Thoughts?

In my opinion, this game is going to be epic.

Yeah, the quality of the video is kind of bad, but nonetheless, it is going to be amazing. I remember only playing oblivion all through high school, and now I get to somewhat reminisce back to this game. :)

To be honest, I am not that interested in it.

They have reduced alot of RPG elements. Equipment have been simplified into more or less sets, you get one item which is like leggings, chest, etc all together, and many weapons are still yet not available(Like spears, throwing weapons, etcetera), still no mounted combat(It seems), more simplified world than Oblivion, being multiplatform meaning we won't have any glorious battles with more than 5 units, and the graphics themselves are just overall good/decent for todays standard.  Etcetera.

Only thing that makes the games more or less fun is the whole open world which have been more or less reduced in Skyrim. The combat is a bit meh, It's like playing Warband with a 100% autoblock and only one attack direction.

been following this game keenly and it occured to me that its unlikely to release 11/11/11. why? november is not far away and we have seen only 1 or 2 videos of gameplay which were hand selected clips from bethesda. the demos are press only, me thinks its not in good shape.

I played Morrowind for part of high school, got Oblivion, hated it and went back to Morrowind.

Hopefully Skyrim reminds me more of Morrowind than Oblivion.

That's only if it's a good game, sadly I have very low hopes for this one.  :|

No, that would be Obsidian Entertainment, here's a list of their track record:

KOTOR 2 - Unfinished and buggy.
NWN2 - Extremely buggy. Pretty much killed the game on release.
Alpha Protocol - Bugs galore! Was also pretty much killed the game on release.
Fallout New Vegas - have I mentioned buggy?

Granted patches have fixed most of the games, and a modding community KOTOR2, but still I think they have had a far worse track record for buggy games!  :P

Sorry, nobody releases as prealpha games as 1C company.

And there is no publisher stressing devs more + giving the customer the lowest value then (eatshitanddie) UBISOFT.

Believe it or not, they teamed up on the latest IL2 Cliffs of Dover...

So, i have hopes for this :-)
Doubt it will top Morrowind (I never stood around for so long, watchin water btw....xD)

From the gameplay trailers I've seen Skyrim looks a lot like oblivion with dragons. I'm not really sold on you playing DOVAKING and having this epic amazing destiny either, I much preferred playing some random guy trying to survive in a world gone mad. I really want to like Skyrim and will probably buy/play it, but I wont hold my breath for it being anything new or amazing.
As long as I don't get a repeat of Fallout:New Vegas then everything will be dandy I guess.

But it was made on the Gamebryo engine, just like oblivion. You will never really see more than 20 npc's in a single area in either game.

Yup. I'm more interested in what the modding community has to offer, but then again it'll take years after release for anything decent (if at all).

bc2 is one of few games I have bought at release and I didn't see any real bugs

and yeah bethesda games can be a bit buggy cause they are so huge, and obsidian are even worse.

but i'm shocked this is coming from you guys, saying these guys are the worst? you'd think you'd never played a true indy game *cough M&B*

The new engine is pretty much just a more or less upgraded Gamebryo. Would be much better if they made a completely new one.

I bet you never tried the oblivion mods that changed the AI to allow that.
It's quite funny that we have to mod a game inorder to make it decent.

No, that would be Obsidian Entertainment, here's a list of their track record:

Yeah Obsidian are quite funny. They always make games on other people engines, which ends up being bugged.
But usually their games are overall quite good when they are patched. i.e Neverwinter nights 2 and especially Mask of the betrayer were quite glorious.

Indeed they are, but their are still the annoying game breaking bugs that occasionally pop up still.

For once I wish they could release a game without any bugs, so then everyone can realize how awesome their games actually are...  :|

Yeah, they  should add that stuff. Have you played Call of Pripyat ever? Some of the mods for that game do exactly what you just said (The game has the mechanics but they are easy to deal with). Also, especially for someplace northern-themed, warmth should be a factor. Kind of ridiculous for someone with a thong on to be running through Canada.

Yeah, I already played CoP, and I liked it somewhat, but I prefer Fantasy/Medieval Settings :D

I hope there will be Mods for Skyrim with such things aswell.I really really do.

There is no Ultimate Freedom like it´s always avertised as long as there is one fix story Strain to follow.

Or Maybe Bethesda will implement a mode like in Fallout where the weight system is more realistic and you need to eat and sleep.That would be nice already, but Warm clothes or you die of cold is a good Idea too.

I think that's a personal preference of your own, whilst Oblivion wasn't as good as Morrowind, it had a fuck ton of playtime, you just chose not to use it because you got bored of whatever you were doing. The Elder Scrolls games are insanely moddable, I wasn't a huge fan of Oblivion but once decent mods came out, I got some and my game experience improved ten fold.

 I also think it's safe to assume that Skyrim is going to be better than Oblivion, but it's going to be the same type of game with similiar features, so maybe you will not like it.

Erm what, you were never forced to follow the storyline in Elder Scrolls games, there were a ton of other things to do, you never had to play the main quest if you didn't want to, but you can't expect them not to include a main story because people do like to do them. Plus as I mentioned before, the Elder Scrolls games have always been hugely moddable, there are a ton of mods for Morrowind and Oblivion that tottally change the game, including mods that make it so you must eat, drink, sleep etc and they are usually made very soon after game release.
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: Mala on September 23, 2011, 11:52:50 pm
Well, Oblivion had a lot of awfull things, which have ruined fun like quest radar, quicktravel to unknown places, levelscaling (yeah it is quite funny to fight a horde of trolls with a thief, not to metion the common bandits with their epic equipment) and a weak main story ( aaw, it´s the end of the world, but wait. there is enough time to become the master of the thiefs guild ... and the assassins ... and maybe mage guild as well.

And if a game needs a lot of mods to be good, then it is crap.

Really?If the Main story isnt so important Why do I happen to stumble upon some fucking Oblivion gates every 2 inches?And the Way the Story is built up it just leaves you no sense making choice like Mala said.And I would like to have such features without a mod for once.Fallout 3 vegas Devs did it, cant be so hard.

Morrowind indeed was fun.It was somewhat more like the game I described, without such a shitty story forced up on my ass.

From what I have seen in the gameplays its just Oblivion with a enhanced graphics, especially shaders are finally fucking fixed. I couldnt get them to work properly in Oblivion no matter how many mods I struggled to install and configure, it just wouldnt work good enough.

Other than that I didnt see any improvement at all in that piece of crap combat system, its just as horrible as it was. FPS melee fights are generally idiotic but Elder Scrolls games exceed the scale.

Really?If the Main story isnt so important Why do I happen to stumble upon some fucking Oblivion gates every 2 inches?And the Way the Story is built up it just leaves you no sense making choice like Mala said.And I would like to have such features without a mod for once.Fallout 3 vegas Devs did it, cant be so hard.

Morrowind indeed was fun.It was somewhat more like the game I described, without such a shitty story forced up on my ass.

You don't have to do the Oblivion gates, is my point. Please don't bring Fallout NV into this, it's not an Elder Scrolls game and it's a pretty dull game altogether, it's Fallout 3 with a different story and Fallout 3 got boring alot faster than any Elder Scrolls games I've played. I couldn't even force myself to finish the New Vegas storyline, or even care to explore the plain, boring world.

Neither is it hard to download and install a tiny mod for the game, so if the devs don't include it, you can include it yourself, which is the beauty of these games, even Fallout 3 and New Vegas have a ton of mods made for them, that 'game mode' you are describing was made in mods for Morrowind, Oblivion and even Fallout 3 and they are all tiny mods that are quick to install.

Post by: Christo on September 24, 2011, 02:14:55 pm
Well, think about it, there are very popular games that do this. Oblivion for an example, or think about the Total War series.

They make the basics of it, and then they throw a bone to the community to alter the game the way they want.

This is a method of making your game unique and popular to the players, giving them the freedom to do anything with it.
It's kinda the same with Warband, am I right?

The bugs, on the other hand, well Bethesda is very well known for that, I doubt it will change.  :mrgreen:

Anyways, it's not a bad thing.

Exactly, out of my 800 hours of Warband, probably less than 20 hours worth of those were spent on Native, which was mainly the multiplayer. Not everyone is going to love the vanilla games, I don't personally 'love' the vanilla Morrowind and Oblivion, but once I modded them I did love them, I don't see the issue here. I love the modding scene for games, being able to make the changes you want rather than developers forcing them upon you, how is that a bad thing?.

 I know I would rather the developers work on the big features and aspects of the game to deliver a solid product, so we can add our own small changes later on, which takes a few minutes at most to add something as trivial as needing food and water to survive.

It surely is going to be a good game, but the combat system looks like its still the same as oblivion; slice n dice. And also fast travel is still in the game which kinda ruins it alittle for me.

I'm repeating myself a bit now, but again, there will no doubt be a mod released on day 1 or 2 to remove the fast travel from the game for you, you can also probably just do it yourself through configs. This is why I truly love the Elder Scrolls games of this era. I myself like to keep fast travel, I wont use it unless I find I have to go back and forth to the same places too often, which does get boring when there isn't much to do along the way.

Then maybe it's safe to say the Elder Scrolls games just arent for you, considering their games have been huge hits, regardless of Oblivions issues, it has still been massive, it seems you just don't like them, which is fine, not everyone is going to like the same stuff.

You took it out of perspective, I said it's boring to travel back and forth between the same places again and again, because you go past the same stuff and the same places, you can't expect a unique event to happen everytime.

No RPG exists nowadays, where everytime you travel back and forth between the same location again and again, some cool unique stuff happens. In every game, if you travel back and forth between the same places, you will soon get bored, which is when I use the fast travel option.

Plus Elder Scrolls games have always been packed with side quests and random encounters.

Did I say I didnt like em?I loved Morrowind and played Oblivion eagerly for a while.

Especially Morrowind was just awesome, but I missed it´s freedom in Oblivion, alongside with several other flaws that made the game not as good as it could have been(Of course Oblivion had some nice ideas, too - just remember the Painter Quest)

All I was saying is that I would really prefer some kind of game like I posted, but Developers today hardly go new ways because they fear a flop.

I have played Fallout 1 and 2 numerous times, but the traveling isn't exactly the same as it is in Elder Scrolls games, also taking into the consideration that even though they are old games and software was not so advanced, it was far easier and quicker to program things back then.

Plus it isn't really a 'unique' event when you are attacked by a different 'kind or number' of something, all encounters are scripted to an extent. Developers can only script so much so you will find yourself doing missions that are ever so similiar, they might aswell be the same mission, that doesn't bother me personally because I can feel free to fast travel if I get bored.

But really I would rather them just work on the main aspects of the game over some kind of 'event generator', which only creates alot more missions that have just slight differences so people can call them "unique", when they won't be in terms in gameplay, only in the logical sense. Just wouldn't make the game anymore fun at all, when you consider the game already has the same sense of 'unique' encounters, just in a far simpler and straightforward manner.

That's of course all of my own opinion and I am a biased fanboy  :lol:, also a fan of Fallout 1 + 2, not 3 or New Vegas though, they were boring.

6gb does sound low, but you have to remember that Elder Scrolls games generally don't rely on video scenes and have never been sound fx heavy. Plus they may not have a fuck ton of textures, there are many ways to make things look different even if they are both using mostly the same textures.

The reason why the size of the game is so low is because they can re-use textures or take the current textures and expand them and place it down instead of small pieces here and there, or making new textures for every different place.

They do the mistake of trying to make games more and more like film, while we still do not fully comprehend what a video game is, and how the artform works.

I think that games, in a bigger extent than films require an "active imagination" as well as interactivity. "Gameyness" is a diffuse, relatively unexplored and diverse quality often forgotten, but obviously very important for the cRPG devs.

Imo warband/crpg still has the edge of being the best 120+ people on a map "fighting game" available. If similar amount of talent and resources backing big games today was controlled by people focusing on gameyness we would see much much better games. Imagine Warband/cRPG with a 50mill $$$$ budget..

Of course the graphics would be better, but also the netcode, the amount and choice of moves, the balance, the maps. Everything.

I don't know why they don't make better games, but I suspect they are influenced by narrow minded producers (and players) who want to see "money shots". There is also a problem of marketing, as non-interactive moving images and stills is the easiest way to quickly present the players what the game is about.

You cannot make an interactive commercial that also is the game, that also takes 30 seconds. Or a cool poster that is the game. There is no good way of conveying the experience of playing the game, without playing the game.

Also, of course, big games costs a lot of moneys, and must make that money back, just like big films. Big films are often stupid for the same reasons..  They have to be made to hit a large market which is mostly teenaged boys.

Just some reasons why we see so much stupidity in big games today.. :-)

Trailers are trailers. Remember the Dead Island trailer? Completely unrelated to the actual game.

In all honesty there's only so much you can do with console graphics. The leaked video looks fine for consoles.

I still hold my hopes for the PC. Even if the graphics options suck, it will be moddable very quickly.

I think Witcher 2 will beat Skyrim hands down in quality for games this year though. As will a few other games. But that doesn't mean Skyrim can't still be a very fun game.

I dont know about combat system in elder scrolls games, but I've been playing Dark messiah for last few days and it has great combat system. On hard difficulty is really hard, melee is similar with playing warband with autoblock, from first person(better view than warband of course) and before kick nerf.

If dont know this game, its worth trying. There is not much freedom, its mainly combat rpg game(magic is fun too).

Hmm, i'd still be playing the good guy in the end, all this dragon stuff sucks, been the last dragonborn, meh, doesn't really interest me, one thing that would be cool though, been able to summon a dragon, as for the combat system, it did seem rather slow and clunky in Oblivion, but no worries for me in Skyrim, i don't have to use a weapon again, i'm going full mage, should be fun...

How can people make a game with medieval weapons without spears?I mean, Oblivion was ok, but I had that constant thought while playing it.Thats not just totally unrealistic, its stupid.

I would so want to have a Spear in one and a Frost spell in the other hand.Or even maybe put a frost spell on the Spear so it would do Ice damage etc.

Spears are soooooo coool.

Wait - with morrowind that was the same with every weapon until you got more skill with it.

I remember going back to morrowind some time ago and I forgot how crap it was at low level to swing 100 times at 1 thing and score 5-10 hits.

Morrowind was based on rolls for whether u hit or not.

Same. Oblivion was a disappointment, but Skyrim looks very promising. They say they learned a lot from the Fallouts, and Fallout 3 was great right off the box.
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: Leesin on November 10, 2011, 09:19:03 am
Though I actually got bored of Fallout 3 alot quicker than I did Oblivion, even with mods, probably down to the combat being far worst in Fallout 3 than it was in Oblivion, that engine just wasn't made for guns and VATS got boring as hell. My main hopes are that they really have improved the AI alot in Skyrim, I know that they've definitely made alot of things unique where locations are concerned and the also have alot more voice actors so hopefully the world feels alot more diverse. The combat certainly looks better, not amazing, but good enough to keep me happy.

Witcher 2 had an OK melee system. It rewarded quick reactions, you could do awesome parries and if you were fast enough you could do parry-chains, never stopping, and basically killing a group of enemies in one movement. And it looked good.

