What's great is that most people don't have hoods and will gladly and immediately wear one. (if they don't, reverse pickpocket the hood onto them and wait for them to go to sleep, they usually put it on before sleeping or after waking up. wake them up several times if needed.)

    I remember doing a Mages Guild run similar to this, focusing on "non-offensive" skills like Restoration, Alteration, and Mysticism. When I did the quest to get the magic staff, I ended up picking Paralysis as the effect, and after that the game was basically over. As long as I had soul gems (or Varla Stones, more likely), I just had to keep applying the paralyze and then swoop in to slurp the HP away.
    In hindsight, the fact that Absorb Health is in Restoration in this game is kinda funny. My intention with that playthrough was to be a goodie two-shoes Healer type of character, but Paralysis+Absorb feels more like a vampire than actual vampirism does.

    28:13 To answer the question about the invisibility potions, it's a 50/50!
    The Feydnaz are a special leveled dremora type that only spawn in the great gate for Defense of Bruma. One of their inventory items is "MQ14DremoraInvisPotion", a leveled list with only a single item: a Potion of Invisibility. HOWEVER, the leveled list itself has a 50% chance of rolling "none" for its item, leaving it a 50% drop rate.

  • @n0vitski
    @n0vitski Місяць тому +374

    I think the lore behind oblivion crisis is that dawn cultists believe that Mundus is the daedric realm of Lorkhan, and the rest of the Aedra killed him and took it for themselves (which you know, the last part is kinda true according to most mythologies of Elder Schools). So their idea is to help Dagon, prince of liberation and revolution, to invade Mundus and restore Lorkhan as the rightful ruler. I don't think it's communicated all that well in the game though.
    Either way, mythic dawn do not think that Mundus is part of Dagon's realm, at least not from what I know.
    Also, dremora aren't exclusive to Dagon's realm, and and neither other types of lesser daedra. A type of daedra can be more common in a certain prince's domain, but they are very rarely exclusive. From what I understand, most lesser daedra aren't really creations of the princes, they are just less powerful, less influential daedric spirits. If they so choose, they can probably travel between different realms of oblivion, serving the princes as people serve rulers of countries. It's actually a bit strange that dremora are so common in Dagon's realm, as they are supposed to like order and hierarchies a lot, and as I already said, Dagon is a prince of revolution, so I wouldn't think it would jive with strict social order of dremora.
    ...it's as if Bethesda wanted to have regular demon-like enemies in oblivion gates, so they just used dremora without a second thought. As a wise man once said, probably a game mechanic.
    Also, finally some main screen content.

They continously come at you. On my old 360 I'd have so many cultists bodies stacked up from killing them that my 360 would be lagging. I'd go and create my class with the max sneak I got from the beginning and armor and weapons skills where higher.

    No but I actually think that assassinating the Emperor was the most important operation for the Mythic Dawn. Think about it: the Daedric Lord of Revolution (and Desctruction and Change) wouldn't be appeased by killing some no-name argonians for a few years. His whole thing is breaking the established order, so if you're going to make sacrifices to him, you'd want to sacrifice nobles, lords, dukes, kings. Emperors. The killing of the Emperor and his heirs WAS the ritual that they NEEDED to complete to empower and embolden Dagon, and gain his favor and protection for themselves.
    That's why they had all that manpower and organization to overwhelm his bodyguards on their own escape route, but are so ineffective for the rest of the main quest. They spent all their resources, they blew their load, and after finding out about Martin they're basically just trying to do damage control while still in the refractory period.

    To your question to tradesmen about products of various quality; It literally depends on what it is. If it is something I am putting in a wall, covering up? Best I can get, made the best I can. I want it to last as long as possible. If its something that wont cause damage, wont make a mess, and is temporary, lower quality is fine until it can be taken care of properly.
    If I ever work in someone elses home, I give them the options and my opinion and let them make the decisions.

    To answer the question about using cheap products if you're skilled at a trade, yes. Absolutely. I am a mechanic that has a lot backing up my skills but may favorite car I've ever owned was a $25 2002 Subaru Outback with over 300k miles, 3 connected struts, a multitude of leaks patched with layers upon layers of J.B. Weld. I owned that car for 4 years and probably 15 sets of Douglas All Season tires since every wheel had a different alignment.

    12:10 The Bravil mages guild quest is pretty cool, because Varon Vamori does have a "silver tongue" and the ability to teach speechcraft, whereas the illusion magic focused guild raises peoples disposition via the magical method. Ardaline is naturally a shy and anxious girl which is why she joined the guild, and Varon stole her charm staff out of spite that his method won't work on her and make her return his affections. He's set up as someone more used to having success with girls and unable to accept when he doesn't than a "nice guy" type. Either way, excellent dynamic for this particular school of magic.

If you could actually get gold, you could use Fortify Health to deal with no armor, use Absorb Magicka for a quick recharge (or maybe halt Camoran's spellcasting), heal other NPCs to make use of them killing enemies for you. Get the most bang for your buck out of the school you're going with.

    You cast faster while blocking because your hand has to move less distance.
    When you cast normally your hand has to move from down by your waist and then up above your head (cast on self) or out forward (cast on target/touch) and then you have to move your hand all the way back down to your waist.
    If you're blocking your hand is already up by your shoulder so it just has to go up/out and come back to your shoulder.

    I scrubbed through some comments in case someone said it first but found none in the 60 or so i read :) at the 1:45 mark you sais you have a net -50% weakness to magic, this isnt the case 🧙‍♂️ You have a net Zero% weakness
    Using Flare as an example
    (6×2)-50%=6
    A high elf would take 6+25%=7.5 ❤
    Hope this helps and to let you know hitting 100% resistance to magic would always full resist magic, the school of restoration has such a spell you start with accesss to as a breton
    The main reason your dying is because because you have 60 health and most dremora mages use spell of roughly 15-20 damage even in the early game
    The solution? probably a sigil stone of resist magic even 5% is fine since its as effective as 10% (ie a spell doing 10 damage now is (10×2)-55%=9 and any hard earned gold could be used to make a spell of resist magic 10% 👀
    Good luck in future runs!

    • @JustBackgroundNoise
      @JustBackgroundNoise  Місяць тому

      I assume the weaknesses and resistances are additive from the base value. So flare would be 6 * (100-50)% rather than 6*100%*(-50%).
      If it were multiplicative, a breton with the mundane ring would only have a 75% resistance, not 100%.

    • @undergravitydownforce714
      @undergravitydownforce714 Місяць тому

      ​​@@JustBackgroundNoiseIts quite simple to test in game why its not 50% weakness to magic, also u are correct they are not multipicate, when you put on the mundane ring they add together onto the 50% resist magic in a simple manner, its just Weakness to magic and Resist magic dont actually interact multiplicatively, they are 2 separate things that happen one after the other, lets reverse* it, You take 50% less damage from spells
      it outputs half the damage, then You take 100% more damage from spells is applied, resulting in it doubling back to normal damage
