  • Welcome back, adventurers, to the third installment of my Nolvus Ascension review series! In this episode, we delve deep into the heart of Skyrim modding with an extensive modlist curated for PC players. From jaw-dropping graphics enhancements to immersive gameplay additions, I'll showing you things i added to the modlist.
    I know how crucial performance is, especially for those with beefy mod lists. That's why I included a small guide to optimizing your FPS via DLSS / FSR
    This is assuming you're using DLAA in the Nolvus installation.
    Looking to spice up your playthrough with unique builds and playstyles? Look no further! I've got a plethora of suggestions to suit every type of Dragonborn, whether you prefer stealthy assassinations, powerful magecraft, or brute force combat.
    Join me on this epic journey through the lands of Skyrim as we explore the wonders of Nolvus Ascension and beyond. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit that bell icon to stay updated with the latest mods and guides for your favorite games!
    ENB used: Cabbage
    Reshade: Custom preset I've been tweaking using Patreon exclusive shaders.
    it's really not worth it, I would recommend sticking to Nolvus reshade and making some minor adjustments should you want to change it.

      as much as i love all of this i highly doubt my old ass PC could run this, i have a GTX 1070, and the sad part is i just upgraded to this because PC parts these days are so damn expensive, i'm mostly focused on stability and FPS in my games, i can't focus too much on visuals as much as i would want, the DLSS mod might help my old hardware but i don't think it will help much.
      i can barely run FO4 vanilla, i was able to get it somewhat stable with a lot of improvement mods but it's still not up to par with what i want, Boston runs at 40 fps, but it dips down to under 20 in some circumstance's, like flying in a vertibird is something you can't focus on too much, i had to reduce every possible thing in that game.
      now supposedly the next gen update will fix these things, but i didn't trust bethesda, i knew they would release the update with some things to make it worse off, so i chose to delay the update because i don't want to stop playing my game either.
      anyway going back to skyrim, it's too bad there isn't a proper Nolvus performance build for weaker PC's like mine to run it.

    I truly always feel as though I'm being transported into a beautifully crafted world watching any of your videos! I honestly never want to leave and your amazing cinematography and storytelling skills always inspire me to get better at telling my own. I'm also trying to figure out which playstyle truly suits me best so that I can finally finish those damn playthroughs of all these games!
    I just wish I didn't get so fuckin easily distracted by another playstyle or some other idea I have and could stick to something for long enough to see it through to the end...

    Just pausing the video on the custom sword mod before I continue, because DAMN that custom varient of it is absolutely gorgeous. It would fit amazingly with a paladin of Stendarr or spellsword character, or maybe an Azura or Meridia worshipper even. I've watched the other two videos and had downloaded the Nolvus modpack a few days ago already, so this new upload is just further cementing the fact that this modpack really is something else entirely for me haha
    Either way, wonderful content, and the easily digestable informative format for these types of videos is very easy to get through, and very enjoyable at the same time.

    I just downloaded this yesterday, these videos were the final straw to have me decide!
    Also, for anyone trying to shore up their FPS with DLSS, I've found that, for 1440p, 1600 x 900 seems to be as far as you can push it without text getting blurry. The fringes of your screen can get blurry, but I've found that the places you actually look at look good.

    • @RelentlessZen
      @RelentlessZen  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've not had any issues with blurred edges on my 5120x1440p monitor. I know some people tweak their reshade when it happens tho to chop the edges off with a border

    • @calmkat9032
      @calmkat9032 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@RelentlessZenOh I was referring to 2560 by 1440, using 1600 by 900 would not nearly be enough lol.
      And the blurriness I'm referring to comes from the predictive software just not having enough information to work with. AI notoriously sucks at reproducing pictures of words.
      Also, since I played this layout more, I've found that the blurriness is rarer than I initially thought. The only time I get it anymore is for the first few seconds after a loading screen, since DLSS has all new information at that point.

    Side note: Don't install this on an external SSD. USB devices will be limited in data transfer speed, though I would imagine the products may vary. But for me, I wasn't even able to launch the game through the Nolvus dashboard.
    I installed this on a relatively old external SSD, and it took me 3-4 days to fully install (after downloading the mods). I could transfer it to my internal SSD, but I'll probably hold off until I get a better PC.
    Thanks for the video Zen! It's what got me into trying Nolvus, even if I couldn't get it to run lol. It's really cool to see what modern modded Skyrim looks like.
    Cheers.

    I have an extensive spreadsheet where I've tried pretty much all existing modlists, and I have to say that Nolvus is the clear winner. Although that doesn't mean it doesn't have its flaws, I'm not sure if they would fall within the scope of V6, but I would really love it if Vektor touched the economy and overall balance a bit. Currently, whatever build you play, things spiral out of control very easily, and you become very strong very early in the game. Alternate leveling doesn't really mesh well with some buffs that give faster skill progression, and it creates a weird dynamic early on where you level up to level 10 just by walking around. It's my personal gripe, but I think after almost 15 years of Skyrim, the power fantasy of becoming super strong and one-shotting stuff kinda got boring. I need a bit of a challenge. Nonetheless, an amazing modlist, both visually and gameplay-wise, so thank you, Vektor, and thank you, Relentless Zen, for introducing me to Nolvus.

    • @RelentlessZen
      @RelentlessZen  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah I do think the same issue is present no matter what modlist ive tried, like Wildlander for example, fantastic Requiem modlist, but you can find ways of exploiting mechanics to become level 100 in a few hours. a level of self control will always be needed in order maintain some sort of balance.
      But I'd agree Nolvus is a little too easy if you lean into some builds.
      Hardcore modes stagger definitely makes things much more dangerous though.
      overall tho I think Enchantments and alchemy break the difficulty factor in any mod list!

    • @ylyxa
      @ylyxa หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Wait, you can use the learning rate buffs with alternate leveling? How? I thought they became completely useless because of static leveling.

    • @RelentlessZen
      @RelentlessZen  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't crash unless I've done something to bloat my save, dying and reloading a save can cause issues, loading different characters without closing the game down etc.. it's the scripts that break causing issues.

      @@RelentlessZen Do you happen to have or know of a list anywhere to prevent "bloating a save?" I've quit like three different 100+ hour games of Skyrim because the save files bricked even though the modlist felt insanely stable up to that point.

    • @RelentlessZen
      @RelentlessZen  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@KingJerbear it's just bad saving habits that cause this. its not the modlist itself , any modlist using SKSE has the potential to bloat. its unavoidable.
      Don't make a new game without closing the game down first.
      Don't save during combat
      Don't use quicksaves
      Don't save to often (turn autosave off)
      Don't constantly make new saves
      Don't reload saves after dying without closing the game down
      Some of these can seem a little extreme but modlists with complex scripts can have issues. But if you want a safer cleaner game then putting things like this into practise is important
      Imagine a script running, then telling it to stop running and go back several pages of code earlier and start running again.
