Fort Greymoor? Did you think that through at all? How would a Thalmor invasion force manage to penetrate that far into Skyrim without being noticed? If there's anything that gets a Nord's attention, it's Thalmor traipsing around. Back to the drawing board with you! Dead Crone Rock or Deep Folk Crossing or Forgotten Vale would make more sense, or even Solitude or Dawnstar for a seaborne invasion. Maybe even Markarth, if you can weave a fanciful tale about a hidden Dwemer passage under the mountains from High Rock or Hammerfell in the west. Even a tale for a Falkreath invasion over the pass from western Hammerfell could be spun, but Fort Greymoor? That's nonsense.
Or the many legal Thalmor patrols that have been roaming Skyrim for a while now have gathered up at Fort Greymoor, perfectly possible. Nice constructive tone btw with that "Back to the drawing board with you!".
That wasn't to say I thought he must start over from scratch, only that the choice of locale for it seemed unlikely and implausible. As widely hated as the Thalmor are - notice that murdering them usually doesn't even count as murder? - they would be noticed if they passed by one area and then didn't appear as expected farther down the road.
The Thalmor may be watching the Nords, but the Nords are certainly watching the Thalmor. Whatcha wanna bet that the "prisoners" those patrols in your scenario were shuttling are actually sacrificial spies to keep tabs on their captors? Excuse me whilst I go murder some Thalmor myself.
I'm gonna have to agree with Vulcan on this one. I mean so far into Whiterun Hold with the Western Watchtower right there? Seems utterly not possible. But then again, when you first start the game Greymoor is overrun with bandits. But an invasion starting smack dab in the middle of Skyrim...yea, not possible.
This is his/her? mod, if it's not to your liking either don't download it or make your own mod. It's real easy to complain any fool can do it! Everybody is a critic, it's real easy to rip apart (and you know rip is correct no constructive criticism in that comment) someone else's mod when your......... a _ _ is NOT on the line, so....................... Vulcan, how many mods have you created and put them on Steam or Nexus ???
I most certainly did provide constructive criticism: I offered specific alternatives. What exactly was constructive about your criticism of my comments? Absolutely nothing. Right from the start you veered off into trying to discredit me the person rather than my argument. You dipped fully into the ad hominem pool with your last sentence in particular. To borrow from your tirade: it's easy to attack and try to discredit the person rather than his well constructed argument.
The only way a modder can improve is through feedback...I can't understand why you take such umbrage to this modder being provided an opportunity to improve...
Yes, it is easy to criticize isn't it, but when it becomes venomous criticism (did you think that one through, back to the drawing board etc, etc), it's no longer constructive, whether you are pointing out alternatives or not. It comes across as bullying....... evidentially you have a higher tolerance to rudely obnoxious comments, (your own), than most people. I see you didn't answer my question Vulcan, how many mods have you yourself made and put on Nexus and or Steam??? If so have you had to deal with questionable comments from someone like you? Not that you are going to hear this but you need to seriously reaccess your definition of constructive criticism. If you don't believe me look through some of the posts again! It's all.....in the content and tone of your critique that makes the difference. Kindness won't kill you, believe me! I am not deluding myself in thinking that this post and my previous post directed at Vulcan are constructive at all, you get what you give. Just in case you were wondering I have no connection to the author of this mod at all, I just don't like bully's who may or may not know they are bully's.
I've published two now, but that is irrelevant. What is relevant is that you had NOTHING at all to counter my criticism of this mod. All you've done is ignore my arguments and repeatedly try to discredit me the person rather than those specific arguments. In doing so you simply reinforce that my criticisms were accurate. You've had nothing at all constructive to say, so why are you here, just for the politics? I can deal with constructive criticism just fine, regardless of the way it's delivered, but I certainly do have difficulty with behavior like yours that isn't constructive. Why don't you retaliate by running over to one of my files and repeat your behavior here so I can more easily report you? OTOH if you can actually manage a constructive criticism then I won't care what particular choice of words you use to make it.
I didn't attack or criticize this modder personally, ONLY HIS WORK, but you have done precisely what you accused me of doing and instead attacked me personally in this thread.
I would agree VulcanTourist. A good mod, works very well; Mechanically sound. But I would recommend a different Fort, one more plausible for your design.
