When it came to Skyrim, I always did the Companions quest line early on to get the werewolf blood. All the perks, none of the cons. No one attacks you on sight (unless in wolf form). Immune to diseases. No sunlight damage. Plus the wolf form looks way more appealing. The only real con is the lack of rest bonus from sleeping. But let's face it, the only time we sleep in the game is when we get that urge to go to a shady inn where we get kidnapped by a crazy chick.
I transformed into a vampire lord when I had to fight Mercer Frey. I could see him even when he turned invisible and I had all the fun of wondering what Karliah and Brynjolf are thinking when I transformed. Worth it.
Reminds me of how when Grizzy sent a mugger after Smi77y so he bought the whole base and satellite laser to auto target and explode him while he was screwing around with the others in the middle of downtown.
You should do the opposite of this. Abilities/weapons you thought were trash but ended up being amazing. I remember when I first played Half life 2 and got the gravity gun. Thought it was stupid picking up trash and throwing it at zombies. How wrong I was.
Reminds me of the magic armour from Twilight Princess.. You'll never take damage in battle! "Yes please!" It will constanty drain your money and stops working when you run out! "wait wha?"
Did it eat the cash or was it transfered to the shop who sold it to you?? If its the later option we should invent an armor like that and sell hundreds of them :D
It's a real genre shift. It goes from 3D platformer to open-world survival horror when you leave the newbie zone. On the plus side, your income/profession limits are removed, and you can unlock a _bunch_ of different fast-travel options. It's almost a completely different game after level 18.
Being an adult you can do what you want, but you shouldn't and you constantly have to worry about job, wife and kids and time is stuck on fast forward...
Lucas M Yeah, debuffs like those are tough to dispel. It doesn't help that a lot of players who came up in the previous episodes (many of whom since joined the dev team) got to power-level before a bunch of patches and balance "fixes" blew up the debuffs' %chances, and then complain about how _they_ never had problems with the progression system...
you weren't supposed to be attacked at stage 4 vampirism, even without being a vampire lord, at least not in the dawnguard DLC, tho it was a known bug to get attacked at that stage in dawnguard, which sucks, but hey, Bethesda, bugs are kinda their thing so
Xavier Riddick I mean, it's not THAT disappointing anymore. It's actually become a fun game. What isn't great is how badly EA (and possibly Bioware) screwed over ME fans by shafting it for Anthem, which singlehandedly makes me never want to touch Anthem with a 12-foot stick.
Hind-D & Apache: Are we a joke to you? Chinook & Blackhawk: Um... we are the ones giving helicopters a bad name. We really have no business in live-fire areas.
But they are extremely useful since they can be used as a way to drop supplies and troops into areas that they can’t enter through normal means or would take way too long otherwise.
At the risk of quibbling, _technically_ the cost of Mike installing the orbital laser and unleashing it on that one griefer was still significantly less than what Andy dropped on that nightclub...
I'm amazed the Armageddon spell even works. You can't exactly test that sort of power out to make sure it's functioning correctly. ...I mean, you _can,_ but then there's not much point writing down the spell anywhere.
Think of magic like programming. You make a spell that removes water from something. Then edit the spell to change water to life. It very likely won't work, but if it does: Bang everything everywhere dies.
Or you get it to work within a certain distance and power it up to kill everyone. Or it was always meant to be used within a protective spell and no one thought to use it outside of that and ergo didn't account for the power.
+Sam Moyer More like: You edit the spell to change water to life. The -compiler- ritual informs you about 900 warnings and 15 errors, many of which involve attempts at implicit typecasting. And when cast, the spell crashes with an exception you don't recognize, so you have to consult -Google- a number of ancient scrolls to figure out what went wrong.
Cyfrik I personally think of it like a scaling thing. 1 stick of dynamite makes a bang, but it won't blow up a town. But use enough dynamite and the entire town becomes a smoking ruin. So for this you take a spell designed to insta-kill people, then increase the area of effect to the entire planet.
You forgot the Thermonuclear Explosion spell from Quest for Glory 5. This spell was the wizard's reward for a fairly hard quest about halfway through the game (the fighter and thief got actual good rewards). When you cast it you get a nice cut scene of a nuclear explosion going off centered on the area you were at, which destroys a large part of the map, then you get the game over screen. Speaking of the Experimental MIRV. I had a friend who wanted to see how some of the cool weapon animations in Fallout 3, so I went into god mode and started killing people in Megaton. I watched one of the invulnerable NPCs run into my house. I was curious so I followed him inside and saw him run over to where I had the MIRV of display next to a stack of ammo. He picked it up and started chasing me around Megaton while firing wildly.
I remember an old RPG where you could get a bow that shot an entire quiver of arrows at once, doing really good damage but it totally wasn't worth stocking literal tons of arrows for your party's inventory. The weapon became the best weapon in the game much later, however, when you got the ever-full quiver.
@@pharaohsmagician8329 It was like... 30 years ago. I don't remember the name, just the gatling bow combo. Also you had some weapons that outright had negative stats. Good luck finding it!
The number of times I used fatman in fallout 3-4 and had it kill no one because a 2 foot concrete rail or a stair was in the way and it did almost no damage to any mobs blew my mind. The damage tracking for explosions in fallout has always been so unbelievably bad.
I didn't have issues with low walls or the like with my fatman shots...I rarely had the things land anywhere near the targeted enemy (more often than not, they dropped early in their arc and landed closer to me than their target...even when fired out of VATS (since VATS can mess with the shots, too)). That said, I did make some use of explosives in New Vegas...the character in question was a former demolitions expert, so I focused on explosives over firearms (but I did pull with a weak weapon on occasion, just to have the enemies run headlong into my minefield).
The Boots of Blinding Speed were awesome. I used them extensively. I just countered the Blindness with some nightvision enchantments. You lost the ability to see shadows and the boots needed frequent repair. But the Speedbonus was so worth it.
I always played orc in Morrowind and with their innate magic resistance the boots darkened the screen but I could still see and blitz around the world like a green road runner. The boots were always a mandatory item for me greatly cut down on travel time!
Here's a trick regarding Fallout 2. Each time you create a save file, the game actually creates a folder with various files containing the data for your character (stats, inventory, quest advancement etc.) as well as the data for each zone of the game (the NPCs still alive, the items in the containers, etc.) With that knowledge of how the system works, it is possible to pass on the hintbook from an endgame character to a new game one, for instance by placing the book in a specific container of a specific zone, then exiting the game, discreetly swapping out the save files for that zone, and picking up the hintbook that magically appeared in your new character's container. Once the book is in your inventory, it's suggested to swap the zone fille back to the original one, in case there were some key items and NPC's that weren't there anymore in your endgame, for whatever reason. Now enjoy being a god in the wasteland :)
Aitor Rosell I disagree, I'd argue it's more akin to a makeshift 'New Game Plus' mode (something we don't typically consider to be 'cheating'), since all you're doing is allowing a new character to start with the items your previous character had.
@@GhostGlitch. thanks! This is good. I guess feeding off people will now be more for roleplay purposes 😅 never understood why they added it in the first place. Vampires are meant to be discreet 😂
@@hezar5166 I kinda liked it. If you see feral vampires in the wild they look very noticeably inhuman. When you are full blown vampire it kinda makes sense that townsfolk and guards might have an issue. Plus without the aggression why feed ever? Personally I added that feature back into my game. But I probably have the less common opinion here.
That's why I mod Skyrim to reverse the vampire mechanics. I mean, how much sense does it make to starve yourself to get more powerful? Shouldn't it be the other way around where the more blood you drink the more powerful you get?
When you are starving your innate abilities to survive kick in, giving you magical powers but also weakening you to the sun. That is my reasoning for it anyhow.
Feeding is supposed to be you staving off the disease, and staying more Human, while starving makes you more Supernatural at the cost of your Humanity.
Because the vampires in The Elder Scrolls seem to work that way...but thanks to my PC version, I can just ignore lore and balance and become god incarnate.
What!? Firing the experimental MIRV off the balcony of Tenpenny Tower was totally worth it! Raining down eight nuclear bombs on an unsuspecting wasteland was like being a supervillain, but ... um ... okay, I guess I was just being a supervillain.
My step brother used to cut people into little pieces and put them in that bathtub in that little Shack on the side of the road and then fire a nuke in the house
The thing that you seem to be forgetting about becoming a Vampire Lord in Dawnguard (other than the fact that no, people don't immediately attack you at Stage 4) is that...well...your character is now a vampire and probably should start behaving like one. Night becomes your new day (until you complete the main quest and can just give the sun a black eye any time you want). Seriously though, if you need to feed you're not just going to go into a house with 2/3 people awake and in the same room as the person you're going to bite...vampires are sneakier than that. There's also plenty of ways to compensate for your weakness to fire (be they racial traits or just getting fire resistance enchantments). Another thing to note is that unless town guards or civilians actually SEE you turn into a Lord, you'll loose all of your bounty for whatever you did in the Vampire Lord form once you get away and change back to normal (since the guards/civilians had no way to know who that Vampire Lord actually was) much like how you can put on the Grey Fox's Cowl in Oblivion, do whatever you want, then lose all of your bounty once you take it off. On top of all of this, the Vampire Lord form makes for a great "Oh shit!" button if you find yourself losing on a fight (assuming you're not outside in the day and haven't shot out the sun). The AoE Drain Health does a crap ton of damage while healing you for a ridiculous amount...really that's all you need, everything else - like the Gargoyles that absolutely murder everything - is just icing on the cake. You can say you just don't like the vampire playstyle (being forced into 3rd person every time you change forms and having trouble with doors are definitely two of the very valid complaints that come with being a vampire), but "more trouble than it's worth"? I'd say not, you just have to actually enjoy playing the game as though you were playing a vampire, and thus play as though your character were a vampire...because they are. ...................all that said, I still have way more fun as a modded werewolf that has a random chance of spontaneously changing at sun-down and being forced to stay in ww form the entire night. :^)
