When it came to Skyrim, I always did the Companions quest line early on to get the werewolf blood. All the perks, none of the cons. No one attacks you on sight (unless in wolf form). Immune to diseases. No sunlight damage. Plus the wolf form looks way more appealing. The only real con is the lack of rest bonus from sleeping. But let's face it, the only time we sleep in the game is when we get that urge to go to a shady inn where we get kidnapped by a crazy chick.

You forgot the Thermonuclear Explosion spell from Quest for Glory 5. This spell was the wizard's reward for a fairly hard quest about halfway through the game (the fighter and thief got actual good rewards). When you cast it you get a nice cut scene of a nuclear explosion going off centered on the area you were at, which destroys a large part of the map, then you get the game over screen. Speaking of the Experimental MIRV. I had a friend who wanted to see how some of the cool weapon animations in Fallout 3, so I went into god mode and started killing people in Megaton. I watched one of the invulnerable NPCs run into my house. I was curious so I followed him inside and saw him run over to where I had the MIRV of display next to a stack of ammo.

I didn't have issues with low walls or the like with my fatman shots...I rarely had the things land anywhere near the targeted enemy (more often than not, they dropped early in their arc and landed closer to me than their target...even when fired out of VATS (since VATS can mess with the shots, too)).

The other thing with Armageddon is that "having to play Ultima IX to make it useful" is the very definition of "more trouble than it's worth"...

[@Cyfrik]

+Sam Moyer More like: You edit the spell to change water to life. The -compiler- ritual informs you about 900 warnings and 15 errors, many of which involve attempts at implicit typecasting. And when cast, the spell crashes with an exception you don't recognize, so you have to consult -Google- a number of ancient scrolls to figure out what went wrong.

[@marhawkman303]

Cyfrik I personally think of it like a scaling thing. 1 stick of dynamite makes a bang, but it won't blow up a town. But use enough dynamite and the entire town becomes a smoking ruin. So for this you take a spell designed to insta-kill people, then increase the area of effect to the entire planet.

Here's a trick regarding Fallout 2. Each time you create a save file, the game actually creates a folder with various files containing the data for your character (stats, inventory, quest advancement etc.) as well as the data for each zone of the game (the NPCs still alive, the items in the containers, etc.) With that knowledge of how the system works, it is possible to pass on the hintbook from an endgame character to a new game one, for instance by placing the book in a specific container of a specific zone, then exiting the game, discreetly swapping out the save files for that zone, and picking up the hintbook that magically appeared in your new character's container. Once the book is in your inventory, it's suggested to swap the zone fille back to the original one, in case there were some key items and NPC's that weren't there anymore in your endgame, for whatever reason. Now enjoy being a god in the wasteland :)

On a slightly less theoretically overpowered note, you'd think that the spell Stun from Might and Magic 6 would be at least marginally useful, given that it forces the target to go through its recovery before it can do anything again. It's also cheap, and available very early on. The problem comes when you realise that monsters have different recovery mechanics to the player-controlled party. They seem to operate on a fixed-time recovery, and the spell Stun doesn't actually trigger that. So it seems to exist purely to allow monsters to cast it on the party... except that there is literally no monster in the entire game which can cast Stun.

[@ruggedlemmings9163]

