We need a full scale LOTR RPG in the vein of Elder Scrolls and The Witcher 3 and such. The Shadow games are fun, but they're very much meant to be played a certain way as opposed to the more open ended style of games.
The best part about being dumb in Fallout, was that in the second game, there was ONE other guy with a low INT score....and you could have a straight, if not eloquent, conversation with him only if you were on the same "wavelength".
In New Vegas, there were many hilarious conversation options with low Int, from "Me deal with bunny hunter" instead of bounty hunter, to "Me shoulder!" or "Me make pizza." or shouting "Ice cream!" at a robot asking for a password... which works. Along with which, you can also have a remarkably coherent chat with an otherwise incomprehensible drunk and can get Arcade Gannon as a companion early as he deems you to need saving from yourself.
Some advice: when you play Hollow Knight and engage in a fight with the Nightmare Troupe leader Grimm, DON'T hit him while he's bowing. He'll screech and immediately start using attacks he normally only uses in his second phase.
There's actually a way to get through that Dawnguard DLC without vampirism if you need it. It involves soul trapping yourself though, and doesn't involve pointy teeth so you do you.
kai magnus yeah I was playing a modded game and I didn’t realize how badly coded swing speed increases are, put on the Golden Gauntlets from Zelda and had the dual wielding perk and boom, daggers faster than the game can keep up with. Made the game waaay too easy even with a pickaxe
randomman10396 Advanced Dwarven Crossbow (more powerful than a Dragonbone Bow)+ Fire Dwarven Bolts + a few enchantments and you have easily the strongest hitting ranged weapon in the game. And buying the bolts in bulk from Sorin and Gunmar is really cheap too.
Unless of course you miss the quest giver that you yourself told to come join the Dawnguard and miss out on being taught how to make crossbows, but even then the bolts lying around the fort restock.
NaturalOdd that happened to me in half life 2 and it wasn’t even like I could move around or anything and I’m pretty sure it was an autosave and it would literally load and then instantly kill me
That's what I didn't like about the list. They completely ignored the temporary stat reduction being almost nothing (plus using the plants there you can negate the lifesteal effect of the giant black soul gems so your reduced HP is safe). If you become a vampire you gain health and magic, sure, but you also gain a 50% aversion to fire damage, and if you've climbed high enough into the restoration tree an adept pyromancer with a firebolt can one shot you if you haven't invested enough points into your health. Also when you're a vampire your health, magic, and stamina have stunted regeneration when you are outside during the day (75% at stage 3 vampirism and 100% at stages 1 and 2), which basically make you have to carry around Bloodcursed Elven Arrows and Auriel's Bow even if you have only base archery later in the game to negate these effects, and also make a painful grind to farm Elven Arrows late game because everything scales with your level. Once you pass I think level 13-20 range where the arrows appear, good luck trying to find them if you don't have the gold to buy them from Hestia.
@@Percival7116 You can negate most of all of those Vampire Lord detriments by being clever, or simply enchanting your gear. Frost and Lightning damage are not so frequent in the game that they need to be worried about, but you can easily enchant, say a shield, and have plenty of fire resistance to negate imminent death. Also, the Vampire Lords get access to incredibly powerful restoration potions that require incredibly little effort to produce. In addition, the Vampire Lord perks are incredibly powerful versus those humanoids that are actually a threat to you. Making Gold in the game is a very simple and easy chore. But it is just that: A chore. Buying enough arrows to last for a very long time is child's play once you actually know the game. And once you are a high enough level, you'll most likely be using an entirely different tier of bow & arrow to do your dirty work, which leaves literally any Elven Arrow you find free for transferrance in to a Bloodsoaked version. Auriel's Bow, sadly, is not the strongest bow in the base game it self, although it is rather cool. That's also discounting exploits for blacksmithing and alchemy crafting a bow with -XXXXXXXX damage levels to one-shot anything in the game. And I've personally never had to once rely on health, stamina or magicka regeneration in the game as a crutch so as to be worthy of any noteworthiness in regards to caring to counter-build the negative stat effects of a Stage 3 Vampire Lord. You can play at full Stage 3 without issues, even on Legendary difficulty at level 80. /shrug I at least never had any issue playing as a Vampire Lord in Dawnguard DLC or anywhere else, but I also play as an archer or a dw dagger Rogue.
But all of your enchantment buffs on your armor go away when u turn into the vampire lord form otherwise your just a player with extra hassles to deal with
You don't have to become a vampire lord to complete Dawnguard. You could just have Serana capture your soul for the duration you are in the Soul Cairn.
Also, if you want her to turn you into a vampire, for the duration of the soul cairn, you can drop the curse immediately after the quest by talking to the wizard that lives in Morthal if I remember correctly. That option becomes available after you try to talk to any member of the Dawnguard as a vampire.
@@jeffspillerII Falion's vampire cure was included in the base game (since every TES game has had vampires in it, and the possibility of becoming one). The prompt to visit him coming from innkeepers sharing rumors. Or take the werewolf option from the Companions, and keep the melee advantage with a side of the classic fur versus fang.
...How is turning into a chicken accidentally making the game harder? What person looks at the option to become a chicken and goes, "Clearly this has no drawbacks whatsoever and won't make the game a hellish nightmare!"?
No, going off half-cocked like that will always come home to roost. You need to hatch your plan carefully if you don't want to fowl it up. Putting all your eggs in one basket and counting your chickens before they hatch is sure to end with egg on your face.
You know... you can just do the missions to get the pimp cane of crossbows and then enhance it with enchantments to make a crossbow that eats out the opposition more than Johnny sins. All while being a werewolf that's just the vampire Lord without the magic and sundamage. Thank you for your time.
No, you don't have to become a vampire for the Dawnguard quest. You can become partially soul trapped, which let's you enter the soul cairn like normal. Then you get your soul untrapped later on.
If you really want "unintentionally difficult" in fallout 1 & 2, try playing with minimal luck. Almost every attack you make will result in critical failure, while every attack against you will have critical success. Want to hire a companion and have him fight for you? He'll "crit fail" so hard he turns around and sprays you with bullets. I guess it's your own fault for wearing a giant "13" on your chest.
It's more annoying (and also lowers stuff like lockpicking chance) than significantly harder unless you sabotage your build in other areas. Crit fails still aren't common. The real problem is you need 6 luck for Better Criticals perk which is the best. Go lower strength and luck, you can still be good with great perception, endurance, agility, int and even charisma.
Or if you are playing Fallout 4, it's the Phillip Fry build! (because we was frozen and thawed out after hundreds of years!) (Just make sure to give him orange hair!)
Karma Gladiator there are a lot of very useful skills you just cannot learn that walls a bunch of stuff off until you get companions, and the Idiot Savant skill in Fallout 4 pretty much breaks the game.
Hell, I finished both original Fallouts with moron characters, it was no harder than normal. Also, I almost pissed myself laughing when I met WhatWasHisName in the first village in 2 (also complete moron, and only genuine conversation for characters with INT
nah in fallout 4 the best is high int high luck when idiot savant stacks with high int the results are insane like gaining 5 levels off a single quest turn in
16:19 You don’t actually have to become a vampire to enter the soul cairn, becoming partially soul trapped allows you to enter, then you can prioritize recovering the soul gem to remove the debuff, then you can take on the soul cairn missions on regular footing.
@@IDK-uu9mt "plays on box TV's" Are you saying you don't know anyone who still uses/has a box tv? But going back to my original question are you saying that you know of an older model box tv that had ports for games consoles? The last couple of generations of Box TV's as far as I can remember did not "pop"
Not to mention the cross bow is a super powerful weapon and you can basically craft infinite ammo using the dawnguard's smithy (there's free iron there all the time) so pfff
Believe it or not there was a quite literal accidental hard mode in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. You see, when the game was being localized for areas outside of Japan the localizers accidentally labeled the game's "normal" mode as "easy" and "hard" mode as "normal". So whenever a new player started a game and choose to play the game on normal, maybe because it's natural to do so or they're an experienced player, they unwittingly made the game much harder for themselves.
I thought you were going to say that moment in one of the Fire Emblem games where you're looking through random houses to find someone and for some reason, the Black Knight is in one of the houses. I watched my friend play it and he found the Black Knight only for his whole squad to get obliterated
God I loved FE Radiant Dawn. Made me feel like a badass for figuring out how to beat Chapter 2 endgame on Hard (maniac mode) by beating the boss guy instead of waiting out all the turns (for maximum bonus xp)
You got something wrong in the last one. You NEVER have to become a Vampire. When entering the Soul Cairn you can become partially Soultrapped, which can easily be fixed inside.
100% correct the person doing the video need to play and complete the game before making the video and commenting on what he has no idea about 2 for 2 wrong comment on Skyrim in the video, hope the person making the video please stop your wrecking the game thanks
Yeah actually the dawnguard are better across the board. Spells, weapons, companions are all better. The only thing the vamps get is a spell or two that can be used to heal undead, because dawnguard characters can get the vampire lord whenever they want. The only up real upside is maybe the dawnguard won’t attack you while you’re in town
I wonder if there's a video about those conversations on UA-cam. :-) It kind of sounds like that one part in the first Freedom Force game where you come upon two goons discussing quantum physics in a back alley. "You're dreaming, Louie! You can't just charge a quark and expect it to behave like a positron!" "All I'm saying is that Heisenberg's First Principle clearly states that...uh oh. Superheroes! Get in character!" "I smash you good!" "Hey! Hey, you!" Something like that. :-)
Melting in Nuclear Throne. "Less HP? Well it's usually 8, so I guess 6 or so will be fine." You say, before staring on in horror as you see "2" as your max HP.
The entire portion on Skyrim is wrong. 1. The game does not become much harder as a Dawnguard. It stays the same. 2. Vampires lose magicka, stamina, and health regeneration in daylight unless they maintain fedness. They also gain a weakness to fire which does make the game harder. 3. Vampire lord is cumbersome and using it in public is a crime. You do not gain 'morph' bonuses while not morphed. Most vampire spells that are useful are utility spells. 4. You are not forced to become a vampire, you can easily do the soul cairn without it and even if you do choose to become a vampire, you still retain access to Dwarven Crossbows and Enchanted bolts. 5. As a Dawnguard that became a vampire for the soul cairn, you can easily cure it as well as get it again later at leisure.
Their saying it was harder confused me as well, as I didn't find being in Dawnguard for that story line any harder than any other part of the game. Being a vampire just sounds like having extra housework that no one but you appreciates.
The real skyrim hard mode is levelling anything other than weapon / armour skills because all the enemies scale to your level even though you didn’t actually get stronger (levelling illusion for example).
Being a Dawnguard wasn't hard at all if you had a melee character. Sure you don't get the +50 stat points, but it's not like it made it harder than it already was.
Yeah, I picked Dawnguard since...that was the name of the DLC, didn't expect that to be the 'special' choice...but I had a spellsword with awesome range abilities-build. So a sniper, that could also heal and fight close-combat. So it wasn't hard anyway.
In the Dawnguard DLC, I never turned into a Vampire. I used the soul gem method to get into the Soul Carin, which in and of itself is inadvertently putting the game on hard mode, since entering the Soul Carin using a soul gem halves all your stats. Yet, despite that, I prevailed - all while staying a werewolf.
Honestly, doing the soul gem method isn't that bad. Plus, you can get your "soul" back easily enough. I think the video really misses the mark on this one. Playing as a vampire is garbage, plus outside of Serana (who you can convince to become human at the end, if you pick the right dialog path) none of them are remotely likeable.
Disagree with the Dawnguard one for a number of reasons. First, playing as a Vampire Lord wasn’t really all it’s cracked up to be. I didn’t really feel like the combat was fun, nor did it make fighting easier. It was a laugh at first, then it got boring. The skill tree was confusing and an added chore on top of all the other shit that piled on me. It certainly wasn’t worth limited strength in daylight and having to remember to drink blood regularly. Second, the “crappy crossbow” was far more accurate and far more powerful than most other bows that I had crafted at that point in the game. And if you need ammunition, just visit dwemer ruins - every dwarven sphere and Centurion has them. Third, from a role playing point of view, the ending felt a lot more like a climax if you were a Dawnguard member. You recover Auriel’s Bow, return to the Dawnguard and then, as a team, launch a final assault on Castle Volkihar and kill Harkon. As a vampire, you just return home, fight Harkon and everyone just says “meh, never liked him. Let’s get on with doing evil vampire shit.”
Yeah, the story is way better! You can actually craft bolts if I'm remembering it right? And given that the dawnguard smithy is full of iron... And yeah, the vampire lord seems to suck. Both the werewolf and vampire lord are pretty clunky tbh (maybe it's the forced third person) and the only reason i tried vampire lord was because there's an achievement for the perks... which is a PAIN
In the Dawnguard dlc of Skyrim you don't have to become a vampire. You can instead choose to be partially soul trapped which will make your stats slightly shittier but you're still not a vampire. Then you can retrieve your soul back while in soul cairn. Then again, becoming a vampire temporarely is not a big deal since you can go straight to Falion in Morthal and cure your vampirism after the quest.
That's also an option however you can only reclaim your werewolf form once from Aela. If you get rid of it again then there's no way to become a werewolf again unless you use mods.
Well according to the UESP website it says: "The Dawnguard add-on allows you to restore your lycanthropy with help from Aela the Huntress. You can only do this once; if you cure it again, you cannot regain yourlycanthropy from Aela. If you restore your lycanhtropy, you will keep all of the werewolf perks you had before." So that would suggest you can only restrore it once.
While yeah, you don't have to, becoming partially soul trapped does lower some stats, which does make it a bit harder (And thus, does add into the video) but...let's be fair, Skyrim really isn't difficult regardless-
yup, besides smithing and alchemy can make crossbows that one shot vampires in Legendary dif, so i don't see why they say it makes the game harder. NOOBS! xD
@@maidwithascythe7156 you can get Durhneviihr as a Vampire Lord as well. And you get Auriel's bow. A bow that temporarily darkens the sun so you don't have sun damage. You get multiple powers the vanpiric drain spell and the Drain Vitality shout the first word.
How did you forget Silent Hill: the Room? In a game where you need to pick up just about anything to help yourself. The villain offers you an item. Once you put that item in your storage it becomes permanently haunted and injures you every time you open storage again.
Cruddi - clearly we all need to make sad faces at all the people so someone eventually remakes it without the bugs, with more companions/friends (and let's us save our Heather) 😪😭😿🐕🐶
"Crappy crossbow" Uh, what? The crossbow in Skyrim was one of the most broken weapons I've ever used there, especially the "Enhanced" versions that pierce the enemy's defenses by half. Ammo was plentiful considering you could not only purchase and craft crossbow bolts yourself, but you could eventually get elemental versions of them for added damage. My goodness, I love Marksmanship/Archery in the Elder Scrolls... Typing up that response gave me such an urge to replay Skyrim. I believe I'll do that now.
Fantastic! Kept jumping back and forth between my stealthy male Bosmer archer, sword-and-shield male Imperial knight, and lightning-abusing female Altmer mage. There’s just one problem. Once again, I don’t want to play anything else because I want to keep exploring and re-discovering locations and events that made me fall hopelessly in love with this game, glitches and all.
Here's another hard game mode: Having a conversation with someone whose name you have completely forgotten but you don't want to ask because that'd seem rude.
Caitlin RC my neighbour's kids are always playing out the front yard and sometimes the parents are with them and they always call my name and say hi when they see me... But i can't for the life of me remember any of their names and now I'm too afraid to ask
This was my entire school life. One time, this girl started hanging out with me and already knew my name, but I had never heard her name. We were friends for months and I to this day have no clue what her name is.
The one time I played the first Dark Souls game, I was talking to my friend. I went through the first dungeon thing, and lit my first bonfire (or was it the second?). There was this dude, The Crestfallen Warrior, and he was being all insulting to me, like Nazeem in Skyrim. So I asked my friend if the Warrior is a plot essential NPC (wanted to be sure I could actually kill him) and my friend said no. Well, right after I attempt to swing my sword at him, my friend is all like, "But don't attack him, Joe!" Que the next hour of me learning how to parry in order to kill this guy who remembers you trying to murder him after he has killed you, because you're like undead or something, with him saying things like "That was embarrassing! How could you let me do this to you?" I literally put down the controller and went outside for a smoke break, during which he probably killed me like 20 times. On the plus side, my friend told me that I had the quintessential Dark Souls experience, so there is that. I did feel pretty great watching his dead body fall to the ground, so, trade offs.
@@JayTDemi i tried killing an npc (i wanted his sword) died like 8 times (didnt know how to parry, just dodging) i eventually killed him... CANT FUCKING USE THE SWORD BECAUSE IM NOT STRONG ENOUGH EGGJGHHEHEHGHGHHJGGHHGHGEGHE
@@matildezilio8948 i dont fricken remember, all i know is he has a two handed sword about as big as the buster sword and i wanted it so i attacked him and died a bunch this is dark souls 2 or 3 dont remember
Given how insanely overpowered crafting can be in Skyrim an upgraded crossbow can one-shot nearly anything. Also you can take a temporary debuff to go into the Soul Cairn.
The staggers. Crossbows have an innate stagger chance that stacks with the Power Shot perk. This means 3/4 of your shots cause enemies to flinch in place. Crossbows also have a good long distance trajectory for precision sniping. Combine the two and Crossbows start to seem superior to regular Bows.
Shadow God best way I found was I found the Transmute spell which lets you turn iron ore into silver and silver to gold, then I just kept building jewelry, it gives pretty good smithing xp, doesn't require a huge amount of materials, and as a bonus I would enchant all of it to rapidly build up my enchanting skill. Transmute is a upper mid tier alteration spell so boosting that tree makes it work easier too.
My first time playing skyrim, i turned into a vampire on accident, i had no idea it was happening until well after there was no going back. Made the game SO much harder to progress or do some quests because almost everyone was so scared of my guy. Eventually i was able to find a way to cast some fear spells but it still wasn't 100% effective.
But think about how hilarious that was from the character's POV. Just "Why am I thirsty all the time. Why does the sun hurt? Why does everyone run from me screaming? Who can help me solve this riddle?"
In Silent Hill 4, a game where you are TAUGHT TO PICK UP THINGS, a guy asks if you want this little doll and then just leaves. If you pick it up you automatically just lose half your health permanently for the rest of the game. And you're only like 20% of the way through the game at that point.
Baga got a point here, we're in Silent Hills dammit, how many times players had to go back and check the whole hospital because we forgot to take a thing that's used in a puzzle? I sure wouldn't forget something nearly presented as a scenaristic element
Did a run with human Dawnguard, and you can enter the Soul Cairn by giving a part of your Soul up in a Soul gem for awhile and you're all good to go. No need to become an enemy of both groups.
Is just me or is that whole dawn guard segment a bit false when they said you have to become a vampire. I distinctly remember doing the quest they briefly showed, staying human by using a special soul gem or something when going into the portal.
You just lose like 9 levels in everything temporily- you lose 45 pts of all three states till you find your Essence Gem and "untrap" yourself. Then you're fine. I was even a were wolf killing undead down there for a while.
David North It’s so insignificant that I never noticed that during all three of my dawnguard play throughs. Plus the soul cairn enemies, save for the keepers and the secret reaper boss (whom my father managed to find accidentally), are all in all pretty easy.
Warhammer Online had a chicken mode too. If you tried to gank a low level player as a much more powerful character, the game turned you into a chicken for doing so. However, you could still attack- you just did very little damage to other players, and could get killed in one shot... Unless those players were also turned into chickens. That made it a fair fight once more!... Between two chickens. Whole guilds used to arrange mass chicken fights in low level PVP lakes, Order players were little white hens, Destruction players were horrible undead turkeys. There were even rewards for killing loads of chicken players, as a chicken. Including dead chickens you could hang on your armor, and a chicken Cape similar to the one in the video.
I love that Fallout actually went through the time and effort to make an entirely different dialogue thread for a 0 (or at the least a very low) intelligence character... 😅
Silver Scale Productions contrary to the video, you can't have 0 Int in Fallout. The lowest SPECIAL score is 1 (2 if you chose the Gifted trait), the highest is 10 (regardless of traits).
Back in 2001, Troika Games released *Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura* which had the same feature, where a character with less than 3 intelligence got a different line of dialogue. So I created a Barbarian styled pretty girl, named Miss Arcanum, complete with a tiara and a pretty dress. She ended up being a pretty viable Melee fighter, wielding a huge two handed sword. *And* she was pretty AF, but dumb as a doornail ! It was pretty entertaining. :) I later made a spellcaster that ended up being the most evil Necromancer in history. And after reviving the king, and using him as a grotesque pet, he went on a killing spree, murdering ALL towns on the map. At that point, even the chickens attacked him on sight - It doesn't get much more evil than that!
@@Grumpy_old_Boot A bit late, but that is actually a great one for this video's topic. Healing was much harder for a technology-based character because beneficial spells no longer work on you. Poor Vergil, using all his action points to *try* to heal my half-ogre blacksmith.