Rugged Lemmings I was a vampire for a day then went back to were wolf. Could not believe how quickly the sun took a toll on me. Whatever. I feel like were wolves r stronger anyways
Rugged Lemmings AND if you are familiar with the ability necromancer in the restoration tree, you basically boost every single active effect while you are a vampire. All you have to do is get restoration lvl 70, get the necromancer perk, become a vampire, put your gear on and off, and you’ve gotten better active effects
nessesaryschoolthing if you chose to play as a dark elf anyway that gets rid of the Fire weakness. You can also drink blood potions to count as feeding. No risk at all there.
felt like this with the elex's psi powers: there's a gravity ball/electric thing that works similarly, and if you cast it too close to yourself, it'll suck you in, stunlock you for a bit, and drain your health a lot but it's pretty broken good as it'll stunlock foes till they die from the pretty good damage, so it's definitely very awesome - plus you could potentially use your jetpack here and get distance even without backing up. imo the REALLY bad thing is you have to wait a long time to get shit like that: you basically can't fight worth dick for like 10 levels until you're able to join a group - so you've got to run around avoiding fights like you'll die in one hit doing quests till level 10 (with like level 30 ish the softcap)
@@jones81381 Yeah but the toffs in tenpenny tower are unbearable. Couldn't spend longer than 20 seconds listening to their drivel before turning the place into a charnel house.
You can get infinite mini-nukes in FO3, once the weapon shop in Rivet City starts selling them to you, one per stock refresh cycle (3 in-game days), so if you have the discipline to collect them regularly, you can amass quite the stockpile over the course of a run
How about time reversal in Life is Strange? I just wanted to fix that mistake in a conversation I had with Kate, aaaaaaaaaaaaaand now my nose is bleeding and I'm buried in seven layers of quantum time travel paradox hell.
I actually loved playing Skyrim, even as a normal vampire, and I thought that Vampire Lord was pretty cool. But I do acknowledge that there were plenty of downsides. For me it is all about the RP, not simply practicality or what's objectivly better. And things got a lot more fun when I installed the Better Vampires mod. As a side note: Stage 4 vampires were only "hated"/attack in vanilla Skyrim. It got removed with the Dawnguard DLC IIRC. So it was impossible to be "hated" as a Vampire Lord without mods (or possibly glitches).
I was planning on waiting to become a vampire because of the issue with being a melee assassin character and fighting ancient dragons that always breathe fire. But then I made a mistake and did too much fast travel and so my vampirism advanced too far and I don’t really want to bother doing anything else to heal it. But it’s kinda nice to be able to stand on top of light sources or walk through broad daylight or stand on top of characters while sneaking and still somehow be unnoticed. So it’s not too bad.
Not to mention the fact that her time rewinding powers are pretty much the cause of the huge disaster she keeps having visions of. I mean what a Catch-22, amirite?
@@torbjornnyqvist4066 in dawnguard being level 4 doesn't insta aggro and the fire resistance can easily be avoided or diminished and since it buffs illusion and stealth sucking blood isn't hard at all.
The problem is not wether there is a trade off or not...to me the issue I had was that a trade should be equal on both sides, the negatives far outweigh the benefits for vampirism. Compare to lycantropy -it is also a "curse" but the only real negative I can see is...not getting bonus rested experience from sleeping? whoop dee doo. Weakness to silver is not really a negative considering you never really see silver weaponry outside of the questline itself so everyday questing is a non issue. People attacking when transformed in either case should not count cause duh, you are a monstrous vampire/werewolf.
I dealt with it by either spending the 14 "day hours" (5 am - 7 pm) not entering pitched battles (I'd not avoid all fights, just the ones that'd be a slog) and/or doing combat out of the sun...if you think about it, a *lot* of your combat encounters aren't going to be taking place outside and definitely during the daytime. Hell, I got to the point that even taking down legendary dragons during high noon as a vampire wasn't an issue...
On a slightly less theoretically overpowered note, you'd think that the spell Stun from Might and Magic 6 would be at least marginally useful, given that it forces the target to go through its recovery before it can do anything again. It's also cheap, and available very early on. The problem comes when you realise that monsters have different recovery mechanics to the player-controlled party. They seem to operate on a fixed-time recovery, and the spell Stun doesn't actually trigger that. So it seems to exist purely to allow monsters to cast it on the party... except that there is literally no monster in the entire game which can cast Stun.
I have a cape and have in fact worn it out in public during non Halloween times, all without being a vampire. :P I wish they would come back into style, lol, I love them.
_"The Armageddon spell seems to exist as a joke because you would have to be completely off your rocker to think casting this spell is a good idea"_ **MEGUMIN WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION**
Boomy Fuzzball26, "No Man's Sea" refers to Sea of Thieves. It's a derogatory reference to the fact that it had no content at launch, much like No Man's Sky.
No magic armour from Zelda Twilight Princess? The thing literally drains your money from your wallet to make itself work, and as soon as you run out of Rupees, you become unbelievably slow.
That's actually one of the benefits, since having too much money prevents you from opening treasure chests in that game... for some reason. And you never actually suffer the drawback, since you can just take it off whenever. You throw it on, disappear a few rupees so you can open the treasure chest and take it off.
I'd say being a Werewolf is more annoying in Skyrim. It's still pretty cool, but you can't change back to human/elf/giant lizard at will, meanign you have to wander around in the woods until you turn back. Also Vampire Lord has a ranged attack, Werewolves don't.
you can also use the wait option when you ate too many hearts as werewolf to instantly switch back but that's disabled with certain immersion mods, sooo, yeah
What about the real knife you get at the end of Undertale wich does max damage but is completely useless, because everyone you encounter from that point on gets one hit no matter what!
More specifically, there are no more random encounters AT ALL once you get it. And since the ONLY enemy left in the game has only 1 ATK in addition to a HP and 1 DEF, the Locket is also completely useless.
@@Sunflorazumarill technically there's 3 more enemies one as you already said and two more who you just murder without them fighting back. Well one gets murdered by someone just as you want to murder him. But that's irrelevant.
Honestly the knife being useless is probably intentional, since the game rewards you for a pacifist run and punishes you for a genocide run. The knife being powerful but useless seems like the perfect metaphor for that entire approach.
Why bother? People dont attack you for being a Vampire anymore. The only part I dont like about being a vampire lord is I got no fuckin armor. Same with werewolf. Bot transformations are incredibly vulnerable.
@@shr00mhead Being a Werewolf is less-so vulnerable than a Vampire Lord. As a Werewolf you can intimidate humanoids, or call certain animals to help you in battle. This greatly alleviates a lot of incoming damage. As a Vampire Lord, your best bet is just strafing, using the natural speed of the Vampire Lord to your advantage, and downloading a Mod that makes the spells do actual damage. Or just staying out of it entirely and benefiting from the perks you get for being in Stage 3.
Actually both werewolf and vampire lord get scaling armour with dawnguard. Werewolf has 400 when it stops scaling and vampire lord has 300. You can increase both of these by casting armour spells and or activating berserk before transforming
I used the GTA canon one time, these 2 guys where hounding me and my bud. After a while they buggered off but i went to the canon, I tracked them down and found they where both standing side by side. Targeted in and prayed as the 3 second counter went down. ZAP, both gone in a second. I was so satisfied. Overkill revenge is the best.
Speaking of awesome powers in Skyrim that totally aren't worth it, what about the Master level spells? You have to do a whole quest for them, after you become the Archmage, and they take so long to cast that you will never be able to pull them off in battle!
Well, without the Become Ethereal shout, you can't really pull those spells off. However, if you know illusion works, you can use the master level illusion spells (Rally and Calm only) in a city and keep on leveling till a desired overall level.
Joshua Gross he might be referring to the destruction spells, which i HAVE pulled off the kamehameha wave spell in a fight, and i needed to because my Hearthfire home was attacked by a dragon, Dawnguard hit squad, bandit attack, and a giant....
@@justanaverageferret ...you needed a master destruction spell for that? Just summon a potent atronauch with a Dremora Lord, then command the dragon with the bend will shout. Then once aggro has been drawn, calmly walk to the nearest chair, sit down and watch the ensuing carnage.
'Sometimes things that initially looked like they might be great turned out to be a massive disappointment...'. * wears Andromeda Initiative shirt * Subtle.
I'd have thought the FO1/2 Gauss rifle was a better fit really. Insanely good weapon, but used super rare/expensive ammo, which could make you think twice about using it even against enemies you really should be using it against, because it was so hard to keep it fed
I hated that goddamn quest for that exact reason. That shit would do it every damn time. I kill a LONE HUNTER and she decides we're still in combat and reanimates him.

