A few quick Steam Workshop mods to get you started in Skyrim
I'm assuming some of you are playing Skyrim for the first time now, since it was half-off for the Steam Summer Sale. (How over budget are you all, by the way?)
While TES Nexus is still the best place to get mods, Steam Workshop makes it so easy to automatically download them and install them.
If you're in the market for a new house, there are plenty to choose from. My personal favorite is a Dwemer Airship called the Asteria. This player house is beautifully done, very detailed, and has plenty of storage space. My only qualm is the lack of usable bookshelves, but everything else makes up for it. ...

Awesome, gonna start my game soon! Do you recommend a texture pack?
As an almost purely console gamer, the thought of mods is completely foreign to me. Are they allowable changes to the game? I love Skyrim, but have been kinda jealous of all the mods I've seen for the PC version.
Basically whatever people can think of they do. My only desire is they dot ruin any main or side story quests and are purely additive. So far, they seem to be in that realm or at least the ones I've seen.
But that doesn't "void your warranty" or anything like that?
Not at all. Bethesda provides the tools people use to make mods. It's encouraged.
Think of it like free DLC, created by the players.
Dude, that's rad. Someday I might need to buy a decent computer.
One other thing to note, at least with Bethesda games, using mods and/or console commands does not disable achievements.
Oh good. I mean the game is a pretty large sandbox if they put too many rails on it it wouldn't be as cool. Good it's as opened up as it is. Can't wait to fusrodah a Rabbit!
Just be careful when attacking chickens. Seriously.
We all learned that lesson in Link's Awakening ;-)
Thanks for the tip. They swarm I take it?
No, that was just a joke. Go ahead and attack!
Chickens don't swarm, but it's like they're marked as townsfolk or something, because everyone gets pissed and comes after you.
Oh, ok thanks! I don't typically play a game the first time breaking laws and stuff. I played Fallout 3 and got the best Karma.
Kind of want to do it again and blow up Megaton though.
I'm definitely getting this when I can afford a better PC. Maybe my Christmas list this year will just be a bunch of computer parts. :)
What's the record so far for post with the most comments? Cause this one has a bunch :)
Wow, I don't know, Ill run a query and see.
This is now the post with the most comments seconded by this: http://cheerfulghost.com/Tungsten/posts/169
Jon, just FYI, there's no real Karma system in Skyrim. You have a record of your highest bounties in all the different holds, but no fame/infamy like in Oblivion. People will remember your deeds though.
Good to know. Wonder how I'm going to play it? Though I did hear you can't pick a good or bad side because there really isn't one?
Exactly. You'll see (:
You can be clearly evil or clearly good, but there's a conflict that you pick a side on that isn't 100% clear. I won't spoil it, but I will tell you that I've gotten into days-long arguments on reddit about which one is the "right" one. :)
How do we rank now? Most comments yet? :)
The day I checked it was the number one conversation. So yeah, now its the number onedest deluxe!
Ok yeah wow apparently killing a chicken is a massive crime. I had to go to Whiterun, talk to a guard, pay a fine and then the villagers stopped hating me.
Killing a hunter? Fine? A chicken? YOU FIEND!
