Speaking of Oblivion is there a way to do something about the stagger? It feels like the chance to stagger is 100-(agility/10)%.

I didn't mind the small size of the civil war, it was almost weirdly large as it was. Small 3 soldier patrols, about 10 soldiers at the camps and suddenly large endless spawning waves during the crappy fort battles. The whole thing felt more like it was mostly fought with skirmishers which would fit the low population shown around the province (excluding the ten million bandits of course). It was more the low effort, low quality and how it didn't really affect or change anything when you won it.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:Skyrim's biggest problem is that you basically have mastered the game at 20 hours and then it starts to set in. A lot of enemies are tiresome to fight after awhile. Level scaling is nonsensical. They made archery and stealth the most powerful things ever, while many of the perks for melee builds are loving garbage and don't feel that good. Hell I'm 2handed and I have all of the "ignore armor" and "boost damage" perks and it still feels like I'm plink plink plinking away at massive HP pools.  Archery does have one nasty side to it however. Whenever a person or creature is hit with an arrow there is a chance the game spawns a copy of that type of arrow in its inventory (so you can loot it later) but npc's with bows will use whatever arrow they have that deals the most damage and they have an infinite supply as long as they have at least one. Unless you're playing on the harder difficulties this probably won't matter but when a strong bandit/draugr with a powerful bow suddenly goes from iron arrows to ebony arrows with all of their modifiers it hurts.

The sword perk crit is based on the material base damage and I believe three points into it averages to about a 2-4% dps increase with the best sword at the highest skill. Similar material base with axes so three perks with the daedric axe is an extra 15 damage over 3 seconds, on anything that can bleed so not undead or constructs.

Dragons have resistance to the element they Having to stand around as they just endlessly circle and roar, circle and roar before suddenly landing beyond a hill on the other side of a river to fight a crab is tiresome. Also shopkeepers suicide charging with iron weapons and then being surprised when they die. Most pathetic I saw was a frost dragon "fighting" a frost troll on Solstheim. There was a dragon landing cliff spot right near it so it kept landing on it out of reach of the troll and breathing frost which did practically no damage and then the troll fully regenerated while the dragon circled uselessly. If the troll had been able to reach it the dragon would have eventually died. I think the whole history of the ancient nords/blades hunting them was all made up later as an explanation for why they died out when it was clearly natural selection with a species too dumb to survive. Vanilla dragons can be a problem for me. A chomp easily takes off 100+ health and then lol sudden instant unavoidable execution move and time to reload. Granted I almost never manage beyond the mid 30s levels before restarting or taking a long break and starting up a new character when I get back.

My guess is it's a draugr boss with an ebony bow and good arrows. They deal a ton of damage. I think I know that one specific enemy and have died to it plenty. Some kind of summon or shout at it yourself as a distraction to close into melee and hope it switches weapons maybe? How much health do you have?

Well you can always go do something else and come back when you are more powerful. I think the boss will remain at it's current level (unless the dungeon resets?). Other than that conjuration magic and a companion of some kind to help distract it. Maybe chug a fortify health potion if it makes a difference. You could always try and sneak with a couple of invisibility potions too since I don't think you need to kill it (don't sneak while wearing any heavy armor). Etheral shout might be able to help you run away. I think it's just poorly balanced. There are some other places like that. Poil fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Feb 17, 2021 |

I'm trying to finally get all the masks in Skyrim and am down to just the last one, from the main questline. Worst one so far by a long way was the one requiring you to finish the mages collage. While their questline overall isn't as bad and dumb as the thieves guild it is more painful to slog through. At least the thieves kept all the horrible Nocturnal and nightingales garbage for the end but here you're constantly dealing with the pretentious order monks and their "cryptic" babbling and gushing over how awesome you are. The whole mess would've been a lot better if they had left them out of it, they don't add anything at all. At least I got a legendary super powerful staff from one of the mightiest mages who ever lived, which I can dump in a chest or sell for less than a regular weapon drop I got in the same dungeon because it's not actually very good.

