1 IntroductionYou think Skyrim has the potential to be great, but suffers from certain aspects being implementedrather lackluster?

Then you’ve come to the right place, friend. I’m T3nd0, a modder trying to make Skyrim asenjoyable as possible by unleashing it’s potential. Take a seat and read on - it’ll be worth it.

Skyrim is awesome. I’ve invested hundreds of hours in this game, even before the CreationKit started. I love Skyrim’s atmosphere, I like the new perk system (compared to Oblivion’s"character progression", that felt like clawing your own eyes out), and hell, I even enjoy thecombat. But once you’ve seen most of the stuff, you’ll realize that a lot of elements lack depthand could’ve been done so much better.

I’ve spent lots of hours modding this game, improving not a single aspect, but everything.Here’s what you’ll find in this mod:

• The best perk trees on the Nexus Use Speechcraft to sharpen your Thu’um, Conju-ration to harvest bones and reassemble skeletons, Alteration to imbue magic into yourweapon or Sneak to diguise as Forsworn. Specialize in Wakizashis, Tantos, Longswords,Katanas, Shortbows or Longbows, Nodachi or Bastard Sword. Or subdue entire Riverwoodto be a vampire overlord... the possibilities are great.

• The best racial abilities on the Nexus SkyRe is the origin of RaRe, which used to bethe most popular mod for vanilla races on the Nexus, and lives on as SkyRe_Races. Noboring copy-pasted abilities and stats from Oblivion/Morrowind; instead, powerful, newabilities for everyone, be it Imperial or Breton.

• Dangerous enemies, rewarding combat Enemies are smarter than ever, and every hitcounts. Be prepared for foes that block and bash you, that are more randomized, and thathave perks. And be prepared to keep track of your stamina, or else you’ll end up weakenedand slowed...

• More balance and immersion No more "I AM GOD" after grinding Enchanting to 100,no more sneaking in full heavy armor, no more crappy destruction spell damage.

• More of everything Craft new arrow types, summon new familiars, cast new buffs andauras, use the new touch spells to sneak attack, or use the hundreds of new recipes.

• Synergy By modding everything, I make sure stuff plays well together, and has a lot lessbugs than one might expect. And needless to say, a bunch of mods designed to play welltogether won’t cause compatibility conflicts, while a lot of random small mods do.

Sounds nice? Then give it a try.Regards and thanks for listening,

T3nd0

2 What you need• You’ll need to start a new game or make a clean save, or else your perks, and possibly

other stuff, will most likely be messed up.

• You’ll also need Elys Uncapper for a lot of stuff, since I’ve designed everything with a cap of300 in mind. It’s not a MUST, but, to kinda quote SMB, neither is bathing. Think about it.Link to Elys uncapper http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=1175

• For Elys Uncapper, you’ll also need the SKSE, so get it as soon as possible. Get SKSE athttp://skse.silverlock.org/

• Skyrim

3 What you get3.1 Items, Gameplay and Races

3.1.1 Combat, Weapons, Enemies

NOTE: Many of these elements can be toggled on/off in game. See the FAQ .

• Did a "deep merge" with "Weapons of the Third Era"

• Renamed vanilla swords to Broadswords, Wot3E swords to Longswords, Wot3E Longswordsto Bastard Swords, and most bows to Shortbows or Longbows.

• All weapon types have distinct stats (speeds, reach, damage, chance to stagger).

• All weapon types have distinct keywords and perks. Read on in the perk section.

• Modified armor to be less effective (- 1/6), you’ll need better armor to reach the cap.

• Considerably reduced reach for melee and bash attacks (141 → 100).

• Blocking an attack costs stamina, depending on weapon type. Big weapon → High staminacost.

• Attacking costs stamina, depending on the weapon type. Big weapon → High staminacost.

• Stamina influences everything:

- Damage dealt is depending on the percentage of your remaining stamina.- Blocking effectiveness is depending on your remaining stamina.- Attack speed is depending on your remaining stamina.

http://skse.silverlock.org/

CHAPTER 3. WHAT YOU GET Up

- Movement speed is depending on your remaining stamina. (console: "set xxxStami-naSpeed to 0" turns it off "set xxxStaminaSpeed to 1" turns it on)

• Attack speed is generally lower (85% of vanilla Skyrim before any debuffs)

• All weapons and unarmed attacks get a considerable flat damage boost.

• Armor passively protects from arrows, based on the number of pieces you wear. You havea passive chance to half incoming arrow damage.

- Heavy Armour:- 1 piece → 12% chance to reduce incoming arrow damage by 85% / incoming dag-ger/sword/greatsword damage by 30%

- 2 pieces → 25% chance to reduce incoming arrow damage by 85% / incoming dag-ger/sword/greatsword damage by 30%

- 3 pieces → 51% chance to reduce incoming arrow damage by 85% / incoming dag-ger/sword/greatsword damage by 30%

- 4+ pieces → 83% chance to reduce incoming arrow damage by 85% / incomingdagger/sword/greatsword damage by 30%

- Light Armour:- 1 piece → 11% chance to reduce incoming arrow damage by 50% / any incomingweapon damage by 15%

- 2 pieces → 23% chance to reduce incoming arrow damage by 50% / any incomingweapon damage by 15%

- 3 pieces → 44% chance to reduce incoming arrow damage by 50% / any incomingweapon damage by 15%

- 4+ pieces → 75% chance to reduce incoming arrow damage by 50% / any incomingweapon damage by 15%

Also

- Getting hit without blocking might cause stagger.- Getting hit by a two-handed melee weapon with a power attack while not blockingmight strike the target to the ground.

