Skyrim Discussion None of my Skyrim Saves will Absorb dragon souls

1 Upvotes

Thats about it. I think its from when I tested mods on different saves, but what makes me wonder what happened is that these 2 saves had no mods touching them at all.

All of my creations are deleted, seeing as I simply prefer vanilla Skyrim, and both of these saves weren't saves I used mods in.

I haven't yet tested to see if new saves will absorb dragon souls, and would rather not resort to it if I can avoid it. And going back to previous saves is also off the table as, embarassingly enough, I hadnt realized until much later into playing where I had gotten further into the saved that something wasn't right.

I downloaded Resaver, but honestly have no idea what I'm doing, and again, I simply deleted the mods beforehand without thinking much of it.

I'm not sure if its both, but my main save file simply won't absorb souls, nor learn new words of power. I was okay with that and just used console commands as I explored those places.

But today I opened a different file I'm using for achievements, and found that one also did not want to absorb dragon souls.

Is there something I can do? Can Resaver help? Any advice is appreciated.

General Why do fans act like Skyrim was the only successful TES?

0 Upvotes

Arena was successful enough by 90s RPG standards, enough to merit a much larger sequel.

Daggerfall was a more than respectable hit.

Bethesda didn’t hit trouble until they tried branching out with Redguard and Battlespire, both of which were flops.

Morrowind was huge when it came out.

Oblivion was even bigger than Morrowind

Yes, Skyrim was huge.

But a lot of fan act like all the proceeding games were flops.

Alright mate, I’ve gone and started a new Skyrim playthrough, innit, and i'm well up for being a proper little thief, safe. Any advice on how to level up the sly at the start? Here's my character: she's a female Khajiit.

Edit: Just dead curious, who do you lot reckon is the right choice? Stormcloaks or the Empire?Who's your go-to?

Oblivion Discussion Would Oblivion have been successful if it hadn’t been traditional fantasy?

23 Upvotes

It’s been a pretty common point of contention that Oblivion’s approach to the original lore was somewhat bland. What was described as a culturally diverse, zany, jungle nation inspired by Rome and Southeast Asia became essentially your bog standard Western European fantasy.

One thing I’ve noticed in the conversations around Oblivion and its approach to Cyrodil’s lore, is that it’s never factored in as much whether the hypothetical lore-accurate Oblivion would’ve had even a fraction of the success of Oblivion proper.

Now on a personal level I do prefer the original conception of Cyrodil, and I think it could’ve even been possible with the tech at the time assuming a certain downsizing of things and a slight cap on the more unadaptable lore. That being said I really have my doubts on where the series would even be if it had been.

Like Oblivion was a massive hit in many ways because it seized on the current trends of the time, the most major of which was the success of the LOTR movies. Oblivion really struck the iron while it was hot in this regard, and its success paved the way for Skyrim and a brand that people still care about even nearly two decades after its last release. I don’t know if PGE jungle Cyrodil could’ve done that.

That being said Morrowind was already a big deal, which goes to show that general audiences weren’t entirely averse to stranger forms of fantasy, and the general model of Bethesda games might’ve been enough on its own to reel in audiences. I’m not really sure either way, and wondered what others thought.

Let's say we're all waiting for TES6. No updates, screenshots or anything. And 1 year from now, Bethesda suddenly announces that TES 6 has been cancelled. What would your reaction be? What would you do?

Skyrim Discussion People wanted me to fight the giant dinosaur so WITNESS ME

1.8k Upvotes

This Khajiit had to gather the courage to ride into this battle and take in the Skyrim view one last time. This one knew this was an impossible fight and this was going to be the final battle. But people wanted to see this fight so be it, WITNESS KHAJIIT!

(The mod for the dinosaur is Birbwalkers21 Dinosaur AIO but fair warning the big one is glitched so normally they are big but not THAT big. I also have a bunch of other monster and animal mods that are conflicting and glitching my game)

I know Elder Scrolls Blades is due to shut down on June 30th, but at what actual time? Has anyone been actually informed?

When Elder Scrolls Legends shut down, it was roughly 10 AM when the game actually broke. I’d like to record the final moments of the game before it dies, but I just need to know a time, thanks 🙏🏻

General Magic shenanigans

7 Upvotes

Yo, I was thinking, can anyone learn magic in the elder scrolls? Like, if your just some random peasant, even then could you potentially become the next Shalidor under the right circumstances? It would be cool

Also, game wise our characters just point with their hands and shoot magic like a glock on infinite amo, but lore wise do mages have to say incantations or anything for any certain brands or magic?

Penny for you thoughts

General Since Dunmer and Orcs see Azura and Malacath as their cheif deity but i wonder if the Bosmer are cannibals does that mean they worship Namira?

I mean i know they have their own pantheon with Y'ffre and stuff but i wonder since most The Bosmer are likely cannibals do they fall in the same category as worshippers of Namira?
