READ DESCRIPTION, IMPORTANT INFO!
Requiem 5.1 and up have made many new changes to the overhaul. Most impactful changes are made to armor and the additional resistances they provided (Slash, Blunt resist, etc) There were also some major changes to perks and magical effects. To see all the changes, refer to the Requiem change log below.
requiem.atlassian.net/wiki/sp...
If you are brand new to Requiem or are still experiencing difficulties with the overhaul, then this video will provide you some guidance in your adventure. There are far to many changes in Requiem to cover in a single video but I have provided links below to a few community posts on Reddit that will cover all of the nuances of Requiem.

A lot of people have been asking for the modlist, it's Serenity 2 Version 1.6 from Wabbajack. The additional mods I added are listed below: Sorry for the abysmal format, it was just the easiest way to only show the additions I've made. I put [nodelete] in front of some of them because I was updating at the time and this prevents wabbajack from deleting them. Also, some of the mods are already in Serenity 2 but I moved them lower in the order for compatibiliy.

Thank you for sharing, how hard was it to install serenity 2?? I am very, very low on the modding scene. I use vortex and had to use many guides to use requiem, so my question is of serenity takes a ton of folder/PC knowledge should I just keep my vortex files instead?
@@austinclark6385 Wabbajack IA a really nice tool for auto installing modlists. I recommend watching a video on it as there are some good guides, but the gist of it is you download the program, open it up, select skyrim special edition and browse for the list you want to install. There will be a download button which will then take care of the whole installation process for you. You need to read the Readme before you start your install as there will be instructions on what you need to do before installing. You will need a fresh install of skyrim and certain applications installed on your PC for the auto install to work. If you want it fully automated you will also need to have a premium membership with the Nexus, otherwise you will have to click every mod to download.
@@GreedGaming01 thank you for the reply! I will be devoting my weekend to this I guess. 😂 First step I believe is to switch from vortex to MO2 so that'll be a headache I'm sure.
@@austinclark6385 Yes, as all modlists use MO2 so it would be good to learn. The biggest then with MO2 is the two boxes of lists. The left one shows all your mods added to your mod organizer, if they are checked then they become active, and if active if they have an .esp they will appear on the right pane showing you your active esps and esms. Modding gets easier with experience, so the more you watch KZhead tutorials and practice, the easier it gets.
@@GreedGaming01 Awesome! I'll join that discord this weekend and hopefully if I get into any snags ppl can help me out, are you on there frequently?
I remember when I first played with Requiem and died to the three wolves and the Embershard Mine guard at the door as if I was made of jelly. Then I remember being terrified just by the noise of the flock of birds flying as you cross the Riverwood bridge, laughting afterwards. I know Requiem isn't perfect and some late enemies are just ridiculous, such as Enchanted Spheres, Dragon Priests and Invisible Entities, but I can assure those who doesn't know Requiem: It's hard to go back to Vanilla or to use other mods (I know I tried and couldn't).
Depending on how meta you go, some late game builds are... well, perfect for late game. But that's the fun. You don't play Requiem to get 100% completion in 1 playthrough. You experiment with the builds and have fun.
i agree i cant play without requiem just coming back after using the unofficial one for sse couple years ago
I have the exact same problem I try to mage I died to like two wolves then I played warrior and died for the ambush yard then I played warrior and died for the ambush yard then I played warrior and died for the ambush yard mine then I played warrior and died to the same guard
I'll have to watch, and touch myself to this later today, but wanted to say you're a gem to the Requiem community. This guide will help ease more people into the Requiem mindset. Soon we'll control the entire Skyrim community! Requiem is the game, Skyrim is the mod.
Hope you brings you great pleasure. You are very right about Requiem being the game and Skyrim being the mod. There's no going back after playing Requiem.
You'll have to WHAT?
Bruh huhhhh
Hol up, you gon touch urself? Yo wu
@@CaptinThrillermans said what he said
Dude, as someone who just stumbled upon this while looking to get into requiem, thank you! I've played close to 2,000 hours of various Skyrim incarnations but I've never had the drive to try requiem. I love the more challenging gameplay systems, but it felt daunting to dive into blind. Watching this video has really made me want to give it a go. Very well researched, paced and produced. I'm looking forward to see what other videos you have. Subscribed
Hell yeah man, appreciate the kind words. Hope you have fun in your journey through Requiem!
