Impressive quality video. Im surprised to see not many subs. I always loved skyrim but was bummed when it didnt feel like it had as much as oblivion

I pretty much turned this game into Elden Scrolls. I got an unarmed buuld in the style of Wing Chun, way of the monk, hand to hand custom skill tree, and character creation overhaul. I can still get one shot, but if I parry or dodge right, I'm sitting pretty

One of these reasons why resto glitch is not removed in the game

I've done a few legendary playthroughs and the last couple times I made it harder. No sneaking and no bows. Then I fall back on my habit of wandering around finding bandits and avoiding the story while maxing my alchemy and smithing until my gear makes it feel like I'm on easy mode and I get bored. Only quests I do before level 40 is what's needed to get a home in Falkreath.

I've been playing legendary skyrim for like 9 years now and it's almost natural now but there are serious flaws with the games system that rear their head 1. The games damage management being based on multiplication and division based on difficulty leads to extremely unfun and spammy playstyles which makes it feel like you're playing a numbers game 2. Magic has a severe lack of depth in that damage does not scale with your proficiency and the numbers are always flat and the only way to make it work is to use summons which will increase your dp's immensely. 3. Crafting while not actually necessary to survive legendary is almost incentivised to make the game more enjoyable to a degree. 4. The levelling system while logical in theory is inferior to a form of exp system with attributes and skills like fallout new vegas, skills level at incredibly uneven rates and the only way to level them fairly is to power level them which in some cases feels like cheating.

ngl im doing a legendary survival playthrough and i have just been sending in my followers or trying to hit and run as a werewolf as that is the only way to deal high damage to so many things...then using the totem of brother hood to even as a big bad werewolf hide behind followers/summons

Easy solution: rogue with the backstab feat. x15 damage when you sink that dagger in their back. Ive made it to level 30 on the difficulty just below legend on survival mode. Also became vampire lord and that helps a lot I use tons of poison to help btw, paralysis really helps

I've played it on legendary The damn game come out in 2011 everybody's played it on legendary All they do for legendary is make it harder to kill them there's not extra skills there's not extra abilities there's not extra rewards It's just takes a lot more hitting It's pointless and boring, hell if you want to make it challenging walk around with no armor your weapon becomes a wooden sword and you don't use magic there you are there's your difficulty increase You don't even need to change the settings.

Not only enemies but also followers and compainions, and even traps does more damage, so you have to use them how much possible

Add a dodge mechanic and you have a soulslike rpg. Way too many kids think high HP enemies are great with a low DPS player.

Destruction magic and melee was already basically worthless in Skyrim. Why ever play hard mode? There's literally no fun or challenge.

I mean if you play orc it's really not very hard, but they're a broken build. For everyone else, proper use of potions and actually preparing for the kinds of fights you're going to get into will take you the rest of the way.

Just enter bleak falls from the exit

I play exclusively on Legendary, to do anything easier feels like cheating at this point. But it is insanely tedious and the only way to be truly viable is min-maxing everything.

Legendary mode in Skyrim is just that you do less damage and they do more damage that has nothing to do with difficulty just makes the game annoying. What’s the point.

Ah, legendary difficulty. That's how i discovered stealth archer build.

If not a busted stealth archer then an illusionist/summoner are the only things I play for legendary difficulty. It just feels unfun to get thrashed with damage while feeling like all my melee attacks hit like wet noodles. Adept / expert feels more balanced to play on.

no one notices that he doesn't use the block mechanic?

Skyrim's legendary difficulty with summons, companions, and kiting the enemy becomes easily doable. But with survival, it's straight-up unplayable.

i love this game

Personally thought legendary was ridiculous. There is no benefit or reward for it and has no affect other than making enemies OP.

on my first playthrough i couldnt even do the trip from riverwood to bleak falls (the TRIP, not the actual quest) without using console commands to keep myself from dying on fucking novice difficulty

When youre geared out even legendary is way too easy

Skyrim is easy on Legendary too 😋

I feel like difficulty in skyrim instead of making you play with more skill just makes you abuse to crapy mechanics of the game.

Legendary difficulty sure is forcing you to play illusion mage in early game. That sweet fury skill.😂

la dificultad legendaria es realmente buena, te incita a usar cosas y perks que no usarías en, por ejemplo, dificultad dificil.

To me, playing in Legendary difficulty forces you to cheese because mele combat on most bosses is suicide, even if you are axare of game mechanics. It's quite unfun to me and searching for this kind of gameplay would be more interesting in souls like.

