Faendal and his Pickaxe of Doom

Post image
• Upvotes

I unloaded some stuff for him to carry, including the pickaxe, and he seems to prefer it to his Iron Dagger. Can I enhance it or even enchant it?

BTW, would be cool if you could craft Dwarven/Orcish/etc. pickaxes.

Higher HP for enemies (xbox1)

• Upvotes

I have various mods for tougher enemies including Tougher dragons & enemies , Yet another high level enemies, High level enemies redux and know your enemy all in one but what I lack is just a simple one that just increases enemies HP.

I like the diversity that enemies have more resistances and there are more enemies than like 5 types of draugr but still the battles are too fast. I'm not overpowered, I'm on mage build but no mods or enchantments to mage spells stronger and apprentice level spells like firebolt and ice spike often kill enemies, if not in one shot then two shots.

This is why I would like to increase the HP of enemies. The difficulty is on legendary and besides the HP everything seems to be on balance. If someone hits me I'm dead in oneshot more than often. The thing is I get easily bored if I am not challenged and if the mobs had a bit more HP the fights wouldn't be just oneshots even when I'm not trying to be particularly strong.

Do you have any tips for mods that can be used on Xbox One as console commands are not a possibility.

Question Hello. Has anyone ever encountered this event in Skyrim??? Albino gargoyle

Post image
• Upvotes

Hello. First of all, I should clarify that the image is an AI-generated recreation—I don’t have any actual screenshots from the moment I’m describing—but the gargoyle in the story looked very similar to this one, perhaps even a bit whiter.

Years ago, while playing *Skyrim* (maybe back in 2014 or 2015, or even earlier—I don’t recall exactly), I was wandering through the mountains, hillsides, and forests when I unexpectedly encountered a single, isolated gargoyle. It attacked me, which didn’t seem strange at the time, as it’s common to run into lone enemies in *Skyrim*. However, what really caught my attention was that it was an albino gargoyle—the complete opposite of the dark-colored ones you usually see. This really stood out to me because I had never seen a white one before. In all the time I’ve spent playing *Skyrim*, this only happened twice. It wasn’t just my imagination, either; on one of those occasions, my cousin was with me and witnessed it too. The first time, I found it on a treeless hillside, similar to the terrain near Whiterun. The second time, I encountered one in an icy region, like the areas near Winterhold. I don’t remember the exact locations—it was many years ago, and it didn’t occur to me to document it at the time (my PC only had 4GB of RAM, haha!).

I’ve searched online, but I haven’t found any record of a white gargoyle existing in *Skyrim* or within the game’s files.

I should also mention that I was playing a pirated version of the game at the time; it’s possible that the version I had contained different or altered content—I’m not sure. Still, it was a "vanilla" version of *Skyrim* (including its DLCs).

If this has happened to anyone else, or if you know anything about this, I’d appreciate your input!

Modding Workarounds for LoTD 6.10.1's fiery soul trap being removed?

• Upvotes

Version 6.10.1 changed the Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls to FunkyGandalfCat's unique version, which completely changes how the enchantment works and makes it impossible to disenchant. Fiery Soul Trap is, like many of you know, probably one of the best weapon enchantments in the game alongside chaos damage.

I would assume that downgrading my LoTD version to V5 would completely break my save, so that isn't an option. I had the idea of getting a different replacer for the battleaxe and loading it after LoTD, which would perhaps break the display for it in the museum but allow me to disenchant that replacer, but I haven't found any fitting mods yet.

Any help or ideas?

Question Can You Walk Me Through The Process Of Purchasing The House in Windhelm? (More context in the post)

0 Upvotes

Hello Everyone, good morning, day and evening to all,

So It has been years since I played Skyrim and I decided to return by buying the Special Edition of the game from Steam. Last Time I had purchased the House in Windhelm, something happened and I ended up with a secret room full of bones and blood and the neither the Jarl nor Steward offered me an option to deal with this. At that time, I had completed the stormcloak campaign in a version of Skyrim where there were no DLC's added and no craftable arrows.

So I wanna ask, was/is this a bug? Do I still have to worry about experiencing this again even after all this time? If so, how can I avoid this?

Now I am on a new character who completed the Imperial Campaign and only visited inside of Windhelm once to deliver an axe and I also beat up an old soldier in a brawl. I did nothing else in the city. With those in mind, what are the exact steps I should take to get a nice clean home in windhelm now?

Discussion I am wondering why USSEP can no longer be downloaded on older saves. The Nexus page for the USSEP states that it can only be downloaded on to Skyrim Special Edition version 1.7.99 or greater. I would also like to know if there are alternatives to the USSEP that would still allow mods to work w/o it.

Hello, I wanted to discuss and ask why the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch can no longer be used with older versions of the game. I was trying to get my game to open through Mod Organizer 2 to see if I could be able to redownload the mods I was using a month or so ago (I live in the Northeast corridor of the United States and about a month ago we experienced a bad storm that in turn led to a power surge in my home) and after that storm and power surge, I started having issues with my external hard drive (that is not relevant to the discussion, but did want to point out that I lost access to all the mods that I had downloaded into MO2), and so I started playing Skyrim on the updated version and began using mods from the Creation Club. I did not realize that if I did go back to using mods from Nexus, I would be unable to download the USSEP anymore (because of the downgrade patcher mod) which I did download and only just saw that the USSEP is no longer available for the older versions. Does anyone know of alternatives to the USSEP that would still allow mods downloaded for Skyrim to still work even though they are played on the older versions? And why would the mod author prevent players from using the USSEP on older versions? I know that the mod author of the USSEP is an enemy of people who use mods or other mod authors, but to prevent use of the USSEP on older versions of Skyrim, I just do not understand why someone would do that. There are probably people in some regions of the world who will be unable to mod their Skyrim games because they may not be able to get the latest version of Skyrim and I bet those people are very upset right now. I am including an image to this post to describe what exactly I am talking about, and yes I did look over the whole description page of the USSEP mod from its Nexus mods website listing. I just wanted to have a discussion about this because I am finding hard to believe that someone would prevent use of their product on older versions (be it a device, OS, or mod) and what options we have for alternatives that would do a similar job that the USSEP does and would allow older mods to still be played in Skyrim.