Bad enough, since there weren't any sticky plasma grenades in the game, though I think that a certain game with sticky plasma grenades was responsible for getting the person in question used to the mistaken controls...
Another one for Dark Souls, when I originally played the first game, I thought Estus Flasks were a limited consumable item so I was trying to save them for when the game got even harder than it already was, but I was really struggling to get anywhere without them, lol.
I remember doing the Shire-to-Rivendell Chicken Run in a LotRO Fellowship, one party of chickens guarded by one party of regular characters. It was a pretty epic journey.
DerpsCantFly I can understand the confusion, so let me clarify. Here, to give yourself some context, read through a bunch of the comments here in the comment section. You'll see tons of dark souls players pointing out just how many mistakes this guy made and how little he actually knows about the game. Clearly, he's someone with almost 0 dark souls knowledge and didn't do any research on the franchise before making this video. Does that at all sound like the kind of person you want to get all your information from? So yes, it absolutely is pronounced "Smo", which is phonological to "sumo".
Zakk Vanish Oh yeah it's definately up there for hardest DS1 bosses, especially if you go into it blind not knowing that when one dies the other gets a buff and full heal. And it's even worse if you miss Solaire's summon sign and try to fight them alone. Although I'd still argue that they're not the hardest boss in the game. I'd have to give that award to the Bed of Bullshit
the main disadvantage of being a werewolf is that you can't use ranged weapons in wolf form. it's a real pain when fighting enemies who CAN use them. you also don't get the "rested" bonus when training your skills! ps: on the positive side, there are some friendly werewolves in Solstheim (the Dragonborn DLC area), who will sell you some interesting magical rings. the best one (imo) is the one that increases your health regen.
When creating your Commander Shepard you have to make a choice: do you make them a Soldier for the additional health and weapon damage, an Adept to get all the cool biotic powers, maybe mix and match the two as an Adept or a Vanguard...or spend the next 20+ hours asking yourself why you thought being an Engineer was a good idea as you have the lowest HP of all classes, basic armour, can only use pistols and the decryption and electronics skills doesn't even exist for the two thirds of the trilogy that follow the first game so there's absolutely no bonus for having them anyway.
Engineer Shepard is easy mode for ME3. Deploy turrets and hide in cover, only popping up to refresh them or pop off a power/odd shot.... It's how I did insane mode.
I'd much rather struggle through as a badass crusader in pursuit of destroying Molag Bal's horrific creations, rather than not heal or recharge in the sun
Yeah, if you want to play a whole vampire or werewolf based character, you have no other choice than using mods. Those are pretty good, though. Better / different models for both, better and bigger skill trees, buffed up stats that make your transformation feel like an actual powerful cooldown, new moon / full moon phases that buff up either vampires or werewolves, a disease spreading system so you can not just feed on your victims but actually transform them to vampires/werewolves as well and last but not least - buffed up dawnguard hunters that immersively track you down and actually pose a threat to you even at lvl 250 or whatever. Was quiet fun playing as a nord werebear with survival and immersive fauna mods active. Good ol' memories (;
As I understand it, the reason Chris doesn't start with a gun is because he dropped it in the woods during that opening chased-by-evil-dogs sequence. He also has a higher chance of landing critical headshots than Jill does, but since that isn't advertised, most players are going to either not notice it or put it down to luck, before moving on to the later enemies that those don't apply to.
Yup. The other "advantage" he has is that he gets free poison cure from the snake if he gets bitten, thanks to Rebecca. At least it's something if you haven't found any blue herbs yet.
The crossbows you can get from Dawnguard pack quite the punch however, and you can get them very early on, essentially getting a late game weapon in exchange for only a few quests. And you can use it without the entire city attacking you.
Having intelligence of zero in Fallout is like one of the funniest things I've ever seen! 😂 I need to play that right now! Where can I download it!? Steam?
FTL: Faster than Light has some tough ships. Those stealth cruisers sound pretty cool, don't they? Fancy sensors, a slick paint job, and the most useful module in the game from the start! One small problem...they don't come with shields, which you will discover are probably a bit more useful than turning invisible for 5 seconds at a time after getting pelted by asteroids a few times.
It has shields. (And the main reason that I mention the stealth cruiser is that I've used it a lot. It's tough, but fun. I know I've played the Slug Cruisers, but they didn't really stand out in my memory.)
Oh God, the stealth cruisers are hard! O_O I don’t think I ever got past the second or third system with them. Granted, they’re fun to try to play as, dying a lot is kind of part of FTL, but you’ll not be in for an easy time of it initially.
Ways to make games harder? Punch 1 person in an open area in Hitman. This mode proceeds to make you have to kill every guard that begins to hunt you down just because you pressed a wrong button.
Teallen96 Like the time I accidentally ticked off all the guards in the Blue Palace because I accidentally Shouted due to a hair trigger on the Switch.
I loaded up Fallout 4 after not playing for a while and accidentally shot Doctor Sun in the knee. I mean the guy DESERVED it for being annoying but then the entire settlement turned on me. I activated a mod and sent a guard into space.
Exactly! The crossbow kills most vampires in one hit while sneaking. My advice is to not start Dawnguard until you acquire Dawnbreaker, and have met Parthurnax. This is partly because doing so can potentially lead to you being unable to complete quest objectives for the main quest, thus preventing you from finishing it.
@@Valencetheshireman927 you decide. I think that it's worth it. If you're in a mission that you normally can't complete you can change into Vampire Lord form and it becomes easier. You do need to be in your Vampire Lord form often for it to get more powerful. Transform only in caves full of bandits or draugr. And if you have a follower make sure that they see you transform. Then they won't hurt you.
@@alexdoorn234 Bro, being a werewolf is better. Because, you get a 100% immunity to all kinds of diseases. On top of that, they have a skill tree lvl. up system(no clue about the Vampire high lord).
I disagree about the Dawnguard DLC for me it was an easy choice, either be Van Helsing or be baby barf green with twigs for "wings", after a good long laugh I said NO.
The choice is even easier if you're trying to play as a sneaky character. Vampire Lord mode is really just good for running up and murdering folks and while using it you can't sneak or talk to anyone, so a thief would rarely need it. All that leaves you with is a weakness to fire, a need to feed, and a castle full of boring vampire friends I never bothered getting to know.
On the whole, going dawnguard isn't all that bad, though rejecting Harkon's first off does make that Soul Cairn adventure A LOT more of a hassle then it could have been: having to do it as either a starving fledgling, then having to faff around getting a cure afterwards because Isran has trust issues, or get soul trapped and then have to "fix" your soul inside the Soul Cairn.
Except Vampires get a bonus to Sneak and Illusion magic. Fully perked out there are very few enemies who can resist a Vampire's charm magics. If they do, just slam an Elixir of Illusion and problem solved. The weakness in sunlight can be a bother though.
and even vamp lord form doesn´t make you THAT much stronger .like a normal mage build will rock this. i mean becoming a vampire CAN get you OP (necromage) but any dull vampire will do for that matter. Actually the vampire lord form won´t even be good because necromage gets your enchantments and buffs through the roof (including your weapon enchantments if i´m not mistaken.) making a sword and board fighter the toughewst Mofo in the world. but true if you join the dawnguard you probably won´t get to get that, but still you can get as broken op as you want in Skyrim. Skyrim is like "how overpowered can my character get? " "as powerful as you want if you take the right drugs to get crazy enough".DAwnguard get´s pretty easy as a destruction mage, any sort of fighter or the man the meme the sneak archer .
Lies joining the dawngaurd gets you 1. Dwarven crossbows 2. Exploding fire, frost, and shock bolts (dwarven and steel) 3. Enhanced crossbows (dwarven and steel) 4. All of the above you can craft 5. The dawngaurd rune hammer (enchantment: bash attacks on the ground make sun runes doing 50 points of sun damage. Most think it is broken but you must bash not attack) 6. The dawngaurd rune axe (enchantment: does 20+x sun damage, x being the number of undead killed up to a bonus sun damage of 100. Does NOT reset after the day passes) 7. The dawngaurd rune shield (+10 bash damage to vampires. Probably the weakest of the artifacts.) 8. All of the above can be improved. (Except bolts) 9. 4 new companions (for those who have mods allowing multiple followers.) 10. Sun magic (not much but a few good spells, even for non mages)
Here's a good one: starting the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4 causes very dangerous, high level robots and robot gangs spawn all over the map. It doesn't help that ADA can finish that fight herself while you just walk past, meaning smart players avoid that entire cell until they're ready to rush that DLC.
You don’t understand, the dawnguard is way better. You’re allowed to be a werewolf and that’s a million times better than a vampire. You don’t take sun de-buff nonsense. And yeah, at the start you get a “crappy crossbow” but you can unlocked the enhanced dwarven crossbow or whatever and that’s the best ranged weapon in the game, bolts are inexpensive, and you don’t have to recharge magica. And at the end, you can choose not to be a vampire if you choose the dawnguard storyline, it’s just harder
The point of a stealth illusion build is to make people fight each-other and pick off the rest with a knife, it is hilarious and i definitely recommend it.
I can assure you that playing as a Chicken in LOTRO is no accident. The joy of reaching Minas Tirith and flapping off the end of the prow is immense, not least because you've probably spent the last few hours chatting with a bunch of friends while they keep the marauding wildlife from murderating you. Earlier this year we took a team of Chickens to Mount Doom and jumped into a lava flow. Losing the Tolkien Professor to a Mûmak hidden behind a small tree was but a minor blip in the proceedings ;-) Having said that, the Chicken Play system does include one of the genuinely hardest questlines in the whole game, whereby you get an eight-hour time limit to visit various places around Middle-earth and if you fail you have to start from scratch-nearly as annoying as getting stomped by a stealth Mûmak ;-)
My problem with that entry was basically that same thing. "This is an accident?" Like, sure, a Masquerade player might not realize the Nosferatu is THAT bad, and a Fallout player might not be expecting their 0 INT minmaxing to come back on them... but who actually sees a thing saying "you can play as a chicken" and DOESN'T expect that it's going to make the game significantly harder?
Not sure what you mean by "boosted" but the deal is that a Chicken has single-figure HP so needs to be escorted almost anywhere outside the early zones of the game; also the in-game chat doesn't work between Chickens and other PCs. So we usually have Discord running so that we can communicate about upcoming hazards, and the whole thing can take hours…
"Gamer" "casual but enthusiastic player of LOTRO" We have lots of idiosyncratic terms which probably don't mean the same in other games, and since I don't play other games…
Tell that chicken part to the Cuckoo clan. They change Hyrule's fate more than enough, usually by destroying a certain mass pot murderer in a sea of feathers
Yeah, and the ”crappy crossbow” packs quite the punch. You know what you can do with a crossbow that you can’t to with vampire claws? Shot someone really far away with great accuracy.
Sorry, but in the Skyrim: Dawnguard, you don't *have* to become a Vampire. There is a proper choice given for those who don't want to become vampires at all.
Not to mention the game isn't really made harder by siding with the Dawnguard. Any experienced Skyrim player has no problem leveling up and acquiring powerful weapons/ammo. My max dragonbone bow with maxed out chaos and fire enchantments is all i need. Duel Dawnguard war axes more than do the job in close range.
you may not have to become a vampire, but you do have to knowingly spare an ancient vampire with an elder scroll for no reason and take her to her obviously also vampire father even though you're here to kill vampires.
This is from a guide about Resident Evil 1. It's accurate. There is more to the choice than inventory items. Chris Redfield -He has 6 item slots -If he gets posioned by Yawn (Giant Snake) Must play as Rebecca to get the serum -He has Rebecca get the V-jolt, then fights Plant 42 manually -He gets a flamethrower to deal with Black Tiger (Giant Spider) -He has a lighter on hand (used to burn incapitated zombies so they don't turn into Crimson heads) -He is much better with weapons -He has to use Old Keys to unlock things -He has more health -Has Rebecca as a partner (Can heal you) -He starts out with only a knife but quickly obtains a handgun -He has flash grenades which if you shoot them, destorys a zombies brain, killing them for good (defensive item) When you first play as Chris, he loses his handgun and only has a knife to use, Jill and Wesker go into the mansion with him and Barry is nowhere to be seen. They hear a noise and Chris goes alone to investigate. When he returns, Jill and Wesker are gone and he quickly finds Jill's handgun and uses it. He later finds Rebecca who becomes his partner. Jill Valentine -She has 8 item slots -She can avoid fighting Plant 42 -She gets a grenade launcher later on -She has a lockpick (doesn't require Old Keys to open things) -She is slower and and weaker with weapons -She has less health -She has Barry as a partner (saves her a few times) -She starts out with a handgun -She has Stun Guns which make the zombies fall down (Defensive item) When you first play as Jill, you start off with a Handgun and a knife, She enters the mansion with Barry and Wesker with Chris nowhere to be seen. They hear a noise and go and investigate with Barry, when Jill and Barry return, Wesker has disappeared and Jill and Barry split up. Barry becomes Jill's partner.
Not just from guides. This information was in the manual for the game. I had the PS1 and Sega Saturn versions. Well Chris having more health, being stronger at hand to hand fighting was in the official manual. The rest I corroborate with personal experience. Out of the dozens of times i've played the original game and the remake. I've only used Chris once. Those inventory slots are just too valuable.
I’m happy you pointed out he dropped his gun running from the cerberus during the opening. The whole knife rant gave me douche chills, hopefully they do better research in the future. But I read the SD Perry book “The Umbrella Conspiracy” too which adds a lot more substance to the resident evil noire.
In the Fallout franchise being a foolish fool with low intelligence can actually help rather than hinder. In Fallout New Vegas to get Arcade Gannon as a companion (one of the best in my opinion) you can do a bunch of quests for the Followers of the Apocalypse or you can simply have an intelligence of three or lower and say "This place is really complicated and stuff. You're smart, can you help me do... stuff?" and Arcade with join you out of sympathy.
At vault city in fallout 2 there is a prototype auto-doc that will kill you 95% of the time if you do not fix it but, if you have minimum intelligence it will never kill you.
WHAT?! Really, not being a vampire is harder? Did you forget about werewolf form? It's far stronger then vampire lord when both are maxed out mainly because you don't have to keep firing arrows into the sun or drinking blood to hide the fact your an abomination. Guards may make guesses from the hair and your wet dog smell but they still wont attack. Also going with the the Dawnguard you can get the strongest bow in the game. The enhanced dwarven cross bow, which you can enchant and load with enchanted bolts. I love dragon bone weapons but three enchantment are just overpowered and you have max range with every shot.
Also, another downside to Vampires is that they cant one shot most enemies. A maxed out werewolf sprint attack can one hit kill dragons, giants, mammoths, and so on. It how ever, WILL NOT kill the ebony warrior.
Don't try werewolf against the warrior. I was wrecked in moments... Once he picked himself up. Even tried slapping him off the mountain. I tried the frost giant ghost and the undead dragon at the same time because they both have their own summons.Took me so many tries lol.
I don't know I literally wiped the floor with every enemy I faced werewolfs,dawnguard,deathlords, you name it. Even when I was in daylight I stayed blood dragon a frost dragon and a bear simultaneously.
Edwin Samuel at what level and difficulty? If you can keep out of enemies range and not get fucked over as a vampire lord in daylight on normal difficulty and up, more power too you. We who like pack life will stick with our mostly one hit kill sprint and not having to drink blood every five day so towns folk won’t try and kill up. Vampire lord is fun. Hell I love calling forth four gargoyles when conjuration is maxed. ((You’ll need a vampire necklace and conjuration at max)) But I got shit to sell and I can’t do that if I have to keep drinking blood or shooting arrows into the sky to survive.
I have to disagree emphatically with the segment on Dawnguard. Becoming a vampire imo is not worth all the penalties that come with it. And the crossbow is actually amazing. Once you upgrade it and start getting all the special magic bolts it is arguably overpowered. My favorite bow by a mile. Not the mention the Dawnguard is an incredible faction with all kinds of great followers, shop tenders, armored troll followers, etc.
It was easy for me to side with the Dawnguard. After all, being a vampire meant you can't regenerate health or stamina in the sun, forcing you to rely on a ton of potions to get by. And that's not mentioning that you can make tons of crossbow bolts thanks to the smithing skill, as well as the upgraded dwarven crossbow.
If you enchant your armor with regeneration buffs for all 3 resources then you effectively negate the sunlight debuff. OR you can enchant it with only magicka regen and then put points into restoration so that you can use your magicka to heal both your HP and stamina, since being a vampire makes your character undead the "necromage" perk boosts all healing spells cast on yourself. OR OR you can finish the vampire questline which gives you a bow you can use to block out the sun, thus removing the debuff.
Hey, first and only time I played Bloodlines I went as a Nos. Won the game that way! The stealth tricks helped me bypass whole gauntlets and take down some of the toughest bosses. Well, tricks and manipulating the game mechanics. I took down Ming-Xiao with melee weapons by spamming the save files. Took down the Sheriff by crouching under a stairwell!
Try actually playing the books.. They've been around since the 80s. Gangrel can be hard in older versions as every time you frenzy you get a new animal features. After 20 you barely look human.
The sad thing is that in actual pen and paper Vampire, Nosferatu characters can be one of the easier Clans to play for beginners. Since, unlike in Bloodlines, one of the Obfuscate powers 'Mask of a Thousand Faces' lets you disguise your appearance (at least to living things, you'll still look the same on cameras) and walk around in public. It also lets you disguise yourself convincingly as someone else (someone specific or just generally someone not you) without needing to use extensive make-up and acting abilities. (And of course, pen and paper, unlike Bloodlines, lets your character wear clothes that largely disguise their inhuman features and doesn't force all Nosferatu to walk around in bondage gear.) And of course Nosferatu, ironically, don't have any negative social hangups or stereotypes attached to them, unlike... Well... All of the other Clans. (The Tremere are universally distrusted and even hated, the Malkavians are seen as either crazy and dangerous or crazy and pointless, the Toreador are considered frivolous and decadent, the Ventrue are seen as aloof despots and anal control freaks, the Brujah are considered hotheaded malcontents and the Gangrel are often seen as little better than animals... While the Nosferatu are at worst pitied and given some leeway for their appearance, but more frequently considered dependable, knowledgeable and decent.)
Nossies are also the only ones who actually get along with their clans too I think??? In a game all about power where childe cannot trust sire that's a ridiculous buff.
I don't remember that I had to become a vampire in the Dawnguard storyline. Was that when entering the soul cairn? There is another option. And you don't have to use crossbows. Even as an archer I didn't. Yoren was right about them.
That's because you're never "forced" you're given the choice again before entering the soul cairn. If you don't, it's a little more challenging....that's pretty much it.
I chose to became soul trapped, but it didn't get nerfed. Probably a bug and not a feature, since it clearly sad that I would be weaker. but I had a good laugh. And as a vampire lord, I found it really hard to play. lol
Becoming a vampire in Skyrim is awesome, but what about becoming a vampire in Morrowind for accidental hard mode? no health regeneration,taking damage during the day,cant use a siltstrider and most NPC's attack you on sight. Oh, and every time you sleep you wake up screaming from nightmares.
You can easily make your game way harder on accident in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. "Oh, you sold that object earlier in the game because you thought it wasn't important? Well, turns out you needed that for a sidequest, so either reload a save and lose all your progress to get it back, or live knowing you will never complete that sidequest". Add onto that the multiple chances you have of forgetting to save, only to find out the hard way when you die and the game sends you back to your last save, which was 30 minutes ago. And the many times you will make it harder on yourself by not stocking up on ammo, weapons, or medical supplies before a particularly difficult or long mission. And don't get me started on how much of a slog the early-game is in all the games (maybe not Call of Pripyat, because you start out with a submachine gun right away).
Panzer Man not only that, but selecting lower difficulty settings make things much worsefor you. Wanna get to play only for story? Good luck. All people take more bullets to kill
in COP you start out with an AK, but even then you have what i can consider as the best armor with the right upgrades, but even then you have decent amount of supplies and the area your in has humans that have varied weapon, well want to get some decent weapons for free and probably a bear detector, go to the saw mill those zombies take no effort, if not you will over stock on food, ammo, echo detectors, and so on but make sure to maintain your equipment
You also got the title "The Fool" when you successfully crossed the PVP zone in Lord of the Rings Online as chicken
I missed getting that title. Wish they'd bring it back.
We need a full scale LOTR RPG in the vein of Elder Scrolls and The Witcher 3 and such. The Shadow games are fun, but they're very much meant to be played a certain way as opposed to the more open ended style of games.
The best part about being dumb in Fallout, was that in the second game, there was ONE other guy with a low INT score....and you could have a straight, if not eloquent, conversation with him only if you were on the same "wavelength".
In New Vegas, there were many hilarious conversation options with low Int, from "Me deal with bunny hunter" instead of bounty hunter, to "Me shoulder!" or "Me make pizza." or shouting "Ice cream!" at a robot asking for a password... which works. Along with which, you can also have a remarkably coherent chat with an otherwise incomprehensible drunk and can get Arcade Gannon as a companion early as he deems you to need saving from yourself.
That was in a school in Fallout 3. :)

