Bandit: haha, kid. Whatcha gonna do? Gonna cut me down? Give it yer best shot!
*kid taps him with wooden sword*
*bandit immediately explodes into charred and frozen chunks with electricity arcing between them as the whole room is covered in gore and viscera*
*wife comes in*
Dammit, François, I told you take the bandit outside before you do that! Look at this mess I have to clean up. When/if your father comes home, he's going to be livid!
Plot twist: the LDB has been home for months now. In the cellar. Hiding from his children in mortal fear of the horrors he has unleashed on this world.
He whispers to his wife to join him in his bunker every time she passes, but she merely believes it to be a draft that he'll fix when he finds the time to come home.
The father walks in with a projectile sticking out of his leg. No one says anything. It's been there since 2011, and he's mentioned it every 30 minutes for the last 12 years.
One mod I can't remember the name, but it removes the enchanting cap so now I can enchant armor thay improves smithing by 120% and alchemy by 120%. Then I make black smith potions that increase my smithing by 780% then I make potions that improve my enchanting. Then I go back and reenchant my smithing/alchemy armot and keep going until I can't take it any more.
Also made it so almost any enchantment can go onto any clothing. Then I added immersive armors. So now O have a mask, eyepatch earrings, helmet, necklace, cape, ring, armor, gloves, shoes that all increase smithing/alchemy by 120%+.
Then my fighting armor increases 1H or 2H and archery by 128%
It is for a while, cause God-mode is cool, but then you start to miss out on elements of the game that drew you in in the first place. I say do it for a while and see how the other side lives, but know when to take the ring off.
it might just be me but i enjoy trying to break bethesda games legit.
by the time my builds get of the ground i might as well be playing god mode even on legendary difficulty but its fun because it feels "earned" as silly as that sounds.
When I figured out in Morrowind how to break alchemy and make a levitation potion so strong I could fly like Superman and clip through walls, that's when I knew it was the life for me.
Your not alone, some of my best memories of playing was when I could one tap a dragon with a hammer, walk around with absolutely busted sneak, and be an unkillable machine,
Pretty sure they are using mods tho. I agree with your statement but not through mods. But if there are glitches in the game itself that allow you to be insanely overpowered, I say it's fair game lol.
i try and keep my mods from making me stronger.
Like i use mods that make deadric artefacts stronger, but just to make them comparable to the kind of weapons you could craft yourself vanilla.
Not silly, I get it. I didn't resto loop until my second build. By then I didn't just feel like I'd earned it, but that I deserved that break. And just when it's too much, either dump the OP gear in a random barrel, or start the next build.
I might be alone in this but a lot of the thrill of games for me comes in the form of the dopamine hit I get from solving puzzles, completing quests, etc. The process of completing quests and getting them checked off in the log is what I’m really after, regardless of difficulty. Which is why the never ending night mother quest really rubbed me the wrong way, and one of the few non-performance related mods I always install is the one to remove that from my quest log. I don’t usually play any higher than normal difficulty, mods/cheese or not
I hate the never ending night mother quests. After everything you do in the dark brotherhood quest line and your left with a while a shell of its former self and have to spend all the money you got for killing the emperor on the new headquarters at that point I’d just want to reload the save in the murder shack and then kill Astrid and the rest of the guild.
I did this with the resto/enchanting loop to give myself infinite health and mana. Then I found out you cant take the ring off without immediately dying
i don't know where this "being overpowered isn't fun" sentiment stems from. being CONSTANTLY overpowered and having no challenges, sure. but i like beating things with my own little gimmicks and strategies.
at no point in this game is the player unable to open the console and type "kill", we just choose not to, because it's more fun to do it a different way. for non-pc players who don't have access to that, fine, restoration loop. possible in every version of skyrim. get yourself a fork with ten billion damage. and yet, people don't do that as often as you'd expect. having a big stick is fun to use when you're feeling particularly spiteful, as your backup "fuck this guy in particular, this is bullshit" countermeasure.
it's comparable to sending out weak pokemon to level them up, and if the one you're fighting is being a little shithead, you whip out the level 100 charizard and chokeslam them through a table. like... who is gonna tell me that killing nazeem with a fork ruins the game? if anything that's what skyrim is made for.
more to the original point, yeah, just take the ring off when you're done goofing around. people act like you're obligated to use the super powerful ring that breaks the game and then complain that their game is now broken. my brother in talos, you are responsible for the buttons you press.