That's true but it wasn't complex enough for me. Was very shallow compared to the games I mentioned. Still a good system though.

Yes, but I can already see how they'll implement it, your character will hold his weapon in front, and basically that will autoblock everything, so dumb.

At least that's how RPG games work.

What Iam really missing sometimes in those RPG´s is a option to play through the whole game almost without violence and still miss nothing.

And more options for RPíng, like a harp or other music instruments, together with a skill for them.You could play in taverns and get "renown" points which help you when you talk to lords or something and want them to do what you want etc.

I would play a travelling bard :/

Definitely playing as a mage, as i always do, hopefully they'll be a nice selection of robes to choose from as i don't use armour, won't be using weapons this time round either, maybe a staff though, and i'm either playing as a dark or high elf, i've always played as a dark elf, but i hear high elfs are better for magic, but dark elfs are just bad arse, i dunno, we'll see, game should arrive tomorrrow, arrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!

The Problem with finishing moves is, especially in a game like Skyrim: They get boring soooo fast.And in a game like Skyrim, with uncomparable more Playtime, it gets even more annoying.So either Devs should make like a 100 different Finishing animations, or they shouldn´t at all imo.It sucks after seeing it the 10th time.

What I also hope for are spells which enchant your weapon(For example a Dagger in the left and the Spell in the right hand, use the Spell and the Dagger turns into a massive Damage-maker for one hit or something like that).

I don't think it really matters what race you play as, but certian races will obviously be better at certain things at the beginning of the game, but not by much anyway, but as you progress, it shouldn't really matter...

To clear things up:

Blocking is no longer that optional thing you could do to preserve health like it was in oblivion
Unless you are playing on novice with a large weapon that one hits everything you will block or you will die
In skyrim you have to time your blocks until the last moment to maximize damage dealt.
You can no longer disregard blocking as unimportant and left click your way to victory. On anything above adept you CAN be two-three shot by common opponents with twohanders but if you block you can take roughly twice the amount of hits if you arent using a shield and have no shield perks.

Skyrim DOES have a stagger effect that comes into effect when you charge forward with a power strike. Seems to happen far more often with two handed weapons, particularly battle axes.

Fatigue no longer is some insignificant bar that nobody pays attention to. If you run out of fatigue in oblivion you suffer a minor damage penalty. Big fucking woop. In skyrim you suffer a damage penalty and if your fatigue drops below a certain level you cannot attack. Not confirmed but I believe damage reduction from blocking drops like a bomb

Hope this lets people know that the combat engine is a great improvement over oblivion.
 You just cant go into it expecting to spin thrust 360 chamber block imperial soldiers like a boss
One can not expect Skyrim to be M&B or street fighter [although I can dream]



Other Notes:
Devs recognized the huge problem with level scaling everything like they did in oblivion as it made leveling rather pointless. I am not yet high enough level to verify but they claim there will be easy challenges that make you feel like a boss and very hard yet possible challenges that humble you regardless of your level meaning gone are the days when you have to hit trolls 30 times in the face because you are level 34. I can verify being humbled in barrow downs playing on expert it took my about 5-7 tried to kill that damn spider thing without using the expoit of standing on the otherside of the doorway

There are no spears. Keep crying maybe they will listen next time.. probably not





and for the record

Stealth thief/ninja/naruto characters = gay
Magical mage/gandalf/ganondorf      = Gay
magic/warrior                                 = Bi
scrub faces who want to duel wield cuz it looks cool  = same my old friends that only ever play sniper classes in FPS games 
Warrior with a mother fucking battle and a fork beard = Straight

It looks like they put quite some work in redoing the combat system, because this sounds very awesome. I also noticed that melee animations look fantastic.

I have a question: Can you fight in 3rd person without being handicapped too much? I never liked fighting in first person.
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: MrShovelFace on November 11, 2011, 09:43:53 am
i have no problems

I forget what Oblivion did for hit detection but im near positive that Skyrim uses the weapon model for hit detection so what you see your character doing effects if you hit. Your character is also more receptive to turning with the camera in third person even when in the middle of a power attack so you can actually be more effective by being able to see whats behind you and turn to attack it mid swing. One of my person epic moments slaying a draug creeping behind me by turning 180 degrees WHILE doing a power attack overhead lol strike with a great axe.

There is also a somewhat convenient/omnipresent/annoying xhair to guide your aim in third person.

they claim to be using an over the shoulder camera but i only get it when i put away all my weapons. When your weapons are out the camera snaps to the center.



EDIT: Actually i just realized the battle axe has nine million ghost reach so all the twohanders might be using the same range

 SHIT I JUST REMEMBERED THAT EXECUTIONERS AXE AT THE BEGINING OF THE GAME I WANT THAT SHIT

Post by: Tennenoth on November 11, 2011, 10:37:54 am
Is there still the possibility to backpedal firing arrows at the enemy with higher agility like in Oblivion? I remember just going straight into the tournament area and running backwards with a bow and arrow spamming until they fell over from the weight.

I always enjoyed Oblivion but archery was so damned easy!

I know that seems rather stereotypical of me but practically every game I play, I am an archer of some description and i'd like to know if it will be a challenge like the melee actually is (ie, I can't just shoot as many arrows as I want, I actually have to fight in melee at some point, like in cRPG).  :rolleyes:
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: Xant on November 11, 2011, 10:44:32 am
There's no athletics thing in Skyrim.

Also, melee combat feels a LOT better than in Oblivion. In addition to what Shoveldude said, it now feels like your attacks have weight, you know? Instead of just slashing a stonewall.

Hm, can you effectively hybrid? I forgot how the TES skill system works and what was changed.

However, the console influence on the controls annoy me from time to time. Especially that you can't put spells/items on hotkeys. You have to fiddle with that horrible Fav menu. Let console players suffer, I don't care, but please introduce hotkeys for PC! Navigating menus and lists and items and whatever is a pain in the ass, too.

I also approve the berthseda choise to use their old graphic engine, and can't understand why game reviewers are punishing them for this. Who cares if they don't use the frosbite engine and if their textures are not the highest res possible.
The game is visually amazing, you can really see details everywhere, they managed to create a huge and vibrant world that doesn't feel hollow like oblivion. It's also stable, you can play it with the old pc or even laptops without troubles. And, more importantly, they used their time actually doing the game instead of coding a new fancy graphic engine...

Also, flying skill, I'd love that :P
Well you can always type TCL in the console and pretend u are using morrowind levitation spell  :mrgreen:


Most of the current issues will be dealt easily with mods i guess. But my major concern is the combat system. Bad Ia, pathfinding issue and pointless hack and slash feeling. I wanted to do a battlemage but meh i guess i'll just do a pure mage and then i'll trying an assassin.

No multiplayer = no sustaining playability , im not a nerd who enjoys single player RPG so it'll bore me out once i kill enough dragons and  idiot npcs .
No AI,fail game mechanics i really wonder wtf bethesda developed since morrowind to improve elder scrolls series.

However, the console influence on the controls annoy me from time to time. Especially that you can't put spells/items on hotkeys. You have to fiddle with that horrible Fav menu. Let console players suffer, I don't care, but please introduce hotkeys for PC!

bring up fav menu, hover over the item/spell you want, hit 1-9, peep your hotkey

And there are more peers than seers. I was giving out files with 2.1 Mbyte/sec, and receiving with lest than 15 Kbyte/sec. So I made a conclusion.

1) You wait for several weeks 'till it gets old

2) Or you buy it now and don't get bored by waiting whole f*cking day to be downloaded.

I prefer 2nd choice. Cuz when game is new - it's bugged as hell. And u get patches all the time through steam. So yeah.

Got my smithing skill to 88, been power training it  :lol:, I just spend all my gold on buying iron ingots + leather strips from the smiths and using them to make iron daggers, have the warrior stone thing and I think smithing counts as a warrior skill so +20% faster skill gain, dragon armour will soon be mine  :D.

Think I've killed about 5 dragons so far, maybe more, though I have found 3 powers, only 2 of which I bothered to learn, the first unrelenting force which everyone should have lol, disarm which is pretty cool and throw voice, which might be useful later, but I'll wait before I spend souls on it.

Think I'll start hunting more power words out after some more quests, have so many building up in my journal.

So I finished powering my smithing to 100 and made a suit of Dragonplate armour, except the gauntlets because I have dwarven gauntlets that give +30% dmg to bows. But anyway I upgraded the 3 pieces of dragonplate to Legendary  (Helm, Body and boots) and now I have 281 armour rating, I think it's a bit overpowered at my current level of 22 ( quite abit of that was obtained just by powering my smithing up from 20 lol ), even an army of cityguards had to hit me and shoot me a fuck ton of times to kill me, they were screaming "OP NERF".

 Daedric is better but I've yet to get Daedra hearts and also ebony is rare, so just using a legendary dwarven warhammer atm which is about 63 dmg or maybe more I forgot, hopefully I will get some ebony and daedra hearts soon so I can make better weapons.

If you mean how long did it take to get my smithing to 100, not very long at all, I just basically spent every bit of gold I have been earning from dungeons, quests etc on buying iron ingots and leather strips from blacksmiths in multiple towns and making tons of iron daggers until I got to 100.

So DragonArmor is the best? Would've thought Daedric Was. Ugh...but i like Daedric =/

I can make everything in the smithing tree and Daedric is the best stat wise, but dragonplate/dragonscale armour is very close behind. ( You can't make dragon weapons either, just armour ). But at the point in the game I am in, both ebony and daedra hearts are far rarer than dragon bones and scales, by the time I powered my smithing to 100 I had enough dragon bones and scales to make a full suit of Dragon plate then upgrade it to Legendary, then make two more Dragonplate body armours, upgrade them both to legendary and sell them for 1.4k each ( well a bit under that as I couldn't really find many people with higher gold ).

With my current armour set up I have 281 Armour rating ( would be higher but I am using some magic dwarven gloves because they give me a 30% bonus to bow damage ) and I also have 300 hp, I can pretty much stand infront of anything and smash the fuck out of it with my warhammer, I lasted a good while fighting against an army of city guards before they killed me, killed quite a few of them. If you went with a shield build you would be able to tank an even greater amont of damage, the fact the shield gives good armour rating too, but blocking also works alot better with a shield.

But you will still get trouble with tough and powerful magic casters, especially ones that move fast, but just carry potions or items that give resists so you can use them if you come up against something that does hurt you alot. Bows are also great to kill these guys with, I usually just use something as cover and shoot the fuck out of the annoying wankers, I haven't put anything into archery talent tree but it's still very useful at times, even more so that I use my legendary dwarven bow, making up a bit for the lack of bonuses from talents and skill lol.

No I don't see any possibility to craft mage armours. Glass armour is close behind the best, Light dragon armour which is called Dragonscale, instead of Dragonplate, is a bit stronger. Not so much that it would make a huge difference overall IMO.

How do the armors look like?

I can't really run new games, and only saw that Dragon.. Dragon plate? Or whatever.
It isn't that bad, judging from the screenie.

In Oblivion armor actually looked like a decent protection. In Skyrim you have those steel or leather "suits" with massive pointed shoulders, unprotected elbows and sometimes imba massive gauntlets or just some other piece of ship nicely wrapped around you.

I am reconciled with the fact, that fantasy is often taken as an excuse for infantile and dabbling dreams to come true, but I really do not like this certain kind of disneyland design. At least Witcher 2 looks decent, but even there are some elements of Assassins Creed-like shoulders.

would normally make a new char now but I think skyrim is designed for you to switch roles mid game, think about it. still not sure tho, I'm only level 16.

done main quest, its very good. playtime 21 hours. difficulty adept. done very little else tho.

would normally make a new char now but I think skyrim is designed for you to switch roles mid game, think about it. still not sure tho, I'm only level 16.

No I don't see any possibility to craft mage armours. Glass armour is close behind the best, Light dragon armour which is called Dragonscale, instead of Dragonplate, is a bit stronger. Not so much that it would make a huge difference overall IMO.

There is no need to craft Mage armors since they all have like 0 or 1 armor anyway.

You can just Enchant a Robe and here we go - Mage armor.


Although so Far I haven´t seen any negative effects for a Mage if you wear Heavy armor, so just go Enchanting to 100 and Smithing too, make a legendary Dragonplate and Enchant it with the best stuff you have and the effects of a mage robe.Undestroyable mage - done.

You did open the trap door and fell down on BOTH sides(Front one first?)?The Bubble should appear when you went out of the first one and fall down into the second one at the backside(The Bubble appears down in that hole and is called osmething like "to Conjuration Jury").

Oh and did you open all those strange things in the corners?I did at least, might have something to do with it.
Well this is what I did. I went up the stairs you see when you first enter the place. Then I jumped down in the middle of the maze untill I found the center. Then I went all the way back and opened the gate so I could enter later on. Then I jumped down in the maze again, but this time on the other side. I walked to the middle and then back and opened the secound gate. I opened all those things as well.

I dont know exactly, but I think you should just start with the front side and go in through the entrance, you know, without jumping in.Use those staffs to open the things and then it will probably work.


And again, did you open the Trap doors at the end of each mazeway?And fall down?(You need to open those with the staffs, too)

So iv been playing Skyrim all day and after trying various classes and chars and seeing how dragons are too easy to kill i have decided to spice things up with some roleplay:
im playing Umbra the orc on Master dificulty with the limitation of: Greatswords and orkish armor only. So far im glad i did this since the gameplay itself has been 10X more epic. Almost every fight is a challenge and the sense of achievment is awesome. Thank god there is plenty of companions to choose from as the life expetency of them in my company is very very short. :D

My second dragon kill was the most epic fight ever  :mrgreen: , complete adrenaline rush. Was doing some quest and fast traveled to Ansies house or something, bam a dragon appeares. It breathes ice on Me and Ansie and she gets pissed and starts hurling fireballs at him, she even summones a bear XD. She died sadly, but that wasnt my only help. A pack of wolves, a random orc bandit and some green nature thingy that shoots green beams (dryad???) atack the dragon during the fight (which lasted 15 min, not counting the many times i died ). Meanwhile im doing hit and run tactics, hiding in Ansies house and comming out when the dragon is down to smack it a few times and running back. When it was finaly over the killing blow animation was epic and i was like: YEEEEEAAA DOOOVAHKIINN!! :D

I highly recommen playing on Master difficulty  8-)

Good news everyone! Darn is back and he's already working on modifying (or rather trying to figure out) the UI together with quite a few other modders. Skyrim's UI seems to be made in flash, and while having a higher learning-curve than the old xml setup, it should also provide for more flexibility I think. Hopefully this means that we'll get a lot of good UI mods eventually  :D

How come I can't freely move the camera while running forward!?! That's probably my biggest gripe with the game so far, I want to be lame and watch my character running through the environment but apparently I can only do that when I'm standing still.

Edit: Also, I'm playing on the 360 because I don't have a beast computer but I wish developers of console games would take those of us without an HD tv into consideration. As it is now part of the game is a "short-sighted simulator" as text is almost impossible to read sometimes and I literally have to put my face up against a sign to read what it says.

