octopath traveler omg omg wowee crazy
i just beat it for the first* time so let's discuss. *(i have done four playthrus of this game, 2 of which finished all stories and only this recent one beating the final boss.)
I deeply love this game.. here are my thoughts.
My favourite soundtrack of any video game ever. It's like 80 tracks and every one is one I enjoy listening to. i can't even list my favourites because it would be like... well all the character themes are great.. same with the battle/boss themes.. and most of the town themes are good too!!
boost/break system is genius and makes no battle feel like a slog or a mashfest because the optimal way to get through fights isn't to mash a, it's to be actually strategic and plan out turns. so much customization with the jobs and support skills, and there's a ton of ways to become really overpowered which is fun too.
all the protags are great and interesting!! even for the stories that I felt were weaker the characters are enjoyable to watch. even though there is barely any character interaction between the main 8 (which is THE biggest problem with the game, btw.. so much wasted potential.. :/), when it does happen in the travel/tavern banter it's always great.
it looks beautiful.. even in hindsight, after seeing the octopath 2 trailers and comparing them, n realizing that every cutscene is static camera movements.. the sprites are still detailed, locations varied... and goshdarn i love the bloom filter
yes the final boss is weirdly structured and the way you unlock it is very dumb. the fact that there is an 8-fight boss rush followed by a two phase final boss that is exponentially more difficult than anything else in the game that you have to fight using every party member and also you can't save is incredibly stupid. the fight itself is fine and stressful in a fun way, but also not a fun way because you know that if you lose you have to redo the stupid gauntlet again.
tip for playing this video game: if you want everyone to be evenly leveled by endgame: instead of everyones ch1, ch2, etc... have two completely separate teams. do 4 party members entire plots before getting the rest. this is how i did it on this playthrough and it helped spread exp and shook up the gameplay at the halfway point. makes the chapter structure of the game a little less formulaic too.
but...... theres just this indescribable charm and heart to it in the small details... being able to learn information about every npc, the character-specific transitions into the boss themes, the surprisingly detailed worldbuilding/lore, having a ton of battle voicelines where everyone says the name of their attack or says cheesy ice puns or whatever.. even though this game has many problems i can't hate it because i know there'll be something moments later that puts a big grin on my face.
so yeah. play this game or at least listen to the ost please. there is also a sequel releasing feb 24 that will probably fix most problems with this game. i'm typing this on my computer so i can't use heart emojis but pretend that there are a bunch right now. video games !!!!!

so i saw a take about eula that made me mad so here’s my (biased) rant about her
i’m pro-end user license agreement, i think she’s cute, not just appearance-wise but personality-wise too
(didn’t pull her tho bc the kinda obvious powercreeping made me salty, might pull her when her rerun comes around just to have her and not level her)
but basically the gist of this rant is gonna be i think people unfairly mischaracterize her and i’m gonna talk about why i think she’s a good bean based on the two things about her that i’ve seen people mention they dislike the most: the way she talks and her relationship to/feelings about her family
disclaimer: a lot of this is my opinion and my interpretation of her character, probably has a lot of typos
this will probably be really like
incomprehensible i’m tired sorry but i’ll try to make sense
okay so
a lot of people from what i’ve seen dislike eula bc of the way she talks, but at least try to understand why she might talk the way she does
putting aside the reason why she talked the way she did to the people of mondstadt during her story quest (i’ll get to that later), let’s talk about her whole focus on vengeance first
imo her whole thing about vengeance is a shield of sorts for her
many of the people of mondstadt would only ever see her as a descendant of the lawrence clan, someone who means to do mondstadt harm
so might as well give them what they expect, even if it’s not what you really mean
her story in her character profile even says this
“Her grievances and vengeance are but a habit, a signal, a shield.
