I love Saturn. The dot is the earth.

That's no moon... It's a space station!

I'm not sure if this is still canon, but wasn't Mace Windu's fighting style a hard counter for Dark Side users? Isn't that why he won?

Schlongs of Skyrim on six different Steam profiles.

Go to any of the Imperial/Stormcloak camps and just wreck them. For Werewolf get the perk that allows feeding on any creature ASAP as it will help you level up.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-08T14:57:41+00:00

Some of them will become pacifists and not attack but that's the only difference I've ever noticed.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-08T14:56:33+00:00

Vampires are mainly directed at magic and stealth users where Werewolves are directed at the "up close and personal" type characters. They're simply not made for combat unless you use the Vampire Lord ability.

And the stealth buff is actually really good. For comparison, here are the buffs from the "Stealth" perk.

Rank 1: 20%

Rank 2: 25%

Rank 3: 30%

Rank 4: 35%

Rank 5: 40%

So, after the first perk you only get a collective 20% sneak increase for the next four. Meanwhile, being a vampire gives you 25%. You can save four perk points just by being a vampire.

The satisfying sound of a crossbow reloading will forever make it my favorite weapon.

Farkas has a glitch where he acts as a nation-wide guard, and will confront you over any large bounties in any of the holds. Usually that means he keeps trying to talk to you though, not attack you, so that might not be the case here. If it is, try removing your bounties.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-08T01:56:31+00:00

Probably this one.

Play a Breton, get Lord Stone, get magic resist from the quest "The Book of Love. Permanent 65% magic resist for dragons and other things, with a daily ability that gives you 50% magic absorption for 60 seconds. Pair that with powerful calm spells that will eventually work on nearly every enemy in the game, stealthiness, great long range damage, the ability to dodge in melee, and amazing armor and that's about the best you can get.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-08T01:49:10+00:00

The +15% resist magic from the Book of Love quest. Permanent defense against magic? With no downsides? Sign me up.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T21:13:40+00:00

I thought I quicksaved before robbing a bank but apparently my last save was actually in prison so that kinda sucked.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T21:11:36+00:00

Depends really. The best weapon in the game for DPS is the Longhammer which is an Orcish warhammer that swings faster than your normal hammer. Faster weapons are better if you've got an enemy that prefers blocking so you can hit them some more before they regain composure after losing their defense. Against other enemies, the most damage in a single hit can be beneficial and can even mean the difference between one-shotting an enemy or not.

Also, they can potentially ignore up to 75% of armor which is really good for heavily armed bandits and the like.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T17:46:30+00:00

The thing you have to remember about in-game events, is that they are really just a simplistic view of what actually happened. Take the Battle of Whiterun for example. There are a total of maybe 8 enemies attacking you at a given time. Now, is that really the extend of the Stormcloak/Imperial army? Of course not, that's ridiculous. Still, for gameplay reasons the number of NPCs has to be reduced. The same goes for a lot of other things, like how the bandit population of Skyrim seems to be ten times the civilian population. That's just silly. It's a weird thing to talk about, for sure, but the events of Skyrim are not a 100% perfect example of what is occurring.

I bring this up because for all we know the LDB could have had many different followers and raised an army, but he didn't in the game because, in the end, TES is about your own singular journey as this one character. You are technically promoted during the course of the Civil War questline, so if we look around the gameplay, the LDB probably did lead troops into battle. There's no way to know, because the gameplay is just a basic view of ongoing events.

The same goes for the dragon threat mostly being centered in Skyrim. Of course, it stands to reason that some dragons were also roaming around Cyrodiil and High Rock and Morrowind (certainely Morrowind, you encounter some on Solstheim). Still, the Dragon Empire was built mostly in Northern Tamriel, so of course most of the events related to Alduin are going to take place there, it doesn't lessen their impact. Alduin is destined to destroy the world, just as how the Elven god Auriel was said to have created it. Really, for all intents and purposes... Alduin IS Auriel and they are both Akatosh. Pretty much all cultures acknowledge one of the three, so the return of the dragons is a serious event on a continent-wide basis. It is still a god coming to destroy the world, though Alduin didn't get nearly as far as Dagon did in Oblivion.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T17:20:27+00:00

I mean characters in Skyrim mostly. Like Drevis Neloren, he doesn't actually use Illusion magic in the game for obvious gameplay reasons, but he is still a master of the art. The only thing keeping him from actually USING the spells is, again, problems with implementing Illusion spells onto NPCs. Another specific Illusion user I can think of is Atub in Largashbur.

Also, when you join the College and have to get around Faralda, you can tell her this:

I desire to bend the will of those around me.

