    Honestly, the Shiv is such a poorly introduced weapon. If it had a special stat like being kept in your inventory when you’re arrested, or being able to sneak attack other NPCs from any direction regardless of wether they can see you or not. It could be a much better weapon if it only had something that made it unique.

    Some advice:
    The Destruction perks Augmented Flames/Frost/Shock affect weapon enchantments. The Chaos enchantment (which can sometimes be bought from merchants on Solsteim) is boosted by all three perks. Meaning Chaos Shivs would deal good damage even with little investment.
    The Bashing perks in the Block tree can be used with a weapon in one hand and nothing in the other. Power Bash, Deadly Bash, and Disarming Bash can be very effective, even with a shiv.

      You’re right - you definitely can disenchant the General’s war hammer.
      It can show up randomly but it seems to be very, very rare. As the weapon itself is unique, I actually thought the Chaos enchantment was also unique and could only be obtained by acquiring the hammer and then disenchanting it.

    • @ianjames1754
      @ianjames1754 Рік тому +1

      I was just writing a comment about the Chaos thing too!
      The Illusion perk Aspect Of Terror augments fire spells and the Fire Damage enchantment actually compounds the effects of other enchantments though not as significantly as Chaos does.
      The Chaos Damage enchantment also compounds the effects of enchantments belonging to other schools like Turn Undead, Expel Daedra, Fear and Paralysis.
      The Turn Undead one becomes more than strong enough to make even the high level Deathlords (especially the archers with matching Ebony bow and arrows that ragdoll you with the Unrelenting Force shout every few seconds) and Death Overlords flee from you.
      Necromage perk in Restoration will definitely make it more potent but I don’t know if it’s actually necessary after combining with Chaos.
      I’m not certain on this but I think you only need one school of magic reduced to 0 cost to use a weapon enchanted with different schools of magic without it’s charge depleting, as long as one of the schools the enchantment fails under is the one you have free use of. Could be wrong on this though.

    @degobah144 Рік тому +6

    In the future I would recommend getting the Deathbrand armor set, you do have to be level 36 in order for the quest to proc but it is definitely worth it. If you do a little min-maxing it's an amazing armor set especially if you use the shout (I can't think of it's name atm)that increases your attack speed, it literally turns you into a blender.

      @ianjames1754 Рік тому

      That’s true…
      But a very weak paralysis poison will almost always work with a decent pickpocket skill level and a couple of Fortify Pickpocket enchanted equipment or potions.
      Once they’re climbing back to their feet, pickpocket them at this moment before they recover and even though it says the chance of success is 0% - 90% the actual chance is 100%
      Now you can put OP poisons, weapons or whatever else you want to plant in their inventory or steal anything you want from them!
      It’s a handy trick to steal large sums of money back from skill trainers.
      You can Frenzy powerful NPC’s like this if you don’t want to poison a weapon to do it which might kill them (although this is a good trick for killing DB contracts without it being registered as a crime) or you want your target to create a huge drama and start fighting with everyone in sight.

And once you get her as a follower, you can't do any offensive spell or attack in any form. Why? Because everyone seems to hate on her. Oh, and you have to play as a wood elf.

    I have two challenges in mind that would prove rather interesting. One being rather tedious (unless you accept my easier mode option) and the other just being a bit more fun.
    The first one is can you beat Skyrim only with shouts. Most shouts are very useful early game, but their damage pool drops fast once you start to level up. You are allowed to use a mod that reduces shout cool down to zero if you want, but if you're a mad lad that loves pain, the Amulet of Talos will help as well.
    The second challenge is can you beat Skyrim with only Wabbajack (or other Daedric artifacts). I feel like Wabbajack would just be an insanely chaotic run that would be more fun than anything. It also has the added perk of doing crazy elemental damage to dragons and other bosses. So it wont be too irritating with its effects. I inserted other Daedric artifacts because the CC adds a bunch more like Goldbrand (its so good) and Umbra to name a few.
    I hope you take this into consideration. I love your challenge vids and I hope you have an amazing rest of November.
