The Skyrim Dead Is Dead Thread VI : V - Skyrim

» Fri May 04, 2012 10:46 pm

I'll look it over. But all I really want is a mod that makes the Dragons (and only them) tough. I'm running quite a few mods that alter the factions so I might end up with conflicts.

I found another called Mighty Dragons Revolution. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13423
Along with this. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=12077
I am going to remove DD and Install these. I really like the MDR one. The Dragons look more interesting. They are way more powerful and have special powers, like Conjuration.

I am not happy with how Femten is working out. Her character just doesn't feel right. After adjusting the Deadly Dragons mod, and now installing this new one, plus the added tougher named NPCs mod. It feels kind of dirty. Like I have used a console command to get her where she is now.

I still have the save at the Guardian stones. I may revert to that, or start anew. I haven't decided. Usually when a character or playthrough looses it's luster, I will just start a new. But I feel that Femten needs to tell something. I just don't know what it is.

Hmmm. I will stew on this.

How could one not love Skyrim?

How, indeed.

I can't help but think of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gia_YZqIIvA&feature=related reading about Malik.

I know that feeling all too well. I'm constantly experimenting with build configurations, but to do so they need to have certain perks in place or the test isn't valid; so, to save time I console them up to a certain level and lay things out so I can see how they fare. Since I didn't 'work' for the levels it feels 'off' when I play them, so they inevitably get deleted after a short while.

If you like the concept, but not the build, I'd recommend restarting from the Stones rather than from scratch, although if that save is as early as I think it is you'd only really be saving the trip through the tutorial by doing so.

For what it's worth: even though I sometimes wish the default dragons were more dangerous, I don't use any of the +Dragons mods either, as they tend to go overboard in one way or another. In fact, Thavarei isn't even going to trigger them, and I'm considering using an 'alternate start' mod on future characters so that I don't have to go through the tutorial again.

I just created a completely new character. Femten just wasn't working out.

This is my Breton Conjurer, Seize Sombre. http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/559814205168752123/BC225EB9C58910A60C71D89DF3445EC57BB6500E/ Named for being Dark and being my 16th character. French for being Breton.

She has used Conjuration only, so far. I'm afraid that will soon change. With the new Conjurer Spells, now in Solitude, we hired a carriage to take us there and back to Whiterun. She has the starting Familiar (no help) and the new Black Hills Goblin. He is an Adept level spell, but she has enough to cast it with 5 Magicka left over.

I am playing on master and I have these insane Dragons, NPCs and Super mean Dragon Priests set up. The Dragons are set to the Vanilla spawns, but I have increased the number of random event areas. At least it won't be one continuous Dragon battle after the next and facing three at a time. However they will be incredibly powerful. Not just boasting 10,000 HPs, but using disarm shouts and conjuring Dremora Lords as well.

They are also set to random levels, so no more level with the player. At level 5 you could easily run up on a level 25 Dragon. At which point you just run. That's the way it should be.

The dungeons are not leveled either. I am currently half way through BFB. Entering at level 1 and facing a level 20 dungeon, it has taken me a little over an hr to progress this far. Seize is still barefoot, because we have found no boots or shoes yet. She has the robes and hood from Helgen. She will not wear armor, for now at least. That may soon change as well.

These guys are using shouts and conjuring Frost Atros. Plus being pitch black, it is really intense.

maybe i didnt make my character clear cory the high elf mage started off at level 1 on master difficulty with dead is dead rules and is now level 81 still with dead is dead rules yes i never died once on master level difficulty the whole time.... i know iam like a god at skyrim maybe its because i play it like apart time job lol....and for those of you to proud to ask my magika is 860, health 540, stamina 100 and my armour rating is 1193 it could be higher but i find alchemy so use less to put skill point in to so i dont make my own potions of enchanting or smithing... haha stamina points what a waste my carry weight is under 200 even with heavy dragon armour mind you i dont use weapons either and stuff i like like dragon priest maks etc i just store in my chest in breezehome.... so you think your better than me because you play skyrim on a pimped up computer with cool new mods well yes you are and iam jelous .... oh the skyrim dlc cant come soon enough... xbox 360 for life well till the 720 comes out lol

This is not my norm. I usually stay away from master, let alone anything that adds to it. I don't know what is wrong with me. Some of these cool armors and spells are obtained at early levels. Some are rather OP'd so I guess that can justify getting tough on the enemies.