- Being staggered by a weapon reduces armor and magic resistance by 50 / 25% fortwo seconds.

- Getting hit without blocking will always cause a debuff.* The debuff affects all incoming damage and incoming stagger* It has greater magnitude when coming from a power attack and/or big weapon* It lasts longer when coming from a power attack and/or big weapon

•• At the start of SkyRe, you’ll be given an "unarmed weapon". Use it to do attack withyour fists. It is tied to "Light Weaponry" and will grow in strength. Do NOT use it duringbrawls.

• Modified humanoid AI

6


- Enemies attack more often- Enemies block more often- Enemies get a lot more aggressive when ganging up on someone- Enemies are a lot better at bashing while you power attack- Enemies attack more often while you’re staggered

• Increased rating of heavy armor by 9 points across the board Heavy armor should beconsiderable more protective than light armor, and this was necessary, due to the "lessprotection per armor point"-change Heavy Armor slows you down, more pieces → slowermovement, up to a maximum of 16%

• Changed Magicka regen factor during combat to 0.5.

• Changed Stamina regen factor during combat to 0.66.

• Changed Health regen factor during combat to 0.5.

• Modified enemy leveling, just humanoids and Falmer (for now?). Basically, vanilla enemieshad a fixed level, no matter when you encounter them. I changed that by the followingrules:

- Enemies of level x now vary between 2/3x and 4/3x, for example: Level 10(vanilla)→ Level 5 - Level 15 (modded)

- High level enemies and boss level enemies scale up to level 100- Enemies at vanilla level 1 scale between 1 and 3.- Thieves and random Assassins have a new max level of 100, and level at the samespeed as the player.

• Modified arrow speed, arrow impact factor, max distance and gravity influence, mostlybased on material.

• Disabled auto aim support for all arrows

• Added more perks to enemiesBandits: Multiple ranks of "Barbarian","Armsman" and "Overdraw", and also up to sixranks of "Agile Defender". Mages get Destruction Spell Scaling.Draugr: Basically the same as Bandits. No armor perks, but Defender.Falmer: Destruction spell scaling and up to three ranks of Juggernaut. Forsworn: Destruc-tion spell scaling and up to four ranks of "Agile Defender". Truth be told, they already haveheaps of perks, and are dangerous f*****s. Imperials/Stormcloaks: Defender, Armsman,Barbarian, Overdraw, and Agile Defender.Thalmor: Armsman, Agile Defender, Mystic Binding, Careful StudiesVampires: Destruction spell scaling. They wear no armor, have a few perks, and arestrong already.All types of mages: Destruction spell scaling and multiple ranks of "Careful Studies".Like vampires, they are already dangerous.Witches/Hags: Destruction spell scaling and multiple ranks of "Careful Studies". Notthat they are impressive, but they don’t offer much space for improvement, since theirnumbers are rather limited. Assassins: Armsman, Barbarian, Dual Flurry, Agile DefenderThiefs: Armsman, Dual Flurry, Agile Defender

• Tweaked the enemy level multipliers. Slightly higher on all difficulties now.

• Reduced enemy respawn times for both cleared and uncleared cells by 50%.

• Fixed and modified various weapon keywords and stats.

3.2 Racial abilities

3.2.1 Redguards

• Removed "Resist Poison"

• Removed "Adrenaline Rush"

• Added "Alik’r Training"

• Added "Defensive Stance"

Being the most talented warriors in all of Tamriel, "Alik’r Training" gives them a headstart inmelee combat, increasing stamina by 50. "Defensive Stance" is great to control the flow of battle,and gives Redguards an unique feel. It’s atoggleable lesser power that slows time by 15% whileactive, reduces incoming damage by 25% and reduces all outgoing damage by 75%. Use it often.

3.2.2 Nords

• Removed "War Cry"

• Added "Warrior Heart"

Nords are fierce warriors, and I think the new ability suits someone who fight until the bitterend. Your damage output increases as your health decreases. If you are at x% health, the damageboost is roughly (100-x)%.

3.2.3 Imperials

• Removed "Imperial Luck"

• Removed "Voice of the Emperor"

• Added "Imperial Charisma"

• Added "Tactician"

• Added "Attack Order"

• Added "Guard Order"

They used to be crappy ability-wise. Now they fill a niche by having the strongest followers,since "Attack Order" and "Guard Order" allow you to adjust your followers’ speed, attack damageand incoming damage, depending on what’s necessary at the moment (offense or defense). Bothare lesser powers that can be used every ten minutes and last for five minutes. "Imperial Charisma"modifies buying and selling prices, and "Tactician" damages an attacker’s stamina by 10% if theattack was blocked.

8


3.2.4 Argonians

• Removed "Resist Disease"

• Added "Protective Scales"

• Added "Claws"

• Heaviliy modified "Histskin"

"Protective Scales" reduces damage from all blade-based weapons by 25%, fitting a scaledlizard."Waterbreathing" stays, as it is pure RP and sometimes handy. The new Histskin worksentirely different than the old one; basically, you can switch between "disabled" (everything asusual), "Health","Magicka" and "Stamina" mode. The latter three double the regeneration oftheir respective value, but negate the other two. Sounds like a bad deal? I bet there are a fewuses you can think of. :) Also added "Claws", which is the same ability as Khajiit have (thatmeans the bonus scales with stamina).

3.2.5 Wood Elves

• Removed "Resist Disease and Poison"

• Removed "Command Animal"

• Added "Wild Hunt"

• Added "Avoidance"

• Added "Wood Lore"

I replaced the useless/generic abilities with stuff that turns Bosmer into supreme huntersand archers, just as it should be. "Wild Hunt" increases bow damage against all non-NPS by50%, "Avoidance" ignores incoming arrow damage with a chance of 50%, and "Wood Lore" allowsyou to enhance all arrows with a magical infusion at a forge. Infused arrows explode on impact,paralyzing all targets for one second, and reduce their one-handed and two-handed damage by30% for ten seconds. Crafting these arrows requires 15 arrows, two empty petty soul gems andthree spider eggs (creates bundles of 5).

3.2.6 High Elves

• Removed "Regenerate Magicka" higher power

• Added lesser power "Channel Magicka"

I considered a flat boost to spell magnitude as well, but this is way more interesting. "ChannelMagicka" allows you to enhance both your spell magnitude and cost by x, where x is yourremaining magicka (percentage). Burn your magicka fast for better spells, switch tacticallybetween "Channel" "non-Channel" mode, depending on enemies. Suits the image of Tamriel’smost talented mages.

9


3.2.7 Dark Elves

• Heavily modified "Ancestor’s Wrath"

• Added "Ancestor’s Fury"

ON ENEMIES, Ancestor’s Fury now triggers automatically, once you get hit and drop below50% health, and is not limited to one use per day. In addition to the flame cloak spell, it alsoadds 50% additional strength to fire-based spells. The flame cloak effect starts at a damage of 5per second, but grows by 3 every 10 levels, up to a maximum of 17 (before bonuses are calculatedin, including it’s own). ON THE PLAYER, it also carries the fire bonus, but no cloak is cast;instead, you’ll get a 15% chance to avoid incoming physical damage. Players also get "Ancestor’sFury": Once per day, if your health drops below 30%, you trigger a huge explosion and two angryDunmer ancestors arrive to aid you. They are leveled and use strong weaponry.

3.2.8 Bretons

• Removed "Dragonhide"

• Added spell "Twin Blood Summoning"

• Added spell "Twin Blood Eruption"

This is a very interesting one. Both new abilities are spells, not powers, but still can be castonce per only, in total. That means just one cast of one spell per day. Both spells take extremelylong to cast and reduce health and stamina by 90% once completed (no magicka cost), and alsonegate your passive magic resistance for two minutes. Why bother casting? Well, they havesupreme effects once pulled off. "Twin Blood Summoning" allows you to summon an unlimitednumber of creatures while active, and "Twin Blood Eruption" doubles spell magnitude of allspells, while halving casting cost. High risk, high gain.

3.2.9 Orcs

• Added "Orcish Smiting Lore" (25% improved tempering)

• Modified "Berserker Rage"

"Berserker Rage" is a good power, strong and with RP-value, so it stays, but changed. Insteadof being limited to one use per day, it can now be used multiple times, but it is required to sleepbetween uses. While active, you still deal double damage, and all incoming damage is reducedby 25% now (includes magic). However, the activation costs health, and while raging, benevolentpotions are 75% less effective, so use some tactic. I also wanted to give them an additionalpassive buff though, and "Orcish Smithing Lore" seems perfect.

3.2.10 Khajiit

• Added "Feline Athletics"

• Added "Survival Instinct"

• Tweaked "Claws"

• Tweaked "Night Eye" to be permanent/toggleable

10


I want Khajiit to feel like agile cats, and increasing movement speed and reducing fallingdamage via "Feline Athletics" (+ 25% speed, half falling damage) seems like a logical step to thisgoal. "Survival Instinct" triggers once per day, if your health drops below 25%, and increses attackspeed, and movement speed even further. The bonus on "Claws" is now stamina dependent; theformula is x += (0.1*stamina).

3.3 Standing Stones• Warrior Stone: Unchanged

• Thief Stone: Unchanged (does NOT boost vampirism, though)

• Mage Stone: Unchanged

• Apprentice Stone: Gives 100% magicka regen boost and 50 magicka, but -50% magicresist.

• Serpent Stone: Gives a 50% bonus to sneak attacks, but 20% malus on all attacks iftarget is alerted.

• Lord Stone: Gives 25% magic resist, increases damage from non-magical attacks by 25%.

• Atronach Stone: Gives 150 magicka, spell absorb unchanged, almost negates magickaregen (-95%).

• Lady Stone: Boosts stamina and health regen by 50%, reduces magicka regen by 50%.

• Steed Stone: Carry weight increased by 150 and 25% frost resistance, but 50% fireweakness.

• Lover’s Stone: Doubles melee damage dealt, triples melee damage received

• Tower Stone: Effect has unlimited uses now.