reminds me of the Disintegrate perk, which gives all of your lightning spells a change to disintegrate enemies...you can't reanimate disintegrated enemies, and worst of all...when a dragon disintegrated IT DIDN'T DROP BONES OR SCALES!
LOL, why was the heli near ANTI-AIR GUNS? Of course they're made out of paper, the bullets on those things rip it to shreds. It's not a tank and the heli doesn't look upgraded at all.
Exactly. These people clearly do not live by the two major tenets of the big gunner in fallout: Overkill is underrated & If violence does not solve your problems, you're not using enough of it.
Persona 5 - Ryuji’s “Insta-kill” confidant ability . This ability let you one-shot any shadow that’s at a much lower level than you, which sounds great at first, but then you realize that one-shotting them means you miss out on gold and exp. and you don’t get to choose which Persona you get from them... (Thankfully P5R fixes this)
yeah - hated it myself and avoided getting him to like rank 7 on my recent attempt to play through it because of that you basically can no longer ambush weaker foes ever with that ability - fuck that and you can fight lower rank foes but they have to see you first - which usually means you've got like half a second to attack them first before they hit you
I was mostly disappointed that being a vampire lord didn't come with a badass cape, and that I couldn't even STEAL Harkon's after he was dead. Plus there's only one vampire mode model for the player, regardless of gender or species, which SUCKS.
It's possible I'm remembering wrong, or that the female form was added to later versions of the game, but I don't remember the female vampire lord having a different look when I played on 360...
Becoming the Marshal of a realm in Mount and Blade. You can organise the armies of you people to actually do good in a war (i.e. do more than just destroy villages), but any fight that is lost in the entire kingdom is blamed on you. So when Raich goes and tried to fight a 200-man army with his 20 guys, and loses, that is apparently somehow you're fault, even though you told him to join your campaign on the other side of the map, where you just took 2 Castles and a City.
I watched the live stream of the orbital cannon event and it was brilliant :) That was one of the best streams. Everything on the mission stopped to go after this guy. It was great. Totally worth it! :) Love OX!
Annoying Radio DJ Three Dog. Hmm. I'm sorry Jane, but that doesn't add up. I'm sure you meant "Fantastic, lovely DJ, whose only being used here as he is a very recognisable character, and we couldn't be bothered to put up with Colonel Autumn." No need to thank me for the correction, we all knew what you were really thinking.
Another one: the Easter Egg in Bungie's Pathways into Darkness for Macintosh and Mac OSX; hidden in a warp zone on a mini boss level is a literal Easter Egg made of gold and chocolate (yum) that lets you bypass the rest of the game by teleporting you right to the final boss when you eat it. However, it is entirely possible to do so without getting the nuclear bomb you need to complete your mission or the lead box required to survive the radioactive gemstone the boss drops that you need to escape and win the game, and that's not counting the lack of ammo and health potions you need for the fight itself that you'd be missing. Oh, and even if you get through all of that, you end up stuck in a dead end after a point of no return as the final boss room exit leads to a room in a previous level on the wrong side of a one way door, which you open by playing through the other levels normally. If you skip to the final boss before opening it, you cannot complete the game even if you beat the boss. Oops.
Being a vampire lord is SO worth it. You can offset the fire weakness easily through enchanting or just being a dunmer. People only attack you if your in your vampire lord form so as long as you don't run into a major settlement in your vampire lord form, you'll be able to leave totally unscathed.
and even if you DO run into a major town in vampire lord form, not like they can stop you...what with the totally op massive aoe drain life spell you get
@@thirstyboi7706 Again , enchantments can easily counter it. If you are too lazy to level up enchanting just use vampire royal armor with ring of the erudite and Harkon's sword. Also , what kind of vampire roams around during daytime?
Being a vampire in Skyrim is massively op if you know what you’re doing. Be an assassin or warrior (wizards surprisingly get the short end of the stick here) get the necromage perk from the restoration tree, and voila, all of your magic effects are doubled. This includes any perks with scaling effects, enchantments, standing stones, self targeted spells, shouts, and buffs. Use elemental fury with a battle axe and it will feel like using daggers. Use dual daggers with elemental fury and it will feel like a chain saw. All you have to do is wait until night if it’s daytime. Or you could use storm call and block the sun. Also every effect of dragon aspect is doubled as well.
Best thing is the vampire yeet power. 99% of the enemies you fight can be thrown. And the game loves its huge dungeons with lots of ledges to throw them from. It's like having infinite Unrelenting Force which you can aim freely.
You guys totally forgot the master spells from Skyrim, seriously, the cast times on those things are insane and 99% of the time they are outclassed in damage and effect.
The master spells under illusion are a lot of fun, the master destruction spells are pretty good too actually wtf are you talking about? the alteration master spells are trash, but i cant think of any other master spels that arent a ton of fun
@@hotpockets2224 the lightning master spell is pretty good, but fire and ice aren't really worth using. Hell, even the lightning one isn't really worth using over duel casting lesser spells that stagger, because A, you basically can't use them unless you specifically enchant gear to remove casting cost entirely B, you are rooted to the spot while you're casting it and C, you can barely see where you're aiming it because it fills up so much of the screen. It is awesome though lol. Melts dragons (if you can hit them lol)
I don't know if it's a master class spell but I'm trying to get the cyclone cloak spell (the one that sends melee attackers flying) any tips on finding it?
I always thought the anti form in KH2 was such a pain. The more you used your forms the more likely it was to take over and it always happened during a bad boss fight and you can’t heal
Firstly,vampires ARE supposed to be hideous,they are the risen dead after all.Secondly have you heard about the necromage perk and how op its is if you are a vampire?
But compared to Werewolfs they're trash. Werewolf fits any build and doesn't change the way you play the game at all while making you immune to disease. As a vampire you need to build your character around that class to avoid getting stomped at higher difficulties. Especially against enemies like fire breathing Dragons. Vampires are only fun with mods.
Actually, with the Dawnguard addon for Skyrim, you DON'T get attacked for being a stage four vampire, even if your not a vampire lord (or so I hear from the official Elder Scrolls wiki)
Becoming a vampire on Morrowind was worse than oblivion and skyrim put together. Also, the boots of blinding speed in Morrowind which you mentioned are useless by themselves, But accompanied with the Saviors hide chest piece found in Tel Fyr which dispells 100% Makes them completely useable and s great way to travel at great speeds.
Or you just do 100% resist magika for 1 sec on self and put them on real quick. Getting those boots and being able to cast that spell was always the first thing I did on new games.
@@cdru515 Yeah. But if you notice when you do partial, your vision is still obscured. By that I mean it makes the darkness of your screen worse, Depending on your brightness settings can make it harder to see in dark areas. This happens ever so slightly even with the saviors hide or 100% Resist spells.
Oblivion had it the worst with vampirism. At least in morrowind, people didn't go to bed and lock their doors making it hard to be civilized while avoiding the sun. But common, level 4 vampirism doesn't make NPCs hostile with dawnguard. These guys didn't even try it, but read about it and started bitching.