I just discovered your channel recently, and I am learning a lot about requiem just by watching your streams. I've tried to play it a few times in the past, but I would get too frustrated with stamina management or other mechanics and essentially rage quit. Thank you so much for making this intro, it makes me optimistic that I'll give requiem another try.
This is the exact reason I made this video. I'm glad you've enjoyed the content. Feel free to ask questions during Streams or commenting on videos. Once you get the hang of it Requiem is a master piece. Thanks for watching!
requiem is about making potions and drugging yourself to the next level
@@KaliDurga108 you clearly missed the point of the overhaul, but it's not for everyone.
Thank you for this, it has a lot of good info. What I would have liked to know as a total beginner is that Human Enemies are not at all affected by the Stamina system aside from not being able to PowerAttack. It has been quite an experience being bashed around by Bandits with 0 Stamina and being Disarmed, yet never being able to punish them for wasting their stamina.
The tips about the armour and the bluff spell is extremely useful. I was feeling so useless with Light armour and now I see how the system works a bit better.
Awesome video man. Great quality video/audio, beautiful editing and music, clear and descriptive etc. I'll definitely be subscribing and looking out for future videos like this!
Glad you enjoyed it, greatly appreciated!
The last time I played with Requiem was on Oldrim years ago, it's cool to see how far it's come since then
This could be the start of the best requiem tutorial series, keep up the good work ❤️
Thank you, glad you liked the video!
This was a beautiful video. I hope to see more like this from you and builds.
Most definitely! Thank you for watching as always.
I was really confused when I saw your profile picture
Interesting video, I’m getting interested in trying Requiem out and watching a video makes it easier to get a grasp what you are getting in to.
Thanks for this guide! Will definitely be checking out this mod! Your production value is also insanely high; I Subbed! Expecting great things from you! :)
Thank you for the kind words, hope I live up to the expectations!
I've been hearing of Requiem for years, but never bothered to look into it until now. It doesn't seem to be my cup of tea, but it is a rather interesting mod and might be the most expansive mod that I have ever seen for TES:V. Who knows? Maybe I'll give it a shot one day.
Soo worth it
Definitely worth trying, it's hard to adjust too but it's hard to go back to anything else once you get used to it.
Better yet (if you have the hard drive space, 180 goddamn gigs), Wildlander, the SE "sequel" to Ultimate Skyrim, just released. The thing about Wildlander is it's really not just a Wabbajack modlist any more. It has a launcher with visual presets. I've watched some of the authors dev streams (there were a LOT of them) and the author has gone through pretty much every city mod in the CK and taken the best bits of each (Solitude in particular is *massive* now.) It's been at least a year of work. The amount of effort gone into making sure every mod adds to the experience in a polished way is crazy.
there are other gameplay overhauls out there, i didnt like requiem because it had too many conflicts with other mods.
@@KaliDurga108 You just suck at modding. There's so many requiem patches. If you can't make it work then it really is *YOUR* fault.
Liked and subbed. Never heard of Requiem until now, so thank you VERY much (and thank you Wabbajack!). I am going back to Skyrim now. Thanks for helping to continue to make this my favorite game. This content is VERY much appreciated, thank you!
Welcome to the channel Daniel. Thank you very much for your kind words, it is greatly appreciated! I hope you enjoy requiem and if ever have any questions or need help, just shout in in chat on stream. We have some great Requiem veterans in chat and I'm always down to help.
@@GreedGaming01 Thank You! It's awesome to know you guys can offer such excellent support and expertise.
I’m so glad Dylan Perry recommend your channel. Your videos are just what I needed. Thank you
That's awesome! Dylan is the best, thank you checking out my content, really appreciate it!
It makes my heartbeat and my head crawl and rage. I love it.
Watching this in preparation for my Wildlander playthrough. Played the game for thousands of hours up to 2018.