I'm exactly the same. I just don't feel comfortable with the spacing and stuff in 1st person, especially when you end up spamming attacks in and out of range more than blocking since you can't cancel a swing with a block or chamber like in MnB  :mrgreen:

But your combat skills don't increase and the enemies get harder. So it's not that OP.

Also, I think guys powering their smithing to 100 aren't really doing themselves a favor. There are some really good looking armors, at least I like to spend some time using them.

True, i have 100 blacksmithing and only 50 in onehanded and about 35 in both heavy armor and block :D

Well, that's how I've gotten some Heavy armor points  :oops: Just let a bandit hit you for 2% of your HP for a long time. However, I'm almost positive that the harder the enemy the faster it goes up. I remember getting +1 to blocking, heavy armor and 1h when fighting a giant.

Would make sense for it to be "the more damage you take, the faster you level"...

Bandits scale a bit, from what I've seen. As in, when you get higher level there'll be some tougher bandits scattered among the weaker ones (Bandit Outlaw, Bandit Thug) etc. But it's great, gives you a bit of challenge. And makes sense, the tougher bandits are fairly rare and wear armors that make sense. Iron and stuff like that.

well scaling is alot less than oblivion, infact i'm not even that sure there is any scaling. personally haven't noticed any, game just feels easier and easier as I level up.

some enemies/areas are designed to be hard/impossible until you are higher level.

any even if it did scale as bad as oblivion trust me legendary dragon plate gives you a massive advantage ;)

100 smithing means you can make your weapons have double damage values too. definitely op.

The scaling has not had a big effect, my armour rating is still high for the level it seems because I can stand infront of nearly everything right now on master difficulty and smash it easily, my heavy armour skill is only going to get higher and along with it my armour rating, how long before do you think my armour rating is going to be higher than 300? not long lol.

You can change the difficulty at any time. And yeah, the normal dragons are weak. Blood dragons are much more difficult, and actually fight more like you'd expect a dragon to fight. Once, one refused to land at all, only breathing fire at me :(

My twohander skill was like 30 or something. Now I'm easily ten hours further into the game and my destruction skill is still only like 35. I constantly use destruction spells.

My twohander skill seems to increase way faster although I have the mage guardian stone activated from the get go. Still my twohander does a shitload more damage than my firebolts, which I have additional perks in. I really get the feeling twohander is just a lot better than magic. Dragons are a bitch to fight, until I whip out my twohander and kill them in a few swings.

Anyone else got launched like above a mountain when a giant hit next to their feet. I always have that, well out of two times it happened. I just soar into the sky lightning fast.

Lol man 2h is probably the hardest to play atleast on high diff. When you block you mitigate shit dmg, you have to wait for dragons to actualy land to melee them, then you have to run to them while they breather fire/ice in your face and finaly when you get to them you can make 1-2 swings before they literaly eat you. Not to mention every single spellcaster owned me untill i got the warp shout, you just can get to them on time. But now with wirlwind im getting my revenge :P

Vs hordes of lesser enemies - melee is king.

Vs big things, ranged is boss.

I played 2h until I met my forst dragons/frost trolls/giants.

Now I'm a 2h/archer hybrid :p

Post by: Xant on November 14, 2011, 08:26:27 pm
Melee gets really cool at higher levels, when you get all the cool perks and blocking starts to block pretty much all of the damage. Also, the shield perk that blocks 50% of frost/shock/fire damage is epic. Put up your shield and walk towards the mage.. or put it up and endure a dragon's breath attack! Just like knights in the dragon tales, it makes so much sense!

And this game's unique areas and quests still continue to amaze me, almost 40 hours in the game and still finding completely new stuff. Anyone else done the House of Horrors quest?

I think I'm just going to start a new mage character. I shouldn't have picked the Nord class, magicka regen is fucking me up, turns out race matters more than I thought. Still surprised I managed to do fine as a pure mage so far. I doubt I can muster the attention span to do a second playthrough so I better make this first one count. Time for a restart as a high elf, now that I actually understand something of this game.

you gotta put it on expert for any challenge, master is a bit too hard imo. I did turn it down to adept on some of the main quest boss fights since I was getting like 2 shotted. just press f5 alot tbh.

yeah I'm wrong I am noticing some scale, draug or w/e they are called scale alot. infact at one point I am vs 3 dragons and bunch of draug at same time, and dragons inconsistent AI meant draug were the only real threat.

actually 2h felt alot easier to me on expert difficulty but I liked the look of shield perks so I went for them. I defintely find 2h enmies aswell MUCH harder to fight, they can decap me currently with powerattacks even when I am about 60+ hp left.

I went nord just for RP value, but actually breton is the master race. 25% resistant to all magic is the shit. armour seemingly does nothing vs magic. once per day spells well 20 hours on my nord and never bothered using, and the starting skill bonuses mean dick all. its all about the passives, and bretons is way the best. even tho breton is supposed to be a mage race, its 100% the best race for any type of character imo.

PS: after beating main quest someone said dragons are 50% harder, but I haven't really noticed any change anywhere. think it might effect empire vs rebels quests but yet to know for sure.

But the high elf class has a bonus to magicka regen, now that I think about it, I assumed it was a passive bonus, is it? So you think the best race for a pure mage would also be Breton?

Nord Mage is fine.I have one, very nice.Get a nice Mage Robe and some Magicka increasing Items and youll be a Pwner(I can cast like 6 Double Lightning Bolts in a row and still have some magicka left)

btw. HOLYSHIT I encountered a Skeleton Dragon!

@Berenger: Vampire sucks

There is 4 Stages of it, each Day you dont feed it raises one higher, and with eaxch stage you get more powerful vampiric powers.At the 4th stage everybody can diminish you as Vampire and attacks you, EVERYONE.At this stage it is very hard to feed and thus very hard to play.

Also Magicka regen is extremely slow as Vamp and Stamina doesnt regenerate in the daylight.

I'm pretty sure it only works if you hit someone, because I'm positive (haven't really tested that well) that restoration (healing spells) only goes up if you're hurt.

So yeah, guys I need help.

I havent touched a singleplayer game since morrowind.

I like grinding and searching things (Diablo 2 for years, Titans Quest was nice too)...but I am also into simulations.

All these games have had in common, that I enjoyed em in multiplayer....

Now, as far as I know, Skyrim doesnt have multi (it just maximizes the fun)
I am also afraid it will be a disapointment after morrowind.

I usually always have an opinion on games, this time though, the game seems epic.....but the fact that there isnt even co op kills it.

Is it worth buying it?
Considering I allrdy have 2 games I am madly devoted to...

Doesn't it have some sort of "quest builder" programmed into it so that it will always pretty much give you quests that are different each time (the side quests rather than the scripted main ones)

I remember watching a video where he said they're more or less just "go here, kill guy x, return, recieve reward" but there are so many of them that it's pretty hard to get the same one twice in different play throughs..?

The more I read here the more I think I will buy it despite my previous thoughts as to keep myself less "busy". I might have to start putting parental controls onto my computer to stop me playing games for too long lol, this is getting silly, there aren't any more major titles coming out in the next weeks are there..?

It's a lot like Morrowind (much better than Oblivion). But I'm not sure does it has that special feeling Morrowind has when you travel from Balmora to Ald'Ruhn, go through Red Mountain (Ashlands) just to end up in Tel Mora. Seems that Skyrim has mainly Nord architecture, just like Oblivion had Imperial so I guess it's not as good for adventuring. But crafting is great and weather is back (real weather not that crap from Oblivion). It's a good game but I need something better to occupy me :(

Not a fan of the Mass Effect series, they claim "it's a linear experience made to feel like a free roaming one". I have to disagree, I found that I was always mushed down a road with a simple shooter and the story line never really grabbed me. Never played any of the Saints Row, probably won't bother either, it's difficult to get myself into series that I am not already into. Other people tend to be a massive influence as to what games I play, but indeed, I think I will be playing these games for a while to come! :P

Yeah but the thing with Saints Row 3 is. It's not serious. I mean it's completely for the lolz.

Saints Row 1 was semi-serious and had a decent storyline but from then on it evolved into a MUCH MUCH MUCH less unrealistic than GTA game.


I mean...streaking nude...basically GTA IV + Crazy Devs + Crazy Mindset + 1000+ Humor and Lolz features = Funniest game in years in terms of lolz factor.



It's nutty and you don't have to take it seriously at all. Easy to get into just do whatever you want to ingame.

It is worth it, Morrowind is still my favorite TES game but skyrim is really great. Main things i really have to complain about is stupid console interface and bugs but it's nothing game breaking. Currently got 28h in this game and i have visited only one main city although i do probably play more slow paced then most, reading all the books etc.

I put diff on master since I was expecting the game to be a quite a bit easier than previous TES games, I'd say I wasn't mistaken.
Quite frankly as a lvl 27~ mage I haven't had a real challenge in about... 15-20 levels and I don't even have to abuse the rather terrible pathfinding AI and AI in general. Levels around 5-10 or so where a bit of a bitch since I had no apprentice destruction spells, so I had to be pretty resourceful with using traps and a sword I enchanted with some minor fire enchantment.

Once you get the perk that allows destruction dual casts to stagger enemies nearly nothing is challenging in 1v1s and mass fights can be solved by just having a decent summon on hand since everything from weakest zombies to frost atronaches can tank the enemy for a time more than enough for me to regen the mana for their summon + some other spells. Once you get shouts as a mage it's essentially a steam roll, I just finished the Stormcloak rebellion vs Empire quest line without even having to reload more than once or twice where I died out of stupidity more than anything else.
The only enemies that  really are bitches are the liches (dem rhymes) since they can take over my summons and they cast the lightning "nearly-hitscan" spells which will take a big part of your HP.

Dragons are more annoying than epic, since with the spells they can just be kept midair stunlocked without even breathing on me.

In short I'd say the gameplay has improved, but it still feels more like a game than a "world" like morrowind was. Also the UI is sometimes unresponsive and clunky shit in general, I never had a problem with the one in morrowind or oblivion.
Some of the new books are a nice touch, though I can't help but ignore that nearly all are just recycled from previous games.

Oh and I play an imperial mage, which doesn't seem like the best option. Bretons keep being OP imo throughout TES.
Overall enjoyable game that imo didn't live up to the hype, similarly to the last installment before it.

Oh and I play an imperial mage, which doesn't seem like the best option. Bretons keep being OP imo throughout TES.

My girl is Breton conjurer, I'm playing on master and game is easy just like Two World II which means it's super easy.

People who think it's too easy, play a melee char. Even with heavy armor sabertooths and trolls can kill you easily and if you have no potions and stuff it can be a pain to fight enemys like that. Judging on what i've seen and heard so far, magic is OP and ez-mode! :D

I am doing Conjuration and I noticed they mostly unlocked every 10, until 40, at 40 I unlocked the spells designed for the level 50 perk, mana cost reduction, then at 50 I noticed no new spells to buy, then I read that the higher spell level from 50 is 75 rather than the short jumps before, then I assume 75 to 100 is the next jump. So if you are at 50, I would assume you will see the new spells available to buy between 65-75, perhaps a bit earlier, who knows.

Yeah me too, it's getting expensive to buy the skill points now aswell, plus it's pretty slow to gain it so far, at 53 conjuration now.

Well anyway, I now have my Daedric Helmet, Armour and Warhammer created and made Legendary whilst using one of those blacksmith potions to give them even better stats, just need to find two more Daedra hearts so I can make my Gauntlets and Boots and my suit will be complete.

Believe me, those gauntlets aren't min-maxing me to godhood at all, they just give my arrows some well needed punch, considering I don't have any talents in the archery tree, it's very useful when you are slow as fuck and go against certain enemies.

 Plus considering I have every single talent in the smith tree and 100 smithing, means it has been a large part of my leveling, thus things being scaled higher levels to match mine, so my armour is important because my combat skills would be below the average compaired to the level it's scaling for, bonuses on whatever I can get is useful.

Plus if anyone wanted to look good, they probably wouldn't wear many of the armours at all, they're mostly ugly as fuck.

Welp, I just found out a technique how to make the melee combat for 2h more or less as trivial as people make magic out to be. Only problem is that it can't be done in tight quarters, but then you can back-pedal and spam standing power attacks.

They have never killed me in one hit on adept, not on master either, but they sure as hell hit harder on master, so yes there is a difference. But regardless of your tactic, the point is killing a giant with your method is a huge waste of time and might aswell just avoid even fighting them, because the loot simply isn't worth that time you will take to kill it lol.

Yesterday two fucking Blood dragons attacked me together.

I was like :" You wont do that shit to me Homeboiiiii!" and cranked down the Difficulty to apprentice.2 Minutes lather both were dead and I still had full HP :D


btw, eazy mode to make money(Smithing and enchanting needed): Buy 20 iron ingots, 20 Leather strips.Make 20 Iron daggers(Should get you a bit of smithing skill).

next step is to have 20 filled petty(or lesser, most Draugrs have lesser souls) soul gems, should be easy after a dungeon or two.

Enchant the 20 daggers.

Sell them.

One should make about 200 gold if your enchanting skill is ok.

So youll have like 3000 Gold profit and nice + in smithing and Enchanting skill.

meh werewolf thingy is transformable when you wish.
You get a "transform to werewolf" power which can be used daily and if you don't use it you can stay human as much as you want . If you transform into werewolf you should feed from fallen enemies to stay as a werewolf . Its time is limited if you dont feed.
If you want to transform back to human simply dont feed for 1-3 minutes .

Yes, the game is all well and fun but it just seems like they tried to take the complaints they had with oblivion and mash them together with morrowind and sprinkled sugar on top of just about everything. Could use a few more hand placed items and reasons for me to climb onto ridiculous spots. The magic and "quick" menu actually seems like a step back more then anything else. The favorite menu just let's you wade through a little less inventory menu and seems kind of redundant and annoys the heck out of me when I want to use magic and a 2handed weapon but I have to pause to find the right spell and then hope when I select it it does so with both hands. As opposed to keeping my weapon out and then just casting the spell with a tap of a button and resuming the skull-bashing.

Not sure why they chose to completely get rid of attributes or a status screen or not add and improve some of the features they had in their previous games. Some NPCs being potentially hostile would've been perfect for adding the language skills back in the game, and could've added to the companion aspect and with all these mountains why not bring back the climbing skill and thaumaturgy? Why did they take away my mortar and pestle? Often times I carry around the ingredients because they're generally lighter then the 0.5 potions.

I was also sorely disappointed when I went back to Riverwood for the first time after being named Dragonborn and there not being any mitigating effects as people just continued to spout the same lines. Needless to say it's still a fun snooping/jack-ass simulator.

Dunmer 2h/bow/light armour/sneak. Though honestly I only like greatswords and none of the other 2h weapons and a 2h is no backstabbing weapon.
Frankly I just hate that "Blades"/"Blunt" was seperated into 1h/2h, even if it does make a bit more sense.

Should I make a char as I mentioned, or go 1h?

I stumbled on those last night. The Dwemer glacier ruins. I was having a 'quick' explore of a cave just before going to bed and ended up spending an hour in that place :P Exploring aimlessly has it's benefits. Got a crap load of stuff from there as well.

