I recently bought a new laptop which can run Lexy’s Legacy of the Dragonborn modpack and set it up. It took me ~2 weeks to put everything together but it works and I’m enjoying the mods! Especially the museum which helps tremendously with my desire to hoard items.
Check out Enderal if you haven’t already.
It’s a total conversion mod, but it’s in the steam store (free) as a standalone game.
Playing Enderal is the closest you’ll get to reliving your first play of Skyrim, when you didn’t know every quest, character, and draugr hole like the back of your hand.
Fair warning: combat is completely revamped, and OP builds in Skyrim like the sneaky archer will get you steamrolled in Enderal.
The museum is absolutely the best mod for Skyrim, at least for those like me that love a collecthaton. I’ll neve finish it, i know. The longest i tried was for three months straight, with Skirim vr. It was not even close to completion, but it was enjoyable all the time.
Welcome to the world of modded skyrim! If you ever need any help I brought over the Skyrim Mods community!
I’ve only ever played vanilla Skyrim, and found the experience fun; however, I could not handle the combat, with the melee weapons feeling like they lacked any weight. Do you think it’s worth playing again with this modpack?
Hmm…it definitely changes combat (look up Ultimate Combat + Wildcat), but this is definitely a difficulty-based modpack. Still, with a bunch of followers it’s easier, but you can quickly end up being killed in the heat by a bad swing of a warhammer.
Sounds good! To be honest, I usually played most Bethesda games using V.A.T.S, which was only on Fallout. One thing I liked was that I just had to endure a tough early game, and as long as I stacked my skills accordingly, I became a killing machine with the press of a button. As a result, I didn’t enjoy the Elder Scrolls games as much since they didn’t have that mechanic, and it seems like a difficulty-based combat system might not fit what I was looking for.
For role-playing purposes, is it possible to do a charisma/leadership build where you allow your followers to do all the combat, while you stay back and just pick people off with arrows? I see that you can have up to four followers, so not sure if that type of build is possible.
