gotta frick with the settings if i ever play that save again
The scaling in Skyrim is so whack that everything is powerful. It usually doesn't matter because normal difficulty is actually journalist mode and nothing you do matters from start to finish, but once you crank it up to legendary things get pretty fricky.
this is why you only play on master mode
it's the rule of all fps games honestly
play on one lower than the hardest because it's always bullshit except rare exceptions
>play on one lower than the hardest because it's always bullshit except rare exceptions
master is the same as legendary, though. the break the game threshold just comes sooner.
>master is the same
it's literally the original hardest skill setting and does not require you to attack the same enemy 20 times instead
legendary requires you to be a minmax homosexual
It cuts your damage by half and doubles enemy damage. Legendary quarters and triples respectively. That is the only difference. You still completely outpace the game by like level 20, it's just adding tedium. Crafting is still useless and just makes the game harder. Attributes are still completely useless and perks are still the only thing that matters because it's been homogenized with nu-fallout. Mudcrabs still scale to punch your dick off. It's the same, it's just a tedium slider.

yeah this is kinda why skyrim is a bad roleplaying game. every ES is broken but skyrim is broken in a way your actions don't matter any more. being a super wizard in daggerfall or morrowind feels pretty damn wizardly, not really the case here or oblivion.

Even if we go by encounters, Morrowind actually does try to make difficult fights when you reach god mode. An example is the Telvanni Guards, which repeatedly summon bonewalkers that drain your endurance by 20 points every time they hit you while the guard sits back and throws fireballs that do half your health while you are stuck there. In practice this does not matter because you can kill everything in one hit anyways, but the attempt is there and its more curated and has more flavor than just having an enemy hit really hard.

I mean that's a problem with the game itself rather than the slider but despite that if you lower it anymore then the game becomes piss easy all the way through rather than somewhat hard to start then you become a god over time

He's asking for a game which is not designed to disengage the brain like he is watching a television show. We can look at studies that show brain activity and the developement of neural pathways while reading versus watching television and objectively conclude that they are very different activities. Morrowind is a game that stimulates imagination and creativity, Skyrim is not. There is a reason why reading significantly reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s in old age while television significantly increases susceptibility to neurodegenerative disorders. When you are playing a game like Skyrim you are restructuring your brain to be that of a simple animal. This is going beyond difficulty. These are two very different forms of escapism.

I'm not even suggesting that Bethesda make a good game. I am merely requesting they make one that does not literally give it's core audience brain damage. Surely Todd loves and cares about his loyal fanbase and does not want to hurt them.

>instead of choosing to read the books ingame whenever you want
This segways into another problem. A significant portion of books in Skyrim are imported from previous games and many are not relevant to that particular setting. Part of what made books so interesting in previous games is that they were directly related to what was happening, so it'd be like walking around Middle-Earth while reading The Silmarillion. Skyrim still has this, but it is extremely diluted. I think most Skyrim players don't read the books.

Skyrim has a decent amount of reactivity, chances are you have a ton of stuff that you have never heard or seen during your playthroughs.
Wait frick, I only just realized he means he got married
Nope, Pagliarulo (who wrote the said line) confirmed that it has nothing to do with marriage. "Arrow in the knee" is meant to be taken literally.
>he's not even smart enough to take credit for a semi-clever interpretation anyway
I hate everything about Emil.
Would you rather he have lied?
The only thing he did well was the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion, and it was apparently by accident.
he also made the arena "quests" but he never seems to talk about that one
>gays think your work is le deeper than it actually it
>tell them they are wrong and moronic
Based. I hate people who look way into certain things
this. silent hill 2 gays are a good example of this
Truly the man you want to see as the Lead Designer of Starfield.
>This made people in 2011 shit their pants in pure ecstasy
It literally did too.
I heard they're reforming the dawnguard...
Vampire hunters or something, in the old fort near Riften. Might consider joining up myself.
BAZINGA
Why are guards in Skyrim so strong? They're harder to kill than trolls.

...You can also read the lore books in Skyrim?
Read the reply chain. (if you can)
don't forget the creature mods
bruh
They used to be an adventurer like you, then they took an arrow in the knee.
NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE
*should of
>I used to be an adventurer like you, then I- MHMFFMMMMM!?
No e-girlgagging
CARLOOOOOOOOOUUUUUHHHHHS
Gray-Mane or Battle-Born?
>Gray Mane
Dragonborn?
You're not supposed to be in here.
>takes arrow to the dick
>"is someone there?"
FYI this line is a reference to the name of the wind which was published a few years before Skyrim released
Does Todd know what I've been up to? Is he watching me right now?
>Is that fur coming out of your ears?
no shit moron im a cat
i never heard this line in almost a decade
are there more unique lines for other races? I know there's some dialogue for Argonians

Can you buy a house in Morrowind? I need somewhere to unload all my shit.
Yeah but they are locked behind long questlines. There are work arounds but you are better off googling.
If an npc lives alone you can murder them with no consequences and live in their house.
This is untrue, as storing items in a NPC owned container flags them as stolen. (storing them on a corpse doesn't though)
I think I have a mod that removed this quote as I haven't heard it once during my second playthrough of this game.
that reminds me of the butthurt when the game came out and everyone memed the quote
