Neil, Sorry to hear about Aahni :( You did have a great run of it though :thumb: I REALLY admire your skill and playstyle with a "minimalist" approach. Dwemsey turned 43 and we have been on Legendary for a while, with 41 hours played IIRC. I'm working the TG questline, and then will head to Solstheim. Unless I do something stupid (which is a distinct possibility!) I should make it to the time limit. Yeah, she's that built. I was so afraid of dying and having to start over that I have made a stealth tank that is just a wee bit over the top. I need to think about that. At the end of this run, whether she dies or runs out of time, I will try my hand at a mace and shield Orc...Orcestra...and get closer to the action. Maybe I'll even chill out a bit on the crafting. Maybe. |

Thanks ever'body. Aahni was great fun, and I don't think we've seen the last of her. She really is a viable character, and would have likely made it to the time limit if I just hadn't gotten in a hurry with only 7 hours left and disregarded stealth trying to run cross country. |

Tum-de-dumm-de- dumdum... Oh, Hi there. yeah, uhh... I was busy uhmmm doing... uhhh something... yeah, something important and exciting, like uhh... Okay, okay! It's only been a few hours and I'm already going out of my mind with boredom, so... I guess I'll have to enter another character since there is still over three weeks left competition-wise. I don't want to do another Aahni just now, so I thought I'd go in a completely different direction. Maybe. Here's what I came up with: neildarkstar Al (You can just call me Al cuz my name is, well... Al...)

Dwemsey just finished Irkgthand. Only the second time I've been through it due to not getting into the Thieves Guild thing, but I really like that dungeon. It was crammed full of Gloomlurkers and Shadowmasters that are arrow sponges deluxe, so lots of fun to be had by all! I even conjured a Dwarven Sphere multiple times so he could get some action ;) . Yeah the Aetherial Staff can be wonky, but I think it's pretty fun, and those spheres tank better than a frosty IMO. About killed Dwemsey jumping from Calcelmo's balcony after getting the etching...lost most of her health and boy I would have been really ticked at myself if her run ended that way. I'm 47 hours played and will head over to Solstheim tomorrow and see what trouble we can get into. Having a great time :thumb: BTW Neil it's great to see you back at it! |

Irkngthand....oh gods.....the mere name make my neck hairs stand up. Do you know what it feels like to lose a really high level char three times in the same ruin. Nemesis. When we get there it is invariably in the TG quest. The place is heaving with Falmer Warmingers and Sphere masters. But worst are the traps....not the weak Draugr tomb traps..no!......Dwemmer and Falmer traps....big health eaters, especially when you are weak and running from Falmer. I saw those small neat slots in the floor for the first time in that place. How was I to know? I planted m'lady right on top of one. "Kerchang!" "Thwop thwop thwop thwop" DEAD in a second. Another time running up stairs to safety...straight through a hard to spot trip wire....Falmer claw trap...hidden behind a pilar...until triggered then "Swoosh crump!" It swings out and round ending her on those short stairs. Then there's the Warmongers and probably even worse Chaurus Hunters. Irkngthand.....probably the most evil ruin in the game! <shudders> Edited by Rick, Jun 10 2017, 05:22 AM.

All I remember of Irkngthand was a LOT of Falmer and the swimming pool. Heh... Honestly, I'm really not expecting too much from Al, though I could get a pleasant surprise. I'm just not going to hurry trying to do a lot with her. For an Altmer, she's easy on the eyes, and that hurts nothing at all... :) Y'know Rick, the Warlord Gathrik is my nemesis. Sometimes he's easy but usually he's just plain indestructible. Edited by neildarkstar, Jun 10 2017, 06:23 AM.

<shakes head> TG... Irkngthand? 3 times through with the TG.. 0 kills...0 killed... get away from Ick and bick.. you can lead by a good margin OR in some places.. hide til those two nit-wit's kill everything in there. OH yes it takes a while at higher levels.. but they will. and that is 2 times on 360... so vanilla AI... I don't consider what they do, because as "master thieves" they should be better at sneak than my character.. but they are worse than Barbus at sneaking. Neil... good ta see ya back! ya know.. the good on the eyes, is why I decided on male this time... errr was going to be heavy armor only... but.. but... <snicker> Edited by Areial, Jun 10 2017, 08:09 AM.

Wow, it looks like I am the president and only member of the "I like Irky" club B-) I'll see if I still give it a thumbs up after I take my Orc through. She'll be melee centric, and I know that's a whole different ballgame. Yeah, your Nightingale companions, in addition to sucking skeever tail in their trap avoidance skill, on Legendary their damage output is pathetic. The two of them were battling two frostbite spiders...I let them go at it while I looted Falmer and still had to kill the damn spiders for them. Mercer could handle himself pretty well, these two not so much! If nothing else, they provide another target for the Falmer to focus on. :tes: Edited by Lapuaboy, Jun 10 2017, 07:10 PM.

Hides-the-Bones is dead, killed by the Forgemaster. Got hung up in the scenery (the edge of one of the ramps), and got too distracted getting loose to see how low the red was getting... Reloaded just for the revenge factor, and (of course) she killed him easily when it no longer counted. I was finding myself at odds with the character anyway, and was perhaps not trying as hard as I should have. Hidey was giving me a hard time with the idea of joining the TG, and didn't want to go anywhere near Helgen (to start the MQ), so I was kind of at a loss for what to do next. I may restart "zombie" with one of my other three candidates, or with somebody else. Gotta think about it. Spoiler: click to toggle

I don't mind Irky. 'Course, I've never gone through it on higher than adept, and when I did that my sneak was so high that I walked past all of the baddies. |

Sorry to hear about Hides-the-Bone glargg... It's for certain though that there are a lot of distractions at the Aetherium Forge. |
