Fr! Had to search through years of glitch filled videos that were also convoluted and just not enjoyable to watch or try recreating.

Aye, I fought The Ebony Warrior on legendary too. Even in full extremely tempered daedric armor and late game equipments, I kept dropping dead to his armor reflection when I engaged him in melee. It was purely a matter of luck at that point.
Yes, his damage reflection turns the classic arms race into a game of Russian roulette. You're better off doing less damage so that you survive when it's reflected and then heal up. Could be worth checking out if damage modifiers like dragonhide or berserk rage reduce the reflected damage to make the fight a bit less annoying.
Holy sh*t... one handed with no shield! You truly are adventurer. You'll be like "what is shield? You guys need a shield? I ain't need a shield it's just burden to my inventory"
Basically, who cares, play the game in a way that’s fun for you. I guess it technically isn’t crafting, but I would find re-rolling the forge until you get the item you want a bit tedious.
Which part are you having trouble with? Use a hotkey to unequip your weapon as soon as the power attack lands so you aren't stuck until the end of the animation.
Great build but hard to see it lasting long into a playthrough considering how enemies scale right? Like given that this build peaks at lvl 17, playing the game and naturally leveling other nonessential skills (speech, pickpocket, lockpicking, light armor etc just by playing) or picking up skillbooks and whatnot while doing the main quest, dlc, etc would 'overlevel' you in a sense that your damage would be much more stunted (and you'd take more) in comparison to the world's levelled enemies--making completing most of the game's later quests a lot more difficult. I'm sure you spawned the ebony warrior in via the console, but how feasible would it be to naturally play through the game, levelling other skills (but not necessarily using them) and first get through all of the game as normally expected before fighting him?
You're right, the build wouldn't scale well into the late game or rather, it wouldn't scale at all beyond level 17 like you said, but that's really not the point of a build like this. The point is to showcase what's possible when you start using better fighting techniques. If you really wanted to, you could beat the main quest and the DLCs without leveling up any further as I think this build is still better than the one used for the level 1 challenge. Enemy scaling might not necessarily hurt as much as you might think, all that changes are the numbers, the AI remains the same and thus all the patterns are the same. On the other hand, every fight would be that much more tedious and it would take an eternity to get to level 80 in the first place. You could soften every enemy with marked for death, but that's next level cheese. All in all, it doesn't make much sense to take this build any further without throwing the no-crafting gimmick out of the window.
@@poormansproductions2402 Well said. Again, great video; you're the first person I've seen to really embrace vanilla skyrim and offer sound melee advice for legendary difficulty. It's not easy to add depth to skyrim's naturally shallow combat but you've managed to do so!
@@cheese3764 I recorded the dodging video playing a male bosmer. I missed the fact that they are slightly shorter. Have you noticed a significant difference?
Because I usually go for the worst possible iteration of the build so every change you make is an upgrade and makes the build better. I did use the off-hand for the TG part as stated. If you want to see what a dual-wielding build can do, check out the fisherman build pre or how 2 warrior post MfD nerf.
I can't really argue that but I barely kept my sanity when grinding through the goldenglow estate the "legit" way and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
This man right here, is the peak performance of skyrim, just plain skill and no crafting loops to cheese the game. I'm glade i found you!

One handed might be generally more practical than two handed, but two handed has the better feel of impact.
Btw I’m so glad I found your channel. I hope more people will come see your content :)
Just discovering this channel.
BRAVO!
Truly phenomenal video in concept and style.
Uniquely your own and informative.

legendary gameplay right here , and your references are pretty legendary too men golden axe , kill bill ... i wish you success
I appreciate the words of encouragement. Cheers.

No shield, no problem.
Nice video mate

It's amazingly funny that getting an ebony weapon that soon isn't seen as op in Legendary...

im wearing heavy amor with max armor rating, a bandit archer still hit me like a truck
Holaa. Un poco tarde pero quisiera saber como haces el ataque cargado 2 veces seguidas?
You ever thought about doing a no crafting archer with no stealth? I like to see your take on it❤
Time to study the blade!
When you were lollygagging...
No crafting does the atroncah forge count? It doesn't give any XP for crafting and you can get deadric axe with high level enchant

@@poormansproductions2402 damn I just love the idea of cheesing a challenge to make it easy
At last some true guide with combat strategy and no boring glitch fapping
Still wanted to say that force without effort would really help power atacks use
@@cheese3764 That’s good thinking. I absolutely hate doing the main quest so I never even considered this even thought I definitely should have.
I see you plan to make a video on archery, will you also be making a video on magic?
The mage is next in line.
@@poormansproductions2402 I only ask for a mage build
@@ganeshbhat3681 Ask, and it shall be given you.
I was hoping to see you implement sneak sideways power attacks for that build, but it seems like they are useless((
Bro podrías explicarme cómo haces para golpear así con la espada. Realmente no entendí al inicio del video

While learning to dodge you were playing female khajit/breton?

why did you keep switching between the silver and ebony swords?
nice videos btw, very informative
silver is 4 undead
Wait are some of these songs deadass from a porno? Cause I looked at the song list bc I wanted to use one for something
Nah, as far as I know they only pretended its unreleased porn music for the publicity. Obviously inspired by it though.

Like the build but dislike for eye hurting video.
Fair. Sadly, I'm not in a position where I can do something about it.
