      @@stuppittyhed modders have no obligation to make mods or publish them. Historically they did it, because of a passion for their respective games. If they can't do it without monetary compensation, I won't begrudge them for not taking the time and effort to create and/or maintain them, but I won't pay upfront for something. Maybe if there is an option to donate, but no other way.
      People aren't entitled to mods (and by extension the work of the modder), but the modders aren't entitled to money either.
      If modders are demanding money for their mods they have at least to be polished very, very well and the examples in the video for the most part don't have it.

    The funny thing about the dungeon mods is that they're named after dungeons in ESO.
    Stonegarden was a dungeon filled with crazy alchemists that wanted to revive/empower members of the Gray March, a group of Vampires and Werewolves that was threatening Skyrim.
    Frostvault was an expedition into a Dwemer ruin that housed a fragment of the Wraithstone that was like a key to opening up a ruin in Elsweyr that kept Dragons locked within it. The actual dungeon was filled with Goblins that had made the ruins their home and your standard Dwemer automatons.
    Sad they didn't add Castle Thorn or Direfrost Keep which are other dungeons from ESO located in Skyrim

    In Winterfrost, the knock-off artifacts and display of artifacts are probably inspired by the Dragonborn Gallery from Legacy of the Dragonborn.
    That mod adds a museum to Solitude, as well as many artifacts in the world, that can be placed on display.
    If you want to use those items in the world while leaving them on display, you need to craft replicas that you can put in the museum.

Ability to pay for it to have staff. Teleport spell to take you back there from anywhere. Hidden fancy loot and not so hidden stuff.

    I'm glad to see one of these videos finally gave the Arquebus mod the credit that it's due. It's definitely a bit overpriced, but the contents of the mod are honestly genuinely good. Plus the arquebus itself is a lot more grounded in Skyrim compared to most other "lore-friendly" firearms mods that either don't quite make sense in terms of design, have way too many nonsensical features and variants, or are just still outright overpowered despite anything trying to convince you otherwise.
    If any of these mods are at least close to deserving of your money, it's the Arquebus.

    I used to be against creation club but after the combined efforts of Bethesda constantly updating the game and Nexus changing their rules we now have a very broken modding community. We have mod authors that removed their mods, mod authors that just straight quit modding, some putting their mods behind patreon for the foreseeable future, mods that demand using an older version of Skyrim only and some mod authors have actually died.

There are drop box locations you can set to be outside of Inns, player homes and carriages that will transport any items inside to the main player home/museum. 3+ new player homes with different and unique crafting stations. Essentially the Largest Trophy room ever made, it's literally a huge museum with cool displays for everything you find and an auto sorter to place everything. There are many new dungeons added that range from simple to "Thank God for the Wiki". Yea legacy has its own wiki. There are also quite a few potential followers added aswell as support for follower mods like Inigo and many other quest/Item mods. Best mod I've ever used I won't ever play skyrim again without it.

    I think I like that dungeons are complicated and have dead ends, a lot of people over the years have complained about the simplicity of skyrim dungeons, and I think two dungeons that force you to explore and even have things that are basically nothing is a cool thing to make you feel more like an explorer. After playing bruma, and experiencing the dungeons that the mod authors made with different paths to the same location and dead ends, I’d say it did add to my experience overall.

    • @dragonlordx20

      Fair enough, it's something I have liked in other dungeons too, I think in this case I found it more frustrating because you are forced to go over the exact same area repeatedly a few times as part of the main quest and it feels like an attempt to just inflate play time like when you are sent to activate 2 sets of buttons for actually no reason, outside of that the dungeons do have a lot of interesting designs and cool stuff to find when exploring

    Skyrim is going to have an absolute villain arc in gaming history.
    It started as a game that was (perceived as) groundbreaking when it came out. A few years after release, I remember seeing discussions about “oh this’ll be one of the classic games children will study in school.”
    Now it’s a bloody Lich. It’s been resurrected from the dead multiple times, each time more vile and unwanted than the last. It took the strongest positive force in gaming; mods, and somehow managed to corrupt and twist them into its evil legacy. It even managed to get its assets reused into Fallout 76, so it has a corrupting influence on other games.
    It went from “Hero of the early 2010s” to “unholy abomination that won’t stay dead” in a decade.

    Some of the paid mods are broken likely to conflicts with other mods. You can sometimes work around them to complete but only those like me that observe the quests behavior through interaction. Are paid mods worth it? No! I have used many mods in the past that surpass paid mods in creativity, fluid play with no bugs, entertainment value and replay value. I think Bethesda is angry they are not making the money they so crave off new titles because Skyrim and Fallout 4 continue to rank high in players intrest and that adding modding was something they regret so now they are trying to monitize off mod makers who simply make them because they simply love these two older games.
    I'll be honest, I'd like to see a group of well rounded modders revamp Skyrim and Fallout 4 using Unreal Engine 5. Both games have evolved Nicely, still waiting for xbox and bethesda to upscale Fallout 4 to access.
