Does the Two-Handed Weapons perk that ignores armor not affect natural armor that enemies might have?
It does, but enemies don't really have natural armor for it to matter (if at all). Waste of perk points.

Is it possible to recover your gear later if you leave it in the chest?

Elven armor is great value for its weight, and you can return to the embassy after the quest and murder the guards with no consequence whatsoever (maybe even before?). Just pick the lock on the gate, kill the morons outside and then head into the little guardhouse to the left of the gate (to the right if you're inside). Nobody will care. Not even the thalmor themselves once they respawn.

So this Esbern guy, he's saying that the world is going to end, everyone is going to die and a dragon is going to eat our souls, and there's nothing anyone can do about it, but no one listened to his warning. What exactly was he hoping people would do? Is there some action that could have been taken to avert this unavoidable apocalypse?
Maybe he wanted people to search harder for a new dragonborn. :shrug:

But you can't expect too much from a guy who thinks hiding in the most obvious location in all of Skyrim is a good idea. Wouldn't Riften's thief infested sewer be the first place anyone would look for him? Gotta prevent the Thalmor from learning that part about the dragons or they might actually try and stop them too. Which would lead to a lot more elves eaten by dragons so it's a win-win.

A fire dragon breathes fire, a frost dragon breathes frost so shouldn't a blood dragon... ?

Folsworn are evil vermin and really freaking stupid and should be eradicated from Tamriel. One of Ulfric's two redeeming qualities is that he kicked and shouted their asses before Mr Puffles arrived in Skyrim. The other is that he sends his moronic stormcloaks out on patrol to kill thalmor patrols.

Mr Puffles once got tricked by three goats when he tried to extort them when crossing a bridge.

You can also shout at rains of fire to stop. Such as in the beginning of the game when Alduin shows up and ruins your execution. If you had the shout at that point of course.

There's one quest where you are "sneaking" with some useless npc's and one of them comments on how powerful and deadly the centurions are and you can plink it with an arrow to make it fight the nearby falmer. It dies pretty much instantly doing no real damage because falmer are powered by bullshit modifiers towards health and damage.

Maridia's quest is indeed terrible (or however you spell her name). Same linear corridors as usual but all enemies are stuck at level 1 and die in one hit except for the last guy who is a higher-level-than-you mage with a ton of mana and area spells. It also has annoying unskippable dialog with someone who just goes on for way too long, as usual.

Nice that you saved the amazing ride to the doorstep of Sovngarde for the next video. :v:

1. Because Avunsea (my Dunmer) hasn't met her yet. Also Serana is stuck physically and emotionally a teenager after she not-entirely-consensually had vampirism screwed into her; she is not yours, my, or anyone else's goddamn waifu. :colbert: I'm pretty sure Bethesda made her unmarriageable for exactly that reason.* I did Meridia's quest early in the game. while I was mopping up side quests from Whiterun because sidequests are my jam and stop looking at me like that.

2. HE NEVER EVER loving USES ANYTHING OTHER THAN ICE SPELLS. THAT'S WHY I'M COMPLAINING, YOU NINCOMPOOP.


*if a 'Dragonborn and Serana, sitting in a tree' mod exists (and my experience with modding communities tells me it probably does), does it use dummied out dialogue recorded just for modders, like the dying children thing? If it does, I feel so, so sorry for Laura Bailey right now.
1. Fair enough. I started calling her a waifu to annoy people on youtube comments and it just sort of became a habit. But my dragonborn is probably almost as screwed up as her so can we travel across Skyrim killing everything and raising their bodies in a happy dysfunctional manner. Spot an old tomb haunted by vengeful dead? Loot it. A dragon swoops down? Hit it in the face with a sledgehammer until it dies and eat it's soul. Overhear someone wanting to eat carrots? Trek across the lands and head deep inside an underground cave system to return with a moldy old carrot and demand a hundred septims for it. There's a cursed demonic artifact lying around? Yoink! A crazy old hermit living way out in the ice fields says he wants blood from all the different kinds of elves? Nothing for it but to grab a big knife and go murdering.

Anyway. I get your point.

2. He's killed me with fire spells. :saddowns: Could be from SPERG maybe? :supaburn:

*There is dialog in the game files and the mod(s) use that. It's not terrible, by Skyrim standards. At least it's not long winded.

That's not actually a bad idea. Now if only the game didn't encourage you to do the civil war before the main quest so fiercely you could actually benefit from it. Taking forts while the stormcloaks get repeatably zapped by lightning is a lot more smooth.

The spell Isran uses is a restoration aura that deals negligible damage to nearby undead. You can buy it from one of the Dawnguard npc's, probably the optional one who also sells a decent anti undead area damage spell.

Dawnguard is probably my least favorite DLC for Skyrim. Vampires just don't seem to me like they should register on the threat-o-meter anywhere close to Literal Dragon Armageddon. Plus the enemies are a pain in the rear end and I hate most of the areas it sends you to (the soul cairn in particular can go gently caress itself).
Considering what their plan is, stopping them is pretty drat close to as important as stopping the dragonapocalypse. :drac:

At least it's open, has unique enemies and is smaller than it seems. Unlike those loving awful falmer caves you have to suffer through afterwards.
