The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I think the main problem with third-party packs is they do change the style to suit their own intentions, whereas obviously the official pack will completely match the original art direction. I don't like the idea of playing through the game and the pack creators not realising a certain texture they modified extensively looks stupid in certain places where it's used.

Bam. This is the reason why I rarely ever use custom high res packs as they tend to never have the same "feel" as the originals.

Fuck yes. I want all of it and I want it now, especially the special magic combinations, vampire stuff, graphical stuff, and CRAB BATTLE. It's incredible that somehow in a single week of internal development of people just doing what they want, the developers managed to create more additions to the base game than some games get in numbered sequel releases.

Since i've just finished the game for the second time, I'm gona give it 3-6 months then play it again with the best mods.

About the whole mods wrecking the style of an area, this is one of the worst culprites.

Whiterun is meant to be a desolate hill top, not a bloody forest. The whole point in whiterun is to look like this:

[2d-chris]

yeah but whiterun is prob the ugliest city in the game - only cool bit was dragons reach area

[Zyn]

Not everyone is a fan of desolate areas ... like myself. Hell, I even published a mod that adds trees in and around Whiterun.

Deal with it

And currently I am looking into making a mod that makes survival in the Wilderness harder. Bear traps left behind by hunters everywhere, tougher hostile animals, etc. Sure, there are mods like that already but I want it my way.

fallout would look so much better with scores of pine forests. abandoned research labs or beached ships? pine forests don't give fucks, they'll grow anywhere.

[Sentura]

sahara desert? lol it was too barren so i added a huge ass forest

uncharted 3 needed more trees in the desert yo

I think it's all good as long as people understand what they're downloading. As established earlier in the thread, some people want the art direction to be as the game's designers intended — they don't want fans making decisions about which areas should be more lush, which should have a strikingly different look, etc. Then there are those who're totally OK with this.

As long as the makers of HD packs are clear about whether they're been faithful or not it's fine IMO. :derp:
