Hard Play

[Adipose]

If you folks want hard play, then start at Legendary...all the way. Then run as an Elder Race character for start. Then install Adolphen's rework of Erkeil's mods. After that install some of GRVulture's work.

 

Double down on Frostfall, RND, Wet and Cold, Bathing in Skyrim and Loot and Degradation.

 

If you go harcore on Frostfall, then you'll definitely need the Camping stuff. Otherwise you won't do at all well up north or in the high country. LOL! You might not

 

even make it into BFB. Corpsicle all the way people.

 

BTW, the harcore aspects of Frostfall are not out of line with reality. Back in the day (old fogy story here), up in Alaska on the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line

 

they had what was called the 30-30-30 Rule: If the temp was -30F and wind at 30 knots, then exposed flesh would freeze in 30 sec.

 

If you do all of the above, then you WILL need followers. At least three or four, otherwise your backside will be toast...constantly. As a Geezer, your stamina ain't

 

gonna be worth s...t for a long time. That WILL impact your gameplay even with enhancements on gear. A lone skeever will be a serious threat.

 

Speaking of followers, if you're going hardcore, then play your people with UFO. Then, through UFO, play all of them as nonessential. You will quite likely lose some.

 

You will need a healer follower, such as Magosa(she doesn't do nonessential). Either that or learn "Healing Hands" early on and really work at leveling your restoration and magicka cause you're

 

gonna need it.

 

Also, install some of the more demanding perk trees for leveling. Takes a long time to top out on some of those new ones.

 

Oh, one more point: DON'T USE CHEATS!!! Bye now.
