Yo, fall damage. On the odd chance you read this comment i wanted to say that stumbling across your content has been one of the best accidents ive had on this site.

Mirabelle deserved better. I tried to heal her after she got hurt during the winterhold quest, but she still died. And she's basically one of the only competent administrators in the game! Justice for Mirabelle!

[@christophertaylor9100]

She had to go so you could be Archmage. There's no rational basis for giving the dragonborn the job if she's around.

[@Mr-tu4cj]

⁠@@christophertaylor9100I wish they just didn’t make the dragonborn archmage. Even with her dead, it makes no sense. Surely the one of the professors would make a better archmage than the dragonborn, who may not even use magic and who is obviously going to leave the college to pursue bigger things. They could’ve at least given you the option to turn it down and give it to someone else, like that mod does.

One thing you about Cronvangr cave that absolutely terrified me were the MAMMOTHS hanging from the walls and ceiling. A cut above the rest indeed.

[@Chisszaru]

That last one made me laugh. That really is how you become agod without becoming a god. The Thalmor wouldn't like you though, as they'd want to know your current location to put your corpse on a pike, or turn it into ash with magic, but luckily for us, we're the dragonborn, and depending on which side you pick in the Skyrim civil war, either has the Empire or the Stormcloaks on your side, but it's always better to side with the Empire, because the Thalmor can't lay their glubby little fingers on you, as that would start a new war between the Empire and Aldmeri Dominion, which the elves would lose, because the Empire now has a dragonborn on their side. Plus, it's the quickest way to truly re-unite Skyrim, and because pretty much everyone hates the Thalmor, elves, humans, Khajiits and Argonians would flock to the Empire. I've seen what the Empire is capable of doing when they really want to put their enemies down.

Pretty sure there’s a place more terrifying than #13’s spider cave. I think it’s in the Reach, an abandoned fort buried in the mountain. A conjuror moved in and started experimenting on spiders giving them cloak spell effects. Imagine, a giant Frostbite Spider with a lightning cloak. No thank you. Hard to kill something with fire when it’s wrapped in fire already.

And the Electromancer in question is named Kornalus [Frey], a permanent corpse (after being eliminated) and one of the best Dead Thralls to resurrect at (his) max level 40. If given an Elsweyr Fondue + a player made potion with an obscene amount of Fortify Magicka as a _secondary_ effect, he can dual-cast Thunderbolt till the Frostbite Spiders come home 🕷️ Just make sure you enter Harmugstahl after you're level 46 (vanilla version)

[@guyhogan4882]

Honestly. I like being a vampire as a warrior class. During the night your physical stats get a slight buff w/out being transformed. And if I need mid to long range, the transformed blood magic gets pretty OP since it has splash dmg and heals you also. Likewise as a mage I found werewolf useful for close range, if I'm getting mobbed I can simply transform and start tearing stuff up. Think it's counter productive to use a magic based transformation with a magic based character, and melee transformation with melee character. The transformation becomes redundant pretty quick after midgame otherwise, as you get pretty OP without any buffs from the subspecies. Just my opinion.

[@ShrockWPS]

At level 62 I can melt enemies so fast compared to when I transform to my vampire lord form. Also the fact I can get staggered is so trigging. Granted I don't have all the perks yet, so I'll see if it's better when I have it maxed.

[@glyph68]

I bought Skyrim on release and had a vacation planned for it. I spent 117 hours in the game that week. No-lifed it. I've played it off and on through the years and have thousands of accrued hours. Currently I am lvl 11 Thief sneaky-snipe in the Wildlander Modpack... The game just doesn't get old.

[@thomasdarby6084]

I love your stuff! I've been playing Skyrim since it came out, Oblivion and Morrowind before that... and always love to find new things. I knew about the whale bones in Kagrenzel, but on the PS5 I can't use console commands, so seeing them up close is difficult. However, there is another place to see the bones of a "flying whale," and that's the bridge to the Hall of Heroes in Sovngarde! Much more up-close and personal.

