Skyrim PC tweak allows for in-game map 'street view'
One of the most impressive Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim mods proves why the PC version is king. It allows players to zoom deep into the in-game world map, much like Google Street View.
There are a number of outstanding (and even creepy) mods available for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, making it hard for me to recommend any version other than the PC release. One of the most impressive game tweaks is 'Map in Full 3D,' which helps adjust the game's ini file to allow players to zoom all the way down to street level from the in-game world map.
According to the map notes, players will see their surrounding area in high detail, because the game has preloaded that section. Other areas will appear in lower quality. The map also does not work indoors or in towns, something the creator is attempting to fix.
Make sure to keep your eyes on the ultimate source for Skyrim mod discoveries, Skyrim Nexus, for more to enhance your PC experience.

The textures on the whole are pretty damn good looking. But yeah the shadows kind of blow.
-
people are liking playing with the below to try and mitigate the effect that increasing the shadow distance has.
iBlurDeferredShadowMask=5 (Higher numbers blur the shadows)
iShadowMaskQuarter=0 (Lower numbers soften the shadows)

Your mileage may vary. My CPU really doesn't like the increased Shadow dist, it drops the framerate by almost half.

You and me both lingo. Now I just need the money to upgrade it.
-
If you have a TV to play Xbox on and a gaming capable PC, you can have the best of both worlds for the price of a $15.99 HDMI cable.
Infinity FPS, mods, 1080p and beyond, couch.-
$16? Yeesh, where do you buy your cables?
-
The internet. I got a 50' HDMI cable for $44.00 that I will bet money looks no different from your $300 retardo-ripoff cables.
-
You read that shit right, 50 FEET.
-
lol, I was making fun of you for spending too much, not too little. But yeah, that actually sounds great for 50'.

But..but.. you can pc from your couch with minimal effort!
-
-
IAWTP. I don't know why people always say couch gaming is more comfortable. Being right up on my monitor/sitting in a comfy chair > couch gaming.
-
I have this thing where I would rather psuedo lay-down if possible. It makes things really uncomfortable for guests but whatevs.
-
Projector onto a slanted wall above your bed? One of my friends' houses is perfect for this setup, I can't imagine playing games like that for extended periods of time though.

I always do my first play through vanilla, so this won't get any use from me yet - but it looks awesome - might be a definite use for later playthroughs.

Yes, this, it took me a while to figure out the Miscellaneous category in its entirety can be toggled as well as the individual quests.

I have all floating quest markers AND the compass turned off. Know how I find shit? I look for it! Ask people questions, use deductive reasoning based on the town layout, use landmarks, that type of thing.
The only thing I use the map for is to determine whether or not I'm heading towards the right mountain. -
I haven't had any trouble using a combination of the map and compass... work perfectly for exploration for me. I like the fact that they keep a minimalist attitude on the HUD... like no stat bars if they're full. Besides, if you've played previous Elder Scrolls games, you're already used to this aspect of discovery and exploration.
-
I could make the argument that this was intentional to keep the immersion factor. Pulling out your map is certainly more real than seeing a minimap all the time(even though I also get frustrated not knowing where I need to go, it's part of the experience).

Yeah when I put this in last night I couldn't load into the game.

It seems to me the clouds clear away after you've explored points of interest in those areas.
-
There is an INI setting you can set to '0' to turn off all the clouds. It's included in this map mod, but you can just add the line by itself to take out the clouds if you don't want the street-view.

Can we please have a daily Minecraft style Skyrim thread with super awesome links in the OP all colored up pretty-like?
Would also keep these threads to a minimum and would be tons of fun anyway.-

Zeebs, you think it is a bad idea/would never work?
-
-
-
mi scusi??
-
-
I thought you said 'can we please have Minecraft that looks like Skyrim' and I had a mini stroke thinking about how awesome that would be.
-
my brain just broke

Keep the mods coming. Show these console gamers the error of their ways.
-
How about a minimap. It's not like we're still in the stone ages of gaming here.