Some advice: when you play Hollow Knight and engage in a fight with the Nightmare Troupe leader Grimm, DON'T hit him while he's bowing. He'll screech and immediately start using attacks he normally only uses in his second phase.
DO hit him, because why not
Very interesting, I didn't know that!
Also, it is quite rude.
Cool advice: Bow every single character back by holding down, it gives you serotonin
@@arcadiawhimsies What does serotonin do?🥺

There's actually a way to get through that Dawnguard DLC without vampirism if you need it. It involves soul trapping yourself though, and doesn't involve pointy teeth so you do you.
And then you finally know what in oblivion M'aiq was talking about
And the minus 10 points per stat is not only reversible but also negligible.
kai magnus yeah I was playing a modded game and I didn’t realize how badly coded swing speed increases are, put on the Golden Gauntlets from Zelda and had the dual wielding perk and boom, daggers faster than the game can keep up with. Made the game waaay too easy even with a pickaxe
randomman10396 Advanced Dwarven Crossbow (more powerful than a Dragonbone Bow)+ Fire Dwarven Bolts + a few enchantments and you have easily the strongest hitting ranged weapon in the game. And buying the bolts in bulk from Sorin and Gunmar is really cheap too.
Unless of course you miss the quest giver that you yourself told to come join the Dawnguard and miss out on being taught how to make crossbows, but even then the bolts lying around the fort restock.
Playing Fallout with minimum intelligence is hilarious.

