The competition has officially begun!

You have 60 hours/4 weeks!


Post your characters name, race and gender!

Example below:

(Your name)
(Char's name)
(Race)
(Sex)
(Difficulty)


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. If you are new to this or added mods since the last time you played, send your mod list to me (Richard).
- 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. (If you use an alternate start, DiD rules apply immediately.)
- 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)
- No mods that add storage (this includes mod houses).
- 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. 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)

- Difficulty must be set to expert at all times.
- Summons are allowed.

I am unsure if I'm gonna join the competition. Seems like a lot of my mods give me an advantage, which is a shame.

Pretty hard to let go of mods that actually make your game. You could just manage this one and see how it goes, then maybe feel like doing the next one!

True, Sere, but I'd like to join the competition just this once. I have no problem in disabling some mods.


My mod list is this one:

Richard I wouldn't sweat the small stuff. We're all here for fun and I'm pretty sure you'll find a balance for your mods. Haven't tallied up, but if it's close then no worries. I myself will be more interested in the spooky stories that go along with everyone's daedric artifact retrieval far more than stat numbers for "winning". :boo:

I'm also using the uncapper. It makes me half as slow to level up. Some skills level up as normal but some take even longer to level up so, but I get two skill points and more health/mana/stamina, so it's somewhat balanced out.

I don't think you have anything to worry about, Richard.

Based on what you've marked, and the things you're not planning to use, your mods look to balance out pretty well.

I think that most of us, when we mod, are looking for a balance of convenience and challenge, in other words, we go for a balanced game. :)

Ditto... what Glarrg and Bram said...

If your not playing a mage.. the spells mods are pretty moot.. IF you play a mage, and feel that the "spell mods" make it them advantageous , I'd add ASIS this allow's NPC's to use the spell's from mod's, improves AI, allow's NPCs to use potions.. skills etc.. basically it level's the playing field somewhat. Their is a newer version that does more ...ASIS- Improved that does even more.

Plus all in all, it make's the game more balanced... "You are not the only Intelligent" being in Skyrim... Just a thought.. but I'd try the mod first.. cause it does change the way the NPC's behave.

Edit: I will decide tomorrow which character I want to use.

Alright, thanks for the help!
Yeah, I try to make my game as balanced and challenging as I can. Right now my current character is playing on legendary, simply because master started to get a bit easy.

I usually play as a spellsword. Heavy armor, one handed weapon, a shield in case it's needed and, obviously, magic. I just enjoy playing that way.
Oh some spells do give me an advantage, so I might add ASIS. Seems like a cool mod, and it would certainly add some challenge to the game.
