So sad I'm in one of the last places to celebrate New Year. It's like being completely LTTP. At least I'm not in Hawaii. They're dead last.
 

Immersive Weapons is pretty cool. It's like Immesive Armors, just adds a lot more weapons that you can find and craft. Not as important on a first playthrough, but it adds some replayability.

Also Convenient Horses. It lets you adjust the speed your horses run (and a bunch of other things). If you're not a fan of fast-travelling constantly, boost your horse's speed up to 11 and ride it everywhere.

Thanks guys this is exactly what I was hoping for.

There is couple more i am forgetting. I had a list handy that i used from someone but added my recommendations and my own mods.

Don't get Dogs of Skyrim or Better clouds you with have graphic incompatibilities with the above mods. Pets of Skyrim should give you dogs to the world anyway. The key is to get the character mods working first because thats where you will run into most of the problems. The other stuff is easy.

Mother of god... Thank you for the work you put into that.

Happy new Year fellow GAFfers! I wish you the best 2014 can give it to you. May your fun with this fine hobby never cease to stop and may you all have some fun weather is buying games, collecting them, playing them or cleaning/increasing your Backlog. Just never forget that's it's all about having fun.

Also, never stop improving this amazing Community. We all know that every now and then there's some rude people who do not care about GAF as a strong community place and decide to shake things but you all are so much clever than that and always managed to be superior to such things.

I hope the very best for you all, hope you are getting a nice evening/night. Thank you for being in here, helping, supporting, giving good advices about games, DLC's, life, backlogs, and everything else. You can always count on me, in here, via a PM, on Steam Chat, etc if you ever need anything. Don't hesitate to talk if something is wrong and you believe I may do something to help or even to cheer things up a bit.

I'm proud to be here but most of all, to belong in here. :)

I got some help from Unreal (Gaffer). I just put my own changes to that list with some inclusions.

Just finished playing Ys I for the first time one hour in and I'm liking it it's very easy to get into just not to crazy about the music it's nice that they give you different options though might just spend the new year playing Ys.
 
try disabling all the overlay stuff too like steam overlay and fraps

Ah, bugger. I had the very same issue and eventually tracked it down to D3DO. The only other possible solution that come to mind is to kill the D3DO exe itself (although I don't think I had to go that far).

Thanks guys for your help, but it still is not working =(. I will just send in a support ticket to 2K.
Like that will work

I think I will pull the trigger on Grid 2 after trying the demo.
Can anyone who has the game fill me in on these questions:

- Can you turn off/Is there a mod to turn off the chromatic abberation effect on the HUD/menus? It's blurry and looks dumb.
- Is there any drawback from using the flashback feature? Seems like it could make the game way easier.
- How's the car selection?

hows Grid 2 Monk, good? I need to try it one of these days
 

Well if it makes you feel any better I haven't named any of my brave little soldier boys or girls :). [It's because I know they will be dead sooner or later and it would upset me if I named them after people I know :(. It's bad enough when they're just provided by the game and I've got fond of them because they took names and kicked asses in multiple missions and then they get killed :'(.] However, since it's you :p I'll name one of my soldiers, who actually looks vaguely like your Romulan girlfriend funnily enough, after you when I go back to it in a minute, okay? :)

When I read posts like that from you I just feel glad to be alive :D.

Bless you, you fine fellow GAFer <3

Oh and it's New Year here in the UK so Happy New Year to you all. Big hugs and sloppy kisses all around!

Actually now that I think about it the 2nd one has some dumb QTE-esqe sections and a fair bit of "Uncharted" platforming. I guess my mind blotted those memories out a bit.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I bought LA Noire because I like point and click adventure games. I suspect this game will be similar. And hey, $5.

Happy new year, Steam GAF. I'm glad to be a part of this community.

1- Can you turn off/Is there a mod to turn off the chromatic abberation effect on the HUD/menus? It's blurry and looks dumb.
2-Is there any drawback from using the flashback feature? Seems like it could make the game way easier.
3- How's the car selection?

1- I'm not sure if I understand this fellow GAFfer, sorry. But if you don't like something in the HUD you can always turn it off.

2- Not that I'm aware of, in others game you can get more or less XP is you use it, but in here the point is for you to get more fans, there's various difficulty setttings if you want to increase or lower the difficulty.

3- Seems nice so far, you get some and unlock others by getting some special quick events. There's one Free DLC and the others are at discount now which seems tempting but I guess you should be fine with the selection that the game offers.

hows Grid 2 Monk, good? I need to try it one of these days

Still in it! Game looks really good. 60 FPS is amazing, nice sound engines which can be even better if you have a decent sound setup, which I do not but will keep an eye on upgrading for a better sound experience. Still have to play at night which seems to be the best setting for an eye-candy experience. Many people complain about the no cockpit view but I'm more than okay with that since I like chase view. Muito obrigado! :D

I talk alot :/ sorry

No, that's a great thing! It makes the Community alive and up to date. :)