“What remarks she should just laugh off, what concepts she should bear in mind given her unique circumstances and position...“
one has to remember that eula is a descendant of the lawrence clan, a clan that is hated in mondstadt bc of how corrupted they became during the era of the aristocracy
it’s likely that when she was a child she was ostracized even though the sins of her family, her ancestors, aren’t her own
even if she wanted to make friends with the other children of mondstadt, they were probably too distrustful of her
in her story in her character profile, there’s no mention of jean or diluc in regards to her past, but amber is mentioned to have been her friend even before eula joined the knights of favnious
it’s likely amber was one of her few friends growing up, if not her only friend
and amber is a pretty easy-going and welcoming person; she probably didn’t care about the way eula spoke all that much and bc they’re friends she understands the feelings eula hides behind her seemingly contentious words
anyways about her and the people of mondstadt
the people of mondstadt only see the family she’s a part of; they don’t see her
from her profile story:
“Eula has been viewed with contempt by the citizens of Mondstadt since birth. The Lawrence name stands for a legacy of depravity and despotism that stains Mondstadt's past and scars the minds of its citizens even to this day.
“So, whenever Eula appears, old wounds resurface. People despise the aristocracy, and this does no favors for her reputation.”
“In truth, Eula is nothing like the fearsome predator many imagine her to be. On the contrary, constantly being met with prejudice at every turn means she is often the victim.
“At one time, shops would refuse to sell her their goods, restaurants would put no care and attention into her orders, and the citizens on her patrol route would refuse to cooperate with her. So, Eula's work is fraught with difficulties.“
and in her voicelines:
“The life of a Lawrence doesn't include much worth talking about... Basically, whatever you say, whatever you do, people will always despise you and treat you like a potential threat to society. It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be, though. Before I'd joined the Knights, good grief... I couldn't even buy groceries. Even Good Hunter and Mondstadt General Goods wouldn't take my money.”
“People tell me that if I just spoke more softly, or was more polite, or acted more deferentially, others may find it easier to forgive me, but the only reason they think that way is because they've never been branded a pariah before. There is no easy path to redemption when you're a social pariah. I'm more inclined to stop tiptoeing around everyone all the time and just get out there and make them respect me the old-fashioned way! As in, we square off and if they win, I humbly accept my punishment, but if they lose, they must acquiesce to my demands... Such as... Well, I mean, if I want to buy a loaf of bread, take my darn money, for crying out loud!“
the people of mondstadt wronged her and were mean to her simply bc of the blood that runs through her veins, and i think it’s bc of that she says that she’ll have her vengeance
imo her act of vengeance against the people of mondstadt is being a faultless knight, a knight who completes their duties flawlessly and is without reproach
from her story in her profile:
“...she is a law-abiding citizen and has never harmed another Mondstadter in her life. She may come across as having a somewhat frosty demeanor, but she is entirely scrupulous in her speech and conduct.”
“When Jean sends a new recruit to track down Eula in the wilds and deliver a new set of verbal orders, they always receive the same response: ‘If you have to resort to tasking the descendant of your former oppressors with doing your work, then perhaps you are not as strong as I thought’
“But despite the antagonism in her words, she will complete her newly assigned tasks to perfection. The new recruit is invariably forced to admit that with her abilities, it is no wonder she was able to achieve a captaincy within just a few years of joining the Knights.“
and honestly i just think she’s a tsundere
my evidence, your honor?
her “About Us: Feud” voiceline:
“Our feud is for the long term, so rather than get payback on a piecemeal basis, I think I'll make things easier for myself and wait for a day when I can settle the score once and for all. It could be in ten years, could even be twenty... But don't worry, I won't forget. In the meantime, I'll need you to take good care of yourself and have a happy, healthy life, okay?”
anyways about the way she spoke in her story quest
one first has to learn that this was what she was taught that way since she was young
reading up on the lawrence family based on her profile story, the renmants of the lawrence family are pretty much a cult i think
“The Lawrence Clan may have been overthrown a long time ago, but they have never given up hope of one day rising again and reclaiming their place as the ruling class. So that they are always prepared for this monumental moment, their offspring are subjected to an educational regime so unbelievably harsh that it is considered borderline abusive.