You don't need to become a vampire to get to the soul Carin, you just have lower stats until you complete a side quest there
Just a empty black soul gem.
That's what I didn't like about the list. They completely ignored the temporary stat reduction being almost nothing (plus using the plants there you can negate the lifesteal effect of the giant black soul gems so your reduced HP is safe). If you become a vampire you gain health and magic, sure, but you also gain a 50% aversion to fire damage, and if you've climbed high enough into the restoration tree an adept pyromancer with a firebolt can one shot you if you haven't invested enough points into your health. Also when you're a vampire your health, magic, and stamina have stunted regeneration when you are outside during the day (75% at stage 3 vampirism and 100% at stages 1 and 2), which basically make you have to carry around Bloodcursed Elven Arrows and Auriel's Bow even if you have only base archery later in the game to negate these effects, and also make a painful grind to farm Elven Arrows late game because everything scales with your level. Once you pass I think level 13-20 range where the arrows appear, good luck trying to find them if you don't have the gold to buy them from Hestia.
Easier. Become a vampire. You find a black soul gem in the laboratory, and there are fissures that auto-fill soul gems once in the soul cairn.
@@Percival7116 You can negate most of all of those Vampire Lord detriments by being clever, or simply enchanting your gear. Frost and Lightning damage are not so frequent in the game that they need to be worried about, but you can easily enchant, say a shield, and have plenty of fire resistance to negate imminent death. Also, the Vampire Lords get access to incredibly powerful restoration potions that require incredibly little effort to produce. In addition, the Vampire Lord perks are incredibly powerful versus those humanoids that are actually a threat to you.
Making Gold in the game is a very simple and easy chore. But it is just that: A chore. Buying enough arrows to last for a very long time is child's play once you actually know the game. And once you are a high enough level, you'll most likely be using an entirely different tier of bow & arrow to do your dirty work, which leaves literally any Elven Arrow you find free for transferrance in to a Bloodsoaked version. Auriel's Bow, sadly, is not the strongest bow in the base game it self, although it is rather cool. That's also discounting exploits for blacksmithing and alchemy crafting a bow with -XXXXXXXX damage levels to one-shot anything in the game.
And I've personally never had to once rely on health, stamina or magicka regeneration in the game as a crutch so as to be worthy of any noteworthiness in regards to caring to counter-build the negative stat effects of a Stage 3 Vampire Lord. You can play at full Stage 3 without issues, even on Legendary difficulty at level 80. /shrug
I at least never had any issue playing as a Vampire Lord in Dawnguard DLC or anywhere else, but I also play as an archer or a dw dagger Rogue.
But all of your enchantment buffs on your armor go away when u turn into the vampire lord form otherwise your just a player with extra hassles to deal with
You don't have to become a vampire lord to complete Dawnguard. You could just have Serana capture your soul for the duration you are in the Soul Cairn.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Also, if you want her to turn you into a vampire, for the duration of the soul cairn, you can drop the curse immediately after the quest by talking to the wizard that lives in Morthal if I remember correctly. That option becomes available after you try to talk to any member of the Dawnguard as a vampire.

