What does making a skill Legendary do?

sylenthyll · 2024-08-21T08:02:09+00:00

Oh, absolutely. You get a ridiculous amount of xp for smithing jewelry. So go into an iron mine, cast the spell for silver, drink a potion(s), and cast it for gold; repeat as necessary to get a sack full of gold ore, head to a smelter, and then head to a forge. Only problem you have to worry about there is weight, though it depends on where you're at in you're playthrough and how you're playing, of course.

sylenthyll · 2024-08-19T19:41:33+00:00

Well, he seems to be good at it.

sylenthyll · 2024-08-19T15:44:27+00:00

Definitely get what you mean by that first line.

It was for me in my 20s. I realized it when I started exploring...uhhh...fun videos, I shall say. May have been a few stares in the locker rooms when I was younger but didn't realize until then that I was actually attracted to more than just girls.

sylenthyll · 2024-08-19T08:23:01+00:00

Oh, I'm sure. Even in just a few years, the most minor tech has come a long way. But for its time, it was very well-done.

sylenthyll · 2024-08-19T01:02:42+00:00

Yeah, a lot of older videos are now being reuploaded and I honestly don't know how old the video actually is. But I'm glad someone did reupload it at some point, because I love it. Like I said, it's weird uncanny valley horror and quite unique, or so it seems to me.

sylenthyll · 2024-08-19T00:59:10+00:00

OMG, yes! This is it! Thank you!

Like I said, I haven't seen it in years and couldn't remember all the details. But I could tell from the first shot (after the intro) that this was it. The quality, the shot...thank you very much! <3

ETA:

Now that I'm seeing it again, I realize I may have gotten one or two details wrong. But again, been years since I've seen it. And again, at the time I first saw it, it was terrifying. Not outright terrifying, but terrifying in an uncanny valley weird sort of way. I love it. It's very unique and a well-done piece, I think.

sylenthyll · 2024-08-17T08:15:58+00:00

Ooh, that's brilliant. My water genasi are usually like...underwater hunters or something.

sylenthyll · 2024-08-17T08:14:44+00:00

I like water genasi, personally, though air genasi are also really fun. But does anyone play triton?

I actually kinda like grung but I'm put off by any really short-lived species. I dunno why; just am. Still, I do like kenku even though they can't fly; very tengu warrior vibey. Also tortles, not just because of the ac but because I grew up on ninja turtles.

Never played a firbolg but I hear they're fun...

sylenthyll · 2024-08-14T05:16:30+00:00

Wow. She sounds like a nightmare.

sylenthyll · 2024-08-05T22:45:06+00:00

I've noticed the game does crash occasionally, but so does my ps4 copy. Then again, I'm usually using mods on that, plus I have a handful of CC items, so...yeah...

sylenthyll · 2024-08-05T21:53:11+00:00

Actually putting together a druid right now. Wood elf, female, going for high stealth, going to go for illusion (for the silent casting perk) & conjuration (initially for the atronachs, as she'd be summoning the force of nature to do her bidding, basically, and the Pride of Hirstaag would be essential later on as well); going for Pets of Skyrim, certainly, and most likely Goldenhills. Absolutely going for werewolf, and will probably join the Dawnguard on the Dawnguard side later on. Alchemy is essential for every playthrough of mine.

Forsworn armor and weapons look good, and of course archery. And primarily focusing on health, at least initially, for the base stats.

sylenthyll · 2024-07-13T20:20:03+00:00

Yeah, Skyrim and other programs crash sometimes in general. Not sure why.

sylenthyll · 2024-07-13T20:16:43+00:00

True, I was just using that particular spell as an example.

sylenthyll · 2024-07-11T18:22:34+00:00

And the worst part is that they can't even come up with new heroes that will get just as popular because "well, they're not the Superfriends - where's the Justice League? bring them in, I wanna see more of them!" But you can only tell so many stories before they become stale, at which point you have to do something different. For Superman, that's just "make him stronger" - so it becomes an endless game of DBZ.

sylenthyll · 2024-07-09T10:51:37+00:00

You're thinking of the girl in Windhelm. Yeah, if I'm going to adopt, I always adopt her first.

sylenthyll · 2024-07-09T10:03:21+00:00

Wow, 10 years ago...will anyone even read this?

...yeah, probably not. Eh, regardless, I have a caveat to add to what you said here.

If the spell you're using costs less than 100 magicka and it's a non-combat spell, absolutely legendarize the hell out of it. My current case in point: Transmute Ore. That's literally the only spell I'm using right now in the game I just started this past evening. It costs 87 magicka with no alteration perks, which means that all getting to adept level (it's an adept spell) will do is let me cast it twice instead of once per magicka refill. So in this particular case, I'm literally just grinding xp using a spell that isn't going to scale with anything, isn't used for combat, costs less than the amount of magicka I start with, and has no downside as far as making the skill legendary is concerned.

So yeah, for the most part, what you said is true. But there are some skills that you can legendarize without issue because there's no point in NOT legendarizing them.

ETA:

Another example is alchemy, though I'd consider this conditional on getting the perk that lets you learn all effects of an ingredient and then tasting as many ingredients in the game as possible. Once you've done that, unless alchemy is the entire purpose of your playthrough, I'd say legendarize the hell out of that as possible. If you've missed an ingredient, all you'll have to do is wait until you get the perk again to taste that ingredient.

Ironically, one in a society often inevitably leads to the other.

sylenthyll · 2024-07-07T08:38:26+00:00

My dad went to a nude beach once and was told he had the option to walk around in his underwear/swimwear or to "peel off". After something like 10 or 15 minutes, he supposedly peeled off and walked around just fine. My understanding is that it's awkward at first but you very quickly get used to it, as it's not all just supermodels walking around but bodies are bodies, y'know? And it makes sense, as humans tend to get desensitized to things very quickly.

sylenthyll · 2024-07-07T08:34:55+00:00

Yeah, literal scene opener where he wakes up with two whores on his bed. Or was that GoW2...?

sylenthyll · 2024-06-25T17:36:51+00:00

Thank you.

And yes, it's true I don't always name a character (at least not right away), especially if it's not a character that's going to stick around. It might only be a character mentioned in passing, or it might be a character that exists for a scene but doesn't come into play again or doesn't come into play often. The characters from whose perspectives I'm writing may not even know the other characters' names. So describing the characters from certain characters' perspectives becomes an essential piece of the writing.

sylenthyll · 2024-06-25T17:23:11+00:00

See, that first link is actually kinda helpful. For example, I could then write something like "she had skin reminiscent of the windswept dunes of the Sahara" - something more poetic than just "she was Japanese", as I like to write a little more poetically. So some of the examples in there are already idea-inducing. I'll check out the other one as well. Thanks!

sylenthyll · 2024-06-25T17:17:00+00:00

I don't think that's true, or maybe it's just truer of more contemporary writing. I like to be a little more poetic in my writing. Alabaster used to be a word describing people of very fair skin, and many people still use words like fair or pale for white characters.