“’Noble obligations’ must be performed to absolute perfection in every possible sense, and these obligations cover etiquette, ritual, and study as well as cooking and other domestic chores.”
and also
she clearly doesn’t talk that way all the time?
personally the reason i think the mondstadters we talked to were like ‘ugh, this again?’ is bc all of the lawrence clan does it, and eula is part of the lawrence clan so it’s like, expected of her to talk that way
but the main reason she talked that way was to give an example to the traveler
she didn’t talk that way to us when we first met her, and she didn’t talk that way to amber and sarah
and some people think she still supports her family? like man
i don’t know if we went through the same story quest or not
but eula quite clearly ruined a plan of her uncle’s that was to harm mondstadt? and during that quest she quite clearly shows her disdain for her family and her family’s ideals?
“I’ve never experienced the age of ‘glory’ you always speak of, and I’ve never understood our family’s incessant pursuit of it. [...] The Lawrence Clan should never and will never become what you’ve dreamed it to be!”
not to mention her voicelines where she makes fun of her family often:
“Knights and aristocrats share the same cultural heritage, but the knights had enough sense to do away with all the superfluous detail.“
“Aristocratic etiquette is all just for show... Just smile and nod along! I was forced to learn all of the rules by heart, but even I don't take them that seriously.”
“I heard that bard sing a few songs about the Lawrence Clan... They were lighthearted and funny stories that mocked the clan in a way I've never heard anyone else do. Even I couldn't help but burst out laughing... And for this, he must pay!”
“Technically, aged Dandelion Wine should be poured into a silver goblet and allowed to breathe for 12 minutes, then you're supposed to add ice cubes, ideally so 60% of the ice is submerged beneath the wine. I refuse to do all that though, it's not worth the hassle.”
and not to mention this voiceline where she outright states that if her family crossed the line she’d end her family herself:
“If my family members refuse to change their corrupt ways, or worse, continue to cause active harm in Mondstadt... I should be the one to end them, along with the Lawrence name itself. For once, it'd be a family obligation I'd actually enjoy. And once the deed was done, I'd be free to pick any name I wanted. Or even let you pick one for me!“
also about her saying she wants to avenge her kin in her voicelines, (this is me kinda reaching, ngl) imo it could just be her sarcasm, or she could be trying to change mondstadt’s view of the lawrence clan so that others in the family like her who aren’t as attatched to the aristocratic customs and share her beliefs can walk freely in mondstadt’s streets without fear of reprisal, which can be evidenced by this voiceline:
“The name Lawrence only became a social stigma after the clan fell from grace. It was once an honor to be called a Lawrence, but unfortunately, most people have forgotten about that part of history. The Grand Master says that I am performing rather well as a knight, and that if it's not enough to restore the honor of the Lawrence name, it's certainly a strong rebuttal against the one-sided opinions so many people throw around. I'm quite satisfied with that appraisal.“
furthermore based on her voiceline about barbara, i’m pretty sure she wants to be liked? to be acknowledged in a good way?
“Everyone loves her. What's her secret? Maybe I could learn a thing or two from her... Hmm, or maybe not. I can't imagine a ‘Shining Idol’ would want anything to do with a descendant of a depraved dynasty.“
like, she doesn’t want to be thought of as just a descendant of the lawrence clan
she wants to be known for who she is, not her family
i think this is why she avoids lisa too, since lisa would have read all about her family and she doesn’t want lisa’s judgement
lastly, what she learned from amber’s grandfather, found in her profile story:
“From him, she learned an open-mindedness and down-to-earth persistence that she had heretofore not possessed. Before grievance and vengeance, before clan and outsider, one must find "oneself" first.
“One's way of living, self-preservation, objects of perseverance...
“Then call it "grievance" and name it "vengeance" — that will not change its essential strength and goodness.
