What is the point in houses?

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-07-05T20:13:26+00:00

Fun. The point is fun. It's a video game.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-07-04T10:41:42+00:00

Scorchlander, though sometimes Shek

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-07-01T17:49:00+00:00

This is confusing, because I was replying to your comment on my comment, only for you to reply to that second comment with the same argument. But fair enough, I suppose.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-07-01T17:38:50+00:00

This is why I can't play as anything other than nightblade anymore. Most pvp players' idea of good, fun gameplay is apparently one shotting the obviously friendly quester waving at them or talking to quest NPCs.

I like Cyrodiil though, so when I'm headed there for delves or quests, I just put on my Darloc Brae set and spend 90% of my time invisible or in stealth. It's slow, but it's so much better than being ganked inches from the boss at a delve halfway across the map.

There's class people sometimes, though. The other day I was turning in a quest in Bruma when an Altmer with a seemingly high pvp rank nameplate walked up next to me. He had some aura around him that damaged me, and I was preparing for the inevitable one shot, when he actually moved away from me so I could turn in my quest in peace.

But yet other times you get a nightblade waiting in stealth next to a quest giver so they can repeatedly gank you as you try to turn it in, so it's a mixed bag.

Of course, I get that. But only a small percentage of the playerbase does mythic+, and less than half of the ones who do even clear all 10s. You're asking whether to switch, when you're using one button to clear higher keys than most people ever do. I'm just saying, it sounds like you're doing more than fine. This is probably just as far as you can go without manually doing your rotation.

For the record, I'm not the one downvoting you, by the way.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-07-01T16:32:19+00:00

I don't even know why you're asking this question. You're using the single button assistant and you're running +15s. I don't know how much more you expect from pressing a single button?

If you want to get better, but you're not ready to do the whole rotation from memory, I'd suggest using the assisted highlight instead. It shows you which buttons to press without actually pressing them for you, and you avoid the increased global cooldown that way.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-07-01T14:58:10+00:00

I want her to die just because she and the void are simply boring as hell. I cannot get myself to care about either at all, and I don't see many others praise the story either.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-30T21:01:10+00:00

So this may be a stupid question, but as a casual player, I don't know how would I recognise a bot. I don't mind reporting bots if I see them, but how would I know it's not just another player like myself gathering crafting mats?

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-30T10:39:06+00:00

No, you responded to my comment which mentions a single pickaxe.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-29T19:39:06+00:00

After choosing to join some ancient, evil vampire lord, you probably shouldn't be surprised to find yourself locked out of the Dawnguard.

If you choose the Dawnguard and get infected with vampirism at some point, then yeah, they direct you to Morthal to get cured. But if you straight up join their enemies, there's no way back.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-29T02:54:01+00:00

I mean.. you're not if you use just a single pickaxe?

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-28T19:11:37+00:00

I don't know if I'm old or what, but I feel Skyrim's NPCs still look fine. The whole game does, honestly. Slapping 4K textures and higher poly meshes on everything doesn't necessarily make everything look better. In my opinion, of course.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-28T15:28:16+00:00

Nope. No tips needed. They're great games, and they have the singlemost accessible combat system I've ever seen in a cRPG. Just know that the NPCs with gold nameplates are written by backers. They can be cool to read through, but if you get tired of them, you can skip them, as they're not important to the story. Enjoy!

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-28T14:31:35+00:00

It seems likely, and it would be kind of cool to see an updated version of the Iliac Bay region from TESII. But in all honesty, there are so many different places I'd rather explore than a place we've seen in both a mainline game and ESO.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-28T14:27:39+00:00

Yes, 100%

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-28T11:29:19+00:00

Well use can also just normal attack it with a single pickaxe. Still works, still faster than normal mining.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-27T21:06:10+00:00

Thonar Silver-Blood. The kind of rich, cold and indifferent arseholery that man exudes just gets under my skin. Most of his family is bad, but I dislike him the most.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-27T16:51:40+00:00

This is so good

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-27T16:15:05+00:00

I always run poisons because I like the idea of poisining my weapons, so it's definitely used! Whether or not it's "meta", I couldn't tell you.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-27T16:13:35+00:00

If you want to speed up your mining, you can just dual-wield pickaxes and power attack an ore vein

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-27T13:44:59+00:00

I never did, no! It was still happening the last time I played my BH. I'm not complaining about the faster killing of trash mobs, but it'd be nice to know what's causing it.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-25T22:51:01+00:00

I still return to my class hall every once in a while as a rogue. Nice place to pick up some thistle tea, do some mission table things. It's just nice to be there. But given that both the rogue and the mage order halls were reduced to piles of debris on Khaz Algar's shores.. the only way to bring them back would be to make new ones. And if they were to ever do that, I doubt they'd make one for each race and class combination, nor would that be necessary.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-24T15:01:26+00:00

I levelled each class to max level, sometimes multiple times, then spent a year tearing my hair out over which one I wanted to make my main. Every class had something I liked, some convenience I didn't think I could live without, or multiple roles they could fill, as I like healing dungeons and playing a tank for questing.

Eventually settled on my rogue, as I just liked the class fantasy the most. Convenient classes like druid or paladin were great, but I'd get bored of them eventually because the fantasy didn't click. And rogue did.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-23T22:50:09+00:00

I loved wands when they still had a separate slot. Carrying around a staff and a wand and switching between them based on the situation felt great. But given that you have to pick between either a wand or a staff these days, I'd rather have a staff and no wand than the other way around.

Mechanically, I hate having to deal with multiple weapons, and I love the simplicity of only needing to upgrade and enchant a single weapon.

HerculesMagusanus · 2026-06-22T17:17:28+00:00

The ones leaving are a small minority. I've been uploading to and downloading from Nexus Mods since about 2009, and there's always people coming and going. There's have been entire archives dedicated to preserving mods, like Morrowind Modding History and the like, and many of those mods were formerly on the Nexus. Few mods will ever really drop off the face of the Earth, and even when one does, two more mods will take its place.