• Shadow Stone: 25% boost to pickpocket chance, 25% higher buying prices

• Ritual Stone: Triples duration of summons, at the cost of 25% spell magnitude for otherspells.

• Modified "reanimate"-type spells to not provoke annoying comments anymore.

• Reduced base Magicka regen on all playable races by 50%.

3.5 VampirismThe vanilla vampires are boring and generic, and they have no connection to the in-game VolkiharLore (Skyrim’s own breed of vampires) at all. I changed that by modifying vampire abilities andprogression, and by adding a distinct perk tree for vampires.

This section does not describe the new perk tree; scroll down to section 4.19 to find out moreabout that.

in SkyRe, all vampires start with the following abilities:

• Hunter’s sight (permanent/toggleable)

• Resist Disease (unchanged)

• Weakness to Sunlight (unchanged, but can be influenced by perks)

• Tainted Blood: Reduces magnitude of all Restoration spells to zero, except auras, plaguesand curses

• Vampiric Blood: Blood Deprivation (Armor is reduced by x, where x is the number ofdays without feeding * 25)

• Vampiric Blood: Frost Resist (Starts at 60%, gets reduced by 5% per day withoutfeeding, minimum: 15%)

• Vampiric Blood: Fire Weakness (Starts at 30%, grows by 5% per day without feeding,maximum: 75%)

That means you should better not avoid feeding for too long, as you just get weaker. Also, itmeans that vampires, without perk investment, are rather neutral to play. You have some hassle,the reduced regen and reduced fire resistance, but a very nice bonus to Illusion, great frost resist,and some utility stuff. Also you’ll not get attacked for being a vampire, and NPC vampires willconsider you a friend.

The perks are necessary to make stuff really interesting though.

17

4 Perk related changes4.1 General StuffAs I’ve already noted, this mod has been created with elys uncapper in mind. In my opinion, itallows you to play the game in a way that makes a lot more sense, because it does not force yourmage to train in two-handed weapons to gain levels at some point.

As a result, I’ve added new ranks to many skills, even if not explicitely mentioned below(unless it made zero sense). Also, some of the entirely new perks are completely out of reachwith a skill cap of 100. Your game should not crash if you refuse to use SKSE and the uncapper,but it’ll be less fun.

tl,dr: Use the uncapper or deal with the consequences.

4.2 ConjurationThis is the tree that has undergone the most changes. I wanted some more distinction betweenthe different branches (Necromancy vs. Atromancy). Neither branch skill was really importantto success, and both lead to Twin Souls, which is the main sellling point here.

Thus, I came up with something. Daedra (Atronachs and Dremora) now have a considerableshorter summoning time (30/45 sec), while undead stuff is permanent on all levels. However,all undead will turn to ashes when being killed, unless you invest in a new perk of mine,"Gravebound".

All Atronachs and Dremora level with you, initially at half of your speed (Atronachs) and atthe same speed (Dremora). I’ve included a series of perks that speeds their leveling up and thatadds additional perks to them, keeping all summons useable during the entire game.

On the undead side, I’ve kept Dark Souls. I’ve also decided to move Necromage in this branch,since it makes sense- you’re a knowledgeable Necromancer after all. Also, you’ll need investmentif you want to revive boss level enemies. Gravebound, as already mentioned, allows you to keepcorpses intact. Summoner now branches off Apprentice Conjuration; Twin Souls, renamed to"Ancient Rites", branches off Summoner, is accessible faster and has multiple ranks now.

Apart from modified old stuff, Necromancers also get a few new perks to play with. "Harvest"allows you to gather bones, flesh and hearts from corpses. Each rank not only increases thechance for every piece to be gathered, it also allows for more pieces of flesh to be harvested fromevery corpse. The loot you get depends on luck and the target’s race.

What is that loot useful for? Hearts and flesh are alchemy ingredients. Bones can be soldor used in conjunction with another new perk "Bone Mastery". "Bone Mastery" allows you tosummon skeletons from the bones in your inventory. Each skeleton requires two arms, two hands,two feet, two legs, a ribcage, a skull, and a filled petty soul gem. You can have skeletons inaddition to any other minion (they have their own summon limit), but skeleton summoning isnot affected by "Ancient Rites" or "Twin Blood Summoning". Skeletons are leveled. Higher ranksof "Bone Mastery" allow for different skeletons (warrior, archer, mage) and for more skeletons tobe summoned.

The last new Necromancy perk, "Tongues of Old", allows you to rearrange the inventory ofskeletons and reanimated corpses. Nothing fancy, but useful nonetheless. Note that skeletons

20

CHAPTER 4. PERK RELATED CHANGES Up

don’t wear armor, but do use weapons you give them if you remove their old stuff. Also notethat the stuff you give them is lost if they die, so better be careful.

Familiars, at this stage, are a "no point"-alternative for part-time conjurers. Adding a distincttree for them might be an option in the future, but is not likely to happen.

"Mystic Binding" will not suddenly turn your bound weapons into ebony/daedric stuffanymore; instead, it allows bound weapons to grow with your conjuration skill.

4.3 DestructionAs we all know, Destruction was not good for damage at all. I changed that. I’ve included ahidden perk that allows spell damage to scale with skill, 1% per skill level. I also included a newperk called "Careful Studies", the equivalent to "Armsman" and its brethren. I has 5 levels, eachadding 10% damage and reducing cost by 5%

While 10% damage / 5% cost reduction doesn’t sound like much, remember that a strongmelee fighter is forced to invest in various crafting skills, while a mage can do fine without.

