First, Saadia's age. She appears to me to be in her mid to late 30s, maybe early 40s. The Great War began in 4E 171, 30 years before TESV, which would make her pretty darn young to be selling out a city (whatever that means, since no proof is given). So, she'd have to be at least 50 years old to be in some sort of authority position at the time (20+ yo) to be giving military/logistical secrets of an entire city to the Thalmor (betraying her family House Suda I might add). Yeah, I don't think she looks 50+ either. However, if she's in her late 30s/early 40s, it would make more chronological sense if she was speaking out against the Dominion in occupied Taneth for the remainder of the decade until the Second Treaty of Stros M'Kai, almost 10 years later in 4E 180. That would put her between late teens and early 20s by then.

But what about the Alik'r? Well, they're mercenaries. They'll do whatever is needed for the highest bidder. They may have a code of conduct or honor, but they could still have been hired by the Thalmor.

Other questions abound. Why would Saadia have sought asylum in the Empire instead of the Dominion if she helped the Thalmor? If the nobles of Taneth wanted her for treason, couldn't they have gone through official channels to pursue and extradite a fugitive, even if Hammerfell isn't in the Empire? Let's not forget that Taneth had 20 years to pursue her through legal means, whereas if she spoke out against the Thalmor during the occupation and escaped, the Thalmor would be forced to use their only means of exploring the Imperial provinces (through spies and mercs). It makes much more sense that it takes 20 years for mercenaries to find a woman than any state-sanctioned search. After all, the Thalmor were only recently allowed access to Skyrim to put down the Talos cult worship so they couldn't directly search for her. They use spies (Gissur) and assassins (Shavari, J'Datharr) anyway, so why not mercenaries?

shit's already up

The answer is kill all of them to obtain maximum cash.

Then crashing
Aww yeah, I could use those robes for a dwemer specialist playthrough I'm doing.

So why didn't she stay in Hammerfell? She probably did, but she's been running ever since, hence why she "can't keep running forever" as she says when you decide to betray her to Kematu. Maybe that's where she got her scar, in some sort of altercation with her pursuers ages ago. That's a bit of speculation on my part, but it makes more sense that she's fled further and further into Imperial lands than Aldmeri if she spoke out against the Dominion.

In the end, the Alik'r close in on her, believing her to be in Whiterun, and choose to shack up with unscrupulous characters since they apparently can't all stay in an inn. There are so many of them because they've been covering large swaths of land in search of her. If you betray her, there's no indication that they wouldn't just show her body to the Thalmor instead of marching her back to Hammerfell.

A minor point people make is that she switches from not knowing the Alik'r are in the city to referring the LDB to one that's in the city jail. It's not stated whether that particular warrior was caught in the city of Whiterun or not, so I don't consider it particularly compelling evidence against Saadia.

The Alik'r show up in Skyrim with no hard proof of her crimes or writ of execution or anything. That's all I can think of at this point in her defense, but I'd say there's definitely enough ambiguity and lack of information or evidence to warrant that a potentially innocent, near defenseless woman shouldn't be left in the hands of belligerent mercenaries of questionable motive.

I don't even remember them all. Played Arena/Daggerfall and Fallout 1/2 back in the day, moved away from PC gaming, tried Morrowind on a friend's Xbox, and Oblivion when I got a PS3. Fallout 3 came just as I was getting back in PC gaming.

>Diablo 2
>vanilla World of Warcraft
>Final Fantasy 1 & 9
>Pokemon Blue/Gold/Sapphire
>Fallout 3 / New Vegas
>Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
>Persona Q I'm on the last dungeon and I dont want it to end so I wont finish it

Sorry you had to type that but I know the manual way

I didn't play any real PC games for the longest time, I was a console gamer except for MMOs on PC (NexusTK, RO, and WoW) and some TF2. Early on in the PS3/Xbox 360 era I started playing more PC games. By the time Skyrim came out, I was 95% PC (with only a PS3/4 for certain games).

