LordPariah Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I cant seem to stop giggling.Share your experiences as an illusionist guys! I wanna hear some of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatcatcherOfKvatch Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Heck in Oblivion I was Franz Mesmer on roller skates. If you out-leveled your illusions you could just make new ones. It is possible in Skyrim to keep up, it's just a lot more work. My Illusion level inevitably doesn't keep up, and I fall back on the old standbys like Conjuration. Sorry. :( (I keep meaning to try an Illusion build, it just never seems to work out that way in the end.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayFrosty05 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Titchy little Breton Illusionist Girl (I use a Height Adjuster Mod, makes Bosmers very short and consoled her height down to just a tiny fraction shorter than Bosmers). She's a Pacifist...interesting play style in Skyrim.... :P ....and heads into a Bandit Camp...Halted Stream I think it was....there's a Bandit seated near a locked gate, he carries the key to the gate and she needs the key. So she casts 'Calm' on him, sneaks up behind him and picks his pocket, taking the key and all his coins. Not too long after I see some 'Hired Thugs' heading down the road towards her....wait till they get close and cast the area 'Calm' spell on them (can't remember what it's called) and immediately sets about distracting them and picking their pockets...picked them clean.... :biggrin: ...all valuables plus the Note taken....guess who the Note was from.... :biggrin: ...the Bandit she had lifted the key from.... :biggrin: ...I want to know how the Hired Thugs reported that incident back to the Bandit...Bwahaha!!.... ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnaiSiaion Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 All you really need is a way to make illusion spells scale. Many spell mods do that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a bit too high leveled for a calm spell to work :P To be honest, the only illusions spells I regularly use are frenzy (when I want to kill someone without getting a bounty) and invisibility (which is pretty much the best thing ever).

Hah!...Yes, that proved an interesting problem...the Dragons.... :biggrin: ....I did take my time activating the MQ first Dragon fight for that very reason.....I was playing her pretty hard RP wise....then again I play all my Dovah's hard on RP.....My little Breton girl, why she was a Pacifist was because she was a sh*t scared teenager with a cosy, protected back story....I RP'ed her as 17 years of age. A friend on Nexus ended up taking my primary Dovahkin and turned him into a Follower for me....his stats and AI to my asking...he was basically custom built for her RP....She picked him up just before the first Dragon fight anbd from then on in would cower behind him as he took on the Beasties....she would be planted right up his backside...she was always getting in his way, under his feet, etc...generally being a damned nuisance and interference for him, it was a whole lot of fun.... :biggrin: ....but while he battled she kept him healed and worked her Illusions on his foes....casting Fear, Calm, Frenzy, etc...it worked out very well.... :happy: ....His AI was to plant himself in one spot and let the enemy come to him, it made it very easy to hide behind him and keep her Illusions and Healing him active without her really getting in too much harms way.
