This is just how I envisioned the round when I thought it up... but it need's to be hashed out.. and any details fine tuned!

So, what about points for dwarven armor bits and weapons? Though a "scholar" doesn't necessarily seem the type for heavy dwarven....

Oh, not only is Clockwork perfect for this, so is LotD - because of the airship, and the "inherent" Dwemer scholar Madras, and the crafting....

But lordy - that would need a LOT more than 50 hours. More like 500 hours. Eh, so probably not a good idea.

I had thought about LotD and Wheel's of Lull.. but both are HUGE... and would take up the whole time... plus I don't think WoL is SSE.

We could at some point's for collecting.. something. Arm's and Armor.. they can be crafted if the person chooses Smithing, .. Dwemer book's, Centurion dynamo's ( the animated ones) might be better choices...

Eh, LotD isn't SSE either - relies on SKSE.

Ah.... I had not checked, but I figured it might be to large.. SKSE is always a factor too.

You know.... once SKSE64 lands, you could think about a really long playthrough with those huge mods - a major competition. Maybe MONTHS...

I'm working on some idea's for a long competition.. a few of the really long mods would help.. But because of the people we have to make sure we aren't leaving out anyone that might be on 360 or on either PS... ( they DO seem to get hind Teat)

So just like I said Clockwork would be a bonus.. anything that we can't find a work around for others.. would also have to be a "bonus".

BUT.. a Pure died in the wool Treasure Hunter round... LotD would be perfect..
actually.. now this IS just a base idea.. need's much much thought and tweaking

Yeah, I agree! Clockwork is.... so PRIMO....

Needs thought and so on true. But sounds like a really fun thing!

I DO try... it get's boring doing the same thing's... running the same quest-lines... but what makes it fun for RP players, is the personality & Story.. for DiD the challenge and personality, but the challenge becomes... dull when everything is same same...

Or it is for me anyway..

Eh, I do get it - but I personally haven't a competitive bone in my body.

I'd really love to read the posts over a major dwemer playthrough though. Seriously - that would be so much fun....

Funny thing.. I really don't have much of a competitive side.. I have more fun coming up with the idea's.. playing is fun, but for me it's not about wining, just about playing along.

I'm not really competitive either, but I like to challenge myself, and these rule-limited DiD games are a good way to satisfy that urge.

Seriously though, this should be a lot of fun. Heck by the time you're able to enter some of the ruins, they will already be deadly! :scared:

Immersive Armor's can add some feel to this round, too. The Dwemer mage robes it adds are pretty cool looking.

yes they are... and it should be fun...

Dangerous, yes, why I think a follower is needed...

The limitation's I set in my initial post are pretty well thought out for this round.

I agree on the Centurion Dynamo Cores - they would be cool to collect, since killing the big guys are almost required to get them!

Some other Dwemer artifacts could be included, too:

  • Keening
  • Volendrung
  • Dwarven Black Bow of Fate
  • Aetherial Staff/Crown/Shield
  • Books
  • Zephyr
  • Spellbreaker
  • Dwemer Puzzle Cube
  • Visage of Mzund

OK.. added that list..

Sere...I'm sorry, I think I might have missed what you meant last night.. I had thought you might have meant all Dwemer arm's and armor.. and never thought about some of the specific ones!

Well, I was mish-mashing in my mind. Small points for picking up normal dwemer arms and armor, whether worn or not, plus the rarer "artifacty" kind would get more points - maybe not Zephyr, 'cause it's so easy to come by....