On the PC you can just set hotkeys to switch between the Boots of Blinding Speed and regular footwear. This makes them quite usable even without resist magic trickery.
Not to mention that the MIRV is a PAIN to get in the first place, with almost a half dozen different audio logs to get all across the entire Capitol Wasteland which require pieces of the access code you need to get through the locked door that leads to the damn weapon. Then, you have to venture deep in the National Guard Depot, full of gas leaks, turrets and Mr. Gutsy's. AND THEN, you have to navigate a very confusing, three tier layout for a hidden, hard to find switch that opens a door, which requires a lot of hardcore parkour through a bunch of debris, something that Bethesda games are SO revered for. Sending yourself sky high by launching the nukes right at your feet is always fun, though.
Or you could skip the entire headache, go straight for the MIRV secret bunker, and realize that the button that opens the door from the inside can also be pushed from the outside due to wonky hitbox mechanics. Not sorry!
You can also get unlimited ammo for it, if you have the patience. The arms'n'ammo dealers in Rivet City have a chance to spawn Mini-nukes for sale during the stock refresh cycle, but it might easily take several cycles to get enough for a single MIRV shot.
The funny thing is, I sided with the Dawnguard, which normally takes the option to become a Vamp lord. BUT at some point Serana gave me the option to become a Vamp lord(after the soul cairne mission) and through a bug I also was a werewolf. Which was pretty funny. I mean my character then was an Ork with sneak level 100 who is also a werewolf and a Vampire lord... yeah...
Forget the forced third-person perspective while in vampire lord form, I'm still pissed about the forced third-person while riding a horse. Among the many other things that do so in Skyrim, that totally kills the immersion.
Actually everything kills the immersion in that game. The fact that you can shoot an arrow into someone and they will be like must have been nothing. How about the fact that every guard you run into has the same dialogue about taking an arrow to the knee.
I propose the Blue Shell from Mario Kart to the inevitable "Commenter Edition". Yes, it always (almost always) hits the person in first place and can hit some people on it's way there, but you don't get a Blue Shell unless you are very far behind (I think 8th place is the lowest where I have gotten a Blue Shell) and there's no chance at all you are going to get to first place by using that item alone. Basically you're only doing whoever's in second place a huge favor.
That's not trouble. I mean you don't get trouble for using a blue shell. Appart from that punch flying in your face at blinding speed for having used it on your friend. In the end, using it won't make your race worse.
Aenorial I think he's saying that acquiring one is more work than it's worth. It kinda requires intentionally losing the game. I mean if you have one you might as well use it, but I'd never intentionally get far enough behind to get one.
Mar Hawkman Yeah but the game doesn't make you do anything to get one. It's meant to help you or at least make you feel important when you're getting owned. Plus it's a random drop, not really an asset or ability. And it's definitely not awesome.
Depends on which game and which intensity of items your playing with. I have seen blue shells from 6th before, and if you are a good driver just having a string of rotten luck. . .that can really shake up the front runners enough for you to sneak in at the end. I have also seen a blue shell on Double Dash's baby park take someone from 1st to 8th AT the finish line because of how close the race was.
Having enjoyed door gunning, I will say its most useful function is becoming exponentially more important than anything else they are doing, as soon as the noise generator starts up. Thankfully games get durability well wrong, the bird's durability anyways, the gunner is added to the endangered species list immediately after assignment.
MasterZebulin $10 to ban anyone from the internet forever? That is the absolute worst idea ever. Half of the people on the internet would be banned within a day! Some sh*tbag would just pay $100 to permanently ban the creators of the top 10 UA-cam channels because he wants to ruin their lives. Every annoying kid with access to their parents’ credit card would instantly ban anyone they dislike in every online game ever. The worst people on the internet would conquer it, because decent people would hesitate to take such drastic action. It would be anarchy at its most brutal.
The moment I saw Harkon shift and say "THIS is the power I offer!" my immediate reaction was "Oh so I get the power to be hideous?" I declined. FOR THE DAWNGUARD!
Ikr? It's based off that evil Bram Stoker's Dracula form. As scary as it is repulsive. Only problem with the Dawnguard are the plot holes, under developed characters, and the fact that you're literally forced into being buddies with an ancient unrepentant Vampire Lord even though you signed up for vampire KILLING. Ugh, other than Crossbows that DLC was trash... im not over it
@@CreativeUsernameEh You know you can side with the Dawnguard, right? Just say no to Harkon and head back to Isran and tell him about the Volkihar clan. Plenty of vampire slaying and a rather good plot in my personal opinion.
@@CreativeUsernameEh I loved the crossbows. Took them into a stealth build and upgraded them to ignore 50% armor, then blacksmithed it to legendary status and enchanted the shit out of it. Dungeon clears in half the time.
And the fact that you dont even have to do the annoying questline to get it, with how easy it is to glitch the third person camera behind locked electric switch doors to open them from the inside. No effort, all the catastrophic reward
I seem to recall Outside Xbox saying in a previous video that choosing the Dawnguard instead of the vampires unlocked an unofficial hard mode in Skyrim. Now you are saying unlocking the vampire powers is more trouble than it is worth. Make up your mind! I need to know what to do in my upcoming 38th Skyrim playthrough!
LMAO I personally prefer vampires over dawnguard even if just for the rings of Blood Magic. Ring of the Beast is amazing for my unarmed Khajiit thief character that I play.
I can't believe you didn't put the elder scrolls 4: Oblivion on this list. Being a vampire in that game is way more of a hassel than it is in skyrim. It gave you those really cool stat boosts, but it could also kill you with sun damage. And that could also happen during fast travel or while you waited
Lol, my longest running character is an imortal vampire who I've been playing since Morrowind. Since she's also been a daedra ever since the oblivion crisis she sometimes also goes universe hopping and explores other games as well. But hey, she's sheogorath, anytime she gets bored she scatters all those daedric artifacts she's collected to the winds again, fudges her own memory and jumps back into nirn. Lol, I had so much fun RPing her in the dark brotherhood questline especially... she was seriously unimpressed with Astrid and how the db had gone downhill since last she was running it but she was pleased to see cicero again.
Ultima IX actually had a few abilities like this. * The final two-handed sword technique could only be found towards the endgame, where you had to first sail your ship to a secret dock, then dive through treacherous water to reach an underwater crypt. The move itself was a figure-8 swing that was slow, only hit once at the end, and was very hard to aim. * The Death Spell, which used to instantly kill most enemies, was now a slow ritual that forced you to stand still, and didn't work most of the time due to its unnecessary animation being heavily glitched. * The flaming arrow bow technique required you to carry oil flasks in your inventory, taking up valuable inventory space. * The blackrock cuirass required you to avoid completing a church quest, in order to remain in the Thieves Guild's good graces. Then once you equipped it, going swimming anywhere caused you to sink like a rock. I mean, golly, it's almost like the developers didn't think any of this through.
What? No Vector Cannon from Zone of the Enders 2? You spend the first part of the game getting told to get this super weapon, then you get it and in order to fire it you have to be on the ground and stand perfectly still for like 3 days for it to finally go off.

