Actually, I had a few thought's on some games.. mod's and all... the 1st is just in a early stages of thought... so, not really well thought out as to perameters and premise, but something like..

"Easter Egg" hunt.. ( in April obviously ) That is you have to find as many of the "Easter Egg's" as possible.. which is part of the thing I haven't thought out.. Pictures could be taken, but that would add up to...a lot of pictures. Because of what those "Easter Egg's" are...model your character after your favorite "Easter Egg"...

That's one Idea... Another is...

Speed round.. your favorite build.. on the same difficulty.. Everyone pick their favorite Dungeon or two... and that's the premise and run... lowest time wins... ( which is why the same difficulty)..

But like I said... in the early stages...


Edit: leather and sheerling house slippers.. but their is 2 inches of water out the door, so.. hubbies muck boot's and slicker... rain hat.. it's poring.

Heh, who said these were "outdoor" slippers? They would be called "bedroom slippers" by sane people. :)

It's just that, for the moment, the snow is beaten down to where I'm not wading in it...
I don't buy anything but "outdoor soles" slippers. WAY too much ice and snow on the decks. Sure, husband does wood etc. But I'm the one out there on the deck dealing with bird food and water....

Golden Egg Treasure Hunt mod is available for PC and Xbone. Might be a possibility for the Easter Egg hunt.

P.S. It's been consistently -19 to -22F each morning for a week with about 2.5 feet of snow on the ground. Some places has drifted to 4 to 5 feet deep. Nuttin' but packers for going outside around here. :snow:

Why? it's not just "finding them" cause I generally post a link to thing's like that anyway.. it's in going and doing... which is the fun part.. seeing the "Easter Egg".. and IF everyone that is playing want's, we could just do the Easter Egg treasure hunt.... No selling or using.. to count you have to have the egg... or both..

BTW you know some people would go look for the egg's 1st or watch a video.. same as looking for all the Stones.. some people know where more are than others.

Just joshin'. I'm a Microbiologist by education so I knew what it was immediately, but one could not help the visual connotation which no doubt was the point of the gif in the first place. I do believe "they" are not allowed to post anything that isn't puerile in nature. <--- pun intended ;)

I'll see about putting it on Nexus... I hate to though, since it's very specific...

Edit: it's on the nexus now, so hopefully it will work for everyone. Put a link to Nexus page on the Smexy Santa page!

And the game has it wrong, because even dual wielders should be able to block. The most common kind of left-handed weapon was a main-gauche, which is a parrying dagger.
ESO has DW block but you hold both mouse buttons down.

The game has no power attacks. DW power attacks use the same combo. It's likely they omitted blocking because of technical reasons and made up a reason why.

Can't really block with a bow either but you can bash. Also technical reasons.

That's an interesting statement. "Viability, would change or be vastly different based on the difficulty mods make. If you play them on the base vanilla game they're all viable."

So.... maybe the whole premise should shift to playing only the base vanilla game.

Now - admittedly I don't play (eh, doesn't seem like fun to me, sorry). But - really.... coming up with - and + modifiers for mods.... That seems like.... um. Not sure about a comparison that won't piss everyone off.

Seriously. Bram's point has merit. EVERY "class" is viable in the base (vanilla) game. So - that should be the optimal starting point?
Problem is that we've been there and done that.

Besides, the viability of characters even in vanilla depends to a great extent on the difficulty setting. Stealth characters have a very hard time in vanilla on a setting of Master or Legendary, for instance, and a knight or paladin type without crafting would be in a world of hurt on the same settings.
Stealth characters aren't spotted more easily on higher difficulty... All that does is up box damage/HP and reduce your damage.

Dying on Legendary was always unrelated to sneak :(

'Tis why I like playing on Adept. It's balanced perfectly so that you can survive without crafting, and still have it challenging.

Found it.

Need to grab this if I ever play legendary again.

This also looks good, since I usually play on master anymore.

Basically they alter the player damage penalty so mobs are less spongy without altering damage taken. That was my biggest problem... Pincushions that can kill you. Not challenging, just tedious. Especially as a sneak archer.

Ok....you know what I am gonna say to that.

Increasing player delt damage from one quarter to three times means you kill your foes twelve times faster than on regular legendary.

A big part of what make legendary hard is about surviving / avoiding being hit whilst taking the required time to kill your enemy.

In other words this mod vastly reduces the time you spend in immediate danger...possibly one hit killing your foe before they even react. If the DO react then you need good defence or you can be one hit killed. So what this mod does is mimics an unlevelled game...makes glass cannons.

But...if you armour up well as Legendary play normally needs.....you will be safe.......and your foes will be quickly dead.

So....it simply is not really "Legendary" at all.....You may as well just play on Expert which will feel about as survivable.

I am not sure how it will affect mage play.....player mages will have the same vulnerability as usual...which is very high on Legendary. However, suddenly having destruction spells that do 12x more damage to foes will again make you a glass cannon.

With conventional Legendary you really need good physical defence...(and enchanted or potion defence against magic) which is why we get to do smithing up. Once you achieve good armour (or best flesh spells for robe wearers) and good weapon output (which is where mages suffer the poor spell levelling).....then the damage delt and taken ratio starts to feel a lot better balanced.

You do NOT take twenty hits to kill a mudcrab....and your damage taken is still significant, but not stupid insta kill.

Mod it if ya like....but then it ain't legendary anymore......