The best way to play legendary is to quick save a lot a lot. A lot a lot

As someone who regularly plays on Legendary Difficulty I understand the criticisms it has, that it's sorta lazy in that it doesn't change how enemies behave or have any other interesting modifiers, that enemies are super tanky. But also speaking as someone who initially played Skyrim on Novice difficulty and had a fairly gradual journey to Always playing on Legendary, I can say with certainty that on lower difficulties you can fully ignore even basic tactics and mechanics, you can get away with being in a slugging match where you just let your enemies hit you and make no attempt to block or dodge, you can ignore potions and opt to just use Healing and letting your bars refill naturally, the crafting skills aren't that useful on lower difficulties. As you raise the difficulty you'll start to need to do these things just to survive and become powerful. When I first played Skyrim I was entirely new to RPGs and did not understand many of the mechanics, that meant I found anything above my difficulty level unfair, but as my knowledge of the game grew, I found myself needing to raise the difficulty just so that I wouldn't be bored to death by the combat. And as I said, I play on Legendary as my *Default*. So believe me when I say that Skyrim isn't Hard, it's just a matter of game knowledge and a bit of patience.

You will cheese and take 3 hours to increase alchemy smithing and enchant early

Legendary is great. But i always hit a wall around level 30 and go straight to max enchanting and levelking with telekenis fast travel. Resto and conjuration are pretty much mandatory.

Tbh man i complete skyrim 5 times ig and all of them was on legendary difficulty and 3 was on survival mod mybe ill try to play it on the normal difficulty to see how it will be

Good video n I just play expert level as it's more than just 1 shotting everything.

As someone who plays legendary on the regular, my input here is that you will be doing alot of kiting, level grinding and alot of cheesing of exploits just to make the difficulty remotely playable. Go and get max smithing and possibly enchanting and go find a giant to consistantly beat you up with your maxxed out armour and work on whatever weapon tree your going for. Legendary essentially requires you to prioritize a very one sided build. Basically, if you wanna play a stealth archer for example, you gotta focus exclusively on archery, sneak and light armour; no wasting points on something like restoration and blocking since you'll never use them. Once you have a consistant build that you can use as a foundation, it would be safe to start grinding other niche skill trees. Oh and always hoard health potions.

Beating Skyrim on legendary is easy... if you use every exploit imaginable to be overpowered in the game, which in all honesty, is not that hard.

Legendary difficulty doesn't do jack.. Oh, you have 4 times the hp? That's so fun...

Totally I think it's already 30 hours and I did not make mutch fight I level up stealing alchemy and spoke 😂😂

I kinda agree, i was doing a 2 handed build and i fought a spriggan, i died so many times and had to learn its moves and when it does its insta kill so i can bash it to interrupt, but the loot doesnt scale so i worked my ass off and i levelled up skills multiple times during the fight, levelled up more than clearing a dungeon on normal difficulty

You portray Legendary difficulty as some horrible nightmare, while I got the undying ghost spell early in the game and made him soak all the damage while I hit the enemies with a greatsword. Which is why I now gave 81 two-handed (legendary), 27 heavy armor and 70 conjuration. So much for a barbarian berserker build.

and imagine how much fun the legendary difficulty gives in VR ^^

I play legendary survival and usually go get Marcurio and Meeko before Bleak Falls lol

Booo, try it on survival mode! (Joking, of course)

Sounds pretty ghey tbh. Hard difficulty is harder AI by better interaction. Not numbers.

Im sure its 12 times difference from what todd howard said you deal 12 times less and are dealt 12 times more

Nolvus + Legendary difficulty = IMPOSSIBLE

With alchemy, entchanting and smithing at 100 without abusing any bugs with potions, you can i.e. make dragonbone gear + bow, entchant it and legendary feels like expert or easier. I started with expert and everything took like 10+ shots and had to try not getting hit. I then leveled these 3 professions (never actually drink + stat pots, it was just for +enchant and +smithing) and oneshot everything. Put it on legendary and it's still boringly easy tbh. I still have it on legendary and the 1/4 dmg explanes why my casting doesn't do a lot of dmg and is a bit tedious. Trying to level it up and ise it to mix things up. I guess legendary is hard early game but once you have gear (and perks i guess), it also get's rather easy comparibly

I was so excited when I learned that silver weapons handle draugr amazingly

Cure your vampirism next.
