Can someone explain to me what the fuck creation club content is and why it has to be downloaded for skyrim anniversary edition. I fucking doubt its high quality content.
You don't know about that shit? Oh boy I have another excuse to shit on CC slop! I'm going to assume you know what CC is and are just asking what the Anniversary Edition has? TL;DR
shit that by itself isn't worth paying for in a vacuum but
real modders can use to liven up the world more than Bethesda ever can, even the free shit like fishing which the original creator heavily gimped is enhanced greatly by better modders. I mention this as you mentioned Wabbajack in the other half of your post, and a lot(raincheck) of Wabbajack lists use AE this days. As for why you're forced to download it...I mean you bought it right? As for the free shit...dunno but you can at least disable what you don't want.
On a sidenote anyone know how to make wabbajack actually detect cc content after the fact as I was a gigantic faggot and didnt read the readmes properly and fucked up the modpack installation.
Hm, judging by the first half of your post you had to have ran Skyrim at least once to install the AE shit, say are you using the Steam or GOG version of Skyrim? Due to how hashes and shit work, if a modlist requires the Steam version of Skyrim and you have the GOG version, you're fucked. I think some mods have problems too on top of that, it's retarded and why I can only recommend Skyrim on Steam (in-contrast of me recommending Daggerfall anywhere
but Steam). Basically, Skyrim's version, down to the game's hashes, needs to be 1:1, if anything is even slightly different it doesn't work. This video has a lot of fixes for various basic problems you might come across.
One example of bad creation club content is the "Legends Lost" quest which adds Sunder and Wraithguard to Skyrim after chasing a series of notes across the map. It culminates in a Dwemer/Falmer dungeon near Winterhold and it's completely bugged out. To get into the final part of the dungeon you have to turn clipping off, go through a wall, and activate an invisible door. Additionally if you manage to get Wraithguard and Sunder before finishing the College of Winterhold side quest where the guy hits a soul gem with keening and disappears it has no bearing, dialogue, or interaction despite the guy saying "well I don't have wraithguard and sunder here" which he will still say even if you're standing there wearing wraithguard and holding sunder.
Haven't heard of this shit before, always defaulted to
Tools of Kagrenac for those specific tools (don't forget the better Keening). The most egregious once I know of-in terms of lore and implementation rapeage at least-is the Divine Crusader. The Crusader Relics are for the most virtuous of us. So much so as that if you are impure the gear will be unliftable like Thor's Hammer (forgive the capeshit version, I mentioned the capeshit version as in the actual mythology IIRC Mjolnir was just heavy as fuck so only Thor or people with Thor's strength can wield it as opposed to being "locked to the unworthy"). If you are "pure" but commit a sin while wearing or wielding the gear, they will slip off of you and out your hands (lore wise). So how and why the
fuck do
Bandits have them. Their original fucking name before they became "unique" npcs was "
Bandit Thief". They wore the
fucking full set and even a light armor "reforged" variant (fun fact, light shields exist in the game, the light armor does not come with a light shield variant of the Shield of the Crusader, it's just a
shoulder piece, it works with mage armor too).
The new "lore fixed" version (the lore rape was so bad that I think this is the first and only Creation Club mod to be revamped because of how bad it was) made it so that the two bandits (now named) did not in fact have the items. Instead two
dead bandits somehow got the armor on and died. The armor isn't supposed to kill you, if you're evil you can't even wear, if you become "impure" while wearing it it'll slip off, so no idea how these bandits even got the armor on in the first place. I will give credit where credit is due, if
you are a bad person you can't wear the armor (I think, I haven't checked the specifics of the mod in a while), if you wear it and perform a crime you
instead can't regenerate stamina (I don't believe you can bypass it worth enchantments and potions) and your carry weight is reduce by 100 (lol) but can still wear it...nice lore fix jackass.
Alright, so lets say you're a goody two shoes and never commit any crime, great! You should be able to wear it, right? Not for long
faggot as the mod's scripts were even less proof-read than the lore! What is recognized as a "sin" is a fucking enigma as it seems that even sneezing is considered one. A villain attacks you first and you have to commit self-defense? Sin. Enter a dungeon of any sort as a random ass cave in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere? Sin, you're trespassing on this...uh...bear's territory. Somehow not get labeled a sinner for entering a dungeon and defending yourself but find a chest that you have to lockpick? Sin you dirty thief! So how do you redeem yourself? Go on a pilgrimage of course. It consists of finding shrines placed all over Skyrim (no you can't go to the temple of Solitude, that's cheating) in unmarked locations that usually have enemies surrounding it, if you commit a "sin" while in the middle of a quest you have to start all over, and remember what I said about defending yourself you filthy sinner? And if you do this pilgrimage and then proceed to do an arbitrary action that the game considers a "sin" you have to do the pilgrimage all over again. Oh and the quest is buggy too so it might not even clear your "sins" and allow you to wear the armor. Have fun, $5 please (remember when in response to the outrage over the pricing of credits, Bethesda raised them? That was funny)!
Sorry for the sperging, I'm a lore nerd and I love to shit on mod authors, CC or otherwise. Do yourself a favorite, disable that shit and get either
The Breton Paladin or my personal favorite
The Doom Drum. Matter of fact, take my """associate's""" (probably outdated)
Creation Club alternatives guide. And if you see him, tell him to tell me I'm a faggot for not writing more guides myself. The guide also has a remade quest for the Creation Club addon if you insist on using it.