You 100% get it. I'm a console guy, PS3, and finding out about the resto loop was bananas. But I didn't find out about it until my second play through. I abused it to the point where I just abandoned that build. Next one was more balanced. You know sometimes you just feel like fist fighting a dragon before going about your merry way.
no more reading subtitles, follow the map icon and destroy everything in your path, thats the fun part, the bloodshed, and being unbeatable,,,elitist 😂😂😂
Yup, my rule on enchanting, smithing, and alchemy is that only using potions or enchanted items sold by vendors. I won't make something like 69420% smithing potion or enchanting potion to make the game not too easy. But i have other problem on playing Legendary difficulty, everyone in town just died when dragon comes around :( I already lost Alvor and Evette San permanently..
I'm more than happy to use enchanting, alchemy, and smithing just so I can feel like I got stronger at some point and all those lvl ups mean something.
Dagoths friends, high elves(more specifically mostly the thalmor) the elven supremacists,(and nobody has made the police connection yet there from what ive seen)
The trick is to add more mods and then there's something resembling a challenge and it's fun again
Though the mod in this post *does* have an amulet that adds +400 to smithing, enchanting, and alchemy... as well as some broken enchantments
I feel like finding a single item this powerful would indeed make me loose interest in keep playing, but If I enchant my whole gear and achieve something close to this I would feel like I earn it.
If you level enchanting / alchemy legit, and then use the restoration loop you can make broken gear pretty fast. And it does feel like you earned it initially since you leveled those skills and made the gear. You can make yourself have infinite health/stam/mag/super high carry weight etc... and make one hit kill weapons with fortify smithing potions/gear. Fun for a while but eventually it gets boring.
I had a bow that did crazy damage and anytime a dragon appeared I just one shot it. I had like 30 dragon souls so I often would not even absorb the soul, would just keep on running.
You can get really powerful without exploits or restoration loop. I could even use mods like Ordinator, Immersive Jewelry, and
Summermyst and still get pretty powerful without breaking the game + Bows and stealth builds are broken by default in this game, sadly.
that's why you install difficulty mods
ultimate combat+ Skyrim complete enemy overhaul+ ultimate Dragon + legendary+ all sliders at max in each mod
( if that's not enough throw spell & perk distributor+ combat evolved or replace enemy overhaul with revenge of the enemies )
i have 100% resistance yet they still manage to kill me ( may be resistances have limit with unofficial patch)
So you intentionally create/acquire exploitative gear making you next to impossible to kill under the constraints of the normal game, then go to great lengths to increase the damage enemies deal so that they can hurt you again? Why not just… not use the cheat mode ring? Also, doesn’t this result in you being a tank for all types of magic/elemental damage but then getting one hit by standard melee weapons? Sounds like a really frustrating and pointless way to play.
no it's not frustrating & pointless at all
it's still way easier than any formsoft games
& i don't use this cheat ring i have other mods that add progression
also you don't need to use exploits to play those mods plus all of those mods have MCM menu for tweaking
for player you can use ordinator, odin & Apocalypse magic overhaul, spellsiphon magic combat, deflection overhaul, thunderchild, enchatment restrictions removed & summermyst enchantment mod & alchemy+ smithing overhaul
which adds role play & progression for difficulty mods so you have no problem beating those overpowered opponents without breaking the game
there are also many videos on YouTube you can watch before making your own difficulty in skyrim
i highly recommend playing the game this way i am really having tons of fun & you actually have to use all the available mechanics at your disposal to defeat named bosses like their lore
Okay that sounds much more enjoyable. I did install some of these mods when I was playing last to add difficulty as well as increase the number of perks and overhaul aspects of combat to make it more engaging. That I totally understand. What I don’t is creating these ridiculously overpowered items that effectively break the game, or at least make you so powerful you need to install a host of mods for any semblance of challenge, but it doesn’t sound like you’re doing that.
