The Elder Scrolls Megathread XV: A Song of Ice and Draugr - Games

Fucking TES and its fucking stats.

It'd be interesting to see a tes game where stats are all invisible. You'd have to guess at what's good and what's crap on your own. It'd involve both character skill and player skill.

Interesting? Yes. Fun? Probably not.

In their tongue, he is Dovahbit. And he ain't afraid of y'all bitch ass punks [img]http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/595882322391568633/42CF4C6DDD5365A4CEEC3B9AC532D0E7B2171B49/[/img]

I only realised last night that it's possible to hunt butterflys with a bow and arrow. Is it too late for reviewers to adjust their score of this game taking that fact into account?

[QUOTE=Forumaster;41287567][video=youtube;XcxKIJTb3Hg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxKIJTb3Hg[/video] ?[/QUOTE] I actually wanted to call him Dovahbit of Caerbannog It will be the best pet ever a dovahkin could ever hope for and you'll be able to give him any helmet and he'll wear it I wanted him to use shouts but that seems to be more complicated than I thought so I might just have him run about and look amazing while you kill stuff. Because he is Dovahbit and he ain't got time to fight your own battles He's actually a great companion to use as a mule, it's small, doesn't get in the way, and you don't have to worry about him running into an enemy's face while you are sneaking. I think I'll actually use it aside from making it as a joke

[QUOTE=cdr248;41286426]Interesting? Yes. Fun? Probably not.[/QUOTE] But then you could put more information in the game without the player obsessing over numbers. "That sword has an impossibly sharp edge and appears to be in excellent condition after use. It must be made out of a great metal.the blade is curved and That book spoke of how curved blades are better for slashing" " wearing all this will make my character stand out in crowds and others wary of me, yet hide my identity.It looks heavy yet it probably won't make much sound." " there are boils on my arm. I should get that sorted out." "my character is shaking. Obviously he/she's afraid of an opponent or i've been hit by a fear spell"

There have been games that do stuff like this where it can be misinterpreted sometimes. As much as I love stuff like that it never actually works the way it is intended.

[QUOTE='[Green];41281977']Speaking of ENB, I reinstalled Skyrim a small while ago and have been trying to find the ENB preset that I was using.

It's odd how Mournhall feels to Morrowind what Qarth is to Westeros in GoT [editline]3rd July 2013[/editline] Ahaha "Forstag the Sweltering" 'Why am I naked? Because it's hot! You people think everytime you see a naked nord it's because he's been tricked by some witch!?'

please stop calling it Mournhall it's killing me

[QUOTE=InUndenial;41283225]how to not go snail speed in morrowind?[/QUOTE] Remember that you can set Steed as your birthsign. That helps a lot.

[QUOTE=Kommodore;41291861]please stop calling it Mournhall it's killing me[/QUOTE] this all the dialogue is text based so you probably have the name in your face about 300 times every play session and someone corrected you on it already [editline]3rd July 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=27X;41291182]Do not ask, do not click.

I'll try to solve it on my own. Thanks anyway!

In all my playthroughs of Skyrim, i've never played a Mage. What are some tips for playing one?

Mages are kinda underpowered IMO. Having not a shield to block or stealth to avoid fighting in Skyrim is sure death(at least in Deadly Combat).

I just got another continuity nod to Morrowind. Remember those Scrolls of [sp]Icarian Flight[/sp]? Turns out that people are still trying to do that trick. Except without the scrolls. [sp]Guess what happens.[/sp]

Going to play Morrowind for the first time later today. Woo.

[QUOTE=Sommoch;41293007]In all my playthroughs of Skyrim, i've never played a Mage. What are some tips for playing one?[/QUOTE] Mages are pretty weak compared to previous ES games. But in previous ES games mages were always a bit on the easy side. If you're playing a mage, you can still carry a shield to block at the first few levels to ease the pain a little. Once you can create spell reduction gear it gets alot easier.

Meanwhile Novice mages have enough magicka to keep wards up near-permanently and spray you with fire/ice/lighting at the same time.

Prepare to get massacred by ice spikes :v:
