Skyrim

Looks like no new post about Skyrim has been made here for several months. As a big Skyrim fan, I feel this is just wrong. So, I will post about Skyrim until I get an echo from the void...

I will kick off by being controversial. Many Skyrim fans mock Nazeem. I just feel sorry for the guy: he had a good life, full of purpose and satisfaction, as a Skyrim farmer. Then he sold his farm, retired to Whiterun, where he is wasting all his hard-earned money by trying to slime his way into high society, dressing like a knob, and talking down to people that are still living the kind of life he left behind. His wife now despises him, he has no friends, and the toffs he fawns on all laugh at him. He doesn't even have a pet dog. He is a lost soul. He needs someone to tell him to buy himself another farm before he loses his last septim and get back to living a life that gives him dignity and happiness. His wife would probably back that 100%. Do Skyrim fans care? Nope, they are all down on the guy because in his misery he mocks them. It is just projection, I tell you. His projection, and the fans projecting back at him. People in this category all need to live better lives and find self-respect.

On the other hand, no one ever criticises Hod, the work-shy lumberjack in Riverwood, who encourages his son to sexually abuse farm animals. Nope, that is just a regular guy doing normal parenting /s. This scumbag gets no pushback from his nasty wife, who simply looks the other way while her son turns into a psychopath with dad's help. Hod is even looked up to by his dog, Stump. How is that not making you nauseous, fans of Skyrim? Plus the poor cow he keeps in his garden for his son to abuse... are you just going to shrug and walk away? Me, I always kill Hod, and often adopt his son to give the boy a chance to grow up normal away from his evil parent. Moo-Moo and Stump live on in Riverwood, happy and safe. It is how it should be, fellow Dragonborns! Hating Hod is the only honourable and healthy way to be,

So, fellow Skyrim fans - who do you think worse? Nazeem or Hod? Or can you name someone worse than Hod? Convince, I think not.

Skyrim doesn't get any more skyrimy than this IMO

Reddit's moderation teams are so compromised. Hopefully Lemmy offers a space to discuss Skyrim modding without censorship. If you've experienced similar issues with LoreRim or Biggie, please share your story below.

Sharing the full post in case it gets removed (edit: it got removed):

My recent Reddit post exposing unethical practices by LoreRim's curator, Biggie, was removed from both r/skyrim and r/skyrimmods by moderator Crystlazar under false pretenses. The post detailed was as follows:

---

(Update: My original post was removed by r/skyrimmods mods for "inviting drama", but this is about accountability, not gossip. Screenshots and evidence below.)

Let's cut through the gaslighting. Biggie, curator of the LoreRim modlist, is charging $250 via Ko-fi for "commissions" to add mods to his list, yet delivering broken products and silencing any critics from his Discord. Worse, he's scrubbing criticism from YouTube and Reddit.

The Undeath mod (+Classical Lichdom) was added as a $250 commission. According to the mod page, the "Necrotic Rejuvenation" healing feature is a core progression mechanic. But in LoreRim, it is bugged and does not work. There have been multiple complaints on his Discord server about this. When I questioned this, Biggie claimed it was intentionally "disabled" despite giving zero documentation.

Evidence:

• Screenshots of the Discord exchange (during a timeout period before I was banned).

• No mention of disabled Necrotic Rejuvenation being a "feature" on Classical Lichdom's Nexus page.

All his sycophants say "Be grateful! It's a free modlist!" But when you charge $250 per mod addition, you're running a business, not a charity. Entire games cost a fraction of that price.

His Discord server and community have a playbook of:

1. Gaslighting: After I reported the bug, LoreRim's team first claimed it wasn't a bug, then called it a "known bug", and then eventually "intentional" with no proof.

2. Deflection: Biggie ranted in Discord about all the other Reddit posts, YouTube comments and reviews, all about his behaviour, calling them out as jealous and misconceptions, framing them all as haters and it's to be expected when you get as famous as he seems to think he is.

3. Censorship: I was banned within minutes of implying it's more likely he doesn't know how to fix the bug, and he instead ripped off the commissioner who spent $250 to get a working implementation of Undeath in his modlist. His cronies piled on, calling me ungrateful for.. *checks notes*.. right, expecting functional paid content.

Now onto the cover-up. My first post here was deleted for "drama". He has some insider with the skyrimmods subreddit. His YouTube followers who previously had comments enabled have changed their commenting rules so that it has to be reviewed first before a comment becomes visible. It's a pattern. Biggie's team is scrubbing critical posts, YouTube comments, and Discord logs to hide his grift. If you're on the LoreRim server, search my username while you still can (wouldn't surprise me if they've doctored any related conversations since my last post).

