      Play with one mod,... WAIT HEAR ME OUT!!! This is a Bugfix "mod". It's more like a literal patch Tod was to lazy to care to make with his money & team. Check it out!

      Try to play a very hard dungeon on vanilla
      Try to play Volthum ruines (hire Vorstag in Markarth)
      Do it on legendary
      I want to count how many times you curse 😆😆

      So there is one option for alchemy you can do, Wheat, creep cluster, giants toe, it’s a VERY effective potion and a great source of money, REALLY helpful regardless of what run/character you do. Looking forwards to the next episode

    I don't like playing vanilla legendary, but I like watching people play it.
    No matter what you do to the game, as many UA-camrs have shown, you *can* always beat the game (except keeping your character's hands bound) You can beat the game with 1 health, and without killing anything... hell you can probably do both.
    I use mods to add difficulty at adept because using the setting changes, to me, makes the characters too spongy. While I *could* beat it on legendary, the amount of grind and the play style required, just makes the not fun for me, I don't wanna spend an hour collecting ingredients or planning what missions to do hours beforehand.
    That's not what i play Skyrim for, but if you do enjoy doing all this I can definitely understand that, I do that sorta stuff with other games so go ahead and play legendary.
    TLDR: People play different games for different reasons, the idea of RPG games is that you play whatever way you like. Whichever you play... shut up and let people enjoy the way they like to play. Vanilla legendary, modded adept, or novice vanilla but you can only use telekinesis buckets for kills... all are valid.

      I know my comment is super late (but I'm on a huge Skyrim Anniversary Edition binge, maybe you also still/again play), but I actually really like that playing on adept difficulty gives you the luxury to go for silly theme builds or power level tertiary (i.e. niche) skills like pickpocketing without feeling like you're massively gimping yourself.

      @Mk Liz I do hope your first reply to the original commenter was meant to be a kind of "self aware trolling" thing.
      As in, you already knew that they made their comment to be funny. Then you simply made a generic insult to keep the joke going.
      I am genuinely concerned that your original reply was written in a serious mindset.

    I really miss a vanilla playthrough of Skyrim, good for you! You might be interested to make a staff of storm atronach, it can be done pretty easy and cheap, even at the beginning of the game, I find it to be very helpful on Legendary Playthroughs. Also, since you do vanilla, you could check out some nice mechanic exploits left there by Bethesda, such as: The aspect of terror + fire spells, or the Necromage perk, if you intend to become Vampire.

    @bettergaminghd4718 4 роки тому +22

    hey I was watching previous part, well it is nice to see someone playing on legendary, but I gave up because I got tired of getting enchantment, alchemy and smithing up to 100 so make badass enchantment armor and badass potions

    • @pixelmaster9964
      @pixelmaster9964 4 роки тому +1

      Javier Garcia what I like to do to avoid potion stacking at every corner is to
      1.get level 100 enchanting
      2. Use enchanting to swap between fortify enchanting potions and fortify alchemy gear (sounds basically like fortify resto, but it isn’t nearly as overpowered, I’m pretty sure it caps at like 5-10% increase, but this isn’t required)
      3. Use chaos and absurd health
      4. Get the 3 improved damage perks from destruction. (Because you have chaos, you’ll end up dealing 700ish elemental damage because 1 point in fire will increase every element, and you’re doing this 6 times. The best part though, is that for literally no reason it will increase the strength of absorb health, so you’ll end up with 98 absorb health)

    • @pixelmaster9964
      @pixelmaster9964 4 роки тому +1

      Javier Garcia forgot to mention the most important part. You won’t get your numbers that high without stalhrim weapons. Armor is whatever, but use a stalhrim weapon if you want to be absolutely overpowered.
      In case anyone didn’t know, stalhrim gets a (I think 25%) bonus to frost enchantments. Works great with chaos

      @geehammer1511 4 роки тому +2

      Yep. Each Hearthfire home can have an outside garden and gives the option to build a greenhouse, do this to all 3 of the houses and you'll have more plants than you can mix.

    As someone who mods skyrim let me just say play it how ever you want to play it. Whether that be with mods or vanilla, the hole point of skyrim is to play it how ever you want so long as you are enjoying yourself. Enjoyed the video. Keep it up.

  • @chrisrigney507
    @chrisrigney507 Рік тому

    I'm glad I stumbled across these. I'm currently playing through a Legendary playthrough for the first time. Focusing on Archer build (not stealth) and using a sword and board as a backup if I can't create enough distance. My first random encounter in the game was a troll, and even with a follower we couldn't out damage its health regen. Now that my archery skill is above 80 I can kill most things with patience.
    My biggest obstacle is trying not to shoot my follower in the back because they like to strafe.

    You can eat alchemy ingredients to learn what their first property is, plus more with the right alchemy perks. It's an easy way to start levelling your alchemy skill since you will have a good start figuring out what ingredients go together. If you're lucky, mixing two items that already have 1 effect in common may turn out to have 2 or more effects!

Never played on legendary mode myself since it doesn't make the game more fun, but just makes the enemies damage sponges. Seeing other people suffer playing like this is pretty great though.

    Jazbay and Dragon's Tongue are all over the place and also worth harvesting while in Eastmarch.

    love ya series, keep it going!

    So quick tip. It's best to only pick things up for selling if it's worth 1000x it's weight. Also get the transmute spell for the place this episode started in and mine everything. Make jewelry to sell and you'll be rich in no time.

    My go to restore magicka potion before starting a hearthfire garden is Red Mountain Flower and Creeper cluster. Once I get a garden I use Red Mountain Flower and Mora Tapinella. Creeper cluster bugs out in gardens. Also red flower and MT also can make a good poison with impstool.

  • @carnage2301
    @carnage2301 4 роки тому

    orange butterfly wings and blue mountain flowers make good restore health potions but they also add the fortify health effect. orange butterfly wings are very prevalent in whiterun, and you get 2 per butterfly as well so they’re easy to get a lot of early on

    I started on legendary and went from there, as I’m a sucker for pain, but I can give you a decent tip, get restorations quickly and get uthgerd the unbroken at low lvs, it isn’t that hard in later lvs but if you start up a game on legendary This will be a huge help, also if you use kajit (forgive my horrible spelling lol) don’t use weapons in early lvs and get gloves off the dude in the ratway, I really do hope this was helpful for anyone that tries legendary for the first time and is stuck in a level wall.

    I've always wondered if the generic dragons in Skyrim eat. You see men and mer eat. Even wolves standing over a fresh kill in random encounters. Giants eat mammoth cheese...and sometimes a whole mammoth. Do dragons eat?

    Thank you for your videos, they're great and always refreshing! Just a quick question, why don't you give Faendal any equipment? Anything you looted would make him so much stronger
    Also, being on fire does not increase the damage they receive from external sources, it just means you add 10-20% to the damage indicated on the spell.