A guide like this for the wildlander modlist specifically would be awesome
Insane content greed! I've been playing Serinity 2 for 2 months and I'm in love with it! Best Modpack combination ever! I have a lot exp modding skyrim with requiem but I've never seen nothing so well builded as S2, impressive! I've added feel life quality mods as bijin aio. Ex: honed metal, blood and dirty, achieve that (plays very well with requiem giving you nice bonus for completing tasks), summermyst, customizable camera, directional mov, smoothcam, dual sheath redux (for shields on the back), bandoliers, smart cast, gamepad++ since i hate keyboard and mouse for play, open face helmets, edb random encounters (only for bandits and animal encounters), amourous quest for new quests and immersive items, treasure hunter mods for immersion, Sofia + a patch a did for her, convenient horses oldrim converted 5.0, easy wheel menu, EFF for followers control more precisely and finally, darkend + requiem path I did because I think plays with requiem perfectly! So far so perfect! Serenity is my way to go for good! I will not changing for anything. Wildlander is insane and by far, the most well done project by Dylan but, it goes to far from vanilla requiem for my taste. But I can't wait to see you and others guys I follow play the new Usky (Wildlander) making entire playthroughs! Cheers bro and happy new year! ;)
Thank you for the kind words! I am very excited for Wildlander. Definitely going to have some good streams and I am planning a permadeath series as well.
Been looking forward to this video, thank you for making it! May have to dip my toes into requiem and give it a shot. I had tried it in the past, but I had no clue what I was doing, and this video seems to make it feasible. Could you maybe make a detailed video focused on a build? (Perks to take, best gear, spells, quest order/priority etc..) I know it would be time consuming, but you are very knowledgeable about Requiem, and I feel it would help a lot of players including myself 😁
I'm happy that this video will entice people to try Requiem, it is a beautiful overhaul. I am currently doing a livestream series of Wildlander (Wabbajack modlist featuring Requiem) where I am playing a beginner friendly build and often give some good advice there. I may make some more beginner build guides in the future though, thanks for watching!
I've only recently started modding skyrim and found myself wanting. From 156 ish mods, virtually half of them magic overhauls and a few combat mods and so on I stumbled upon this while searching for a completely unrelated type of mod for marriage systems lol. But after watching your video this mod seems to be a massive upgrade from what I've been emulating with over 100+ mods. I've yet to play it but you did it justice for sure with this video. Thanks.
Thank you for making this video. I think Requiem was long overdue for a quality overview video since the only other one I can remember is that series on Requiem by Brodual, which is probably out of date by now.
Thank you for watching! Requiem guides are just a bit dated at this point for sure.
Thank you so much for this introduction to Requiem. I shall point ppl to this video as I see alot of ppl asking what Requiem does.
That's awesome to hear, thank you!
Pretty good ! Thanks ! I was waiting for this guide I may make a separate requiem modlist on another disk and I was pretty curious as to how requiem works, specially now that it was ported to sse
Thanks for watching, hope this helps you in your journey through Requiem!
I remember Requiem for OG Skyrim and I had been waiting awhile for the official release here in SE. I noticed their linked intro video was from 2013 and I was looking for something a little more up to date lol, so thanks, led me here.
That's awesome to hear, I'm glad you found the video!
Thank you ...Great tipz for a new player diving in for the first time
Nice! It’s difficult to get used to, but if you stick with it, it’ll be hard to play without it.
I absolutely loved how he paused so the that Ralof could say his oconic line
I didnt think about doing that until I was recording the footage, and then I knew I had to throw in the meme.
@@GreedGaming01 lol good call bro great vid
@@kevinp8795 Thank you!
thank you for this tutorial video for requiem. it really help me understand the mod a bit better.
That's awesome, I just want everyone to have a fair chance at falling in love with Requiem, thank you for watching!
This is exactly what I've been wanting in a video game, holy crap man. I can't wait to build a PC
I enjoyed the video a great deal! It's been so long since I've played normal Skyrim, I forgot all the things it modifies.
Thank you! Requiem is an immense overhaul, it really does change almost every aspect of the game. Requiem is the game, Skyrim is the mod.
Thank you for making this video. Requiem is an incredible mod.
This is the kind of challenge I've been looking for in Skyrim
Enjoy, and good luck!
@@GreedGaming01 Thank you. But first, it will have to wait. I have to finish Daggerfall now (almost finished), Battlespire, Morrowind, Oblivion and only then I'll try Requiem in the summer when I'm done with finals so I can fully enjoy it. At least I know how I'll spend 2022 from a gaming perspective.
