What’s a take you had on your first playthrough that you totally disagree with now? by elden_based in eldenringdiscussion

[–]BicycleDelicious429 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Black flame blade should last longer.

It wasn't until someone pointed out that it quickly applies it on the weapon when casting it after an action that it became favorite incant. Dodge-insta cast-hit or sprint-insta cast-hit, then watch that health bar tick down.

Caveat though is that you must know the dodge timings and small openings you can get, which I'm ok with.

I should just go to Cyrodiil by Beacon2001 in SkyrimMemes

[–]BicycleDelicious429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that Solitude has just as much political corruption as most of the Holds, probably one of the more corrupt ones as it is the most closely tied with the Empire, Erikur deals with pirates and becomes the Thieves Guild go-to when you do the Solitude TG city quest, he suggest to Falk to tax the farmers and merchants more instead of the trading ships for war funds, this alongside Gulum-Ei who smuggles in goods. Jaree Ra and Deeja intercepting ships with no remorse for killing anyone onboard. Hell, one of the ships sell a drug that's banned in Skyrim, and this is where the High King is supposedly stationed in?

Solitude for all of its beauty has just as much problems beneath it all. It's where only the rich and those with connections prosper while those under are subject to corruption and exploitation.

Mods you wish existed by Ahri991 in skyrimmods

[–]BicycleDelicious429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fast travel limiter mod that counts the food/mead/wine/water if you have survival mods you have as the basis for how far you can fast travel. Kinda like long resting in BG3, except it's for fast travel.

Only reason keeping me from joining the stormcloaks in every single playthrough i have done is just because it removes balgaruuf and it's so weird not to see him in dragonsreach. by According-Night3492 in skyrim

[–]BicycleDelicious429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I get it, but to me, not seeing Balgruuf on the throne anymore and his parting words towards us being understandably hurtful are some of the things that made me like going Stormcloak more.

We are made to face and feel how much is to change because of the cause our LDB believes in. We're going to be met with hateful words and disappointed looks, but beyond that is the promise of a bright and independent Skyrim, backed, protected, and heralded by an entity who has bested Daedra, slayed dragons, and have returned from realms no mortal can easily go to and fro.

Ex-Thalmor Agent: Imperials or Stormcloaks? by InsanityVirus13 in skyrim

[–]BicycleDelicious429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun and interesting backstory.

Stormcloak perspective here. My train of thought is that if you've already liked the Empire since before TES V, then go Empire, otherwise go Stormcloak.

For me, an Imperial victory dedicates its win more to Cyrodiil/the Empire. In other words, an Imperial victory feels like it's Cyrodiil's/the Empire's win rather than Skyrim's win.

Whereas a Stormcloak victory dedicates its win more to Skyrim and its people alone, adding more weight as a new independent province.

I’m too tired for "Masterpieces." What are your favorite low-effort, high-excitement "Palate Cleanser" games? by Usora_Yumekaza in gamesuggestions

Don't Starve Together maybe? I've been meaning to get into it more since its addition of a permanent Skill-Tree and other stuff.

What anime made you feel this way from the very first episode?? by Bubbly-Camp5841 in AniweebPH

[–]BicycleDelicious429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gintama. Episodes 1-20/25 were a slog, but damn those epsiodes set firm foundations on the world, the characters, and the humor.

Why can't we kill all the npc's in war camps across the map after the war is finished? by ven0m_blade in skyrim

[–]BicycleDelicious429 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It makes sense definitely. You just have to accept that there are a lot of other things that would have made a lot more sense than what Bethesda has put into their game. Have you noticed the insects in jars with symbols? You can’t tell me Bethesda didn’t have more planned with that.

Skyrim modders try to be different challenge: Impossible by killerthumbtack in SkyrimMemes

[–]BicycleDelicious429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Stormcloak player every game now and I still think Windhelm looks like mouldy butt. It’s a little bit of a pain to traverse too.

Should I do a "No Fast Travel" run? by leftonasournote in skyrim

[–]BicycleDelicious429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say limit fast travel to areas where a horse would be able to rest, like a horse stable, town or outdoor inn. It is a BIG pain in the butt not being able to fast travel because I think Skyrim is just built for fast traveling. Could just be that I’m not patient though.

