    The best Alchemist was the Nerevarine. After being freed from the iron grip of the imperial, s/he was able to take basic ingredients and created a intelligence loop, s/he continued the loop until it imploded, and CHIM was achieved. Once the Neravarine achieved such a state, his/her potions were more powerful than one could possibly imagine.
    Nerevarine was reported to have flown across Morrowind with ease, instantly heal from any wound, and unleash power that rivaled to Daedra princes themselves.
    It is rumored that the Mehrunes Dagon delayed his plans to take of Mundus until the Neravarine got bored and had left to another plane. For he feared that the Nerevarine would have gotten annoyed, and would have gone "Molag Bal on his ass"

    While it is a gameplay exploit I wonder if in the actual world of Elder Scrolls could you create a "Fortify Enchantment" potion to create Fortify Alchemy enchanted piece of armor and then create a even stronger Fortify Enchantment potion, and so on and so forth and potentially become the world's greatest alchemist and Enchanter. Capable of creating potions and enchantments that turn people superpowered and last for ages.

      I would imagine, in-universe, you would start to see diminishing returns with such an "exploit loop", as making more and more powerful potions and making more and more powerful enchantments requires greater skill, until you get to the point where you can't make meaningful progress either way.

    I've not stated this before, but I must say that your videos are highly appreciated. They are impeccably created in all respects. The music is always appropriate to the theme and is never overpowering or intrusive; certainly it never drowns out your voice -- a fault all too often found on many videos. Also, your voice is perfect. It is melodic, moderate and your pronunciation and articulation are wonderful, permitting the listener to hear and understand every word you say. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for most videos, which suffer from narration which is twisted, torn and destroyed by crass regional accents unable to be understood by anyone except perhaps the narrator's immediate family. And finally, the information you provide is always (at least to me) fresh, new and always a revelation.
    Therefore, I cannot thank you enough for all the impressive work you do on this series. It seems that more often than not, I find myself even taking notes, or at least utilizing the links you provide, in order to expand even further on the knowledge you impart.
    Again, thank you.

    one of my favourite parallels to real world chemistry is the fact that documented wortcraft used to be a standard in chemical databooks. the taste of a substance would be written down alongside other physical properties. Needless to say, we don't practice this anymore in labs. Though in my first year at uni, my lab supervisor dipped his finger into some caffeine I'd isolated and was like 'yep, that's good.'

    Despite being the home of Nirn's grandest alchemical masterminds, Arkasis, this mad genius' homeland has by the 4th era the least developed craft of alchemy. Where in Resdayn the Dunmeri are turning themselves into gods on the go and 2 eras ago Arkasis was turning his assistants into vampires and werewolves via potions and elixirs and when roque member of Morag Tong conspired with the Celestial Serpent to brew a potion to return Tamriel back to the chaotic Dawn Era, in modern Skyrim the knowledge and daring are seemingly lost.

    Also: alchemy is a dangerous but *tempting* game when you are playing a new character, I’m maining an alchemist shield-caster in Oblivion right now - she spent her first few days in the Imperial City stealing every ingredient and morsel of food from every home and business (save for some of the better-guarded rich homes) and quickly bought the best shield and spells available from the market, but upon entering her first dungeons, so high levelled from alchemy alone that she got her poor elven ass kicked all up and down the street for lack of blocking skill and carrying capacity for the potions and poisons needed to power through. Turns out that strength or a constant effect feather item is very important for this build, you have to carry a lot of potions to make the most of it 😅

    Here is a guide on how to make your Skyrim playthrough easy.
    Start new game.
    Follow Ralof into keep. Kill legion captain. Grab the key. Level up weapon skills on Ralof. Open the gate with key. Contunie to Riverwood.
    Do BleakStone Barrow
    Continue the main quest and go to Whiterun.
    Give tablet to Farengar. Do Not approach western Watchtower.
    Take carriage to Riften. Hire Macurio.
    Go to Dawnguard and join. Teleport back to Riften. Take carriage to Dawnstar. Make use of invisible chest and merchant glitch to get good gear. Free Serena from the crypt.
    Go back to whiterun. Join companions. Finish their questline. Cure vilkas and farkas when they request it. Do not cure yourself. Grab ring of hircine and saviours hide.
    Congratulations, you are now a badass warrior who can turn into werewolf. Serena will not leave you as long as you do not go to her home making you two unstoppable.
    Continue Guild quests in any order but i recommend Thieves, Mages, Brotherhood in that order. Make sure to do special quest for Gabrielle to get ancient shrowded gear.
    You should be already to Matkath at this point (quest for Muiri), and should have note to meet in shrine of talos from strange nord.
    Do the Markath investigation. Get yourself thrown to mine. Escape with Maddanach. Wait till you reach exit and he gives you Old Gods armor, than Kill him before he leaves the throgh door. Grab ring from Silverblood dickhead.
    Now that you are head of all guilds it's time to get Serena Home. I personally recommend to stay werewolf (with Dawnguard) until you kill Harkon. Get Serena as your Steward. I recommend the Heartfire house near Morthal, if you want her to stay as vampire (recomended). Sidenote: Get Aela as steward in Lakeview Manor.
    You should be now powerful enough to handle main quest. Go to western watchtower. Continue questline until Summit at high Hrothgar.
    Give Markath to Stormcloak and Riften to Empire.
    Continue Main quest.
    (For Dragonguard recruits I recommend your old pal Marculia, the witch girl from the with tower (can't recall the name. Her mom is a witch on top of tower, she gives you Hag Eye or Eye of Melka a staff) and the Dark Elf mercenary from tavern in Raven Rock, can't remember the name of that Legend.
    Grab Odvahnik and get to that secret ruin. Don't forget to grab staff and mask from dragonpriest (be fast, block him on stairs). Jump into whirlpool. Summon rotten dragon from Soul Cairn :P Kill Alduin.
    Time to end Civil War. Join Ulfric.
    Now its time for Miraak.
    Kill cultists who will how approach you. Return to solstheim. Get all Black Books. Continue Miraak main quest. This should be a cakewalk even as lvl 50 werewolf.
    Now kill him. Try summomimg the dragon from Soul Cairn and Odvahniig for help :D
    Congratulations you finished Skyrim. Get a mansion in Raven Rock and any remaining houses alongside Thane titles. Or just do whatever you want. You earned it.

    Even in the creation kit, all alchemical effects -- or anything that modifies actor values -- is classified as a "magic effect." It's how the code...I mean dream song works.
    Furthermore, the Magic Resistance actor value reduces the magnitude of incoming poison damage. Just one example, but it also reduces the magnitude of all incoming, detrimental things classified as magic effects even if no resistance value is chosen for it. Those who have tinkered with mods will know what I'm talking about.

      That's how it's always been - in Oblivion, for example, there's an NPC you can fight in the Arena who has a shield that grants him total immunity to magic in all forms - including alchemical.