Actually you can become a Vampire Lord with Dawngaurd faction
You know... you can just do the missions to get the pimp cane of crossbows and then enhance it with enchantments to make a crossbow that eats out the opposition more than Johnny sins.
All while being a werewolf that's just the vampire Lord without the magic and sundamage.
Thank you for your time.
the positives far outweigh the negatives
No, you don't have to become a vampire for the Dawnguard quest. You can become partially soul trapped, which let's you enter the soul cairn like normal. Then you get your soul untrapped later on.
theStonerKid69 Plus one must not forget the crossbows of one shot!
If you really want "unintentionally difficult" in fallout 1 & 2, try playing with minimal luck. Almost every attack you make will result in critical failure, while every attack against you will have critical success. Want to hire a companion and have him fight for you? He'll "crit fail" so hard he turns around and sprays you with bullets. I guess it's your own fault for wearing a giant "13" on your chest.
or low charisma has the same effect as low intelligence but you can still do all the tech stuff at the end
i played FO1 and FO2 with 1 luck but with the gifted perk. i rarely see critical fails.
0 In Charisma, Intelligence And Luck. Now That's Hard.
In Fallout 2 I think Myron "accidentally" shot you in the back in combat regardless of your luck.
It's more annoying (and also lowers stuff like lockpicking chance) than significantly harder unless you sabotage your build in other areas. Crit fails still aren't common. The real problem is you need 6 luck for Better Criticals perk which is the best. Go lower strength and luck, you can still be good with great perception, endurance, agility, int and even charisma.
I like to play Fallout using what I call the Homer Simpson build; no Intelligence, maximum Luck.
Or if you are playing Fallout 4, it's the Phillip Fry build!
(because we was frozen and thawed out after hundreds of years!)
(Just make sure to give him orange hair!)
How did that go?
Karma Gladiator there are a lot of very useful skills you just cannot learn that walls a bunch of stuff off until you get companions, and the Idiot Savant skill in Fallout 4 pretty much breaks the game.
Hell, I finished both original Fallouts with moron characters, it was no harder than normal. Also, I almost pissed myself laughing when I met WhatWasHisName in the first village in 2 (also complete moron, and only genuine conversation for characters with INT
nah in fallout 4 the best is high int high luck when idiot savant stacks with high int the results are insane like gaining 5 levels off a single quest turn in
16:19 You don’t actually have to become a vampire to enter the soul cairn, becoming partially soul trapped allows you to enter, then you can prioritize recovering the soul gem to remove the debuff, then you can take on the soul cairn missions on regular footing.

Believe it or not there was a quite literal accidental hard mode in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. You see, when the game was being localized for areas outside of Japan the localizers accidentally labeled the game's "normal" mode as "easy" and "hard" mode as "normal". So whenever a new player started a game and choose to play the game on normal, maybe because it's natural to do so or they're an experienced player, they unwittingly made the game much harder for themselves.

Yeah actually the dawnguard are better across the board. Spells, weapons, companions are all better. The only thing the vamps get is a spell or two that can be used to heal undead, because dawnguard characters can get the vampire lord whenever they want. The only up real upside is maybe the dawnguard won’t attack you while you’re in town
In fallout, Should have mentioned that if you have a low intelligence companion, the 2 of you have highly philosophical conversations
A crappy crossbow, aka best ranged weapon in the game.

"I smash you good!" "Hey! Hey, you!"
Something like that. :-)

Best ranged weapon in the game is the Thu'um.
Melting in Nuclear Throne. "Less HP? Well it's usually 8, so I guess 6 or so will be fine." You say, before staring on in horror as you see "2" as your max HP.
Your abilities are great though.

The entire portion on Skyrim is wrong.
1. The game does not become much harder as a Dawnguard. It stays the same.
2. Vampires lose magicka, stamina, and health regeneration in daylight unless they maintain fedness. They also gain a weakness to fire which does make the game harder.
3. Vampire lord is cumbersome and using it in public is a crime. You do not gain 'morph' bonuses while not morphed. Most vampire spells that are useful are utility spells.
4. You are not forced to become a vampire, you can easily do the soul cairn without it and even if you do choose to become a vampire, you still retain access to Dwarven Crossbows and Enchanted bolts.
5. As a Dawnguard that became a vampire for the soul cairn, you can easily cure it as well as get it again later at leisure.
Cute Necromancer Exactly, im glad im not the only one who thought that was wrong
Exactly. In no way is Dawnguard more difficult. Humans aren't automatically targeted for extermination at every city they walk into.
Their saying it was harder confused me as well, as I didn't find being in Dawnguard for that story line any harder than any other part of the game. Being a vampire just sounds like having extra housework that no one but you appreciates.
I can also say that that crossbow is kinda beefy. It's a pretty good jump in stealth archery depending on when ya get it.
The real skyrim hard mode is levelling anything other than weapon / armour skills because all the enemies scale to your level even though you didn’t actually get stronger (levelling illusion for example).
So we finally find out what Jane's voice really sounds like when she's not trying to pass as a mortal...
Weird, it’s kinda like hearing Golbert Gottfried’s actual voice
Being a Dawnguard wasn't hard at all if you had a melee character. Sure you don't get the +50 stat points, but it's not like it made it harder than it already was.
Was also not hard if you built a Sniper character: high stealth and archery stats.
Exactly Shine Bee
And you could keep your werewolf from the companions too,
Yeah, I picked Dawnguard since...that was the name of the DLC, didn't expect that to be the 'special' choice...but I had a spellsword with awesome range abilities-build. So a sniper, that could also heal and fight close-combat. So it wasn't hard anyway.
Not to mention the massive armoured trolls you could buy to follow you about
In the Dawnguard DLC, I never turned into a Vampire. I used the soul gem method to get into the Soul Carin, which in and of itself is inadvertently putting the game on hard mode, since entering the Soul Carin using a soul gem halves all your stats. Yet, despite that, I prevailed - all while staying a werewolf.
Honestly, doing the soul gem method isn't that bad. Plus, you can get your "soul" back easily enough. I think the video really misses the mark on this one. Playing as a vampire is garbage, plus outside of Serana (who you can convince to become human at the end, if you pick the right dialog path) none of them are remotely likeable.
Disagree with the Dawnguard one for a number of reasons.
First, playing as a Vampire Lord wasn’t really all it’s cracked up to be. I didn’t really feel like the combat was fun, nor did it make fighting easier. It was a laugh at first, then it got boring. The skill tree was confusing and an added chore on top of all the other shit that piled on me. It certainly wasn’t worth limited strength in daylight and having to remember to drink blood regularly.
Second, the “crappy crossbow” was far more accurate and far more powerful than most other bows that I had crafted at that point in the game. And if you need ammunition, just visit dwemer ruins - every dwarven sphere and Centurion has them.
Third, from a role playing point of view, the ending felt a lot more like a climax if you were a Dawnguard member. You recover Auriel’s Bow, return to the Dawnguard and then, as a team, launch a final assault on Castle Volkihar and kill Harkon. As a vampire, you just return home, fight Harkon and everyone just says “meh, never liked him. Let’s get on with doing evil vampire shit.”
Wattywatasaurus Since when do centurions have bolts on them?
Jedinate6 I think he meant the dwarves ballista
Derrick Meade Nope, still doesn’t drop bolts.
Jedinate6 they don’t? I could have sworn I’ve gotten dwarves bolts off of the ballista after you kill them
Yeah, the story is way better! You can actually craft bolts if I'm remembering it right? And given that the dawnguard smithy is full of iron...
And yeah, the vampire lord seems to suck. Both the werewolf and vampire lord are pretty clunky tbh (maybe it's the forced third person) and the only reason i tried vampire lord was because there's an achievement for the perks... which is a PAIN
In the Dawnguard dlc of Skyrim you don't have to become a vampire. You can instead choose to be partially soul trapped which will make your stats slightly shittier but you're still not a vampire. Then you can retrieve your soul back while in soul cairn.
Then again, becoming a vampire temporarely is not a big deal since you can go straight to Falion in Morthal and cure your vampirism after the quest.
jep1st Or you can go back to the companions and become a werewolf again.
That's also an option however you can only reclaim your werewolf form once from Aela. If you get rid of it again then there's no way to become a werewolf again unless you use mods.
jep1st you can become a werewolf however many times you wish. I did it about 5 times already just to test it.
Well according to the UESP website it says: "The Dawnguard add-on allows you to restore your lycanthropy with help from Aela the Huntress. You can only do this once; if you cure it again, you cannot regain yourlycanthropy from Aela. If you restore your lycanhtropy, you will keep all of the werewolf perks you had before."
So that would suggest you can only restrore it once.
jep1st she must be broken then.
"you HAVE to become a vampire because of story...."
*becomes partially soul trapped*
what now?
Christopher Hall
Same thing I was thinking.
yeah its bullshit, you dont have to become a vampire...
While yeah, you don't have to, becoming partially soul trapped does lower some stats, which does make it a bit harder (And thus, does add into the video) but...let's be fair, Skyrim really isn't difficult regardless-
but you can get all your power back in the soul cairn
Christopher Hall Skyrim really didn't belong on the video unless they felt like mentioning the extremely flammable vampires (WHICH THEY DIDN'T :'(
I 100% disagree with the dawnguard one. The upgraded crossbows are way better than some lame ass vampire perk
yup, besides smithing and alchemy can make crossbows that one shot vampires in Legendary dif, so i don't see why they say it makes the game harder. NOOBS! xD
Couldn't you become a werewolf?
And u can have beast form/vampire lord ability anway
@@maidwithascythe7156 you can get Durhneviihr as a Vampire Lord as well. And you get Auriel's bow. A bow that temporarily darkens the sun so you don't have sun damage. You get multiple powers the vanpiric drain spell and the Drain Vitality shout the first word.
I just killed a Dawnguard and took his crossbow lol
How did you forget Silent Hill: the Room? In a game where you need to pick up just about anything to help yourself. The villain offers you an item. Once you put that item in your storage it becomes permanently haunted and injures you every time you open storage again.
John Woodall Wait, that’s a choice? I watched Nitro Rad’s review, and it seems like the Room becoming haunted is a story moment you can’t get out of.
Ise no Kami the Room does get haunted by itself. But the locker does not get haunted unless you put the strange doll item into it.
For my first playthrough of Silent Hill: The Room, I never realized what the candles should be used for. Does that count for unintentional hard mode?
g40rc378 yes. I would say so.
I was wondering when you'd get back to filling the vampire: masquerade quotas... XD
Isabella Liberty - I missed them so much 😢