Centurions, spider robots and spheres (if memory serves I think they were called spheres).

Dunmer

This isn't Morrowind and you aren't Nerevar so I'm asking you, why Dark Elf?

Do it by the book like you did with your first char

2h

Nord

bow

Bosmer

sneak.

slaves (very racist of me I know)

Post by: Fraemi on November 17, 2011, 12:14:11 am
The dunmer call themselves that and it would be somewhat odd for one to call himself anything else, the altmer also call them dunmer. From what I've noticed other races tend to use dunmer as much as dark elf, with intellectuals edging towards the former. "Dark elf" jumps out more than dunmer does.

The rest would only apply if I was interested in taking race FOR a class, which is quite lame and  treats it like just a "game" and not like an universe to be immersed within, even if immersion is rather lacking in comparison to morrowind.
Race provides small bonuses and "milking" those is min/maxing in a TES game, lame and pointless in an already easy game where the focus shouldn't be only on the subpar combat.

Only races I'm personally interested in playing are imperials and dunmer.

edit: also an imperial mage is hardly minmaxing, only bonuses in resto/destr as I just checked long after making the character

They have never killed me in one hit on adept, not on master either, but they sure as hell hit harder on master, so yes there is a difference. But regardless of your tactic, the point is killing a giant with your method is a huge waste of time and might aswell just avoid even fighting them, because the loot simply isn't worth that time you will take to kill it lol.

Yeah, but it's immensely satisfying to kill a giant in close combat :)

You can also opt to destroy the Dark Brotherhood, different quest line instead of joining them if you attack/kill the 'kidnapper' from what I have read, so that would be more of a 'good' quest line. Though the little girl who is a vampire is hilarious, she told a story to the whole group about how she killed an old paedophile who wanted to buy her candy and went down a dark alley with her.

Thought I'd drop in a major tip, saves a lot of time and is similar to the hotkeying on pc like in morrowind/oblivion.
numbers 1-8

Open favourite menu (Q)
Scroll/Click the spell you want to bind to a certain number
Select that number
Enjoy

If it's a single hand weapon or a spell, then it first is "equipped" to left arm - double tap to get it in both arms.

edit:
Another I'd suggest is to set FOV at at least 90+, I personally use 100 for skyrim. Default is very low, something 60s-80s.
You can do this by opening console " ` " then typing in "fov x" where x is desired FOV.

Oh and ANOTHER thing is that skyrim has v-sync on by default and mouse acceleration integrated, a quick google search can solve that. Though it's worth mentioning that there is still some "delay" in mouse movements because of character turning or something, only in chairs is mouse movement un-obstructed.

Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: Fraemi on November 17, 2011, 04:15:41 pm
Ulfric is very likely to be a pawn of the Thalmor and anyone who sides with Ulfric in the first place just eases up the way for the Alderi Dominion to reinstate basically the mythic era relations between men and mer (elves) - slavery and possibly extermination.

tbh I think that people who side with Ulfric pay no attention to the information given in game and in books and just think it's a story of an evil oppressive empire and the good guys (FREEEDURRRRP).
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: Xant on November 17, 2011, 05:05:20 pm
No, wrong. Ulfric is no pawn, although the Aldmeri consider him an asset because civil war benefits them. However, after they're done liberating Skyrim, they'll take on the Aldmeri next. And they consider Aldmeri their main enemy and the Empire just as the Aldmeri puppet.

Soo...

Yeh the biggest catalyst for the rebellion was the White-Gold peace aggrement or whatever its called, where the elves imposed a ban on the worship of Talos in the Empire. So they hate the elves's guts. Although it does benefit the elves overall, classic divide and conquer strategy. They more or less came to a draw in the Great War, they didn't conquer the Empire but they defeated it. The peace agreement had the seeds of civil war sown inside of it, typically slimy elven foreplanning. An Empire without Skyrim and Skyrim without the Empire are weaker opponents than if they were united, and can easily be played against each other (I can't help but read every book I find in the game :( ).

Ulfric wouldn't nearly have enough manpower or any influence to face the dominion by "skyrim" alone, especially when he would still be seen as a traitor by many since his claim to being high-king is far from strong.
Ulfric also happens to be arrogant, extremely racist and narrowminded AND betrayed the monks at high hrothgar (sp).
When you first visit the palace where he speaks to his bodyguard it essentially embodies most followers of him who only see the short term future. Ulfric bases his claim on the previous king being "weak" and the worship of Talos being banned. The worship of Talos is essentially banned due to the lost war and since Talos was the founder of the septim line, it's fairly safe to assume that worship of Talos would be reinstated by Empire following a victorious engagement with the dominion.

It's still pretty damn obvious that splitting the rest of tamriel into fractured factions and leaders would do nothing but be a boon to the dominion in the long run.

Yes, it's totally dumb to actually want freedom. It's alright to let tyrants rule you and dictate what you can and can't do, even restricting religion, because hey, you wouldn't want those tyrants weakened, would you!

Hammerfell fought Aldmeri dominion to a standstill by themselves, forcing them to retreat from there. Also, nobody said he'd have to fight alone. Skyrim could fight against the elves with the Empire, not as a vassal, but as an equal ally.

It's a game naturally, and anything could happen. But it's far from "lol dumb writing, Ulfric is retarded for doing this"

The empire isn't an opressing entity and skyrim has been core part of the empire since it's foundation.
"Freedom" from Ulfric would mean mass discrimination against anyone who wasn't a nord and lived in skyrim, not to mention that Ulfric is hardly a bearer of freedom. Ulfric proposes "old ways" which mostly are "might makes right" and abolishement of the englightened attitude of the empire.

Nords might have good warriors, though it's impossible to evaluate how they would be capable of fighting in formations and large battles and not small skirmishes. Nords also happen to have very few proficent spellcasters and the more "rogue-ish" kind of fellows which would leave them very handicapped against the dominion.
I remember in morrowind even one of those nationalistic dunmers said that the "Imperials are weak when alone, but unbeatable when marching side by side" for example. Capabilities in 1v1 =/= capabilities in large battles, think maaaybe Romans vs Gauls loosely.
A skyrim where Talos was openly worshipped might as well just be the provocation the dominion needs to invade, it has nothing to do about skyrim being the only ones suffering from worship of Talos being banned.  The dominion is what imposes the limitations on Talos worship and not empire out of free will, the Altmer are upset that they believe a human is unworthy to become a deity and as such would use the same excuse to invade skyrim.

The empire isn't an opressing entity and skyrim has been core part of the empire since it's foundation.
"Freedom" from Ulfric would mean mass discrimination against anyone who wasn't a nord and lived in skyrim, not to mention that Ulfric is hardly a bearer of freedom. Ulfric proposes "old ways" which mostly are "might makes right" and abolishement of the englightened attitude of the empire.

Nords might have good warriors, though it's impossible to evaluate how they would be capable of fighting in formations and large battles and not small skirmishes. Nords also happen to have very few proficent spellcasters and the more "rogue-ish" kind of fellows which would leave them very handicapped against the dominion.
I remember in morrowind even one of those nationalistic dunmers said that the "Imperials are weak when alone, but unbeatable when marching side by side" for example. Capabilities in 1v1 =/= capabilities in large battles, think maaaybe Romans vs Gauls loosely.
A skyrim where Talos was openly worshipped might as well just be the provocation the dominion needs to invade, it has nothing to do about skyrim being the only ones suffering from worship of Talos being banned.  The dominion is what imposes the limitations on Talos worship and not empire out of free will, the Altmer are upset that they believe a human is unworthy to become a deity and as such would use the same excuse to invade skyrim.

An alliance, even if formed, would be very uneasy and distrusting of one another. The fracturing would destroy any chance of opposition the dominion.  Not to mention skyrim wasn't a vassal of the empire, but an intergral part since the very first days of it.

Of course the Empire is an oppressive entity. It allows Thalmor agents to roam around the land and imprison those they see fit, it outlawed worship of Talos..
Who's to say the Old Ways are wrong, anyway?

Nords had their own Empire once, and Skyrim had its own legions fighting in the Great War, so they do know how to fight together, especially if trained to do so.

That's all fine and dandy though, it could go either way. There's no correct answer to which side is 'better'. As to a possible war with the Aldmeri, that's the same. All depends on how Bethesda wants to write the story.

The empire has no options but to allow the thalmor to enforce it, they lost a war and are having the treaty forced upon them.
It's more similar to having a gun put to your head while you must recite a foreign hymn. As I said - they would be just as likely to invade skyrim to disallow Talos worship if they wanted to and the empire would obviously be very hesitant to support those who so eagerly killed their citizens not too long ago.

Because "old ways" are narrowminded and limit creativity and natural potential of all mankind in tamriel, "old ways" vs a modern view of tamriel is obvious - take a parallel out of real world, the dwemer prove that technology is viable and obviously gave them much that the other races still envy to the 4th era.

While it's entirely the choice of bethesda on how to write the story - it doesn't mean that it's impossible to make a reasonable prediction using logic and history.

Maybe not, but that's not what you're doing. You're just giving your opinion, which is fine. I personally don't think there is enough material to make a reasonable prediction. The lore is very hesitant to give any numbers, for example.

Numbers aren't necesarry and that is exactly what I'm doing, it's fairly simple to see why 2 factions who have had war recently might be more hesitant to ally with one another and it's also fairly easy to see why embracing the old ways is far from the greatest idea and so on. I backed up every single statement with reason, an opinion may be more or less true because of what is used to back it up.

Seriously, it's a personal opinion, none of the sides have a clean slate. The Imperials ARE oppressive and the Nords are a bit narrow-minded, that's true. Ulfric wants power and maybe he doesn't know of the consequences, but IMO he fights for a good thing, because Skyrim is the country of the Nords and not the Imperials, they have no right to control them. If a country is oppressed by an other country it's the peoples right to fight against their oppressors.

Why not, however nerdy this is i find it fun to discuss. I realy like TES lore

Gotta do the main quest to see how everything unfolds in the big picture before i can discuss the mer vs men fully.

I wanted to ask if the dissapearance of the two moons is explained, the Khajiits are on the Aldmer side as they claimed that their magic restored the 2 moons (The Khajiit are biologicaly tied to the moons http://www.imperial-library.info/content/khajiit-physiology-phases-and-forms)

My opinion on the subject: I always thought that the Aldmer were responsible for the dissapearance of the moons in the first place, and that they conveniently took credit for restoring them in order to gain power in Elsweyr.

I'm not sure whether the +% smithing bonuses stack from items, but I found a ring, necklace and gloves of smithing and did some testing.

Normal daedric 1h sword - 30 damage
Improving it to legendary without smithing bonuses - 53 damage
Improving it to legendary with smithing bonuses - 62 or 63 damage :)

My items are:
ring - 15% smithing
necklace - 17% smithing
gloves - 20% smithing

This tells me only 20% smithing was accounted for, so I guess they don't stack? Forgot to do tests with only gloves on... :P

They indeed stack.  The potion effects stack with the gear as well, which can get you truly ridiculous numbers. 

Saw a thread on the official Bethesda forums about a guy with 100 in Alchemy, Enchanting, and Smithing combine all the different crafting boosts with his 100 two-handed and the temp damage potions to come out with like a 5,500 damage daedric great sword.  One hit everything?  Yeah.  Doubt the game would be much fun at that point though.

About voices: just FYI Jarl of Stormcloaks - whatever his name was - is played by Vladimir Kulich. You know, the classic viking archetype from 13th Warrior, minus the plate armor in the movie.


Anyways... Elder Scroll games are dull and shallow when it comes to actual quest depthness and the possibility of the only substitute of actual roleplaying in a computer game - making moral choices. It might be that my guy didnt have enough speech for it buts its rather idiotic that the skill which allows you to actually roleplay some type of a character requires you to sell shitload of stuff to level it up enough for anything worthwhile.
95% of quests are pretty much D&D edition 1, go there, kill the bad guy, bring something back. Look at the main quests line. Bad guy threatening the world, the chosen hero cant defeat him without an artifact, learn artifacts location from a sage, go grab the artifact and kill the bad guy. And thats it. Classic heroic fantasy story stereotype, unfortunatelly.

Skyrim is really good looking, has epic (although really short and straightforward) storyline and semi-open world. Not much of actual RPG game in here to be honest, it's more an adventure game. Oh, right, about open world - what really pisses me off is that some of the NPCs are immortal. You cant kill most of the quest givers. You cant kill children either. I know it's a console game and PG12+ but seriously, it could've been handled better than just invulnerability.

I'd really like to see Planescape Torment remade with this engine. That would be something. Even Baldurs would do.

Summing up Skyrim, I liked Dragon Age more. More actual roleplaying, even if it was all scripted and linear.
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: B3RS3RK on November 18, 2011, 01:43:35 pm
Dragon age was so fucking stupid.How dare you even compare it to Skyrim!

And of course are the most quests about going in a dungeon and recovering something/Killing somebody and then returning.There isnt much else you could do.
Oh and about the immortality: How would you like it if Dragons ate the Guy you just made a Quest for?Oh and the next Guy you wanted to do a Quest for is eaten, too, Sorry Lad!Not to forget the Guy who gives you al the quests inside a guild.Dead.Take a break from that Quest line.

That would suck so unbelievably.All NPCs that arent important for Quests are killable.Even some that ARE.Happened to me countless times that I killed a Guy or a Girl going with me with a Fireball, accidentaly.

Do better to save the next ones then. You obviously never played Fallout*. Unfortunately Skyrim is exactly such kindergarden which doesnt allow you to get hurt in any way or to actually fuck up something for good.



*clarification: Fallout = Fallout 1 and 2, not these new ones which are Elder Scrolls in Fallout world.


PS. Perfect example why npcs immortality sucks. While going through mountains at night I encountered some sort of scouting party next to a bonfire, I ambushed them, shot all before they realized where I even was. Or at least they all were laying down with arrows in them. I had absolutely no desire to get involved in anything, just to kill them, grab the gear and move on. Unfortunately, gods of Skyrim in their wisdom saw fit not to grant me that little rogue wish and made one of these soldiers An Immortal Questgiver. Right now he's in front of me on his knees, recovering from dozens of arrows I put in him. I'm wondering if when he gets back on his feet he's going to attack me and kill me because I can't kill him or if he's going to ignore that I killed seven of his comrades and still will be eager to share His Important Quest with me.

Why o why do people keep comparing linear RPGs to Skyrim? You can't do it. Just like Witcher 2 (compared in a different thread), Dragon Age was an awesome game, but it's not open world, follows a very linear story line, albeit with a few moral choices a long the way (which still pretty much bring about relatively the same ending). They are all amazing games. But Skyrim is a completely different style of RPG to those two. Whilst Dragon Age and Witcher 2 are very similar.

Also, what was that thing about you all saying that Giants and Dragons being all powerful?

And Giants, just run up a cliff spam shoot spam shoot and spam shoot. Jump down cliff, spam shoot, run, look back, shoot and repeat process.

