Welcome back, adventurers, to the third installment of my Nolvus Ascension review series! In this episode, we delve deep into the heart of Skyrim modding with an extensive modlist curated for PC players. From jaw-dropping graphics enhancements to immersive gameplay additions, I'll showing you things i added to the modlist.

I know how crucial performance is, especially for those with beefy mod lists. That's why I included a small guide to optimizing your FPS via DLSS / FSR
This is assuming you're using DLAA in the Nolvus installation.

Looking to spice up your playthrough with unique builds and playstyles? Look no further! I've got a plethora of suggestions to suit every type of Dragonborn, whether you prefer stealthy assassinations, powerful magecraft, or brute force combat.

Join me on this epic journey through the lands of Skyrim as we explore the wonders of Nolvus Ascension and beyond. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit that bell icon to stay updated with the latest mods and guides for your favorite games!

ENB used: Cabbage
Reshade: Custom preset I've been tweaking using Patreon exclusive shaders.
it's really not worth it, I would recommend sticking to Nolvus reshade and making some minor adjustments should you want to change it.

    I could watch a whole series of you just making builds lol great stuff
  • Today I just binge watched all your Nolvus videos, I would like to say it's been quite a while since I felt so excited and motivated to watch a YouTube video, usually I just skip or don't have patience to see a full video, but yours are very well made, I can't imagine how much work and dedication you put on this, congratulations, I will be waiting to see your next work.
  • I downloaded nolvus because of these videos. It's so much fun! Loving these videos!
  • @anniedee5796
    Just wanted to pop into the comments to tell you I love these videos so much! I'm playing a necromancer build inspired by your second nolvus vid and it's a lot of fun. I can tell all the editing, production work, and care you put into these videos. Thanks for all the work to share this with your community!
  • I literally downloaded Nolvus after watching part 1/2 of this series last weekend and now part 3 drops!, just amazing work Zen
  • Thank you so much for this, I'm loving your videos! It's what got me into Nolvus in the first place =)
  • @fastfaps
    You have a really great channel, and i love your in-depth analysis of many of the features of this great modlist. Please, keep it up!
  • @TheVektor2012
    This video is a candy to watch, thanks for your hard work as always!!!
  • @yokami_9408
    The two first videos were so good, i'm in for a third !
  • I truly always feel as though I'm being transported into a beautifully crafted world watching any of your videos! I honestly never want to leave and your amazing cinematography and storytelling skills always inspire me to get better at telling my own. I'm also trying to figure out which playstyle truly suits me best so that I can finally finish those damn playthroughs of all these games! I just wish I didn't get so fuckin easily distracted by another playstyle or some other idea I have and could stick to something for long enough to see it through to the end...
  • @gamersoul2355
    Quality content right here, waiting was worth it. Keep up the good work🎉
  • @NoahWolfe
    so well done. thank you for these, an absolute joy to watch
  • @h0pebringer
    Just pausing the video on the custom sword mod before I continue, because DAMN that custom varient of it is absolutely gorgeous. It would fit amazingly with a paladin of Stendarr or spellsword character, or maybe an Azura or Meridia worshipper even. I've watched the other two videos and had downloaded the Nolvus modpack a few days ago already, so this new upload is just further cementing the fact that this modpack really is something else entirely for me haha Either way, wonderful content, and the easily digestable informative format for these types of videos is very easy to get through, and very enjoyable at the same time.

    I just downloaded this yesterday, these videos were the final straw to have me decide! Also, for anyone trying to shore up their FPS with DLSS, I've found that, for 1440p, 1600 x 900 seems to be as far as you can push it without text getting blurry. The fringes of your screen can get blurry, but I've found that the places you actually look at look good.
  • @GildyBoye
    Thanks for showing one of my mods in your vid, love you like always 👨‍❤‍💋‍👨
  • @zyaam33
    I downloaded nolvus about a week ago and the amount of new mods and features are overwhelming and a bit confusing but your videos help a lot!
  • you should keep making these videos no one else does it like you do very entertaining ngl
  • @Rhaevyn-Hart
    Yes I guessed right! JS is my favorite weapon creator period. I was looking at that sword and I just knew hit had to be from him. Awesome!
