The competition has ended!




----------------------------------------------



Fill out the competition entry form below with your info, and post it to join us!

(Player Name)
(Character Name)
(Race)
(Gender)
(Build)
*(Alternate start option)


Note: if you type [(me)] (no parenthesis) in the player name option, it will set your color to match your normal user color, and link to your profile. Or just click the 'me' option in the BBcodes under the Full Reply screen. Example.
* If applicable.

----------------------------------------------


General Rules

- Starting point is from no later than the first tower (with Ulfric and company).
- Mods are allowed, see below.
- No reloading previous saves, even if character did not die (unless a glitch occurred).
- No map based fast travel. Boats and carriages are allowed.
- Once in Helgen Keep, DiD rules apply.
- Update at least once every 3 days (if possible).
- You may restart your game (restarting/starting point is from no later than the first tower [with Ulfric and company]) or create another character after you die. (Various forms are: Human, Zombie, Wraith, Ghost,
Shade, Whisp [Every time you die, you must drop down at least one difficulty level, if possible.])
- You must level up upon attaining a level, at the first safe opportunity (cannot do it in combat). You need not assign perks immediately.
- The player highest score is the only one that counts for the round, meaning someone that has become a Wraith may win over a Human, if their score is high enough.
- You cannot make skills legendary.
- Quest companions like Serana and Barbas have to be taken directly to their quest destination, with minimal side trips.
- No exploits. See list below for the common exploits. Ask if you are unsure about one that you've found. In the event of disagreement, a majority of the players enrolled in the round will decide.
- Be honorable and don't cheat. We do this for fun!

If you feel that someone is competing in an unfair manner or cheating, send a PM to the competition host or a site Administrator.


Rules specific to this round: (These overrule any that coincide with the General Rules)

- Your are allowed to have a single follower and a single dog.
- The follower may not be picked up until Adept difficulty is reached, but you can have a dog as soon as you find one.


----------------------------------------------


Forbidden exploits:

- Fortify/Restoration looping
- Follower/Trainer exploit
- Training against helpless or harmless opponents (training block against low-level opponents [like mudcrabs or wolves], sniping at self-healing trolls from a safe location, sneaking behind NPCs just to raise Sneak, etc.)
- Spamming of skills in no-risk situations, just to raise them (Muffle, Clairvoyance, etc.)


----------------------------------------------


Mods

Mods will be allowed once again, but advantage mods have to balanced with disadvantage mods. For more information on the advantage/disadvantage balance, please visit the Mod Values thread.

Alternate Start: Live Another Life will also be allowed, but you must post which option you choose, and the Necromancer option is prohibited. You are allowed one free death, if you chose the "left for dead" option and it starts you in an unfair circumstance.

If you choose an alternate start that gives a distinct advantage, you must offset it with other mods that provide a disadvantage.

Quests mods that add Dwemer related gameplay are allowed, but offer no bonus points. Use at your own discretion.


----------------------------------------------


Skills

A competitor may choose any skills for this round, but you include your must build style in the entry form (warrior, thief, spellsword, etc.).

- 50 points per automaton and creature slain.
- 50 points Dwemer artifact found. (Artifact list is spoilered at the bottom of the thread.)
- 25 points per Centurion Dynamo Core.

Ariel, would you or Kane (or anyone else) go over my mod list and see if you see any discrepancies please? I pared it down as much as I could to fit. (didn't list texture mods) I'm playing SSE, so if you don't recognize something, let me know.
Thanks!

:nails:

Edit: changed the mod list to balance out....Yikes! Thanks Areial!

I made a couple edit's with the +/- not knowing if they are in the same mod's or not, I did not add them up. There are a couple I don't recognize, but we can let someone else see if they do..

TGIF :D Well Dhark has started. He left the Hall of the Vigilant early in the morning (a ruse to avoid imperial/thalmor patrols). Made his way to the nearby Standing Stone and received the Lord Stone Blessing. Had to kill a woofy and 3 bandits, but nothing too distressing. He has since killed a number of frostbite spiders, more woofies, helped a Jester and an indecisive youngster to get out of Ivarstead. He ran up and down a mountain to deliver some supplies and received a blessing from Kyne for stopping at shrines along the way. He has just met with Gerdur and received her request to go to the Jarl of Whiterun, but first he needs to stop at the local trader and give Camilla a letter . . .

;)

No, he sure doesn't! I'm hoping to have a lot of time on Sunday, though. I'd like to play all weekend long, but it's demo time in the master bedroom!
