That's a pretty good run, Sah! Congratulations. I hope your next effort goes as well or better! |

I'll catch the videos when I get home... but nice run! For a good looking band of merry men , try Queenieangels mods... they are :drool: ishious.... though I do like some over others. |

Wow four questlines Sah....thats halfway through. Very well done! I just got back to Skuldafn at level 44....175 hours (again) and dead....again. This time I was mobbed in a tiny room by Scourges and Deathlords....in the first Skuldafn tower you come to. Normally there are just three draugr in there...but this time, four more must have piled in from outside whilst I was in the room. No chance...they totally blocked up the only doorway. Never happened before....Bastards! A classic case of Skyrim changing the rules to get you.....you seeing this neil ! Undaunted, our will unbroken...we will begin again.....as I have continuously for six years. But......whether it is just me...or whether Adella actually plays a part.....the fact is we are actually getting better.....I can feel the difference......like someone doing running practice who suddenly notices how much further and faster they are getting. We reached level 44 and Skuldafn in one week! That would have been an impossible dream for me just two years ago. My Skyrim legendary DiD faculty is being augmented by Adella's Trial. Its severity is training me to become....better :) Our Stats just minutes before the end.... https://youtu.be/jZUlhbv7orM Edited by Rick, Jul 2 2017, 12:07 AM.

Sorry to hear it, Rick... You know that regardless of how often we disagree, I'm rooting for you right? ;) |

Ha! Neil, don't know if you've noticed, but we disagree a lot less these days. I reckon you're mellowing in your old age ;) Yep, those high level foes, whether Deathlords, Frost Trolls, Briarhearts or Warmongers can always hand you a death certificate if you take them for granted. This is the point in the game where we are balanced one on one. About six hits is lethal to Deathlords and to Adella (from full health). Lower level foes like Restless and Highwaymen are easily dispatched almost risk free, a far cry from level 20 capability eh! But about three quarters of all foes met at this level will be either Deathlord or Scourge (or equivalent). This is why I always have a hard time trying to describe how play goes down...when I say all the regular bandity types are now easy kills, folk think that means fully crafted legendary is a walk in the park. The reality is I love it at this level with the tough enemies and bosses being well matched to Adella's capability. You're surviving most of the time on half health as you flit from foe to foe and always then just three or four hits from death.....that's where the thrill lies for the likes of me and Sah. Trouble is you need to experience it first hand to feel the sweet balance of the game set up this way.....and truth is....not many folk have the patience or desire to grind through thirty levels of gradually improving capability for the promise of what comes to fruition. and yes, (before I get taken to task for promoting 'my' playstyle) there are other set up combinations for different slider difficulties and various mod additions that have their own sweet spot....not denying that....but for Legendary play imo this is where it occurs. Still...there we are...and dead once more. I expected the Contessa to be stubbing her cigar on my cerebral cortex....chuckles! But she has been oddly quite accepting this time.....almost stoic. Oh..let me tell you this little oddment. Yesterday, we had a few in-game hours to kill so I did the thing where I hand mission control directly Adella....feeling her response and acting upon it.....she lead me to Skybound Watch of all places.....I have no idea why! We killed the bandits inside and I emerged from the other end totally none the wiser as to why she wanted to be there! Most odd. Oh again! she'll kill me (please) if I do not mention her new hair do ;) Posted Image Love her to bits....the little minx :$ Deeper.... Edit....Do I love Adella? Yes, I do!....I have to. A psyche at odds with itself is the route to insanity. A thought to cogitate! ;) Edited by Rick, Jul 2 2017, 06:04 AM.

Looking at Adella, I think I figured out what I've been doing wrong. My female characters are all too "lean." ;) |

Thanks guys :) Glargg, well beauty is in the eye of the beholder....of course. However, I suppose it can not be denied that when others make favourable comments about our charges...one does feel a little glow of pride do we not! Hmmmm.....yes, I have always preferred ladies to have plenty of 'substance'....and for a warrioress with armour and substantial weapons I don't feel right going with the lean Kenyan huntress look. In the buff, Adella has a muscley frame with generous lady curves. Enough to make a red blooded man sweat ;) I admit the two Zeppelins moored at her front are a tad unrealistic without plenty of silicone. However, I can't reduce them even if she permitted it. The fact is her bust is sized by the Diano armour.....in her prisoner tunic she is big....but not that big. Edit..."Three paragraphs of sycophantic Adella ramblings deleted" ;) Edited by Rick, Jul 2 2017, 02:20 PM.

Well, you noticed that I noticed the Zeppelins. Actually, I noticed several times, and then I went back to re-notice. :D |

Yeah, it is a darned good job that she fights things with her back to me.....otherwise she'd be killed frequently because.....well lets just say my mind wouldn't be on the battle :$ When she eventually gets bored of thrusting her generous assets in our faces at every opportunity, she might revert to a more natural armour in which the Dragonboobs take on the true shape of the mod body. In her steel armour or ebony, she is squashed nearly flat. See! Posted Image |

Yes....I must find her a non armour mod for evening wear....too risky outside of city gates though ;) |

You could always try the Neil philosophy... that is run naked outside of the cities, and only wear armor inside of cities to silence wagging tongues... ;) |

I have one character in each TES game who does that. In each case, she's a female Bosmer archer simply named "Wild Elf," and she doesn't enter cities at all. |

Indeed Neil, that would be something, but there's a little problem... Let's get on to the next chapter. Last time i invested a large amount of time to get my crafting skills up. Now, with Smithing and Alchemy at 100, i can finally take the Lord Stone, so first stop is Dawnstar. Once there, i got a little sidetracked and completed Waking Nightmares with Erandur. More than one hour later, i finally reached my initial destination. Exploring the surrounding area, i got in touch with the residents. They weren't happy to see me, but a much bigger foe was waiting nearby... I was hoping to use them as distractions for the dragon, but that didn't work as intended, so i looked for better assistants. My next destination was Ustengrav. |

Aaaaaaand........DEAD.....again! Level 24 with AR170 Bandit Highwayman.....managed to get a good warhammer hit into her....which not only made her weak...but staggered her badly so I couldn't maintain control. He then instantly followed up with the kill hit before she could recover. What was so annoying is she had a few paralyse poisons on her and was just about to use one on him.....bastard! RIGHT THEN.....4th July....an auspicious day for many.....restarting now! |