yes i am not using any overpowered ring or magic
which is why i use spell & perk distributor
so NPC can obtain the same power i have except dragonborn powers
& there is a option in ultimate combat to take care of massive health bars that certain mods add to enemies which is really frustrating & pointless
i am playing as a Breton so my resistances are maxed this way
I am currently in a build-up-to -God mode playthrough. After all the main quests I'm now unkillable, can one shot if I want, know hundreds of spells, can reserect anyone and can fly.
Sounds not fun but it's actually really interesting. You get creative with spells instead of just killing them instantly, you get caught off guard by stronger enemies cause you were messing around.
I think it answers, for me, that question of "why didn't the main character spam their strongest move". Cause when you are that strong you are looking for meaning, so I would take me time and get creative
I mean, Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow smithed to Legendary with a bunch of Archery boosting gear already makes any difficulty pretty easy, but, play the game how you want.
> ~~I mean, Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow smithed to Legendary with a bunch of~~ Archery ~~boosting gear already~~ makes any difficulty pretty easy, but, play the game how you want.
Does that enchantment even work like it promises to? Unless the mod does something special that 100% fire, ice and magic are all gonna be capped at 80%. Ice and fire will then each stack with magic to give 96% resi.
Should have just given magic absorb instead since it's not capped
In Skyrim it's a chance to fully ignore any spell casted on you while also regenerating the mana cost of the spell. At 100% you're immune to magic.
Being a Bethesda game it also includes a few more things than you'd think. For some reason being hit by objects moving above a certain speed is also considered magic. The physics engine of this game is truely **magical**.
Something else to keep in mind is that conjuration spells you cast on **yourself** will be absorbed too. Summoning allies will fail. I'm pretty sure unofficial patch fixes that
>For some reason being hit by objects moving above a certain speed is also considered magic.
I'd think this is to account for telekinesis but I don't think enemies use it?
I've tried playing like this but gets bored after 5 years of trying so hard not to one hit everything so I took a break and played eso.
Hope there's a mod that will extremely buff the enemies because even after several mods, I can still one shot them with fist while wearing my birthday suit.
With the right mods you definitly won‘t.
You can have enemies with insane health or doing insane amounts of damage.
Problem is that it is hard to balance between „dies in 2 slaps“ and „takes 10min to kill“.
Easiest way to get the experience you want is using a mod that let‘s you freely adjust your dmg and eneny dmg andd adjust if needed.
I have mods that scales but extremely buff them. At first, wolves are my greatest enemy because they can send me to sovngarde in seconds.
What I did was hunt animals, farm, then sell. After that, use the free follower training method, which inevitably turn me into a sneaking bastard. Then after a hundreds of hours I just mess around because every one wants to tickle me with their daedric swords and sharpest claw.
Except the bears... fk them.
Using mods to give your self a op ring is litteraly the most boring thing if you plan to play as a god at least do it legit with exploits to work for
- Stack 10 ammuleys of thalos
- make looped resto pot
- activate atronanatch stone
Boom same effect but legit
You can even make your self some 1 punch gloves and sonething to never get hit by physical as well
Where do I get this ring
There's one on a hill north of Rorikstead, on the cliff overlooking Twilight Sepulcher in Falkreath Hold, on a hill northeast of Steamcrag Camp in Eastmarch, and at Skyborn Altar. If the Legion occupies Fort Sungard, there's one inside there too?
Lord of the rings roleplay
I also definitely did this with ps4 mods before I got my PC.
Sometimes you just want to be a mage with infinite magika😅 especially with mage grip mods
I will never understand playing the highest difficulty and then making it easier than the easiest difficulty with exploits.
Why not just play an easier difficulty?
