I wonder how many people who used to be ambivalent to steam became haters after all the crap with Skyrim's patches.
-
Judging by a college quest, it looks like thier spirits were locked in another plane of existance. If someone were to do enough horrendously dangerous research, they may be able to summon them and perhaps even communicate with them. Since the research is so perilous though, I doubt anyone will succeed in the near future.
-
It would either be Molog bal's or Sanguine's quest. Molog's had the best atmosphere and Sanguine's felt like something I'd get into if I lived in Skyrim in real life.
-
Why is it that whenever I hear the words steam and Skyrim, I invariably hear either bugged, drm or delayed in the same paragraph? If they want to integrate the kit into steam fine but don't piss people off by delaying the damn thing just to add more drm nonsense hidden in a crappy tacked on wannabe mod marketplace. If steam screws up the CK with drm and bugs, someone will have to die.

He did what he had to in order to keep man alive.
Hammerfell would disagree with that last assessment.
-
I never really saw trolls as significantly tough until one killed my horse. I usually simply rely on summons and firebolts and never noticed that they could kill me in two hits or so since a lot of other monsters could do the same more or less.
-
Looks like I'm in the minority. I generally stick to no armor except for the mordekei mask. The rest are archmage robes and thalmor gloves + boots.
-
I really haven't used illusion at all but from what I read, using calm and a destruction spell in alternating attacks is a standard strategy for one on one fights, fear is a bad idea if you are exploring dungeons as a terrified mook running away through the dungeon tends to bring a lot of agro and leveling stealth is almost a given.
-
Haha I've actually never asked that before, all I do is just play the game like it's suppossed to be played
Saying you're supposed to play a game vanilla in a board about mods is about the silliest thing you can do here. :sweat:

I actually did the dumb thing and went after him even though I didn't have a skill over sixty and I didn't bother to refill on potions. My character was barely able to handle the dungeon using sigils, stun locking and fire atronachs, let alone Mordekei. Those thunderbolts were hell and his summons turning caught me off guard. I only managed to beat him after glitching him with a desperate barrage of stun locking dual casted firebolts. If his animation didn't freeze, I would have never finished that quest.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing the Isles again if it was part of a much larger story and much farther in the future; say if it shows up in TES eight or nine. Shivering is still too fresh in everyone's memory right now. As for Sheogorath, I'm actually disappointed that he doesn't play a larger role in the 200 years between Oblivion and Skyrim. Then again, all this chaos would make too much sense if it was all Sheogorath's fault.
-
Yeah. Starting a fight at swinging range is never a good thing for a mage. I had to shout him down and run a way before collecting myself to give him a proper cremation.
-
In defense of the unfortunate name, it seems many dragons' names have violent meanings.
Nah Ag Liiv stood for "Fury Burn Wither," Vul jot naak stood for "dark maw eat" and Al Du In means "Destroyer Devour Master."
Link below is in case anyone finds any more names worth translating.

I wasn't aware they started nonhostile when you find them in the wilderness o.0
This comment made my day. Just to check, after they start sending assassins, does anyone know if you ever see non-hostile Thalmor random encounters again?
-
Is it sad that I have more fun killing their arrogant uptight stuck-butts than dragons?
Nah. It's pefectly understandable. Encountering and killing dragons is straightforward but finding and taking out Thalmor can be done any number of ways. So far, I've seen the standard wanderers, the hit squad and the prisoner escort. I actually managed to save the prisoner by the method I used in the first post, though I only gave him a mace before cutting him loose.
-
conjuration, destruction, alteration and speech. I'll likely add enchanting and alchemy later.

IStill, I'd rather skip the dividing and go straight in. Does anyone have a build in which they do just take them all on at once? What difficulty do you play at in that case?
I've never had problems with fighting them all at once. I assume that we are talking about the groups that usually consists of 2 shield and sword users, and one mage? Just go for the mage first, and then the others.
I play on the adept difficulty though...
I seem to have bad luck with them. Most encounters I have to deal with two spellcasters and meat shield. It's why I pick them apart when I see them. Also on adept myself.
-
I was just wondering what the typical reaction people had to Thalmor encounters were. I tend to hold up the last guy in the party and say I can worship whoever I want. He goes nuts before he tastes force lightening and I repeat the process with minimal effort. No bounty incurred to boot and I get some equipment to give any prisoner they may have if need be.

It ironically makes sense cannon wise. Only a mad god would be the dark brotherhood listener, gray fox, archmage, fighters guild master and divine crusader at the same time. By making thE CoC the mad god, they were able to effectively remove him from directly influencing events in the following 200 years while also avoiding contradictions most playthroughs.
-
I'd say hold off until the construction kit comes along. Skyrim's UI really sucks for mouse and keyboard right now. If you have a controller though and can get the address aware patch to work despite the latest drm patch, you are probably good to go.
-
The night mother is way too picky perhaps? Canon wise, the general assumption for the CoC seems to be that he may have done every quest in Oblivion, good or bad, which wouldn't be too difficult to imagine if he became Sheogorath. Besides, after 200 years of being a vampire,it isn't too much of a leap to find out your character goes nuts from boredom and became Sheogorath after a while.
-
I tend to blame the Thalmor invasion in combination with the CoC going crazy after turning into Sheogorath for disrupting all of the old guilds.
The mage guild's headquarters in the Imperial Capitol was probably looted and destroyed during the sack, splintering the already weakened organization. The Dark Brotherhood is an interesting case as it looks like it relied too heavily on the leadership of the listener, who disappeared after becoming Sheogorath.
The fighter guild, already hurting from the Blackwood mess was the most likely to have been further decimated by the great war. It is odd that there's no mention of them in Skyrim though since they were originally supposed to have a presence in every Imperial province. Has anyone found anything in the game that mentions the old guild?
Only the thieves guild was likely to have escaped the worst of the war though, as mentioned earlier, they aren't the same guild as the one in Skyrim. Even if it wasn't, it is conceivable that they splintered without the gray fox to act as the ultimate authority. TES organizations really rely too much on autocratic authority to get anything done.

200+ posts in less than 24 hours because a DRM patch screwed up a surprising number of PC gamers. I wonder if this is unique to this forum since almost everyone here uses mods or if it is just as bad an inconvenience outside of nexus.
Vampirism, Not Cannibalism...
