Dude's playing Elder Ring: Dark Scrolls

Ir dosen’t Fell like skyrim it fells like bad dark souls
Buddy even got the ashes of war
The elden scrolls: dark souls edition
Damn “Dark Scrolls” is a good name for souls combat in Skyrim
Having such detailed mod breakdown for the video is really A+ man. Above and beyond to not just showcase a mod but include the load order to achieve the state you showcased it in.
I owe you a BIG word of thanks for putting out these videos of selected mods to use together in different categories, and for making them very easy to install by linking your modlist and load order.
I have been using quite a few of them to build my new modlist with, and it all seems to be working very smoothly so far.
I chose to also follow your video on community shaders with all of the new add-ons. I teamed it with Azurite Weathers 2, and it looks pretty amazing! I like it because it gives me a lot more fps to use on other mods for larger cities, textures, and animations.
Again, thank you!
I really appreciate you adding your modlist I'm a newbie at this and it will help me a lot
I've been doing modding for 5 years, and I confirm that you are well versed in the topic!
IM MODDING the game for over 2 years now ond and off. ALways hoped to reimagine the combat system but could never really get it to work. after a couple off days i finally got your mods to work and i have to say its a welcome change. I love the pasing and the weight it gives combat. hit and slashes have weight to them and enemies react really good. im in aw
You're lucky you came in when you did. None of this was remotely possible for over ten years of Skyrim modding. The best attempts at it were some janky alternate movesets, animation replacers that would glitch out if they didn't precisely match vanilla parameters and, the BIGGEST development in Skyrim modding for that decade, the ability to attack while airborne.
@@vitriolicAmaranth So true, i've been modding for 6 years now, and changes within the last 2~3 years were so drastic. Back when FNIS was considered the most cutting edge framework in the modding community, i had to cope with freezing animations, clipping, bugs and stuff. 3PCO or something, a 3rd person mod, was extremely buggy and stiff. There wasn't even a single animation mod for TK dodge without rough edges and abrupt stops. Compared to nowadays Dynamic Dodge Animation, DMCO, Infinity Dodge, etc, back then was really clunky.
I had exactly 255 mods back then (esl weren't common so i hit my maximum plugin limit), and even with the maximum mod number the game hardly changed for the better. My setup before 2021 was just a vanilla+ skyrim with better graphics, slightly better AI, a few new animations, and more items.
Hey! Just wanted to say, thank you for taking the time to make this video, and linking all of them in the description. It took me while to set up, but man was it worth it!
This is the best video ever, thank you so much friend!
The simple fact that you provided the updated link for MCO DXP would be awesome, but you offered us your modlist (with a dedicated combat tab and links!) and great tutorials, great explanations, and great choice of mods as well.
what is mco dxp
Thanks for the video. Really in depth of all the aspects
Excellent list! I especially appreciate the Ashes of War Weapon Art Via Additional Attack mod. That one flew under my radar 😁
My issues with those mods, is that the AI cannot perform them as effitiently as the player, so you feel OP compared to them
Big issue for me as well. Makes skyrim feel like a jank dynasty warriors if anything.
Yeah, same with a lot of the magic mods. I'd prefer mods that made enemies tougher.
I mean this is modding, just get a mod to make the AI harder, deal more damage, smarter, or find out mods that can actually make the AI peform the attacks like the player, there's thousands of mods, i'm sure you can find a combo.
I use imperial animation pack SCAR for Npcs fighting style, combat pathing revolution, organic faction and organic faction extension so factions in Skyrim are more organized, powerful and smarter, knockback and stagger remastered, power attack knockout, Lawless and more enemies mods. Now I'm getting my ass kicked and have to work hard to get those powerful modded weapons so I can survive. You can even add in some poise mods like Loki's Poise but that's going to make Skyrim into Sekiro level of difficulty.
a few updates ago, elden rim lets enemies use weapon arts, so u can try that.
edit: oh he also mentions an alternative at the end
Excellent showcase and explanations man! I look forward to playing my favorite game when I get home, Mod Organizer 2: The Nexus Download Queue Strikes Back.
Jokes aside, I'm pretty excited to implement these and show them off to my friends once I get everything up and running.
I use all of these basically aside from the stagger mod. Great list.
blacks ADXP-MCO animations are amazing, and the Nicoroshi Twinblades are my favorite. All which have a permanent spot in my LO.
I love blacks too!!! I really like that they're not so anime style and are pretty believable. Many based on Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Origins. I was subbed to his pareon even for a while. But he releases them all for free on Nexus, at least last I checked like a year or so ago.