“It would be Eula's very own gentle path of revenge...“
she didn’t turn against the people of mondstadt and join her family in their crusade for glory even though the people of mondstadt treated her horribly
she instead strove to be someone worthy of being respected, someone who is more than just a part of a disgraced and despised family
anyways i think that’s all i wanted to say
basically tldr: end user license agreement is a sweet and gentle person and i like her very much

sorry if my previous anon seemed rude. i never played gears of war and all i knew about was marcus and his dad. i was curious about gears i guess. anyway, what elements from gears 3's multiplayer do you appreciate the most? what exactly was taken for granted?
I didn’t take it as rude don’t worry. The MARCUS’S DAAAD jokes were funny at the time. And as for being taken for granted, just about everything. I wish I could go back in time and tell people “This is the last arena shooter that’s going to release for the next six years.”, because unless I’m forgetting one, it was. Multiplayer is 5vs5 with weapon and player skins being unlockable through gameplay, not a paywall or lootboxes(there were paid weapon skins, but the coolest-looking weapon skins were free to unlock). Every player skin was voice-acted and had unique voicelines with tons of personality for each character. Movement in Gears 3 is entirely unique, and it kind of has its own version of bunny-hopping that involves sprinting from cover to cover, although this still managed to look like natural movement on-screen. Control of the map was powerweapon-based, but there were also loadouts. These loadouts weren’t custom perks or anything, just a choice between three assault rifles and two shotguns, all of which are unlocked for everyone right away, and all have their own completely unique strengths and weaknesses. Powerweapons were *powerful*, with about half of them being something that you could easily blow yourself up with if you weren’t careful, and then also many weapons had very unique features. One assault rifle has a chainsaw built in that you can instakill enemies with if you get close and catch them offguard, but your target also has the chainsaw bayonet, he can rev it at the last second and then you two get into a button-mashing chainsaw fight where whoever presses B the most times in 3 seconds wins and saws through the loser. Another AR had a huge conventional bayonet which gave it massive melee damage, as well as the ability to instakill targets by sprinting for a great enough distance and then crashing into them. This AR also had massive recoil and was pretty much unusable long-range. The last AR had no special thing, and the lowest DPS, but it also had the greatest accuracy at any range, making it very useful on big maps. The first shotgun was a pretty conventional shotgun, able to instakill point-blank but also useful at mid-range, while the second shotgun was a blunderbus, instakilling potentially multiple opponents at short range, but completely useless at any other range, and with the longest reload time in the whole game. I don’t have time right now to go over all the power weapons, but they’re all unique and have some means of instakillling players. Instakilling players was very important, because in all gamemodes, players enter a wounded state when their HP hits 0, rather than just dying. They can crawl around, call for help from their teammates, and even stitch their own wound up and continue fighting if they’re left alone for long enough. And if their teammates get to them, all it takes is a pat on the ass to bring them back to full HP. Instakills skip this wounded state and they just die, and in many game modes, players only have one life per round and don’t respawn until the next. In some game modes, this wounded state actually makes them invincible, so you can’t just shoot them from across the map, you have to catch up to them and the only way to kill them is to perform a finishing move on them. (And every single weapon had a unique finishing move). You could also pick up wounded enemies as shields, if wounded enemies had a grenade in their hand when they were wounded, they could detonate it while a finisher was being done on them and take the attacker with them, the amount of things you could do with grenades in this game alone could be a whole post. And I haven’t even started on Active Reloading, which is a mechanic unique to Gears of War as far as I know. When you reload, you can just let the animation play out, or you can hit the reload button again with perfect timing to cut the reload time in half, and if you do it with perfect perfect timing, you get a temporary damage boost to that weapon, and/some unique bonus based on the weapon, such as an increased fire rate or longer effective range. However, if you mess it up, your gun jams and you have to wait up to twice as long as the regular reload animation in order to fire again. Active Reloading can be done during any maneuver, so this rockets the skill ceiling of the game up by miles. There’s still about 1,000 people still playing Gears 3 multiplayer, and there’s a ton of stuff I didn’t even mention. I recommend checking it out.