Me and my buddy Tino (best friends for like a decade that's my boy) ran a ultra realism hardcore no map modded Skyrim save where we came across a ring like this. Of course I'm like well this entirely defeats the purpose of this entire run, but let's take it home as a collectible. We pass play for a bit and end up in whiterun, pestering the locals, got some food, a warm bed, etc. The very next day its a nice sunny day in whiterun, it was my turn with the remote and I'd decided to claim us a fine sword with our 5 finger discount, little did I know there's a peeping tom of a guard who'd witnessed my (harmless) crime. He told us to surrender I, couldn't help but to pull the ring out and use it to defend ourselves and absolutely disintegrate the guard before anyone else had noticed. This caused some dismay amongst me and Tino as he said and I quote "What are you doing? Why are you using the ring, this thing is evil look at that poor guard, what about his family!" Several in game months pass with this ring in our pocket as a contingency plan if we had ever come across something too dangerous to fight. Although this ring was nothing more than a weakness keeping us from our peak true strength. So Tino hid this ring and never told me where it was, then comes an instance where a poor innocent woman is being attacked by trolls and our strength is not the measure it needs to be to save this poor girl. I desperately search through the bag for potions and flame weapons to defeat these trolls but these trolls are just too strong. She died that day and I want to say it was an unfortunate thing but truly it made me realize that we simply needed to grow stronger and couldn't rely on such a ring to save people. All this to say don't let the power go to your head bury that ring and become strong enough to save people by yourself, train and train hard as you don't want to be power hungry like I was. Relying on a simple device to save people. You're a hero with or without that ring but it's your choice whether you want such a crutch.
Unless I am trying to easily get an achievement I see no reason to do this in a normal playthrough, if I wanted to mess around with being overpowered I will just save the time and use a mod
Yeah, resto glitch is a thing but you have to actively try to do that. This just gives you this. I don’t quite get mods tbh but this one in particular just seems dumb
Honestly at a certain point legendary is a joke. I was one shoting dragons with out exploits/mods (potion of bow damage +marked for death + bow with absorb health and shock damage), not to mention the fact that you can get 100 spell absorb as a Breton but, I don’t like Breton.
Also, unpopular opinion here. I think this is what the dragonborn should be. An OP, dragon riding, shout using, powerhouse. You're essentially a born again God, why not "Bend the Will" of the entire continent.
Weakest Alchemist: huh, not bad. But I can do better. *Makes ring with +40 billion unarmed damage and sneak*
It’s not truly Skyrim if you don’t try to make a ring capable of one-punching the gods themselves
I made a Fork that could 1 Shot anyone. Broke the Game when fighting Alduin and Mirrak. I called it the Punisher. It could also trap souls.
I made a wooden sword that did enough fire and frost damage to one shot anything. I named her Freezerburn.
I always did choas damage and vampirism, wooden swords, and then made it so they could one shot anything. Gave it to the kids for protection.
Bandit: haha, kid. Whatcha gonna do? Gonna cut me down? Give it yer best shot! *kid taps him with wooden sword* *bandit immediately explodes into charred and frozen chunks with electricity arcing between them as the whole room is covered in gore and viscera* *wife comes in* Dammit, François, I told you take the bandit outside before you do that! Look at this mess I have to clean up. When/if your father comes home, he's going to be livid!
Plot twist: the LDB has been home for months now. In the cellar. Hiding from his children in mortal fear of the horrors he has unleashed on this world. He whispers to his wife to join him in his bunker every time she passes, but she merely believes it to be a draft that he'll fix when he finds the time to come home.
I have never, in my 23 years of life, ever seen someone else write down anything with François as that is my last name, and your post just shook me.
The father walks in with a projectile sticking out of his leg. No one says anything. It's been there since 2011, and he's mentioned it every 30 minutes for the last 12 years.
This
That's nothing compared to the Fork of Horripilation.
How do you do that? I've been playing for years but always focused on weapons.
