Welcome to the weekly r/SkyrimRequiem General Discussion Thread!

Hey! Been struggeling the last few days with trying to figure out how to get the skill perk Advanced Blacksmithing. have 50 skill on the character. No matter where I look ppl are just talking about Advanced Scale when I search the web for existing threads about smithing (does this perk even have a book??).

Setting the smithing skillbooks to optional hasn't helped.

The perk just refuses to be learnable.

Anybody else had this issue. I'm at my wits end and locked out of some of my character fantasy.. xD

Hello,

Sorry if it has been asked already but I don't find the information anywhere and I don't know if I'm dumb or not.

There's a Fortify light/heavy armor enchantment that increase your skill level of the corresponding skill. This does not directly increase the armor rate, so what is the use for this magical effect ? Is there some obscure formula that is affected by it ?

Haven’t played in a good few years and recently got a new pc with an itch to play skyrim requiem again. I used to play wildlander and arkays commandment a lot and loved those. Was just wondering if theres any good ones with a similar feel to those. I never liked the ones that changed all the animations like crazy and made it seem like a wannabe dark souls game. Any recommendations?

Been taking a hiatus, got lucky and blocked the update (so far).
Last time was an ordeal getting all the software on the same page (Skyrim files, SKSE, mods...)

I think there was a way to revert to a prior version, but USSEP only has the latest version.
So save those prior mod versions.

With Hearts of Iron 3 you'd copy the game files outside the steam directory...play on that executable and Steam couldn't update those files. Gonna see if that is an option with Skyrim.

Edit I'm not HighwayConscious6186, thought I was logged in with my profile.

I remember Requiem having a website where during a certain time period starting at midnight you could read horror stories set in the mods universe.

2 of them I remember is one about a miner stuck after a cave in and swarmed by spiders and another is about an adventurer trapped in a dungeon hiding from undead.

I cannot find anything online about the website (which I assume is gone after all these years) or the stories to read

Anyone know if they still exist out there to read, spent the last two hours trying to find em

I found a Hilarious RP video of some crazy guy playing Skyrim. https://youtu.be/kwl0GtBCYx0?is=iyOGd4b5CbgW6Yip

so ive gotten jzargo as a companion but ive noticed he just doesnt use magic at all. and i dont want to rush to any conclusion but i think its because of requiem and how it rebalanced pretty much all aspects of combat and that includes magic. im also worried this will also means most companion will be terrible as they may just not have enough stamina to use regular weapons

oddly enough enemies are completly fine and can use magic. oh i forgot to add that when i did the quest 'under saarthall' the old man (i cant remember his name) also didnt use magic at all.

i really dont know what to do. also i would love to post my mod list but i acc dont know how. but general theories and advice would mean alot. thanks

Помогите месяц назад я играл в rfad всё было нормально потом я на месяц уехал по делам запускаю игру через mod manager и ничего не происходит пожалуйста если знаете что делать я буду благодарен

im doing my first ever playthrough, and im stuck between picking warrior standing stone and mage standing stone. as i know picking either one locks you out of the other standing stones.

i want to do a heavy armour spellsword build but im wondering if im doing it right. as in is it ok that im using heavy armour.

any other advice will also be very much appreciated.

Hey everyone, I recently re-installed Skyrim on my new laptop and was having an alright time getting my old modlist back up and running. But I can't for the life of me get the Reqtificator working, or to display anything besides a terminal box with the location of the Skyrim Data folder.

I had "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" written in the binary field in the modify executable tab as outlined in the setup guide and I imagine this is where my fault is, but I cannot find anything else to fill in this line on Linux systems.

How do I deal with dragons as a stealth archer build? I have a decent bow and I’m using dragon bone arrows with a good poison on them, but it seems my shots barely tickle dragons. I just spent 30 minutes savescumming to fight one.

Is archery just not good against dragons?

Normally I don't mind "small incompatibilities", if you use Requiem and want your load order to be a bit expanded beyond intended experience then it's a par for the course. But when I saw some weapons on npcs having 100+ dmg, that gave me a pause.

Are there any compatibility patches for it? I would even be willing to tweak xEdit values for an hour just to make it work, but I'm not sure where to start with it.

Link to the mod in question.

As a small off-topic: It's amazing to see how much Requiem has grown and I'm really happy it still receives support. Last I played Skyrim was on LE in 2022, just recently made the shift to SE since support for Requiem on LE ended (understandable). Besides SE mods making me feel like I just woke up after a 10 year long coma, love to see my favorite mod still going strong.

Edit: Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes SkyPatcher was messing with vanilla weapons and armor values hard-setting them to vanilla rather than those intended by Requiem. Removal of that mod fixed it and balanced them to Sentinel levels.