The thing about combat overhauls like MCO and SkySA is that compatibility with Animated Armory is a bit sketchy, and that's a mod I can't play without that this point. Even Precision doesn't work perfectly with it. A combination of Elder Souls - Sweep Attack and Realistic Melee Range is fine for me.
WOW! Great work👍
I use your mod lists for everything from visuals overhaul to combat. Subscribed the channel, looking forward to more videos for the latest AE edition.
These guys really should be working on ES6...looks amazing!
I saved this video so I can go through it later. I'm pretty happy with combat, but I was wanting a new animation package. Also the newest MCO has dual block built in. Just move it to the bottom of your load order.
Great video Soft Gaming! I really enjoy your videos.
And i have a suggestion, bring more videos about immersion and quality of life in the game. Game mechanics overhauls, that brings modern RPGs mechanics to Skyrim.
Like a The Witcher 3, Dragon's Dogma, Dark Souls, Modern Assassin's Creed, etc.
Honed Metal and convenient horses is a great exemple.
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks!
i was waiting for this :)
GREAT AND WELCOMED VID, THANK YOU!!!
I really wish there were more 1st person combat mods, and just general gameplay elements just imagine Skyrim with the gameplay of mordhau or dark and darker, would be great. Nonetheless great video and very informative. All love ❤
There are. You don't need to go into third person at all.
Just Google first person combat overhaul Skyrim.
There are a number of perfect first person overhauls for everything from horse riding to eating to sleeping and especially combat.
I just went with CFPAO, blade&blunt, precision, camera noise, No BS projectile dodge, and elden parry. All the 3rd person combat mods require way too much 3rd party programs and patches, beside they look too clunky for my taste...also some are way too much anime-style
@@ellvis94 That covers combat.
What about the rest?
There's an Immersive First Person... something mod...
Can't remember the name.
It should cover most other things.
@@davidcopperfield5345 because nowadays most people don't actually care about first person combat in skyrim, it's as simple as that, maybe in the past, but with better third person cameras, better gameplay controls in 3P and mods like MCO, most people like combat in 3p, and 1p is only for immersion or to see things closery, i'm basing this on the current player base and nexus downloads, cause all combat mods that i've seen someone play are based on Dark Souls, and all have hundreds of thousands if not millions of downloads
@@davidcopperfield5345 Enhanced camera to make body visible in 1st person, Im not using it cus it was messing up dodge mod
Any plans to create a Wabbajcak modpack? Considering the amazing mods you use and review, and how stunning your visuals and gameplays looks, I'm sure that modpack wouldn't only be absolutely brilliant but also one of the top downloaded ones.
Managing a modpack is extremely difficult and time consuming. Listing his modlist and including tips is much more useful, time efficient, and modular.
There are some good combat animation mods for monsters as well
bloody good one mate
Maxsu also has a unofficial release poise mod. IMO it is just like his block mod, works really good.
Yea I tried it but wasn't a big fan
Dude your game looks way better than overhyped Nolvus mod compilation.
Amazing breakdown man, and the load order is just the cherry on top.
(What mod is that gladius from?)
Hey thanks! The sword is from the Christine gladiator armor mod
great list
Hey there, SoftGaming. Thank you for this amazing guide. I've done my best to follow it to the letter, but I noticed not everything is as it seems. You mention the mods "Ashes of War' on your description here, but in the other hand, when checking your Excel Load Order sheet, the Ashes mod is not listed there.
So, should we use it or not? Would it conflict with the rest of the mods?
If you could clarify, I'd be grateful.
Take care.
This is awesome, is there any chance of an xbox version? I really want to go through Skyrim again but struggling putting a working mod list together
I was trying to avoid bothering you with this, but I have totally failed with making dynamic dodge work. Do you by chance have a text or video tutorial of how to get it going?
I'd really love to know how you made Precision, TK Dodge RE and Dynamic Dodge work together. No matter what I do Nemesis just refuses to generate a behavior patch. At least if I do what the mod description tells me to do.
Getting back into Skyrim cause of this
this is day 4 of trying to get my game to look like this from having never modded skyrim before :P
good work
i stumbled upon one of your video then started bingig it. thanks for all the info you provide. i know this vid is an old one, but i particulary commented here because i would to ask the mod you are using in this video.thanks.
Thank you!
Another comprehensive and easy to follow modlist video, Soft. I also follow your previous combat overhaul modlist, but i am experiencing a problem in it. It is that the aim of bow and arrow in third person is off center, or maybe the crosshair isn't lined up properly. So that now i have to rely on TDM target locking mechanism to aim in third person. Are you also experiencing this problem?