TL;DR

• $250 commissions ≠ donations. Biggie is promoting paid modding with zero accountability.

• Criticism = ban. Biggie's ego can't handle basic questions.

• Check your receipts. Don't commission. If you do, demand transparency.

Lorerim's creator is exploiting goodwill, then weaponising his mod teams to bury complaints. Share your stories before they're erased too.

(Update #2: This post was temporarily unavailable due to Biggie's team mass reporting to get it taken down. They really don't want this visible to the public, everyone. Please thank the moderators for restoring it.)

(Update #3: Would you believe he actually published a post on his Discord server singling out this very thread, rallying his entire community to brigade it in a blatant attempt to manipulate public perception?)

---

The same moderator who removed the original r/skyrimmods post also intervened in that post, fabricating reasons to delete that post immediately after he was called out here (which he has clearly tried to cover up since the interaction).

After appealing the removal of my post exposing LoreRim's $250 botched commissions (which I'm pretty sure violates Wabbajack's Terms of Service according to some commenters) and Biggie's censorship tactics, the r/skyrim mod team doubled down on suppression. You can see their response to my request for reinstatement here. Both removals were orchestrated by Crystlazar, who dismissed evidence and defended Biggie with unverified claims. The r/skyrim mods falsely accused me of "slander" for simply questioning their impartiality.

I'll reiterate again here what the key issues are that I'm trying to now bring to light for the entire community:

• Accountability & Transparency: Charging $250 for broken mod integrations is exploitation, not a "service". Biggie's team scrubs criticism from YouTube, Discord, and Reddit.

• Skyrim Moderators: Crystlazar's biased enforcement suggests coordination with Biggie to silence critics.

Biggie actually replied to my last post calling me a "cry baby" (as he has many others) and my post a "piece of sh*t" for daring to stand up to him in this medium. Do with that as you will.

TLDW; She's getting tired and doesn't feel like making videos anymore. She also mentions that she's getting eye surgery, but that seems to not be related to her retirement. She'll probably still make a video here and there.

I'm pretty sure this is OC but I can't guarantee I didn't see this meme elsewhere, forget that I saw it, and recreate it accidentally.

Probably nothing new for you all. But I think the Deathbrand Armor without helmet looks amazing. Really like that high collar.

A comparison I typed up 7 years ago that seems to have helped a few people choose between Dawnguard vs Volkihar.

Dawnguard gets:

• Pet huskies
• Pet armoured trolls
• Master Level trainers in Archery, Heavy Armor, Restoration, and Smithing.
• A couple followers
• Better crossbows
• Easier access to Dwarven and Elemental bolts
• Easier access to the spells Stendarr's Aura and Vampire's Bane
• Chance to convince Serana to cure her vampirism.
• Attacked by Volkihar Vampires. (I think) Guards/Citizens will get involved with the fight, risking their own lives to help.

Volkihar gets:

• Pet death hounds
• Master Two-Handed trainer and Expert speech trainer
• Thralls in the castle you can feed on
• The Ring of the Erudite, Ring of The Beast, Amulet of The Gargoyle, and Amulet of Bats
• The Bloodstone Chalice, to enhance your vampiric powers
• A free player home with merchants (the castle itself)
• The chance to turn your spouse into a vampire
• Easier access to Necromantic Healing and Heal Undead
• Attacked by the Danguard in the wild. Guards/citizens won't help with the fight.

Both sides get:

• Serana as a follower
• Auriel's Bow and Bloodcursed arrows
• Access to Vampire Lord form and Bloodcursed Arrows*
• Durnehviir
• Radiant quests to kill vampires**

• As long as Serana is still a vampire ** Yes, Members of Clan Volkihar will request that you go kill vampires. Don't think the Dawnguard are the only ones upset at random vampires attacking towns!

So I have a “master mage” character. I don’t play it anymore but my niece (8 years old) likes to play it. Well, im just on my phone when I just happened to look up and I saw her cast paralyze on an imperial guard, then cast fear, then blast them with lighting storm.

So I asked her why she casted Paralyze and fear.

She said the guard was rude to her, and that she wanted him to feel helpless, wanting to run away in fear, but not being able to because of the paralyzing spell, as she disintegrated him.

How do you choose to play the game? Do you enjoy questing, or prefer seeing the world and messing around? Do you consider yourself a roleplayer, or are you more "serious" about the game? How vanilla do you like your game? Fresh as a new download, a little bit of QoL, or total overhaul? Cheese or no cheese?

Lemmy's version of r/place is live and I made the logo's outlines, go fill it in!

I found out you can bind weapons to your number keys instead of going to your inventory each time...
