Hi Mike
I am playing on Xbox-so no mods at all. I tend towards "Battle Mage/Stealth" characters. Breton's for their magic resistance. I tried a Red Guard but she was nearly melted by the first dragon combat-yikes! I keep considering a new Mac-so I can run Windows for Games....and Mods-I'd love to be able to Zbrush some new faces! Lydia needs some face work for certain!
Quote - Hi Eric, good to hear from you. :) Ya def know what you mean, I have never finished the main questline yet. I like making new characters and modding the game so always end up starting over. I think I have just about found my perfect mix of mods and hopefully will play all the way through this time.
I have 97 mods not too many just enough. I am playing this time with alchemy and potions completely removed from the game, so no healing potions. There is still magic but I can only use the healing that takes time to cast like healing hands. With sperg which is a perk mod and ultimate combat, deadly dragons, locational damage, and revenge of the enemies. Those mods make the game super tough. You have to do lots of planning, sneaking and range attacks.
I am taking one custom follower Rory. He will be very good with a bow as he levels up most of his points go to archery. He also has heal spells (healing hands like my player) He is set to non essential so he can die. But able to heal himself and the player. A mod I am working on for this play through has a priest who can resurrect your follower if you get to him within 3 days, but its expensive, very. Plus you have to pack the follower out (his weight value) which means you will likely have to drop alot of loot.
Tons of extra quests loaded too. Trying to make this play through extra tough but immersive.
Scott, Joe, :) good music love the soundtrack.
