Safe to change
Njordlinger is tested as it ships, but some things are yours to set. This page sorts them into three groups. TODO: every entry below is a first suggestion, filled in from the mod settings pages the list carries; each one needs the author's confirmation before release, and entries can move between groups.
Change any time
These change how the game looks, sounds or is shown, not what is in your save. Change them whenever you like, and change them back.
| What | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Graphics and shader settings | Community Shaders' own menu, in game | TODO: which presets the list sets, and the ones that cost the most frame rate |
| Upscaling and frame generation | OptiScaler's menu | TODO: the list's default |
| Difficulty | The game's own Settings, Gameplay | TODO confirm |
| The look of the wheel | Perfected Wheeler's page in the mod settings menu | TODO confirm |
| The camera | SmoothCam presets | TODO confirm |
| Sound output device switching | Auto Audio Output Switch's page | TODO confirm |
| On-screen widgets | STB Widgets' page | TODO confirm |
| The local map | Local Map Upgrade's page | TODO confirm |
| Your character in the inventory | Show Player In Inventory's page | TODO confirm |
| Typing in text boxes | Typing Mode's page | TODO confirm |
| Interface sounds, colours and layout | TODO: which interface mods have settings worth naming | TODO |
Change with care
These change how the game plays. They are safe to switch, but the list is balanced around its own settings, so a change shifts the challenge.
| What | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Survival Mode on or off | The game's own Settings, Gameplay | TODO confirm it can be turned on and off mid-game in this list |
| Weapons drawn automatically in combat | Auto Draw's page | TODO confirm |
| How far followers chase enemies | Follower Combat Leash's page | TODO confirm |
| Parrying and blocking | Parry for all and Block Commitment Overhaul pages | TODO confirm |
| Equipment wearing out | Equipment Durability System NG's page | TODO confirm |
| Carry weight per level | Carryweight on Level Up's page | TODO confirm |
| Levelling and perks | Character Progression Control and Souls to Perks pages | TODO: probably best left alone after the first few levels; confirm |
Needs a new game
- Adding or removing mods that have plugins (an
.esp,.esmor.eslfile) or scripts. A save remembers them, and removing one from a running game can break the save later rather than at once. - Changing the plugin order. See the plugin list; it is set on purpose.
- TODO: list any settings that only take effect at character creation (the alternate start's choices, progression systems), and any optional mods the list ships disabled that can be turned on for a new game.
Leave alone
- The plugin order, the mod order, and the versions of the mods (see the box on the install page).
- The generated output at the bottom of the left pane (Pandora, PGPatcher and the rest). It was made for this exact list; it is rebuilt by the author when the list changes.
- TODO: anything else the author wants named here.
If you change something and the game misbehaves, put it back before reporting a problem, and say what you changed.
