As a huge How You Train Your Dragon fan, Astrid caught my eye immediately. I really like How they made the references to movie Astrid fairly overt but they still made this follower her own person overall. Really well done!
Hello, smashman here! The creator of Heart of Ice. I am glad you liked my mod. Hours were put into creation of this character, so it's nice to hear that she's a well-written one. It's hard to imagine, but English is not my native language (I had no proofreader and editor), and even more, that was my first experience as a writer... Also, as one of your viewer noticed - Astrid is a direct reference to Astrid from HTTYD franchise.
Me too, but it’s waaay more difficult than few years back to keep up. Are you playing with a modlist? Basically my go to would be Jayserpa complete package + Simonrim… I used Jay’s GTS but the problem with collection is that I am afraid to touch and customise them if I want to add/remove something
It's incredible how BCG keeps finding new mods to spotlight week after week. It feels like the modding scene has never been better. I'm not a great fan of modern UI, and SkyUI is hard to beat. But smaller mods that add atmosphere like Graveyards and Snowy AF are totally my jam, and a nice addition to any load order. Thanks again for putting these in here. Also, I hope you're doing great. BCG. Your channel has had a great year imo. Keep it up. 😁
I’m usually not a fan of the jewelry replacers, but those circlets look fantastic. Still looks like it fits the vanilla vibe, but the craftsmanship is much higher.
Dude I just have to say, I loved the way you said "Paarthurnax" - you had that slight rolling R for a bit and it sounded so cool. Astrid isn't the type of character I usually go for in games, but admittedly your showcase of her made me want to try her (and possibly her romance) out! I think it helps that she has such a unique design and from what I've heard, her VA seems very talented. I was so happy when the new circlet mod came out! I really wanted some new replacers and didn't care that much for the design on the JS Armored Circlets SE mod, but their new one looks like a major improvement!
Haha, thank you Beck!! Paarthurnax is definitely not the easiest name to pronounce; I don't remember if I've ever said his name out loud while speaking English so had to think about it for a little bit. Astrid's friend route is also fun, and yeah the VA is incredible- there are a couple dialogue moments that feel a bit off when playing a female character, but... I'm picky, and those are kind of expected with most Skyrim custom followers. (Nothing too off-putting though, haha, and her design, voice & quests make it more than okay to me!)
"Hey you , finally awake. you almost missed Bards College Graduate new upload" love the furniture mods💚 , I wish IKEA made that kind of chair and table😅
I’m gonna say your tweaked Cabbage ENB is so gorgeous!! Looks unreal. I wish it would be possible to get it, looks stunning. That picture of the dragon in the thumbnail is pure art.
What is it, someone with angelic voice talking about lorefriendly immersive skyrim? Sign me in! Just started my dive into abyss of skyrim moding and your videos fit perfectly. Looking forward for new videos while I enjoy old ones
Hello Bard!! Good to see you again. It's been so long I forgot how pretty your Skyrim game looks with your modlist. The Massive jump in graphics quality took me by surprise. Good to see your character kept her adventurer's gear, it's quite reliable. It's been a long while since I've touched Skyrim but perhaps this can get me back in. I was just thinking about getting some new location overhaul mods after fixing the JK's City mods that had some issues with installation That Cracked Tusk Keep Overhaul and the Morthal Graveyards would be a great addition to the creepy swamps and fitting with the superstitions of the city I love the look of the extra snow on buildings and things, will be great for Winterhold and Windhelm A new Kanjs mod will spruce up the basic dungeon delving to be a bit more magical which is nice Will also be picking up that Circlet mod as I use them for Mage build enchanting quite a lot. And I like seeing my characters face so I prefer them to helmets anyway I can't wait to go to Skyrim IKEA. We get to go and see the Shelves as Master Samwise Gamgee once said The Orc Furniture and Redoran furniture seems like a must have. Will be very immersive to have Reclusive Respite will be great to have as well especially for Sky Haven Temple The Darklight Tower