Technically speaking I never actually finished that game 🤔
"Crappy crossbow"
Uh, what? The crossbow in Skyrim was one of the most broken weapons I've ever used there, especially the "Enhanced" versions that pierce the enemy's defenses by half. Ammo was plentiful considering you could not only purchase and craft crossbow bolts yourself, but you could eventually get elemental versions of them for added damage.
My goodness, I love Marksmanship/Archery in the Elder Scrolls... Typing up that response gave me such an urge to replay Skyrim.
I believe I'll do that now.
how went the skyrim bingeplay :P
Fantastic! Kept jumping back and forth between my stealthy male Bosmer archer, sword-and-shield male Imperial knight, and lightning-abusing female Altmer mage.
There’s just one problem.
Once again, I don’t want to play anything else because I want to keep exploring and re-discovering locations and events that made me fall hopelessly in love with this game, glitches and all.
Aye. i even downloaded a modded semi-automatic heavy crossbow ;P and made my explosive arrows as a witcher XD
Yeah no joke. The dwarven crossbow was stupidly good
I actually feel like screwing up by becoming the vampire lord, but it was the whole point of my character, so I guess it's ok

That's not exactly an unofficial hard mode.
More like a required part of the game, and literally called hard mode.
I mean that’s just like the other ~80% of the game.
Here's another hard game mode: Having a conversation with someone whose name you have completely forgotten but you don't want to ask because that'd seem rude.

Life is but a game Jack. We all know this.
This was my entire school life. One time, this girl started hanging out with me and already knew my name, but I had never heard her name. We were friends for months and I to this day have no clue what her name is.
The one time I played the first Dark Souls game, I was talking to my friend. I went through the first dungeon thing, and lit my first bonfire (or was it the second?). There was this dude, The Crestfallen Warrior, and he was being all insulting to me, like Nazeem in Skyrim. So I asked my friend if the Warrior is a plot essential NPC (wanted to be sure I could actually kill him) and my friend said no. Well, right after I attempt to swing my sword at him, my friend is all like, "But don't attack him, Joe!" Que the next hour of me learning how to parry in order to kill this guy who remembers you trying to murder him after he has killed you, because you're like undead or something, with him saying things like "That was embarrassing! How could you let me do this to you?" I literally put down the controller and went outside for a smoke break, during which he probably killed me like 20 times.
On the plus side, my friend told me that I had the quintessential Dark Souls experience, so there is that. I did feel pretty great watching his dead body fall to the ground, so, trade offs.
I had an uncomfortably similar experience.
On the upside, I can beat him no problem years later!

Given how insanely overpowered crafting can be in Skyrim an upgraded crossbow can one-shot nearly anything. Also you can take a temporary debuff to go into the Soul Cairn.
I mean, if your crafting is that strong why would you bother with a crossbow? You could make anything capable of oneshotting everything.
The staggers. Crossbows have an innate stagger chance that stacks with the Power Shot perk. This means 3/4 of your shots cause enemies to flinch in place. Crossbows also have a good long distance trajectory for precision sniping. Combine the two and Crossbows start to seem superior to regular Bows.
And I took that debuff every time. Werewolf for life!
Steven Clark being completely serious how do you get your smithing up quickly in Skyrim early or late game?
Shadow God best way I found was I found the Transmute spell which lets you turn iron ore into silver and silver to gold, then I just kept building jewelry, it gives pretty good smithing xp, doesn't require a huge amount of materials, and as a bonus I would enchant all of it to rapidly build up my enchanting skill. Transmute is a upper mid tier alteration spell so boosting that tree makes it work easier too.
My first time playing skyrim, i turned into a vampire on accident, i had no idea it was happening until well after there was no going back. Made the game SO much harder to progress or do some quests because almost everyone was so scared of my guy. Eventually i was able to find a way to cast some fear spells but it still wasn't 100% effective.
Same for me. I decided to restart my game.
Bro... me too...
there's a guy in Morthal who can cure you from being a vampire. His name is Falion
@@alandriel4267 I feel like I read once you became full vampire you couldn't go back to normal but I will definitely have to check that out, thanks!
But think about how hilarious that was from the character's POV. Just "Why am I thirsty all the time. Why does the sun hurt? Why does everyone run from me screaming? Who can help me solve this riddle?"
In Silent Hill 4, a game where you are TAUGHT TO PICK UP THINGS, a guy asks if you want this little doll and then just leaves. If you pick it up you automatically just lose half your health permanently for the rest of the game. And you're only like 20% of the way through the game at that point.
That's what you get for accepting creepy little dolls from sketchy old men. I sure as heck wasn't going to take anything from him.
dude. FREE creepy doll. What was I supposed to do? NOT take it?
Baga got a point here, we're in Silent Hills dammit, how many times players had to go back and check the whole hospital because we forgot to take a thing that's used in a puzzle? I sure wouldn't forget something nearly presented as a scenaristic element

Did a run with human Dawnguard, and you can enter the Soul Cairn by giving a part of your Soul up in a Soul gem for awhile and you're all good to go.
No need to become an enemy of both groups.
Is just me or is that whole dawn guard segment a bit false when they said you have to become a vampire. I distinctly remember doing the quest they briefly showed, staying human by using a special soul gem or something when going into the portal.
It's that one specific mission that becomes a bit of a pain if you've sided with with Dawnguard: Where Serana takes you to the Soul Cairn.
You just lose like 9 levels in everything temporily- you lose 45 pts of all three states till you find your Essence Gem and "untrap" yourself. Then you're fine. I was even a were wolf killing undead down there for a while.
David North It’s so insignificant that I never noticed that during all three of my dawnguard play throughs. Plus the soul cairn enemies, save for the keepers and the secret reaper boss (whom my father managed to find accidentally), are all in all pretty easy.
Warhammer Online had a chicken mode too.
If you tried to gank a low level player as a much more powerful character, the game turned you into a chicken for doing so.
However, you could still attack- you just did very little damage to other players, and could get killed in one shot...
Unless those players were also turned into chickens. That made it a fair fight once more!...
Between two chickens.
Whole guilds used to arrange mass chicken fights in low level PVP lakes, Order players were little white hens, Destruction players were horrible undead turkeys.
There were even rewards for killing loads of chicken players, as a chicken. Including dead chickens you could hang on your armor, and a chicken Cape similar to the one in the video.

I love that Fallout actually went through the time and effort to make an entirely different dialogue thread for a 0 (or at the least a very low) intelligence character... 😅
Silver Scale Productions contrary to the video, you can't have 0 Int in Fallout. The lowest SPECIAL score is 1 (2 if you chose the Gifted trait), the highest is 10 (regardless of traits).
Back in 2001, Troika Games released *Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura* which had the same feature, where a character with less than 3 intelligence got a different line of dialogue.
So I created a Barbarian styled pretty girl, named Miss Arcanum, complete with a tiara and a pretty dress.
She ended up being a pretty viable Melee fighter, wielding a huge two handed sword.
*And* she was pretty AF, but dumb as a doornail !
It was pretty entertaining. :)
I later made a spellcaster that ended up being the most evil Necromancer in history.
And after reviving the king, and using him as a grotesque pet, he went on a killing spree, murdering ALL towns on the map. At that point, even the chickens attacked him on sight - It doesn't get much more evil than that!

Zakk Vanish When trying to get his tail, it's definitely Kalameet for me :).
Um, actually according to the guy in the video its ornstien and SMOW, so yeah.
DerpsCantFly I can understand the confusion, so let me clarify. Here, to give yourself some context, read through a bunch of the comments here in the comment section. You'll see tons of dark souls players pointing out just how many mistakes this guy made and how little he actually knows about the game. Clearly, he's someone with almost 0 dark souls knowledge and didn't do any research on the franchise before making this video. Does that at all sound like the kind of person you want to get all your information from? So yes, it absolutely is pronounced "Smo", which is phonological to "sumo".
Zakk Vanish Oh yeah it's definately up there for hardest DS1 bosses, especially if you go into it blind not knowing that when one dies the other gets a buff and full heal. And it's even worse if you miss Solaire's summon sign and try to fight them alone.
Although I'd still argue that they're not the hardest boss in the game. I'd have to give that award to the Bed of Bullshit
Dawnguard is easier when you're a werewolf and that doesnt require ammunition and you don't have to be a vampire
Why not use spellbreaker and dawn breaker
late 852 Dawnguard rune axe: am I a joke to you?
the main disadvantage of being a werewolf is that you can't use ranged weapons in wolf form.
it's a real pain when fighting enemies who CAN use them.
you also don't get the "rested" bonus when training your skills!
ps: on the positive side, there are some friendly werewolves in Solstheim (the Dragonborn DLC area), who will sell you some interesting magical rings.
the best one (imo) is the one that increases your health regen.
When creating your Commander Shepard you have to make a choice: do you make them a Soldier for the additional health and weapon damage, an Adept to get all the cool biotic powers, maybe mix and match the two as an Adept or a Vanguard...or spend the next 20+ hours asking yourself why you thought being an Engineer was a good idea as you have the lowest HP of all classes, basic armour, can only use pistols and the decryption and electronics skills doesn't even exist for the two thirds of the trilogy that follow the first game so there's absolutely no bonus for having them anyway.
Engineer Shepard is easy mode for ME3.