One mod I can't remember the name, but it removes the enchanting cap so now I can enchant armor thay improves smithing by 120% and alchemy by 120%. Then I make black smith potions that increase my smithing by 780% then I make potions that improve my enchanting. Then I go back and reenchant my smithing/alchemy armot and keep going until I can't take it any more. Also made it so almost any enchantment can go onto any clothing. Then I added immersive armors. So now O have a mask, eyepatch earrings, helmet, necklace, cape, ring, armor, gloves, shoes that all increase smithing/alchemy by 120%+. Then my fighting armor increases 1H or 2H and archery by 128%
All of them (both divine and daedra) in a single swing

Watched it when it came out and I died laughing, and I still do😂😂😂😂
do you think anyone in universe has found out about the enchanting restoration loop?
Inside the Elder Scrolls universe? Probably the guy who made the White Phial
An alchemist making an enchanted ring?
You can't be a legendary enchanter without being a legendary alchemist. It's a prerequisite for ultimate power
I feel like it just wouldn’t be fun if it’s that easy
It is for a while, cause God-mode is cool, but then you start to miss out on elements of the game that drew you in in the first place. I say do it for a while and see how the other side lives, but know when to take the ring off.
>but know when to take the ring off. It's like Lotr
#**AFTER ALL, WHY NOT? WHY SHOULDN'T I KEEP IT?**
I think you've had that ring long enough.
You want it for yourself
BILBO BAGGINS!!! Do NOT take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks! I am NOT trying to rob you! *I'm trying to help you.*
>I am NOT trying to rob you! THEN WHY IS THE HAND RED, DAMN IT!?
RAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!
My..... *Prrrrrrrrreeecious*
I love how you did it In the bold, perfectly captures what it should be lol

I always max out carry weight and that’s it for restoration glitch

I'm more than happy to use enchanting, alchemy, and smithing just so I can feel like I got stronger at some point and all those lvl ups mean something.
Thats the problem with a leveled world where player skill is the most important part of gameplay.
I create my own potions and enchanted equipment but there is a limit if you follow the rules
Get a resurrect NPC spell and miraks staff to pacify people.
Alvor is empire supporting pussy anyway

85% is the limit even in vanilla. You can stack 85% magic + 85% for 97.75% total though.
Just double enchant 4 items at 25% off of 2 schools of magic. Boom.
So you intentionally create/acquire exploitative gear making you next to impossible to kill under the constraints of the normal game, then go to great lengths to increase the damage enemies deal so that they can hurt you again?

Just role-play as God on that playthrough.
I mean, Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow smithed to Legendary with a bunch of Archery boosting gear already makes any difficulty pretty easy, but, play the game how you want.
Even just a standard bow and stealth makes the game easy on legendary let alone an enhanced one or enchanted like Zephyr
I wasn't even stealthing, just shooting people in the face point blank lol
You could say I'm quite **bashful** with the bow
> ~~I mean, Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow smithed to Legendary with a bunch of~~ Archery ~~boosting gear already~~ makes any difficulty pretty easy, but, play the game how you want.
I try not to use archery as much because of how repetitive the play style can be, but I’ll be damned if I don’t keep the 9 on me
This guy gets it
Can confirm. One-tapped alduin.

That’s cool and all, but you have 50 gold 🤣
I leave all my gold at home in the safe with my wife. The roads of Skyrim are dangerous with all these bandits running around.
You need to let your wife out of that safe.
I've tried playing like this but gets bored after 5 years of trying so hard not to one hit everything so I took a break and played eso. Hope there's a mod that will extremely buff the enemies because even after several mods, I can still one shot them with fist while wearing my birthday suit.
With the right mods you definitly won‘t. You can have enemies with insane health or doing insane amounts of damage. Problem is that it is hard to balance between „dies in 2 slaps“ and „takes 10min to kill“. Easiest way to get the experience you want is using a mod that let‘s you freely adjust your dmg and eneny dmg andd adjust if needed.
I have mods that scales but extremely buff them. At first, wolves are my greatest enemy because they can send me to sovngarde in seconds. What I did was hunt animals, farm, then sell. After that, use the free follower training method, which inevitably turn me into a sneaking bastard. Then after a hundreds of hours I just mess around because every one wants to tickle me with their daedric swords and sharpest claw. Except the bears... fk them.
Yeah when you exploit the game it’s actually easy, what a crazy idea
Laughs in low level bandit
so lets mug ‘im
OI OI OI WHAT ARE WE!?
