    DLC Ideas you have that never happened?

    I was pretty happy with Dawnguard and Dragonborn. Bethesda are generally pretty good at incorporating new ideas that can enhance the gameplay not just in new zones or areas but in the wider game itself. I do wish they'd incorporated more about the dwemer. The Aetherium items didn't really gel...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    I put together a an assortment of thralls that make an odd team but which are a lot of fun end game. Up until now I've been relying on a pair of master cultists to do most of my bidding. I have four in total - 2 seeker summoners and two non summoners. They get boosts to their destruction magic...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    Surprise to me too. Found the video after reading about it but that's the one. The guy on the video manages with two rings. With the Ill Met by Moonlight glitch working for me (favouriting the ring, taking off and putting on again until it syncs with the Cursed Ring of Hircine equipping...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    The Diadem trick might be more workable on a Khajit. I went through some people's lists of their favourite exploits and there was one where you could wear more than the single or even double helm (Jagged Crown / Penitus Oculatus Helmet / Falmer Helmet + circlet or dragon priest mask for anyone...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    I've been perk building my Necromage Vampire Werewolf. I recommend it to anyone building a new character. You get pretty much all the bonuses of both builds for very few costs (I miss the Illusion boost and human vampire powers but I can live without). There is even some dialogue that seems to...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    iMACobra The Ring of Namira glitch seems to still work. It took a bit more work than last time I glitched it (3 attempts rather than 1) but it still seems to work. I wanted the ring just for the Stamina boost in VL form but the stat bonuses didn't carry over just the Cannibalism ones. No Active...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    iMACobra My experience with Ulfric didn't really match up with other peoples. His corpse was supposed to hang around but I always had more problems with Ulfric than with Vyrthur. I was reduced to autosaving with them both on screen in case I needed to reload. Sometimes he'd come running from the...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    Irishman I only throw in to do the Thrall Disappearing missions before gathering thralls because with some thralls they seem to disappear the second you leave them alone. Storage works with some but not all thralls. Ulfric tended to disappear very quickly last time I thralled him. I wanted to...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    Thanks for the updates above. I wasted time trying to get Nazir's unique clothing without destroying the Dark Brotherhood … still no luck (nobody online seems to have found a method either). I spent a long time with level 34 builds and how to minimise wasted perks and experience in skills that...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    Thanks I never really thralled any of the other vampires other than the Traveler. There used to be rumours that he was responsible for all those NPC's that used to go missing and leave ash piles everywhere. I started thralling him to make sure it didn't happen. It still did of course but then...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    I'm rebuilding a main character using exploits and I was thinking a good way of getting Konahrik to activate the dead dragon priest reliably is to forego regenerating enchants on armour and piling on large but not massive boost health enchants. Most enemies on Master can reduce your health from...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    I don't mind eliminating Magicka cost so much. If you build a mage even without exploits then you are bound to eliminate at least one and probably two schools of Magicka from having any cost. I don't like stun locking enemies with stagger perks and spamming attacks because it takes their oomph...

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    The challenge isn't the fight, it's crafting the build and retaining special thralls as long as I can. I don't download the latest patches all the time and was sort of reluctant to download DLC that got rid of some previous choice exploits. On the other hand I never used to be able to reduce...

    Don't forget the Spectral Dragon Priests (their bodies survive in some dungeons allowing them to be raised) and who doesn't like a pack of werebears at their heels.

    Thrall Thread : Living with the dead

    Yep - It's amazing how many exploits there are out there. If you use them at the right time you can build your character to a nice medium where you still get the thrill of being knocked out every now and again and Konahrik still activates for its nice surprise. The hard part is getting them all...