okay so i’ve actually gotten a couple of requests to do like a masterlist of the skyrim mods i use/would recommend for people new to the modding game, so that’s what this is. this is essentially going to be a list of the mods i personally use and is not meant to be like the be-all end-all of mod recs. i play a load order that prioritizes graphics improvements and immersion. if that’s not your thing this will be pretty useless to you. Note: this is for skyrim classic. some of these mods have been ported over to SE but not all of them.
[now under a cut because it’s getting long]
Requirements/Utilities:
SKSE
SkyUI
USLEEP (or the Unofficial Patches for whichever DLCs you own + the base game. USLEEP is for Legendary edition)
Tools: ModOrganizer, LOOT, TES5Edit
*these utilities are needed to basically run everything on this list. if you plan on installing any of the recommended mods, make sure to check the requirements. 
Looking for a certain type of mod? Use Ctrl + F to search for the following categories:
Textures/Graphics 
Character
Immersion
Armor/Weapons 
Gameplay 
New Lands/Quests 
Note: All of the mods listed in this write-up will be compatible with every other mod on this list unless otherwise noted. Pay attention to the markups next to mod names for special requirements and/or considerations when installing.
[TEXTURES/GRAPHICS] mods within this category are mostly standalone texture mods that may or may not have an esp. take note of your system specs and what your rig can handle before installing, as installing improved textures will put a greater strain on your system.
Verdant - a Skyrim Grass Plugin: increases the amount and variance of skyrim’s grass. Pfuscher’s Parallax: adds parallax textures to the game. 2k/4k aMidianBorn Collection: will edit everything from houses to armor if you’re installing all the packages. it’s a pure texture replacement however and won’t add a plugin to your load order. Real Roads Real Ice Realistic HD Collection (there’s like 5-6 texture packages for this but its mostly miscellaneous items) Static Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM) Ruins & Clutter Improved 2 Skysight - Simply Bigger Trees Ultimate HD Fire Effects Better embers PELTAPALOOZA Vivid Landscapes - All In One Realistic Water Two Alternative Snow Immersive Fallen Trees HD Ore and Ingots HD Teeth HQ Paper
ENB Boost & Crash fixes are highly recommended to allow your system to run higher graphics without crashing constantly from running out of available memory. note: some mods on this list will recommend you to download a memory patch--this is obsolete as it is now included within SKSE.
[CHARACTER] mods in this category make edits to characters - appearance, dialogue, companions, etc. almost all of these will include an esp. > mods marked with an asterisk (*) are mods i am not CURRENTLY using in my load order, but have used before without issues. asterisked mods may not be compatible with other mods on this list, and you will need to check compatibility within your load order to ensure it will work properly. i will make notes about compatibility if i happen to remember. > mods marked with (N) are NSFW, but can be found on the nexus.  > mods marked with (N+) are NSFW and are not available on the nexus, must be downloaded elsewhere. (@ LoversLab) > mods marked with (O) may require manual adjustments to load order outside of LOOT due to editing the same values as another mod on the list, but are compatible.  > mods marked with (L) are Large mods, meaning the download is going to be massive (think gbs rather than mbs.) will take a while to download and setup depending on your internet speed.
