[Zeeexify]

Shhh.... you dont want to wake up MOM AND DAD!!

[xxxTheDominator16xxx]

At 3:23 the screen flashes blue for a split second.

[diehardwalnut]

Watch it in 1080p ya goofs

[fatalmaverick]

There's a new video up episode 9... and I think I cured my blood disease

[kostmen1]

no see different.

[kevinator4]

I've got a great idea. I'll roll out of bed dying of some rare blood disease while thinking about my puppy that was just run over by a city bus the other day... and I'll commentate a youtube video. that's what you sound like.

[fatalmaverick]

@kevinator4 lol id say thats pretty accurate

[Sepheroth4791]

@kevinator4 At least you did't make a big deal about his voice being so thick skinny people's always gotta bring a fatty down. :p

[BronzeApples]

Argonian looks wayy better on the before; however, the water mod was much nicer along with the 2k textures.

[hromi]

thank u bro for this video, makes me to go and start playing Skyrim immediately ;)

[dieneddie]

um i 100% prefer the BEFORE.. the video on the right..no contest it looks all the way better

[fatalmaverick]

@dieneddie good then you don't need to modify your game at all =)

[ditycopgangsta]

The right side videos look better... Especially the races and all.

[ultramobile1]

lol...good to play skyrim when you are high as f...ck

[vertigoandblastoise]

beautiful skyrim... hubbunumm... into it... esp.. hubuumm... update...

your voice, let it be more lively! (comment intended as constructive criticism)

[Cears45]

I couldn't see any difference most of the time, because you kept moving 

[Aleth86]

2k hd textures looks not nice

[xXImFluffehXx]

Why do you need 1000 Watts?

[Fomincev]

best presentation

[1Adr1an6]

The vanilla water in Skyrim looks just as good, there's no need to change some areas, and ALL developers use some kind of photography in the development of textures.

[abram730]

I'd like to see a comparison between Realistic Colors and Real Nights mod and iCC ENB. I haven't tried iCC, but I do like Realistic Colors mod with it's 2 pass HDR.

[Liladfbc]

I installed all of them and makes my game look amazing

[havekc]

I think the video is great I marked like but when you are doing the comparison showing you should slow down the video more so people can compare better. The video was going so fast when I was trying to compare whiterun to the vanilla side I barely had enough time to look at both sides of the video it was too fast.

[Poodleinacan]

I need a mod that removes artificial lighting. Only lighting with a source should be left, and torches and fire lighting area should be lowered... A cave with no lights should be dark.

[Nillerus]

Nice mods, can't wait to get my hands on a gaming PC again! But who committed that horrible crime to the ingame font, and WHY!? Skyrim vanilla's menus are beautiful, BECAUSE they juxtapose a modern, condensed sans-serif font with a minimalist take on the typical adventure/RPG overly decorated style. But no, someone thought they'd just throw Trajan in there for lulz. Gah, horrible.

[JTMarch86]

But thanks for the video

[JTMarch86]

It would be so much better if you didn't sound like you're bored out of your mind at a funeral or something...I mean seriously dude....

[Marveh]

nice, really wish i had a nice pc so i could run these mods / texture packs i liked :)

[Controlle88]

How can magic be realistic?

[h0rschdify]

looks good, especially the spells, but the decals for the firebolt are a little big or is it me?

[jobforabutcher]

@cutelittleball what he's doing is called "informing" us, pull up a chair, sit down, open an ear, listen to what the man has to say, honestly I'm really intrigued by what this video demonstrates

[jobforabutcher]

This video is what's driving me to get

My ass in gear and build a new comp and not play on my damn Xbox, still debating on weather to go SLI or not :/

[fatalmaverick]

@jobforabutcher Sir sir your words are far too kind. Indeed the console experience can be dulled down but it is good you are aspiring to go with the PC version, as you can see there is much fun to be had. SLI can be dependent on your price range of course. I myself am aiming to get a second 560ti, which are about $300 ea.

[Xx1Ryan1xX]

@fatalmaverick Honestly I just bought two 550ti fermi's for 220$ for both and yeah it only has a 2Gig buffer zone, but I'm running Bf3 at 60-80fps on 64player maps. its all about how much you're willing to spend

[mugen1237]

@jobforabutcher Just get a 580 like I did and save money and be prepared for upcoming games.

[fatalmaverick]

@mugen1237 Too late I already bought the second 550ti... ;S

[matt133825]

@fatalmaverick i hope you didnt pay $300 for a gtx 560 ti i just my second one on ebay for $180. where did you get it?

[fatalmaverick]

@matt133825 for $300.. :(

[mugen1237]

@fatalmaverick Wow. You paid way too much. I bought my 580 for $350 off Ebay...How is it anyways?

[fatalmaverick]

@mugen1237 Well, I can max out Skyrim with full mods on 1080p with minimal lag... so theres that ;p

[mugen1237]

@fatalmaverick That's great still. The card is still very good. I was just saying that you could get some EVGA 580s for around the price range and even the 570. You play BF3 with FXAA? That game looks AWESOME with the FXAA mod....