The hardest enemy for me personally that I have fought was a Lich that used lightning bolts or w/e, he spammed them like a mother fucker and could kill me before I could even close the distance sometimes, he wasn't avoidable as was part of a dungeon quest and had to be destroyed, though I was playing on higher difficulty and I can't remember what level I was at, neither did I have any potions or items to resist shock.

Just a few Hours ago a Elder Dragon attacked a Giant who happened to stand relatively close to me, he got s oraped by me and the giant.After that, the Giant follwed me and I had to turn the difficulty down to apprentice to be able to kill him without getting killed myself.

Basically Deathclaw which exist in the Fallout series, is a creature that runs fast like hell and does stinging nasty pierce gaaaaawd fuuuuu damage and got some HP as well to protect it lol.

But anyhow, That Mammooth took more arrows than the giant and was faster as well. Barely did any damage even though i had some archery buffing items, sneaking and other stuff as well to account for.

Oh well. Elder Dragon btw? Strongest monster ingame or what? Except to the possible Dragon Boss i'll bet that will be in the end of MQ lol. I dunno but i'm almost certain there's a Dragon Final SUPER UBER DESTROYER DRAGON OF UNIVERSE boss at the end.

Now that my character is properly lvled i can kill 2 giants +1-2 mammoths at the same time, no potions if i play it right (hard diff.) and that's in legendary imperial armor and without ridiculous enchantments on my armor/no enchantments on my sword. Decent mage enemies , however....let's just say thank god for F9.

Admit it's a draggy though? :D So predictable XD But i love draggys lol. Was completely unprepared when i met my 2nd dragon after the 1st in MQ and had just finished a necromancer going trolololol in Tombs quest and came out and felt like ground was starting to shake and heard this mighty sound. Went a bit to the right and saw a red dot on map and HOLY SHIT DRAGON!

And then i saw a big ass red fireball coming out of the forrest. Jeez luckily the son or whatever who gave me the quest with the necro in tomb started to help in (lol) and was blocking with shield while i started to spam headshot the draggy with arrows.

just got the force shout, have all the perks from blocking, i use shield charge that knocks them down and shield bash too of course, problem is the strongest mages sometimes can twoshot me before i reach them.

Try to get the Spellbreaker daedric artifact shield if you're level 17-20, gives you a magic ward of 50 hp whenever you block, it can even resist a whole dragon breath attack, its also the highest armor rating shield of the game.

I'm assuming it's quick-save.

I fought a lich in some tomb where a phantom asked for my help, had I not cheesed him to death by hiding behind a chest high wall and shooting him with about 80 arrows he would've easily killed me with two shock bolts. I was level 20 and somehow I don't see that fight being any easier even if I was a higher level.

Ended up starting over as an Imperial as it seems I wasted some skill points on my first Khajiit by picking both light armor and alteration but I might continue playing him anyway as I don't feel like retreading a lot of places. I did climb all the way to the top of Hrothgrar at level 1 with him though by implementing my own climbing skill, then it took me about 45 minutes to climb back down because I refused to use paths. That mountain is kind of glitchy too.

My thoughts on main quest and end of it, no real spoilers ahead:

The boss fights of main quest are all very easy, apart from 1 which even then wasn't harder than a lich.
Graphics were the fanciest at the end, it did feel somewhat like an epic tale remotely, but there was nearly not enough build up and after it was over I felt like "Oh, it's over now?"
Shortest and frankly worst main quest in TES, being the Dragonborn felt even less grand than the Champion of Cyrodil, not to even compare it with being the Nerevarine.

What I grew to dislike most about skyrim is the mmo type of enchantments on equipment like "+20% to x skill" and how your character is essentially in a completely different stat system than the NPCs, unlike tes3/4.
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: Bobthehero on November 18, 2011, 08:48:24 pm
As far as I know the +20% is toward the skill itself, the hundred points possible, so its basicaly +20 points.

What is it with the romanophilia of Bethesda by the way? The Legion from New Vegas is pretty much identical visually to the Empire in Skyrim. The Empire is so lame, they have very creative designs for some things in the game, but the Empire are just Romans. Funny how a slightly futuristic version and a fantasy version of Romans look exactly identical.

The game is starting to wear on me, I have played it for like 20 hours. I will make a bigger post full of rage at the lameness of this game as soon as I can be arsed. And as soon as I can stop playing.

Open console, type tcl and then press enter.

Or if you want to do it the official way.

Copied from Wikia.


''At the end of Raldbthar there is a Dwarven Mechanism which you lack the necessary item to activate. (First Dark Brotherhood Contract Area For Muiri)

The item is an attunement sphere found in other dwemer ruins.

To unlock the mechanism you need to travel north of Winterhold. Carefully walk down the mountain, or jump off the bridge path to the college and pray you land in the water (not suggested) then swim north past Skytemple ruins, to a cave called Septimus Signus's Outpost. Once you have talked to Septimus he will give you a quest called Discerning the Transmundane and give you key to open the Dwarven Mechanisms.''

That one was a bitch for me. But for me he was primarily a fire user, not bolts. But his fire could kill me in 2 hits. So I loaded up on ebony arrows, stacked the resist fire potions, cast my frost shout at him and then pumped as many arrows as I could into him as fast as I could. Resist fire potions were surprisingly effective.

Havent had any hard fights so far. AI is terrible, it's true that many mobs can just one-shot me (like Draugr Deathlords with their shout, or whatevers is the name of highest tier zombies) but they fail even at pathfinding. All mages really start to fail when you just pop out of cover to loose arrow and hide again, they just stand there, cast their spell where they saw you last time or even dont cast at all because they cant see you anymore. Same for dragons.

Also, rogue gameplay gets really easy once you get 30x damage bonus when backstabbing and predators cloak nightingale cloak of shadows. I imagine that straightforward open combat warrior characters may have problems at times.

But it sure is fun as hell being the stealthy troll one shotting things with a dagger because of 15x damage multiplier  :lol:.

EDIT: I love Elder Scrolls game quirky - not quite done AI sometimes. I was traveling along and came across one of those towers with a bandit fort around it, I sneaked up and studied the defenses. I saw a Rabbit come close to the fort and a bandit archer on one of the little watch towers started shooting at it, missing badly. Then suddenly a crazy orc bandit comes sprinting out of the fort and chases the rabbit into the forest where I follow, I sneak up on him after he has killed it and I hear him talking about how he warned the rabbit to hand over its gold or else  :lol:. Then I one hitted him and the tower archer with my bow.

Yeah looked at sneak skills list and was like at the top...WTF 15x damage with daggers in sneak mode? GTFO lol.


My archer is still there but i've started a new char as a mage Breton. Pretty fun dual casting.

I might go Assassin on my 3rd char but i really really doubt i'll go Full Melee like Shielder 1 handed, 2handed etc etc.

Yeah its so annoying be tossed around like a midget, worse shit was it makes you drop your weapon too I've lost my orcish maul in the first encounter then I forged a new Epic Glass BattleAxe (aka Mega Penis) that paralyses the enemy for few seconds then he was less annoying. If you are forging your own weapons give an unusually long name which makes it easier to find on the ground.

There is a connection between gaming and intelligence? I know tons of morons that game.

Anyway, why the hell is everything in Skyrim and rpg's in general underground? Who thought of dungeons being fun? I just walk past tons of dungeons cause I can't be arsed to move through corridors for an hour killing the same enemy in different rooms.

If they have a shit ton of graphical power, why don't they use that to create more surface areas where you have to fight in. The dungeon concept should have been gone from gaming by now, I can see it being necesarry in the old days, but now, just make decent fights and locations on the surface.

Dungeons are an easy way out for the designers. Not sure how to make this quest properly time consuming? Put it in a dungeon, make a dozen rooms and put 3 enemies in every room. Put a tougher version of the same enemy in the last room with the quest item and voila, you have a quest.

Although some dungeons are visually appealing, most of them are just very similar. They made about 5 dungeon styles and used them to create like what? A hundred? No wonder it has so many hours when it's so easy to create new quests and areas. Make one little door on the surface and put an enormous streak of corridors behind it, which wouldve brought you halfway the map on the surface, but actually have moved you only a tiny bit when you get out.

I'd rather have a 20 hour game that has thought and clever design put into the quest than a 200 hours long dungeon crawler. It's a pity the quest design doesn't hold up to the rest of the game, a game is only as good as its weakest aspect.

It's not his fault Bethesda is making the same mistakes for more than 10 years...

Problem with balance with Elder Scrolls games lies in the fact that you can play it like:

1) a proper action RPG, doing quests and killing monsters and  earning stat and skill points fair and square
2) a douche, exploit the game by stealing all available shit, selling it to traders and then using all those chests of gold coins to "train" attributes and skills.

First way is the right away and generates most fun. Second way is a shortcut and doesn't make sense because since the begining ES games were ultra easy for MIN-MAX freaks.

In Morrowind easiest way to do it was: go to the northeast tower in Balmora, steal the expensive sword, break into that house which has many expensive soul stones and steal them, then go to Ebonhart, steal some expensive things, then go to Caldera and sell all to that rat which buys things for original item price :rolleyes:

In Oblivion it's even easier, just make a magic which will buff you to 100 in no time or exploit trading master teachers...

/shrug, there's always going to be ways to exploit yourself to godhood in an open world game like Skyrim. It's up to you to not do that.

Well about exploiting,

No you don't really need that. I have a considerable amount of smiting skill (up to ebony) and I have 3 items that help me to sell for better prices (mask of Calvicus Vile and few other crap) plus potions (total above %50 better prices)
So since I'm making good money with glass/orchish stuff I constantly level up and make about 6k per level. Everkistus mentioned that he also made good money from crap potions. Only shit part is you dont want to face bosses with your lower magic/melee/archery skill, forsworn and bandits are one hit chaps but sometimes you might face tricky guys like the one i mentioned above.

Based on the previous 3 games, next Elder Scrolls should be set in Hammerfell or Elder Scrolls VI: Hammerfell.

Based on some pre Skyrim rumours it should be  Elder Scrolls VI: Summerset Isle.

For Dwemer race to be central protagonists of the story game must be again placed in Vvanderfell which is the central island of Morrowind region.

About horses....is it just me or...i really hate the horse controls in Skyrim.

First and foremost, you can't watch in FPV afaik. 2ndly....afaik you can't look around you and behind without the horse turning that direction as well.

Oh well.

It's not his fault Bethesda is making the same mistakes for more than 10 years...

Problem with balance with Elder Scrolls games lies in the fact that you can play it like:

1) a proper action RPG, doing quests and killing monsters and  earning stat and skill points fair and square
2) a douche, exploit the game by stealing all available shit, selling it to traders and then using all those chests of gold coins to "train" attributes and skills.

First way is the right away and generates most fun. Second way is a shortcut and doesn't make sense because since the begining ES games were ultra easy for MIN-MAX freaks.

In Morrowind easiest way to do it was: go to the northeast tower in Balmora, steal the expensive sword, break into that house which has many expensive soul stones and steal them, then go to Ebonhart, steal some expensive things, then go to Caldera and sell all to that rat which buys things for original item price :rolleyes:

In Oblivion it's even easier, just make a magic which will buff you to 100 in no time or exploit trading master teachers...

If people want to do things like that then they may aswell stop trying to fool themselves and use the console to cheat, because they are only cheating the game and themselves anyway. But that's kind of the point anyway, the game gives alot of freedom and allows the player to play how he likes, it's been like that for 15 years because that's how the ES games are meant to be.

I have just two questions:

1) Who keeps refilling these candles and lanterns in the dungeons?  I mean the places is full of traps and zombies that activate when anyone comes near.  WHO IS THIS SECRET SOCIETY OF CANDLE DISTRIBUTORS.  WHAT ARE THEIR SECRETS.  (Are they the ones that also leave gold and valuables behind in areas that should have clearly been pilfered a long time ago?  Maybe they're like a theme park authority.)

2) Why do all of these villages seem to be like a quarter mile from each other.  I mean, I think I spent more time walking from work to the restaurant down the street than I spent between some of these hotspots.  (Okay so I guess I'm "running" everywhere but really their run is like a brisk walk.  Nobody in the world actually walks at the Skyrim "walk" pace.  Old people in the mall would be leaving you in their dust.)

I wish next TES would take place in Elsweyr. Hearing of epic big deserts and cities eaten up by desert and tropical forests and shit.

EPIC!

Plus epic Khajit voices.

Beats mountains and mountains...and green forests with thousands of trees and etc etc.
Morrowinds landscape was imo a little more into Elsweyr way than Cyrodill/Skyrim.


Oh well hope next TES is either Elsweyr or Hammerfell.

But it's most likely going to take place in shitty shitty High Elf bullshit Summerset Isles or some other crappy elven shit.

Started an assasin/frost mage dunmer called Sub Zero  :mrgreen:. This time on master difficulty (previous one was on expert). Lvl 16, mainly doing thieves guild quests atm. Was just exploring and stumbled upon one of those dragon spots high in the mountains. Took me ~30 minutes to killa blood dragon, had to use  everything at my disposal:hiding behind a rock from his frost breath, archery,restoration,potions,magic etc.  First time i've actually felt like i've accomplished something after killing a dragon in this game, it was too easy before.

The best part is that after killing and looting the dragon i walked towards the wall of shouts and completely forgot that there's probably gonna be a lich there as well. Well, there was (Krosis). Another 30-40 minutes (wasted most of my arrows on the dragon, had to use magic and switch to robes, i was lucky the lich was using fireballs mostly because my char has natural resists to fire) and it's over. Pure satisfaction, ty master difficulty =).

Not gonna waste my game experience by powerlvling and abusing alchemy/enchanting/smithing on this character.

Yeah that's weird because in Lolblivion at Pale Pass where you met those ghost akaviri soldiers and skeleton they had the shape of Imperial Humans.

So I play on Adept and turn the Difficulty down to Aprrentice if I die thrice in a Row or face something that I know will be Unbelievably hard for my char.

And Iam fine, Skyrim is still the best game I´ve played in years, I dont rob myself of any joy, really.The most fun in Elder scrolls games is gotten out of Exploring and such anyway for me, not Fighting(How could it even with that crappy fighting system).

Like movetoqt if for example only. I need to go to Ulfric the Gay in his castle. Instead of just fast travel to Windhelm i can just go movetoqt and go directly to him :P Saves valuable time :o

Mostly at quests which is go there, come back, fetch that, get this, go back etc etc....


Also bout melee combat system. Gotta admit it's rather crappy.

But when you get a light armored assassin character with 2 Steel Daggers and the faster hits with Dual Weapons in One Handed Skills you will think a lil bit different.

It's epic in 3rd person just slicing everyone around you and dodging their attacks and going power attacks and shit on their asses with those daggers lol.

Yes, adept is a good difficulty. It's not too easy and sometimes you have to use all the stuff you got to master a situation. It gets easier with the higher levels though.

I don't understand why you would want to put it on a higher difficulty. Some of you find some sort of sick satisfaction needing to pump 80+ arrows into some enemies, which also invariably involves abusing the AI pathfinding.

Is there some site which describes some of the underlying mechanics for the game? I think maybe down the road I will pirate this for PC, although I'll have to play it on the ugliest settings, just to see what mods have done to it because as of right now I really wish I could change a lot of the gameplay around on the 360 version.

