RBA Starblade posted:What would the best mage equipment be? Is there a lot of stuff that just fortifies magicka? My other playthroughs were with spears so I focused more on that, but it looks like at the least I should go beat up the archmage and take his amulet. Best Mage equip is stuff that regens health and fatigue, something to buff survivability when you get into a fight, and one of the magicka regen mods. Then make the most broken poo poo you can and it won't goddamn matter anymore because you'll be strong enough to kill a god with an enchanted lockpick  radintorov posted:That's the best part about the character: it could be an act so that he is overlooked and underestimated or it's possible that it isn't and skooma is why he was sent to Morrowind in the first place. It's been almost 15 years and I still don't know whether Caius is a hosed up skoomahead who happens to be great at his work, or if he's a genius at spycraft who is 100% only on the skooma as a ruse. I tend to side more with the latter, largely because I assume his recall is "Yo some real poo poo's going down in Cyrodiil, and we need the best, get Cosades back". But it's by no means certain. If he's that good how'd he end up in Balmora of all places? Then again, a good Blade probably still gets into situations where he needs to be posted to Antarctica and the job means he can't actually defend himself. Except that he's a loving badass who doesn't have time for scrubs, that much is certain.

He admits to being an addict, but none of his underlings never mention it, and the peeps at Southwall say he holds his skooma better than anyone (because he doesn't actually use it?). When you talk to him the last time he does mention something about his superiors being concerned about his moonsugar problem though. ("Internal politics. Some concern about my sugar.") As for why he got called back, he says "I thought about refusing the recall, but they have members of my family back in the capital." Holy poo poo what a murky character.

I always figured that Caius's skooma problem started as a cover story that became a little too true over time.

Battlespire is interesting but not that fun to play. Like you can feel them trying to unfuck some of the dodgy aspects of Daggerfall but it is still a mess. Also I dunno wtf is going on with some of the art.

The only things I remember about Daggerfall were the nudity, stealing an ebony dagger at level 1 and wrecking poo poo with it, and a dungeon called Kingsley Grange that scared the poo poo out of me as a child. Also being exiled from a city was the craziest poo poo I'd ever seen a game do.

How do I do obscene powerplay poo poo in Skyrim? (Specifically, I have a vanilla snack Nord warrior for the default dragonborn experience which I plan on sticking some heavy armor enchanting; the other that I specifically and deliberately want to cheese af is a dunmer mage/dagger type) (ps a dark elf dragonborn as nerevarine 2.0 seems hilarious to me because of "try figure this poo poo out nords" lol)

Transmetropolitan posted:How do I do obscene powerplay poo poo in Skyrim? Potions of fortify enchantment before making a set of gear that improves smithing, it doesn't take much to max out armor/weapon damage. As for the mage you want destruction and the stagger perks, you can also make enchantments that reduce your destruction costs to negligible amounts then just improve health.

Doc Hawkins posted:Speaking of Caius, on a recent play-through, I read the book under his bed: War of the First Council. I must have done this before, and if it's the first history book you ever read in the game, you don't have the context to notice anything odd, but my mind was blown when I noticed it doesn't talk about "the" Dwemer but about House Dwemer, being the other "secular Dunmer house," along with Dagoth. Maybe this is just supposed to be an outlander scholar painting with too broad a brush, but it makes a lot of sense to me: the Dwemer were a totally separate culture from the Chimer, and only a separate race in as much as for mer, the former triggers the latter (see the chimer->dunmer transition and whatever's up with Orcs). There are other books which imply cultural interchange between Dwemer and ashlanders, there's the dunmer strongholds with their unique architecture and magic, and some Dwemer books were written in Aldmeris. I think the Dwemer may be best understood as a vanished fragment of Dunmer culture. I think the two main theories on the Appearance of the Dwarves were that the Velothi exodus produced both the Chimer and Dwemer, or that the Dwemer were somehow already there when the Chimer showed up. If we believe something like the first one, then yeah, the author isn't that far off (except that there were no 'dunmer' until after the dwemer had already vanished). That book's probably intentionally placed there, to show you what your n'wah outlander character might already 'know' about morrowind's history. But that is definitely open-source lore. You can see a lot of the main morrowind devs arguing about it in some forums roleplay with the fans, here: https://www.imperial-library.info/content/redguard-forum-madness

Millennial Sexlord posted:Just do my potion trick from last page. Don't do fortify health, strength, or speed. Fortify health is probably fine so long as you pair it with a more powerful restore health, at the cheat levels of potions we're talking about so long as you happen to be max health when that potion wears off you'll survive just fine. The issue is if your health is less than, or equal to, the amount you're fortified by you die instantly. Fortify Strength, though, will make any weapon you wield break in 2 or 3 hits, and fortify speed will probably crash the game because Morrowind will go berserk trying to load everything at once. Also, fortify acrobatics is a bad idea, because you'll jump and come down about a year (real-time) later. For that matter, levitate, jump, and slowfall are all probably broken too. Levitate has the same issues with speed, jump with acrobatics, and with slowfall you'll never be able to go down again.

Going back to battlespire chat, sure the combat is obtuse and the sigils make no sense, and the graphics are horrendous, there's a lot to be said for arguing with scamps and making them follow you around as your bully squad because you were the biggest rear end in a top hat in the room. That said gently caress the jump puzzles.

Wow these fort siege battle in Skyrim sure are something, huh. After many attempts ending in getting thoroughly annihilated in three hits by an enemy coming from one of the 180 degrees I can't see in, I just console commanded my way through that mess. I'm sure I could've been extremely patient and just sniped from safe spots and waited for my war buddies to finish the job, but who would actually want to spend an extended length of time in the TES combat system anyway?

How are you dying that quickly? Are you not wearing armor or using spells? In Morrowind I just made a spell that drains 1 to 100 health for 2 seconds. It stacks. I have zero chance to fail using it and it only costs 25 magicka. I also have one that does 45 fire damage and soul traps, one to restore all attributes, to 5 each, for 2 mana (seriously? why the hell are the others so expensive?), and one that does 1 to 100 fire damage in 5 feet. I win, I guess. Unless they can Reflect. You all were right mages own with a magicka regen mod and a mod that increases basic movement speed (for everyone, which is nice) and prevents loss of stamina when running, this would be so terrible otherwise, resting after every single fight.