Impact works chance-based now, It has two level, granting a 15%/25% chance to trigger.Augmented Frost, Shock and Flames have three levels now. The damage gain is 30% at

maximum rank, but these perks also add a small chance for secondary effects to each respectivespell. Frost spells can paralyze, Shock spells can disintegrate and Fire spells can strike targets tothe ground.

Intense Flames, Disintegrate (renamed to "Eye of the Storm") and Deep Freeze have threeranks now and entirely new effects. "Deep Freeze" boosts ice damage and the "slow" effect onice spells, "Intense Flames" boosts fire damage and adds an armor debuff to fire spells (scaleswith spell damage), and "Eye of the Storm" gives shock damage and a 20% chance for massiveMagicka drain on hit (again, based on spell damage).

The new "top" perk is called "Elemental Ram". Each hit with a missile-type spell debuffsan enemy’s magic resistance by 5% for three seconds. These debuffs stack up to 25%, whenadditional hits will just reset the timer.

4.4 Alteration

I added additional ranks to Stability, and a bunch of interesting spells (Colossus Form, Feather,etc.). I’ve also added "Second Skin", which adds secondary effects to armor spells, and "TemperedArcana", which reduces cost, magnitude and duration of many spells, unless you wield spells inboth hands. Mainly for spellblades with limited Magicka pool.

Moreover, Alteration allows you to create Dwemer constructs from metal pieces and soulgems (perks "Animunculi", "Machinate" and "Repair Unit"), including three different types ofCenturions. All constructs level at 80% of your speed.

Alteration also houses "Deep Infusion", a perk that enhances the duration of weapon enhancingspells by huge amounts.

I’ve also added a new perk, "Medium", that allows for two perks to be spent. While wieldinga staff, it can boost your spell magnitude by up to 50%. Might just make staffs a viable choice.

Last but not least, "Traveller" has the sole purpose of increasing the distance of "Phase Shift".

4.5 RestorationThis is the tree that feels the most different from vanilla.

21


As already mentioned, Necromage is absent. I’ve added a perk that adds passive healthregeneration, as well as two perks that support the new "Aura" spells.

"Auramancer" increases the radius on all auras, and "Life and Death" boosts the effect ofdamaging auras, based on both Restoration (rank 1) and Destruction (rank 2) skill level.

"Ward Deflect" allows ward spells to provide additional protection against arrows, which arevery deadly against mages in SkyRe.

"Carrier" and "Plaguelord" support the new "plague" type of spells, making them spread in awider radius and faster.

"Beacon of Light" makes spirit guide creatures more resistent to damage, and "Patron" makesthem permanent.

4.6 IllusionThis tree has undergone serious changes. "Aspect of Terror" was renamed to "Aspect of Fear" and,just like "Hypnotic Gaze" and "Rage", it has multiple ranks and works multiplicative. Masterlevel illusion spells are much stronger now (start at magnitude of 40). When all respective perkshave been acquired, they can hit anything that’s not immune.

"Animage" and "Kindred Mage" have been removed, "Quiet Casting" is a Sneak perk now,I introduced four new perks in total, with the first three adding secondary effects to influence-

spells. "Terror" reduces feared enemies’ magic resistance by 25%, "False Peace" reduces calmedenemies’ armor class by 100, and "Zealot’s Fury" doubles an enraged enemie’s melee damageoutput.

The fourth one is "Incite". It strengthens positive buffs on Illusion spells such as "Call toArms", by up to 100% for three perk points.

4.7 EnchantingThis was a difficult one. While enchanting is fun imho, it had a few flaws. First of all, it justoffered too much. Eight perk points pretty much turned an Enchanter into a Ubermageberserker-sneakassassinofDoooooom. Secondly, it’s ok between skill level 15 and 99, then suddenly becomeshaxx. Thirdly, one path to Extra Effect was vastly superior to the other. Thus, a lot changed.

The base skill only nets 15% damage increase per point, but the new top of the tree, HiddenPotential, adds up to 50% as well (multiplicative). All enchantment specific skills (Corpus En-chanter etc.) have two level. Extra Effect is accessible way earlier. I’ve removed Fire/Frost/StormEnchanter; I instead included Elemental Enchanter, a skill that boosts all elemental damageenchantments, and Defensive Enchanter, boosting all "Resist"-type Enchantments.

All in all, this results in enchantments growing steadily, rather than suddenly becoming uber.At max investment, Enchantments are stronger now, but that requires more perk points thanbefore.

On top of that comes the perk "Dreamweaver" that boosts enchantment strength on clothingcreated with "Weaving Mill (→ Smithing)".

4.8 ((((((((

((One-Handed Light Weaponry

Personally, I was always missing the option to become a swift swordsman, wielding no shield,instead alterating between blocking with my weapon and using spells. With the new perks I’veincluded I try to fix that.

22


The first new perk is called "Myrmidon". Three levels max, each adding to your attack speed,but only while your left hand is either empty or wielding a spell. The second perk, "Duelist",gives a passive chance to ignore incoming damage, with the same restrictions as Myrmidon. Thatmakes for a fast, swift striker.

