I’m not sure I understand? Like if a key exists for a door I must go and find that key rather than picking the lock? That seems like it would require a lot of out of character knowledge (and also for me to have a perfect memorized list of all keys and doors in the universe)

Sounded good in theory. Mainly because usually I tend to go lazy and just lockpick sequence break through some dungeons.

Playing under the Atronach stone was like a totally different game! A really aggravating one. So ok, almost totally different.


Alright, I can think about breaking up some of the longer ones in the future.

Though to do that efficiently I need some kind of free program which can losslessly split a video into two files without massively ballooning the file size as my current program would.

Any recommendations?

avisynth. You'll have to learn a little scripting but it's quite good and doesnt have the sheer amounts of cruft most video editors have.
youll have to re encode the output afterwards which requires another program, however.

Theres a good write up in the tech fort iirc.

I suppose we now know why Arngeir said being Dragonborn might be a curse. Everyone has a reason to try to kill and/or manipulate the Dragonborn. The simple truth is that we don't know who's sending those assassins; it could be anyone.

Everyones had hired thugs sent after them by literal loving children.

Just so nothing will affect them. And whatever you do in that game will be long forgotten and irrelevant to any of the proper games and their canon. :)

Also so they can actually have morrowind.

Well the island that morrowind happens on.

There are some actually interesting books, and theyve made the effort to make a a lot of thise interesting books skill books.
I paused to read Chimarvamidium and I have to say they nailed the sort of casually strung together, mythical story telling of real life.

Its hard to decide who is the most competent character in skyrim is because no one has any agency to speak of besides the dragonborn, and everyones plans on using the dragonborn are incredibly straight forward.

Id have to nominate the forsaken for most competent faction though. Despite being dressed up as savage barbarians they were close to completing their intended goal of taking the reach until the DB came along.

So some mechanical questions, either for here or a travel filler:

In the Dragonborn DLC, are the Black Book bonuses worth taking as early as possible?

Well there is one that is pretty much the comprehension perk from FO3/NV, gives you an extra skill point on reading a skill book. Which for perfectionist players is probably the one to take early

Otherwise there are:
a choice between 3 powers that passively increase your warrior/thief skill effectiveness by 10%, and a third for mages that decreases spell cost by 10% and increases enchanting by 10%
A power that increases damage by 10% against the opposite sex, and you get 10% better prices, great for female characters, obv.
a choice between three once a day powers that cause you to spend no mana for spells/no stamina for power attacks/take half damage , for 30 seconds
a lesser power (pretty much a spell) that increases stamina regen by 50% for 300 seconds


The rest aren't worth going out of your way early for.


However if you are doing a hardcore run like Melth is, getting many of them involves a trek through apocyrpha, which is a min level 25 area with very dangerous and annoying enemies.

The most valuable potions that are super easy to get ingredients for pretty much everywhere are blue flower + blue butterfly = conjuration/damage magicka regen, and salt + deathbell = slow

just hang around in morthal and the solitude swamps if you want to get alchemically rich and powerful
just making random crap from the stuff you find by the side of the roads.

I'd chalk this up to the game having next to no variety for the player.
All melee weapons act the same, with different speeds.
All Bows act the same, with different speeds.
Spells and shouts are really the only place where you have variety of choice, you have your fire projectiles, ice storm (my favorite since its an easy aoe that slows effectively), hitscan lightning. But even then a very cursory review reveals the most optimal choice, and all the others are quite bad in comparison.

You can actually get to this next area outside of the MQ, theres a certain Dwarven ruin where you can find the sphere key item you need.
E:Its actually that you can get the Elder Scroll outside of the MQ and start the Septimus quest yourself

EE: i think im right but wiki tells me in wrong.

Anyways yeah that is Paul Eiding.
His distinctive voice bubbles through every few lines of dialogue.

That link spoils the rest of the game, including the entire dragonborn dlc. In case you haven't seen it.

Amusing, but it looks horribly tedious to play it like that. Just imagine all the time and effort involved.