will be good to see as well. It's a unique quest line that deserved more attention As for why I've been away for so long: My daughter Eleanor, or Elly for short, was born on September 10th. She came 2 weeks early so it shocked both of us but I've not had much time to deal with anything else much less play some games. In fact she's taking a nap in my left arm right now as I type this with my right hand. Let me tell you that was an eventful and sudden end to my shift on the 9th when I got a call from the hospital saying Hannah went into labour while I was at work but holding your child for the first time is a feeling you never forget. Even now almost 11 weeks later her head still fits perfectly into the palm of my hand so we've been taking constant walks outside to get some sunlight and fresh air. Aside from the cat who's upset he doesn't get picked up and carried around as much anymore, she's been great to have. Our visits to the beach have resulted in her getting more comfortable around water, her hair colour has finally come through to be a light brown, she's outsmarted several fully grown and educated adults already and she's inherited my fireball powers which means she has hot blood like me and doesn't feel the cold as much. It also means she likes being carried around by me more than anyone else since I'm the only other person who runs as hot and even hotter than she does. Oh and she's already had her first round of vaccines, the second lot is next week on tuesday. But she's still so small that she fits in one arm and disappears into her coat and pushchair if we put her in it
Welcome back, Anska! So glad to hear from you, and congratulations to you both! I can imagine there is not much free time, especially for games, after such a life-changing event, but if you ever find yourself back in Skyrim, it'll be there waiting for you :) and you'll introduce Elly to it too, when she's older! :D All my best to you guys.
Fantastic video. The mods are excellent, making skyrim a new game, a game for today. What NPC overall do you use? the npc's look great. Thanks for the professional work. Liked and Subscribed.
@@BardsCollegeGraduate Thanks for the fast answer and to the welcome. Again, your videos are amazing, I was watching the "old" ones and loved them as much as this one. Keep the good work and thanks for sharing so many good information on new mods. Skyrim Forever...🥰
Okay I actually got around to watching the full video. 1:26 I love the new dragon textures :O 8:12 Ah. Immersive Oblivion simulator. 7:50 fun fact: The Red apples into Green apples spell is take directly from Frieren. That's an actual spell she finds. 12:01 I've always wanted more content in the sea of ghosts. Really feels like a under unitalized area. There are so great mods that add more underwater content. But I've wanted mods that add things like small villages and dungeons to the region for years. Esspecialy further away from the cost. Really make exploring the region feel worth it. It's a great step in that direction. Now give me more 😣 (IM NOT ENTITLED!)
@BardsCollegeGraduate I mean, I think only you can answer that question as believe or not. You probably know your taste in shows better than I do. But I'd definitely recommend the show. It's a nice cozy adventure.
Leaving this comment half way through, I always look forward to seeing your videos! I like your take of reviews so keep being you ❤ also. THESE ARE MINE NOW! BWAH AHHHAHAHHA
Hey i love your videos and your voice! I wanted to ask what are the specs on your PC? And are you running skyrim or skyrim se? Im trying to get back into modding
@ it’s not easy to read a script and come off as engaging as you do - and even when we think we do it well, it doesn’t come off in the recording You’re just incredible at it. It’s almost like ASMR.
@@Merknilash Thank you, again! It's so lovely to hear that. If you want to, you can check out my other channel where I read Elder Scrolls book: www.youtube.com/@sleepybard
Can't say I would have expected to "rocks" be my favorite 🤔 but under harsh conditions there usually are lot of pebbles and rocks from corrosion, so it feels right at home in skyrim!
Hi hi love your content. how do you use your camera so well to film all this in skyrim? is it add on or in game camera also how do you record your character doing stuff in a 3rd person view. Thanks keep up the good work!
I have not heard of this creator, but I might stick around for a while. It definitely isn’t because I like the sound of Bard’s College Graduate’s Finnish accent.
