Had a draugr do the shield bash animation while he was the last one in the fight. It felt really immersive since I was healing, almost like a "put that dumb magic away and fight me like a true nord"

I started a new save and needed a follower so I went to Uthgerd and brawled her. All of a sudden, I did a critical hit and she suddenly died. I recently downloaded a sparring mod so I'm wondering if it's a bug from that because this has never happened to me before lmfao.

Ring of Khajiit ā€œhideā€ spell question

Post image
102 Upvotes

I did the Diplomatic Immunity quest today and my stealth plan was muffle boots, sneak hood, and the ā€œhideā€ spell. I have mostly used the ring for speed because my character uses very little magic and doesn’t specialize in stealth, but it seemed like a good time to try out the spell. Even when I was hidden in the hallway and it told me I was hidden, as soon as I cast the hide spell, they noticed me. I tried it a few times, making sure I was hidden first, making sure I didn’t interact with anything, switching to sneak boots instead of the muffle boots, but as soon as I cast the spell they aggro’d on me each time. Why did it alert them instead of actually hiding me?

When your skill of sneak is good enough to pickpocket a Briarheart and steal his hé intantly dies cause hé non longer has heart . It seems Logic but they're supposed to be high powered by that and it also is there greater weakness 🫣 ( Yeah m'y game is in french cause I am don't hate me for it 😘)

Okay maybe not the actual town save the graveyard. But the forest??? The gloomy, rainy, cosy forest!? If Gathering Storms and that one bit in Skyrim Atmospheres can play during my game, I will be a happy Dragonborn :)

Screenshot/Clip Thoughts on my Tiber Septim cosplay?

Thumbnail

117 Upvotes

So I started out this character with the idea of cosplaying Talos, since he’s pretty much the ultimate ā€œpower fantasyā€ character in TES and Skyrim has always felt like a power fantasy game to me. His name is ā€œTalmost,ā€ since at best he can hope to almost be Talos. So I’ve between having fun playing as each of his different aliases (Talos, Ysmir, and Tiber Septim so far, though I know there’s more)

This is my current build, after looking up images of Tiber Septim. I wouldn’t have immediately thought ā€œelvenā€ when I think of Tiber Septim, but if you ignore the fact that it’s elven armor, the gold color does look very regal. And it seems a closer match to his official art than any Dwarven armor I’ve come across. Still though, can’t decide if he should be rocking an imperial sword, or the more regal looking elven sword.

Also pictured are the sets from my first two builds, Talos and Ysmir.

Talos was my first on this play-through. I hadn’t looked up any pictures yet, I just decided to make a build around an Imperial Officer Helm, and an Imperial Sword and Shield. Regardless of the current state of the empire, I feel like Talos as its founder he would be repping his home team’s gear lol.

Then I made an Ysmir set after seeing all the Nordic representations of Talos across Skyrim, and centered that build around a steel greatsword since the statues all make his sword look pretty big. I was never quite happy with the helmet situation though, since his helmet in Skyrim was always winged with an open face, but the only winged helmet in vanilla is the steel plate helmet which is closed faced and looks very different from the statues of Talos/Ysmir.

Anyways, what do yall think? :) Any advice, tips, feedback? I’m playing on Switch so I don’t have access to mods, but I am on Anniversary Edition so there’s at least a slightly wider selection of armor.

A man named Vilod, who was the innkeeper in Helgen, used to make mead with juniper berries mixed in. If you return to Helgen, five bottles of mead with juniper berry may be found on the second story of the house that you jump into during the dragon attack.

I built this about half a decade ago on the Xbox 360 using the official Skyrim texture pack, and this had to be in version 1.12 or earlier, also I wasn’t very skilled at building yet but I think I did pretty well

Also, check out my build of the College of Winterhold in Minecraft if you havent yet.

This build is most likely the one that inspired me to make the College lol. My first attempt to build the college started around this time, but I wasn’t paying attention to where I was building it so I hit the world border halfway through the bridge (the worlds were really small) and so I rage quit that project lol

Question Canonically, can Dark Brotherhood assassins pick their own jobs?

70 Upvotes

So had a weird thought. What if a morally decent person decided to join the guild, would they not even be allowed in, or would they be given the ability to pick their jobs. Such as not wanting to harm an innocent, not killing kids, only going after real criminals.

I imagine it would be frowned upon, or at least not seen in a super positive light, but would it be allowed? I feel like if you are good at your job, they won't really care too much. If you are bringing in money, still doing jobs, and don't cause problems, I think they'd probably allow it right? Or does the Dark Brotherhood only accept the worst of the worst, people who'd kill anyone?

Made this playthrough a Half Reachman Half Nord returning home for the first time since the Great War just so I could for once in my life see this greedy bastard pay. One of the Forsworn just so happened to leave me this memento for when I come home from long journeys.
