Hey whats up guys its me again. I took a little break from Skyrim but I made part 4. I actualy had a full dungeon run recorded with commentary but it was too many files to produce and I dont like Fraps then Camtasia combo nor have the time to edit so many videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfFEEYWRVIs This one is .vs Otar the Mad with some pretty close quaters. It was really challenging and took a while to master different techniques but in this display I am using Fire Storm to start it off, Incinerate, Flame Cloak and Slow Time. My Slow Time is at level 1 so recharge is fairly fast + with combination of Flame Cloak I think it did some really good damage. Did get lucky a few tries as Otar has a staff of storm wall so thats where I got damaged at. Overall a fun experience. Next will have to be Elder Dragon to see what I can come up with. Enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UG0u5QkZ7U Part 3. Inside Yngvild for close quater combat. Decided to try out Wall of Storms as it's a beefed up version of sparks and work with that damage over time aspect, thought it was a pretty cool even though it was low on damage. Worked with Whirlwind Sprint and Unrelentic Force in this video as I've already used Become Ethereal. Just hit lvl 50 yesterday and decided to spend my last 5 perk points into hydromancer and pyromancer perks. I did not use Intense Flames perk as I dont want enemies running away from me but I did invest in Deep Freeze for paralyze effect. Going to use Ice and Fire when in proper situations against mobs. Will be focusing on Wall of Frost but I am not sure if it does stamina damage but I hope it does. Since I decided to focus on destruction mage playthrough I feel like a real mage now. I am also working on final armor pieces. At level 50 I have 984 mana but I am running with 28%/28%/15% for 71%- destruction cost. From day I build this character to have the largest mana pool so I got some new enchanting potions so what I will be working on next is removing one of the 28% enchantings for more mana I just need to work out the pieces since I'd like to keep my Archmage Robes. The video went through a lot of editing because Camtasia is very weird and displays a large chunk of produced content as a pitch black video for some reason so this went throught a lot of 720p to 1080p through various part so thats why it's like that. If anybody can recommend a good program. I am sure Vegas studio is good I've heard about it. I am not a fan of virtual dub it takes ages to render. Just now a days if its not 1080p why bother right :) More videos showcasing Fire, Ice and what not soon.

Happened when I put on Theifs and or DB head pieces but other than that nothing else on my end.

Wrong on both counts. 'Tactical' does not mean scurrying about and hiding from your enemies attack. 'Tactical' would be having varied abilities to counter varied attacks used at the right time. 'Powerful' is not killing your enemy with the death of a thousand static shocks, it is withstanding your enemies deadly attacks, countering and launching your own deadly attacks. If you enjoy playing the 'willfully weak' character that's your choice, but don't wet my back and tell me it's raining. I dont think its that weak. Usualy I can get a non ancient dragon down to 60-50%hp before he attacks. I think thats pretty powerful and what else could I do in those type of situation where I have dragon breath and Krosis sniping? Ofcourse I'll kite around a wall. I'd love to use walls and wards but they arent that great in my opinion so I kind of did what I did. My meaning of "power and tactical" is controling the field to my advantage with the tools provided by the original non-modded game (as long as they are viable). Not how much damage I do and at what scale I am. Thats how I meant it :)

Well do to high number of suggestions I plan on doing wards, walls and cloaks aswell to see if 100 hp can withstand higher bosses next time I am in tight spots. Also 1080p version of the video is up. 1/2 asses 1080p but its better then 360p :D I am also learning a lot about video editing but the software I use sucks.

New link to video is up.

Part 2 is up with video and my skills and active menu showing. Really fun guys and thanks very much for the feedback. Next would be to utilise Whirlwind charge more. *video turns pitch black thanks to fraps and camtasia duo :). Reuploading in a little bit with sactificed HD quality. *shakes fist*

I love Karliah, the same way as I love Eola, Elisif, Lisette, Vex and Muiri...like in real life girfriends.

I agree, but something tells me that some where in Bethesdas offices they decided that magery should be as is. I know of the mod that increases damage but I havent modded my game as I will rather wait and see official patches. As far as resistanses that even if I cap them out 100 hp wont be enough to sustain damage over time of their breath attack. I've discovered that after my health drops below 85ish I automaticaly die as I would be incinerated or burned so I figured I'd dump all my enchants to mana in a way that I can still fully mana dump. Now I have to beat the main quest as there is no way going back but I have some dragon roosts spawns that Greybeards gave me so there will probably be a ancient dragon there. Also I havent done Shearpoint and that will be a real challenge because its rather open and there is a dragon and Krosis there :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I will definately try a Ancient Dragon (I think my games scales Ancients now) 1v1 without obsticles and see if something else may work. I can see why its tedious but its something different :) Now if they make it that Telekenisis does damage. I was really disappointed that I could not damage the enemy with Telekenisis. I tried dragon bones and solid dwemer blocks as telekenetic projectiles do to their weight but not enough damage :) I wanted to make Ermac from Mortal Kombat :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiUvxRdQ4Ho Part 1. Nahkriin, Frost Dragon and Elder Dragon So yeah this is my Mage. I dump everything in mana and I run around with 100 hp and stamina on Master difficulty and I find it extremely easy and challenging. I do have enchanting maxed and alchemy maxed but I did not use any sort of loops or exploits and as you can tell I still mana dump. I also did not use any potions aswell only Highborn which is racial so no problem there. As discussed with player and friends over at steam forums Impact is overpowered and is a full enemy lockdown, we all know this, but in this example I did not use dual cast to, more or less prove a point that it is possible to be a great mage in this game without by using proper tactics, shouts and kiting. I also have Illusion maxed and I do not use conjury magic save for Soul Trap so I can recharge my staves when mana is low. Sure I died, mainly to Nahkriin do to mistakes in position but I actualy had 2 good strategies while fighting Nahkriin and the dragons but I captured this one because I liked it more. My 1st was similar to this one utilizing Become Ethereal and running across and focusing on dragons first but then I decided that Nahkriin needs to get taken care of first. It kind of sucks that he had half life but I think thats with everybody for some reason *shrugs* In conlusion I think Magery is really powerfull here and challenging. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fokucVNcN_c Part 2. Krosis and Frost Dragon Going to have to sacrifice HD *shrugs*. *shakes fist at fraps and camtasia* Wasn't as bad as I thought. I actualy had about 4 good footages captured but this was one the better out of all of them. On this one I figured I need to dispatch the dragon first as Krosis had more health. a lot of really close calls and luck. I tried Whirlwind Sprint instead of Become Ethereal but dragon breath seems to lock on target so it wasn't as viable against the dragon. This was a really fun battle and very adrenaline rushed. Definately had to use environment on this one as well as fighting in the open with such low hp would be silly. I guess next would be tight quaters in dungeons.

Didnt know these whee in simple dds format. This make it easy to play with!