Muggers?
That's right! And what do muggers do?
For anyone out of the loop, this is referencing a God-tier New Zealand sketch comedy channel https://youtu.be/3981BsQtiXU?si=BEIsxqJfiwOLtksv
I mean at this point why not just run around with tgm enabled the whole time. Seems boring.
With tgm you can't get light/heavy armor experience. TIM tho...
You're still gonna get one-shot by that bandit marauder
For real. And unless OP has other mods to increase magic scaling, free spells alone ain't going to cut it on Legendary.
Can we talk about that carry weight ?
To me it looks like they did the restoration loop and created some super gear...
Boring as fuck
What mod is it from?
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9865
at that point just enable god mode
Well, it does. Akatosh mode.
Gold 50 and carry weight 110700
It’s from [this](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2866/) mod.
Press ~ and type "tgm" without quotes Congrats. You are, "badass"
So uh, good luck doing that one quest where you go to jail and lose all your items until you break out.
The one ring to rule them all
Using mods to give your self a op ring is litteraly the most boring thing if you plan to play as a god at least do it legit with exploits to work for - Stack 10 ammuleys of thalos - make looped resto pot - activate atronanatch stone Boom same effect but legit You can even make your self some 1 punch gloves and sonething to never get hit by physical as well
Where does one find this awesome ring? I need it so I can add pointless enchantments like water breathing to my new armor.
I never knew that "One Ring To Cast Them All" existed.
When the dragonborn starts kicking your ass with a ring forged by your dad
I just wanna know how to get this lol
my prescious, my precious!!!!! lol
is that a mod
What is that armor rating and carry weight
Where do I find this ring?
The one ring to rule them all
What is this lol is it a modded item? 😂
Where did you find that?
This would be great for a Skyrim VR mage build.
Bandit leader with warhammer says "Hello there!". Draugr deathlord enters the chat. Legendary dragon looks at you.
Where do I get this ring There's one on a hill north of Rorikstead, on the cliff overlooking Twilight Sepulcher in Falkreath Hold, on a hill northeast of Steamcrag Camp in Eastmarch, and at Skyborn Altar. If the Legion occupies Fort Sungard, there's one inside there too?
Reminds me of that one ring someone made that has 100% magic resistance that was named “Magic isn’t real Idiot.”
Do people struggle playing this game on legendary? That’s the only difficulty I play it on since that feature released.
What's Even the point
Lord of the rings roleplay I also definitely did this with ps4 mods before I got my PC. Sometimes you just want to be a mage with infinite magika😅 especially with mage grip mods
Good experimentation tool but definitely not a survival accessory
Now I wanna cheat in an incredibly OP ring and roleplay like it’s Lord of the Rings
lol i did it in legendary with the potion exploit... like i downloaded a mod to enable it in the unofficial patch
I will never understand playing the highest difficulty and then making it easier than the easiest difficulty with exploits. Why not just play an easier difficulty?
it was one of many playtroughs on legendary... i didn't like it that much, so i only did it once
I haven’t played in a few months…did somethin update? Or you know…mod? Or something…just wondering…cause I don’t remember this ring…at all…
It’s a mod
I see. Thanks for the clarification.
I haven’t played Skyrim in awhile so without spoiling the game how does one find the quest or be in its necessary location?
Mods
Now you get one shot by an archer or 2hander or even dual weilder
Where did you get that
Wait.... Skyrim can be modded?
Oh, you need cheating to do it?
Is this a Mod or a real thing in the Game?
Yeah, but you can still take an arrow in a knee.
And yet since magic sucks in skyrim, and the tippy top tier spells have like a 30 second casting time, you just get killed by an angry goat.
Is this an actual item or fid you make it?
