I believe that all end tables, wardrobes, and dressers in the game are safe. There may be an exception somewhere, for someplace that undergoes a scripted respawning, but as a general rule it's true.

Tubasha's been busy, and we are liking playing by the new rules much, much better. Video down in the standalone shorts thread...

I must have missed something. What are the currently proposed rules?

Sorry Rafer... There's been a lot of discussion as a result of things we discovered while running test characters. things aren't nailed down yet completely, but a rough outline goes something like this:

Skills:
Either 3 or perhaps 4 (as yet undetermined) player picks.
Speech and lockpick are freebies

Limited crafting:
Smithing: Temper only, no weapon or armor creation
Alchemy: You can use potions, you just can't make any potions
Enchant: recharge weapons or staves, can't enchant anything new

No training except reward training (like with Amren for instance).

You can sell items you salvage as loot or find, but you can't buy anything.
You can't buy a horse, or a house, or new garters... (I'm unsure if you can rent a bed or buy an ale at the inn Areial needs to give us some input there.)

No followers

Points:
1 point per dungeon cleared, 1 point per 1,000 coin accumulated. (total acquire, I think)

Armor:
Shields only, no penalty for incidental armor skill increase. You can't use anything except shields.

I may not have this entirely correct, and some of it may still be subject to change... :)

Thanks, Neil. Looks fun to me. I'll join this round unless the rules change significantly from this.

I think renting a room for the night would be fine...better than passing out in the common room... after that tankard of Ale.. I see no problem.. for immersion reasons.. about buying alcohol.. as long as it has no stat's... I know some does.. some doesn't.

Same with carriage rides.. I don't see a problem with those.

The only thing missing... everyone plays on Expert...

Ah, difficulty... of course. I KNEW I was forgetting something, eh? :)

Anyway, I also think we should get the number of skills nailed down as quickly as possible. If I was to have to vote, I'd say pick any three skills to go with the half-crafts and the freebies, and that would do. I think two is a little unworkable, especially since block is kind of essential unless you're going dual wield one-hand.

EDIT: Damn! It just occurred to me that I forgot to mention no mage robes...

3 seems enough to me with all the freebies and 1/2 crafts. yeah, no mage robes.. ( I think hoods should be fine).

Now the question is... archery or destruction... finding *good* bow's is pretty easy, enough spells, not so much... but add's to the challenge!

Snippety snip...
Seriously. If you want people to join up playing - you can't make it where it's.... well.... like Rick's "survival" thing....
Just catching up with what's goin' down :)

Sere...thanks for the air time...er' I think, :ermm: but you know the principle of Nekkid Nord is in fact closely aligned with the ethos behind Adella's Way.

That is why all the nerfing rules are designed to make the Nekkid play a real challenge. Too easy isn't fun for a lot of people....risk and danger are the spices eh!
The only difference between this and Adella's Trial...is the way the balance is achieved, and Adella's extreme long term'edness (surviving all 8 Destinies). They are both tough and DiD.

Onto the Comp set up....well it's looking good.....whoever swung the vote to keep the now defunct 'crafting version' did you a favour it seems <looking at floor, shuffling> This set up looks a whole lot better....well done Trace.

My only thought would be.....why not consider just keeping to the Nekkid Nord principles we used in the x country races....zero AR - other than shield...(meaning the iron or Imperial ones) and using only what you found in Helgen before leaving the cave....plus any racial powers and the magic that comes as standard with the race and zero crafting rises period. Acquired potions only....Real Nekkid Nord.

I might kick the dust off the x360 for this round.

Good work Trace....kudos hon.

To each their own! Hockey is the only sport I watch. I used to watch football, but the culture is trash. Baseball is too boring to watch on TV (for me) and the Pirates are a joke.

The main reason is motivation. In testing, Neil and I came to the conclusion that it got to be "not fun" really quickly if the only reason for going through a dungeon is to kill everything inside, and the loot is of no value.

I need to see some kind of character development in order to feel motivated. :)

Fair enough, although trying to kill everyone whilst surviving a DiD run is pretty focusing I find.

I guess my perspective is somewhat blinkered because my er' 'char' is not a clean slate that can be developed from scratch....she's already there, leaving nothing to aim for.......yes, I am being very careful what I say.....she gets almost everything now... :'(

Yeah, it's a different perspective, I guess. I like my characters well enough, but I rarely go more than a couple of hundred hours with one. And I'm not sure how well I'd do with starting over from scratch with the same character.

I think the true "naked nord" thing would have worked with the egg and treasure hunt we just did.