(APPEARANCE/CHARACTER CREATION)
Tumblr media
Enhanced Character Edit(*)/RaceMenu: these are both popular options for overhauling the character creation menu. either one is fine and really is a matter of preference. adds a huge amount of options for customization. (pictured above: racemenu) CBBE(*)/UNP(N): these are nude models for female characters. both are compatible with almost every armor mod out there, though some may require patches. matter of preference.  Better male nudes(N): again, just a nude character model. basically it adds dicks to the characters so that they actually have a nude model when you snatch their armor. pretty useless unless you care about naked characters not running around in dirty loincloths. has options for build like slender/muscular etc.  SOS (Schlongs of Skyrim)(*/N+): pretty unnecessary but adds variation to dicks. BUT it does support transgender options for the UNP female skeleton. so i thought it was worth including for those who might be interested in that sort of thing.  SG Renewal: texture replacement for female bodies. relies on a particular file from ECE. check the mod description for details on how to set this up if using with RaceMenu. (it’s very simple, don’t worry.) True Eyes: adds new eye textures. True Brows: adds new eyebrow textures, mostly female. No More Blocky Faces: self explanatory Apachi SkyHair(*): adds a bunch of hair options, mostly female.  KS Hairdos(*): more hair, mostly female  KS Hairdos + HDT physics: the same as KS Hairdos, except some of them will have physics attached (aka your hair will move with movement.)  Female Facial Animation BVFE Serana & Family: appearance replacers for Serana, Valerica, and Harkon. also includes standalone options. Bijin Wives/NPCs/Warmaidens (or Bijin AIO): replacers for various npcs such as delphine, hulda, aela, etc. keep in mind this is NOT compatible with any mod that edits the same NPCs. Brothers(*): replacers for vilkas and farkas. i don’t currently use it but they cute tho. AelaSylvanMK(*): actually my favorite aela replacer but i switched to bijin recently. not compatible with the bijin AIO or the specific bijin module that edits aela. (i think warmaidens? i’m not 100% sure on this - check to be certain)
(ADDITIONAL NPCs/NPC BEHAVIOR)
Inigo: new companion who can be recruited from the riften jail. he’s a must have for me, has a pretty amazing voice actor, and will comment on your travels and actions. his AI can also be managed as far as how you want him to approach combat.  Serana Dialogue Edit(O): restores some of serana’s dialogue that was cut from the final version of the vanilla game. Guard Dialogue Overhaul(O): makes the guards treat you realistically. they won’t automatically respect you, especially if you’re playing with an alternate start mod. Relationship Dialogue Overhaul(O): sort of the same thing as GDO, but edits other npc dialogue. npcs will treat you according to your relationship rank.  3DNPC(L) Inconsequential NPCs(L) Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul Player Size Adjuster: unnecessary fluff, but it allows you to edit your characters height and movement speed. also allows editing height of vampire lord/werewolf forms. cool for roleplay. Height Adjusted Races (with True Giants & Mammoths): there are a couple of different modules for this, i use true giants/mammoths. edits the height of various races in the game for more variation with npcs. if you use the TG&M edition, giants and mammoths will be, well, fucking giant.  Player Voicesets: adds voicelines to your character. there’s a few different options but essentially it adds npc lines to your character based on whats available that randomly trigger upon entering battle, finding treasure, or spotting a cave etc.  Marriable Serana(O): lets you marry serana. obviously. fluff mod.
Honorable Mention - Vilja: this is a new companion that is very popular on the nexus, however i’ve personally never used her. fully voice acted. i can’t guarantee she will be compatible but you might want to check her out. 
[IMMERSION] mods in this category are geared towards making skyrim a more immersive, “realistic” experience. some of these will introduce new gameplay mechanics that may not be for everyone. your mileage may vary.  > mods marked with (S) are script heavy mods and will put extra strain on your system. take care for how many script heavy mods you install, as too many will introduce script lag. > mods marked with (D) may be dependent on another mod in order to function properly. dependencies will be clearly marked.  > mods marked with (P) may require patches, either included in the installation, or found in a separate download, in order to work properly with other mods on this list. 
Frostfall(S/D): honestly, frostfall deserves its own writeup post that i might actually make later on, but the gist of it is that frostfall makes the weather of skyrim matter. the cold climate of skyrim will be just as dangerous as any enemy you may encounter. exposure to the elements may result in frostbite, penalties, and even death (the death option can be toggled & replaced by npc rescue). frostfall is dependent upon Campfire. both most be installed in order for frostfall to work. (frostfall has its own website here that does a better job at explaining its core mechanics.)
Tumblr media
Campfire: can be used as an independent mod - frostfall depends on campfire, but campfire itself can be used standalone. allows you to build campsites and campfires, put up tents, etc. probably not a mod you’d need to use without frostfall. (pictured above: campfire; you can see the frostfall atmosphere meter on the upper right--my character is a bit chilly)
Tentapalooza for Campfire: adds more tents to campfire crafting etc. 