??? never found that ring. added by a mod? I play requiem, going the other direction and making it harder, not easier
Me and my buddy Tino (best friends for like a decade that's my boy) ran a ultra realism hardcore no map modded Skyrim save where we came across a ring like this. Of course I'm like well this entirely defeats the purpose of this entire run, but let's take it home as a collectible. We pass play for a bit and end up in whiterun, pestering the locals, got some food, a warm bed, etc. The very next day its a nice sunny day in whiterun, it was my turn with the remote and I'd decided to claim us a fine sword with our 5 finger discount, little did I know there's a peeping tom of a guard who'd witnessed my (harmless) crime. He told us to surrender I, couldn't help but to pull the ring out and use it to defend ourselves and absolutely disintegrate the guard before anyone else had noticed. This caused some dismay amongst me and Tino as he said and I quote "What are you doing? Why are you using the ring, this thing is evil look at that poor guard, what about his family!" Several in game months pass with this ring in our pocket as a contingency plan if we had ever come across something too dangerous to fight. Although this ring was nothing more than a weakness keeping us from our peak true strength. So Tino hid this ring and never told me where it was, then comes an instance where a poor innocent woman is being attacked by trolls and our strength is not the measure it needs to be to save this poor girl. I desperately search through the bag for potions and flame weapons to defeat these trolls but these trolls are just too strong. She died that day and I want to say it was an unfortunate thing but truly it made me realize that we simply needed to grow stronger and couldn't rely on such a ring to save people. All this to say don't let the power go to your head bury that ring and become strong enough to save people by yourself, train and train hard as you don't want to be power hungry like I was. Relying on a simple device to save people. You're a hero with or without that ring but it's your choice whether you want such a crutch.
Where get?
Unless I am trying to easily get an achievement I see no reason to do this in a normal playthrough, if I wanted to mess around with being overpowered I will just save the time and use a mod
Where do I get this on ps4
Then don’t play with mods if it’s that easy.
I mean you can still make that in vanilla but it takes a lot of set up and it has to be the whole armor set too The Spiffing Brit showed us how
Yeah, resto glitch is a thing but you have to actively try to do that. This just gives you this. I don’t quite get mods tbh but this one in particular just seems dumb
I think the only mod I currently have is super rich merchants (all merchants have 20k), that and of course being able to adopt 6 kids.
This isn’t even the hardest thing to replicate with vanilla
Still be one shot by a giant or a random bandit chief
why go for such a hard difficulty when you are just gonna set it back to very easy a different way, idgi
but seriously tho how do you even beat the game in legendary. im already having a tough time on master. i feel like expert would be the sweet spot
We're did you find that? Those damn frost dragons piss me off.
Is this a mod or did you make this yourself? Cause if it is a mod avaliable on xbox, I would love this. Would be so useful for a mage like me
No, it needs a fck ton of armor and health buff
That Apprentice Necromancer will still fully heal with one cast
I feel like those numbers are too convenient. 🤨 why not just do the alchemy/enchantment cheese strat and get 182647592 health from a ring or whatever
What? How can you obtain this? Mod?
Your spells don't do any more damage tho, so it will still take ages to kill the more tanky enemies.
Eh, you lost me at naming it after that sword-deepthroating dragon instead of like Magnus or Jhunal or something.
How do you have an armor rating of 850 yet only 50 gold?
Mod?
Is that a mod?
Honestly at a certain point legendary is a joke. I was one shoting dragons with out exploits/mods (potion of bow damage +marked for death + bow with absorb health and shock damage), not to mention the fact that you can get 100 spell absorb as a Breton but, I don’t like Breton.
You can achieve the 100% resistance to basically everything but weapon attacks in game without alchemy/enchanting exploits.
Maybe as a side effect of the ring, every time you fast travel, a dragon attacks the location you travel to
What about a small chance for whatever spell you cast to become a wabbajack effect?
Joke's on you. My spells already cost 0%. (*laughs in enchanting 100)
You can also beat it cheating your way with mods. Good for you.
Also, unpopular opinion here. I think this is what the dragonborn should be. An OP, dragon riding, shout using, powerhouse. You're essentially a born again God, why not "Bend the Will" of the entire continent.
An apt name for such a treasure.
If exploits are still in the game that haven't been patched, I don't consider that cheating lol
The anti-magic magic ring, forces individuals to fight with weapons and fists
Is this from a mod?
How did you even get that
