    @Gryphes2k
    Islam is a religion and Muslims are the ppl who follows it. Im a Muslim, but regarding religion most of it has only one God,it's just politics and corruption that's ruining the theme of it and people are judging themselves by this. think mass effect or Skyrim, We all are Humans..lol...same being not some aliens !!

    The spider should be able to climb up walls, the dragon should fly and attack as well as the other mounts!!!

    Hmm, the mystical mounts is disappointing. Good idea, but they're really not useable.

    @iHarlequin Looks spiffy. Thanks!

    @SHEETBIKE It's a Daedric artifact called 'Dawnbreaker'. You get it for completing the daedra Meridia's quest. And yes, it looks awesome (and it glows brighter when near undead).

    @Gryphes2k Yeah.. except my country is one of the most ethnically diverse in the world, and we don't have any issues with that. I don't think you'll find a single case of people being denied their religious rights here :/. But w.e.

    Apologies if this has already been asked, but what sword is that during the Warzones - Civil Unrest mod? Never seen that before.

    Why are you arguing racist bullcrap in comments about Skyrim mods? Save it for Stormfront / your local Klan meeting.

  • Renoo27

    Think I'm gonna start watching this regularly now I got Skyrim. Just a shame I got it on 360 lol.

    Damn, did i say Islam is a race?

    I'd prefer mods that actually enhance the game, instead of just dressing it up as a silly clown.

    @iHarlequin
    you will realize my point when one day those "ethnic people" kick ur butt and take u out from ur home land.

    Stop showing crappy mods.
    Also this thing with the chickens is no longer funny.
    I only want awesome mods and no BS.

  • Jaalleexx

    Posted Mar 19, 2012 1:12 am GMT

    I downloaded about 30-40 mods, and when I loaded the last save, some people had o faces, others no hair, if I entered any house, the screen turned black, and finally the game crashed 5 minutes later....

  • iHarlequin

    Posted Mar 18, 2012 8:46 pm GMT

    @Gryphes2k nitpicky. Fine, ethnic slur if you'd rather. My point remains.

  • jon2435

    Posted Mar 18, 2012 6:08 pm GMT

    Keep blasting stuff with chickens.

    @iHarlequin
    I didn't insult anyone in fact Muslim isn't a race lol

    There can never be enough exploding chickens!

  • opustheduck

    Posted Mar 18, 2012 3:36 pm GMT

    we need mods that reintroduce dwemer, snow elves, and possibly MORE DARK BROTHERHOOD!!! >

  • GamerLegend10

    Not sure if Gryphes2k was joking or not...i hope he was, but i have the feeling he wasn't.

  • FatmanAB

    Posted Mar 18, 2012 2:45 pm GMT

    i guess one of the biggest advantages of the next gen console will be user content (or MODS)

  • iHarlequin

    Posted Mar 18, 2012 1:33 pm GMT

    @Gryphes2k we would rather you abstain from your racial slander. Great video, I always end up finding a mod I enjoy that isn't endorsed much (aka I don't see it when I browse the nexus/steam workshop), pity we have to deal with comments like yours.

    Concerning the video, keep this weekly thing up. Very nice .

    @Salehjamal
    I didn't insult anyone but you called me "fool"
    *REPORTED* I hope moderates will take a suitable action.

    @Gryphes2k
    I am a Muslim, and i am finding this preety offensive.
    Also enjoy being racist!!!

  • Salehjamal

    Posted Mar 18, 2012 12:28 pm GMT

    @Gryphes2k: You are desperately trying to sound civil and educated about what you are talking about to the point you sound like a complete ignorant stereotypical fool.

    @Ruler-of-nation
    expressing the truth is sometimes considered as offensive. so I would rather abstain from it in here.

    @gibbg LOL...a reaper invasion on Skyrim? That could never hap-I AM ASSUMING CONTROL-

    @Gryphes2k And what's wrong with being a Muslim??

    Posted Mar 18, 2012 9:43 am GMT

    If only I had a decent rig. Would have gotten it for pc instead.

  • shanethewolf

    Posted Mar 18, 2012 9:26 am GMT

    It's great that the PC gets mods for Skyrim, but there are only a handful of mods actually worth downloading. The rest are just gimmicks.

    I loved the idea of Dynavision, but in practice I was very disappointed. It looks very unnatural and distracting the way it jumps suddenly in and out of focus.

    I'm so glad I got a PC that can run this game.

    Skyrim is still a talking topic. Sad it didn't win at BAFTA though.