I just don't want the crap powers or jewelry I'm never gonna use. Or the weakness to fire and all. Pretty annoying tbh lol
Actually when you finish the Vampire journey they give you a spell to make the sun black ,looks pretty cool tbh
No, its the bow when its used with the blood arrows.
Yeah, if you want to play a whole vampire or werewolf based character, you have no other choice than using mods. Those are pretty good, though.
Better / different models for both, better and bigger skill trees, buffed up stats that make your transformation feel like an actual powerful cooldown, new moon / full moon phases that buff up either vampires or werewolves, a disease spreading system so you can not just feed on your victims but actually transform them to vampires/werewolves as well and last but not least - buffed up dawnguard hunters that immersively track you down and actually pose a threat to you even at lvl 250 or whatever.

As I understand it, the reason Chris doesn't start with a gun is because he dropped it in the woods during that opening chased-by-evil-dogs sequence.
He also has a higher chance of landing critical headshots than Jill does, but since that isn't advertised, most players are going to either not notice it or put it down to luck, before moving on to the later enemies that those don't apply to.
Also, he gets to use the flamethrower against the giant spider. It's not _that_ much of an upgrade, but it does make the fight easier.
It doesn't help that the flamethrower is _really_ bad in every fight in which it's not specifically advantageous.
Yup. The other "advantage" he has is that he gets free poison cure from the snake if he gets bitten, thanks to Rebecca. At least it's something if you haven't found any blue herbs yet.
The crossbows you can get from Dawnguard pack quite the punch however, and you can get them very early on, essentially getting a late game weapon in exchange for only a few quests. And you can use it without the entire city attacking you.

Exactly! The crossbow kills most vampires in one hit while sneaking. My advice is to not start Dawnguard until you acquire Dawnbreaker, and have met Parthurnax. This is partly because doing so can potentially lead to you being unable to complete quest objectives for the main quest, thus preventing you from finishing it.

