Adella will have trouble with Dragon priests for sure......her armour is just starting to get into the feasible range (AR400+) Glass.

.....but it can't go up much more without strong smithing potions and the Alchemy just isn't boosted enough to get those yet.

But the biggie is.....her resistance amounts to just the Lord stone and potions at 50% strength.

Enchanting is like 70.....but unperked....so useless atm for making fortify apparals, so.....

Against serious Robe Wearers and Elder Lizards shes dead!

and if she gets killed.....and its my fault....I am so dead!
She needs to help so wayward lovers. ;)

A question for our host Mr. Gornevan. Earlier in a post you clarified that you get 100 points for an unlocked word OR you get 300 points for a fully unlocked shout, but one cannot count both scores.

My question is, if you kill a Frost dragon and it's a Named dragon does the same logic apply that you can only count the Named dragon score. Seems pretty simple, but I just want to get it right.

:cheers:
Only the name counts (Frost Dragon, Blood Dragon, *Insert name of dragon here*, etc) so, if a named dragon is using a frost shout, it's still a named dragon and in no way involved with the frost dragons.

Thank you artist formerly known as Gornevan now Richard :) Didn't mean to confuzzle things, but what I meant was when I met Mirmulnir he was an Elder Dragon (not his shout his look). Which was the why behind my clarification request.

He's up there pretty high. If memory servers he was nearly level 30 when he began the MQ.

Kane and Bram, outstanding you guys! Woo!!

Jonna has about 20 hours left, she'll have to focus. She is still short 3 souls due to broken random spawns, but here's her kill sheet so far:

Spoiler: click to toggle



She's got the Elder Scroll and should head back to the Time Wound, but she wants to do some dragon hunting first.

White-knuckle moment in Alfthand against a Falmer. She was hurting pretty badly and should have pulled back to cast Fast Healing, but being more dragon than is strictly healthy for a mortal she went for a power attack instead. Falmer did one of those overhead jumping maneuvers. Someone got a finishing move, but due to the darkness and Jonna’s low health I couldn’t tell right away if it was a kill-cam or a death-cam. :O

Also due to darkness (I accidentally have Purity active, big mistake) she thought she was safe from the Blackreach dragon on a ledge, but it turned out she was on a staircase. Oops. Then she ran across a bridge while ‘strategically repositioning’ and on fire, straight into the Dwarven Centurion that she had not awakened earlier. Well, he was awake now and not interested in fighting the grounded dragon. Her Archery went up a lot in Blackreach.

She is level 41 and has a ton of alchemy ingredients and pelts, so I think I’ll have her push for 45 in the hope of getting some Ancient dragons. Sneak, Illusion, Conjuration, Destruction, Heavy Armor, and One-Handed are all at or close to her beginning level, so it would also be easy to pick up another skill for those levels. She found a Conjure Familiar tome and has enough magicka to cast it. That might be the way to go if she can’t get there before topping out Smithing and Alchemy.

Ok wait ... what now? LOL ... I'm confused.

Unrelenting Force you get one word .. then the gray beards give you two. So then you want it to be just one word of the shout? They also give you whirlwind sprint ... so take that one off?

so then that is 12 instead of 15, 3 fully unlocked, for a modified score of 8525?

I think Richard changed the wording slightly so that it makes a bit more sense now...

***Word of power unlocked = 100
Fully unlocked shout (3 words of power)= 300
Dragon Priest Masks= 500
****


Not that I am getting anywhere fast...just got our second dragon

I think we can just ignore the line about 300 points for a fully unlocked Shout. I thought that because it was specified it meant that there was a bonus for unlocking a whole Shout, but it’s just the 100 points for each unlocked Word.

FreeWitch, I believe that every unlocked Word counts, no matter how you unlock it. So you just count your unlocked Words once, regardless of if they required a soul to unlock or if any other Words in that Shout are unlocked. If the Word is white and not greyed out on that page, give yourself 100 points for it.


Added: I just counted Jonna's Words, and she has 26 unlocked, 3 still locked, and 2 souls unused. So her Shout score would be 2600. When she uses the souls it will be 2800.

Grits! - Thank you! I think I was getting confused with the fully unlocked shout too. The way you explained it makes more sense. I'll load up Jo's last game and recount and fix the total.

Thank you :)

Sah sweetie :hugs: how lovely of you to pop in. You really must tell us all about your adventures. We are still waiting for a certain video, hmmm?

Now then, time for a quickie update.
Well, not much good news I am afraid.
The hopeless host I am unfortunate enough to be saddled with, has spent most of our time running me from town to town for ingots and soul gems, and doing alchemy until I am sick of it darlings.

The result of all this shenanigans is that I am now level 33, with all three crafts around 90. However, we have managed a paltry 5 dragons, and those were by accident. So I have already used half of my available time on NOTHING. I do not think I am even in with a chance now!

I am very disappointed that he has taken soooo long to ready my likeness for action and leaving BFB until later was a huge error on his part. I will provide a full skills update and comprehensive progress this evening.

When Rick goes to dreamland tonight, his Contessa will have a little surprise for him... :bat:
It could have been different....I would have been nice if he had put the effort in.

Well, I suppose the romp is enjoyable enough, but I would have liked to have felt as though I was in competition. The irony is that he should have been more than adequate at this. The old goat is clearly slipping. Hmmm.....perhaps I need to sharpen my spurs :mad:
