I'm the author of Cyan's Class Mod. I appreciate the coverage. Your explanation of the core of what the mod does and is designed to do was pretty much on point with the design philosophy behind it. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you may just be responsible for the huge surge in unique downloads for the mod not long ago. Cheers, mate. I may or may not release a few more classes when I decide to start modding Skyrim again. Shhh. Don't tell anyone...
@@darkdog42 i used to do that too often lol then i settled down and finally painstakingly got a modlist im happy with, but ill still watch every mod video i see and check nexus regularly for smaller mods to add, honestly feels good to actaully sit down and just play skyrim you realise how fun it is and why you started modding in the first place
For those on the fence with Sentinel, you have the option to pick and choose what armors you want in the game. For example I want to use the stand-alone version of Sons of Skyrim and I don’t want the Orcish variants, thankfully I can decide that I don’t want to use it. You can also fairly easily disable the distribution of some items, so they don’t spawn on NPCs. I personally disabled the Rogue armor spawning on Aela since I think the Ancient Nord is cooler. The only issue is that it’s Constructible format has some issues with other mods, such as placing the something like the River Watch set from Pul in the Altmer tab.
I literally just finished tweaking my mod list this morning. Should I watch this and risk getting a new mod that would break the game once again? Yes, absolutely.
The double edged perk system is exactly what the more overpowered perk overhauls like Ordinator need in order to balance out all the insane god like abilities you can attain. Also much slower leveling and perhaps even needing more than just one perk point to unlock the higher level perks. Lastly having to specialize so that if you're a warrior you'll suffer huge debuffs if you also decide to speck into the mage skill trees and vice versa.
i balance out ordinator by having multiple AI mods making em more difficult to fight. cause i love the flexibility of ordinator. but the double edge one really looks fun
@@GoalOrientedLifting I totally understand where you're coming from and trust me I mod my Skyrim to essentially be a ultra hardcore survival sim where every facet of the game is brutally unforgiving and furthermore there are no second chances due to using permadeath. Yet even still I find ordinator to be very unbalanced and more so catered to power gamers which of course is a completely legitimate way to play the game but simply doesn't mesh with my own play style.
Master of One seems really interesting but if I understand well, every point invested in a perk aggravates the drawback. I would have prefered to have a big penalty at first and saw them reduce as more points are invested in the perk. That's said you're right, I've never heard of that one XD
kinda same, or at least a much more dramatic increase in the benefit compared to the drawback. Quite literally my only complaint about the mod and something I would love to see someone patch
This video is great. Many mods that flew under my radar. I loved Master of One so much I dropped a comment on the mod page with your name on how I came across it. Thanks SoftGaming.
Equipment integration/blending is something Morrowind modders have been embracing for a long time and I love it. The perk overhaul is brilliant and a long time coming imo-thank you for bringing it to my attention! I wonder if there is an option for integrating that with popular perk overhauls-if not I think this is the perfect Vanilla+ one for me!! Kia Kaha SoftGaming! 👍👍
Master of one and tjhm4's other overhauls are great. Much more suited for roleplay and crafting a balanced build. Also comes with the side effect of having to build a balanced group of followers. These mods are much more fun than the classic power fantasy do everything at once overhauls
I use Ars Metallica for my game ever since I found it when I started playing Skyrim on the Xbox. I just wish the author would update it so the added Ancient Nordic weapons could be smeltable. It's a little unbalanced when it comes to XP gains from smelting when used with Windstad Mine mod, but you can always Legendary it and progress back to 100 Smithing by character level 50 if you take as many smeltable weapons and armors for the quick gains.
i wish i could add every mod that this guy's game contains without having to click 1000 links and watching 100 videos with 1 single link that starts download everything
E.S.L.A. - Elder Scrolls Leveling and Attributes is a tragically underrated mod that hardly anyone talks about. Not everyone's thing, mind you, but it makes Skyrim feel more like an actual Elder Scrolls game.
If only I had the mental fortitude to use hours fixing my load order and other conflicts so I can play modded Skyrim... It's such a daunting task when compared to modding any other game.
Awesome video! I think your videos contain the most unique mods ever! My most underrated mod is "Outfitting Skyrim". It allows you to distribute modded armors to factions and NPC types.
At 12:04 your the Gildergreen looks like it is a tree in need of TLC. May I ask what mod is that? I looked on your mod list but there is no the Gildergreen mod. Thank you.
I notice that in a lot of your videos you have tons of really cool parallax/tessellation on your textures. How do you go about that other than the ENB parallax options? I use the 2020 downscale texture pack with their parallaxes and it doesn’t really give parallax to much stuff.
Hello Soft! I love your videos! I recently got back into Skyrim SE and I noticed that I'm averaging around 60-70C on my GPU while playing is that normal in SSE or?
What mod slightly slows down the NPC attack animation during the "holmgang" presentation ? I use ADXP-MCO and Valhalla combat but it doesn't seem I can activate such option
I really wish you would have a very easy to install Modpack available for little to none modding experienced. Keep up the good work good sir, you earned yourself a subscriber and I'd be sure to spread the word out there for my friends to do the same. :D
As much as I appreciate the mods I truly believe they're the reason we won't actually see "TES: VI" until the next century. Why would Bethesda release a new game when their 13-year-old juggernaut is still selling well and new mods are made daily? I mean, we saw the teaser trailer of "Hammerfell" (or whatever the final title will be) a whopping SIX YEARS AGO! It wasn't that long ago that sequels to games were released every few years. By now we should be looking forward to "TES: IX" coming out for the Christmas season.
Thre are plenty of enhancing mods to install, but we should also consider the mod limit. I was temped to install that Ivarstad mod as one example and if it added some gameplay and not only a fancy layout, I would have installed it. I do think many players thing the same when they choose which mos to install? Do I need really need this one? Another thing is that so many mod authors makes mods that could have been esl flagged, one exampel is a spell mod with 3 spells as an esp??? Why?? Well for such mods I load CK and save them as esl... If there was not limitations of the number of mods... I would have installed many many more but then we also have the size of the savegames to think about. Just look at Fallout 4 that really is sensitive of the size of the save game, which will end up in a broken game. In my experience, Skyrim is more stable than F4.
Pretty sure it's "Comprehensive First Person Animation Overhaul" overhauls pretty much all first person animations. not 100% as the ones in the video seem a bit more exaggerated.
Can someone tell me which mod give the spell casts the circle animation in his hands? I've seen that mod many times but I haven't found what it's called.
Put years in Skyrim.. with moding and so many file fixing/scripts. You pretty much have to put days, not hrs but days to get your game to look like this. So many dl for getting the mods to be compatible and load orders. Would love to get back into it but knowing these things puts me at a no time limit. On top of that you have to have a high end PC to get steady FPS. With any ENB your FPS will drop 50% no matter what you ini changes and thousands of vids you watch to get more FPS. What's so good about skyrim is it's community. But with each video you see like this with great graphics enhancer you will have to have a high end PC even seeing that this game is a much older game these games/files take a huge impact on game play.
Is it a joke that in every fight you use the most inefficient way of dealing damage? Spriggan with arrows, d. sphere with fire, skeletons with electricity. It's just painful to watch.
😮i have a unrated mod for u called. Morbus immortui revenancy. Mod creater hads been no showed no lo no love and no one shown videos out about his mods please pu it in your next video and thank u
I love your videos, but your melee gameplay looks just ridiculous, with you dodging around, just breaking the flow of battle. Skyrim, or your game specifically, is not set up for you dodging, just stand there and block lol. Dodging makes sense in games like Soulsbournes or other similar action games, or in Skyrim if it is set up to match the combat of those games, but not your game.