Spells of silly? The modding scene has come a long way in 2024. Maybe now we can have Spells of Scary. Spells of Sassy. Spells of Stupid. Spells of... sexy. Wait, those are already everywhere
THANK you as ever for your coverage of mods but especially for Astrid, whom I had completely written off as just another "waifu" mod. Watching your footage, I realize I've made a mistake.
Oh, she's more than that, I think! But I did get the feeling the dialogue was created to be said by a male character, so it felt a bit jarring sometimes (playing and being a girl LOL). But that's fine, as her "best friend" -route was a good one, too! The voice acting is superb, I love her.
Hey, Ysmir tear 2 is aviable and it is an overhaul of the first one, did you showcased the first one on purpose ? or you just don't know about the 2 ? Just wondering if there is a specific reason. Thx for this showcase btw !
Honestly I wish Skyrim on the consoles had as advanced mods as this. The PlayStation ones are just sad and the Xbox ones are good to an extent, but with very limited space. I especially wish that we could get some ENB’s or even some physics mods for the Xbox, I get that it’s kind of complicated due to restrictions, but it could still probably be possible to an extent.
Amazing video. Is there a way I can make my game look like yours? I'm about to fresh install Skyrim after years but don't know where to start with modding.
Thanks! Definitely: most of the heavy lifting is done by Cabbage ENB, Skyland texture pack, JK's Skyrim, and Nature of the Wild Lands. That's a good base to start to build, if you want a similar look. I have a modlist linked in my description (that I should update soon lol) and there is everything else you need. Good luck!
I wonder how they made Durnehviir look like in Dragon SE, because he kinda looks like a decaying corpse in vanilla I also would consider downloading the collision dialogue mod, but considering how some NPC love staying in our way (if you don't have a mod for that) I guess I would end up hating the mod BTW did you use the orc stronghold mod with the orc furniture mod?
GoT dragons look awesome as well, but this one is better, I think! :D I think for consoles the closest you can get it installing a weather mod that tweaks the colors, but I could be completely wrong on this.
@BardsCollegeGraduate yeah, I figured. I'm using three. Rustic Weathers Presets, Cathedral Meditation, and Display Enhancements. I'm using Lux, Lux Via 1.51, and Lux Orbis v6.30. It makes everything seem more realistic. I chose GoT Dragons because of a more cinematic atmosphere. It pairs really well with Dragons Fire Breath FX Edit and Fire Spells FX Edit (red/ yellow)
Each month we see new amazing mods. I hope my great-grandson or great-granddaughter will love my modded skyrim ahhh😩
tbh a fully-modded skyrim in a banger pc as an inheritance doesn't sound that bad 😳
Thanks for including my mod in this!
Which one of them is yours?
@@minkeymoo That would be reimperilized darklight tower.
Awesome work on the mod, thank you for it and I hope I gave it some justice! :)
@@BardsCollegeGraduate You 100% did, thank you!
@@thelootist6721 what are you talking about? Its MY mod 🤯
I was just entering my "I need to randomly watch 10+ videos about Skyrim" mood and here it is!
Ty for the mods
that's the best mood tbh :D
As a huge How You Train Your Dragon fan, Astrid caught my eye immediately. I really like How they made the references to movie Astrid fairly overt but they still made this follower her own person overall. Really well done!
Oooh I haven't seen that one - but now that I think about it - that's right! That's so cool, actually! :D Nice catch!
In my opinion Parthurnax's design is flawless in the base game.
My beautiful dragon boy looks like he has a beard.
True, Parth's great as he is :')
Perfect timing, as I just razed my entire Skyrim folder to the ground to rebuild my modlist from scratch.
Yiss, rebuilding is always fun!
See you in a week soldier
@Jules-69lol That's... very optimistic. Ahah...
@INSAne_DrUNkard very true lmao
8:05 I called the spells useless when I made the mod. But I would cast the shit out of that garlic bread spell if I had it in real life.