Yes this is an issue. There are some crosshair mods that try to fix the issue or you can rely on the TDM lock or use first person when aiming
Awesome video as always soft! do you know if this would work now that bethesda updated AGAIN (and this time for the worse)? even with the downgrader patch people have been complaining about crashes
I need help
I install
Ashes war and additional attack
So far the power attack works like judgement cut
Or
Eldritch blast
Also the normal attack left mouse button works to
But my ashes war armor item doesnt work
And keeps doing same animation
Ecample wheb i do ASHES HIGH KICK
It still does same slash
Pls help
Awesome video! What armor mod are you using for your male character in the video?
I'd like to know to. I'm scrolling through comments to see if anyone else asked and got an answer
do you have a whole list of every mod you use ? or any collection like this ?
i appreciate the work you put into these videos. i recently just started modding skyrim again after nearly 10yrs. a lot has changed and thousands upon thousands of new mods created. i am currently using FNIS, and i know eveyone says it's dated and to use nemesis, but some of the mods im trying to make work only use FNIS. the problem i am having is the nightmare t-pose animation for all characters. i keep getting 4 warnings after every batch run w FNIS. i think ive got htk (?) files showing up. im not sure if it's from a currently installed mod or if it's residual left over from when i started before i messed up and had to reinstall skyrim and start over. is there a way to find or change these files, or even ignore them and still have FNIS work? it's driving me insane and im about to give up, which sucks real bad. when i modded years ago, i was running 130 mods just fine, including FNIS (i believe that's what i was using for the animations combined w the skeleton). but now, im just not having any luck w the animations. i am using vortex but i keep seeing everyone saying to use MO2. can i start over w MO2 if i purge mods from vortex wo having to reinstall skyrim again? any help would be immensly helpful. im at the point where i am willing to pay $100 to anyone who can get FNIS working for me. /sigh
Never subscribed to a CZcamsr so fast lol Love your videos! So informative and thank you for the description of links! Just one question. If I’m currently on 1.6.1170 and choose to downgrade to pick up these mods will I have to restart my whole mod list ? Or just the ones for that were meant for 1.6.1170?
Hey thanks! just mods that require a specific version of SKSE will need to be changed
Great video as always, right when I needed it :D
3 questions though: I got Poise and Valhalla and turned Valhallas poise meter of so now it shows poise yellow meter it doesnt go down a lot really.. i've read its because of ultimate combat - do you know about an incompability and next question is there any sense/need to still have ultimate combat and/or cgo? :)
Thank you!
Hi i dont use either ultimate combat or CGO so not sure if they are compatible or not sorry
how can i make those attack movements i installed all the mods however, when i attack it makes only like 2 movements and blocks out of nowhere, do i need to craft all the ashes?
Great Vid, thx so much. I started with skyrim again after many years ^^ so i downloaded the MO2 and a vanilla version of SSE on steam.
I already installed many mods for textures etc. Now i'll improve the combat ;-)
After every mod i do a loot-run and after every five mods i do a test-run of Skyrim..
I guess i will have some questions about installing these mods of your combat list.
The first question is, how did you get the amazing physics of your hair? 🙂
I‘m pretty sure Soft Gaming is using "FSMP - Faster HDT-SMP". 🙂 Make sure to really choose the "Faster" mod - it’s the improved version and works like a charm.
what would be the poise mods you recommand for the newest versions of skyrim SE?
what's a good mod for an unarmed/dualwield blocking mechanic? I run MCO, with valhalla combat.
Amazing
Im really not satisfied with my current combat setup. There are too many bugs and discrepancies. Will clear my whole combat section and try your setup instead!
I would recomment to add "BadAss Get-Up Animation".
Even I don't like Skyrim, I'm preparing for the SkyOblivion and SkyWind
After installing Rudy ENBV for NAT 3 i lost the precision trail replacer you have any idea why?
hi I have a question, does the ashes of war for npc mod also works alongside SCAR?
what are you using for landscapes?
