Can You Beat Skyrim With Poison "Only"?

Wait this isn't Dark Souls. Oh well, lets see what we can do with a couple of green bottles and some questionable personal hygiene then. Can you beat Skyrim with poison "only"? Yes. Should you try? No, don't be dumb.

I'm guessing from how much Baron struggled with later parts, he doesn't know that those really strong Fortify Restoration potions he could make will increase the damage of Poison Rune? Also, the Serpent Standing Stone gives a once a day poison blast power that deals some damage over time and paralyzes the target. Could have been useful for paralysis when you can't pickpocket (like with Miraak)

Technically, you could apply poisons to your weapon and still be poison-only, if you use the Ancestral Sword of Clan Ice-Blade from the Gray Cowl creation, which does 0 damage for some reason. But that may not have been as fun. Or maybe it'd be more fun. Depends on how fun you think standing next to someone with the Ebony Mail is.

[@CuchilloMucho]

@IvanLagayacrus he could have done the run glitchless, it's all just arbitrary rulings anyway

[@Dmobley9901]

Seeing the Ebony Mail do so little damage made me wonder if it could be enhanced- I know that the fortify restoration glitch applies to almost all enchantments, it makes me wonder if you could boost the power of the poison with the potions- Or maybe fortify destruction potions would change the damage of it, since crafted destruction potions actually boost the damage of destruction magic- I might have to experiment with that when I regain my will to play Skyrim again.

[@Veaug]

I think poison is restoration magic

[@Dmobley9901]

@@Veaug It technically is, but it's weird- A lot of things in the game are secretly restoration somehow. Mainly I don't know if drinking a restoration potion would enhance the poison done by the mail, I think it would since the poison is BOTH restoration and an enchantment, and most enchantments are actually boosted by fortify restoration, but the game can behave in unpredictable ways, especially with unique items like one of a kind armor or weapons when using exploits, since these mechanics are unintended, they may not be consistent all the time. I've been exploiting Skyrim for over a decade at this point, and I still learn new things every time I do, so this might be an interesting experiment for someone to do.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

@@Veaug As someone who has been playing with a lot of mods lately, yes, poison is almost always restoration. There's exceptions here and there, and ultimately anyone can make anything they want into anything they want, but most poison effects are Restoration. As is Disease damage, for that matter. The Restoration Loop has little to do with enchanting in general, and more to do with Fortify Skill, which is still a Restoration effect as well. If you want to buff a Fire Damage effect, you need Fortify Destruction

The Staff of Paralysis that you can snag pretty easily even in early game from Snapleg Cave might fight in the repertoire here. Haven't really thought through if that would help out much more than what you can already accomplish with the Paralysis potions you brew, but it might be useful. I like to grab it and use it to paralyze trainers so I can pickpocket my money back without save-cheating, and simply making it possible at all when you're training high levels that involve amounts of gold that are high enough that the pickpocket probability is always 0%. It's a life-saver as a backup for when a battlle goes south unexpectedly if playing normally, whatever that means, lololol.
