    13500 dmg in one hit... no abuse.

    If you play as an Orc and activate the Berserker Rage racial power, you can get 27,000 damage with your formula. THAT's overkill. Not sure why you'd ever need 27,000 damage... or 13,500 for that matter...

    Sacrilege

    Chapter 1 1 Rain's Hand, 4E 201 Caril spent a mere three days in the Embassy before departing for the Reach with Ondolemar, who offered the protection of his guard as they returned to Markarth. Though Caril wished to prolong his stay at the Embassy by any means necessary, he preferred safe...

    Toughest/most annoying Foe?

    I always have trouble with the Arch and Master level mages. Especially the Necromancers, and Ice-mages. I have issues with their frost magic not letting me get away (especially since magic is armor-piercing). Also, they heal themselves and reanimate their buddies (if they're necromancers)...

    Thanks, I'm really glad you like it so far. :)

    Sacrilege

    Prologue: 23 Sun's Dusk, 4E 200 Caril snorted and leaned back in his chair, folding his arms behind his head. He angrily watched the letter sitting neatly on his desk as if daring it to act against him. This was ridiculous. He stood up in a huff and stomped over to his window, where he...

    Sacrilege

    Hang on, I was just doing an intro note where I'll post a table of contents and stuff... I am in the process of copy-pasting the first chapter into the thread.

    Sacrilege

    Sacrilege This is an idea that I thought of a while ago, the Dragonborn is a Thalmor agent. With that idea in mind, this story was born. Caril is an Enchanting scholar from the Aldmeri Dominion who is sent to Skyrim and immediately told he was going to work as an undercover spy in Skyrim...

    Any Bleach (Manga) fans here?

    I'll check it out, maybe Kubo has redeemed himself over the big hole he dug himself into with the Fake Karakura Town arc and the Fullbring arc, those were just awful.

    Any Bleach (Manga) fans here?

    I used to really like it. Then fullbring happened and I haven't been able to force myself through any of it. It was just getting too ridiculous in my mind. I enjoyed it up until Aizen's ridiculous transformations and Ichigo's even more ridiculous powerups needed to defeat Aizen's...

    Skyrim Fiction Idea

    I can imagine you have a lot to do. I would not even dare starting anything on that scale without months of planning, I would be afraid to get confused and leave lots and lots of plot holes and inconsistencies in setting, tone, characterization, etc. You're basically writing your own book with...

    Skyrim Fiction Idea

    Thanks, I'm glad you liked my suggestions. Although I won't specifically request an appearance for a character because it could break up the flow of the story you're creating, I would like to know what happened with some of the named Thalmor, perhaps. Ancano could still be alive in the time...

    Fanfic-writing Tips/Sounding board

    I don't mean that every character in Skyrim should have parents or a really happy past, I just don't like it when writers throw it in for the sake of throwing it in. I am in the process of writing a story for Skyrim (which I will soon post to this site), and my main character has no family...

    Skyrim Fiction Idea

    This is quite the world you are creating, I look forward to reading this if you ever get it started. What happens to the Dunmer in this world? I can see them getting boosted due to their mer blood but they are not allies to the Dominion, so would they be some kind of middle-class citizen...

    Fanfic-writing Tips/Sounding board

    Life can be tragic, I agree with you on that but I often see people throw the "dead parents" thing into their stories very poorly, almost as a character description like "[insert name] has brown hair". They often don't handle it well and it comes off to me as an excuse more than anything else...

    Fanfic-writing Tips/Sounding board

    I take Mary Sue not to be synonymous with Self-Insert Character, though they occur largely together. Even so, too many Skyrim stories (and stories in other fandoms) have very poorly written main characters that are basically perfect to the extent of being boring and unoriginal. Too many...

    Views on the Aldmeri Dominion

    I have a weird relationship with the Dominion. They seem like such a capable army and obviously have a lot of resources, not to mention the implied cunning of their leaders. I think they are fascinating. I like them as I sit off to the side and watch events take place, I'm not sure whether I...

    Your skyrim character

    I like all the characters have a focus for but the one I like playing the most is my level 49 High Elf mage who wears legendary Daedric armor. I named her > : ( Angry Mage. Most unkillable character ever.

    Fanfic-writing Tips/Sounding board

    Maybe you could write a bit about the "show don't tell" rule, I see that WAY too often in stories everywhere. People go off on long tangents telling the reader about something, rather than letting the narrative and action speak for themselves. It get's annoying and, when I read a big...

    Empire vs Stormcloaks

    1. A duel in real life has historically been a battle for strength, just like in Skyrim. Judging by the culture of the Nords, I came to the assumption that it was some kind of swordfight. They wouldn't be having a magic duel or a verbal debate, would they? There may not have been explicit...

    Wood elves

    Sorry, my mistake. I didn't have the UESP pulled up as I wrote it down and I was thinking it had to do with some kind of blessing from Y'ffre. I suppose it is, kind of. I totally forgot about the Wild Hunts.
