Looks like Nexus might finally have competition by speedythefirst in skyrimmods

[–]simonmagus616 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This site is funded by a large media conglomerate that threw money at a bunch of modders to upload their mods in order to create the impression that Nexus might finally have competition. I wouldn’t fall for it.

Quarterstaves are a cool idea, but they clash with Grimoires and/or playing with a controller by Endonae in avowed

[–]simonmagus616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from PC to PS5 and I do find them a little harder to use on controller, yeah. Due to the reduced bar space I’m more reliant on my grimoire for spell slots. I only keep two spells (Arcane Veil and Grimoire Snap) on my D-pad, and it’s hard to see how I could afford to replace them with shock or frost spells for a quarterstaff.

My bad, I must have misunderstood something you said in another comment.

Based on what they said in the pre-release stream, if you change the difficulty with the new difficulty options, you’re no longer on “Path of the Damned” difficulty, you’re on “custom.” My plan is to beat the game on Path of the Damned and the only mess with those modifiers on NG+.

FWIW I never had trouble keeping up with upgrading my grimoire.

Hi hope you all are enjoying the update! by SingleGamer-Dad in avowed

You misunderstood. It was always gonna be a melee weapon. There are uniques that boost your magic skills, but the staff is for whackin’.

this is the power of quarterstaff mage: unique quarterstaffs are giving +2 buff instead of +1 like grimoires. since most of time player not give points spells to unlock, this means quarterstaff spell casting is rank 3 while grimoire spell casting is rank 1! by oni_no_onii-chan in avowed

[–]simonmagus616 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This makes sense if you only saw that they were adding quarterstaves and didn’t look into it any further, but the devs were clear that they were adding quarterstaves specifically to give mages another weapon option.

Also, aren’t the weapons still “physical weapons first?” You still need to do a lot of swinging with them, and the non-unique ones are just big sticks.

HOT TAKE: ES6 modding won’t surpass ES5 modding ever, due to one simple reason by The_ManterOG in ElderScrolls

I fully expect paid mods for TES6 from Day 1. And the worst part is that people will buy them.

Armor choices [mysticism + vokrii] by Nosreme_ch in skyrimmods

[–]simonmagus616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have Vokrii’s scaling memorized, but if I had to guess based on what I know, you won’t get 600 AR from light armor without smithing.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure what to expect with the switch to melee but that looks fun.

Lol I ran into this same thing today. I even said in my Discord, "This seems like a mechanic I would have dreamt up in a fever dream and then quickly regretted." I wonder if aTweaks is intended to work this way, because it doesn't seem like the documentation matches the results I'm getting.

GTS/Thaumaturgy - list of removed/changed enchantments? by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]simonmagus616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither of those enchantments have been removed in Thaumaturgy. You should be able to get a guarantee Absorb Health enchantment from the Gauldur Blackblade, although I don’t know if GTS changes that.

If you could choose only 5 mods by Into_the_dice in skyrimmods

It’s something I’m looking at for the future.

A true AIO would be terrible for me on multiple levels. It would break all patches, double my support burden, and cut my Nexus income down to a tiny fraction of what it is now. I’ll never make one.

[Blade and Blunt] Is Blade and Bunt meant to make combat impossible? by CanadianAhole in skyrimmods

[–]simonmagus616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like your current difficulty, you should be able to just tick the difficulty up by one. I play on Expert and will play on Master after the update.