Very nice detailed video, i am also new to requiem ATM and enjoying it like hell. I always liked to mod skyrim since i finished vanilla 3 times, and i always love challenges in games. So far this is the best mod list ive played. (I play the wabbajack modlist wildlander). I also enjoy your other video's. Keep up the good work
Thank you, good luck in your adventures!
Very good video. Well done all the way around. Subscribed!
Thank you!
Had no idea what Requiem really was, thanks for this intro.
As some of us die hard fans say, Requiem is the game, Skyrim is the mod haha. Thank you, I hope you will give Requiem a try and may this video aid you in your journey!
@@GreedGaming01 Maybe when True Directional Movement finally gets ported to AE, I will. :)
24:13 "Some things you will have to slightly find out on your own" I loved that.
Ayyy, if ya know ya know haha. Thank you!
Brilliant guide, very helpful 👍👍
I will try the mod. Respect for doing it for the sake of the game and the community, nor for money or fame 🙏🏼
Excellent video. Hopefully it will answer most of the problems many casual Skyrim players ( not meant to be an offence) run to ,when they try Requiem. I'd suggest you do some basic build guides too, like basic 2h/2&b heavy-medium, basic mage, basic archer, basic thief.
That is a great idea! I am working in making build showcases to show off early/mid/late game characters but making beginners guide builds is a great idea. Definitely something I will look to do. Thank you for watching.
@@GreedGaming01 I am glad you like the idea, we are talking about race choice, standing stone, perk choice, starting areas, and gear farm without meta gaming, up to mid level. Enjoying your channel.
My God, this stuff is seriously high quality. Need more subs here, youtube!
I appreciate the kind words! I have gained quite a bit since uploading this haha, hopefully we will keep climbing, thanks for the support!
All my requiem playthrough, i had my character who apparently a dragonborn to meet aurlyn in high hrothgar, shes very powerful mage and very much interested to journey with my character ... shed handle all the enemies, and share the level point too ... requiems the best
THanks to this video i just learned about Wabbajack modlists. My god its so much better than downloading them myself Thank you so much, subbed.
Like most, before Wabbajack I spent more time modding than playing. Have fun!
Hey man enjoyed the video, was just curious, i saw that you posted your mod list that you had added to Serenity 2 but i'm still confused what mod added those health bars above the wolves shown at 13:10 if you know it would be awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for this video ❤ I've been thinking of playing Requiem for over a year now. Currently testing myself on vanilla legendary difficulty which is child's play compared to this overhaul.
Requiem is definitely a big change from vanilla handling of difficulty. Hope you enjoy Requiem, thanks for watching!
I wouldnt say that requiem is harder than vanilla on legendary, its just different and once you learn it then its quite easy
@@tomaszpawlik5091 Maybe so. Different definitely. There are many things one should put attention to. Different than on legendary diff.
I'm so stoked requiem can finally be played on special edition, 2022 is off to a good start. I stayed on oldrim for basically a decade because I refused to play without requiem
Oh yeah, I didn't start playing SE until modlists started featuring Requiem as I could not play Skyrim without it.
Nice video. It's been a long time since I last played Skyrim and this looks pretty good =]
Skyrim players never truly quit playing, there will always be another run. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@GreedGaming01 Lol that's true. Heck I'm thinking of getting OG Morrowind on PC cause that game is just SO good XD But ya dude video was high quality and deserves a million views!
@@Hoofler Thank you very much for the kind words! Hopefully one day we get there haha
A couple years ago I downloaded a Wabbajack list not knowing it was Requiem based and having absolutely no idea what Requiem even was. It did not go well lol. I'm about to give it another go with a new modlist, so the tips are very much appreciated.
I've been thinking of coming back to Skyrim lately. I think I may give this a try.
Requiem is the reason I always find my way back to Skyrim.
Just started a play through with Requiem and I am enjoying it so much. I have a Breton alchemist assassin and I am having so much fun. I’ve never ever used alchemy before in vanilla Skyrim and seeing the perks for it in requiem it’s like holy cow so darn good. Basically use alchemy to make elixirs and poisons for combat and for sneaking and assassinate anyone, I know I could have choose a race that would benefit more for the class I chose but heck I am having fun and my character doesn’t die easy anymore and I am on the early stages of the game I cannot wait for later game play. Requiem is a permanent requirement in my load order.
