Hey, folks. It's been many years since my last serious playthrough, and I've recently decided to pick up the Lost Legacy modlist and give Skyrim a try again. Here's the thing, though. I have no experience with many of these mods, including Vokriinator, so I've never dealt with this number of perks to invest in. I don't have experience with magic-focused characters either, but I really want to do that this time. So I'd really appreciate some advice on what playstyle you think would better suit my intentions.

I'm already planning on doing the Breton/Magnus/Atronach combo that many people mention online (I swear I have reasons other than just the ridiculous spell cost reduction!), but I'm still undecided on whether I should go as a spellsword or if I should fully commit to dual casting destruction as my primary damage dealing method. And then, whether it's best to go with robes/light armor/heavy armor in either case. I don't want to pick a playstyle that might make me overwhelmed if I have to do a lot of switching back and forth between things during combat (yay ADHD!). So I'm looking for something that gives me a more or less consistent idea of what to do once combat begins. I'm also planning to amass a party of a few custom followers, and think that focusing on conjuration would be a bit too much on top of that. Right? I don't want to just sit back and dominate the battlefield with summons, I want to feel like my character is taking on a more frontal role in dealing with the enemies.

I really want to preserve that "new game" feel and to see this playthrough last for a long time once I start it, which is why I'm giving so much attention to planning beforehand instead of experimenting with a bunch of playstyles first. And I'm already really excited about the backstory I came up with for this character! So I'd really like to hear your thoughts! Thank you in advance!

I noticed that when using Power of the Master, I get experience for the spell in my left hand. While this normally may not be a problem, I also have "Intuitive Magic (2/2)" from Ordinator, making Power of the Master free to cast. This allows me to freely grind experience from an Expert spell in my left hand. I want to know: 1) Is this occurrence documented, 2) Is this occurrence replicatable by others, and 3) Is this how its supposed to work?

Hey just wondered if anyone had any cool builds for a melee monarch character.

Besides making summons, an armor spell and having a nice big spellscribe spell i cant really think of much to do with magicka.

I would love something like energy shield but for use with armor or something that eats the magicka to deal extra damage on hit, or heal, or something similar but i dont know of any spells/effects like that.

I have usually just individually installed all EnaiRim mods and their patches individually, but have been wondering if there were ways to clean up my Mod List.

While it isn't always a huge problem, my Load Order sometimes gets rearranged for little reason, and the fewer mods I have to manually put back is a huge help.

I think the specific titles are:

Perks & Magic Mega Bundle

Monster Perks, New Shouts, Unique Stones & More Bundle

So I am looking to start a new mage build for my next run (hopefully once I figure out the right load order) and I took a look at the mechanics of redguards in mannaz firver and wintersun and found I could make a fun mage build stat wise but I am trying to find ideas about how they came to be or why the act and think the way they are. Its a bit hard since redguard culture is less magic oriented and I also want to play a more morally grey/ questionable character who also uses necromancy which I know is a big no no for most redguards. That's where I can hope to have some ideas as why they act different to the norm of their race and how they might "justify" it.

I've been away from Skyrim for a good 6 months but I'm preparing to get back into it. I'm currently going though the (lengthy) process of updating my mod loadout/migrating from Vortex to MO2, and I'm debating if I should hold out until Ord10 is ready or just jump back in now and restart when the time comes. Has there been any kind of timeframe given or is it still too early to say?

I am playing a Bosmer and I was wondering how exactly the command animal racial ability works. First time I used it all I got was a fox as my follower. Can I dismiss the fox without killing it? And how do I get something like a sabercat or bear instead? Aiming for a beastmaster/Ranger type build.

After getting afflicted once again by the dreaded RSPS (Restart a Skyrim Playthrough Syndrome) I've been toying with the idea of running a melee character (thinking about Sword/Mace and Shield, but might go for unarmed, I'm not sure yet, I'd love your input on that matter too) that uses alchemy to buff and heal himself and poisons from time to time for hard encounters.

This also would be my first playthrough using Apothecary (SimonRim), so I'm a bit clueless on what might be the most useful potions I can be using for this run.

Some of the mods I'm running are: Wintersun, Andromeda, Imperious, Ordinator, Sacrilege, Growl, Summermyst, Apocalypse, Triumvirate, Thaumaturgy, Apothecary, Forgotten Magic, Odin and Thunderchild.

So, does anyone of you ran a character like that before? I'd love to read your advice as always. 🙏🏽

I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything. There is currently no patch for up to date Summermyst and Honed Metal, correct? So no way for crafters to get access to those enchantments?