Tumblr media
Hunterborn(S/P): adds realistic hunting options to the game ex: you’ll have to skin and quarter animal carcasses etc. may require patches to work with other mods in this list. (pictured above: the processing menu that hunterborn adds to animal corpses)
Tumblr media
Holidays(P): adds lore holidays to the game that have attached events and decorations around the different settlements. requires a patch to work with mods that edit cities. (pictured above: rorikstead with an “active” holiday event, the town will have lanterns and such around the holidays. this is the expanded towns and cities version.)
Take Notes: provides you with an in-game journal to record your adventures. Time Flies: makes actions take a realistic amount of time.  Realistic Humanoid Movement Speed Dead Body Collision Realistic Animation Project - Idles Bathing in Skyrim(S): i’ve heard of some people having occasional ctds with this, so install at your own risk. i personally use it because it adds dirt textures to your character that makes you get dirty, and haven’t had any major issues with it. Showers in Inns: only really useful for bathing in skyrim, adds a bathhouse to inns. Touring Carriages(S*): allows you to actually ride the carriages rather than just the fade to black. it can be a bit wonky physics wise sometimes. i only uninstalled it cause i needed to shave a few esps off my LO. never had any issues.  Wearable Lanterns: adds equippable lanterns. almost a necessity with mods that change lighting so that nights are darker, such as climates of tamriel. Drop Lit Torches: torches that are dropped remain lit. very useful for lighting mods that change interiors - caves can be incredibly dark with some of the lighting mods. Wet & Cold: adds drip shaders and fogged breaths. works seamlessly with frostfall. i’ve heard this can be harder on lower end pcs, but even on my former pc i never had an issue running it. Animations(S/D): adds animations to normal actions such as harvesting, lockpicking, etc. if running alongside hunterborn, disable the looting animation via the MCM as hunterborn messes with the looting on animal corpses. these animations are tied to scripts, however, which execute upon activation of an enabled action. can strain your engine if you’re on a lower end pc. iHUD: allows you to disable certain elements of the hud such as the crosshair or compass. recommended alongside immersive first person. Immersive First Person View: gives you a visible body while in first person. WILL change the way aiming works in the game and makes combat harder (especially melee), so ymmv. is a dependency for one of the combat overhauls (Archery Gameplay).  Go to Bed: your character actually climbs into bed instead of just the menu pop up. Footprints(S): your character and npcs and animals will leave footprints. the script is constantly running so it will put extra strain on your system. i would go without this if you’re running a lower end pc. FNIS Behavior: basically any mod that adds animations will require this as a dependency. this is more of a tool than a mod, and has an application that must be run every time you install or uninstall animations from the game. fairly easy to use. also a dependency for some gameplay overhauls that edit combat. Hearthcraft: allows you to basically build just about anything you want, building wise. you can build your own damn farmstead in the boonies if you want to. requires hearthfire dlc iirc, but check the mod page to be certain.  iNeed/Realistic Needs and Diseases(P/*): both of these mods add a survivalism mechanic to the game that requires your character to eat, sleep, and drink in order to survive. RND is sort of the “legacy” edition, it’s older and more involved, but also a heavier load and requires patches. iNeed will work out of the box with just about any mod under the sun and is designed to be lightweight. i’ve used both and prefer iNeed, but its up to you. Last Seed(*): this is a needs mod by Chesko, the author of frostfall. it is still unfinished and in early alpha, with only the eating mechanic applied just yet. i’ve given it a try and loved the system, but ultimately missed managing drink/sleep so i decided to wait until the full release.  Religion - Prayer and Worship: adds religion and worship into the game. you can incur favors and even curses from the gods and daedric lords depending on your actions, pray at shrines, and meditate. i thought it was cool on a roleplay level, but this is fairly new in my LO so i can’t say i have extensive experience with it yet.  Simple Actions: adds a book of spells to riverwood inn that allows you to activate a power to use simple actions such as laying down or sitting in places you otherwise wouldn’t be able to. imo a must have in a survivalist run when you start out without a bedroll so that you can sleep without a tent.  Skyrim Unbound/Alternate Start - Live Another Life(*): both of these are alternate start mods, allowing you to skip the intro in helgen. alternate start has more modules to work alongside other mods (such as death alternative), but i’ve personally experienced issues with it in my current load order, probably due to the mod Go to Bed. if using ASLAL, disable go to bed until after you’ve started your game. Skyrim Unbound is configurable through the MCM and just easier to navigate with more specific options imo, so i prefer SU.  Immersive Patrols: adds patrols to the roads, so you’ll see dawnguard, stormcloaks, imperials etc. you’ll also see battles. can put a load on your engine due to loading in large battles sometimes so be wary. even with my system i have occasional ctds with this when i load into an area with a largescale battle going on, but i’ve honestly forgotten what skyrim looks like without this mod installed and wouldn’t go without it. 