Got any tips on how to level alchemy? it sure does take time:P
Nice use of that TES 6 teaser trailer music in the intro ;)
Modded Skyrim is our TES 6 at this point lmao. The music is too good and I knew it was a great fit. Thank you!
This mod really makes Skyrim a gold experience
Excellent video. Makes me want to play Requiem
Try it out! Be warned, you may never want to go back…
@@GreedGaming01 Do you recommend using mods like Frostfall, iNeed and realistic needs and diseases? Or do you just recommend vanilla requiem? If you use any additional mods maybe you could make a video showcasing them
@@AbolishYTHandles for a first few playthroughs I’d recommend Requiem and all the mods it requires and just your preference for visual mods. If you like Roleplaying aspects more then I’d look into the Wildlander modlist. If you like expanded magic and collecting I’d look into the Serenity 2 modlist. And if you prefer combat and gameplay I’d look into the Lalaland modlist. Most of these modlists can be found on Wabbajack. Lalaland is exclusive to the Requiem Wabbajack discord. I’d recommend joining that discord and the regular Requiem discord.
@@GreedGaming01 Thank you friend, I appreciate your insight. I will look into those and see which one suits me best.
Hey Greed, awesome guide! I think this really will help out newbies who are having trouble getting into Requiem. As a side note, I think wards should be mentioned! Wards are the kind of things newer players (myself included) ignore, completely missing out on a powerful defensive tool that can protect against arrows and shouts. Even starting Lesser Ward is enough to protect you from drain vitality or force shouts, and can be the difference between life and death.
Hell yeah, thanks man! Appreciate the support. You are definitely right about wards. I thought about it when I was proof watching, during the mage section I really showed off how useful wards were but didn't discuss their usefulness. Someone mentioned doing beginner friendly character builds and I will talk about how wards can be useful for all builds.
Finally after 159 mods later, time to install Requiem and it's patches. Well and do some xedits, myself. I am sure I'll by ready by Monday
Thank you! You literally saved my (Character's) life! This is very well put and done, i just have a question and that is: In the video it seems like your skill trees are longer than mine, might that be a extra mod or is that i'm using SSE's requiem?
That would be due to additional mods, like Special Feats, adds extra perks. Good luck in your adventure!
@@GreedGaming01 Thank you very much!
What is the name of the soundtrack that starts after the title card 00:30 onwards?
Awesome, man. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Excellent vid, GG!
thanks a bunch for this
You are most welcome, I hope this information will aid you in your journey!
hello, i got that open inventory to install requiem but i try many solutions dont work
i remember my first ever playthrough of requiem as an orsimer. i was doing heavy armor and twohanded, using some basic alchemy for the healing and utility, as well as smithing for acquiring gears obviously. slowly crept my way into advanced gears, full daedric armor, no enchantments, swapped the helmet for aetherium crown to get warrior and lord stones. invested some in shouts to get that extra utility... the first ever time i got to sovengard to fight alduin, i was so scared, i heard he had some awful summons and debuffs, i had prepped potions to heal through his things. took my trusty smithed daedric battleaxe in hand, shouted dragon rend at him, chugged damage white phial, activated berserker rage, i took down the world eater in a single hit, no more alduin. for anyone reading that as a newcomer to requiem, if your end goal is to be a mindless tank, the only way is to be a restoration master (or at least expert). any build not using high level restoration will have to be smart about his damage taken. i say that because i was a bit surprised that heavy armor and smithing alone were never enough to reach absurd defense.
Something about that intro gave me heavy Zharic Zhakaron lore videos vibes
Goodday Mr Greed. I have been watching A LOT of your content recently mainly wildlander and if i may ask what the main difference are between serenity 2 and wildlander and what you would recommend for a newbie like me
Hello and thank you! Most people in the Requiem community would recommend playing Requiem by itself with some quality of life mods to start off. However, if you wish to play a modlist and not make your own I think both lists are great. Serenity 2 is more of a Requiem+ type modlist that has more build versatility whereas Wildlander is more heavy immersion and cohesive world building.
I'll check when I can but can you play requiem on special/anniversary edition these are the only copies of the game I own. So what a wondrous Christmas gift and a good way to start the new year as I just checked and it just came out I am incredibly excited to play this one specific mod this might be aside from bug fixing and maybe some body and animation mods weapon animations I'm excited so this video is awesome as well
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! I am actually playing on SSE. The footage from this video is a SSE modlist from Wabbajack called Serenity 2. Wabbajack is a great tool for downloading large modlists so you can basically plug and play.
