DeZevil Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 For my casual games in the wonderful Skyrim, I have two major thorns in my side that I would like some help with. Enemy mages are almost always my most hated type of enemy in any RPG, due to me mostly finding them to be borderline overpowered (or I simply manage to find the highest level fu..*BEEP!*..rs when at a low level in comparison myself... all the time). In Skyrim, my concern is mostly about their supposed finite magicka pool that I find to be quite infinite. It is so annoying when enemy mages hurl magic spells at me as if they had a machine gun with lightning bolts for ammunition, when I cannot cast the same spell more than five-six times at 300 magicka before I have to drink magicka potions unless I am jacked up on Fortify Destruction enchants.My main problem with this is the fact that my own shock damage spells (shock damage, which is supposed to drain magicka equal to half the damage dealt) appear to do nothing against them. I have even tested by continously healing an enemy mage while damaging him with shock spells to see if he ever ran out of magicka and to my great frustration my patience ran out before his magicka did after doing that for a couple of minutes... Why even have the drain magicka part in the shock damage description if it practically does nothing to enemy mages? And to add insult to injury for me, enemy mages drain my magicka with lightning spells just fine... and I mean real fine. There's no drain half as much magicka as health when enemy lightning spells hit me. I can lose over half my magicka from a single shock spell, while suffering nowhere near 300 damage (minus magic resistance). Same goes for enemy warriors and their relation to stamina for power attacks and frost damage, which to me appears to be a very similar situation.. inexhaustible stamina. And, relating to frost spells: Enemy frost spells can slow me down by freezing me, but I cannot seem to do that to them. And before anyone asks, this venting came from a complete vanilla game with no previous or active mods. What I am seeking is a mod that balances this thing and puts a cap to the amount of magicka and stamina that enemy mages and warriors have respectively. And if the mod actually makes shock and frost damage stay true to their descriptions and actually drain magicka and stamina respectively. Also, if it could make sure I only lose half as much magicka compared to health lost, it would be just dandy. If I am supposed to lose 40 health, I don't wanna lose 140 magicka. I have been scouring the Nexus for a mod that does this or similar, but either there are none or I haven't managed to find it. Any help with this would be appreciated.

SwordSkill Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I absolutely agree a mod that limits the magicka of the enemies is a must because as it stands it renders bolt spells useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