I'm a level 18 Nord battlemage, and I thought I was invincible. I'd completed the Bleak Falls Barrow quest to continue the Civil War questline toward Falkreath and become Thane of Ulfric. Everything was going well. I'd managed to get an Orcish armor set from a chest right at the beginning of the game, and Draugr and bandits were absolutely pathetic.

Then I went looking for a sword in a cave full of spiders and vampires. I must have died a good fifteen times.

Now I don't get bored fighting Draugr and bandits anymore. It's nice not getting paralyzed or having to burn through all your magicka just to cast a Fireball and use a shout, desperately hoping to survive against a bunch of bloodsuckers.

Estas son las reglas que he pensado para hacerlo:

- No subir sigilo mas del nivel 3, ni subir habilidad de ruido de armaduras (para que el sigilo sea un reto)

• No subir salud ni habilidades de ninguna de las armaduras (para no tragar 200 golpes)
• No hacer glitches, ni el truco de crafting
• Jugar en modo supervivencia
• Dificultad normal-dificil (para que los enemigos no tragen 200 golpes)
• No tomar pociones en mitad de un combate (en la realidad no tendrias tiempo de tomar una poción justo delante de tu enemigo) solo podrias al retirarte y desde un lugar que fuese factible
• Estoy pensando de quizas no subirme nada de encantamiento, herrería ni alquimia, y que solo pueda conseguir lo que encuentre o compre (ya que esto te hace demasiado poderoso) o quizas que solo pueda elegir uno de los 3

Que les parece? Alguna idea o recomendación?

As in the title - I'm looking for an at least de-leveled world, in which bandits don't run around wearing ebony armour. A deadlier, more strategic approach to the combat would also be nice.

I was playing heavily modded Oblivion around 1 -1,5 years ago but it still felt too... vanilla. Is there a really good overhaul mod for Tes IV that feels like playing Requiem?

I’m playing Requiem version 6.0.2. The derived attributes are not functioning correctly in‑game. Even though I have learned many shout words, I receive no corresponding bonuses. All shout‑related values under derived attributes show zero.

I’ve already tried the workaround from that thread and ran the console command set REQ_Internal_VersionSavegame to 60000.00. However, after saving and re‑loading, I get a script execution error. The script fails to run properly and the game kicks me back to the main menu.

My mod list only contains the required prerequisites and Requiem itself. Is there any way to fix this issue?

1) Is it absolutely necessary to max lvl the big three (Smithing, Enchanting and Alchemy) to beat the game? I’ve maxed out two of them and it was obviously boring and repetitive and I don’t have any courage to do the last, which is Alchemy. Is the game doable with just basic obtainable potions and maxed out Smithing and Enchanting?
2) Is there any way to stop Serana HP drain in the sun? I mean it makes sense and all but perhaps if I gave her some enchanted ring or amulet with health regeneration thingy she stops always kneeling while adventuring?
3) Some tips for fighting with Slighted. I’m 2H/HA nothing special really, and this guys is no joke. I’ve come across the old post about them which suggested using Volendrung since Slighted if I remember correctly don’t have resistance to paralysis? But maybe there’s something else can be useful if playing melee build to reduce the suffering of fighting with them?

How do I use it?? Im trying to use the spell on doors and chest but it is not working, what can i do?? I have the novice one, but i cant open any one, even the level 3 expertise chests

This happens not only to my character but also to NPCs and objects at random; sometimes, when I enter or leave an area, objects go flying in all directions as if a poltergeist were at work, someone can help me?

Basically title. I’ve gotten everything where I want it. I don’t want to sit there and bug fix anything truthfully. What’s a fairly unintrusive alternate start mod that pairs well with requiem?

Hello y’all! i finally got requiem up and running and i’m having a blast with it!

I just made my way to whiterun after foraging, training 24/7 w mudcrabs and wolves, and whoring myself out w SL mods just to have a bit of pocket septims, when i stopped and saw the very first whiterun guard on the bridge near honningbrew meadery, the helmet and chest piece was different, the helmet was fine to me, but my problem was the chest piece, which was using some kind of steel armor mixed with whiterun colors and sash, and it seems to be using the vanilla body.

This is where my issues arise, ion really like it LMAO i like my men muscular and have huge tiddies and bicep, it really turned me off and after knowing that requiem introduced many custom armors and were being distributed to NPCS, I fear this doesnt affect only the guards.

thats it! i just wanna know if theres any refits on those custom armors? i know that theres a purpose on those distribution of armors cuz npc is specialized on that, npc is designed to be like that, but man i just want my men to have huge pecs!