Me too, all day, every day! Thanks for the mod :)
Hello, smashman here! The creator of Heart of Ice. I am glad you liked my mod. Hours were put into creation of this character, so it's nice to hear that she's a well-written one.

Also, as one of your viewer noticed - Astrid is a direct reference to Astrid from HTTYD franchise.
Great work on Astrid! She's such a fun companion :) thanks for the mod!
why out of millions or possibly billions of names in this world, you choose the name astrid, an already existing npc's name and a major one at that?
@@ipinhathaway I clearly explained the choice of the name...

I can always count on a new playthrough of skyrim every 2 years with new mods. Every experience is a completely different game.
It's amazing how much they can change the experience to something fresh, every time

That's a good base to start to build, if you want a similar look. I have a modlist linked in my description (that I should update soon lol) and there is everything else you need. Good luck!
@ thank you so soooo much!
What mod is that with the boat? And the horse carriage?
I wonder how they made Durnehviir look like in Dragon SE, because he kinda looks like a decaying corpse in vanilla
I also would consider downloading the collision dialogue mod, but considering how some NPC love staying in our way (if you don't have a mod for that) I guess I would end up hating the mod
BTW did you use the orc stronghold mod with the orc furniture mod?
Damn... everyone got a reply but me, that's cold
Ah dang it I should've included him in the video, completely forgot, but he looks like this: i.imgur.com/NdUDlCI.jpeg
And yes I use them both!
@@BardsCollegeGraduate thank you very much ma'am, you are a lady and a scholar

Astrid's wearing Einherjr Armor! It's awesome.
Amazing as always :)
Thank youuuuuuuuuu, friend!
Ah ready for my möds of the moment 😌🖤
NEW MÖDS ARE HEREEEE 🥵🥵😈😈
@@BardsCollegeGraduate AAAAAA 😈😈
Wow I really like your visuals, is there by any chance you may release a wabbajack modlist?
Thank you! Not really in my plans right now, sorry :[
@BardsCollegeGraduate oh that's unfortunate. May I ask what enb you are using?
Of course! It's Cabbage. I also have a modlist, if you want to check it out: www.patreon.com/posts/mod-list-over-83418928
GoT/House of The Dragon Replacer is always be the best. Also is there an ENB like shader for consoles. I really like cabbage enb tbh
GoT dragons look awesome as well, but this one is better, I think! :D I think for consoles the closest you can get it installing a weather mod that tweaks the colors, but I could be completely wrong on this.
@BardsCollegeGraduate yeah, I figured. I'm using three. Rustic Weathers Presets, Cathedral Meditation, and Display Enhancements. I'm using Lux, Lux Via 1.51, and Lux Orbis v6.30. It makes everything seem more realistic. I chose GoT Dragons because of a more cinematic atmosphere. It pairs really well with Dragons Fire Breath FX Edit and Fire Spells FX Edit (red/ yellow)
I love these videos :)
Is there a list of mods available to make my character look like yours?
Thank you! You can take a look at my modlist: www.patreon.com/posts/mod-list-over-83418928 it's unorganized at the time but has everything :D
@@BardsCollegeGraduate Groovy thank you!
What NPC replacer is she using here? Camilla and Taarie have a look I haven't seen before.
It's Dibella's Blessing!

NAT! With Cabbage ENB!
I need a mod list/mod pack for xbox one. Your game always looks so good!
Thanks! :D

Man...I miss skyrim
You can come back to it!
skyrim:❌
Wife creator:✅
Skyrim, the simulator of many purposes
I'm curious if Mod Astrid has any interactions with the Astrid of the main game.
Oh, that would be good!
I'm swaggin' so hard right now.
bringing swag back one mod at a time
Keep up the great work!
Thank you, I'll do my best! :D
Astrid claims to be the greatest swordsman but uses a battle axe
...Maybe the definition of a "sword" is a bit more flexible in Roscrea Island 😂
