Elder Scrolls V SKYRIM !! 11-11-11

[TheLaughingMan]

While I agree about leveling system sucking balls in Oblivion, I never found the Kvatch battle to be difficult at all and I think I never did it before level 40.

It was difficult to do it without getting the other people killed, but fighting was relatively easy for me. But yeah I've heard that the allies who fight on the battle have the same level regardless of yours (while enemies do level) so they probably help something when you are low level.

On my first play through they'd all die in a matter of seconds. On my next playthroughs I created some very powerful spells to use on them. One was something like: restore health 10 points + shield 50 + fortify endurance 25 + fortify blade skill 25, all for 30 seconds. And I was constantly casting this on every ally, then rushing and killing the enemies with my super enchanted weapons.

I sat back and watched the fight. I am not sure who or how many people died. I was maxed level and everyone seemed to be holding there on. I did have 1 member of every group I was apart of following me, 1 storm Athernach I summoned, and the creepy minion dude from the dark lair. Seriously, you would think the guys from the Fighter's Guild, or Knight of the Nine, or Mage's Guild would questing a undead monster and member of The Hand calling me master. Oh well.

While my entourage was having fun, I just waited for the big gate, cast something to triple my speed and agility for a a short time, blazed through without stopping to fight, and grab the great stone before the drill even got off the bridge. Why fight wars with game programming will kill entire armies for advancing the plot.

P.S. If you try this, bring the highest ranked members of each faction. They scale to higher levels and are "essential" characters so they don't die. And loading will be a little sketchy once 4 or 5 people are following you.

You are talking about Bruma. We were talking about Kvatch, the one that happens very early in the main plot, before (or just after, can't remember) finding Martin. iirc Bruma was actaully a lot easier than Kvatch for me. The thing is Kvatch battle was apparently designed to play as a low level character, while Bruma was designed for higher level characters. So while Kvatch was designed to find dozens of scamps to fight with, in higher levels you end up fighting dozens of Xivilai + just as many clannfear that they summon. And every one of them can wipe out your low level allies in about 3 hits, because they only have around 100 HP.

PS: If you bring companions, yes, them companions might easily survive and win the battle for you, but the allies that are part of the quest will still die in a matter of seconds unless tou fortify their health + shield and you are constantly healing them.

Oh, I forgot about that. Your right. you should also repeatedly paralyze them to keep them out of the battle, but then you have to watch over them so nothing attacks while they can't move.

No you cannot fly dragons and the only way you can get on one is though a special kill move.

 

[hellrazor]

Mods shall save us.

Just so you all know, Frick says all games suck because he plays them on a Hoover vacuum wired to a monitor.

Has this been confirmed?

Last I read they didn't want to shed any light on it, they were keeping it very hush along with lycan(whatsItCalledphy).

This was a few months ago though and I haven't been following the offical forums or news much since. :shadedshu

He said that months ago. He specifically said, "The only mount in the game is a horse."

 

[Ahhzz]

".... and that Nord on the street corner...."

 

[BrooksyX]

Can it be November already! I am dying to get my hands on this game.

 

[hellrazor]

November: Skyrim and Thanksgiving.

Best. Month. Ever.

 

[1Kurgan1]

November: Skyrim and Thanksgiving.

Best. Month. Ever.

October: Batman, BF3, and Halloween

The 3 weeks between those 3 titles is going to kill me, I want them all.

Hey guys just thought you may find this interesting, my mate did this custom paint for his controller getting ready for Skyrim!

 

[hellrazor]

Glob-o-info here, I'm just gonna quote my favorite line:

Even more interesting [is if] you manage to piss off guards from several factions, you might even get to watch them fight each other over who gets to take you into custody.

I fully intend on abusing that and seeing if I can't start a full-scale war.

Watched it on Divx TV a long time ago i do believe there is youtube vids of it now.

Sorry took so long to reply i try not to read threads like this due to spoiling the game for when it's actually out.

I guess they had to say that because kids be trying to mount there in game wifes lol.
