lestat1234 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) This patch has rendered Skyrim unplayable. Specifically the magic resistance bug.I'm doing the quest for the Sanquine staff, in Morvunskar, fighting a fire mage. Popping dragon skin, resist fire, and resist magic do absolutely nothing, and I get SHREDDED.WTF is that crap? a game I spent $60 on, and I can't play. I can get on my 36 sneak /backstabber and one shot anything that poses even a remote threat. But I can't play my heavy armor sword and board conjuror .Sure glad Bethesda has decided what class I play while they fix this pathetic mess.

Guss Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) don't need resistance to live through casters it helps but if you rely all on resistance need to rethink of some tactics. game unplayable nope just what you want to think. bow's dodge and many other ways to get them, i use no resistance sometimes its a pain but after a few tricks here and there you can get them. :thumbsup: adept i play on atm heavy armor katana and shield. wanting to try going 2 hander now but yea. i hate ice mages fire seem easy. Dragon shouts help a lot to get them. + dps/healing potions help a ton. Edited December 4, 2011 by Guss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't play my heavy armor sword and board conjuror .Sure glad Bethesda has decided what class I play while they fix this pathetic mess.Yes, thank you for the response, and advise, but it really is that bad.I can play defensively, spec for magic resist with block perc, summon a tanking frost atronoch, bring in a companion, pop resist pots, etc etc.It literally doesn't help. My hp disappeared so fast last attempt I was alive, and then I was dead. BOOM just like that. And at last poster sorry again, I do not need play tips. And I should not have to spec for bows. This particular guy is a heavy armor sword and board conjuror. I spec for block perc, and should be able to eat magic with block perc, and dragon skin if needed. pots if needed as well. Adept resto with +50% effect fast healing is enough at this level as well. You missed the point.The magic damage is so bad, you get one shotted.I am a total of 150 hours in, with 3 different characters. I am very familar with the nuances of Skyrim, and how to play.A smug response telling me how to play is just ignorant. You have zero magic resistance atm. ZERO.

lestat1234 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) just tips to help get those creatures or whatever your fighting. going off what you said, that the game unplayable without resistance. :confused:Again, I don't need play tips. The block perc is there for a reason. to ignore 50% spell damage. This is exactly HOW a sword and board character eats magic. Not to even mention resistance enchants.Nullifying all resistances does break the game.Plus wtf, dragon skin, resistance enchants, and pots do nothing...I don't have to rethink tactics. I'm using tactics, and specing tactically. Summoning a frost atronoch with block perc, popping dragon skin with resist fire enchants. Come on man, without this bug, I would carve this mage a new arse hole.One particular archetype might not be as effected by it as another, but yes. it IS game breaking. No wonder this bug still exists as it does. Some players are arguing about it, and pretending it's not completely screwing up game balance.

Sarathoria Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 OP, the guy you're nerd raging at never said nullified resistances don't break the game. Obviously it's broken, and it's going to be fixed, but what I find funny is that you got mad at Guss for sharing an alternative tactic to beating casters, and you perked up on your high horse telling him you don't need other tactics because yours is the right method. Anyway, I can see how a sword and board character would have trouble with this bug, but my shadow archer is doing just fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lestat1234 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Well, I got the damn fire mage, but it was a but load of pots. Mainly stamina pots from a lot of shield bashing. God damn broken patch. Sarathoria grab a clue.A character doesn't suddenly become adept at dealing damage with bows, or in the school of destruction.If I stood there and casted " flames" or pew pewed with my quaint bow...ya.Just grab a clue. I wasn't putting down HIS tactic, so much as arguing that mine is fine. and it's the bug that's the issue here, not my tactics. You're darn straight my tactics are fine. Care to explain why they included the block perc, enchanting or pots in the game?? Edited December 4, 2011 by lestat1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 sry i couldn't help. but i guess i can't help somepeople and the way they think.... :( didn't tell you "how to play/that you must " with your character. Don't need to get all pissy at me just for giving advise " what i should have said but mean almost the same in this matter." on ways to overcome that issue. but glad to help anyway. i think its ignorant for refusing advise/tips on ways to get around it. I really don't want to keep on going..... i guess i should leave this post and hmm..... :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