The thing that you seem to be forgetting about becoming a Vampire Lord in Dawnguard (other than the fact that no, people don't immediately attack you at Stage 4) is that...well...your character is now a vampire and probably should start behaving like one. Night becomes your new day (until you complete the main quest and can just give the sun a black eye any time you want). Seriously though, if you need to feed you're not just going to go into a house with 2/3 people awake and in the same room as the person you're going to bite...vampires are sneakier than that. There's also plenty of ways to compensate for your weakness to fire (be they racial traits or just getting fire resistance enchantments). Another thing to note is that unless town guards or civilians actually SEE you turn into a Lord, you'll loose all of your bounty for whatever you did in the Vampire Lord form once you get away and change back to normal (since the guards/civilians had no way to know who that Vampire Lord actually was) much like how you can put on the Grey Fox's Cowl in Oblivion, do whatever you want, then lose all of your bounty once you take it off. On top of all of this, the Vampire Lord form makes for a great "Oh shit!" button if you find yourself losing on a fight (assuming you're not outside in the day and haven't shot out the sun). The AoE Drain Health does a crap ton of damage while healing you for a ridiculous amount...really that's all you need, everything else - like the Gargoyles that absolutely murder everything - is just icing on the cake. You can say you just don't like the vampire playstyle (being forced into 3rd person every time you change forms and having trouble with doors are definitely two of the very valid complaints that come with being a vampire), but "more trouble than it's worth"? I'd say not, you just have to actually enjoy playing the game as though you were playing a vampire, and thus play as though your character were a vampire...because they are. ...................all that said, I still have way more fun as a modded werewolf that has a random chance of spontaneously changing at sun-down and being forced to stay in ww form the entire night. :^)

I actually loved playing Skyrim, even as a normal vampire, and I thought that Vampire Lord was pretty cool. But I do acknowledge that there were plenty of downsides. For me it is all about the RP, not simply practicality or what's objectivly better. And things got a lot more fun when I installed the Better Vampires mod. As a side note: Stage 4 vampires were only "hated"/attack in vanilla Skyrim. It got removed with the Dawnguard DLC IIRC. So it was impossible to be "hated" as a Vampire Lord without mods (or possibly glitches).

I was planning on waiting to become a vampire because of the issue with being a melee assassin character and fighting ancient dragons that always breathe fire. But then I made a mistake and did too much fast travel and so my vampirism advanced too far and I don’t really want to bother doing anything else to heal it. But it’s kinda nice to be able to stand on top of light sources or walk through broad daylight or stand on top of characters while sneaking and still somehow be unnoticed. So it’s not too bad.

I'd say being a Werewolf is more annoying in Skyrim. It's still pretty cool, but you can't change back to human/elf/giant lizard at will, meanign you have to wander around in the woods until you turn back. Also Vampire Lord has a ranged attack, Werewolves don't.

However, it is entirely possible to do so without getting the nuclear bomb you need to complete your mission or the lead box required to survive the radioactive gemstone the boss drops that you need to escape and win the game, and that's not counting the lack of ammo and health potions you need for the fight itself that you'd be missing. Oh, and even if you get through all of that, you end up stuck in a dead end after a point of no return as the final boss room exit leads to a room in a previous level on the wrong side of a one way door, which you open by playing through the other levels normally.

Being a vampire in Skyrim is massively op if you know what you’re doing. Be an assassin or warrior (wizards surprisingly get the short end of the stick here) get the necromage perk from the restoration tree, and voila, all of your magic effects are doubled. This includes any perks with scaling effects, enchantments, standing stones, self targeted spells, shouts, and buffs. Use elemental fury with a battle axe and it will feel like using daggers. Use dual daggers with elemental fury and it will feel like a chain saw. All you have to do is wait until night if it’s daytime. Or you could use storm call and block the sun. Also every effect of dragon aspect is doubled as well.

Only 72 mini nukes in Fallout 3? Hmm somebody never took advantage of Flak and Shrapnel's inventory.

[@MythicByrd]

I believe there's more in the DLC as well. Including overlords who occasionally had them on hand.

[@LAN3SMUSIC]

I've never noticed Jane's badass arm scar! Love her even more now!

[@LordBaktor]

I propose the Blue Shell from Mario Kart to the inevitable "Commenter Edition". Yes, it always (almost always) hits the person in first place and can hit some people on it's way there, but you don't get a Blue Shell unless you are very far behind (I think 8th place is the lowest where I have gotten a Blue Shell) and there's no chance at all you are going to get to first place by using that item alone. Basically you're only doing whoever's in second place a huge favor.

[@Aenorial]

That's not trouble. I mean you don't get trouble for using a blue shell. Appart from that punch flying in your face at blinding speed for having used it on your friend. In the end, using it won't make your race worse.

[@marhawkman303]

Aenorial I think he's saying that acquiring one is more work than it's worth. It kinda requires intentionally losing the game. I mean if you have one you might as well use it, but I'd never intentionally get far enough behind to get one.

