Warhead36 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 4 minutes ago, Mr. Sinister said: Sounds like Witcher 3. I spent most of the time roaming and doing side quests and leveling up to the point where even dispatching the Wildhunt/Wildhunt King wasnt all that troublesome. Yeah its similar in that regard. RPGs tend to be like that though to be honest, as players always outscale enemies. Skyrim and Witcher 3 are completely different types of games though. Witcher's combat is actually really good, in fact overall I think Witcher 3 is a stronger game, but Skyrim is quite good in its own merits. Highly recommended.

Taylor703 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 If you own this on PC there's basically no reason to buy the remaster, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bought it through Steam you get the remaster for free. Don't know how it works on other platforms. Edit: That's only if you have all the DLC I think. Also, porting saves works, but only if they haven't been modded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Well the console mods available so far are quite..limited. Dissapointed. Guess I'll wait at least until that no spider mod is available if ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though doing things like stealing or killing in front of others will get them to run to he city guards and a bounty will be placed on your head. If caught by the guard yu csn fight/run or pay the fine and spend time in jail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Definitely gonna have to get this. The character variation alone seems compelling enough. The mod thing sucks, and although the experience will be nothing compared to PC (which is where games like these shine) hopefully there will at least be more stuff than Witcher 3, which seemed pretty barren. Combat doesn't bother me a ton. Mass Effect is one of my most favorite games ever and combat was dreadful there, too. I gets down, regardless...

I guess we can expect more down the road, but for now, PS4 gamers (which I am) get the short end of the stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Well I was able to port my saves over as mentioned above, so I just picked up where I left off in the old version. I haven't really noticed much of a difference, but I'm also not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yeah, PC. Just for the general discussion, my build is based on archery and sneaking, but I've picked up a few random other things like a few spells as needed for particular quests.

Mr. Sinister Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I prefer stealth, but I do kinda wanna go with a more magic based build just for a changeup. We'll see when I finally pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Archery/sneak is like cheatmode Try going with Destruction, or really, any magic school other than *maybe* conjuration. At first it's not that bad, but magic damage does not scale with level. After a while, you can't kill anything near your level even using your entire mana pool. And a dragon? LOL. That is one area where a scaling mod definitely is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yeah archery/sneak is beyond broken. Magic is good but you have to be willing to diversify your skills. You can't just go all out Destruction and nuke stuff or you will die. You need stuff in Alteration/Restoration for defense. Illusion is nice too to mess with enemies. There is a mod that offers a LOT more perks and the new perks in the magic skiill trees are awesome. For example there is one in Destruction that increases your damage with destruciton spells by a % of your Destruction skill, allowing it to scale.

dfitzo53 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It's kind of funny how bad Bethesda's balance issues can be game after game and still have the games win multiple awards. And yeah, sneaking is basically cheating, but with melee weapons as awkward as they are to use, it's not like hand to hand is all that much more interesting. I actually like doing less sneaking now that I'm higher level and just using the bow at close range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yes, wards are useless but mage armor helps some. But not nearly as much as having actual heavy armor, which is why everyone who uses magic plays a battlemage. I try to go pure caster, but its really hard.

Mr. Sinister Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hmmm. Will probably have to mess around with that a little. I desperately want to be a psychopathic wizard. Get my Saruman on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yeah I like em a little more now (already liked him some, seeing as he's an NBA guy) that I know he occasionally likes to get down on the consoles, and isn't 24/7 wine,cheese, figs, and high stakes backgammon.

Going Commando Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I played the hell out of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. I got close to 100% complete on Oblivion but there were a ton of nirn roots I never bothered to find. I played Skyrim on XBox 360 since launch and still play it from time to time. I beat the **** out of it, I leveled at least 10 characters to 81. So many that I've just deleted a bunch of them because I knew I would never go back to them. I did pretty much everything in the game, but bizarrely, I never beat the Dark Brotherhood quest line. It was the last thing I had left to do and I just couldn't bring myself to finish it. I didn't want the game to be over. Same thing happened to me with one of the Mass Effects. Anyway, if you have questions about the game or the lore of Nirn, I can probably help you.