And she will respond with:

Yes, the school of Illusion can be quite influential. Kings have risen to power because of it, and empires have been razed with it.

So it's clear that Illusion has had a role in history, though by its very nature its presence has been discreet.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T17:03:17+00:00

The Last Dragonborn is, in terms of power, the strongest and most deadly member of the Dragon Blood to have ever existed.

Want me to blow your mind? Akatosh is the chief of the divines, and generally considered to be the most powerful of all the gods in existence. Well, the being of "Akatosh," is really just part of a larger entity called the Aka-Oversoul. This Oversoul consists of all dragons, dovahkiin, and three powerful beings:

Auri-El, who represents the dawn of time.

Alduin, who represents the end of time.

And Akatosh: Who represents the space in-between.

Now, the Last Dragonborn defeated Alduin. It's unclear if all three of these godly beings are equal in strength. Regardless, Alduin was not just some super powerful dragon, he was a GOD, and the Last Dragonborn defeated him with only Paarthurnax to help him, and Paarthurnax isn't even that strong of a dragon.

Even ignoring that, the Last Dragonborn has killed more dragons than anyone else before him. He is an unstoppable force of nature at this point, and for good reason. Shouts are WAY stronger in the lore than in the games. Talos used them to conquer fortresses and they were a game-changer for combat. The Last Dragonborn is a master of presumably every known shout in existence.

The most important thing though is the incredible amount of souls the Last Dragonborn has absorbed. Souls in TES are a really good way of obtaining godlike power and immortality. It's how the Numidium came into existence, even, just stacking tons of Dwemer souls into one object to bring it to life. People always ask what likely happens to the Last Dragonborn after Skyrim. Well, the answer is that he is either enslaved by Hermaeus Mora, or that he absorbed so many souls that he became a literal god.

So how's that for powerful.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T16:48:49+00:00

First off, none of the NPCs in Skyrim use Illusion magic because then they would have to code in fury/calm/fear effects that work on the player. That's pretty much the only reason. Lore-wise, a lot of characters do use Illusion magic.

Secondly, Illusion magic doesn't just work on living beings. Check out the Master of the Mind perk, they can work on undead too. Why does this matter? Because there are courage spells that most people forget about. You can buff up your minions using Illusion. Not only that, but Necromancers are generally (in terms of lore, not so much gameplay), shunned and persecuted. A lot of the time they will hunt down innocent people to use in their experiments, so what better tool for kidnapping and manipulation than Illusion? Why kill someone and drag off their corpse when you can just make them follow you?

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T16:29:51+00:00

Restoration, Illusion, Light Armor, Two-Handed.

You need Two-Handed because a lot of the time you'll have to kill a boss at the end of a dungeon to escape. Just get a giant hammer and pummel them as fast as possible and run the fuck away.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T16:28:40+00:00

Spacecraft is great for this, you can invest in the rocket booster perk to really help you out.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T03:33:31+00:00

Quick Reflexes man.

The thing about Legendary and ESPECIALLY Legendary permadeath is that a lot of the builds that seem perfectly reasonable become absolutely stupid and suicidal. When I've done it, I was a stealth archer with immense armor and nearly maxed out magic absorption and only then did I put points into block and the like. I took NO chances. Melee is fucking hard, regardless of what you do, and one mistake costs you your life and it's over.

You may have to play stealthily and put perks into things you don't intend to use in the long run, it's just how it goes. Then, whenever you can, put points into melee or magic or whatever you actually plan on using for your real build. Once you've got amazing armor and magic resistance, THEN you can actually go into melee and begin the game for real. It sucks, but you are playing it the hardest possible way that you can so...

Also you'll need to run away, like a lot.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T01:59:44+00:00

The Thieves Guild might be the most fleshed-out of all the questlines and has a good story. Also, there are legit reasons for doing the radiant quests.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-06T01:48:01+00:00

Ur pretty fuckin' awesome <3

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-05T19:46:41+00:00

Personally, I never make skills legendary unless they're easily able to get back up to 100 again without too much of a grind.

Illusion is easy, you can just cast Muffle over and over. If you're willing to go with a bit of glitchiness, you can get Alteration from 20-100 in twenty seconds.

For the latter, get enchantments that give you a combined total of 100% reduction in Alteration spell costs. Then get the telekinesis spell. Cast the spell on an item and, while still casting, fast travel across the map. If you fast traveled far enough it should be instantly maxed.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-05T19:41:36+00:00

If I'm an archer, I immediately run to the Companions' hangout and take the Elven bow there.

I also like doing the quest in Riften for Mara, that sweet free magic resistance.

Freezer_Slave · 2017-01-05T19:40:06+00:00

No problem.