Is it the requiem mod that makes it so pretty? Just noticing the detail that the mountain flowers are actual different types of flowers. Not to mention how pretty the world is and how it's actually dark at night.
Will you have more guides coming soon?
This was very informative! Is there any way to activate the map locations? I dont mind not fast traveling, but i want to at least see where I was or am on the map
Thank you! Don't forget to check out the Serenity 2 discord like we talked about on stream
I forgot to mention that, while your video is excellent, it would have been good to mention that Requiem doesn't affect the look of Skyrim at all. I know you said you're using a Wabberjack's Serenity 2 variant but I don't think you mentioned that THAT download is adding the graphic improvements.
This is amazing looking gameplay that i have not seen in a while as far as skyrim goes, can u tell the mod list that was used in this video?
The modlist used in this video is Serenity 2 from Wabbajack, and thank you very much!
Great video, subbed! Do you know what UI this is? It's being used quite a lot by youtubers.
Thank you! It is Nordic UI.
I've always wanted to try Requiem, or packs like Wildlander that use it as a base. I'm trying Immersive & Pure now, waiting for the 'clean' version of Immersive & Epic. I tend to quit when things get too tough though...haha (what a wimp!) After the thousands of hours of playing Skyrim on all systems and in lots of forms, I'm not even sure if I've ever really beat the main game/DLC's........but it's been an awesome ride. The devs should be groveling and kissing the feet of modders for sure. What a gift that keeps on giving, because of all their hard work. Tip your modders peeps!!!
Bro, please tell me which ENB you are using 👏🏻
Anyone ever had a bug where the Divine blessings can stack on top of each other? I am able to get as many as I want from every shrine and become OP. I am not playing with many mods that I think could affect it. Mostly just graphics and texture mods.
Will this overhaul work with things like combat overhauls(SkySA, TUDMR, TDM etc..) and seasons?
Great vid
what UI did you use in this video?
very cool video, thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video it helped me a lot, what's the mod called that stops the game from pausing when opening the inventory?
Glad it helped. The mod in question is Skyrim Souls
lol I was playing requiem when video ended and the dragon shout scared me
Love this guide! I've been a long time fan and this really helped cause it is still quite a steep learning curve. I thought that the Requiem is meant for RP and the feeling of adventure and yet I see the vast majority of the community is focused entirely on gearing up with the absolute best hand placed gear, or meta gaming. Or that Requiem has built in DPS checks that kinda ruin the idea of your build finally coalescing into something powerful enough How do you combat this? Personally its difficult enough as it is not knowing the interactions of requiem overall so forcing myself to ignore the most common advice for example the silver katana in Bleak falls for the sake of enjoying the idea of accomplishment without any help. Also would you be interested in a mod for Requiem that I've been cooking up on paper but never attempted crafting, the idea being making it closer to Rogue lite status by shuffling just guaranteed spawns around forcing even the most mega meta players to experience the fear of dungeon delving and wonder of opening a chest to find exactly what you hoped for
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Requiem was made by D&D players to be a more Roleplay intensive game. Definitely can't deny there are a lot of meta gamers out there, myself included, that are always looking for ways to push their builds to the limit. For the people that want to truly roleplay the game they will have to accept that limitations placed on your character for RP purposes will cause you to not be strong enough to complete certain content and I believe that is perfectly okay. My preference of playing is DiD which tends to lean more to the meta gamey side of things. To your point about making changes to spice up the world, this is great for people who want to RP but I'd imagine most Dead is Dead players wouldn't care for it becuase we know the world so well that when we play DiD to challenge our capabilities of game knowledge. I think everyone should find their own personal play style they enjoy and just have fun. Just becuase it was made with roleplay in mind doesn't mean the meta gamers shouldn't meta game and search for the best gear and power level.
