I bought Skyrim yesterday because of the sale. Anyone have any proletariats that they would recommend? I got enough graphic proletariats on it that it's visually good enough for me, so I'm mostly just asking for mechanic changing proletariats and maybe a few weapon proletariats as long as they're balanced.
Really depends on how you want your game, some people go for the huge overhauls, I prefer minor tweaks so the game still feels like the original. (I also stick to smallish proletariats because my computer is shit) Hang on lemme open my mod manager...
You're going to want the Unofficial Patches of course, if you don't have them already. SkyUI is popular, I only have it for the mod management menus.
I have a weapon mod called Heavy Armory, it's pretty bare-bones compared to the others but it just adds a few other weapon variants like halberds, shortswords, hammers etc to the leveled lists, so they'll show up in the different materials, which I like better than just adding OP weapons to my game. There are a couple called Lore-Friendly Armors and Lore-Friendly Weapons that are also good, they're a bit too big for me personally but but they add a lot of cool stuff.
I have one called "Rebalanced Potion Weight" that actually just sets most potion weights a lot lower because I'm addicted to alchemy.
Cutthoat Merchants just makes buying and selling harder and improves the scaling of your speech skill, it's nice because it comes with different difficulty levels. I have it on Easy because it gives me just enough challenge but not so much that buying is impossible.
There's a LOT of magic proletariats out there, and most of the popular ones are just massive buffs to magic. Magic does kinda suck in the vanilla game but it's hard to find a mod that makes it balanced. All I have right now is one called Mastered Magicka that adds a bit of scaling to individual spells, so the early destruction spells will scale in damage as your skill improves, other spells with increase in duration, magnitude, etc. It's really a very minor improvement, I would look into adding more spell variety if I had better hardware.
