What a milk drinker

How are you finding the Vanician Magic? I always wondered if it would make me rely on weapons. I'm assuming you're using one handed weapons a lot?
---

Skyrim had one of the worst class building systems I've ever experienced.

Every build no matter what I did felt the same

So how long until he becomes a stealth archer

Dont get me wrong I had mods, but my game was at the point where how much was actually Bethesda.

How good is a game really where I have to have mods to fix almost everything about a game?

I love it. You almost never really run out of spells unless you really over do it You can still get more "Spell Slots" but putting things into Magic still

Quadratic Wizard - Whenever you recharge your Vancian Magic spells, you gain 1 additional Vancian Magic spell for each 10 points of base Magicka.

So that gives you another 10 or 15 [high elf] at base extra, so 30 or 35 Spell Slots before you need to go and rest up. But I'm more of a Hexblade person, so I'm not using my Slots up all that much. Just Paralyze, Bound Weapon, Flesh, and then all the other crazy spells the mods have given me like making them sleep or teleporting behind them for a back attack

I think with Skyrim most everyone would agree the skills/perks are very generic and boring.
Even adding in a perk tree mod can drastically alter your builds.
You don't need to start editing everything else.

It changes perks completely but lets you have vastly different builds each time.

It even make Archery a lot more involved and fun to play since that's the big meme around here -

20 - Clean Kill - Bows and crossbows deal 20% more damage to a target at full Health.
20 - Wingstrike (2) - Bashing with a bow or crossbow always staggers the target. Bows and crossbows deal 20/40% more damage to that target for 10 seconds.
30 - Long Shot (3) - Bows and crossbows deal up to 40/60/80% more damage to targets beyond 50 feet. The damage bonus increases as distance increases.
30 - Steady Hand (3) - Pressing Block while aiming will zoom in your view/ and slow time by 25/50%.
40 - Crippling Shot - Arrows and bolts slow a target within 25 feet by 10% for 20 seconds. This effect stacks.
40 - Hunter's Discipline - Recover twice as many arrows and bolts from dead bodies.
40 - Thread the Needle (2) - Bows and crossbows ignore 25/50% armor if the target is not moving.
50 - Pinning Shot - Arrows and bolts have a chance to stagger a target within 50 feet. More effective against targets with a lower remaining Health percentage. No effect on massive targets.

60 - Quick Shot - Can draw a bow or reload a crossbow 30% faster.
60 - Snipe - Shooting targets you haven't shot within the past 10 seconds inflicts a critical strike that deals three times critical damage, and any weapon enchantments applied by the shot are twice as effective.
70 - Ambush Predator - After standing still for 6 seconds with a bow or crossbow out, it does 25% more damage until you move.
70 - Beak and Talon - Your shots disrupt targets within 25 feet, disarming them if they are power attacking and knocking them down if they are staggered.
80 - Hailstorm - Attack 8% faster with bows and crossbows for 10 seconds after shooting a fully drawn bow or crossbow in combat. This effect stacks.
80 - Hawkeye - Grants the "Hawkeye" power. Once a day, slow time and focus on your foes for 10 seconds, looking for opportunities for a killing shot. Finding their vulnerability takes 1 second per 125 Health. Once you do, you may shoot them for an instant kill.

It actually does seem much more interesting and more tactical to a point. Given that you're limited. But it's interesting playing like that. I always had most of my charactesr end up just pumping health and going melee in the bse game.

If you're going to go full Wizard, I don't think it's the best thing to use. But if you're playing a Hex/Spell Blade like more or even a Sneaky person since you can just grab that from Alteration and cast all those great Illusion/Conjuration spells for free

That's actually a really interesting point you made. In Oblivion I was just using melee with conjuration and some magic for support, same with Morrowind.

I think I'll try that per in Skyrim next time I play through it, thanks.

He looks a bit like Roman Reigns

At first glance I thought that was dorian pavus lol. Wish I had a computer I could play games on without them looking worse than a flip book.
---

Playing on Master, btw. I don't really know what I want to do in the game right now, though. Any suggestions?