However, I also nerfed Armsman. I wanted the damage difference between two-handedweapons and one-handed weapons to make more of a difference (Due to the higher max level youcan still become stronger than with vanilla Skyrim’s perks, though).

This tree houses various new specialization perks- no matter if you prefer Tantos ("Hornet’sSting"), Wakizashis ("Ninjato"), Longswords ("Masterful Fencer"), Katanas ("Kendo") or Scimitars("Dervish Dance") - there are perks for everyone in here.

4.9 (((((((

(((Two-Handed Heavy WeaponryWhile users of one-handed weapons usually invest in something for their off-hand, the barbariansamong us have more points to spend on their weapon proficiency. Thus, three new skillswere added, and the "Deep Wounds" perk has been tweaked to provide more of a "criticalhit"-experience.

The new greatsword-specific skill is called "One With The Blade", and can increase yourattack speed by up to 30%. Works well with the nice crits, and makes for an elegant swordmaster.

Users of warhammers can now user "Supremacy" to Power Bash all opponents in front ofthem at once (of course, this needs the relevant Block-perk unlocked). Raw power dominates.

Users of Battleaxes get the most fun, though. With "Boiling Point", each enemy hit has achance to enrage your character, giving a huge damage boost for a short duration. That perkwas rather difficult to implement, and I’m proud of it. M

And, to support the Wot3E integration, I’ve added a new branch for Battlestaves ("Endeavor","Pillar of Strength") and two perks for Greatsword subcategories - "Blade Barrier" makes timedblocks with Bastard Swords dangerous, "Butterfly Strikes" let’s you strike faster with Nodachiswhen doing repeated hits.

4.10 Block

Aside from tweaking Shield Wall (renamed it, improved values, displayed values were incorrect),Deflect Arrows caused issues and was buggy. Instead of negating arrow damage, it capped outblocked damage, effectively rendering Shield Wall and similar enchantments useless and beinginsanely OP. I hopefully balanced it out; it adds a chance to ignore arrow damage while blockingnow.

Also, "Quick Reflexes" was modified to work with the new combat mechanics; it now increasesthe time frame for well-timed blocks by up to 0.5 seconds.

4.11 ��Archery Marksmanship

The original tree was crap. Essentially, it just added perks that made arrows better, you runfaster, or you preserve arrows. So I smashed it and created it new.

The new "root" is called "Focus". It redces the bow’s draw time and increases bow damage.You need o invest here if you want to become an archer.

The tree has three areas. The left one contains Longbow perks. Longbows are meant todeliver slow, deadly shots at huge distances. You can further overdraw them to accumulate

23


damage (Power Draw), and should preferably aim at moving or staggered targets- or those thatdidn’t notice you yet... At close range, they’re helpless.

Shortbows play differently. They are strongest in mid and close range, and even have a fewaces up their sleeve in melee combat (Ranger’s Trick, Mongoose). They deal less damage thanLongbows, and require more movement to unleash their potential.

Aside from "Focus", the only perks that affect both bow types are "Curare" (more poisonshots), "Coup De Grace"(Bonus damage against enemies below a certain threshold) and the old"Eagle Eye" and "Steady Hand".

4.12 SmithingThe last crafting skill for me to modify. Serious changes were made.

All "old" perks do not boost tempering quality anymore. However, they are now necessary tobe able to even begin tempering stuff; for example, you might be at 300 smithing, having craftedthousands of Iron Daggers, but without Ebony Smithing you’ll not be able to sharpen that niceGreatsword you just found in that Draugr Crypt.

Having unlocked Ebony Smithing, you can temper that Greatsword, but you will probablybe underwhelmed- I removed the "improve twice as much"-part from all old perks. Just toomuch bang for your buck. Instead, you’ll need to invest in the two new perks, Armorer andWeaponsmith, if you want your tempering attempts to lead to great results. Both perks have tenranks, each adding 15% quality to armor/weapon tempering.

These changes make sure that smithing is less overpowered early on, stronger in the end, andrequires serious perk investment to be of good use. As it should be.

To add more variety and synergy, I also adder a perk that unlocks meltdown recipes, a perknecessary to craft jewelry, a perk for special clothing, and a perk that unlocks "Refined Silver"weapons for crafting.

Also note that Dragon Armor is now exclusive to the Light Armor branch. That means HeavyArmor dudes still get the best material, but don’t get the best light armor almost for free as well.Light Armor smiths stay versatile - wear that Dragonscale armor and give the Dragonplate stuffto Lydia. Or your Thralls.

4.13 Heavy ArmorI enforced my "vision" of heavy armor. Heavy Armor should protect. That’s what it’s good at,and nothing else (while light armor is more versatile, but less protective).

"Reflect Blows" was crap, so I removed it. Tower of strength can now completely negatestagger (for two perk points). The new top perk is called "Endure"; it can reduce power attackdamage by 50% when fully clad in heavy armor.

I also added "Monolith", which can stagger attackers after an unblocked hit, and "Impene-trable", which gives a chance to negate incoming arrow damage, based on the number of heavyarmor pieces you wear (non-linear growth; 3% - 25% chance).

Unlike it’s light armor cousin, "Juggernaut" still grants +100% armor for 5 perk points only.

