Fun fact with the duel enchantment perk when something like that chaos enchantment or other elemental enchantment is boosted by the agmented perks the other enchantment you decide to put on it will be agmented as well so you can have a dragon bone sword With like 180 chaos elemental damage and absorb 68 health on the same weapon and with complete fortified destruction on your armor you never have to feed it soulgems
@@motorpolitan8884 yeah, my main playstyle is a spell sword usually either restoration or destruction and again this is after getting the dual enchantment perk, elemental resistances have a cap so there's not much need to have every available slot with them as well as with max enchanting you can just grind alteration even if it's not a part of your build for the absorb magica perk. also by the time i have max enchanting I also have max smithing since i just use the transmutation spell and mine every iron ore vain i see since its literally as valuable as gold to me and end up with so many gold rings i can't sell them all, so yeah extra damage isn't much of an issue when you have a max level enchanted crafting set buffed by max level enchanting potions to pass the armor limit easily and your sword does almost as much damage as your augmented chaos damage and absorb health enchantments, also who needs extra resistances when you absorb more than 60 health per hit with an enchantment you never have to refill due to the destruction enchantments on your armor.
To me, level scaling is one of the worst ideas Bethesda has implemented. When I played through Tears of the Kingdom for the first time, I encountered a hinox it was a massive struggle to kill it. When I first found a gleeok I knew I'd have no chance taking it down. Later into my play through when I was better at the combat and had better equipment hinoxes were now easy for me and my first thought was to go back to where I found the gleeok and try my luck. You completely miss this sense of progress in Skyrim and Oblivion because everything stays on your level. The dragons just make this issue worse, the first dragon you fight not feeling much different from the last, let's not even talk about what a chore oblivion gates became.
@@roach7191Yea, the problem is much more pronounced in Oblivion due to how levelling your character works; you might get only one attribute point out of five. Morrowind also does this but is much more forgiving.
Level scaling is great and doesn't suck. It makes the game challenging and exciting for the whole play through. And yes some games do Level scaling better than others. Oblivion is implemented very poorly compared to FO3 and Skyrim
@@riotd.r.8363 Giants are the best barometer for character growth imo and they represent the same experience i mentioned above. Everyone remembers the first time they got one shot by a giant and the first moment they could finally take one down.
If you're wondering why the starting area is still so low levelled, it's to do with how Skyrim's level scaling is implemented. The base game doesn't take much advantage of it, although some rebalance mods did way more, but there's a minimum and maximum level assigned per-area, and your level when you first ENTER that area is what the game will use whenever you return to it in future (it might reset after something like 90 in-game days but I don't think so). So, even though the game HAS level scaling, all the areas around Riverwood and the early game dungeons cap out at pretty low levels. Conversely, Blackreach actually has a surprisingly high floor for this system. I can't be sure from memory, but I think it's 15 or something?
Yea & imo some of the best open-world games scale by geographical area because it can be used to an extent for world-building. The original NES Zelda had stronger enemies (& later game dungeons) in mountains & denser forests & etc which just feels right. As far as I’m concerned a “skill gated metroidivania” is literally just classic open-world design. 😂 Level scaling based on player experience allows for a bit more flexibility… though it’s a challenge to strike a good balance between the two methods. Breath Of The Wild might have came closest based on what I’ve played. Worst roads are described in-game by NPCs as dangerous, & Lynels for the most part are pretty far-off the main path. 🤔 It helps that it’s also so neat that the player-based scaling could be explained by Ganon’s seal weakening & his influence on Hyrule growing stronger. 👀
13:57 according to UESP, the reason you never got the letter for The Wolf Queen Awakened is because the courier only comes with the letter to start the quest once you’ve leveled up once after finishing The Man Who Cried Wolf
3:12 Yep, that happened to me when I did my first playthrough a few days ago. Opened the chest, saw it, and immediately started dying of laughter because I guess Meridia REALLY wanted me to touch her beacon if she spawns it in the FIRST DUNGEON a player comes across.
Okay, so you start the Companions while at max level and your first radiant quest is Hired Muscle, just punch some random civilian for a bit. I start the Companions on Survival mode at maybe level 5 mostly coming from Alchemy and get Trouble In Skyrim, being asked to clear Shimmermist Cave of Falmer... Eight playthroughs in a row... I was honestly starting to wonder if a Creation added with Anniversary Edition had changed things to make it so that's always your first radiant quest or something. Nope, guess I've just got crazy luck. Wtf Skyrim?
i just finished dishonored 2 with the worse possible ending on ng+ so figured i would watch this since it is the funny I am going completely insane the credits song is burned into my brain and it won't go away
Can You Beat Dragonborn DLC as The Nerevarine! A blast from the past comes back to deal with this Miraak guy who showed up and started messing with Morrowind. Rules: Be a Dark Elf Gather the Nerevarine's gear and reclaim your lost treasures Trueflame and Hopesfire completing the quest Ghosts of the Tribunal. Can use other weapons and magic, but the goal is to reclaim your weapons. Can use any armor found during Ghosts of the Tribunal (Her Hand, Indoril sets ect.), can use traditional Dunmer gear until its unlocked Get rid of Miraak and save Morrowind (again) May have a follower, but only if you can convince Dagoth-Ur to tag along. (If you get the Mask of Dagoth-Ur and give it to a follower to equip, this counts lol)
Ive never kegendaried any perks, it might be a glitch but it never effected my game aprt from leveling, but my skills all went oast 100, it wouldn't show in the menu, only when it leveled up but i got my character to level 93, this is on legendary edition for the 360

Sacrificing multiple enchantment slots to get 100% fortify destruction isn't worth it since you'll be sacrificing extra dmg or elemental resistance.
@@motorpolitan8884I mean you can have another armor set to have damage resistance if you need it.
Then there's breaking the enchanting system so badly with the restoration loop glitch your values go negative. It's hilarious seeing the god fork.

Skyrim dosent do it as bad just becouse of how powerful you can actually get

Giants, animals and basic bandits and dragons stay the same range in Skyrim. So, I personally feel the power of leveling.

It might be just how the RNG plays out, Farkas either gives Hired Muscle or Trouble in Skyrim. I have always gotten hired Muscle for these runs.
I have found the beacon early in most of my saves
Usually in bleak falls barrow