This game has seriously made me consider booting up morrowind again.

So I'm done with it, more or less. Unless I can find a dragon riding mod anytime soon I doubt I'll boot it up again.

I still have tons of unfinished quests, but I doubt any of those are giving me some memorable epic moment, so I'll just leave it at that. The biggest problem is that the fights are just so boring. It's not that they are too easy or too hard, just boring. I guess I would play on to explore some more dungeons, because some are really beautful
(click to show/hide)
, but always having to fight enemies ruins my exploration fun :P

Anyway, was a great game, I guess I had about 100 hours of fun with it, the details are really astonishing, the story was good, but not breathtaking, and in general I'd say a nice package with lots of features, hopefully that will be a slap on the wrist for some other game studios to get shit together and actually do something more advanced than just improving graphics and be done with that.

Im done with it, I think I have completed every quest there is, GO MEH, anyway.

As for the combat: I would say if you want it be boring go melee, want it to be very boring? go 2h melee :P, the warding thing for magic is quite a nice thing for the fights and archery is also pretty cool, but blocking in skyrim is useless, especially when everybody uses a power strike to just attack through, it have become quite like a hack n slash game.

Graphics: I would say that they have really improved the graphics, I also like how they made the map.

Quest: I think compared to oblivion that the quests was better, but in a way it was stille quite the same quests just added a little more touch to it than they did before, also its good that they got more voice actors than only having 14 like in oblivion.

No because Shield/2handed fighting atleast in Skyrim looks shit.

Back when i played CRPG i could enjoy playing as a shielder and occasionally as a mauler/hammer/blunt warrior.

But it's hard for me to enjoy the melee combat system in TES series. It's too slow, blocking is so meh and it's not the best combat system in any case either. I like exploring, sneaking around and etc etc..

Post by: Gorath on November 20, 2011, 08:43:16 pm

Blocking in Skyrim actually uses a proper timing system.  If you twitch block at the right moments you are rewarded with decreased incoming damage (or none if you feat for it) along with a block stun against the attacker.  This works for both shield and non-shield blocks.

Also if you feat for blocking and use tap blocking with proper timing it becomes the most effective anti-melee defense there is in the game (other than exploited uber armors of exploiting my old friendgyness).
You also stop power attacks this way (except from very very very large critters like giants of smashing, lol)
I will fraps some footage to show you the difference between held blocks and timed blocks.  Other than there not being any directional blocking, when you combine the 4-directional power attacks it reminds me of really basic M&B combat.

*On a side note:  If the melee combat in DarkFail had been like it is in Skyrim I would have probably never stopped playing that MMO.  Sure it's not as in-depth as M&B, but it's a far cry better than any other MMO out there and has just enough timing-twitch based reward to make melee pvp fun.*

So I'm done with it, more or less. Unless I can find a dragon riding mod anytime soon I doubt I'll boot it up again.

I still have tons of unfinished quests, but I doubt any of those are giving me some memorable epic moment, so I'll just leave it at that. The biggest problem is that the fights are just so boring. It's not that they are too easy or too hard, just boring. I guess I would play on to explore some more dungeons, because some are really beautful
(click to show/hide)
, but always having to fight enemies ruins my exploration fun :P

Anyway, was a great game, I guess I had about 100 hours of fun with it, the details are really astonishing, the story was good, but not breathtaking, and in general I'd say a nice package with lots of features, hopefully that will be a slap on the wrist for some other game studios to get shit together and actually do something more advanced than just improving graphics and be done with that.

as for the story:

Anyway, I'm looking forward to some strategus siege now.


Oh those spoilers ruined it for me.  I am going to ship my copy back and get a refund (once I get it in the mail).   Also, a strategus siege is still 1-2 months away as no one can afford to lose that much gold ina  siege when the looting system is still broken.

I actually rather like Skyrim's melee - on Master. It forces you to time your blocks right, use shieldbash(and powershieldbash) to create openings, footwork so you don't get surrounded, combos (normal attack, normal attack, powerattack.. the powerattack is instant if you do it like that, or at least seems that way) and there are actually different moves: going sideways to the right and attacking is a different attack, as is moving to the left etc. Not to forget the sprinting jump-attacks you get after you unlock the perk.

This combined with different Shouts (although Elemental Fury is heads and shoulders above other shouts when it comes to melee chars) and the occasional use of environment makes it fun. On Master. On the other difficulties you can basically left-click your way to victory.

Blocking in Skyrim actually uses a proper timing system.  If you twitch block at the right moments you are rewarded with decreased incoming damage (or none if you feat for it) along with a block stun against the attacker.  This works for both shield and non-shield blocks.

Also if you feat for blocking and use tap blocking with proper timing it becomes the most effective anti-melee defense there is in the game (other than exploited uber armors of exploiting my old friendgyness).

The timing with blocking have to be really precise then, because i tried to tap it at the right moment, but it didnt seem to work out for me. It was also like that in oblivion btw with the blocking.

I'm pretty sure that Xant can verify the timed blocking mechanics.  And yes, it is pretty precise.  But having played WB so long everyone here that's half decent at melee should be able to do them no problem.

Post by: Xant on November 20, 2011, 10:37:53 pm
Maybe it depends on some perks. In the beginning I remember thinking that the tap-blocks didn't work at all, but now they work very well. Or it may be me getting used to Skyrim's combat.

Anyone know if the "shield wall" perk that reduces damage from blocking works without shield? I mean it's not very clear, because the perk says nothing about being shield only. And the description of "block skill" is for 1h, 2h weapons and shields. :S

Yes actually, it does work without a shield.
Skyrim actually seems to work pretty well that way.  Unless it specifies "with a shield" or "With a 2h'd weapon" etc then the ability does work across the board.  The only difference being that you don't have a "bash" without a shield, so obviously those abilities don't work without one (even though it doesn't specify).  However on my 2h'd hammer specialist I did have a reason to grab 5 shield wall, and the 2 ranks of "time slows down" if you block during an enemies power attack.  Combined with heavy armor perks he's a juggernaut of destruction.  Of course I did make a 2nd melee character that uses a shield and 1her along with light armor just for variety and I have to say that I love the fatality animations along with shield bashing.  Also sprinting with my shield up and knocking enemies down as I collide into them really makes me remember how much I hate the treatment of shield combat in WB/cRPG.  Shields are such cool weapons along with being defensive tools and they're hardly ever treated as such because of all the "OMG 2her only" hollywood hype and hate.

After the rather unsatisfieing End everything is back to normal, and I dont really want to do any Sidequests right now because it feels cheapish.Also weird that Most People dont lick my ass now that I saved the world and such.Oh Well.

I should have waited with ending the Main quest until i was lvl 50 or something.Than I´d at least feel as if I played through the whole game.

And Yes, the Last part was rather big, but still very unsatisfieing for me.

Alduin itself was Crappy easy to fight against compared to what came before(You know, the Temple before you enter Sovngarde, there were like 3 Dragons and 15 Draugr Deathlords).

Also I want everyone to lick my Ass and Crown me High king of Skyrim but NO!The Dragonborn, Savior of the World, defeater of Alduin, Arch-mage and Guild master of the Thieves Guild, Renown Bard AND Chuck norris of Tamriel gets mere attention from Guards, all the others dont seem to recognize it.I should drown in bitches, but iam not.

@Gorath: Yeah, I see it that way, too, and thats what i did.made a Hell lot of Sidequests, but at lvl 33 with most things accomplished I wanted to accomplish and some more, I thought its time to end the Main Quest.And after this one, the air is out for me.It just feels like it doesnt make much sense now to level up and play at all.

Some people aren't meant for sandboxes.  That's why there are linear themeparks.
Personally I enjoy both for what they offer.  I enjoyed Dragon Age 2.  Why?  Because it was like watching an interactive movie.  I liked the characters and wanted to see what happened next.  Same with Witcher 2.  I enjoy the TES series because I can completely nerd out and explore my own little mini-world of fantasy nerddom.  Eventually I may get around to the "main quest" but it usually takes a long time.  I think it was around the 5th month or so in morrowind before I seriously tackled it.  lol

Whole quest is underground (and gigantic) Dwemer ruins. Only thing I couldn't explain was how the fuck a giant went into the Black reach, I mean there are only 2 ways to get there 1 from ruins then the elevator, but who couldn't possibly fit into any of these, hm probably he got there when he was a kid...also, never seen a female giant...all the things that makes you go hmmmm....

P.S. about the mod - if you don't like preset 1 (sharpening effect) just switch to preset 2. i'm using preset 1 on these screens. The mod makes the game darker (realistically imo) so you might want to tone your brightness up a bit. Also , use "pause break" to switch it off/on during the game.

Protip: Fire against Frost, Frost against Thunder and Thunder against fire.Use Fire against All types of Undead and especially Draugr.

If the Dragon breathes Fire, use Thunder, if it breathes Frost, use fire, you know where this is going.


It actually works, and pretty well.

/edit: Also, against bandits and such, use Fireballs if you have no Companions.They do AoE damage, are cheap in mana and do good damage.Overall, Fire is the best type of destruction magic because all the Firespells are relatively cheap with good damage + Fire is the best against Draugr which you fight very often.

I think the problem with magic is that the spell damage doesn't scale up with the destruction skill as far as I know like weapon damage does with 1h/2h/smithing skill. You have to find stronger spells to do more damage and the spell selection isn't big, especially without the spellmaking of earlier TES games. At least in the end game that might become a problem.

Well, its easy to see if you acknowledge that all the Draugr mages cast Frost spells like Frostbite and Frost atronach ONLY.

Woah, slow down.Ofc Damage doesnt scale up, that would make magic ridiculous OP!

The Higher Level you get, the More Spells you can cast in a Row.Combined with dual Casting and Dualcasting Stagger Destruction magic kills anyone.

My Recipe for winning every battle: Spam Dual casted Fireballs at hardest enemy, stagger him and kill all weaker enemies around him(Cause of AoE)until he is dead.

Works fine.

If you think about it that a Dual cast Fireball does at least 100 damage+AoE on other Enemies that goes pretty well if you specialized in beeing a mage.And the next level, Incinerate does 90 Damage even, although i really prefer Fireballs due to AoE and constant stagger because of the High number I can spam at Enemies.

There was a TES in hammerfell?Wheres this game, tell me!


btw: Next I demand an Elder scrolls game with all Tamriel, would be fine if they just redid all the regions and quests they already have from the earlier TES games(You know, Morrowind in new graphics!Like a Boss!).

So you would basically have a Mainquest for each Province.

Would take long, but not too long since they already have the Questlines and concepts.

Magic is already OP.


And to the TES in Hammerfell.

Just pretend its red frost.

@Daggerfall/whatever: Sounds good, but I couldnt play it today without my Eyes bleeding and my Brain melting.

That´s why I´d wish all the TES Games were combined in a new TES with new Graphics and such.I would pay 100 Bucks for that.

Best TES games (including games as well that i haven't played a.ka only based on reviews/thoughts/gameplay videos/assumptions).

1: Morrowind
2: Skyrim
3: Oblivion
4: Redguard
5: Daggerfall
6: Arena
7: Battlespire

OP is conjuration, once you get 100 in it and ability to raise two Dremora Lords (one is more than enough).

@Berenger

In Daggerfall you can be a drunk werewolf riding on a flying horse (levitation). Beat that, punk!
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

You can just as well be able to fly dragons and include epic epic Elsweyr and Akavir as well.

Doesn't matter. Looks shit as hell considering what type of game it is (Minecraft ok because it got it's own style) and then add the fact that i would puke and my eyes would bleed if i played this game. Even thouh it's F2P now.

Oh well, if i want good TES action i go to Morrowind or keep playing Skyrim. (too tired of Oblivion).

That Khajiit outside Whiterun selling stuff. When he spoke about Elsweyr his land.

Dammit so sweet.

Sanddunes..deserts...tropical jungles and ANCIENT CITIES SWALLOWED WHOLE BY SAND!

That's fucking epic Medieval Indiana Jones action right there! Imagine adventuring into those cities after artifacts and visiting beaches with palm trees and going into creepy tropical jungles with god knows whats inside and sweet sweet sun.


Not like 24/7 rain and just green green forests and trees and forests like oblivion. Or snow and snow and snow and snow and snow and a mountain here and there like Skyrim (even though it's good).

I want 1 TES game in Elsweyr now! And after that in Akavir. If you find the book ''Mysterious Akavir'' ingame. Read it. It's fucking amazing how cool it sounds with it all. Animalistic Gods, half serpent half man races, monkey-ish races - demons - Tiger Empire.

If there is one awesome thing about cRPG its the fact that it added a new god into the Greek Mythology: Panagiotos (know as Panos ofc), protector of all Shepherds and their goats.  :wink:


Talos is like Panos: banned & doomed to be forgotten but we won't let it happen. Free Talos ! Remember Panos !

Elseweyr would be nice, too.

But, overall, I would find it nice if there was any TES game with a real forest now.

You know, in Oblivion AND in Skyrim, the "Forests" are about 10 Trees loosely standing together(In a Distance of at least 10 metres).That scuks, i want really deep forests and such, but naaaaaah Devs are too lazy, just like chadz and his team.They should actually team up doing nothing.

Doubt any mods will interest me, they probably wont break free from the boring quest structure 'retrieve this in that dungeon'. All the dungeon crawling has kinda ruined the game for me. I still want to explore the leveling system and finish the main story, but everytime I get into a dungeon and fight the same enemy for half an hour in different rooms. I get kinda bored.

Also, it's way too hard to sell of stuff. My house is filled to the brim with all this shit I need to sell, but shops have so little money, and I'll never get to 50 speech when I can sell two items and they are out of cash. Which as a result doesn't give me enough cash to train up my speech skill.

And no, I'm not the type who likes to sell stuff for 700 gold, wait 48 hours and do it again for a few hours.

You guys dont play text-based anymore???  They are so fun, imagination actually gets used instead of borrowing off someone else's, and many of the older ones had great stories and a lot of funny wit.

Pure text based? Nah, never was into those.

However, there is a wonderful game called Space rangers. It mixes a lot of aspects, from things you'd like to see in a space adventure, like economy ( amazing dynamics for an economy I tell you ), fights, you can do anything as you please.

Certain missions you can take from planets however, will be text-based adventures with narration.
Kinda hard to describe, but it's a wonderful mix. The sequel, called Rise of the Dominators even has a basic RTS aspect into it, in certain missions.

I liked the textquests this game has, it was maybe the most unique experience for me, and, a big surprise.

How is this related to Skyrim/TES? I don't know.  :mrgreen:

Here are some sites.  You can find the earliest TES games, also great text based ones like simon the sorceror, alice in wonderland (amiga version) and a lot of funny ones, the old gold box AD&D games which are still crazy fun, arcade games like Commander Keen series which are fun for an afternoon, and also a lot of pretty solid games from the early to late 1990s like Doom and others.

For fucks sake! It's not WEABOOO!!!!!1111 Besides, notice only Blades seem to be using the Akavir Katana and Akaviri Dai Katana.