4.14 SneakI removed the broken abilities "Silence" and "Shadow Warrior" and added a variety of new perks.

"Deadly Strike" has been renamed to "Blindside" and turned into a three rank perk, eachrank adding 1 to the sneak damage multiplier to all melee weapons and unarmed sneak attacks.

24


"Last Breath" multiplies sneak damage against sleeping targets tenfold, usually allowing for aninsta-kill.

Archers still have "Deadly Aim", though its location and effect has changed. It branchesoff to "Thief’s Toolbox", a new perk that allows you to enhance low-ranked arrows (Iron, Steel,Falmer, Forsworn and Ancient Nord) with useful effects (light sources and noise).

Mages get many benefits; first of all, they can now sneak attack with spells for double damagefrom the beginning (semi-compatible to spells added by other mods - damage is calculatedcorrectly, but message won’t pop up and won’t level sneak). "Arcane Assassin" increases thedamage factor to 3, and "Touch of Calamity" boosts it to 6 for touch spells. Also, "Quiet Casting"is now a high level sneak perk.

A few more new perks: "Infiltration" fools others about your faction if you wear a differentfaction’s gear. To work, you’ll need a full set of armor- Imperials, Stormcloaks, Thalmor, Bandits(Fur gear) and Forsworn work for now. Any combination of different armor sets of a single factionis valid (for example, you can mix heavy imperial armor and light imperial armor). This perk ishighly experimental.

"Assassinate" ignores the target’s armor during dagger sneak attacks, "Ambush" slows timeafter a successfull dagger sneak attack.

"Intruder" increases sneak capabilities while trespassing and is an alternative for those thatdon’t want "Light Foot". "Silent Warmonger" increases sneak damage against target currently incombat - useful for people that like to wreak havoc from the shadows.

4.15 AlchemyAside from the usual added perk levels, I mainly change the layout to allow for distinct poison,or cure-specialization. This might be the one skill that profits most from the additional perklevels, especially for poison lovers. Also recycled a skill called "Catalyst" that amplifies purepositive potions on consumption.

I also introduced a new element: Explosives. They come tied to three new perks, "Fuse"(allows you to craft explosive arrows) and "Advanced Explosives" (allows you to craft timebombarrows). Check them out for some serious fun!

"Adhesive Explosive" is the most funny one though, and the most tactical. It works like apoison and detonates after 10 seconds when applied, dealing fixed health damage. If the targetis not in combat however, it instantly dies. Combine it with reverse pickpocketing, and you gotthe funniest item in the entire game.

4.16 Light ArmorI personally prefer light armor all the way, but found it overpowered and vastly superior in vanillySkyrim. I "fixed" that mostly indirectly by removing smithing/enchanting/alchemy cycles, but Ialso nerfed Agile Defender. It can still net a 100% boost, bur needs twice as many perk points asbefore.

Heavy Armor really should provide better protection than light gear, while light gear is moreversatile.

The new "Adrenaline Rush" gives speed- and stamine boosts when enemies power attack youand you don’t block, and "Adrenaline Overload" lets you strike with increased forced right afterthat. "Balance" reduces Power Attack stamina consumption, and "Swift Counter" makes blockswith Ligh Shield reduce damage to zero.

"Flexibility" makes you immune to "Ignore Armor" effects, and "Weak Spot" increases damageagainst other Light Armor users.

25


4.17 SpeechcraftAfter being puzzled for a while, I’ve found a use for speech: Shouts!

Shouting levels speechcraft now, and speech provides three new perks that help your shouts:"Violent Voice" buffs harmful shouts, "Heroic Voice" extends the duration for non-harmful shouts,and "Leader’s Voice" increases the time your shout-summoned companions stay with you.

"Echoing Rage" and "Echoing Reason" further increase these effects by letting shouts directlyscale with speechcraft, and "Fluent Speaker" reduces shout cooldown.

Also removed Allure and Bribery due to being crappy/buggy.

4.18 ((((((((Pickpocket Fingersmith

As I figured out how to do the crazier stuff in the CK, I merged Pickpocket with the oldLockpicking tree. Thus, some old perks carry additional effects now, and the better Lockpickingperks (Treasure Hunter) found a new home.

Fingersmith is the new main attraction for everyone who wants to make some coin withoutbartering. Note that lockpicking does not level fingersmith for now; I’ll fix that if I can, but it’sa price I’m willing to pay.

• Renamed "Golden Touch" to "Nose for Coin", and incorporated it into "Fingersmith"

• Incorporated "Treasure Hunter" into "Fingersmith"

• Modified "Light Fingers" to also modify the sweet spot when picking locks

• Incorporated "Locksmith" into "Fingersmith"

• Modifed "Locksmith" to also allow you to pick locks unnoticed.

• Modified "Keymaster" to generate keys when picking locks

4.19 ((((((((

8 FAQ

Q: Hi, I really enjoy this mod but have’nt been able to use it to it’s full potential yetbecause I am worrying about issues that may arrise when Skyrim: Dawnguard is releasedand so I am holding back. Do you plan on supporting and updating this mod through therelease of Bethesda’s new expansion?

A: Yes, I do plan to do so.

Q: What exactly does each module contain?