When it came to Skyrim, I always did the Companions quest line early on to get the werewolf blood. All the perks, none of the cons. No one attacks you on sight (unless in wolf form). Immune to diseases. No sunlight damage. Plus the wolf form looks way more appealing. The only real con is the lack of rest bonus from sleeping. But let's face it, the only time we sleep in the game is when we get that urge to go to a shady inn where we get kidnapped by a crazy chick.

I used it for a total of three seconds and never again.
Perfect example of the item you buy for the final boss and no other time ever.
Though to be fair TP gives you more money than you can even handle, with half of it left in chests because your wallet is already full.
Did it eat the cash or was it transfered to the shop who sold it to you?? If its the later option we should invent an armor like that and sell hundreds of them :D

I'm amazed the Armageddon spell even works. You can't exactly test that sort of power out to make sure it's functioning correctly.
...I mean, you _can,_ but then there's not much point writing down the spell anywhere.
Think of magic like programming. You make a spell that removes water from something. Then edit the spell to change water to life. It very likely won't work, but if it does: Bang everything everywhere dies.
Or you get it to work within a certain distance and power it up to kill everyone. Or it was always meant to be used within a protective spell and no one thought to use it outside of that and ergo didn't account for the power.
The other thing with Armageddon is that "having to play Ultima IX to make it useful" is the very definition of "more trouble than it's worth"...
+Sam Moyer
More like: You edit the spell to change water to life. The -compiler- ritual informs you about 900 warnings and 15 errors, many of which involve attempts at implicit typecasting. And when cast, the spell crashes with an exception you don't recognize, so you have to consult -Google- a number of ancient scrolls to figure out what went wrong.
Cyfrik I personally think of it like a scaling thing. 1 stick of dynamite makes a bang, but it won't blow up a town. But use enough dynamite and the entire town becomes a smoking ruin. So for this you take a spell designed to insta-kill people, then increase the area of effect to the entire planet.
You forgot the Thermonuclear Explosion spell from Quest for Glory 5. This spell was the wizard's reward for a fairly hard quest about halfway through the game (the fighter and thief got actual good rewards). When you cast it you get a nice cut scene of a nuclear explosion going off centered on the area you were at, which destroys a large part of the map, then you get the game over screen.
Speaking of the Experimental MIRV. I had a friend who wanted to see how some of the cool weapon animations in Fallout 3, so I went into god mode and started killing people in Megaton. I watched one of the invulnerable NPCs run into my house. I was curious so I followed him inside and saw him run over to where I had the MIRV of display next to a stack of ammo. He picked it up and started chasing me around Megaton while firing wildly.
I was thinking the same thing when they mentioned the MIRV and Armageddon spell.
I remember an old RPG where you could get a bow that shot an entire quiver of arrows at once, doing really good damage but it totally wasn't worth stocking literal tons of arrows for your party's inventory. The weapon became the best weapon in the game much later, however, when you got the ever-full quiver.
What game was this??
@@pharaohsmagician8329 It was like... 30 years ago. I don't remember the name, just the gatling bow combo. Also you had some weapons that outright had negative stats. Good luck finding it!

The number of times I used fatman in fallout 3-4 and had it kill no one because a 2 foot concrete rail or a stair was in the way and it did almost no damage to any mobs blew my mind.
The damage tracking for explosions in fallout has always been so unbelievably bad.
I didn't have issues with low walls or the like with my fatman shots...I rarely had the things land anywhere near the targeted enemy (more often than not, they dropped early in their arc and landed closer to me than their target...even when fired out of VATS (since VATS can mess with the shots, too)).
That said, I did make some use of explosives in New Vegas...the character in question was a former demolitions expert, so I focused on explosives over firearms (but I did pull with a weak weapon on occasion, just to have the enemies run headlong into my minefield).

The Boots of Blinding Speed were awesome. I used them extensively. I just countered the Blindness with some nightvision enchantments. You lost the ability to see shadows and the boots needed frequent repair. But the Speedbonus was so worth it.
Smh, not just casting magic resistance 100% for one second.
Or being a Breton and using the Hircine's Hide. Very funny.
I always played orc in Morrowind and with their innate magic resistance the boots darkened the screen but I could still see and blitz around the world like a green road runner. The boots were always a mandatory item for me greatly cut down on travel time!
Reminds me of my first Morrowind experience, i panicked when first equiped that boots
Here's a trick regarding Fallout 2. Each time you create a save file, the game actually creates a folder with various files containing the data for your character (stats, inventory, quest advancement etc.) as well as the data for each zone of the game (the NPCs still alive, the items in the containers, etc.)
With that knowledge of how the system works, it is possible to pass on the hintbook from an endgame character to a new game one, for instance by placing the book in a specific container of a specific zone, then exiting the game, discreetly swapping out the save files for that zone, and picking up the hintbook that magically appeared in your new character's container.
Once the book is in your inventory, it's suggested to swap the zone fille back to the original one, in case there were some key items and NPC's that weren't there anymore in your endgame, for whatever reason. Now enjoy being a god in the wasteland :)

That's why I mod Skyrim to reverse the vampire mechanics. I mean, how much sense does it make to starve yourself to get more powerful? Shouldn't it be the other way around where the more blood you drink the more powerful you get?
It doesn't make sense, but I suspect they did it that way to ensure drawbacks to each side. Doesn't matter if you cheat yourself invincible though....
Amen to that.
When you are starving your innate abilities to survive kick in, giving you magical powers but also weakening you to the sun. That is my reasoning for it anyhow.
Feeding is supposed to be you staving off the disease, and staying more Human, while starving makes you more Supernatural at the cost of your Humanity.
Because the vampires in The Elder Scrolls seem to work that way...but thanks to my PC version, I can just ignore lore and balance and become god incarnate.
I enjoy being a vampire in Skyrim. Dawnguard fixed the instant aggro on lvl 4, and the Vampire Lord is awesome once you get used to it.
What!? Firing the experimental MIRV off the balcony of Tenpenny Tower was totally worth it! Raining down eight nuclear bombs on an unsuspecting wasteland was like being a supervillain, but ... um ... okay, I guess I was just being a supervillain.
I mean if you were on tenpennys tower there is a good chance you actually nuke an entire town cough village chough
My step brother used to cut people into little pieces and put them in that bathtub in that little Shack on the side of the road and then fire a nuke in the house

