The three act play structure of the zone quests gets predictable after a while but they are generally well done, especially the recurring characters, especially the non mandatory ones like The Daggers

I'm starting to think that THE GREAT MAGE VANUS GALERION is a deliberate parody of Treahearne, whereas Treahearne is a mary sue who steals the spotlight from the hero Vanus is a self-proclaimed mary sue who expects that everyone think he has always been the hero.

What is the tactical difference between reduce cost and increase maximum enchantments?

Scyantific posted:



If you're a DPS, reduce cost enchants seem to be better, and tanks seem to benefit way more from increase stat regen enchants.



So Why?

Also, how much health should I have as a dps?

Well for one, increase stat enchants go on armor only, and reduce cost enchants go on jewelry. Maybe you meant increase stat regen enchants, which also go on jewelry.

If you're a DPS, reduce cost enchants seem to be better, and tanks seem to benefit way more from increase stat regen enchants.

I just use stat regen enchants though. Easier that way.

There's also food vs drink to consider.

Does anyone know if I will be able to transfer my character to the Xbone when the game comes out for consoles?

I only bought it for PC a few weeks ago.

No, they limited the transfer window for some stupid reason.

The transfer window has been pushed up to June 1st now, so if anyone is playing on PC and want to copy their account to console make sure to do that sometime in the next week. Console release is out on the 6th if I remember right.

June 1st is the charcopy day.

On the PC side anyone know of an add on that gives tool tips in Provisioning ingredients. I can find lots that tell you things when at a fire or about recipes, but nothing that lets me look at a looted ingredient and tell whether I know the recipe for it. I imagine I will eventually have a set of favorites, but right now it means filling up inventory with a lot of unusable stuff very quickly.

Whats the big deal about that dungeon helm and pauldron?

Baron Porkface
Jan 22, 2007


Scyantific posted:

It's a unique helm drop with the best effect in the game all-around. It has a chance on every single skill cast to summon a Dwemer Sphere that restores either Health, Stamina, and Magicka over 6 seconds.

What does grinding it mean? Does it drop randomly like some circa 2002 raid gear?

If a skill costs magicka, its damage scales as (spell damage * 10.46 + max magicka). If a skill costs stamina, its damage scales as (weapon damage * 10.46 + max stamina).

Now before you have sets that boost weapon or spell damage, armor enchants, or a large number of attribute points, you can safely pick whatever skills you want from magicka or stamina. But eventually, if you're dps, you'll need to gravitate towards one or the other, otherwise you'll be at about half your potential.

If you like fireballs and feel pressured not to use them, ignore the pressure and keep going. Reflective light is a solid choice for the single-target weave on a magicka dps templar, and it synergizes with your dunmer fire passive. Jesus beam is magic damage, so you'll lose a little there, but you'll still have no trouble getting to 14k dps.

If you want something more stamina-based, I posted my 2h build a few pages back. That's what I'd do, but that doesn't mean anything.

The key is to find what's fun first, then you can optimize it like crazy when you get to vr14.

Eeeeehhhh... Race sure, but class and level is a valid thing to scrutinize. If you're not up to par with the rest of the group, then that's a valid concern for the group.

I'm not really sure how much of a big deal class is aside from a handful of passives if you have a stamina build.

It's nearly unplayable without mods so it is worthy to bear The Elder Scrolls name.

Because a game mechanic that hasn't changed in a year shouldn't require an effort post. Most people would just go "oh, good to know" and move on.

It's another one of those times where they just apply an awkwardly placed bandaid instead of fixing the actual problem, namely that the actual grouping tool is garbage which is why no one wanted to use it in the first place.
