  • Forsworn Ravagers are pretty strong archers, and it turns out they're even better than expected. Let's see how good they really are in fights!
    The Ravager in this video is using glass arrows because he can naturally spawn with them. Additionally to their regular Forsworn arrows, Forsworn archers have a chance to spawn with leveled arrows. The exact type depends on the level of the individual Forsworn. Ravagers can have anything from iron up to glass quality.
    When an NPC is getting hit by arrows, those can get added to their inventory. Archers that are getting shot at with stronger arrows than their own will switch to the new ones and use them. This is especially noticable with the Warmonger at 3:50.
    The opponent showing up in the blooper at 7:44 is the Nightbringer by Caerulean:

    Thats neat how the Forsworn archers use the environment to their advantage. Seems that they are programmed to play to the environmental unlike other archers who just stand there and open fire. I wonder if they would act the same outside of their home turf or if it's specific programming for combat in their strongholds. Great showcasing as always. 👍

    • @lSlendermaster
      @lSlendermaster  10 місяців тому +2

      I believe all archers and mages act like that, depending on the environment, but some places are better than others. 😅 This area seems to be good for showing that indeed! And thank you!

      The Deathlord archers are one of those enemies - particularly the ones with the Ebony bows and arrows - that used to catch me off guard quite a lot throughout the game; even at higher levels.
      The amount of times walking past that overlooked alcove in an ancient Nordic tomb then suddenly hearing a dry, raspy voice say “Fus-“ from somewhere behind me and knowing what’s going to happen and not being able to do anything about it…

    It might have been a mod but I remember getting absolutely trucked by a forsworn archer that had Daedric arrows. Just smashed right through my Ebony armor I was wearing at the time. I was baffled how some fools in furs waving sticks around could be so dangerous, but that didn't make them kill me any slower. Great fights, thanks for sharing!

    I like how even during playing, you recognise enemies whose abilities are way over the top in comparison with their appearance. Forsworn ravager archers (guys in fur clothing) have a low health bar but we want to make them stand out, so how do we do that? Compensate it with arrows which inflict massive amounts of damage. How do we make an ''undead Draughr Overlord'' special and stand out from the other enemies? Give him a health bar that suprasses that of a blood Dragon. A ''dremora Valkynaz'' has a pretty low health bar, how can we make him stand out from other enemies? Simple, make him the only enemy with a burning sword to insta-kill any player that never bothered with defence against fire weapons.

    1. The Bear one was arguibly the most impressive lol. I dunno what it is with RPGs making Bears the most annoying enemies in the game XD
    2. The Dwarven Sphere probably would have won if it had gone into close quarters
    3. Malkoran's spells seem to basically obstruct the Ravager's line of sight, making his AI just stand there, unable to take a shot
    4. Thr Draugr Deathlord basically waited for him to poke his head out lol
    5. The damage they were doing to Kaarstag was *impressive*
