Discussion: The Grimoire Challenge

  • September 6, 2018

    You haven't experienced the joy of Skyrim until you start fighting dragons on Master difficulty while doing this challenge and living!  :-)

     

    My heart still pounds when I think of that dragon dropping out of the sky right in front of me.  I'm also not crazy enough to try it on Legendary...yet.  Ok, off to continue planning my backstory and build path with my enigmatic and slightly insane kleptomaniacal Dunmer named Sul Nerano before subjecting him to this challenge!

    It isn't, but I just prefer Expert. Better balance. And  I can be more creative.

    I'm typically terrified to dip my toe out of Adept. Nice, safe Adept, where I only have to fear swarms of enemies or bullcrap like high level vampires...

    Part of the appeal to me is getting out of my comfort zone after having played this game off and on for about 6 years. :P

    It's not that I shirk from difficulty. I mean, I've played endgame Requiem, I've done all that shit. 

    So if I do this challenge, it'll be probably on Expert, but with novice spells and I'll keep the skills to three or less. That'll be a challenge. But I need to finish my FO build first.

    I wasn't implying that you were worried about difficulty. I was saying that was why I was doing it. I'm pretty bad at video games as a whole, even though I enjoy them. I watched a couple of videos on Requiem and left it completely alone because it looked positively punishing. I do not use Wild Cat or Smilodon, and when playing melee I invariably grab a two-handed weapon because that way I can stagger and cleave for the sake of my survival.

    As my friend's neice often says, you do you, Booboo.

    My character, Farir, is now level 19, and he's only been through one dungeon. The rest has been training at the college. He's now passed his adept trials for Restoration, Illusion, and Alteration. Destruction and Conjuration are taking their time, but they'll get there eventually.

    When meditating recently, Farir began to channel novice spells intuitively, without feeling so much as a wrinkle his reserves. His researches have also uncovered a lost arcane library near the college, as well as a number of shrines throughout the province. It will be time to leave again soon.

    What is so cool in Bruma that everyone is ready to risk their lives to get there?))))

    My nostalgia for Oblivion. Also there are different clothes in Bruma.

    I did post a screenshot of him.

    I was just poking a little fun at kitty since he spent most of the time hiding behind furniture while Serana and atro's killed stuff.

    Ah, indeed, he did. He was a very cowardly Khajiit. One just can't resist the urge to hide behind things when one is 4 feet tall.

    Sadly, Sul Nerano died after his head encountered the jaws of a cave bear.  He now joins his Dunmer ancestors after achieving a mere level 9.