Only ever used it once to kill a Behemoth in one shot xD.....ok twice but I only tried to sink the boat once
They don't seem to realise that the MIRV or any Fatman shouldn't be fired from three meters away or in VATS
The thing that you seem to be forgetting about becoming a Vampire Lord in Dawnguard (other than the fact that no, people don't immediately attack you at Stage 4) is that...well...your character is now a vampire and probably should start behaving like one. Night becomes your new day (until you complete the main quest and can just give the sun a black eye any time you want). Seriously though, if you need to feed you're not just going to go into a house with 2/3 people awake and in the same room as the person you're going to bite...vampires are sneakier than that. There's also plenty of ways to compensate for your weakness to fire (be they racial traits or just getting fire resistance enchantments).
Another thing to note is that unless town guards or civilians actually SEE you turn into a Lord, you'll loose all of your bounty for whatever you did in the Vampire Lord form once you get away and change back to normal (since the guards/civilians had no way to know who that Vampire Lord actually was) much like how you can put on the Grey Fox's Cowl in Oblivion, do whatever you want, then lose all of your bounty once you take it off.
On top of all of this, the Vampire Lord form makes for a great "Oh shit!" button if you find yourself losing on a fight (assuming you're not outside in the day and haven't shot out the sun). The AoE Drain Health does a crap ton of damage while healing you for a ridiculous amount...really that's all you need, everything else - like the Gargoyles that absolutely murder everything - is just icing on the cake.
You can say you just don't like the vampire playstyle (being forced into 3rd person every time you change forms and having trouble with doors are definitely two of the very valid complaints that come with being a vampire), but "more trouble than it's worth"? I'd say not, you just have to actually enjoy playing the game as though you were playing a vampire, and thus play as though your character were a vampire...because they are.
...................all that said, I still have way more fun as a modded werewolf that has a random chance of spontaneously changing at sun-down and being forced to stay in ww form the entire night. :^)
Rugged Lemmings I was a vampire for a day then went back to were wolf. Could not believe how quickly the sun took a toll on me. Whatever. I feel like were wolves r stronger anyways
OH SHIT
Rugged Lemmings AND if you are familiar with the ability necromancer in the restoration tree, you basically boost every single active effect while you are a vampire. All you have to do is get restoration lvl 70, get the necromancer perk, become a vampire, put your gear on and off, and you’ve gotten better active effects
Necromage Vampire can be combined with the Atronarch perk and standing stone to get 100% magic absorption so, yeah, not really at risk of fire now.
nessesaryschoolthing if you chose to play as a dark elf anyway that gets rid of the Fire weakness.
You can also drink blood potions to count as feeding. No risk at all there.
The Saints Row IV Black Hole gun. You’ll spend half your time falling over from firing the dang thing too close to yourself.
felt like this with the elex's psi powers: there's a gravity ball/electric thing that works similarly, and if you cast it too close to yourself, it'll suck you in, stunlock you for a bit, and drain your health a lot
but it's pretty broken good as it'll stunlock foes till they die from the pretty good damage, so it's definitely very awesome - plus you could potentially use your jetpack here and get distance even without backing up.
imo the REALLY bad thing is you have to wait a long time to get shit like that: you basically can't fight worth dick for like 10 levels until you're able to join a group - so you've got to run around avoiding fights like you'll die in one hit doing quests till level 10 (with like level 30 ish the softcap)
The MIRV. The main use being, making a dump save and nuking everything inside of Megaton. You know you did it, we all did
But why? I mean there is perfectly functional nuke in the center of the city

As a side note:
Stage 4 vampires were only "hated"/attack in vanilla Skyrim. It got removed with the Dawnguard DLC IIRC. So it was impossible to be "hated" as a Vampire Lord without mods (or possibly glitches).
They removed that last part? Really?
@@septon4087 yea one more reason why i took the Vamp lord not the Wolf but even Vetter is a normal magician vampire
I was planning on waiting to become a vampire because of the issue with being a melee assassin character and fighting ancient dragons that always breathe fire.

But it’s kinda nice to be able to stand on top of light sources or walk through broad daylight or stand on top of characters while sneaking and still somehow be unnoticed. So it’s not too bad.

>Complaining that vampirism is a tradeoff
spoiler alert: its a curse
In the main game yes, but..... in dawngourd it is a tradeoff
Dawnguard
@@torbjornnyqvist4066 in dawnguard being level 4 doesn't insta aggro and the fire resistance can easily be avoided or diminished and since it buffs illusion and stealth sucking blood isn't hard at all.
you misspelled Blessing.
The problem is not wether there is a trade off or not...to me the issue I had was that a trade should be equal on both sides, the negatives far outweigh the benefits for vampirism. Compare to lycantropy -it is also a "curse" but the only real negative I can see is...not getting bonus rested experience from sleeping? whoop dee doo. Weakness to silver is not really a negative considering you never really see silver weaponry outside of the questline itself so everyday questing is a non issue. People attacking when transformed in either case should not count cause duh, you are a monstrous vampire/werewolf.
I countered the weaknesses of the Vampire Lord form by enchanting my armor so that the sun's negative effects were cancelled out completely.
Striga in Castlevania had her Day Armour, so I'd say that's in line with current vampire lore.
I dealt with it by either spending the 14 "day hours" (5 am - 7 pm) not entering pitched battles (I'd not avoid all fights, just the ones that'd be a slog) and/or doing combat out of the sun...if you think about it, a *lot* of your combat encounters aren't going to be taking place outside and definitely during the daytime. Hell, I got to the point that even taking down legendary dragons during high noon as a vampire wasn't an issue...
On a slightly less theoretically overpowered note, you'd think that the spell Stun from Might and Magic 6 would be at least marginally useful, given that it forces the target to go through its recovery before it can do anything again. It's also cheap, and available very early on.
The problem comes when you realise that monsters have different recovery mechanics to the player-controlled party. They seem to operate on a fixed-time recovery, and the spell Stun doesn't actually trigger that. So it seems to exist purely to allow monsters to cast it on the party... except that there is literally no monster in the entire game which can cast Stun.
Surely having a cape is the BEST thing about being a vampire
I prefer the out of body experience.
(are we being sarcastic?)
Naaah you kidding? I thought the best thing was your freaky ass head that you have in Vampire Lord form.
Can you even call it a cape?
It looks more like deformed wings, with skin molting off.
You can just be a Nightingale if you want a dope looking cape.
I have a cape and have in fact worn it out in public during non Halloween times, all without being a vampire. :P I wish they would come back into style, lol, I love them.

No magic armour from Zelda Twilight Princess? The thing literally drains your money from your wallet to make itself work, and as soon as you run out of Rupees, you become unbelievably slow.
but on every Zelda, money can be useless pretty quickly
thats a thing? Kinda cool.
As a person who's been stuck in a hospital with a Wii U with that being the ONLY Zelda game....I can agree.
That's actually one of the benefits, since having too much money prevents you from opening treasure chests in that game... for some reason.
And you never actually suffer the drawback, since you can just take it off whenever. You throw it on, disappear a few rupees so you can open the treasure chest and take it off.
After the Fallout 3 MIRV you should have cut to the Skyrim Intro.
“Hey, you. You’re finally awake”
LMAOO
I know it's an overused meme but honestly, still funny for me
B B It’s gotten to the point I’m more disappointed when I expect it and don’t see it.
I'd say being a Werewolf is more annoying in Skyrim. It's still pretty cool, but you can't change back to human/elf/giant lizard at will, meanign you have to wander around in the woods until you turn back. Also Vampire Lord has a ranged attack, Werewolves don't.
Plus there's the chance that you'll change back in front of people putting a hefty bounty on you.
Or wait 1 hour and you turn back
Also you can only change once a day unless you have the ring of hircine.
you can also use the wait option when you ate too many hearts as werewolf to instantly switch back but that's disabled with certain immersion mods, sooo, yeah
What Werewolf build doesn't have the ring....