[@DaBIONICLEFan]

The thing about the Necromage perk that you forgot to mention is that negative effects on yourself will also be 25% stronger. So your weaknesses are increased as well as strengths.

Eorland Gray-Mane is an old guy and I believe it's a plot point that after enough in game time, he passes away from natural causes after you finish the Companions questline since he gives no more quests and supposedly Kodlak's spirit gives you the ability to make better steel. He also dies to any random dangers if that danger (vampires, Miraak followers, thief, etc.) deals enough damage to him.

[@ShrockWPS]

He dies naturally? I'll have to keep that in mind. I'm level 63 now but only recently completed the Companions line. I've never seen Eorland die in any of my playthroughs though so I always assumed he was invulnerable.

[@Rorschachqp]

@@ShrockWPS I play a lot with the vendors so when a vendor goes missing in several playthroughs, I notice.

​@@Rorschachqp Well, I looked into it and seems that many people have him killed off either during dragon attacks or just randomly. Doesn't look like he dies naturally though, he just happens to be killed for one reason or another.

[@ASCARNAZ]

There's an easier (and cheaper) way to do the fortify loop, if you enchant something with fortify alchemy then create a fortify restoration potion, drink it, then reequip your fortify alchemy gear, you'll find that the enchantment is ever so slightly stronger, so you make another fortify restoration potion drink it, reequip, higher numbers. The restoration loop is much faster and less resource intensive than the fortify loop. One thing to note, avoid the yellow flowers added with the Dawnguard DLC, they might let you make fortify restoration potions with higher scaling, but for some reason it doesn't stack, so it won't go above a certain threshold

You can also heal during brawls and no one says anything. Also the fortify alchemy works much better as a fortify restoration potion as well since enchantments are considered restoration. It's also cheaper on soul gems

#15 can be even faster; rather than making new alchemy gear over and over, just make a Restoration buffing potion, drink it, unequip and reequip the alchemy gear, make another restoration potion, and continue that cycle 5-10 times, but don't get greedy, the numbers can go negative if you go too high. Then, make a TON of Restoration potions that are super powered-, use them to make better enchanting potions, and uber enchant ALL you gear however you want.

Skyrim. The land of the Nords, a realm of towering mountains and ancient ruins, where dragons once roamed the skies and heroes were forged in the fires of battle. The cold winds howl through the valleys, carrying whispers of forgotten legends and the echoes of a time when the Throat of the World was alive with the roar of mighty beasts. In the heart of this vast expanse lies the city of Whiterun, a bustling hub of trade and adventure, where the Companions stand ready to defend the realm. The taverns brim with tales of valor, and the streets are filled with merchants hawking their wares. Here, the player embarks on a journey, facing perilous quests and forging alliances with diverse factions, from the stealthy Dark Brotherhood to the noble College of Winterhold. As the sun sets behind the mountains, casting a golden hue over the landscape, the call of adventure beckons. Will you wield the power of the Thu'um, mastering the ancient dragon shouts, or will you delve into the dark arts of necromancy? The choice is yours in this land of dragons, magic, and endless possibilities. The fate of Skyrim hangs in the balance, waiting for a hero to rise.

#12 reminded me of an obscure trick i found by myself after a few playthroughs: near the city of Markarth, to the SE, there's a small town. when you first enter, a crowd of people will be talking about how a group of Forsworn have taken over a nearby mine. (i think it's Kolskeggr mine) talk to to the two survivors, and your quest journal will point you there. clear the Forsworn out of the mine, and come back and talk to them again. the second one, an Orc, will then declare you to be an "orc-friend", giving you free access to all the Orc Strongholds! most of them will only get you skill training, IF you win a brawl with their chief, (that's why i thought of it) but there's one way on the east side, Narlsbur, that also has an EBONY MINE that you will be able to access!