If not for playing a Conjurer, I would not be attempting this now. I thought it would be interesting to put together the hardest things I could find and see what happens. I did put some armor on in two places. the halls of blades, in BFB. I am not real keen on those things. There is no where to shut them off. You just have to time it right and run through it, or pass one at a time.

Luckily, she made it through both without a scratch. Even with Heavy Armor. I am not sure she would have survived a hit from those things.

Seize faced, well Booty Sweat faced, an intense Boss fight at the end of the borrow. It lasted 30 min.

The first Dragon fight lasted 2 1/2 hrs. That was with all the help. Two in game days passed. Three Kajhiit stopped and helped out for the second day. They were essential for some reason. They just hid most of the time. The Dragon was a frost speaker. He also summoned a Frost Atro all the time. I am glad that thing couldn't fit through the door of the West Tower.

However the Dragon was able to get close enough to the door and summon him INSIDE the Tower. That was terror in your face. I thought the old girl was done, but she squirmed her way up stairs and cast BS on the steps to stop it.

Before seeing the Jarl, we made another trip to Solitude and picked up another spell. It's a Spirit Atro. Basically a Blue Flame Atro that shoots lightning. That was the main thing that chipped away at the 10,000 HPs of the Dragon. I'm just guessing. I have the enemy Health Bar turned off and I was beginning to wonder if the damn thing was healing itself as fast as the kids were dealing the damage.

FINALLY, it was over. That thing had another attack that looked like a FoRoDa. It one shot anything it hit. I do not see her making it if caught in the open. Even in town, If they summon Atros...It's over. I can't imagine being a Warrior and playing this. OR an Archer. You would need 1,000 arrows.

and my armour rating is 1193 it could be higher but i find alchemy so use less to put skill point in to so i dont make my own potions of enchanting or smithing...

That AR is more than twice the cap. You have 629 of the AR that is doing absolutely nothing.

Alchemy is one of the single most powerful skills in the game. It is THE single most versatile skill in the game.

Am I dead? Help

I pick-pocketed in Riften and was caught. So my follower decided to kill the guy. Needly to say, the guards came in after me swinging and slashing. I had no idea my follower would do that over a pick-pocket. Still, I was able to run safely out of Riften and escape. As I stood out there contemplating how I felt about the whole situation I wanted to see what would happen if I returned to riften; hoping they would just arrest me. But they started shooting on sight.
I easily could have turned and ran but instead stopped playing to reflect on how I felt about continuing to play as an outcast from Riften. Naturally, with me not playing, they killed me. Since I could have escaped and avoided death, do I have to count that as dead?? I simply stopped playing to think about things.

» Sat May 05, 2012 3:05 am

I have a question for the DiD players, who do you guys feel are the hardest enemies in the game? I figured I would ask the question here rather than take up good topic space. I dont play this way but imo the Drougr Deathlords are like my biggest problem, atleast with me they seem to like to use Unrelenting Force and then spam me with arrows.

my top 5 most feared skyrim enemies on dead is dead rules are of course enemies that can one shot kill me depending on what level iam if i were level 10 or 80 my awnsers would very slightly.... this is for console players with out mods...
1. Dragons most notibly ancient because they can swallow half your body and shake you to death if your not wearing some kind of horned helmet..
2. Drougr deathlords the archer type who can fusrodah you off cliffs or stick 3 ebony arrows into before you can get to you feet...
3. Dragon priest i nevr fight them alone anymore i get my followers and dual dremora lords to do my bidding...
4. wizards or high levels mages with high level destruction spells ...
5. Falmers in packs
other notable enemies not in any particular order include Giants, trolls, Chorus reapers, bandit chiefs, mammoths, bears, sabrecats, and giant frost spiders etc