[@Aenorial]

Mar Hawkman Yeah but the game doesn't make you do anything to get one. It's meant to help you or at least make you feel important when you're getting owned. Plus it's a random drop, not really an asset or ability. And it's definitely not awesome.

[@hallaloth3112]

Depends on which game and which intensity of items your playing with. I have seen blue shells from 6th before, and if you are a good driver just having a string of rotten luck. . .that can really shake up the front runners enough for you to sneak in at the end. I have also seen a blue shell on Double Dash's baby park take someone from 1st to 8th AT the finish line because of how close the race was.

[@EngineerOfChaos]

How about that Lightning Cloud powerup? You have to ram into an opponent or else YOU get shrunk.

“Fallout 3 is actually a sequel to Fallout 2. Because that’s how numbers work.” Thanks I totally learned how 2 meth today

Also, tell that to the people that named the new game Fallout 76, following up on Fallout 4 :^)

@@WWEdeadman what happened to 5-75 though.

@@WWEdeadman It isn't a sequel though is it... You do understand what sequels are right?

Annoying Radio DJ Three Dog. Hmm. I'm sorry Jane, but that doesn't add up. I'm sure you meant "Fantastic, lovely DJ, whose only being used here as he is a very recognisable character, and we couldn't be bothered to put up with Colonel Autumn." No need to thank me for the correction, we all knew what you were really thinking.

[@fallenone6800]

Being a vampire lord was amazing! You could easily get rid of the downsides and you got the force.

[@loverofmonstergirls]

Using the mod Better Vampires makes being a vampire in Skyrim far better, awesome even.

[@thecrash2615]

It can be a bit of a pain to set up (you have to disable the feeding system from one) and could possibly be OP on lower difficulty settings, but Sacrosanct + Better Vampires is the most fun I've had playing as a vampire in Skyrim, in fact I think it might be the most fun I've had in Skyrim full stop.

[@user-wh8mb7tm2g]

@@thecrash2615 it makes you so overpowered though

[@thecrash2615]

​@@user-wh8mb7tm2g I didn't find it that OP on legendary, rather it just gave me the potential to beat (what should be) weak enemies without struggling. I know it probably seems stupid to play on a difficulty where things are stronger than they should be, then use mods to bring them back down to normal, but I personally like the dragonborn being weak when he starts out, while having potential paths to become powerful like the dragonborn of lore. It's the same logic I use to allow for mods like Phenderix Magic Evolved and Thunderchild.

[@user-wh8mb7tm2g]

@@thecrash2615 i personally use Sacrosanct and that mod where you can get bat travel its amazing😂 yeah i totally agree with you i like struggling at the start

[@originalShorai]

To be honest by the time you've bought the Doomsday bunker in GTA online it's likely that you are already rolling in now unusable in game currency so it's not as big a deal as they try to describe it here. Honestly hearing the topic of this video the first thing I thought of was the GTA Online mechanic vehicle delivery. It almost never works and the longer you're online the more you pay an NPC to be terrible at their job

[@LAF0NT]

that was true until it wasn't an npc anymore, the car just spawns on the side of the road just offscreen now

[@originalShorai]

@@LAF0NT Ok, but having magical powers to teleport your car doesn't make it any less incompetent. It's just slightly less hindered by the NPC'S poor mapping.

Firstly,vampires ARE supposed to be hideous,they are the risen dead after all.Secondly have you heard about the necromage perk and how op its is if you are a vampire?

[@basillah7650]

Yeah, I do not even think he played any of these games they steal the footage from other people based on the comments they read.

[@supersaiyangoddess4293]

But compared to Werewolfs they're trash. Werewolf fits any build and doesn't change the way you play the game at all while making you immune to disease. As a vampire you need to build your character around that class to avoid getting stomped at higher difficulties. Especially against enemies like fire breathing Dragons. Vampires are only fun with mods.

[@MariaSantos-xg9vx]

unless you are op asf

*skyrim is only fun with mods* fixed that for ya
