51 mods so far for Fallout 4, 310 for skyrim SE and 19 for starfield but that's due to not playing/updating it
If you just follow a build guide for the characters, which you may want to simply because there are so many options, it's pretty straightforward. That's like the only potentially overwhelming bit. In combat and exploration it's fine, especially if you avoid using the fancy Bladedancer class from the DLC (which benefits strongly from very "predictive" thinking, and is kind of overpowered anyway). Depending on how good you are with tactics and how much attention you pay to gear it may actually become too easy on Normal with a build guide, but there are harder settings if so.Glad to hear it’s enjoyable; I’ve been eyeing it up for a while. I’m such a fossil I have trouble learning new systems these days - will it tax my tiny brain too much?
Does CPU/GPU load increase after a certain number of Skyrim mods? I think I'm close to 50, which runs fine, but some of my NPC encounters are glitched.51 mods so far for Fallout 4, 310 for skyrim SE and 19 for starfield but that's due to not playing/updating it
It's not a certain number, it's entirely down to what they are (and your load order).Does CPU/GPU load increase after a certain number of Skyrim mods? I think I'm close to 50, which runs fine, but some of my NPC encounters are glitched.
Imma save myself the headache and just install one of those mod packages next . . .It's not a certain number, it's entirely down to what they are (and your load order).
If you have a whole bunch of mods relying on Skyrim Script Extender, and doing stuff like re-routing NPCs or whatever, that's going to have a significant impact on both CPU load and glitchiness - it's likely to increase both by a lot. As does any mod which interacts with NPC AI.
Whereas if you have a ton of mods that just improve/increase model geometry and texture size and lighting, they will likely be largely glitch-free (if installed in the correct order) and have limited CPU impact, but may well massively increase the GPU load.
But if you just have mods that add armour/weapons to the game, they might not really mess with with either very much.
I've had like 80 Skyrim mods before and been just fine, but I've also installed just a few mods and had problems because they were incompatible or heavily used scripts or the like.
I've only played it on Playstation, but it's one of my favourite titles on there, both on PS4 and PS5. The only downside to playing it on PC might be missing out on the feedback/vibration from the PS5 controller, which was fantastically implemented - feeling how your horse's hoofbeats change when crossing different surfaces while riding was one of the most immersive experiences I've had in an open-world game.I've been thinking about getting Ghost of Tsushima for a while. Steam rates it highly. Any cons I should know about?
