I really like the Dwemer scholar idea. Great idea! The current round is pretty close to my werewolf idea, so I'm okay with bypassing that. As jewelry crafting, I've been taking this round as no creating. However, if it gets allowed, thats fine with me. I just wish I hadn't sold all that silver... I just Glargg's note on Cora. Sorry she went down! I was thinking of her while selling off a bunch of spell tomes, including conjure flame atronach. Edited by Rafer, May 4 2017, 02:39 AM.

R.I.P. Skali... sorry for his demise! If everyone really likes the Scholar idea, I will work on refining the premise before we start chatting about it.. I had only written the short idea. I have a third idea, but it's still in the one line form...and needs much more work before I bring it out. |

Aw guys :( But you knew this would happen. It's your levels! Baddies get badder....but you can't raise your capability at the same rate....ultimately at Thug / Highwayman / Wight level (15 to 18) they all get to be one hit lethal and your hours are numbered. Sorry to hear of the casualties of course, but it's to be expected... FWiW....in terms of probability of survival.....glarggs Cora had the best chance imo due to the non contact strategy of using conjuration (cast and run)....plus the slower levelling, but even there she was ham strung by the shortage of really powerful summons needed to defeat the badest bosses. (Bet glargg would have given his right arm for a Storm Atronach tome eh) Good game though....hats off to anyone getting through it alive :) |

Well of course, the nature of the challenge... find those few skills that allow one to progress as far as possible. But their is a bonus.. if you do the math, with so few skills you are only going to lvl so far.. then sloooow down, but your "skill" will help to keep you alive.. and the odd's are in your favor about finding those items, be they tomes, weapons or enchanted jewelry that will help you survive! |

Surviving into the late 20's seems to be the key. By then, you could have glass weapons, and will hopefully have found enough gear to increase damage output. |

R.I.P. Skali... Sorry to hear that news. I don't know how to tell you this Kane, but I personally believe that by the time you hit late 20s level, you're gonna be out of time. I mean, right now, I'm level 13 and I've already spent 23 +change hours. If I progress at the same rate I have been (highly doubtful), by 40 hours I'd be about level 26 at best. IMO the reason for the slow leveling is simply a lack of ability to acquire higher level skills for Destruction, and a lack of ability to temper weapons to a point where they really do a lot of damage. Enchanting may be the only way to level any faster, and to that end I'm considering taking on Gathrik. I mean, you can't level enchanting if you can't keep enough filled soul gems to recharge anything. I think that by recharging the two or three staffs I carry when I can without wasting a souls gem,, and a orcish hammer that delivers shocks, Ive gone up one level in enchanting so far.

Hmm, that could indeed hinder things. I think I'm at level 11 in 8 hours, so it would be close. |

So, I decided ther4e was no time like the present if I was going to try Warlord Gathrik. Better to do it while HE'S at low levels, eh? ...NOT! Weelll... Taking on Gathrik was not such a great idea! In fact... It was a good day to die! R.I.P.

Nobody had mentioned bounties, so it's your call, Host. :) I think I'll take a little break before thinking of a Wrathful Wraith Tubasha... :) Edited by neildarkstar, May 4 2017, 10:39 AM.

R.I.P. Tubasha! Yeah, Gathrik always sucks. Even on novice, he can be a bear. :( I'll check the rules on the bounty thing, but I think it said no buying of anything, but nothing about bounties. |

Yeah, it was the killcam that got Cora, too. She had more than half health left (that's not much, but still...) and the orc was down to a sliver. She was frying him with one hand and freezing him with an Ice-Spike staff, and then suddenly boom, killcam of orc slapping her down with that big two-hander. Cora was pretty much hitting the wall. She had just reached level 11, which is when you first start to find apprentice-level spell tomes, so she was still using novice spells. Her Flame Atronach was starting to fade against the tougher guys, which meant that the meat shield was becoming ineffective. If I start a Zombie Cora, she will definitely be given a different skill set. On the bounty thing, I can't imagine disallowing them to be paid. There are just some necessary pay-outs, like the 30 gold for the spell to get into the College, or the cost of the boat to Solstheim. |

Well... that's a case of, we didn't think about it... so it was never brought up.. The boat ride, would be like a carriage ride and I know we discussed that... pretty sure it was allowable. Bounties. ..no reason for that to be disallowed. . Would cause issues every time you went to a town. |

Great! (on the bounties thing) What got Tubasha killed was two things. First, a faulty memory on my part... I really should have used her Berserker power, but I forgot it. Second, the game forced an extra swing with the Silver Greatsword she was using. That swing slowed her by half a second, and that was all it took. I put the video in the Competition Video thread |