underrated comment
What about the real knife you get at the end of Undertale wich does max damage but is completely useless, because everyone you encounter from that point on gets one hit no matter what!
More specifically, there are no more random encounters AT ALL once you get it. And since the ONLY enemy left in the game has only 1 ATK in addition to a HP and 1 DEF, the Locket is also completely useless.
@@Sunflorazumarill technically there's 3 more enemies one as you already said and two more who you just murder without them fighting back. Well one gets murdered by someone just as you want to murder him. But that's irrelevant.
Honestly the knife being useless is probably intentional, since the game rewards you for a pacifist run and punishes you for a genocide run. The knife being powerful but useless seems like the perfect metaphor for that entire approach.
Just download the better vampires mod for skyrim and it makes it quite enjoyable
Jay Rossignol That is the "Bethesdan" thing ever, download mods to correct the games.
@@cairosousa don't mean to rant on you it's just good to see someone who doesn't sound like the finding nemo seagulls saying mods lmfao
Why bother? People dont attack you for being a Vampire anymore. The only part I dont like about being a vampire lord is I got no fuckin armor. Same with werewolf. Bot transformations are incredibly vulnerable.
@@shr00mhead Being a Werewolf is less-so vulnerable than a Vampire Lord. As a Werewolf you can intimidate humanoids, or call certain animals to help you in battle. This greatly alleviates a lot of incoming damage. As a Vampire Lord, your best bet is just strafing, using the natural speed of the Vampire Lord to your advantage, and downloading a Mod that makes the spells do actual damage. Or just staying out of it entirely and benefiting from the perks you get for being in Stage 3.
Actually both werewolf and vampire lord get scaling armour with dawnguard. Werewolf has 400 when it stops scaling and vampire lord has 300. You can increase both of these by casting armour spells and or activating berserk before transforming
I used the GTA canon one time, these 2 guys where hounding me and my bud. After a while they buggered off but i went to the canon, I tracked them down and found they where both standing side by side. Targeted in and prayed as the 3 second counter went down. ZAP, both gone in a second. I was so satisfied. Overkill revenge is the best.
Speaking of awesome powers in Skyrim that totally aren't worth it, what about the Master level spells? You have to do a whole quest for them, after you become the Archmage, and they take so long to cast that you will never be able to pull them off in battle!
Well, without the Become Ethereal shout, you can't really pull those spells off.
However, if you know illusion works, you can use the master level illusion spells (Rally and Calm only) in a city and keep on leveling till a desired overall level.
If you're summoning a permanent thrall in the middle of a fight, you're doing something wrong.
Joshua Gross he might be referring to the destruction spells, which i HAVE pulled off the kamehameha wave spell in a fight, and i needed to because my Hearthfire home was attacked by a dragon, Dawnguard hit squad, bandit attack, and a giant....
@@justanaverageferret ...you needed a master destruction spell for that? Just summon a potent atronauch with a Dremora Lord, then command the dragon with the bend will shout. Then once aggro has been drawn, calmly walk to the nearest chair, sit down and watch the ensuing carnage.
And it's not like those destruction spells inflict enough damage to justify their cast time either.

I'd have thought the FO1/2 Gauss rifle was a better fit really. Insanely good weapon, but used super rare/expensive ammo, which could make you think twice about using it even against enemies you really should be using it against, because it was so hard to keep it fed
Oh Serana... I'll never forget when you reanimated that hard-to-find Bosmer before I could sample his blood...
I'll never forget when she reanimated a fox while I was in battle. Like why 😂
I hated that goddamn quest for that exact reason. That shit would do it every damn time. I kill a LONE HUNTER and she decides we're still in combat and reanimates him.
reminds me of the Disintegrate perk, which gives all of your lightning spells a change to disintegrate enemies...you can't reanimate disintegrated enemies, and worst of all...when a dragon disintegrated IT DIDN'T DROP BONES OR SCALES!

Persona 5 - Ryuji’s “Insta-kill” confidant ability
. This ability let you one-shot any shadow that’s at a much lower level than you, which sounds great at first, but then you realize that one-shotting them means you miss out on gold and exp. and you don’t get to choose which Persona you get from them...
(Thankfully P5R fixes this)
yeah - hated it myself and avoided getting him to like rank 7 on my recent attempt to play through it because of that
you basically can no longer ambush weaker foes ever with that ability - fuck that
and you can fight lower rank foes but they have to see you first - which usually means you've got like half a second to attack them first before they hit you
There are so many enemies in the game (and they respawn!) that I never found it an issue
I was mostly disappointed that being a vampire lord didn't come with a badass cape, and that I couldn't even STEAL Harkon's after he was dead. Plus there's only one vampire mode model for the player, regardless of gender or species, which SUCKS.
That's wrong. The female vampire lord is different
It's possible I'm remembering wrong, or that the female form was added to later versions of the game, but I don't remember the female vampire lord having a different look when I played on 360...
Yup the female vampire lord is different, ain't less hideous though.
You can wear Harkon's outfit, which has the cape attached to it. Theres even one laying random somewhere in their castle.

Becoming the Marshal of a realm in Mount and Blade. You can organise the armies of you people to actually do good in a war (i.e. do more than just destroy villages), but any fight that is lost in the entire kingdom is blamed on you. So when Raich goes and tried to fight a 200-man army with his 20 guys, and loses, that is apparently somehow you're fault, even though you told him to join your campaign on the other side of the map, where you just took 2 Castles and a City.
Only reason you'd become a marshal is for the un. For practicality, you should just start your own kingdom.

Another one: the Easter Egg in Bungie's Pathways into Darkness for Macintosh and Mac OSX; hidden in a warp zone on a mini boss level is a literal Easter Egg made of gold and chocolate (yum) that lets you bypass the rest of the game by teleporting you right to the final boss when you eat it. However, it is entirely possible to do so without getting the nuclear bomb you need to complete your mission or the lead box required to survive the radioactive gemstone the boss drops that you need to escape and win the game, and that's not counting the lack of ammo and health potions you need for the fight itself that you'd be missing.
Oh, and even if you get through all of that, you end up stuck in a dead end after a point of no return as the final boss room exit leads to a room in a previous level on the wrong side of a one way door, which you open by playing through the other levels normally. If you skip to the final boss before opening it, you cannot complete the game even if you beat the boss. Oops.

Being a vampire lord is SO worth it. You can offset the fire weakness easily through enchanting or just being a dunmer. People only attack you if your in your vampire lord form so as long as you don't run into a major settlement in your vampire lord form, you'll be able to leave totally unscathed.
and even if you DO run into a major town in vampire lord form, not like they can stop you...what with the totally op massive aoe drain life spell you get

Being a vampire in Skyrim is massively op if you know what you’re doing. Be an assassin or warrior (wizards surprisingly get the short end of the stick here) get the necromage perk from the restoration tree, and voila, all of your magic effects are doubled. This includes any perks with scaling effects, enchantments, standing stones, self targeted spells, shouts, and buffs. Use elemental fury with a battle axe and it will feel like using daggers. Use dual daggers with elemental fury and it will feel like a chain saw. All you have to do is wait until night if it’s daytime. Or you could use storm call and block the sun. Also every effect of dragon aspect is doubled as well.
It's a bug, not intended, that's why it's fixed in the unofficial patch, just like 99% of the rest of the gamebreaking bugs.
Best thing is the vampire yeet power. 99% of the enemies you fight can be thrown. And the game loves its huge dungeons with lots of ledges to throw them from. It's like having infinite Unrelenting Force which you can aim freely.
You guys totally forgot the master spells from Skyrim, seriously, the cast times on those things are insane and 99% of the time they are outclassed in damage and effect.
The master spells under illusion are a lot of fun, the master destruction spells are pretty good too actually wtf are you talking about? the alteration master spells are trash, but i cant think of any other master spels that arent a ton of fun
@@hotpockets2224 the lightning master spell is pretty good, but fire and ice aren't really worth using. Hell, even the lightning one isn't really worth using over duel casting lesser spells that stagger, because
A, you basically can't use them unless you specifically enchant gear to remove casting cost entirely
B, you are rooted to the spot while you're casting it and
C, you can barely see where you're aiming it because it fills up so much of the screen.
It is awesome though lol. Melts dragons (if you can hit them lol)
I don't know if it's a master class spell but I'm trying to get the cyclone cloak spell (the one that sends melee attackers flying) any tips on finding it?

Yeah, I do not even think he played any of these games they steal the footage from other people based on the comments they read.
But compared to Werewolfs they're trash. Werewolf fits any build and doesn't change the way you play the game at all while making you immune to disease. As a vampire you need to build your character around that class to avoid getting stomped at higher difficulties. Especially against enemies like fire breathing Dragons. Vampires are only fun with mods.

