Whenever I load up the game all of it feels repetitive as i have replayed it multiple times. I want some mods (bug fixes, performance [1050ti] rig, qol, quest, etc) that would make it replayable. Any way it can be the same game but a new experience? (Any alternative game recommendations are most welcome).

        But keep your expectations low: it is a large and quality made mod, but it is made by crazies. So using magic is punishable, no health replenishable… The story is new and well made though.

          Well, it’s harder in a lot of ways. But it’s not that bad. Using healing magic (even potions) comes at a cost. Most other magic is fine and has no drawback. There are other ways to heal though. Food heals a lot more but only works outside of combat. Shouts are now memories and there is one that steals health from defeated enemies. And there are other ways it is harder. Learning comes not from experience, but from books that you buy. Enemies don’t scale. They are fixed level at various places in the world. It’s a huge mod though with a great story and definitely worth playing.

      Damn that game is annoying, not fun or challenging, it’s just a bad walking simulator with some combat in it.

    I can’t help with mods, but other games scratched the same itch for me. The wild era zelda games (breath of the wild & tears of the kingdom) are a dead ringer, and I probably spent over 600 hours across both. The Horizon series (horizon: zero dawn, horizon: forbidden west) are really good. A bit more story than skyrim, less caves, but still lots to do, and if you don’t know the story, the first game has so much mystery in its world building thats fun to discover as you play!

    I prefer the fantasy genre, so similar sci fi games didnt do it as much for me, but some of the fallout games and the outer worlds games are similar gameplay. The Outer Worlds 1 is basically just Firefly but with less charming characters, but i mean its hard to compete with Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, and Alan Tudyk.

    Have you played survival mode? It’s a little annoying at first, but now that I’ve gotten into it it feels so natural and I almost can’t play on normal.

    Also, Red Dead Redemption 2.

      RDR2, I remember the time I had run it on an apu with lossless scaling but not as fond of it requires too much storage. I have janky solutions to play games, so my wife doesn’t find out.

      Also I have replayed it on survival too

    Try “Enderal”, a free total conversion of Skyrim. New world, lore, quests, skills, everything. It’s pretty good!

    Wabajjack mod lists are deffinetly a must try, something like Enderal or LoreRim

    I’d also check out a game called “The forgotten city”. Haven’t played it myself, but I did play the Skyrim mod it was based off of, and the story was solid, I liked it a lot. Or just try the mod itself.

      The Forgotten City is one of my favorite games. Like, legitimately. I wish SO BADLY I could play it again without knowing anything about it. I went in absolutely blind and learning about the world, rules, everything, it was INCREDIBLE. Go, anyone reading this, go play it blind right now. It’s not like Skyrim at all, just the engine it’s built on… but damn. I wanna say more but I can’t!

    Try “random start” mods.

    Instead of taking you thru the opening scenes of a big RPG like Skyrim, it just punts you to some random area so you can immediately start messing around

    A lot of games have big scripted events the first couple hours, being able to skip those helps it from feeling repetitive, because that’s the stuff you’ve done ever playthrough you’ve ever started.

        Fallout 3 is very similar to Skyrim.

        I’d suggest that.

        If you’re comfortable with modding, in suggest “A Tale of two wastelands” as this merges fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas into a single game.

        Fallout 1 and 2 are very different games. Good, but nothing like Skyrim.

        Fallout 4 feels very different, not in a bad way but it’s not got the charm of Skyrim or Fallout 3, that lovely feeling of finding things in a flawlessly crafted world.

    I would look at mod collections on nexus or wabbajack. Beyond that, there are mods that allow you to have a different start to the game than “so you’re finally awake”, which delay the main quest until you effectively start it yourself.

      I have heard about wabbajack, I should go through mod packs. Might find something interesting, Are you aware of any good ones?

    Did you try “beyond skyrim: bruma”? It’s only one province of the planned entirety of tamriel, but that was many excellent hours of exploration, and it feels like the plotlines are really going somewhere, whenever they get finished with the rest of cyrodiil. Shame there are some places that feel unfinished (because they involve other provinces), but that mystery made it more intriguing, in my opinion.

    Also, it has a soundtrack that I actually like more than the original skyrim soundtrack, and that is saying something.

    Edit: finally got down far enough in the other comments to see you’ve played it. Ah well.

    Apart from semi standard bug fix and texture mods.

    Try the ordinator mod for a complete overhaul of skill trees to be a lot more interesting. It also makes playing a caster a lot more interesting compared to the vanilla experience. You probably also want the uncapper mod to customize the amount of perks you get per level.

    Personally I also use material chest mods that are basically cheats to level crafting skills, I’m not interested in grinding them out multiple times. Up to you if you want to use them to gear yourself as well or not.

    If you want the game to feel truly different, you need to change your play style as well. Playing a dual wielding berserker is a lot different than a stealth archer.

    A streamer I like has been playing Avowed. It’s different in a lot of ways, and on modern detail levels it ends up being smaller, but I feel like it was maybe a bit over-criticized by players.

    Morrowind. Its older (should easily runnwell on your rig), and its combat mechanics are more similar to table-talk rpgs (an attack might look like it should hit, but the game internally rolls dice to see if it beats enemy armor etc.), but its an immensely better RPG experience compared to Skyrim.

    OpenMW is the most recommended way to play since its a reimplementation of the game engine, fixing various bugs and improving compatibility with modern computer systems while adding some modern features like shadows for terrain and more optimized lighting.

      i’ve tried it but i’m just waiting for skywind at this point. the original is a bit too dated for me.