[BlindsideDork]

IMO the right side looks better...

[fatalmaverick]

@BlindsideDork The right side is the updated one (on whiterun)

[BlindsideDork]

@fatalmaverick oh, I guess I missed why the left side said AFTER.

[fatalmaverick]

@BlindsideDork lol i just inhaled permanent markers before labeling that

[Cowculuss]

I hit dislike on 5 different accounts.



[fatalmaverick]

@Cowculuss and I liked your cute little Illutia vid on 100 different accounts! d'awww

[elevown]

Almost all those 'improvements' look worse lol..

[fatalmaverick]

@elevown I like how you phrase your own opinion as fact.

[danesbenoit]

@fatalmaverick Probably a console gamer :P

[dan4real2]

Well done, keep em coming

[cutelittleball]

why are you talking for more than 10s without any video? not gonna watch this.

[fatalmaverick]

@cutelittleball what? lol...

[fatalmaverick]

@fatalmaverick and yet you take the time to comment =)

[KerriganVODs]

They way you labelled for this particular video was REALLY confusing. Yes, you did speak about it, but labelling before and after is a quicker "read", especially for the deaf. Something to consider.

[fatalmaverick]

@KerriganVODs Yeah I uh... got really lazy with the labelling, I'll have to work on that ;p

[KerriganVODs]

@fatalmaverick Haha, no prob.

[brianakirk]

watched all your videos, keep it up mate :)

[fatalmaverick]

@brianakirk Thank you for your kindness Kirk ;D

[UncleSam83]

Thanks man, very useful. Cheers

[fatalmaverick]

If you guys are watching this, please be sure to check out my fifth episode! Links at the end of this video :)

[morfinf1]

If you like me, still haven't bought the game, bought enjoying the mods people are posting. Once there are enough will buy, otherwise, great video

[fatalmaverick]

@morfinf1 Yeah I used to do that with Oblivion, good to wait until the creation pack I guess.

[Crossfire990]

I'm trying to install only the extra magic effects, and it's saying to install it in a textures folder, yet mine doesn't exist.. And doesn't work if I create one.

[fatalmaverick]

@Crossfire990 Ahh this one is a bit more complicated... You have to create a folder called 'impactdecals' inside your 'Data' folder and put the .dds files into that folder.

[7eitgeist]

Great video man, keep em coming!

[MrSwed4201]

Fantastic video. Unfortunately im suffered to play skyrim on ps3 till i can afford a good computer. Once i have my new PC skyrim will be a whole new game : )

[fatalmaverick]

@MrSwed4201 Thank you for your kind feedback good sir

[wctwctwctwct]

Liked. GJ was entertaining

[nazaxprime]

L & S'd. Thanks. My laptop makes me sad. xD

[merciless1337]

sexylol



[Ephigy17]

Loving the work you're doing in STEP. Made my Skyrim look so amazing! =D

[fatalmaverick]

@dlindsey102 Thank you sir for taking the time to give feedback! :)

[ScOpEuOuT]

Thanks for vids...keep em' coming! XD

Would love the inclusion of a mage dragon battle for next vid...would be epic! :D

Also did the shock magic effects change at all?

Thanks again

[fatalmaverick]

@ScOpEuOuT That is a great idea,

No unfortunately only ice and fire so far. :( I'm sure he'll add shock in a further update though.

[deltaStorm01]

It definetely looks better then Vannila. Thank you! Keep up the good work! :D

[heathenwarwolf]

With your rig, can you use SSAO and SSx2 without no more fps drop ?

[fatalmaverick]

@heathenwarwolf Yes indeed minimal loss on my end, the game still runs fine.

[fatalmaverick]

I love you all. I'm going to bed now I hope this feedback spree continues to 50 and beyond and I look forward to gathering footage for my next video for you guys :)

[TheThomQ]

Nice man. Excellent video.. At first I wanted to go that route as well. comparison and maybe some commentary, but I chose to make mine sort of showcasey.. :P (lazy ;) )

[fatalmaverick]

@TheThomQ Haha yeah yours is great in it's own right, together these videos are unstoppable :O

[Vapkez]

Liked, and subbed, great videos thanks !

[Vapkez]

Thanks for the videos, Please post more.

[fatalmaverick]

@Vapkez Thank you kind sir for your patronage :)

[InitialD91]

@viewers

Please, if you enjoyed the video, "like" it. Show fatalmaverick how much you appreciate the time and effort he puts into doing this for US. It sucks when good things have to end because people can't be bothered to support them

@fatalmaverick

You're getting better with each video, keep it up. I truly hope that you continue with this series, though I understand where you're coming from about not doing so.

Liked, faved, and subbed. Best wishes,

InitialD91 (Incommendatus on SkyrimNexus)

[fatalmaverick]

@InitialD91 Ah, comments like these warm the heart :)

Thank you for your continued support and your kind words, people like you make these videos worthwhile :D