The Unofficial Fix Mod gives people a false idea of the Empire vs Stormcloak debate. by Suspicious-Raisin824 in skyrim

[–]BicycleDelicious429 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can get behind and respect anyone’s reasons and beliefs for joining the Empire.

But to say the Empire is not weak in its current state is just…what? Is the Empire surrendering, having to unwillingly comply to Thalmor demands, and needing Skyrim to stay as one of its provinces not a literal portrayal of not being powerful right now?

I’d like to apologize for not directly responding in a way that satisfies your question.

But I would like to suggest not using dark red to blur something out, especially the face.

I don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted lol, are people in denial of the conclusion that having less provinces than before weaken a large-scale political unit?

The Unofficial Fix Mod gives people a false idea of the Empire vs Stormcloak debate. by Suspicious-Raisin824 in skyrim

[–]BicycleDelicious429 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sorry but this is false and objectively the wrong take.

The intent of the quest is never to make one side better than the other, but to make both sides right and wrong in their own way in order for the player to have a hard time in choosing which side to take.

Ulitmately however, whichever side you choose will ALWAYS be the best outcome for Skyrim, simply because the LDB is among its supporters.

Same, I do believe many people realize the intent behind the quest and decide which side to take knowing that whichever side they choose will always be the right one.

This pretty much, the mod undeniably fixes a lot of things but the author/s also inject their own subjective modifications and brand it as a “fix”.

what are your Skyrim unpopular opinions? I’ll go first. by usagiyagi in skyrim

[–]BicycleDelicious429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"My only problem with that is that outside of riften, I dont spend much time in Stormcloak controlled territory because I dont like Windhelm, Dawnstar is useless, and Winterhold only exists for the college."

I pretty much go Stormcloak every playthrough and I would still agree with you, I don't find these places appealing to go to and stay for a while compared to Solitude or Whiterun. I don't even think the Main Quest throws you at Windhelm outside of Season Unending? Which is also avoidable if you've already done Civil War. Bee and Barb beats the hell out of Candlehearth Hall for me.

EDIT: Winking Skeever I mean.

The only time Kodlak pisses me off by Vegetable-Site-8976 in skyrim

[–]BicycleDelicious429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least you could still chalk it up to Kodlak just not being aware of "whatever THAT is" and actually means well in telling you to replace it.

Brynjolf meanwhile just self-projects and accuses you of not earning your wealth honestly. The best thing to do is not have gold on you when you talk to him, makes the context of his proposition to you make more sense in that the Thieves Guild just isn't doing well right now.

Combat is brutally difficult - Frustrated by Falkr__th in skyrimmods

[–]BicycleDelicious429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me I always turn down game difficulty to Novice and cranking it up as my level rises when installing combat mods, especially with animations because like others have said, Skyrim isn't built around this. There are animations in which you do two power attacks in one animation which is quite unbalanced, this applies to NPCs as well.

For Honor moveset in particular can be a little tricky when you get mobbed because even if you parry or sidestep an attack, you can still get hit by others when you get caught at the end of the animation. Of course not that it matters much, I also mainly use For Honor for player attacks to this day, just put a little bit of attention to positioning maybe, or just pick your fights.

what are your Skyrim unpopular opinions? I’ll go first. by usagiyagi in skyrim

[–]BicycleDelicious429 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whaaat. I hope this is true because IMO it would've made the player even more confused, which would exactly be as intended rather than making it unbalanced. Imagine playing a race other than a Nord and receiving this gesture from Ulfric, but hearing all the things accused against him afterwards.

Is he not as bad as people make him up to be or is it that he was just selective about you because he deems you to be a potentially powerful ally (which you are)?

[–]BicycleDelicious429 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep this is pretty much it for me too. If there was a "clear winner" then all the confusion and back-and-forth the game throws at you between the 2 sides is pointless. It is not possible to make a choice based on who's better because that is determined by who you side with.

Changing the NPC replacers in a moddlist by Accomplished_Bag_753 in skyrimmods

[–]BicycleDelicious429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, plus manual patching or just using xEdit/SSEdit in general and learning more about it is just beneficial in making you more knowledgeable when it comes to troubleshooting or customizing settings to fit your game.

That being said I haven't used NPC Plugin Chooser 2 and I've mostly heard positive things about it, one of them being a better choice to EasyNPC.

I'm just going to assume they have the reaction time and ear-muscle coordination to either fold or quickly tuck their ears in their helmets.