Jimbot posted:Artifacts were really ruined by the time of Skyrim. Doing the Imperial Cult in Morrowind I got tasked with recovering artifacts and thought to myself "oh, it's going to be a steel something or other with a really garbage buff, like in Skyrim" then they end up being supremely powerful items. The light boots have a shitload of defense and the hammer hits harder than daedra and weighs nothing (when equipped). Best artifact I've seen in Skyrim is probably Ysgramor's Shield (+20 health and +20% magic resistance) but I hardly ever play with a one handed weapon and shield so it doesn't matter. Besides it's kinda ugly to be honest, but not as horrendous as Ysgramor's axe Wuuthengradsomething (which is two handed so I wonder how he used his shield). So much of the equipment is pretty ugly like for example ancient nord Poil fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Aug 17, 2021 |

Wellwinds posted:Find a plate, hold the plate up to door, whirlwind sprint through the door (or the wall next to it sometimes), you can now take the back exit into almost every dungeon  Eh, there is no benefit to finishing the collage instead of just ignoring it directly after joining or Saarthal if you want the shout or amulet. Training, spells and a good place to buy soulgems. Like how the best benefit to joining the thieves guild is access to a fence, which you get rid away so no need to ever go to Goldenglow. I'm sure it's not important. An amusing thing about the thieves is that you can mess up the ring in the marketplace by just wandering off but you still get pointed towards the sewers. You can mess up the protection racket by killing but you still get to join. You can mess up Goldenglow by burning all the beehives but you're for some reason not dismissed as a colossal fuckup but rather you are the still somehow the most competent thief in the guild so they keep sending you on the most important tasks.

Skyrimchat. Does anyone have a fun recommendation for standing stone bonus? I usually go with the lord stone because the magic resistance is so good and while I sometimes pick the atronach instead it's so strong it feels like cheating. The faster skill learning are really boring and I always forget about the once a day stuff. That doesn't really leave much. Maybe the serpent stone if I could remember to use it since it's not often you fight more than one bandit chief a day.

I had forgotten about the extra carry limit from the steed stone, that's very tempting thanks. Gotta loot everything including the nails. Speaking of that, I just discovered that if you're quick you can steal ALL of the silverware in the main hall at Volkihar when you bring Serana there.

The bedroom is practically guaranteed to aggro the chief and the dining hall. The dining hall will always aggro the kitchen if you haven't already. -There is a second bandit chief. -After all that there is still a prison room with several bandits and the usual mess outside. Always a highest level bandit at the prison. -All the traps are facing the rear entrance which is fine when you are near it but not so much when you are closer to the main entrance. -Aela loves sending you there for the compainion questline so the entire place is full of Silver Hand bandits instead, which are just regular bandits except with silver weapons and a chance for cure disease potions and ingredients BUT now all the bandit type names are replaced with Silver Hand so you have literarily no way to know if the guy running towards you swinging a warhammer is a bandit outlaw barely hurting or a bandit marauder who will one shot you.

I felt like Oblivion recently and just started playing a nord mage. As I was doing the Anvil recommendation quest there was suddenly a commotion on the road ahead and instead of the rogue mage ambushing me they were in the middle of the road together with an imperial patrol fighting a small pack of daedra. After helping them out the mage turned to me and loudly yelled about robbing me and then instantly died to the soldier slashing them. My guess is a nearby gate had triggered an encounter right on the same spot as the ambush. Being a mage sure is hard when you don't have the altmer or even breton extra magicka. I've had to resort to fists a few times as I can't afford to buy a staff. I'm NOT dealing with durability.

Oblivion, how do you mage effectively? Are you supposed to just chug magicka potions if you run into a semi-tough enemy or whenever you have to face more than one at the time? Be altmer or embrace the addiction? I did the Anvil ghost ship quest and thank the nine the wraiths were somehow unable to fit through the captain's quarter doorway because it took forever to kill just one. Skryim, is it worth training block? I prefer using two handed weapons so trying to block, at least at low skill, barely does anything and I just end up attacking for damage and a chance of stagger instead because it seems more useful.
