Areial, I also thank you for setting this up, and a heartfelt thank you for taking me "under your wing" and helping me out with not just this event but elsewhere on the boards too. :wub: glargg, great job! While I was doing my usual thing, you were doing The Great Skyrim Treasure Hunt and your pile of loot is proof of your efforts. :grats: |

One thing I meant to say about this... I think this round was made much easier for me since I played at Novice level, and I believe the result argues strongly for either forced minimum difficulty, or for multipliers as we've had in the past. And here's a hint for how I was able to move around freely, and get to treasures quickly... I started out by doing the Main Quest up to fetching the horn, and stopped there, forcing dragons to stay home. Then I took advantage of the 10 "Emblems" on the 7000 steps, making all of the animals friendly; the result was that I could run anywhere I wanted with a minimum of struggle. |

Congratulations to all you guys! It sounds like you did well and had a good time while doing it! :) I would have liked to have joined in, but my mind just wasn't right. Now, the Nekkid Nord Challenge, I'm going to be there with PS glargg, I'm just not understanding what you mean by no dragons when doing the MQ up to fetching the horn... My last character Tillie, (RIP) was on her way to High Hrothgar for the first time when she encountered a dragon and killed it. After selling off the bones etc., she headed that way again, and was caught in the open just below White River Watch by a 2nd dragon who killed her down by the river. |

Neil, I meant through fetching the horn, but not completing "Blade in the Dark." If you refuse Delphine, by selecting "I don't have time for this," you can indefinitely postpone all dragon attacks on towns, and you will only encounter dragons at or near their lairs. |

Oh.... gosh, neil. Didn't realize you hadn't got that figured out. It's what I'm doing in this game with LotD - I really do NOT want to mess with the whole thing, so I just shut Delphie baby off. Eventually, I may finish the MQ on this girl - but not until I really want to go there. |

Normally, I just consider dragons to be part of playing the game... but I can definitely see where no dragons would be an advantage during a competition. |

hmm Glargg, thing is, this round was designed for the players to have fun .. sure notes can be compared to see who got the most of what.. for me... as long as everyone had fun, then the game was a success.. and we all won. Do ya think that would work with Deadly Dragons? The spawn is set different.. Most of my characters don't even start the MQ.. but still have dragons. Neil... Bell's.. whistles.. as long as it has no armor rating!! :P |

And.... I consider dragons superfluous entirely. Not that I compete - of course, I don't. But really, as far as my enjoyment of the game - dragons ARE superfluous. I don't need them, don't want them, and they add nothing to my game at all. |

I use Deadly Dragons, and I've never seen a dragon other than Alduin before handing the Dragon Stone to Farengar... ...What's funny is that I generally don't use armor anyway... It's noisy, slows me down and just tends to chafe in all the wrong places. 'Course a kick in the bells can be serious without it, eh? ;)
Different strokes. I'm an adrenaline junkie in real life... For me, risk and reward go hand in hand, and above all I have to have a little danger on a regular basis... A game that provides no risk is (for me) like passing up a fine well spiced Mexican dish for a bowl of pee warm chicken soup. :) |

Eh. I get my risks IRL. Games are fun, as long as they don't produce a "risk == < reward". Which is what usually happens. Games for me are a TOTAL escape from reality. As such, I do NOT want to think about "if I do the wrong thing, this character is toast". SO not my thing. |

I like the dragons in the game on my terms. So, with some characters, I use an alternate start and never see a dragon, ever. And on some characters, I have a "hold" on dragons by stopping at "Blade in the Dark," so I can go fight them at their lairs, but I don't have them landing on my head. And on yet other characters, I let dragons be dragons. :) Incidentally, a dragon actually landed on Fudd's head after his first visit to High Hrothgar, right near the Ritual Stone and White River Watch. It didn't end well for the dragon. :D Edited by glargg, Apr 12 2017, 11:14 PM.

In vanilla the trigger for starting dragon appearances is actually "Dragon Rising" Once you kill Mirmulnir dragons can occure in game....until then nothing roosts on Word Walls and nothing flaps overhead. You do have a %age chance of unluckily getting a dragon on the 7k steps....a real butt clencher cuz there is no where to hide and recover. Typically it will getcha around shrine four with pilgrim Karita. A standard drahon on legendary burns around 60 health per second....yeah...that fast.... |

Yeah, I had it happen just once, to get a dragon up there on my first visit, so it must be a very low percentage. Either that, or my characters are just lucky. :) |

Lapuaboy, do you have a final score to post? (Or did I miss it?) |

Kane, Back on post #68 I listed my final stats but didn't figure the score. 39 vanilla eggs and 12 vanilla uniques comes to 6390 :hi: |

Can't you come up with something for summer equinox? I mean, sure, neither Tamriel nor the western nations of Earth regularly celebrate the solstices and equinoxes (well, hey, we have 4th of July in the US.... sort of "nearby") - but that doesn't mean you can't do something in the summer to mark the equality of day and night.... |