A:

SkyRe_Main: Changes to perks, spells, leveled lists, the Wot3E-weapons, adjusted/addedsmithing recipes, adjusted vanilla weapons and armor, bugfixes, adjusted shouts (forspeechcraft), timed blocking, game settings related to sneak and cell/vendor respawn.No Vampirism/Fingersmith trees.SkyRe_Races: Racial abilities and race related loading screensSkyRe_Combat: Stamina dependent slowdown/damage/blocking efficiency, hugedamage boost for both enemy and player, armor-dependent sneak and pickpocketmodifications, debuff and stagger upon unblocked hits, stamina consumption uponblockingSkyRe_Enemies: Changes to enemy AI, enemy scaling, general minimum levels formost encounter zones, additional perks for enemiesSkyRE_StandingStones: Standing Stones, and related loading screensSkyRe_Lighting: Lighting tweaksSkyRe_Vampirism: Vampirism and Fingersmith tree, UI tweak to remove skill barwhen lockpicking.

Q: Do I need the SkyReMain.esp for the rest to work?

A: No. The modules are independent.

Q: Really? Can you add the SkyRe perks to enemies without SkyReMain?

A: Yes. SkyReEnemies will contain modified copies of all the perks.

Q: I think I’ve found a bug! How do I report it in a most helpful way?

A: Tell me which modules you are running, which other mods you are running that mightconflict, and try to give a detailed report. "Bandits are buggy" is not helpful, "Bandits arenot aggressive enough and aren’t lootable, tested at Embershard Mine" is helpful.

33

CHAPTER 8. FAQ Up

Q: Can you make your mod less modular?

A: Nope. SkyRe used to be one big mod, but the esp became too big, which caused severeissues (CTDs and save file corruption).

Q: Can you make your mod more modular?

A: Nope. This is the limit. If I go any further, the overall quality will suffer.

Q: I heard I can switch a few parts of the mods off. How do I do that?

A: You need to use the console to adjust certain global variables. The command is set x toy where x is the variable, and y is the value. For y, "1" means ON, everything else meansOFF.Here comes a list of variables:SkyReCombat:xxxCMStaminaAttackBlock Stamina influence on attack damage and block efficiencyxxxCMStaminaLoss Stamina loss while attackingxxxCMStaminaSpeed Stamina influence on attack and movement speed, and initial15% slower attack speedxxxCMArmor Armor penalties for sneaking and lockpicking, heavy armor slowdown,passive chance to reduce incoming arrow damage

Q: What do the compatibility plugins do?

A: They adjust tempering requirements and add meltdown recipes, and somethimes alsoadjust values.

Q: I have a bow added by [insert any mod without compatibility patch]. Is it a shortbowor longbow in SkyRe?

A: All bows default to shortbows.

Q: Can you make a compatibility patch for "Lore Friendly Armor Pack", "Omegared99’sArmor Compilation" or [any single armor from Omegared99’s compilation]?

A: No. Contacted both authors a long while ago, neither answered.

Q: Can you make a compatibility patch for [any skimpy armor]?

A: No. I only make those patches for stuff I can see myself using.

Q: Can you make a compatibility patch for [any well done, lore friendly armor or weaponmod]?

A: Sure. I usually do these between major updates, so it might take a while.

34

CHAPTER 8. FAQ Up

Q: Will my gaming experience suffer or my game break from using anything withoutcompatibility patch?

A: Nothing will break, just don’t use stuff with uber values, and don’t temper stuff withoutthe necessary perk.

Q: I have a decent suggestion for a new feature. Shall I PM you?

A: I answer all PMs, but I prefer suggestions to be in the respective thread (SkyReBrainstorming), so that people can discuss them in public.

Q: I like SkyRe, and I’m good with 3d art/2d art/animations. Would you like help?

A: Sure! PM me asap.

Q: Is SkyReRaces the same as RaRe?

A: Less buggy, but basically yes.

Q: Is SkyReStandingStones the same as StaRe?

A: Yes.

A: Sure. PM me for modding questions. As long as you bring the basics, I gladly sharewhat I know.

Q: Is picking locks supposed to level Fingersmith?

A: It’s not. Blame Bethesda.

35

Q: You told me to send Papyrus logs. How do I create them?

A:

1. Go to /Documents/MyGames/Skyrim2. Add the following lines to you Skyrim.ini:

[Papyrus]bEnableLogging=1bEnableTrace=1bLoadDebugInformation=1

3. Play4. After playing, go back to the mentioned folder.5. A new subfolder has popped up, "Logs"6. Paste the content of the Papyrus log either in a PM to me, or at7. http://pastebin.com/ PM me

Q: My weapon speed bugs out! It’s suddenly slow!

A: In the console, typeplayer.setav weaponspeedmult 1player.setav leftweaponspeedmult 1

Q: Where is my unarmed weapon?

A: Should be added automatically. If Skyrim decided not to add it (happens :/), typehelp "unarmed"in the console to get the ID, thenplayer.additem ID 1

9 Notes and legal stuffAlways make sure to tell me if you find a bug. Any helpful hand is needed, since I’m a full-timestudent and doing this mostly alone. If you find any errors in writing, notify me as well. I’m nota native speaker, but no one needs to know about that. :)

You’re free to do with this mod whatever you want. If you redistribute it, make sure tomention me though. Also, if you include something cool, let me know, so that I can include it inthe main file.
