[@windhelmguard5295]

frost magic is super weak in general, nords, vampires, draugr, frost dragons and a lot of animals resist frost, plus there is a fuck ton of ones that are immune to it. only things that fire is not good against are flame atronarchs and dunmer, not really much of an issue. shock is the best destruction magic, only need to worry about storm atronarchs, which aren't an issue if you focus on the main quest as you usually never reach the level necessary for those to become common.

The 4 naked people is a random encounter where vampires or bandits have killed those 4 and have taken their gear to impersonate them. The vampires usually kill vigilants and the bandits kill faction members. Usually the 4 imposters are in some bushes nearby changing until you surprise them

In my recent magica playthrough, I discovered that the damage over time for the flame spell stacks for each cast, so spamming flames in many rapid bursts does way more damage for less magica, rather than holding it continuously.

Also anyone else who has the Delphine not working in Alduin's wall area, you can add a torch to her left hand and then she unfreezes and the quest can resume. That's right, it softlocks because she doesn't have the torch to put in her hand to light the brazier. "It just works"

Fun tip: 1) Unlock dual casting 2) Spam both mouse buttons at once with the flame spell 3) Profit The burn effect lasts about 2 sec after the end of the flame spell. If you use the toggle spell very fast, the burn stacks. If you toggled it 8 times during those 2 seconds, the enemy will burn for 8x the "normal" amount. This is much better dps than simply holding down the spell, also consumes less magica.

Btw, the Atronach stone is much better than the Apprentice stone. Sure, the Magicka regen decrease sucks, but the 50 extra is a nice boon to somewhat offset this, also because it's percentage based so more magicka total = more magicka regen per second. But by FAR the best part of the stone is the magic absorb. It's SO powerful. You can completely absorb atronachs, dragon shouts, and lots of other things you wouldn't think would work. You can actually absorb your own summoned minions, which basically gives you infinite magicka because you usually absorb more than it takes to cast the spell.

Last time I played Skyrim, I finished the game as a sneaky mage. I first had in mind a stealth archer with a bound bow, but ended up using a custom flame aura spell - it "froze" a part of your mana, effectively reducing your maximum amount, but it worked permanently, dealing a little bit of damage in a small radius around my character. I just tweaked the radius a bit, and fun part - it didn't appear to affect my visibility unless I was currently casting it. So most of my fights were me sneaking around the site while everyone else burned to death. The fact my character stealthily glowed in the dark the whole time only added to the comedic effect. I think I used a conversion mod though, with major rebalances in skills and spells. Perkus maximus, was it? Quite recommend, only crashed my game when I tried to play as an arcane archer (i.e. the one with all kinds of magic arrows).

@@demomanchaos this is true, but they’re also good for whenever you’re stuck in prison and feel like going on a murder spree. A very niche situation to use them in, but the option is there. Specifically for a challenge run to only use bound weapons, could you do it? Obviously you could, but it would be fun i think Edit: to give a specific example of the whole “bounds weapons in prison” thing, they’re useful for one particular mission involving the forsworn in markarth, where you get thrown into the mine for life (or more accurately, till you escape). It is useful for when you have to kill a specific prisoner, or are just getting out.

Honestly i never really liked the conjurer weapons, i was like "if i wanted to use weapons i wouldn't be a mage goddamit"

[@gipsydangeramericasmonster9632]

@@Jynx9921 they do come standard with soul trap. If you ever need to fill soul gems you can do it that way, though the magic to do so and the shout are far better

I thought he was gonna say ember charred instead but that was so mush funnier 😂

I’ve been killing that small bandit camp just outside Helges for years now for their map. Damn, like 10 years of killing those guys, good times.

Okay out of everything I watched on this video the hired thugs going up the mountain to The graybeards leader baffles me I have never since I started this game when it came out has never gotten this holy crap.

Before I watch this, yes it is possible. I beat the the main, mages college, dark brotherhood, dawnguard, and Dragonborn questlines only using flames because I didn’t know there were higher level spells

11:10 bro is that from sonic heroes? Damn it's been a minute since I thought of that game. Back in the days when the game cube was around

As someone with few hundred hours on this game and never once finished it, this video really tells me why. You'd think that during those 11 years the game's been out, all bugs would have been fixed already. Finally, I caved in and stopped being a vanilla gamer and installed some mods to fix these bugs and glitches... Maybe I'll finally be able to actually finish the game. All my playthroughs have been cut short by some bugs. Either I couldn't resolve them or I just completely lost my interest and quitted or started a new game... So shameful to leave all bug fixes to the modders.

Bethesda, their spaghetti code and ultimately? Laziness. "Oh well, the Modders will fix it."