I still haven't played any of the really classic RPGs that I feel like I should, nor even beaten Morrowind/Oblivion.

If I quit WoW and got a better attention span I might be able to actually finish a video game.

Inb4 downvotes because PS4 users can think it can come to their system

Who would you rather rule the Empire? Potema or an elf?

Elisif

Arena and Daggerfall are on my to-play list. Oblivion is the one TES game I should play, but I don't have the strength to.

I like FF and Pokémon. Diablo 2 is on my to-play list too.

Interplay/Black Isle/BioWare 97-03 RPGs are pretty cool, I suggest you give them a try.

>dwemer specialist playthrough
It's fun. I go through this every now and again, there's always something new to play with - docs.google.com/document/d/1mKyzToQaD2LcDTMy8ep9BYWEbx6EJj2khgoY_lRzg70/edit?pref=2&pli=1

Depends on the elf.

Also Potema is super double dead.

an Elf that wasn't insane, a known necromancer and murderer, and who had no love for anyone in her heart.

>Skyrim
>FFXIV
>Oblivion

That's it. Despite being in IT, I'm a recent PC gamer because poor for a long, long time and Linux. This is only my second year of running a Windows OS.

CBBE is shit.

>Then crashing
Ya that's what I'm saying

Killing Harkon was okay tho, no CTDs there Marin was originally going to get killed by him but I couldn't make him equip his sword and that was a requirement

You haven't played Diablo 2 until you've been run through all 5 acts in less than 20 minutes by a Lightning Nova Sorceress.

Okay pedo

Skyrim
Oblivion
Morrowind
FO3,NV,FO4
Vampire the masquerade
Mount and blade
Dragons Dogma
Deus ex HR

I dont really like most non-RPG or RTS games.

It's still private/unpublished right now. Hopefully, it should be unlocked soon.

Great. I'm doing a Battlemage playthrough and I was getting tired of looking like a generic warrior type.

Yeah, a number of them are on my list to play. But my issue right now is that I can't finish any game. I have a huge backlog that is only growing.

Oh no, sorry, not for regular skyrim oh god no. Playthroughs don't exist there. On SSE it's what I'm doing, need to know what Cries and Prissa know for dialogue then hopefully the bonemold archer for Dragonborn.
But thank you.
Whoops, I missed that "kills your game" but still, I'm with ya.

Fucking shit. Now I gotta figure out which mod is causing this issue. Other than JK's skyrim, I don't really know what could be the issue.

I like the pommel on that sword. What mod?

Skyrim
Morrowind
Fallout 3
Fallout NV
>Fallout 4
Fallen Earth
Everquest II
Guild Wars 1 and 2
Jade Dynasty
Dragon's Dogma (really should go back and play more of it)
Fable
Dragon Age: Origins
Cthulhu Saves the World

Played Oblivion on 360, yet to play it on PC.

Well I wasn't a PC gamer until two years ago. Until then, it was PS1 and PS2 for a long, long time. Even on PS3 I only played a handful of titles, like Gran Turismo, God of War III, Modern Warfare 3, and GTA V (awesome game, I would dare say the best ever made).

Is Mount and Blade as dorky a game as it looks like?

>this fucking faggot

Has anyone tried Smilodon? Is it gud?

It's good stuff.

Enderal Special Edition when

Oops, forgot picture.

I've checked out Dragon's Dogma, I've heard wonders of its combat. Luckily it was re-released for PCs this year.

M&B is amazing for pretty decent combat, more realistic battles, and sieges and shit.

the baldurs gate games are still worth playing. they're like the grand daddy that inspired everything.

I've talked to them, but they used a modified version of SKSE, it'd take a while.
That being said I converted it over and while it didn't run per-say, the environments loaded and definitely got better performance.

Is Durnehviir the best character in the whole game? Yes, glad we agree.