[ARMOR/WEAPONS] [WEATHER/LIGHTING] [GAMEPLAY/COMBAT] [NEW LANDS/QUESTS]
*i’ll also eventually add links to the nexus for each of these mods but i want to get it all written up first.

9. Which character’s background story do you like the most?Everyone knows it’s Hog lmfao, it’s so good dude like very little is said about it but at the same time there’s just so much and then so much more when you decide to really stop and think about it. Honorable mention @ winston too
10. Which character’s background story do you like the least?Hmmm there are quite a lot I just straight up find not interesting, Zarya, once again. Or like Pharah I’m so just...  lukewarm about it lmfao. I know literally 96% of the fandom disagrees but idc

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax review -3 years after it came out- edition
This isn’t actually a review okay I just bought the game like two days ago and I have some thoughts.  ON HOW STUPID I WAS FOR NOT BUYING IT THREE YEARS AGO WHEN I ACTUALLY WANTED IT. If you were following me in 2013/2014 I talked about this game a lot, and that’s because my girl Erio Touwa is in this game. Hearing she was only a support bummed the hell out of me back then.  BUT I DIDN’T KNOW I DIDN’T KNOW SEGA WERE ABSOLUTE GODS okay I start the game up right? and and Kirino yells FIGHTING CLIMAX at me. I pop in to training mode, and try some of the characters out. The game controls more like Smash Bros than any other fighting game I’ve played. (Every character has the same inputs, but some have more reach, some have grab attacks, etc) and I cleared arcade mode once with Yukina from Strike The Blood because her spear has damn good reach. None of that is important though. because Erio is a support. She can do a couple of different things depending on inputs, but what’s important (and what past me didn’t know) is that SUPPORTS GIVE SUPPORT.  That sentence sounds really fucking dumb but THEY CHEER FOR YOU, VERBALLY WITH THEIR MOUTHS AHHHHH “Hey why’s that so exciting?” HOW’S IT NOT EXCITING?!?!?! I was in the middle of my first match, and I heard a brand new voice clip come from Erio’s mouth.  I almost cried. Actually I may have actually cried because remembering it is making me tear up and smile which is fucking gross yuck.  Erio saying brand new stuff not in the anime or radio shows or songs it was like a dream come true  GOTY 2015 10/10  Oh wait you can also customize your profile card thing (for online battles I assume) and yep, you guessed it ERIO BACKGROUND TWO COUNT EM TWO AVATARS but no signature :( I still think SEGA could have made her fully playable, but I am content with her being a support, all because of those new voice lines.  SEGA THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE GIFT OF NEW VOICE LINES I keep trying to end this but I just remembered there’s a NOVEL menu where you can look at the covers of the first volume books for all characters featured in the game (even supports) and YEP DOTSO VOLUME 1 RIGHT THERE got a trophy for looking at it bless you SEGA thank you okay final actual verdict is 10/10 new Erio voicelines thanks Asuka I love you