@@alexdoorn234 Bro, being a werewolf is better. Because, you get a 100% immunity to all kinds of diseases. On top of that, they have a skill tree lvl. up system(no clue about the Vampire high lord).
I disagree about the Dawnguard DLC for me it was an easy choice, either be Van Helsing or be baby barf green with twigs for "wings", after a good long laugh I said NO.
The choice is even easier if you're trying to play as a sneaky character. Vampire Lord mode is really just good for running up and murdering folks and while using it you can't sneak or talk to anyone, so a thief would rarely need it. All that leaves you with is a weakness to fire, a need to feed, and a castle full of boring vampire friends I never bothered getting to know.
On the whole, going dawnguard isn't all that bad, though rejecting Harkon's first off does make that Soul Cairn adventure A LOT more of a hassle then it could have been: having to do it as either a starving fledgling, then having to faff around getting a cure afterwards because Isran has trust issues, or get soul trapped and then have to "fix" your soul inside the Soul Cairn.
Except Vampires get a bonus to Sneak and Illusion magic. Fully perked out there are very few enemies who can resist a Vampire's charm magics. If they do, just slam an Elixir of Illusion and problem solved. The weakness in sunlight can be a bother though.
And why would anyone be a vampire when you can be a werewolf?
Because Bethesda melee is always clunky, which is the only thing weremutts really have.
The Skyrim entry is false. You can still refuse the gift. Theres an alternate route
and even vamp lord form doesn´t make you THAT much stronger .like a normal mage build will rock this. i mean becoming a vampire CAN get you OP (necromage) but any dull vampire will do for that matter. Actually the vampire lord form won´t even be good because necromage gets your enchantments and buffs through the roof (including your weapon enchantments if i´m not mistaken.) making a sword and board fighter the toughewst Mofo in the world. but true if you join the dawnguard you probably won´t get to get that, but still you can get as broken op as you want in Skyrim. Skyrim is like "how overpowered can my character get? " "as powerful as you want if you take the right drugs to get crazy enough".DAwnguard get´s pretty easy as a destruction mage, any sort of fighter or the man the meme the sneak archer .
Metalhammer1993 i thought the necromage thing was patched tho ?
Yahia Kamaly is it? Haven't tried for a while. Thanks for the info
There is an alternative! I take the pieces of the Razor back to my museum, pay you a generous amount of gold, and no one has to die!
I was a werewolf at the time, so i refused
Lies joining the dawngaurd gets you
1. Dwarven crossbows
2. Exploding fire, frost, and shock bolts (dwarven and steel)
3. Enhanced crossbows (dwarven and steel)
4. All of the above you can craft
5. The dawngaurd rune hammer (enchantment: bash attacks on the ground make sun runes doing 50 points of sun damage. Most think it is broken but you must bash not attack)
6. The dawngaurd rune axe (enchantment: does 20+x sun damage, x being the number of undead killed up to a bonus sun damage of 100. Does NOT reset after the day passes)
7. The dawngaurd rune shield (+10 bash damage to vampires. Probably the weakest of the artifacts.)
8. All of the above can be improved. (Except bolts)
9. 4 new companions (for those who have mods allowing multiple followers.)
10. Sun magic (not much but a few good spells, even for non mages)
Ore_44 I forgot about the hammer, I loved that thing.
Ore_44 A cool fact is you can actually still get the sun spells you just have to use calm spells.
I love playing as a Dawnguard Vampire Hunter, it was so much fun! Crossbows FTW!
You can't forget the Huskies and Armored Trolls!
Here's a good one: starting the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4 causes very dangerous, high level robots and robot gangs spawn all over the map. It doesn't help that ADA can finish that fight herself while you just walk past, meaning smart players avoid that entire cell until they're ready to rush that DLC.
I wonder if playing as a chicken has a coop mode.
Well, I did once escort a chicken from The Shire to the 21st Hall in Moria, via Rohan.
boo, that was clucking terrible
It was a little fowl, I admit.
This pun is under appreciated
You don’t understand, the dawnguard is way better. You’re allowed to be a werewolf and that’s a million times better than a vampire. You don’t take sun de-buff nonsense. And yeah, at the start you get a “crappy crossbow” but you can unlocked the enhanced dwarven crossbow or whatever and that’s the best ranged weapon in the game, bolts are inexpensive, and you don’t have to recharge magica. And at the end, you can choose not to be a vampire if you choose the dawnguard storyline, it’s just harder
Lucas but crappy crossbow damage is almost draedric bow damage
Just Noob and you get the cool exploding bolts
Depends on your build, i went vampire when doing a stealth illusion build and it just made it way better.
Manwell kinda funny because stealth archer can deal more damage than all mage build
The point of a stealth illusion build is to make people fight each-other and pick off the rest with a knife, it is hilarious and i definitely recommend it.
I can assure you that playing as a Chicken in LOTRO is no accident.
The joy of reaching Minas Tirith and flapping off the end of the prow is immense, not least because you've probably spent the last few hours chatting with a bunch of friends while they keep the marauding wildlife from murderating you.
Earlier this year we took a team of Chickens to Mount Doom and jumped into a lava flow. Losing the Tolkien Professor to a Mûmak hidden behind a small tree was but a minor blip in the proceedings ;-)
Having said that, the Chicken Play system does include one of the genuinely hardest questlines in the whole game, whereby you get an eight-hour time limit to visit various places around Middle-earth and if you fail you have to start from scratch-nearly as annoying as getting stomped by a stealth Mûmak ;-)
"chatting with a bunch of friends while they keep the marauding wildlife from murderating you."
So you got boosted?
My problem with that entry was basically that same thing. "This is an accident?" Like, sure, a Masquerade player might not realize the Nosferatu is THAT bad, and a Fallout player might not be expecting their 0 INT minmaxing to come back on them... but who actually sees a thing saying "you can play as a chicken" and DOESN'T expect that it's going to make the game significantly harder?
Not sure what you mean by "boosted" but the deal is that a Chicken has single-figure HP so needs to be escorted almost anywhere outside the early zones of the game; also the in-game chat doesn't work between Chickens and other PCs. So we usually have Discord running so that we can communicate about upcoming hazards, and the whole thing can take hours…
A gamer that doesn't know what boosted means, hmm, suspicious.
"Gamer" "casual but enthusiastic player of LOTRO"
We have lots of idiosyncratic terms which probably don't mean the same in other games, and since I don't play other games…
when you give kuro back his charm in sekiro at the beggining of the game but you didn't know it would make the game even harder than it already is :/
What does that do? I'm never going to have the patience to play it myself.
@@torgranael it gives enemies more damage & health and you less health & damage
Tell that chicken part to the Cuckoo clan. They change Hyrule's fate more than enough, usually by destroying a certain mass pot murderer in a sea of feathers
Saw the LOTR chicken, thought of the Zelda franchise, too. Not even mad
Did you actually play Dawngaurd?
Being a dawn guard is much easy than being a vampire though it won't make you weak if your exposed to the sunlight
Yeah, and the ”crappy crossbow” packs quite the punch. You know what you can do with a crossbow that you can’t to with vampire claws? Shot someone really far away with great accuracy.
Dawnguard lets you have Husky pet dogs or even a friggin' battle troll companion. And the Dawnguard Rune Hammer is pretty great
I one-shot a dragon with that crossbow fully upgraded and an archer character.
Crossbow op ignores a percent of the armor .
Sorry, but in the Skyrim: Dawnguard, you don't *have* to become a Vampire. There is a proper choice given for those who don't want to become vampires at all.
Not to mention the game isn't really made harder by siding with the Dawnguard. Any experienced Skyrim player has no problem leveling up and acquiring powerful weapons/ammo. My max dragonbone bow with maxed out chaos and fire enchantments is all i need. Duel Dawnguard war axes more than do the job in close range.
I used a mod,and became a Vampire/Werewolf Hybrid 😂
To be honest I think that becoming a vampire makes the game needlessly harder anyway
I know, you can also go to Falion in Morthal like they said in the video, I never said you couldn't cure yourself of vampirism
you may not have to become a vampire, but you do have to knowingly spare an ancient vampire with an elder scroll for no reason and take her to her obviously also vampire father even though you're here to kill vampires.
Lol I always picked Chris Redfield, I just thought that's how hard the game was.
This is from a guide about Resident Evil 1. It's accurate. There is more to the choice than inventory items.
Chris Redfield
-He has 6 item slots
-If he gets posioned by Yawn (Giant Snake) Must play as Rebecca to get the serum
-He has Rebecca get the V-jolt, then fights Plant 42 manually
-He gets a flamethrower to deal with Black Tiger (Giant Spider)
-He has a lighter on hand (used to burn incapitated zombies so they don't turn into Crimson heads)
-He is much better with weapons
-He has to use Old Keys to unlock things
-He has more health
-Has Rebecca as a partner (Can heal you)
-He starts out with only a knife but quickly obtains a handgun
-He has flash grenades which if you shoot them, destorys a zombies brain, killing them for good (defensive item)
When you first play as Chris, he loses his handgun and only has a knife to use, Jill and Wesker go into the mansion with him and Barry is nowhere to be seen. They hear a noise and Chris goes alone to investigate. When he returns, Jill and Wesker are gone and he quickly finds Jill's handgun and uses it. He later finds Rebecca who becomes his partner.
Jill Valentine
-She has 8 item slots
-She can avoid fighting Plant 42
-She gets a grenade launcher later on
-She has a lockpick (doesn't require Old Keys to open things)
-She is slower and and weaker with weapons
-She has less health
-She has Barry as a partner (saves her a few times)
-She starts out with a handgun
-She has Stun Guns which make the zombies fall down (Defensive item)
When you first play as Jill, you start off with a Handgun and a knife, She enters the mansion with Barry and Wesker with Chris nowhere to be seen. They hear a noise and go and investigate with Barry, when Jill and Barry return, Wesker has disappeared and Jill and Barry split up. Barry becomes Jill's partner.
Lance Lange I don’t think Jill is slower or weaker with weapons at all. Guides aren’t always accurate.
Not just from guides. This information was in the manual for the game. I had the PS1 and Sega Saturn versions. Well Chris having more health, being stronger at hand to hand fighting was in the official manual. The rest I corroborate with personal experience. Out of the dozens of times i've played the original game and the remake. I've only used Chris once. Those inventory slots are just too valuable.
I’m happy you pointed out he dropped his gun running from the cerberus during the opening. The whole knife rant gave me douche chills, hopefully they do better research in the future. But I read the SD Perry book “The Umbrella Conspiracy” too which adds a lot more substance to the resident evil noire.
I'll have to check that book out.
They have it on Amazon. There are 7 books, based on 0-3 and Code Veronica, also 2 base other around them.
In the Fallout franchise being a foolish fool with low intelligence can actually help rather than hinder. In Fallout New Vegas to get Arcade Gannon as a companion (one of the best in my opinion) you can do a bunch of quests for the Followers of the Apocalypse or you can simply have an intelligence of three or lower and say "This place is really complicated and stuff. You're smart, can you help me do... stuff?" and Arcade with join you out of sympathy.
At vault city in fallout 2 there is a prototype auto-doc that will kill you 95% of the time if you do not fix it but, if you have minimum intelligence it will never kill you.
WHAT?! Really, not being a vampire is harder? Did you forget about werewolf form? It's far stronger then vampire lord when both are maxed out mainly because you don't have to keep firing arrows into the sun or drinking blood to hide the fact your an abomination. Guards may make guesses from the hair and your wet dog smell but they still wont attack. Also going with the the Dawnguard you can get the strongest bow in the game. The enhanced dwarven cross bow, which you can enchant and load with enchanted bolts. I love dragon bone weapons but three enchantment are just overpowered and you have max range with every shot.
Also, another downside to Vampires is that they cant one shot most enemies. A maxed out werewolf sprint attack can one hit kill dragons, giants, mammoths, and so on. It how ever, WILL NOT kill the ebony warrior.
Oh yeah I actually never fought the ebony warrior with werewolf. The sprint attack is so OP dragons tremble in fear.
Don't try werewolf against the warrior. I was wrecked in moments... Once he picked himself up. Even tried slapping him off the mountain. I tried the frost giant ghost and the undead dragon at the same time because they both have their own summons.Took me so many tries lol.
I don't know I literally wiped the floor with every enemy I faced werewolfs,dawnguard,deathlords, you name it. Even when I was in daylight I stayed blood dragon a frost dragon and a bear simultaneously.
Edwin Samuel at what level and difficulty? If you can keep out of enemies range and not get fucked over as a vampire lord in daylight on normal difficulty and up, more power too you. We who like pack life will stick with our mostly one hit kill sprint and not having to drink blood every five day so towns folk won’t try and kill up. Vampire lord is fun. Hell I love calling forth four gargoyles when conjuration is maxed. ((You’ll need a vampire necklace and conjuration at max)) But I got shit to sell and I can’t do that if I have to keep drinking blood or shooting arrows into the sky to survive.
I have to disagree emphatically with the segment on Dawnguard. Becoming a vampire imo is not worth all the penalties that come with it. And the crossbow is actually amazing. Once you upgrade it and start getting all the special magic bolts it is arguably overpowered. My favorite bow by a mile. Not the mention the Dawnguard is an incredible faction with all kinds of great followers, shop tenders, armored troll followers, etc.
it literally said "or Become Soul Trapped". You don't have to become a vampire
Which is the part where it actually becomes harder not to be a vampire, and they skiped it.
It was easy for me to side with the Dawnguard. After all, being a vampire meant you can't regenerate health or stamina in the sun, forcing you to rely on a ton of potions to get by. And that's not mentioning that you can make tons of crossbow bolts thanks to the smithing skill, as well as the upgraded dwarven crossbow.
Seriously, that crossbow was underrated. Totally badass
And u can just go and get ur soul back
If you enchant your armor with regeneration buffs for all 3 resources then you effectively negate the sunlight debuff. OR you can enchant it with only magicka regen and then put points into restoration so that you can use your magicka to heal both your HP and stamina, since being a vampire makes your character undead the "necromage" perk boosts all healing spells cast on yourself.
OR OR you can finish the vampire questline which gives you a bow you can use to block out the sun, thus removing the debuff.
Let's be honest, how often is a Skyrim character in the sun?
Mini Link I'm in the sun most of the time.
It makes sense that Jill has a bigger inventory, we all know that women carry more items than men at any given time.
木星からの脱出 true. More places to hide things.
Lol it’s true but irrelevant.
Trixmay 988 your comment was irrelevant.
facts are always relevant.
Some of their handbags are rumored to be able to hold a small house or two!
This only applies to handbags. Jill has no handbag. Without handbags, women can usually carry less due to nonexistent or purely aesthetic pockets.
“Poultry reward” 😂 best pun I’ve heard this week.
Atreus It was clucking funny.
Hey, first and only time I played Bloodlines I went as a Nos. Won the game that way! The stealth tricks helped me bypass whole gauntlets and take down some of the toughest bosses. Well, tricks and manipulating the game mechanics. I took down Ming-Xiao with melee weapons by spamming the save files. Took down the Sheriff by crouching under a stairwell!
You haven't 'played' Bloodlines at all until a second playthrough with a Malkavian.
Try actually playing the books.. They've been around since the 80s. Gangrel can be hard in older versions as every time you frenzy you get a new animal features. After 20 you barely look human.
The sad thing is that in actual pen and paper Vampire, Nosferatu characters can be one of the easier Clans to play for beginners.
Since, unlike in Bloodlines, one of the Obfuscate powers 'Mask of a Thousand Faces' lets you disguise your appearance (at least to living things, you'll still look the same on cameras) and walk around in public. It also lets you disguise yourself convincingly as someone else (someone specific or just generally someone not you) without needing to use extensive make-up and acting abilities. (And of course, pen and paper, unlike Bloodlines, lets your character wear clothes that largely disguise their inhuman features and doesn't force all Nosferatu to walk around in bondage gear.)
And of course Nosferatu, ironically, don't have any negative social hangups or stereotypes attached to them, unlike... Well... All of the other Clans. (The Tremere are universally distrusted and even hated, the Malkavians are seen as either crazy and dangerous or crazy and pointless, the Toreador are considered frivolous and decadent, the Ventrue are seen as aloof despots and anal control freaks, the Brujah are considered hotheaded malcontents and the Gangrel are often seen as little better than animals... While the Nosferatu are at worst pitied and given some leeway for their appearance, but more frequently considered dependable, knowledgeable and decent.)
Nossies are also the only ones who actually get along with their clans too I think???
In a game all about power where childe cannot trust sire that's a ridiculous buff.
And from what I read, them and the Gangrel get along pretty well.
A 'poultry' reward. My perception of Jane just went up 1 thousand-fold.
Are we going to talk about how good that Picasso joke was
Agree
Yeah holy shit every couple of videos OX pulls out a top tier joke and it’s always worth it
of course we are going to talk about that joke, it was a masterpiece
“And with a face like that, the artist you’d be named after is Picasso”😂😂😂
I don't remember that I had to become a vampire in the Dawnguard storyline. Was that when entering the soul cairn? There is another option. And you don't have to use crossbows. Even as an archer I didn't. Yoren was right about them.
It's all about that zephry bow.
Idk with 100 archery and sneak attacks I was like one shotting most enemies in the game with the crossbow
Yeah, once you got the enhanced dwarven one, and those explosive bolts, ez
I also don’t remember Dawnguard being difficult and I’ve played both sides
Sarah Andrea Royce Yeah there is another option of not becoming a vampire when entering the soul cairn but your stats get lowered in there.
I was never forced to become a vampire in dawnguard
That's because you're never "forced" you're given the choice again before entering the soul cairn. If you don't, it's a little more challenging....that's pretty much it.
Well you either become a vampire or shatter your soul so that you're nerfed as hell....Pretty sure being a vampire can be cured.
I chose to became soul trapped, but it didn't get nerfed. Probably a bug and not a feature, since it clearly sad that I would be weaker. but I had a good laugh. And as a vampire lord, I found it really hard to play. lol
Rasmus Jensen im running as an imperial thief with no stats into health or magic only stam so ima be screwed
Rasmus Jensen true. Though finding it on such low health will be fun.
Becoming a vampire in Skyrim is awesome, but what about becoming a vampire in Morrowind for accidental hard mode? no health regeneration,taking damage during the day,cant use a siltstrider and most NPC's attack you on sight. Oh, and every time you sleep you wake up screaming from nightmares.
charlotte Bowyer being a vampire in morrowind is not for the faint of heart
The "Janeeee.
What?
Boo." Made me laugh so hard
You can easily make your game way harder on accident in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. "Oh, you sold that object earlier in the game because you thought it wasn't important? Well, turns out you needed that for a sidequest, so either reload a save and lose all your progress to get it back, or live knowing you will never complete that sidequest".
Add onto that the multiple chances you have of forgetting to save, only to find out the hard way when you die and the game sends you back to your last save, which was 30 minutes ago.
And the many times you will make it harder on yourself by not stocking up on ammo, weapons, or medical supplies before a particularly difficult or long mission.
And don't get me started on how much of a slog the early-game is in all the games (maybe not Call of Pripyat, because you start out with a submachine gun right away).
Panzer Man not only that, but selecting lower difficulty settings make things much worsefor you. Wanna get to play only for story? Good luck. All people take more bullets to kill
in COP you start out with an AK, but even then you have what i can consider as the best armor with the right upgrades, but even then you have decent amount of supplies and the area your in has humans that have varied weapon, well want to get some decent weapons for free and probably a bear detector, go to the saw mill those zombies take no effort, if not you will over stock on food, ammo, echo detectors, and so on but make sure to maintain your equipment
I love this series of games
cheeki breekiiv damke
A lot of games have that terrible no-quest items, no-buyback system. Castlevania: Portrait of ruin salted me out with the same thing.
