Skyrim Together is finally playable and even less janky than I expected.
, my party and I tried to use about 15 total mods, which was a mistake. All four ill-fated party members crashed to desktop multiple times and, although we had a good laugh about it, it was chaos. There were invisible horses and floating NPCs. Our mod eyes had been bigger than our mod stomachs. Classic Skyrim hubris.
For that second attempt, my partner and I removed as many complicating variables as possible. We played over LAN with the server executable running on my machine, with only Skyrim Together Reborn, its dependencies, the unofficial Skyrim SE patch, and theGetting together on our LAN server was a breeze. Starting a party took only a couple clicks. Teleporting to each other, while maybe an inelegant workaround to seeing one another on the map or compass, was easy and efficient too.
That worked in my favor. Skyrim's melee combat turned out to be a bit more deadly without the ability to enter a menu and scarf a healing potion, skeever leg, and stew while a draugr's axe is paused in the air an inch from my face. A bit of AI merry-go-round the dungeon pillars with a giant spider was much needed without pause-scumming.
What Skyrim Together does require is a lot of communication. There's server text chat if you need it, but I'd recommend jumping in a Discord call. We found ourselves saying"wait, where are you?" pretty regularly as I instinctively pulled open my map each time before remembering that no, my friends weren't visible there. Sticking together, or making liberal use of that teleport function in the party menu, is key.
