    Found your channel a week ago and I really like the mods you showcase because they mostly are not dependent on other mods, like some combat mods and other with heavy scripts. So it is easy to ad these mods to my current modlist. I also like that you get into it quickly, not a very long intro. And I also like that you focus on mods that compliments vanilla skyrim, sometimes next gen graphic mods is a bit much next gen so it feels out of place. And can you tell what mod you have for the steel sword in the intro? 0:13 Is it a reskin of steel weapons or standalone?

    Soooo diablo town portal mechanic. Love it. Im a person who uses fast travel a lot becuse i hate trying to scale mountains in my way of getting to my objective when im trying to complete a quest i keep getting destracted from and i don't wanna be distracted any more ........... so i need a mod that takes that away if the town portal one does not.

    In terms of exploring, I think The People of Skyrim is pretty great. It just makes the world more lively. There's also a modpack on vortex for that so that you wouldn't need to worry about compatibility. But there's also The People of Skyrim 2 which is more compatible with other mods. Both mods aren't fully the same with added locations so it really refreshes the exploration.

    Great video as always! For the record though.... going around mountains and through passes (of which Skyrim has many and they are cool) is what 99.99999% of humans have done. Building a bunch of hard to maintain wooden skybridges so you can have a much more perilous and difficult journey is not immersive haha. I have noted that Skyclimb allows you to climb slanted rock faces so you can immersively climb... and fall to your death lol.

    i wonder there is a mod to travel on a cart without the inta teleport? it could be nice a mod that let you jump on it and then the cart ride you there. You would be virtually invisible so that dangerouse random encounters see you as friendly so they don't stop the ride or bug your game. And maybe more travelers can join you on the cart and you can listen to their stories. Also maybe i would be able to ear a full carriage speech of the driver as he always get interrupted half way

    Boy, does Skyrim need a lore friendly revamp in exploration and questing. There are way too many mods on animation, QoL , graphical improvements and all kinds of things that doesnt build on the gameplay. We need new dungeons and and new questlines, snow elven ruins and dungeons, Grey Host vampire dungeons like Dimhollow (now that ESO opened up that piece of lore on Western Blackreach), hidden akaviri temples ruins like Sky Haven Temple, ghastly haunted castles that somehow did not make into vanilla, lost dunmeri crypts in Solstheim, new kinds of lore friendly enemies to fight, and NPCs giving quests with these new features, new spells, new quests for the guilds, a lore-friendly Vigillant of Stendarr questline... It seems all modders interested in this kind of lore-friendly vanilla-blending work are all already occupied with Beyond Skyrim and Skyblivion though.

    Those fast travel options should have been included with survival mode. Walking from Whiterun to High Hrothgar repeatedly, or from Winterhold College to anywhere repeatedly is obnoxious. Seriously, the closest carriage to the dark brotherhood sanctuary is Whiterun. I’m 105 hours into a master difficulty survival play through and I haven’t met up with the “friend” (Delphine) at the inn in Riverwood because I know she’ll eventually want me to go back to High Hrothgar. A trip I just don’t feel like doing.

    redshift, can you please just make a no comment video where you just showcase combat. Despite your combat being vanilla-ish, I just want to see it

    Why does every youtuber use that ugly unrealistic grass bending effect? It doesn't matter what video I watch and what is presented in it, this still cracks my eyes. I'm not criticizing the video, I'm just curious why this ugly effect is so popular. The video is good, informative and mentions exactly what I am interested in.