What's the thought on the SE version of Skyrim? I only recently heard it was a thing, and I haven't touched regular skyrim in ages

It's good, requires a bit more time to get an SKSE version for SE that will allow more mods to be used on it.

It's a good base to build on (64 bit native and much more stable) but it'll just take time.

What kind of benefits would you say there is for SE compared to skyrim, what with having all the years worth of mods made for the original skyrim

>not Cicero.

Not really worth modding yet until more mods come out for it. Recently FNIS got released for the special edition but right now, SKSE still needs to be ported.

SE on it's own doesn't add much to Skyrim at all. The only thing that's new would be improved performance and volumetric godrays.

if ur a console pleb then it's good because i saw my roomate in college playing the ps3 version of skyrim and it looked like a disaster. now console players have something decent to play

if you're a pc player (and you got it for free) then it's good because it fixes most of skyrim's technical limitations that we were having with modding. as soon as we get a script extender developed, the SE will be the definitive modding platform for skyrim.

Guys i'm trash at making waifus could someone be nice ad tell me how i could port one over to SSE?

why is this piece of shit 2011 game overheating my laptop more than, idk, fucking overwatch and shit?

also SE keeps crashing every time i start new game, and u still cant skip intro, cant u?

There is no memory limit on mods, performance is better, more stable

Cicero is obnoxious

whats the best combat mod?

Performance. Both in raw fps, and in stability to let it do things like put far, far more actors on screen at once with fully functioning AI.

Hey guys, I keep trying to install the Morrowind Graphics overhaul but it keeps freezing at the Extracting files and says "please wait". I recently got an SSD card and the harddrive in :E instead of :C and I'm using the Steam version, in case any of that information is important.

There is no best. Ultimate Combat, Wildcat, Vigor, Smilodon, and Combat Evolved (Alone or in combination with UC or Vigor) are all solid choices. Look at the feature sets and decide which you prefer.

All you guys can just go suck an egg.

Someone recommend good vampire games that aren't masquerade, I've played that to the death already.

The Night Mother stayed my hand. Otherwise, he'd be dead.

>and u still cant skip intro, cant u?
nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/272/?

Pick the "Camping in the Woods" option.

Guys? Please help.

Why is this general always so full of cringe inducing OC''s and waifu fagging?

This is getting out of hand.

>it's another episode of faggot as no idea where he is

Because that's how a general for a single player game survives this long.

One thing is that the 4GB RAM limit is a thing of the past so now the only limit is however much RAM you physically have in your rig. Also, SSE is running on DX11 rather than DX9 and they put some stuff that you used to have use ENB for into the native code so that increases game stability.

Alternate Start has been out for a while now.

nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/272/

Just choose the "hunting in the woods" option if you want just want to skip the vanilla start and continue on with the regular game.

What else is there?

top 10 best characters in TESV

1. faendal
2. sven
3. arvel the swift
4. and 5. those 2 guys in start riften tunnel
6. that guy in riften sewers who drops gloves for unarmed damage
7. orc bard in morthal
8. stenvar
9. farengar SECRET FKN FIRE
10. troll from dark brotherhood sanctuary in dawnstar

Nothing. Just let the general die.

You're running out of VRAM.

Why?

no durnehviir = ur wrong

Give me something to do with Illusion or Alteration lads

Seriously guys, what's going on? How do I make the Morrowind Overhaul install?

Stop.

>no erik the slayer

Dropped.

Not worth the hassle.

Ask on Reddit, though.

Cause this OC shit and stupid and pathetic and is worse than dying.

and yet you're hear wondering why there's so many people talking about skyrim. skyrim will literally never die (until 2021 when TES 6 gets release)

That's just your opinion.

Is there really a benefit to download the special edition if I already have the legendary edition?

I hope it gets better soon, I cant be arsed to manually fix 30+ mods

Look at the replies to

This list is actually really really bad

Right now, probably not. SE is still mainly focused on restoring things from Oldrim. In the future maybe.
