The Elder Scrolls

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Skyrim is baby shit compared to Morrowind and even Oblivion. Skyrim didn't have reflect as an armor effect and the only source of spell absorption was the atronach stone and miraak's robes iirc.
There's also an Alteration perk. And Spellbreaker iirc.

There's an exploit to get 100% spell absorbtion where you take the Restoration perk that makes spell effects more effective against undead, while you're a vampire, thus making the spell absorbtion effect more effective when it's applied to you because Bethesda. It's actually a crazy broken build because:
- practically every source of damage that isn't strictly physical is coded as a spell effect, as are most debuffs, and 100% spell absorbtion negates all of it
- the way summon spells are coded, they technically target the player, and thus 100% spell absorbtion causes them to fail, returning the spent magica... twice. So you can no longer summon, but summon spells essentially become infinite free magica. You can just spam them in one hand to refill your magica while single casting whatever else in the other hand.

So basically you're invulnerable to anything that isn't melee or arrows and you have infinite magica, passively, bare assed. I decided to see how far I could take a deprived build with it and ended up beating the DLCs naked with nothing in my inventory but gold and one lockpick.

Still not as broken as the Morrowind Soul Trap glitch.
 
Complete the quest "The Book of Love". It starts in the Temple of Mara in Riften. Literally just walking, no combat required, and you'll finish with the Agent of Mara ability (permanent +15% to MR).

As @Asian tech support pointed out, you can also go to the Lord's Stone and get +25% on top of that.
So that's +40% from those two things, plus a Breton's natural 25% for a total of... 65%? God damn.
 
NeverKnowsBest calls out PatricianTV
No idea who that is but I can tell he's a faggot if he's getting buttmad over a shitty patrician video.

Can necromage also crank spell granted armor effects over the cap?

Honestly I wish TES6 wasn't going to be a thing at all, I'd really rather avoid the pain of watching this franchise crash and burn even if it meant no more games from it.

This is why I hope Bethesda continues to take their sweet time with it. The longer I have to wait, the more time wokeshit has to fizzle out (I'll take those rainbows now).

I know the common consensus is the game wil take place in Hammerfall (though truthfully I haven't seen much evidence for this being the case), but where would you set your dream Elder Scrolls 6? I'd like to see Sommurset, after all the Thalmor intrigue in Skyrim being able to see what's going on in their home province would be interesting.

I'm not sure where the Hammerfell assumption came from either. What, because the thirty second teaser (presumably) showed Iliac Bay and it's the current year? That's a stretch. If TES6 is gonna be niggeraids, I'd rather it's the one that's full of niggers. What's double annoying is that memes aside, Redguards don't act like niggers but you know that Bethesda won't be able to help themselves and will 200% make them turbonogs if they indeed set the game in Hammerfell.

I hope they never touch Summerset or Black Marsh because they'll fuck it up forever. I don't really care about Hammerfell. It's one of the least interesting provinces.

It's the one that makes the most sense. Bethesda is too lazy or at this point unable to put in the effort required to make one set in the Mer provinces, already did Cyrodil, High Rock is out because they already did the whole province is in rebellion thing with Skyrim, and Skyrim's out because it was the setting in last game. That leaves Hammerfell. That the province is mostly barren desert and full of niggers only makes it more palatable to a Current Year+X developer.

I think they're too lazy and washed up to put the effort into even Hammerfell.

I almost don't even want them to attempt places like Black Marsh or Valenwood because I know they'll screw it up like they did with Cyrodiil. They'd probably even make up some garbage lore reason why the provinces don't remotely resemble how they're described in books or by various characters.
 
So the lolsiest races to play all games as
>Arena
Khajit because you're a lost kitty.
>Daggerfall
Redguard because where the Breton women at?
>Morrowind
Argonian for obvious reasons.
>Oblivion
Orc because deepest lore is Trinimac being shat out as Malacath with his followers rubbing their skin with it, the joke here being that you're a shit person becoming the closest thing you can be to an actual person.
>Skyrim
Any kind of elf but especially High for obvious reasons.

Redguard actually makes sense in Daggerfall if you want to do a melee build so you can repair your own shit. If you want true wtf get the Legacy of the Dragonborn mod and play as an Altmer. At the end of one of the main quests the avatar of Akatosh declares you're of the dragon bloodline. You also get the armor of Pelinal Whitestrake which makes killing N*rd trash during the civil war even funnier.

If I felt like they could do it justice, I'd want something more unconventional like Elsweyr or Black Marsh or even Akavir. But as Bethesda is right now, I don't trust them to do it in a good way and not ruin it. If that makes sense.

Didn't they already retcon the jungle parts out of Hammerfell?

That was the coolest area of Daggerfall since every house was just absolutely covered in vines. You also had no reason to go there since those regions weren't part of the main quest at all.

It was Cyrodil they retconned to not be a jungle biome. In Morrowind lorebooks the entire province was one, not just down by Leyawin, but then LotR was a huge thing during development and Todd decided Talos CHIM'd so hard that he transformed it to a generic fantasy forest with some transitional environments around the edges.

Why that excuse would make a difference in ESO, no clue what that ass-pull is.

IIRC, years ago, Bethesda or ZeniMax trademarked Hammerfell (or Redguard). Add in the more pronounced presence of Hammerfell and Redguards in Skyrim, and the teaser allegedly lining up to a part of the map for Hammerfell and bam! It’s totally Hammerfell you guys.

Personally, just let it die. They’re going to fuck it up badly.