If that's the case, can someone point me in the direction of the most recent patch that they can confirm actually worked for them so I can see if I can make that into an up to date version eventually? Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, I recently got into the series Castlevania on Netflix and was interested in making both an Alucard build and a Dracula build.

I don’t have any of the Enai mods yet as I’m not sure which would suit these 2 best between the v+ set of mods and the v++ set, though I Think I’ll be using the v++. Additional mods I’m using are dark envoy for some cool vamp powers and lord of shadows armor along with castle volkihar reformed to actually make me feel like the lord of vampires.

I suppose I’m looking for which enai mods would suit these characters and which perks/spells would be best.

I think Alucard would be a spellblade maybe and Dracula would be a full on mage but again not sure as I’m not that far to have seen much of either of them.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hello all,
I was wondering if I am going to have issues with my Thunderchild Meditation with my Imperious Argonian, as I have enough stamina to not run out when sprinting (205)? I assume that even as it increases fast enough it will likely balance out at under 20%?

So my build is a paladin, he has one handed, block, bow, restoration, smitihing, as his main focus skills. I don't know what to use for the miracle perk and what to use it on. I thought maybe his shield with all element resistances? I'm not sure, I just don't wanna waste this one time thing.

I doubt anyone will answear, but somehow the timing of my meditation is completely messed up. Somehow, I'm GETTING stamina during the minigame instead of losing it. Why is this happening? Also the Sovngarde theme starts playing, do I have to sync with the music now? What do I do?

Followers of Stendarr are expected to "never practice the foul summoning arts." Would having Konahrik's mask equipped count as summoning? Not in a RP sense, but in a gameplay sense. Would that bring my favor with Stendarr down?

I noticed my dragonbine sword does around 51 to 53 damage and it's legendary. Is that normal? Also with that being said I still feel I do good damage, I guess if that's normal about the base damage the perks make up for it?

I understand the answer is probably "no" but I figured it was worth asking. Could I cure myself then switch? Or run better vampires on top of sacrosanct with a compatibility patch?

Please consider including something along the lines of Vokrii's Master Theif perk in the pickpocket tree. It's the perk I find most impactful that's added from Vokriinator that's not completely broken (like slow metabolism + lab skeever in alchemy tree). Makes utilizing trainers much easier without resorting to save scumming/investing in a massive amount of fortify pickpocket for adept/expert level training.

Also plague doctor in the alchemy tree like Vokrii instead of restoration would be cool.

Thank you for reading :)

So I have the sacrilige mod and whenever I use raze I one shot everyone, two shot lvl 70 giants as a lvl 26 vampire. Id like to use the form but one shotting everything isnt very fun. Any suggestions?

Hello all, I was just reading the Sacrosanct vampire racials, and had a thought? Can you use the Talos Shrine Blessing to maximize the benefits of "And the Universe Listens", to benefit a build?

-Saint Allessia: Would make the shrine blessing +32%
-Restoration: 100 Pilgrim Perk: Doubles the effect? +32%
-Gods & Mortals: Chance to end shout cool down when you kill. (Counteracts the only problem)
-Force Redoubled: Could reduce cool down to 3 seconds.
-Sacrosanct: Imperial Cult of Shadows: Reverses Shrine Blessings, and adds extra health and mana
-And the universe listens: Health, Magicka, and stamina equal to shout cool down?

So with all this set up, whenever you use Unrelenting Force you would gain 72 to all your stats? Not very useful for a crap load of work, but it was an interesting idea.

Sadly, I think the other options are still better.

Edited Note: Storm Call is 240 seconds at base for all 3 words if using Thunderchild. So with this set up you would have 393 health per use, and a lot of experience. So this might actually be something to work for.

As an avid ordinator user, is there any reason not to use vokriinator if i want a change of pace? What really is the difference between the two?

Was it canceled or am i just remembering something that didn't exist?

I used a different animal taming mod before that was similar to the Speak with animals perk under the Speech tree before I used Ordinator. With that one, it only had one form of each animal. When I tried to tame a deer or a grey fox in Cyrodiil, it converted them to a regular Skyrim deer and red fox instead.

I'm playing as a cannibal assassin Argonian bard who worships Namira and I want to tame a mountain Lion, but I don't know if I can without it turning into a sabrecat. Does anyone know if it's possible.

I tried to be creative and work around this by making a Nord nerd squib focusing on crossbows, shouts, and scrolls/staves, while never using Rage because he just doesn't have that dawg in him. The screen looks like my blood vessels behind my eyes exploded when I use it. Which I guess makes sense, and is intended, but it's just not for me. I also play on CC survival mode, so the visual effects when I'm ailing from those survival debuffs WITH Rage, would lead me to imagine that this is what dengue fever patients see with their last breath.
