this thread made me want to go play skyrim. at which point i found out that they updated it in november and even though i had it set in steam to NOT update steam had updated and downloaded in the background without me paying attention. so now all my skse mods are busted.
i guess i'll see how they updated vanilla.
and as an aside, another generic-ish skyrim clone that i do think is enjoyable is gedonia, also on steam. it looks like zelda windwaker aesthetically. it's a one-person dev made in unity. it is buggy as all get out, but enjoyable nonetheless. just like skyrim :p
there is this craptastic skyrim clone https://store.steampowered.com/app/253410/Ravensword_Shadowlands/ which was made in unity, and their design document probably looks like buttons' instructions for how to make crappy skyrim clone. and in my opinion it totally takes the punch out of buttons' argument.
yes you can clone skyrim's "primitive" systems. but it's not fun. skyrim is fun, for some of us anyways. is it a "real rpg"? i dunno. there are some who argue that anything except the 0e dnd from 1974 is not a true rpg.
so what makes an rpg an rpg? by strictest definition a role playing game would be a structured form of play wherein one or more players take on the role of characters. but that is the way i played super mario bros in 1987 when i was barely out of diapers. i was mario in my head.
so is it skills and leveling up? equipment and hit points? is it an interactive story with impactful choices? is it elves and hobbits and odin-esque wizards?
in my opinion it's like obscenity. i'll know it when i see it.
and please dont waste your hard earned $7 on ravensword shadowlands. it is really bad.
oh and edit: i was thankful every time i finished a dungeon in skyrim and didn't have to trek back ghrough. immersion breaking and unrealistic as it is, i totally get why they did it. they did it specifically for ryan rodgers.
ooh i like the jeweled eye. gives me kaballah-esque tree of life vibes, but looks totally different. seems like it could be used to differentiate schools of magic or worldy powers derived from divine concepts.
have you ever read roger zelazny's amber books? the pattern and the logrus and all that jive. zelazny is god.
oooohhh i can't wait
still figurin' for feb 1st ish?

yes those are the books i was referring to. you should read them.
The Nords have still not invented the ladder. And the Dwemer created vast underground cities with steampunk tech but never invented the ladder either.
lol i painstakingly tried doing animations and modifications to space merc myself before i discovered that someone did all the work for me :)
and it didn't turn out even 10% as good as yours. d'oh!
i'll be using your version with my colors when i get back around to viroid planet.