The serpent race, Tiger race and demons are most likely not using katanas lol.

And what do you got against apes? You...racist!

Also notice those supposedly Undead Akavir soldiers at Pale Pass in Lolblivion? They had a human form. Skeletons that is. They didn't look animalistic at all. And Men used to live in Akavir long time ago but the Serpents ate them up lol.

I think they should stick with Tamriel.There is still enough to see there.


Oh and those freaking Text based RPGs dont work on 64-bit windows :( Sadface.

No i want Akavir!!! And Elsweyr! And fuck Text Based RPGs lol. I don't want to roleplay with words only!


Also ''Tsaesci'' ones who invaded Cyroderp and ones u saw ghosts using Katanas were the Half Snake Half Man race. So not every race uses katana! Tiger Race doesn't. Apes doesn't and Demons doesn't.

You can run any older game ona  new computer using this dos emulator.

You can run any game on it and it works perfectly.  And you can change the emulator's represented computer speed for the game with f11 and f12 keys.

Just download all the games you get into c:\games\ (create folder)
then when you run dosbox you type:

mount h: c:\games\"folder_name_of_game"\
h:
"game_execute_file"  (so for example it might be arena.bat or arena.exe, just type "arena")

Imagine entering those Akavir lands. No humans or elfs besides you. Adventuring into those lands. Would've been an epic story imo.

Tang Mo is about the only race i can imagine you playing with.

Fuck you! Don't diss Akavir you fkin elf!

Also i don't care...i'm tired of über green stuff and trees and trees and grass and all that shit.

I want desert i want rocky mountains a'la Morrowind and moar Elsweyr! Naow!

Dragons are akaviri race...
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: LordBerenger on November 22, 2011, 07:37:28 pm
Tang Mo is about the only race i can imagine you playing with.

Actually if possible...i would've played as ''Kamal'' or Snow Hell demon race if you will lol. And then perhaps the Ka Po' Tun.


Dragons are akaviri race...

They're more servants and mounts to the Tsaesci and Ka Po' Tun from reading the books.

Quoted from book.

''After the Serpent people ate the men, they tried to eat the dragons. They managed to make the red dragons slaves, but the black dragons fled to Ka Po' Tun. A great battle was fought, and it left both the cats and the snakes weak, and the dragons extinct. Since then, the cats have always tried to become dragons.

Tosh Raka is the first and only so far to have accomplished this. Covered in orange and black scales, he is the largest dragon on Nirn, and it's believed that his eventual goal is to invade Tamriel
''

So perhaps they were a race but not anymore. And it sounds creepy that the biggest dragon on their planet (Nirn) resides in Akavir.

Would've been such a great story lol.

Just play the first one on dos emulator "Arena:Elder Scrolls"  - you go to every single province of the empire in that one and cana ctually go see Black Marsh and Morrowind lands as well.

Have you ever tried Arena or Daggerfall? They are a fuckload to play: the controls are extremely awkward, to say the least, not to mention the EMPTINESS that is the main filler in those games; they have quite a bit less to do and to see than in later games, and they have about ten times the area, if I remember correctly. So thanks but no thanks, those two gave me a headache while playing. It even took me several hours to get out of the first effing dungeon at the beginning of DF, though I had hundreds of playing hours from Morrowind and Oblivion :P .I rather stick with my Skyrim with maxed-out graphics for the time being.

Dwemer armor is epic now, especially with the helmet. The old styles of it jumped from cartoony anime robot to just blah.

I've got a Breton Mage specializing in alteration and destruction, a Dunmer sword/shield/light armor (no magic at all), A khajit assassin with a pair of scimitars, a heavy armor conjurer Imperial with a warhammer, and a mace wielding Nord Stendarrian that uses restoration and illusion, and is a hell of a smith (but only enchants "holy" weapons).

I've done the college quests and part of the main with the mage ; the stormcloak quests and most of the main with the dunmer, the thief/black hand quests with the khajit ; the imperial and companion quests with the Imperial conjurer ; I've been just wandering around emptying every barrow I could find with the Stendarrian, and started the thief quests with him.

I like variety :).

I believe it's ~ to activate/open up the command.

And then i believe it's...player.setav ''the name of the skill you want'' and then the number you want it to be raised to.

So for example. We want to take sneak to 100.

Player.setav sneak 100

I believe it's setav...could be forceav though. Forgot lol. Try both. If it fucks up just have it saved prior to when you typed it in.

Actually...the old guy who's a member of Dark Brotherhood says he despises all the sneaking and daggers from behind or bows from afar and such.

He prefers to just rape the targets and if anyone is around em with his crazy Destruction spells lol. If it fails he just runs away. And (mini spoiler i suppose...nothing really major just some info)

So imo mage is the most flexible class. Can basically enter any faction without ''breaking RP''.

Except perhaps Thiefs guild. But if you got good alteration you can use Invisibility spells and Open lock spells and such.

Though i wish i could use the Dark Brotherhood Hood with Cowl but it increases Bows dmg i believe with 20% while the other without cowl increases sneak. Suits me better without Cowl though the cowl looks so cool. Aaagh decisions decisions =/

SPOILERS BELOW THIEVES GUILD QUESTLINE

You guys remember that quest in the thieves guild where you go with Mercer to rendezvous with Karliah inside ruins of some sort? That was the single dumbest fight arrangement I recall ever seeing.

*arrival at the site*
Me: Alright! We're here.
Mercer: Yeah, this reminds me of something. Last time we went to these ruins with a partner of mine to meet her we got ambushed, he died, I barely got out alive, can you believe it? Haha!
Me: ... Right, okay, so lets wait outside, she cant sit in there forever, right? We will ambush her when she comes out.
Mercer: What? Oh hell no, we're going in, buddy.
Me: What?
Mercer: Oh by the way, she's an expert marksman too.
Me: You're an id.....
Mercer: OKAY! HERE WE GO! Are you ready to rumble? 3, 2....
Me: WAIT. At least let Lydia come along so it's 3v1 in the worst case scenario.
Mercer: Dude, no. We do it by yourselves, horses and women wait outside.
Me: ......

I hate when a game allegedly gives you the freedom of action (which it doesnt, vide immortal quest npcs) and then just takes it away when needed, because its a fucking scripted quest. Such a dumb game. Good looking unfortunately. Just like many women. Hm.

You don't play TES games to get levels, since there is no-one to compare yourself to. You play them to uncover story-lines and plots, and have fun with a thief/mage/archer/whatever. Nothing about these games is a grind. You may push yourself to complete the main quest quickly, but that's about choice, not keeping up with someone.

Got the game yesterday, bored, think i will go abck to Morrowind.  Oblivion and Skyrim catered way too much console arcade style playing.  I mean really you regenerate all your health back in a couple minutes just standing around at any level without perks, wtf.  Fast travel is stupid, but since you can't run fast like in Morrowind with boots of speed to balance how ridiculously boring it is running around just to get somewhere, no real alterantive.  What happened to needing to get some sleep, eat, cast healing, or drink healing potion.  You can OR just stand in place for 1 minute - so fucking arcadeish.  Also, blocking agaisnt a 2her with 2her he swings left and I block up, wtf, I can't even control the direction of my block!!

The graphics are better, but finding a lot more difficult to get immersed like I did right away in morrowind.  Mostly feels like a prettied up dungeon crawl and I would ratehr play Saint's Row 3, cRPG, or some older game.

Hai, I'm Kesh.  I'm so hipster cool.  I talk about nostaligic games like I'm the only one that's played them or appreciates them in a world full of modernists.  I refuse to like newer games because they removed tedium yet in my hipster way I will in the same sentance talk about how I abused broken mechanics in the older game to get around that same tedium *cough speedbootsofspeedfastrunning cough*.

 :rolleyes:

They were a normal quest item that you got early in the game at the cost of being half blind.  Mostly Oblivion and Skyrim feel like arcade-like console syle games (which is I think is the intent) that don't at all appeal to me. 

Even checking your equipment/skills/etc. is 4x as labor intensive as just hitting one screen in Morrowind and being able to acces your spells, items, map, and skills in one page (but it looks so cool graphically, lol), and is far more geared toward a console style of play.  The automatic healing system adds to this feeling, also, special powers unlocked at each level now with perks and having power strikes and special attacks (kind of like mortal combat or street fighters).  Then you can't craft your own spells anymore to your original design and yes, it all feels like a graphically enhanced but gameplay inferior version of Morrowind that has devolved into a cosnole game.

SPOILERS BELOW THIEVES GUILD QUESTLINE

You guys remember that quest in the thieves guild where you go with Mercer to rendezvous with Karliah inside ruins of some sort? That was the single dumbest fight arrangement I recall ever seeing.

*arrival at the site*
Me: Alright! We're here.
Mercer: Yeah, this reminds me of something. Last time we went to these ruins with a partner of mine to meet her we got ambushed, he died, I barely got out alive, can you believe it? Haha!
Me: ... Right, okay, so lets wait outside, she cant sit in there forever, right? We will ambush her when she comes out.
Mercer: What? Oh hell no, we're going in, buddy.
Me: What?
Mercer: Oh by the way, she's an expert marksman too.
Me: You're an id.....
Mercer: OKAY! HERE WE GO! Are you ready to rumble? 3, 2....
Me: WAIT. At least let Lydia come along so it's 3v1 in the worst case scenario.
Mercer: Dude, no. We do it by yourselves, horses and women wait outside.
Me: ......

I hate when a game allegedly gives you the freedom of action (which it doesnt, vide immortal quest npcs) and then just takes it away when needed, because its a fucking scripted quest. Such a dumb game. Good looking unfortunately. Just like many women. Hm.

Wait, I just played through that. Frankly... did you listen to anything being said? There's a good reason why Mercer wanted to do things the way he did.

To get me killed and what else? The point is that at the beginning of the quest my character had no idea about Mercer being evil and stuff and regardless had zero incentive to turn off the brain for the sake of accompanying into a death trap.

To use you as a meat shield for the first arrow. As Karliah says, fighting Mercer would have been a death sentence for her. All Mercer wanted was the for the PC to get hit and then die, which was a reasonable assumption seeing as Karliah is a master marksman.

Your character had no idea about Mercer being evil, exactly. But he is your leader. So what exactly are you complaining about? If you don't like the options he gives, you don't have to do the quest. No one is forcing you to accompany him into a death trap.

I finished that part last night and I have to say I didn't really mind the linearity that it forced on you there although I did feel like I was pointlessly there when I would be sneaking along, fire a single arrow into a Draugr and he'd just scream something, charge in, wipe out an entire room while i'm still coming round the corner sneaking only to find everything dead and him standing there shrugging his shoulders saying something about it not being a fight, but an execution. I just kept telling myself that I was moral support, standing by the sidelines cheering although I did think something was up when he said "you lead", him being the leader of the Thieves Guild and all.

I quite enjoyed that quest line to be honest and the linearity is needed in a way because otherwise you're just going to end up running in circles really not knowing what you're supposed to be doing, gamers can be stupid at times and some need guidance, for me, it didn't detract at all, although killing Mercer was a little bit disappointing because he just kept turning invisible and running away each time I shouted at him and shot him while he was on the floor.

The major thing I don't quite understand with the game is that everyone is supposed to be religious and have some sort of afterlife, originally I was going to the Nordic place (Svar something), then I became a werewolf and i'm hunting with some guy, now i've sold my soul to serve something in life and death, therefore does that make me imortal because there will be some lawsuit over where I will spend my afterlife..?

This doesnt explain :

1. Why Lydia can't come.
2. The actual moment of ambush. Mercer couldnt really predict that I. it's going to be the player who gets shot and II, that Karliah instead of just fucking shooting Mercer from cover (she had just one arrow or wtf?) decides to start making speeches and letting him live.

It's just a really poorly arranged quest and it's not the only one. There isn't a single quest in this game aside from assasinating the emperor (which will be memorable for me only due to my own invention of playing a Hitman minigame) that will be remembered by me, it's all just disguised [get there, kill x, get loot, come back.
Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

1. Because he doesn't need Lydia, and he probably doesn't want anyone else around to be potentially turned against him.
2. Of course he could predict that it's the player who gets shot - he very specifically asks the player to lead for that reason. And as the player sees, Mercer has closed in on Karliah.. and says "do you honestly think you can shoot me before I kill you?" or something along those lines...

I can understand where Kesh is coming from with this game. The elder scrolls to me has been about freedom to role-play the hero for that particular setting and making steady progression or deciding I want to break the game mechanics and abuse x5 stat raises and alchemy/enchanting/spellmaking, or do both.

As it stands right now they've polished the exterior to a shine, when it's not glitching out, and removed everything under the hood while setting up one scripted event per town you visit as you enter the front gates. As far as I can tell your character runs off of different underlying mechanics then the rest of the NPCs unlike Morrowind where each one had their own level, stats and skills to match your own. I can't finish the game, pin-point the over-arching key elements, and start a new character and finish the game in 10 minutes by fulfilling certain key story requirements.

In general the game just went from a sandbox to explore to an amusement park where you have to wait 40 minutes minimum for each ride, even the fucking merry-go round.

The Elven armour makes me shudder. Really don't like it. Probably would look better if you could dye it. I only wore it because it was the next step up in armour and I'm a wood elf. I quite liked glass armour and the nightingale armour. But now I have this:

Boooooring. Seriously at Light Armored Peeps. Just get Heavy Armor instead.

And then get 70 Heavy Armor and choose the Perk that makes your armor weightless and doesn't give you any speed penalties.

Problem solved. Daedric Armor is waaaay cooler. Praise be to the 17 Daedric Princes! I love Morag Bal btw :D

There's too many Dagger Display Cases lol. After i put the Mehrunes Razor in 1 i just put random usual daedric daggers in the rest.

But i love the city the most that's why i got the house :P It's not boring Rohan-ish Whiterun crap nor dark Dawnstar city or weird Solitude city.

It's epic dwemer-ish big cool buildings made out of stone. And deep underground places and zomg the epic architecture. Best city ingame imo.

And for the house there's like 3-4 Dagger Display Cases if i'm not mistaken. 2 Weapon Racks i believe and 4 thingies where you put your shield and maximum 2 weapons at.

Plus all the other stuff inside as well. That house + marry Aela the goddess. To sweet.

Has anyone found Umbra yet?

Let us see... There is M'aiq the Liar (Whose forefathers are named M'aiq, as well, over the course of 200 years), and there is The Lusty Argonian Maid Volume Two (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Lusty_Argonian_Maid).

How can they not have Umbra!? Madness, I say!

Also, Skyrim has a lot more detailed Dwemer history and ruins, which is awesome.

My guess for their disappearance is that they tempered with The Elder Scroll, and like Alduin or Grey Fox, the entire race got either wiped out of the history or pushed further into the future with or without their own will.

Yeah not sure you get actual Akaviri places/camps/caves and such with the cool Apes, Tiger Empire, Demons or Half Snake/Half Human races in Akavir.

Stop fucking around Nigga.

Akaviri fucking sucks, there is little Information about it while Tamriel already has a well thought out history etc.

making Akaviri would be totally pointless now, because basically they would need to invent a big new part in the lore and such.

