I always wanted to try my hand at modding Dragon Age but never got around to it. How does its editor compare the Construction Set, Smoosh?

The Dragon Age editor is good for changing around dialogue, but the interface is annoying for editing content. I also could never get the DA editor running for the Expansion Pack, and so my mods always end up half-finished.
I also read that you change the animals :P I want to try and make them like domesticated dogs. How awesome would it be to have a sabre cat follower?

Hmmm, I'll probably try my hand at it one of these days but I won't get my hopes up then. Oh well, I'll have my hands full with modding Skyrim for a while anyway. *lol* Pretty awesome, indeed. Take a look at this tutorial here. It's by a modder named Maigrets who has made lots of animal follower mods. I don't know how much different the Creation Kit will be from the CS but it should get you started in the right direction anyway. http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/tutorials/article/50-my-simple-creature-companion-tutorial/

The Creation Kit and the High Resolution texture pack has been released today. Via a thread on the rphwatch.com you can learn how to get them both. http://www.rpgwatch.com/?rwsiteid=1#18941And the Beth Blog also has some nice info: Best of all, access to the Skyrim Workshop and Creation Kit is free for anybody with a Steam account and a copy of Skyrim.
With the Skyrim Workshop, finding and installing your favorite mods is easier than ever before. Mod-makers will also enjoy a streamlined process for uploading mods directly to Steam.
Finding and Installing Mods
Ready to begin a whole new adventure? Finding mods for Skyrim is as simple as visiting the Skyrim Workshop in the Steam Community. Here you’re able to browse the most popular, newest or highest-rated mods of all time, as well as searching for specific content via tags such as “Armor”, “Quests”, “Dungeons”, and more.
Once you have found a mod you’d like to play, click the “Subscribe” button. Be sure to check the mod description for any special instructions, such as which NPC starts a quest, or how to acquire new items. The next time you play Skyrim, the launcher will automatically install the latest version of any subscribed mods and configure Skyrim to run them. source: http://www.bethblog.com/2012/02/07/skyrim-just-got-even-bigger/

Hi Skyrimmers! Just bought this game and loaded it yesterday. I haven't ever used Steam before and wonder why you even need it. I had no idea this was an online game. L4L, it's not the same as WoW, right? We can't play together or chat while in game, can we? Why do so many people dislike Steam? Sorry for all the dumb questions. Thanks everybody! Andrea

Hi ya Andrea I'm glad you found us. We can't play toghether online but we can chat if we are both playing at the same time by setting up the chat option. Son is not up at the moment, but I'll ask for specific instructions when he is. I'm sure folks dislike Steam for many reasons. Some don't like to be required to be online when playing a stand-alone game. Others don't have enough "net time" to be able to afford to be online to play...for instance those with download limits. I have not had a problem with them though.  Let me know your toon's name and I'll add you...but as you know from WoW, I'm not playing anything at the moment.

They will Andrea, they will.... I will add Zandrea to my friend's list. It's been so long since I played Skyrim, I don't remember my toon's name.  But I'll check in a bit....

Can someone tell me if there's an easier way to target enemies? I find it hard to track the ones that are jumping around and hit their sweet spot to bring them down.

I'm not sure, Debra. I'm always trying to kill everything before they even know I'm there so they're usually pretty still.
If I seem quiet in this topic for a while it's because I'm hard at work on Juniper Ridge Farm, my first housing mod. I'll probably be finished with that tomorrow. I'm also working on my Animal Planet mod, I call it. I currently have the sabre cats and bears all friendly to me and I'll be working on the other animals as I go.