Hey, very very great video you got there. I have a question to ask, is there any way to you to show your load order that combine your UI+HUD and combat overhaul? I'm new to modding skyrim and have no idea how to set the load order. Thank you
That's all in here czcams.com/video/msreiell7qE/video.html
I need help, the combat valhalla mod won't let me go stealth, it just dodges, it doesn't matter if I'm in combat or not
i don't know what was the problem of my nemesis because i download the valhalla and the requirments for the valhalla and the distar attack animation was not showing in my nemesis is there any way to fix this i need really help, i clear all my mods and uninstall my skyrim and reinstall it and i'm using vortex and clear the nemesis cache folder again and again but it still not reading the valhalla mod and it still no distar attack animation in my nemesis engine (sorry for my english)
Edit: i Just recently fix it the reason was i don't have attack mco dxp why i ignore this requirment because the website was closed and i found the new website and now my problem is solve and the animation was so good like BDO game
Does this have Mods collections for vortex? so that it will be much easier to install with just a single click
whats the dual wield blocking mod at 4:20 ? (lol) (but seriously)
edit: oops, it's in the video. it's called dual wield parrying skse
Can you please link the walk and sprint animations you are using, they seem to blend in pretty well imo
Walking is the goetia idle walk and run animations. The sprint is called Dynamic Sprint
Thank you for the awesome breakdown, btw where is that sword from thats on your back?
Its gladius from the Christine dragon gladiator armor pack
hey i am struggling to make the tk dodge re work i've tried everything i could possibly think of got any tips. i've tried all the options recommended on reddit and on the mod description itself
nice, what's armor u use? (male and female) =)
This looks cool. The last time I got into Skyrim modding it seems people only wanted to turn it into Dark Souls. This looks more fun.
I'm worried about all the hotkeys though, because I'd prefer to play with a gamepad.
This is probably a weird request, but my issue with all these hotkey mods is that I get confused with my controls, and never know which key to bind it to! What are you guys’ keybinds? Id like to get inspired.
I use controller and have to unbind some keys and then rebind somewhere else
just trying the game, hope these work for me on 1617 , se and ae
Holy cow, how does your game look really good AND smooth? Mine stutters and looks like crap and we have relatively similar specs...
Need some of these for my ps5
silly question: which boxes do I tick on Nemesis for this modlist?
Sorry for bother you, i follow all your steps! But my problem is i want to main a Katana weapon but all the animations here are for other weapons you know...what should i do? Can you link me a good Katana animation mod and weapons? (ER Katana doesnt work for me i dont know why)
What version are you using ? I'm trying elden rim on 1.6.640 and it ain't working
If you can please make installation instructions Im about to pull out my hair because I dont know if I should install elden rim for OAR or MCO...
Can someone pls tell how to find and activate these animations INGAME.... I am so lost...
Do all of these mods work with the current version of Skyrim AE?
@softgaming Hi! Love the channel. My NPCs don't recoil after I do a perfect block with Vahalla combat... Do you have this issue, or have any idea why it is happening?
Great Video i must say
However despite Following every step as you showed in this video i was still not able to replicate the fluid and sick animations. What must i be doing wrong, any suggestions?
I'm using Nolvus and my combat is wonky as hell. I'm gona try changing the 360°movement to vanilla setting when unscathed when I get home. I think most mods were designed with mouse and keyboard intended to. I'm using a controller. I might try switching my joystick to movement key input.
So cool
is there a setup install package Or big zip file of the game? i want your version
So, I have all of these mods installed and everything is working perfectly. But.. How do you Dodge like that? With the animations.
The dodge is the dynamic dodge mod with TK dodge RE
great video, way to go to make it a modern game, just like to know if this can be controller compatible?
Most to all of the mods are.
How does the MCO build compare to the valvalis one?
My character T-poses when getting staggered while attacking. How do I fix this?
Why do you not make a mod pack out of your modlist? Would be super nice and easy
how do u install mco dxp manually?
I see alot if people using this mod doing a back flip how do you do that???
what's the difference between poise and chocolate poise though?
Hi great vid just wondering what fire mod your using for the torches and what not as the fire looks really good... thanks
Called Embers XD
thank you
what mod are you using for two handed sword animations? 2:21
for some reason Attack cancel doesnt work ? anyone has this problem ?
Was the Valhalla combat mod installed on an older version of Skyrim? Im very very new to this kind of stuff but id really love to get into it... I've watched a few tutorials but have trouble with the Valhalla one because there are a lot of other mods that go with it...
Thank you so much! :D @@elemental-zs6if
Did you have to rearrange nemesis patch order to get this all working properly? I've tried multiple different orders to the patching and depending on the order different things break/don't register.
No I didn't change any order. You should clear your nemesis cache/output though if you changing mods
I can't get this to work. I installed everything and it seems to load the moves.
any Melee Combat like wrestling or mma... atleast Kung Fu?! with finishers?
What graphics mods/textures do you use mate?
Thanks
Will this work on Special Edition 1.6.1170 Steam Version? I dont know how to downgrade to 1.5.97
i can't use the normal attack while on third person, pls help