Got some fkin weird bug using tlc when fighting a dragon. It was pretty epic lol.

I was walking up towards the dragon because i had no ranged weaponry or magic X_X

So after a minute of fighting in the air it went down towards the ground a bit and then. It fkin started to spin around in big circles like a fkin tornado lol. And right into the ground. Tried turn off tlc but that shit just got ugh weird. Spinning round and round and round and round.

"It's not a bug, it's a fix. Dragons are too heavy to fly using wings only, so they have to use jet propulsion. And jet exhaust should be directed backwards. It all makes sense now."

That guy's pretty funny but I think he went a little too easy on the game. I had high expectations when I first heard of the release 8 or so months ago, then I had no expectations a month later, then I had realistic expectations that it'll be fun but I'll probably be left wanting things done differently (nerdy "traditional" rpg way, number crunching, expecting having to hit and be hit by someone 1-3 max, etc.) and then I was expectorating.

Well with ranged you can "bug" enemies and kill them easy but not with melee, I had one particular dragon (Frost one hate em) that when I was hiding behind walls when he was making frost shouts he started moving to find me so he could hit me and sometimes he did. I was quite surprised it's not something you see in other games (Yet) but yes if you just went on running and hit him from far and rinse repeat everything is quite easy.

Pfft, the dwemer ruins are the shittiest part of the game anyway :/ Keep legolas away!
Maybe you ought to do some google search on what Dwemers are before trying to make snide remarks such as "Dwemer = Elven = Legolas". (In the end, you've only made one out of yourself)

Dwarves = Dwemer = Deep Elves = Technologically Advanced Elves =/= sissy agile skinny elves shooting arrows.

They make automatons to do the martial tasks, and they have crossbows instead of bows mounted on those automatons.
Plus they've got manly beards.

I've never had a liking for elves, but Dwemer, on the other hand, is awesome and mysterious.

I have to say that I dislike the Dwemer more than any other race due to their annoying machines. Can't say I've ever liked having a race that is "more technologically advanced" in any game I have ever played, especially considering these ones were wiped out and are still far surpassing anyone else in the present day. At the same time, their armour is pretty crap considering their technology and their machines really aren't anything special. I know you're supposed to be something particularly fantastic but I watched Vilkas take down one of the giant ones with his basic equipment.
On a side note, for a supposed race of the technologically advanced, they didn't have much common sense... Who puts a massive metal creature that can't bend down in a small room with only one small door and thinks "yeah, that'll keep my treasure safe." when you can just walk out of the room and shoot it's legs through the doorway..?

I believe half the issues you have with Dwemer are more on the game development's page than the lore I focused (and am more interested) on.

If you ever read the books in Skyrim, it tells you that the Dwemer metal is smelted to last, not for the sole purpose of war. While the armors and weapons are only forged for practicality, since the Dwemer smiths don't take their work very seriously (an assumption made by Calcelmo in one of the three books he wrote) and they have their automatons do the fighting, the armors and weapons that Dwemer themselves wear were rather primative in comparison to all their other inventions.

Besides, I don't see the reason for your tone with Vilkas killing a Dwemer Centurion; a giant killing a dragon with ease is just as absurd as how Bethesda decided to balance the game.

Companions or henchmen are silly in every game not just in Skyrim.

I mean seriously, that bard kiddo I've picked up in Riverwood would shit his pants in front of that cave and wouldn't stand a chance against Draughr...

And Dwemer are awesome, they give ES a little bit of steampunk flavour, which is always plus.

My point exactly, the NPC's scream in fear at them and then proceed to desimate the things which are all things to do with the development, I have little interest in the lore, I should have stated that it was mainly the implementation of these things that I found ridiculous therefore leading me to dislike the Dwemer related areas/creations rather than the lore behind them. As much as your original post was about the Dwemer lore, the post was relevant in terms of the primary subject.
Sadly I have little interest in reading the lore as I find it rather dull so you'd always be able to beat me down in regards to that but once again looping back to the Giant and Dragon, the Dragons don't do nearly as much as damage as the Giants do so I am not really surprised, game mechanics wise, that that is possible.

I'm not sure I really want to go all technical/logical/lore-ical or anything about this because at the end of the day it's just a game and as much as I wander through places and think "wtf, what is the point in that" I will still kill it and steal everything from it's body without a second thought. As much as lore is nice for some people it just bogs games down for me if I am honest so you really won't get an intelligent "lore conversation" out of me.

I've been considering playing single player Warband again if I wanted terrible AI combat and shitty randomized loot. At least your party members actually have some back story and sometimes even just say "fuck you" and leave.

Edit: I will say it has been enjoyable meandering down roads with a new character and actually running into NPCs who are also traveling. I think on my first character I spent too much time "climbing" mountains or rather running and jumping at them at 45 degree angles.

What I don't understand is this game is clearly rated "M" but it feels like it was designed so the mentally handicapped and kids could play it. I understand streamlining to appeal to a wider audience but I also like wearing mismatched pauldrons.

It's not you at fault, friend, it is me, for this is a M&B mod forum where action triumphs story. And yes, while the game itself supposedly features a degree of realism, Skyrim most certainly still have some aspects regarding the dungeon designs and balancing to improve.

But I tend to overlook those things and suck myself into the lore. To each his own, I suppose, apologies if I sounded harsh earlier.

Well, I had such gloves once, and you can disenchant them.

Meaning with 100 in enchanting and a full tree with a Black soul gem or a grand one you could get Gloves with even more + barehanded damage.

Title: Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Post by: Tennenoth on December 14, 2011, 05:23:01 pm
Been doing some testing like the sad twat I am but I can't quite work out the "maximum stats" for weapons and armour because it's technically viable to get 100 alchemy, 100 enchanting, 100 smithing then creating a 4 set of +25% alchemy equipment, going to alchemy and creating enchanting increase potions, and repeat with a 4 set of +something alchemy.

Does anyone know what the hardcap for this is because it's bugging me since I have low alchemy because I didn't realise (until I found an enchanting increase potion) that it was viable to do that. Surely equipment can have a maximum set of stats but my google skills are failing me.

Anyone been as bad as me and actually thought about it?

EDIT: Google has worked: http://www.gamefront.com/skyrim-best-possible-equipment-guide/
It appears that you can't get beyond a 29% increase so that would therefore be the hard cap.

Also, one of the comments I notice said try and obtain a falmar helmet because apparently it can be worn with a circlet which would allow you double the head enchantment for an increase in alchemy by 58% instead of 29%.

Not sure if anyone really wanted to know this but most people will know i'm a twat for working out "how to be the best minus personal skill".

I have recently been experimenting on my illusion mage, by trying to cultivate a chicken uprising using rage spells.

Also ive tried summoning them back to life afterwards with an extra 100 health points.....so far my results are......tasty.

Those Skyrim Guards have nothing on us cRPG Guards... Don't know an injury from a minor inconvenience!

On a more gameplay related note, been looking at the equipment max's and it appears that there are some hard caps but that may just be superficial due to having only the ability to go so high with enchanting and alchemy and therefore not able to increase the smithing any higher than already possible. As far as I know, it does give a significant increase on just having +100% and 100 smithing skill but I really haven't worked much past that since i've wanted to play more than just working things out.

Also, someone somewhere posted something about the beginnings on a Skryim Multiplayer mod, I shall see if I can dig up a link, unless it was posted here and i'm going insane.

EDIT: Got it, PC Gamer says this on it:

http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/12/16/skyrim-online-adds-multiplayer-not-quite-ready-for-primetime/?ns_campaign=article-feed&ns_mchannel=ref&ns_source=steam&ns_linkname=0&ns_fee=0

Another link from some other people with more information and a video:

www.thegameeffect.com/news/skyrim-multiplayer-mod-in-alpha-right-now

Download links from Skryim Nexus:

http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3592

Currently really basic but it's one that everyone will be watching no doubt, i'm really hoping that it works and we'll be able to play through the campaign with some friends, it's what the series has always been missing in my opinion, whether or not you want to solo it, there's always that nagging that says "wouldn't this be cool if I could exchange that poor AI for someone real who knows not to charge in when i'm sneaking".

There was a multiplayer mod of the same nature for Oblivion, i.e you could enter eachothers game, chat etc but not much else, so let's see if this one will actually progress from this point. If it does and it's possible, it's going to be a long time before a real multiplayer experience is available, if he doesn't give up on it before he reaches that point of course.

Fingers crossed, but I wont be waiting for this one in excitement lol.

Hehe, of course there are worse, I wasn't in a full body cast and such like! :P I have a "bullet hole" in my shoulder as well where they jammed a metal rod through it to make sure my shoulder knitted itself back together properly but enough about scars, literal war wounds are much more impressive and some things leave little physical damage but can nearly kill you.

Leesin - Well, he's being heralded at the moment and I would assume he would continue on for a little bit at the very least, you never know, he could pull a chadz and go on for years. I hope he does because as much as Vilkas chatting up random women is funny, it gets boring after the twentieth time of him giving my position away and charging in blindly causing 10 draugr to wish to eat him.

After the community wanting mounted combat and spears for years upon years, it would be a cunts trick if they made these things, released an epic video of them and never released them to the public, it wouldn't look good on them.

Indeed. I want my god damn spears back. I was so disappointed when they took out the polearms in Oblivion. They were my primary weapons in Morrowind. :(

Hell, with the creation kit out, I don't even care if they add them in the vanilla game, just let me mod them in. I've spent the last 2 days messing around with the creation kit already. It's pretty similar to the ones for Morrowind and Oblivion, which I did a fair bit of modding for.

Why the hell did they not just do this before the game was released? There are so many good ideas in that and really nice features that would have been great to have on release. If they've got that much creativity in a team, and that was just one weeks worth of work, I would love to see what an extended period of more free creativity could produce.

The next generation will likely hold PCs back even more. Console-type games (mostly action games or similar) usually don't need much RAM, and thus consoles are designed with uber CPU, good GPU and tiny RAM. The ps3 for example can still compete CPU-wise with your current average gamer rig (mostly due to the in-order design of the CELL), but the graphics are only circa 2005 high end-like, and the sum (main + graphics) of the primary memory is only 512Mb !

Designers clearly pushed the imbalance too far this time. Many current-gen console games suffer lags and shit, which afaik never happened in the recent past.

Haven't found my self really thinking about my choices in-game for a long time but in TW2 I truly sit and ponder over each.

In Skyrim you can serve 800 different divinities and people and it doesn't make a difference, meh.

Though better than Oblivion I will definitely agree that Skyrim despite the beautiful, vibrant world (and Nords :)) and occasional glimpse of wit was a disappointment in regards to what is most important in a true RPG; story, characters, character development and meaningful player choices.
The dialogue is decently written compared to the embarrasing baby dialogue from its predecessor (a dev even admitted many of them were affected by having little kids at the time of production) but not impressive compared to the mainstay of PC RPGs like (some of) the Ultima games, Kotor, Witcher, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, (some of) the Gothic games, even NWN, and especially Planescape:Torment, Baldur's Gate and the Fallout series (minus F3 of course which following above criteria is almost as bad as Oblivion).

Fallout:New Vegas showed that the open world concept can still have a well-written, completely dynamic story, intelligent branching dialogue, player choice driven questlines and game world, interesting characters, interesting quests, humor, lore accuracy, consistency - depth. FNV even has an excellent combat system, if you don't mind FPS.

It's a shame as Bethesda has some good writers of in-game lore books - and they did make Morrowind(!) - but seems to have been on the wrong track ever since, even with the few positive backtracks.

Truth. New Vegas just had such a superior main questline. In Skyrim, I had a blast just exploring and going through random dungeons, but every time I decided to do the main quest I just got pissed off at it (fucking hate Delphine).
(click to show/hide)

And none of their games since have had the depth of world that Morrowind did. Morrowind had some deep politics and culture, Oblivion was just weak in this regard. Skyrim definitely did better, but still nothing like what Morrowind had.

And they removed the magic creation in Skyrim.  :| The two classes I played in Morrowind were a Spear/Xbow hybrid and Alteration/Conjuration/Destruction mage, both of which were removed. (Or in the case of the mage, changed dramatically) My mage had something on the order of 200 custom spells, took so damn long to find anything in my spellbook.  :lol:

What?

I agree that combat in Skyrim is crappy but in Witcher 2 is plain horrible. I mean, in that game all you have to do is to roll around and when you get your chance hit the opponent and keep doing so until he drops dead (just like in Diablo games lol).

You should try playing first Witcher, far better game than it's successor.

You should read Witcher books, the greatest fantasy story ever written, much better than games. I can't understand why these books aren't more popular than Song of Ice and Fire from which is so much superior. I hope one day Peter Jackson or someone like that will make film based on Witcher story. Better than movie which was made in Poland  :rolleyes:

You should try playing first Witcher, far better game than it's successor.

The Witcher 2 was better designed from a variety standpoint though. The Witcher was so repetitive it was painful. It's a bloody long game, and most of the quests take FAR longer to complete than they really should. From that point of view Witcher 2 was far more interesting.

I also found the Witcher 2's combat smoother also and I think that made it more enjoyable as well. I'm personally a bigger fan of the second one.

I mean real strippers.

You know that ones that pull off ALL their clothes and rub their pussy into their customers face for money in a shabby club that hasn´t seen cleaning in Decades.

Those that become strippers because they are too proud to become whores but too stupid too become anything else.

What?

I agree that combat in Skyrim is crappy but in Witcher 2 is plain horrible. I mean, in that game all you have to do is to roll around and when you get your chance hit the opponent and keep doing so until he drops dead (just like in Diablo games lol).

You should try playing first Witcher, far better game than it's successor.

Wow. When I played The Witcher I tought it was impossible to make a worse combat system. Just clickclickclickclickclick then clickclickclickclickclickclickclick (Cicero ftw). The interface was horrible too.

That's one way to play it. But if you don't want an incredibly gay experience, don't do it. It was entirely possible to play Witcher 2 in a way that was both challenging and looked nice. It had twitch-ripostes and if you always hit the correct timing you could go through enemies smoothly in one combo.

They overhauled the combat in patch 2.0, though, so it should be even better now. No more being unable to block because you don't have energy etc.

That looks pretty cool, here is another total conversion, most probably know about it already though.

They just released an early build with the middle earth landscape for oblivion and now they are porting to skyrim.

It's fucking huge, here is a pic that shows how much bigger it is: http://www.moddb.com/mods/merp-middle-earth-roleplaying-mod/images/cyrodiil-tamriel-oblivion-merp-skyrim-merp#imagebox

Oh shit...If that is ever going to be finished(Which I highly doubt because it´s too ambitioned, it will probably be Thrown out when the map is halfway ready and some of the story is finished and then be abandoned), it is going to be the best fucking thing ever.

In case you mean MERP, the map is already finished, download the oblivion alpha and go explore it, there already are some NPCs in Bree.

Concerning the MERP talk: the mod has been on developpement for a shitton of time, I doubt it would die now. Remember that video about adding MnB combat to Oblivion? Well the guy who's doing that is part of the MERP, I'll let you figure the rest out.
