Skyrim Tournament - Modded Creatures - Gravelord, Nordic Sentinel, Hydra, and more

  • My 4th tournament is ready! I've been using a few modded creatures in my previous battles, and it's time to put them against each other. I am very picky when it comes to those; I don't want NPCs who only have buffed stats but are boring otherwise. With the addition of the Nightbringer five episodes ago, I've finally reached the 8th modded NPC in my videos, making a bracket-style tournament possible!
    I am sorry if anyone finds them boring and would rather see vanilla battles. I usually prefer that too, but modded episodes are fun every now and then, and I really wanted to see some of those creatures facing each other, so I might as well turn that into a video. It's also a unique way of showcasing those mods and crediting the authors.
    That being said, here are the creatures in this video, and my previous episodes with them:

    My episodes: • Skyrim Battles - Dread...
    • Skyrim Battles - Dread...
    Hydra: www.nexusmods....
    My episode: • Skyrim Battles - Hydra...
    It was difficult finding good setups; for example, the Lightning Embed Bone Colossus is immune to shock, so I can't put him against the Dread Lich.
    I also wanted to avoid repeating any matches. I have done fights between modded NPCs before and didn't want the same rounds here again.
    The Hydra is actually at a huge disadvantage here, since most of its damage comes from poison rather than physical damage. The same applies to the severed heads. Every modded creature in this tournament is immune to poison (except for summons), so the Hydra has to survive without its most powerful ability.

    Hydra is a bit overpowered with it's many phases but the sentinel almost had a chance with his insane damage output.

      Both the Hydra and the Sentinel are overpowered, so that last match felt pretty fair. 😂 You're not wrong though! I'm glad there's one vanilla creature that can still beat the Hydra

    Both Hydra and the the Nordic Sentinel were immune towards each others strongest ability. The Hydra could not poison the Nordic Sentinel and the Nordic Sentinel could not stunlock the Hydra to death. The Hydra could only be defeated by the strongest vanilla creature in the game while the Nordic Sentinel is the only one who can win any match against any vanilla creature, due to the Nordic Sentinel's stunlocking ability.

    Something I find with a lot of the creature mods: The creators put ALL their time into the model, and don't even test their creatures. I have to fix them myself. For example, Deadroths are just copy and pasted stats from werewolf's, as they use the same skeleton. However, I think because of the longer head, their arms attack doesn't reach far enough, so they can't hit anything. I had to fix the reach myself. Then for almost every creature mod, I have to increase their stats, and attack damage, and do things I shouldn't have to do, like add armor and resistances to them. Literally 5 minutes of work, both the mod authors can't ever be bothered to. Doesn't matter how good it looks if the thing is a push over in game.

    • @lSlendermaster
      @lSlendermaster  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think the problem is the balancing. There's not objectively correct way to do it, and if you ask several people, you'll get several different answers what's balaned properly.
      Lots of things in the vanilla game are problematic too, but there are very different opinions about how to change them, so I usually just end up keeping everything as it is.
      Of course, that doesn't apply to obvious bugs, like the reach you mentioned. 😅 There are quite a few vanilla bugs still existing in the game with nobody having a fix

    • @Cruor34
      @Cruor34 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@lSlendermaster I can agree everyone will have a different opinion on what the stats should be, but often times they have NO stats, for example, a creature literally made out of wood, (like the forest spirit thing) or who has hard scales should have some natural armor, at least equivalent to say a set of ring mail but they never do. I always find myself adding it all so that the creature can put up a fight.
      Skyrim is WAY too easy, I would really like to see a game like if Skyrim and Elden Ring had a baby. That would be an amazing game.

