Something that I think would be nice for them to tackle in the next ES would be the fact that fast weapons like the dagger or short sword are the de facto base for enchanted weapons because the most important part is just hitting as many times as possible. It really shits on warhammers and whatnot and punishes power attacks. Morrowind sort of addressed this by making it easy to run out of stamina and miss attacks if you were flailing with fast stuff, but Oblivion went to making stamina just affect your base weapon damage and well, It would be neat if they tried some weird stuff, like daggers getting half effect from enchantments, or heavy weapons having a higher cap on spell effects, or power attacks giving the effects a chance to "crit".

Could you just make damage enchantments percentage-based? So fiery dagger deals 20 physical +4 fire damage, fiery hammer does 40 +8?

Enchantments are for posers, smith that poo poo to a shine and let the metal do the work.

A sword with absorb magicka and soul trap was the best way to get around Oblivion's awkward spell costs. You just make spells that use 100% of your magicka bar and use it like a Special meter.

In past games having a good sword is helpful because pre-filled soul gems are hard to come by (specifically talking about Oblivion I guess where higher-level combat is mostly fighting damage sponges that take 10 uses off your enchantment). Hence why Azura's Star is so useful. But in Skyrim they seem to throw shittons more soul gems at you so it's never a problem to keep your blade charged.

Probably wouldn't have bothered to beat that game if not for this silly combo.

It's to represent the collision of the multiverse Playing through Oblivion again, can anyone explain Falcar's (cheydinhal mage leader) diabolical plan? It seems like it's supposed to be some horrible revelation, but it goes like this: - If you want my recommendation get my Ring Of Burden out of the well. It's heavy, dont say I didn't warn you! Second in command warns you that the last person to look for the Ring of Burden in the Well...disappeared! Where could the associate looking for the Ring of Burden in the Well have gone??? Anyways here's a feather spell. Falcar is then confronted by SiC, and is warned that she'll tell the academy that he....has a Ring of Burden that he wants out of a well, that he warns people about. This is a dire enough threat that he flees the guild. Obviously I understand the intent (Falcar getting people killed to soul trap them), but I'm just not sure where in this plan he's supposed to have been compromised. Presume he stayed in the guild when you came back with the ring. SiC finds out the last guy searching for the Ring of Burden in the Well died, in the well, after being warned by Falcar (presumably he gives the same warning to all associates, and you're not the exception). She's mad but has nothing actually on Falcar, he writes your recommendation, you gently caress off out of Cheydinhal none the wiser. Instead he unlocks his black gem room and runs away ranting, stupid elf.

Neurolimal posted:It's to represent the collision of the multiverse it's just horribly written, and like an annoying number of oblivion and skyrim quests, it kind of implicitly assumes your character is a mostly incapable child who shouldn't be expected to face such, uh, danger. and the "mystery" of retrieving the ring of burden without dying is even mostly circumvented by the feather spell, because why assume the player will be competent enough to figure out how to carry out this dangerous task from a capricious wizard? if it were even a dangerous task at all, that is. the ring isn't even very heavy, the dead associate must have had a strength of 20 or so to be drowned by it maybe falcar just thought everyone involved knew more than they actually did about his motives. he probably would have been fine if he hadn't panicked - after all, retrieving a ring of burden from the bottom of a well actually shouldn't be outside the skillset of a mage. it was a perfectly reasonable task to evaluate for mild proficiency in alteration, and less dangerous than several of the other recommendation quests.

My favorite part of the "Timmy fell down the well" quest is that the apprentice's corpse merrily floats, instead of being dragged down by the ring. My least favorite part is that Timmy isn't named Timmy.

The best thing about the well quest is that you can still pick up the ring with the Z key, drag to with you to any doors or hatches you need, and just pick it up in your inventory for the transitions, then drop and pick it up again with Z. It's real dumb. EDIT: 12 year-old me who barely knew English figured that one out

Can't go through cell transitions this way, though you can wander all around the countryside with a skull from a skeleton that was outside.

This exploit persisted through FO3 and launch New Vegas; you could gib an enemy, put a bunch of gear in it, then carry it with you to a store. NV had an expac where the ending has a bunch of gold bars that you can usually only take one of (its a timed sequence and they're heavy), but you could blow up the villain and store a vaults worth of gold in his tibia.