@@GreedGaming01 yes of course by being into the RP aspect I must also accept limitations to that end, I just hate content gate kept. I will one day prove the strength of my Requiem farmer build lol The DnD aspect of Requiem is what I think cements it as the GOAT mod in any game, it takes concepts from a completely diffrent genre and style of gaming and makes skyrim so close to the perfect dnd game, if they ever get Skytogether with requiem in a clean state itll be a true RPG experience As for the mod, ideas stay ideas haha the only other one I had in mind for Requiem is taking the CC unarmed gauntlets and making them fit in the power scale and giving unarmed playthroughs a teeny buff across the board
@@bossdozz I think inherently RP creates meta gaming. Builds like "being a farmer" in a realistic world would require you to hunt down powerful items so you stand a fighting chance. The best way I can RP is to RP a character who is in search of power lol, then I can justify almost anything. As for the unarmed combat, have you checked out noxcrabs Unarmed mod? It is pretty good.
@@GreedGaming01 oh yeah Nox is basically the patron god of unarmed builds! The game changer was using Experience + static skill leveling in Requiem that was the missing spice to round out the overall game, do what you want and see how far it takes you
@@bossdozz Exp + SSL is definitely the game changer for me. I'm a huge fan of 3tweaks becuase I like a lot of the changes it makes and I really enjoyed the less grindy feel of leveling but I think SSL with Exp is the best combo. It needs some refining for Requiem, like tweaking exp for each enemy type to make sense, but other than that it's solid.
This seems cool. Might try it on another playthrough where I'm not absolutely broken xD. Is there a difficulty setting for this mod? I usually play on legendary cause I like the thrill but I feel like it will be too much with this one xD
The difficulty sliders in the settings won’t change anything. However, in the MCM menu, there is a slider for damage done and damage dealt.
what difficulty setting were you using throughout this video?
Hey, do you have your modding list on hand? I'd love to know what you're using for the HUD, enemy HP bars and shader.
Check the pinned comment, hud is Nordic UI and enemy HP bars is from True Directional Movement and Nordic UI changes the look of then.
can you reqiuem on survival mode? *evil eyes*
Thank you!! Since it just went up on the Nexus from Ogerboss for AE, I have been wanting to get back into Requiem.
Oh yeah, it's nice that we finally have an official release, glad you enjoyed!
Which mod makes it so that there are boss health bars? Is it the floating health bar mod?
Right now Requiem manual and changelog are down, the page is behind a login or something. So thanks for the video. I'm wondering, does this mod make any changes to guild progression ? Can you still become head of the mages guild with a melee character for example ?
No changes to the actual progression but the College of Winterhold quests are quite difficult and will require preparation.
Thank you!
Thank you for watching! Hope this brings great help to the Requiem community.
@@GreedGaming01 shared this in my friend group chat, we’re trying to prepare for Wildlander so this is helpful
@@xvolumesx5146 heck yeah! That's awesome! I'm planning a 10-12 hour Wildlander stream on 1/10.
Great video pal
Thank you, much appreciated!
What modlist are you using?,Great video btw!
Serenity 2, I will be posting tons of Wildlander content when it releases as well. Thanks for watching!
bro where do you get those standing stone meshes???
I must have an old version or other mods override stuff. Light armor is basically just less hit point protection and no pierce and slashing specialty. Other things on mine are different and I'm glad, this pure version is unplayable for me.
Shit I started this mods 3 days ago still don't understand it all. And glad to sub
Welcome to the Requiem community! Hopefully this video will help you get your adventure going with less headaches. Requiem is difficult for sure but when you start to get the feel of it, it's unlike any other modded Skyrim experience.
@@GreedGaming01 that for sure. Using a Breton whilst getting a feel for the game. I use MO2 so won't be doing wabbajack but plan to get a few more mods in like gypsy's caravan. Also using spell research.and a lot of butifacatoon mods for LE. After I COMPLETE a couple builds/play throughs I'll be using nemesis.
Any recommendations for a modpack with reqium for someone with a 1080, i7, 32gb ram?
If just requiem is what you want then Wildlander has different graphic profiles to work on most set ups. If you want to try 3tweaks and it’s suite of mods I’d recommend lalaland which is only available on the Requiem Wabbajack discord or Arkays Commandment which is on wabbajack
What graphics pack is the best for this mod?
This was a great and informative video, really appreciate it. Does anyone know if @GreedGaming has a mod list anywhere, I need to yonk it🙏
Thank you! The modlist featured in this video is Serenity 2 on Wabbajack.
what are ur visual mods like enb?
Liked and Subbed.
tbh, il probably play this on my next playthrough, but we'll see.