      I don't think Skyrim is too easy because I've seen a lot of new players struggle even with random fights. It's not made for the specific hardcore player base, and in my opinion, hard enough for casual players. Although I personally wouldn't mind it being more difficult, just not for everyone 😄

    Just watching this now; I knew my boy Nightbringer wouldn't win against the Hydra. xD There's a lot of strength in numbers not only because sheer quantity but because the AI can only focus on one foe at a time. Cleave and AoE can help, though. 🤔

      @lSlendermaster  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh hey, nice to see you here again! 🥳 He did pretty well still, not a lot of NPCs can even get to the Hydra's second state! But you're right, all the heads were a little too much, especially because he can't shout often enough. 😅
      I have read that the Marked for Death glitch got fixed in an AE update, but I still play SE because updating would break some of my mods. 😅
      I assume the easiest way to deal with this would be to look at the fix in the update, and apply the same fix in your mod if you care to release it for us SE players as well. 😅
      In case you get stuck at some point, maybe I can help. My modding experience is probably not as good as yours, but I have made some things as well. 😄
      On a side note: If you don't mind me asking, how did you find my videos? Do you watch Skyrim battles, or did it get recommended to you or something? I've been curious since the first time you commented back then, because it kinda made my day 😂

    • @Caerulean
      @Caerulean ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@lSlendermaster I only have Classic Skyrim and so what I would probably do is to either make my own Marked For Death shout or add/make another spell to replace it. It's looking like the Nightbringer uses the Dremora Lord summon too much, so maybe I'll add a stronger Shade summon or add a Wraith summon that the AI could consider summoning just as often as the Dremora Lord.
      And then when the update gets released for LE, what I do is ask a mod author friend to convert it for SE.
      (RE: how I find the videos) So sometimes -this is quite funny and embarrassing 😅 - I like feeling validated or something and look up my mods here on YT or elsewhere, haha.
      Anyway, I've had this idea where I make an Auroran creature of mine in another mod hunt the player like Nightbringer if the player is a vampire. :3 Not sure if I'll ever get to it, but: Would you have him (Vyrmilion, in the Equinox mod) fight Nightbringer or something? Haha. Nylhac too~ I think Kharizesthe (Seth) and Ferrine has some combat potential too, maybe.

      That's completely understandable! Nothing embarrassing about it. 😄 I'm glad you stumbled upon my videos!
      I just took a look at that mod. From what I'm getting, it changes Kilkreath Ruins and might remove Malkoran as well? I want to avoid that because Malkoran's damage output is tied to his location, so the only way I can keep his full potential is by keeping everything there as it is. 😅

    • @Caerulean
      @Caerulean ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@lSlendermaster The Shade and the Wraith are already in the mod. The Shade looks like the Nightbringer but has no scythe, is weaker, and is a mage. I suspect he doesn't get summoned as much, in your battles is that he's a lower-level summon and I assume you run these at max level, and the AI usually prefers to use their best spells. The Wraith is how the Nightbringer is summoned normally. It's essentially Mihail's dementor but with some adjustments from me.
      The Equinox mod only replaces the original temple sometime after you complete Meridia's quest. It doesn't remove Malkoran or anything important in that quest. It uses a copy of the original temple which it doesn't delete or anything. So if you already have a save with Malkoran still alive in his boss room, you don't have to worry about anything.
      And 'deleting' Malkoran would break the original quest. Though if a mod 'removes' an NPC or something else, their record would still be in the game. So if a mod removed Malkoran, you can still find him in the records by doing 'help malkoran' in the console commands for example. Actually, I think he's not uniquely named in the records and is called something like 'dunkilkreathwarlock'. (* looks it up * Oh wow, I got it right; that's actually his editor name. It's been years since I last saw his editor name, haha, I think.)
      Any mod shouldn't delete important records like that.

    • @lSlendermaster
      @lSlendermaster  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@@Caerulean I have seen both of them, but I meant it would be cool to see them more often. 😅 In my battles, he went for the Dremora Lord most of the time, so I didn't really get to see the other summons.
      By the way, I appreciate that you listed the command to deactivate the Nightbringer spawn in your Nexus description! He kept spawning during my recordings, which led to funny bloopers, but it was a bit much sometimes. 😂
      Ohh, good to know! Yeah, that solves the problem. Thanks for the info! I need to try that mod sometime. Are there any changes about it that you have planned? 😄
      Fair enough! I have spent a lot of time analyzing Malkoran and everything about him because I was trying to figure out the exact mechanics about his damage, but there are still some things unresolved. That's why I was concerned about anything changing him or his location; if I don't know the exact source of the mechanics, anything that is connected might still affect them. 😅