I can't help but read this comment as the comic book guy.
Actually, with the Dawnguard addon for Skyrim, you DON'T get attacked for being a stage four vampire, even if your not a vampire lord (or so I hear from the official Elder Scrolls wiki)
Oh it's true I've played skyrim enough to know this. The vampire lord form can be extremely op later on
Becoming a vampire on Morrowind was worse than oblivion and skyrim put together. Also, the boots of blinding speed in Morrowind which you mentioned are useless by themselves, But accompanied with the Saviors hide chest piece found in Tel Fyr which dispells 100% Makes them completely useable and s great way to travel at great speeds.
Or you just do 100% resist magika for 1 sec on self and put them on real quick. Getting those boots and being able to cast that spell was always the first thing I did on new games.
Actually, partial resistance also works
@@cdru515 Yeah. But if you notice when you do partial, your vision is still obscured. By that I mean it makes the darkness of your screen worse, Depending on your brightness settings can make it harder to see in dark areas. This happens ever so slightly even with the saviors hide or 100% Resist spells.
Oblivion had it the worst with vampirism. At least in morrowind, people didn't go to bed and lock their doors making it hard to be civilized while avoiding the sun. But common, level 4 vampirism doesn't make NPCs hostile with dawnguard. These guys didn't even try it, but read about it and started bitching.
On the PC you can just set hotkeys to switch between the Boots of Blinding Speed and regular footwear. This makes them quite usable even without resist magic trickery.
Not to mention that the MIRV is a PAIN to get in the first place, with almost a half dozen different audio logs to get all across the entire Capitol Wasteland which require pieces of the access code you need to get through the locked door that leads to the damn weapon. Then, you have to venture deep in the National Guard Depot, full of gas leaks, turrets and Mr. Gutsy's. AND THEN, you have to navigate a very confusing, three tier layout for a hidden, hard to find switch that opens a door, which requires a lot of hardcore parkour through a bunch of debris, something that Bethesda games are SO revered for.
Sending yourself sky high by launching the nukes right at your feet is always fun, though.
Or you could skip the entire headache, go straight for the MIRV secret bunker, and realize that the button that opens the door from the inside can also be pushed from the outside due to wonky hitbox mechanics. Not sorry!
You can also get unlimited ammo for it, if you have the patience. The arms'n'ammo dealers in Rivet City have a chance to spawn Mini-nukes for sale during the stock refresh cycle, but it might easily take several cycles to get enough for a single MIRV shot.
The funny thing is, I sided with the Dawnguard, which normally takes the option to become a Vamp lord. BUT at some point Serana gave me the option to become a Vamp lord(after the soul cairne mission) and through a bug I also was a werewolf. Which was pretty funny. I mean my character then was an Ork with sneak level 100 who is also a werewolf and a Vampire lord... yeah...
Username checks out.
Forget the forced third-person perspective while in vampire lord form, I'm still pissed about the forced third-person while riding a horse. Among the many other things that do so in Skyrim, that totally kills the immersion.
subjective.
That's what they're gonna fix when Summerset Isle comes out I think
And you can't forget the horse controls... My god, just walk backwards and stop sliding off cliffs
Actually everything kills the immersion in that game. The fact that you can shoot an arrow into someone and they will be like must have been nothing. How about the fact that every guard you run into has the same dialogue about taking an arrow to the knee.
I feel scam by the bend will shout. It sucks
I propose the Blue Shell from Mario Kart to the inevitable "Commenter Edition". Yes, it always (almost always) hits the person in first place and can hit some people on it's way there, but you don't get a Blue Shell unless you are very far behind (I think 8th place is the lowest where I have gotten a Blue Shell) and there's no chance at all you are going to get to first place by using that item alone. Basically you're only doing whoever's in second place a huge favor.
That's not trouble. I mean you don't get trouble for using a blue shell. Appart from that punch flying in your face at blinding speed for having used it on your friend. In the end, using it won't make your race worse.
Aenorial I think he's saying that acquiring one is more work than it's worth. It kinda requires intentionally losing the game. I mean if you have one you might as well use it, but I'd never intentionally get far enough behind to get one.
Mar Hawkman Yeah but the game doesn't make you do anything to get one. It's meant to help you or at least make you feel important when you're getting owned. Plus it's a random drop, not really an asset or ability. And it's definitely not awesome.
Depends on which game and which intensity of items your playing with. I have seen blue shells from 6th before, and if you are a good driver just having a string of rotten luck. . .that can really shake up the front runners enough for you to sneak in at the end.
I have also seen a blue shell on Double Dash's baby park take someone from 1st to 8th AT the finish line because of how close the race was.
How about that Lightning Cloud powerup? You have to ram into an opponent or else YOU get shrunk.

Ikr? It's based off that evil Bram Stoker's Dracula form. As scary as it is repulsive. Only problem with the Dawnguard are the plot holes, under developed characters, and the fact that you're literally forced into being buddies with an ancient unrepentant Vampire Lord even though you signed up for vampire KILLING. Ugh, other than Crossbows that DLC was trash... im not over it
@@CreativeUsernameEh You know you can side with the Dawnguard, right? Just say no to Harkon and head back to Isran and tell him about the Volkihar clan. Plenty of vampire slaying and a rather good plot in my personal opinion.
I am pretty sure he probably means Serana, who you *are* forced into being buddies with. Though calling her unrepentant is a bit harsh
@@CreativeUsernameEh I loved the crossbows. Took them into a stealth build and upgraded them to ignore 50% armor, then blacksmithed it to legendary status and enchanted the shit out of it. Dungeon clears in half the time.

You're using the Experimental MIRV incorrectly, you forgot to move 2 postcodes over prior to firing!
And the fact that you dont even have to do the annoying questline to get it, with how easy it is to glitch the third person camera behind locked electric switch doors to open them from the inside. No effort, all the catastrophic reward
I seem to recall Outside Xbox saying in a previous video that choosing the Dawnguard instead of the vampires unlocked an unofficial hard mode in Skyrim. Now you are saying unlocking the vampire powers is more trouble than it is worth. Make up your mind! I need to know what to do in my upcoming 38th Skyrim playthrough!
LMAO I personally prefer vampires over dawnguard even if just for the rings of Blood Magic. Ring of the Beast is amazing for my unarmed Khajiit thief character that I play.
I can't believe you didn't put the elder scrolls 4: Oblivion on this list. Being a vampire in that game is way more of a hassel than it is in skyrim. It gave you those really cool stat boosts, but it could also kill you with sun damage. And that could also happen during fast travel or while you waited
You think that is hard. Have you ever tried being a Vampire on Morrowind? It is so incredibly difficult.
Lol, my longest running character is an imortal vampire who I've been playing since Morrowind. Since she's also been a daedra ever since the oblivion crisis she sometimes also goes universe hopping and explores other games as well. But hey, she's sheogorath, anytime she gets bored she scatters all those daedric artifacts she's collected to the winds again, fudges her own memory and jumps back into nirn. Lol, I had so much fun RPing her in the dark brotherhood questline especially... she was seriously unimpressed with Astrid and how the db had gone downhill since last she was running it but she was pleased to see cicero again.
Oh wait, Armageddon. Maybe the spell in Ready Player One was a reference to this then. Pretty cool.
Ultima IX actually had a few abilities like this.
* The final two-handed sword technique could only be found towards the endgame, where you had to first sail your ship to a secret dock, then dive through treacherous water to reach an underwater crypt. The move itself was a figure-8 swing that was slow, only hit once at the end, and was very hard to aim.
* The Death Spell, which used to instantly kill most enemies, was now a slow ritual that forced you to stand still, and didn't work most of the time due to its unnecessary animation being heavily glitched.
* The flaming arrow bow technique required you to carry oil flasks in your inventory, taking up valuable inventory space.
* The blackrock cuirass required you to avoid completing a church quest, in order to remain in the Thieves Guild's good graces. Then once you equipped it, going swimming anywhere caused you to sink like a rock.
I mean, golly, it's almost like the developers didn't think any of this through.
That one dislike was from that kid on GTA5
IkaFang And the rest are from his (currently) 143 friends?
I've never noticed Jane's badass arm scar! Love her even more now!
does "7 times player 2 had way more fun" exist yet?
MGSV's air support is actually nice during total stealth missions later on. At least as a distraction.
Then again, Quiet is much more useful.
The decoys in Phantom Pain had to be one of the best pieces of equipment you had; it was always fun to deploy them and knock people out.
What? No Vector Cannon from Zone of the Enders 2? You spend the first part of the game getting told to get this super weapon, then you get it and in order to fire it you have to be on the ground and stand perfectly still for like 3 days for it to finally go off.
True, but admittedly it's totally worth it to cleave battleships in half.