senor cinco you sound like you have some pretty epic mods to play did rules on iam jelous i want to test my character so badly i hope the dlc has giant mudcrabs or like 4 dragons at one maybe wars in skyrim would be a cool mod.... as for alchemy i just nevr cared to put in the time i dont use weapons so i dont need poisons i buy smithin potions and enchating potions and ultimate healing is the only real potion i use and i can buy it so explain why alchemy is so important maybe for thief style players i guess but me unless if wanted to increase my enchating potions from 25% to higher, but i use up all my skill points in sneak, heavy armor, smithing, and variuos magics ... like erly in he game i use illision most notible invisiblity and quiet casting then on to conjuration healing alteration and destruction i would have to let go of one of the magika skill trees to make use for alchemy its just not gonna happen my character has no serious need for high alchemy levels .......

high elves dont just think were better than you we know it .. it is our birth right...

I know that this may come as a shock to you. but there are people out there that have higher numbers than you. You are obviously very young and very proud of yourself. That is good. But you will grow out of that soon enough. Just enjoy the time you have as a kid. Play games and have fun.

Being on a console doesn't keep anyone from using exploits. There are, and will always be glitches, that console players can use. I still, play on the console. I don't see a PC player being this super uber duber over a console player. Are there advantages? Yes. But I don't place them on a pedestal.

I made the move to the PC and mods because it's a hobby. Not just because I could make a game harder, but because I could make a game the way I want it. Not just combat, but looks, NPCs, housing, armor, weapons...and certainly not to have the ability to go "Hey! Look! I'm better than you!"

That kind of attitude has no place in this forum, or in this thread.

As far as Alchemy, there are entire threads devoted to indepth discussions on the subject. They explore the fine aspects a lot better than I could explain, without repeating it in a 5,000 word essay.

That is all on you my friend, and how it makes you feel. Ask yourself these Qs...

Was I actually playing?
Was I testing?
Did I just make a mistake? Like picking up something, when I meant to pick up something else?

Sometimes we get excited and caught up in the moment. Spamming the pick up button, or speeding through dialog, and just hit the wrong thing. Some live with those consequences, while others reload and keep going. Sometimes I will make a hard save ad start killing everybody, just to do it. That is not part of the actual gameplay. Sometines reload because I was testing a new weapon or gear, just to see how it would work or not work.

If this all sparked from the action of a follower, it is a choice you need to make, as how you feel about it.

EDIT : Note that I will invoke no shame upon you, no matter your choice.

i demand you tell me the truth...

Joking or not, It's those kinds of comments that spoil threads. I have a sense of humor and will cut up and carry on with the best ( and worst ) of them. Keep that to throw around with your little friends and keep it out of this ~~thread~~ forum.

Post on your character and comment on strategy and link to other threads that discuss a matter in more detail. We love to read about the adventures of characters. Preferably ones that start and end here, but still, all are welcome. BUT...

Keep in mid, this is NOT a contest. The level a character gets to is just an underlining. People play DID for different reasons and people don't play at all. I play for how it makes me feel the entire time I am playing and not about how far I got. If I didn't just retire a character, once they reached "God" status, it would defeat the purpose entirely.

Now, God status does not necessarily mean a fully built and "specialized" character. Some people like to train, build a character and then play the game. You don't have to do everything with one character. But if that's how you get a warm and fuzzy feeling, then who am I to say nay.

Enjoy your game.

You should. Start one here and tells us about it. Take us through the adventure with you. THAT is what this thread is about.

I hate to quote myself and I feel like I am promoting something every time I drop this reference, but THIS is why I play they way I do. It's about the moment.

Note : Banjo is one of the Dremora Lords, she summons. She called them the Dueling Banjos, because there are two of them and they will _______ anything.

This one will best describe why I play DiD. Sonoura was my first char in Skyrim. Here, we just gain access to the Arch Mage chambers. -no spoilers- and was caught unprepared. http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1255838-the-skyrim-dead-is-dead-thread/page__view__findpost__p__19285568
