Secret Santa 2024
Actually i think their animations got a whole lot better with their last few releases. Oblivion and Fallout 3 had pretty sub-par animations, but i find them quite acceptable here in Skyrim. They could still do with some improvements, but at least it looks like you're actually hitting people rather than trying to brush dust off them.

Just made a new high elf to try out focusig at least 75% on magic, mainly destruction.
Any tipsies or hintsies?

Be careful with the AoE spells - they'll kill off Lydia or any other followers you have in short order.
Also wards are very useful, but leech your magic like there's no tomorrow unless you upgrade whichever spell class they've under (alteration?).

And iirc there's no dulling of magic for wearing armor in this game so feel free to wear heavy armor and enchant the shit out of it to reduce your spell costs like I did.
Of particular use are the "reduce magic cost and boost spell class" enchantments for torso pieces. But that requires enchanting, which is largely a game breaker so if you're not happy about that or just have crap enchanting then don't worry about it.

Don't. Been there. Gets boring really fast. Plus the destruction tree doesn't have much variation at all. Try Conjuration or Alteration.
My heart just wouldn't be in it, you know? haven't got one.
Being a spellcaster can actually be really fun with the Midas Magic mod. If you don't cheat. Hopefully there will be more awesome content in the future.


Also, the "Blaze of Magnus" spell is like a Kamehameha. So awesome.
Omnia Mori
sed Evici Amor
The Master Lightning spell is also Kamehameha-esque. But this mod looks pretty cool.

Oh my god that mod is sex.
Why couldn't they have made the original spells that awesome?!

I mean, at least with the VFX.

Mage would be OP. Everyone would go for it as well.

Being a mage already is kind of OP once conjuration and illusion are both maxed out. Going around with 2 briar heart/storm atronach/bandit chief etc. thralls while being invisible most of the time makes things much easier. Pretty OP but not OP enough to save me from being slaughtered by 10-15 draugr deathlords qq

Also briar hearts are leveled kind of strangely. At around level 40-50 they become super powerful and can pretty much 1 shot kill any enemy.