What's the armor mod you're using in the beginning of the video?
E.S.L.A. - Elder Scrolls Leveling and Attributes is a tragically underrated mod that hardly anyone talks about. Not everyone's thing, mind you, but it makes Skyrim feel more like an actual Elder Scrolls game.
There are 2 under rated mods that are in oldrim that can be converted to special edition deadly dragon spells and deadly dragon armors
Oh Skyrims Dead is just what I needed, the world is too bright while there's a constant war between different factions 😭this adds a lot
Just getting into modding Skyrim and I'll be installing that smithing XP mod. No more crafting 9000 iron daggers!
Found one called Community Loot Integration today. It's so good.
What exactly does that one do? The description seems really vague on the Nexus.
If only I had the mental fortitude to use hours fixing my load order and other conflicts so I can play modded Skyrim... It's such a daunting task when compared to modding any other game.

What heavy armor do you use?

Hey, SG, what animations are you using for the one-handed axes? I really like the way they look. Great vid!-love these hidden gem types of showcases.
Sentinel looks really good.
Hey can I ask what ragdoll mod you use at 13:48?
Awesome vid. If you dont mind me asking whats the walking/running animation mod you have??
Any chance you can tell me the dodge mod? Mine is a little over dramatic and I really like what you've got here
great list
What Whiterun mod are you using? This is one of the best I've seen.
that axe animation on the attack looks awesome! anybody know the name of it?
I like this spiderweb mod so, kudos
Ok so far I want to know that first person mod art/animation at the beginning.
what is the animation at 4:42 and thanks for the video
I notice that in a lot of your videos you have tons of really cool parallax/tessellation on your textures. How do you go about that other than the ENB parallax options? I use the 2020 downscale texture pack with their parallaxes and it doesn’t really give parallax to much stuff.
Its the complex parallax effect that comes with ENB, but you need compatible meshes/textures for it to look and work properly
