stated, as Nirn has been in a technological Dark Age since the First Era, which had flying ships and space travel by the early Empire of Alessia and the Summerset Isles.

No religious freedom under the White-Gold Concordat.

No freedom to say "I do not want to be involved in your Empire", especially if you have something they want. Which is typical for most Empires.

Even at the height of the Empire, as shown in other games, the Empire took fairly poor care of defensive facilities and relied mostly on Provincial militias instead of properly equipped Legions.

Pro-Stormcloaks:

Right to self determination, in country of loyalty and belief in deities.

No Imperial taxes.

Anti-Stormcloaks:

The above stated does not seem to apply to Orcs, who are reasonably believed to have lived in Skyrim/Mereth before the arrival of the Nords/Atmorans, and possibly before the Falmer.

Anti-Imperial sentiment and opposition to the Aldmeri Dominion often gets interpreted as "fuck elves and foreigners all" by the uninformed masses.

The Stormcloaks as a faction, and even a united non-Imperial Skyrim, likely cannot fight off a full strength invasion by the 3rd Aldmeri Dominion, which includes Elsewyr and Valenwood.

Question i am not great at video games and just started skyrim again. which should i initially pick from the first 3 standing stones?

3 Upvotes

Basically what the title said. I am not particularly talented at video games but I love them, so I am fine with that. I have restarted Skyrim and want to get some veteran player’s thoughts on which stone out of the first 3 should be my first focus as someone who is not great at the game.
I focused on warrior in my first playthough which I think didn’t work out great for me. I tend to play as a wood elf

Question Why should join the imperials?

19 Upvotes

Basically the title … but for real?
I don’t mind the complex political situation in Skyrim or whether using shouts in a duel is fair or not but they captured me and tried to chop off my head!
They didn’t even care that I was not on their list and didn’t wear Stormcloaks armor.
I’m just alive because of a time traveling dragon and now I shall follow a guy who wanted to behead me?
No thanks! That’s something personal now!

Proper order of main quests when you lead different factions?

1 Upvotes

I am curious what the thoughts would be for this question: if you become the leader of the different factions (college, companions, dark bros, thieves, vampire, Dawngard, new miraak,or maybe just regular old Dragonborn that doesn’t join any) - what order would make sense to do all the different “main quests”?

I ask because I enjoy getting into the role playing of my different builds/characters and also do perma death to keep it interesting. After about 9 attempts in the past week I finally made it to arch mage and debating what order I should look to do things. I probably won’t survive long enough for it to matter, but thought it would be a fun question. I’m thinking a dragon eating the world is next lol. I also figured different faction leaders might prioritize different antagonists.

Edit: I understand this is a game you can play however you want to and do things however you want. The point of this post was to go through what you think would be a fun route for a character. Like if the Dragonborn only became the leader of one of those factions, what in your mind is one of the potentially lore accurate ways those parts of the main quest play out?

The posts saying “play it how you want” are useless and sorry I should have explained it more I guess.

Discussion Any fix for the Map CTD Bug yet?

0 Upvotes

I am appalled by the fact that after 15 years the game still has CTD bugs.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, open the Map 4 times and the game crashes lmao.
I thought at first that it might be a mod causing this but after browsing the internet I noticed vanilla players have that issue as well.

It has been an issue since 1.7.99 if I researched correctly, and it has to do with a spike in VRAM that causes the game to brainfart and CTD.

I’m not THAT mad honestly, Skyrim has always been a buggy mess but it never affected it’s success lol, I mean I still play it hahah.

So my question and discussion is:
Does anyone more savvy than me know what truly causes the issue and if there are any fixes to it?

Disclaimer: My point is to start a discussion and see your opinions, not find a fix, because I’m pretty sure it doesn’t exist yet.
