@ Bram.. That might be fun to watch.. I don't play DiD outside competition though... Akemmi was the only exception and that only because she started IN the DiD competition. My playstyle is the reason.. I don't play a "cautious" game... even IN competition ... with the exception of Thief and Assassin types. Rick.. My thinking is that the + & - of a modded game are not used to add point's TO the score, but to show if that mod set is hard or easy... as I said in one of the threads, Neil's Deadly Dragon's are going to be harder than mine. Reason, I play on Adept...he tend's to play on Master ( with "vanilla" settings) this would give him a +3 and me a 1... so he could ( potentially) add in 3 mod's that are helpful... BUT his score would still be multiplied the exact same way as say someone playing "purely vanilla" , It pretty much needs to be talked over and the rules set...and be very specific, with the knowledge by all that use mods, that majority or Richard has the final say. Cause even D.D. can be an advantage IF one set's the toggles right.. but that is something that would have to be hashed over.. Really this need's it's own thread... with the idea on the 1st box and a 2nd box that has each mod listed and how it can be used.. obviously those would change ( spoiler's for the particulars.. like the toggles in D.D. ) Neil as it's your idea, I think that you should write it out and keep it up... JMO.. Cause that's something Richard can change ( as Admin) and I'm sure each of us will help with some thing's.. |

I wonder if maybe we've had too frequent competitions lately. I'm getting the impression that enthusiasm is waning. There were not many participants in the last one, and it seemed to peter out before the finish date. |

Glargg that's a possibility and how about instead of a "regular" competition we do a series of small games instead...and just hash out the next round for January. I've just about got a route for a Nekkid Nord Sleigh Run.. combined with a 12 days of Christmas theme.. but can change that easily enough to two separate games. And then maybe add a "Sexy Santa" ( or Elf) picture contest... Neil that would also give you a chance to get the rules for a Mod comp.... and get the mod's set up... but a mini game might be the thing also... Say that Thief competition that no-one is enthused about, but with a twist... add in mod's that would make that fun. Sneaky "elf" ( or Nord or Orc) add in Merry Snowberry ( which give's Christmas themed items) and Unique Treasures..which does just that. See how many "candy canes" one can reverse pickpocket into Kid's pockets... for the Console sweet roll's ( which btw have a lower cost so greater chance of success) . I'm pretty sure I saw one of the "toy" mod's for SE and as we get closer to Christmas that's something that might be added by those interested anyway. This is off course off the top of my head.. but with a day or two of thought I'm sure we can come up with some mini games that even those with busy holiday .. BTW just because it's centered with Skyrim players, does not mean that say FO4 players, Oblivion Player's could not come up with a "sexy" Santa outfit... and the 12 days would also work cross games, cause they really aren't about "cost" but fun... Get more than one or two people and I'll even come up with an Oblivion Nekkid Nord Sleigh Run route.. ( which btw does NOT have to be a Nord. ) Anyway.. let me know.. I'll have the Skyrim route up in a day or so. Kaylea will be running... She is meditating on it now... Posted Image |

They invariably peter out before the finish date.....a couple of times (on Beth) Ive been the only runner on the track and everyone else has already turned the lights out and gone home......leaves a sad feeling I can tell you. When my life shit settles and my head is straight again....and Adella is....well..you know.. We will be back as a duo to be reckoned with... :) (Not withstanding the obvious danger there....you might lose me altogether and have to deal with her directly...Lets hope not huh!) @ Arieal....KAYLEA ! You got her! Deep joy :hugs: My xmas fantasy is complete! Edited by Rick, Nov 28 2016, 08:11 AM.

I know there is a fairly good debate going on about the competitions and level playing fields, so I figured I'd add my two cents. I play for funsies. I probably should have more input that that, but it's not about being the best for me. It's about having fun and playing a different style with my friends. :) |

Kane, that IS why I play.. but over the year's I have gotten some very condescending comment's about how easy my play through's are...because I choose Adept.... I have gotten even more since I switched to PC... Mostly I ignore it...but..BUT.. until and unless someone plays the same way I do.. they have no clue how hard or easy my game is. |

Posted Image I play all my RP's on adept, and range from novice to master in comps. Skyrim just wouldn't be the same if I always played to be the greatest. |

Sometimes I will bump the slider up on RP's.. because I over smithed but mostly I play on Adept. Competition's, unless Legendary is mandatory, the highest I go is Master... Even Master has a bit more "grinding" of skills than I truly like doing...but you can get away with only 2 ( crafts) instead of all three. Edited by Areial, Nov 28 2016, 11:32 AM.

Oof, a legendary competition will be a no-go for me. It just wouldn't be fun unless I had a mod to logically balance damage output/input. |

Don't need a mod.. it's called Adept... damage in and out is balance on Adept.. want them to deal a little bit more and you less...Expert.. X more... Master.. The math is there to read if one wants. A no craft is possible on Adept, get's a bit more hairy on Expert.. Master.. one has to play a verrrry careful game.. Legendary not possible or so I have been told. I'll play along on a Legendary only...but 1st death is the last, cause I don't find the grinding "fun".. it's not a challenge to me, it's a tedious grinding of skills... |

LoL... one can of course run the Nekkid Nord races in clothing.. 0 armor rating.. or completely naked.. For picture purposes and that one was taken last year btw... and posted on the Beth forum.. some modesty covering was needed. I could do a male... but.. Rick would be disappointed.... and he would be wearing pant's at the least...cause I don't want to see the dangling part's for a whole race...lol Of course.. Then again, My Nekkid Nord could be Wolfgar...and he could be ahead, by a head... and not the one wearing the Santa hat. :ugh: now that's a mental picture... :rofl: |

...and there is actually the crux of the matter. Like you, I play for enjoyment, competition or not. I intend to have a good time playing, and that often means I take unnecessary chances just to see what the heck will happen. I don't like Legendary (though I do play it occasionally) because of the grinding both in combat and the necessary crafting... Uber armors are cool, and I like my characters in nothing better... ;) The thing about the condescension of many of those who play on legendary can be extremely galling, because without a way to measure your game, they have no clue what they are talking about. On top of that, they have a habit of just not listening when you try tell them because they are convinced that legendary is the toughest game in town and nothing else matters. Eh, okay, /rant... :) |
