Видео

Unfortunately I'm not very good with the technical side of Lorerim or individual mods themselves. This may be a good discord question. If I recall correctly, this specific video was captured in the Ultra setting (unlike my other videos) with the default cabbage enb (biggie's version) for Lorerim 2.0.

Thanks! And yeah, I was in the same boat. I had to look over discord for information. I intend to cover as much of the discord stuff as possible with this series, including hotkeys and save/load.

:O Sorry, this was a new series I created to gradually make videos to help new players and later experiment with various magic related stuff. More episodes will come soon as I create them but unfortunately I don't have the ability to make all of them quickly as there are lots of things I plan to cover. x_x this one 16 min video actually took me most of the day to create with editing and whatnot. Sorry for the inconvenience, if anything, you could just come back after some time and hopefully by then I'll have enough uploaded for you to binge. :)

@@Mikezodia i was joking mate, im just loving learning. One note: dont assume we know things like “blood knight” or what magic one handed builds exist. Breaking down the basics like you do really helps :)

@ :D Ah. I am glad you are enjoying the series then! And yeah, I suppose that means at some point I may have to include an overview video on the builds as well. I was going to save the closer look at each build later since that would require its own episode to really showcase. x_x But I guess I could create a bunch of early game characters to sorta give an example how each one functions.

No problem! I am glad you like them! Hopefully the future ones will help out too.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed them!

Ah. I heard this from both Lorerim discord players and comments on here. Apparently you need to show you are a 'capable wizard' to be considered for promotion. 🤔 Perhaps I don't have to if you're playing Lorerim on a recent version and its not making you side quest. Just to verify, you didn't do ANY other quest except the main storyline ones, correct?

Thanks and I am glad you found it helpful! And yes, please stay tuned, I will add more content gradually for this series. Some stuff may be common knowledge, but others may interest you.

Full Destruction can be lots of fun, especially once you start lobbing the big spells at clusters of enemies. Not to mention, because of how Lorerim handles the magic system, magic can be extremely powerful compared to it's vanilla counterpart. The main two things to mention are: 1) Enchanting tree can be very helpful. 2) Play carefully around Archers, especially crossbow ones, as you can get one shot quite easily in cloth armor early on.

Hey! Thanks for this feedback! It's definitely something I want to look into for you. By any chance, could you give me a reference point in the video I can use as an example? There are two things that may be an issue... first I use push to talk, so sometimes I may activate/release it at poor timings, leading to words getting cut off. This is especially true if I have to respond to something in combat. Other times, I literally stop mid sentence due to a brain fart (sorry, ADD here). If it's not one of these, it's probably a mic issue I'll have to deal with so having a reference point will help a lot! Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention though! In general, I'll try to talk a bit more clearly and be more conscious of my push to talk.

​@@MikezodiaI don't want to sound like i was complaining, those few seconds were hardly a bother; I'm rewatching the video to give you a timestamp, but it's 2 hours and it's taking me a long time

@@Andre-720 XD No no, it's fine. Commentary is an important part of a Lets Play, so being able to hear me properly is crucial. And if you can not find it, do not worry. When you mentioned it was every few minutes, I got worried that it was majority of the video and I wasn't able to pick it up on my end so I wanted an example. :) I'll just try to be more careful with my Hotkeys to avoid cutting out midsentence if that is the issue.

​@@Mikezodia no i was definitely exaggerating, though i managed to find one in the part i remembered 1:52:56

@@Andre-720 Ty! Yes, I see what you mean now. This is poor timing with holding down the push to talk key. This can be due to a hectic combat situation, or simply me not being conscious that I released the push to talk key. Ty for pointing this out though as I need to fix this habit. XD I was unable to bind the push to talk on Ctrl or Shift as they are common keys in Skyrim, so I use the middle mouse (which is power attack and not really applicable with the current build). So sometimes the mouse wheel also slips out of the pressed state. Either way, I'll work on fixing this. Ty for taking the time to show me exactly what you meant!!

He was actually my go to vanilla favorite. I haven't tried him in Lorerim due to his price range. :D I'll have to consider him as well.

Btw, u should try to use the follower menu more frequently, instead of leaving poor Inigo to die eternally you can tp him to you once he falls

Yes! More lessons will be released in the future. At first just basic stuff and then more closer look at builds and different ways to make things.

Thanks! As for the other quests, I am always up for suggestions. Just let me know which you prefer seeing and give me the about level range you think I should be to handle it. Also, where to go to start the quest would help too.

@Mikezodia Well I believe for project AHO you need to go to Mixwater mill at around level fifteen where in you'll get attacked by a crazy orcish slaver named Shaglak who'll eventually knock you out and take you to Sadrith Kegran where you'll be put up for auction. Next for clockwork from what I read you have to be level five and you'll eventually get a random encounter where you come up on an apparition which will initiate the quest but keep in mind once you actually get to the clockwork mansion you won't be able to leave until you complete the storyline. So annoyingly you essentially have to wait to get this random encounter and there's seemingly no set location but apparently if you travel a lot around Skyrim you'll eventually get the random encounter so my advice is when you want to start just don't use fast travel and go exploring for a while until it happens. Lastly from what I remember for Sirenroot you start the quest by going to Elgrim's elixirs in Riften where you'll have to talk to an NPC Frissa Black-Briar and FYI there's no level requirement for this questmod as it's a very dialogue centric quest where you'll predominantly be solving puzzles and platforming with a major focus on water mechanics so definitely have the underwater breathing spell. Oh just as an aside you should one hundred percent do the blood on the ice quest so you can get the necromancers amulet.

@Mikezodia Hey just one more thing you should really switch back to Mannimarco because once you reach maximum devotion you're undead deal more damage and regenerate health based on your level of favor which is pretty good. Alright keep up the good work and hey for some reason my first reply to your comment got removed and I have no clue why but I hope you still got it.

@ Unfortunately this is the only reply I got. o_o no idea. Either way, ty for info. I'll consider grabbing mannimarco again.

@@Mikezodia Oh man that sucks, well I guess I'll repeat it so in order to start the project AHO mod you have to go to Mixwater water mill around level fifteen where you'll encounter an NPC named Shaglak which will initiate the quest. For clockwork you'll have to be level five and it's a random encounter that initiates the quest so I'm sure you'll stumble up on it eventually in the wild. Lastly for sirenroot you'll have to go to Elgrim's elixirs in Riften where in order to kick off the quest you'll need to talk to Frissa Black-Briar and there's no level requirement.

You must read the tome for required number of hours to 'learn the spell'. Once a spell is learned via spell tome, the tome is no longer needed. The spell is added to your magic list under TAB. You can equip it on the left and right mouse buttons like most weapons and can hotkey them as well.

@@Mikezodia Alright, thanks. I was wondering if you could skip the study (like it really matters) by casting the absorb knowledge spell if you dropped the tomes on the floor.

@ Oh, my mistake, I read that entirely wrong. it's late on my end. No, you can not learn spells by casting absorb knowledge AFAIK. Also, if a book would give you a quest (like red eagle's), it will not activate with absorb knowledge... so careful on missing out on quests.

Ah Auri, yeah she is one of my two main companions I used on a previous character. And that is a valid replacement for Inigo once I get expert lockpicking spell as she has two inventories. She could carry lots of stuff.

You can ask her to use daggers in the "let's talk about traveling together" dialogue, still her specialty is obvious bows

@@quironakatsuki9962 I didn't know that about the daggers

I could talk about it in future videos, but that would be a bit later, when Im targeting very specific build paths and spell schools. As for your question, the only time you would want to hold perks is if you do not want or are not ready for the next tier spells. This can be because the spells in the next tier are something you do not plan to use (such as melee focused builds) or the spells are too costly for your current magicka pool. Most players would prefer to use the higher tier spells and find ways to manage their magicka consumption, but some (like myself), don't mind spamming weaker spells at smaller enemies until I get better magicka management to run stronger tier. But saying that, you generally always want to aim to use a higher tier as soon as your magicka pool can support it in a hectic fight. Also, when I mention the above, I am using destruction as an example. Other schools may have different rules. For example, Conjuration spells usually last a while and don't require 'spamming', so the higher cost doesn't really matter nearly as much... so getting next tier would be good. In case of illusion, if you're using frenzy, the higher tier spells allow you to target higher level enemies, so getting the next tier spell becomes more important. But if you're using illusion for stealth builds and to get spells like Blend... you can probably get away with not tiering up right away and focus on your one hand / sneak perks. ** Incase you missed it in the intro video, also remember that placing a perk point in one tier, reduces the cost of spells in the NEXT tier by 25%. This will be overwritten by the usual 50% when perking normally. Just figure I throw it out there in case you missed it.

Where is teh next episode? its been 7 hours already. its the weekend, i want to binge 20 episodes. thx.

@ XD sorry. This is one of those slower series to create as I need to plan the order to show things and what to show. lol. I am glad you enjoyed it though. I will try to create another episode soon. :)

XD Yeah, honestly I found it out recently as well. And no worries, I plan to upload more episodes over time to cover more topics and dive into spell combinations and approaches to various builds. May be things most people know but sometimes you may find a a useful bit of info in the bunch.

Thanks! Hopefully future videos may have some useful information for you as well!

Yeah, I have to admit some spells are just "wow". As for other spells, my goal with this series is to somehow find ways to apply it. Especially Illusion school since I can see potential for crazy combinations over there.

LoL. Yeah, this character was for testing so had to max that destruction tree up. XD

Ty. Quick reminder that this video was released back in 2.0 version of the game. Some things were changed/removed. However, the Absorb Knowledge and Giant slaying still applies. I have an even faster leveling video on channel if needed.

XD Ty. Yeah, I got lucky with that Spriggan Reanimation. Sometimes I ask myself why I don't just mix and match the conjuration, using spriggans with skeletons. But then I ask if that would be a true 'Necromancer' lets play. As of now I've only used necromancer themed summons and outside summons were scroll based so I couldn't really abuse it.

Hmm. I wasn't worried about the robes nearly as much as becoming archmage since that's a one time chance, either you get it or you miss it. But I wasn't aware of what quests you need to do to become one. You said it involves other magic schools... do you mean I need to get quests from the other mage instructors?

Wow. That's going to be tough. Yeah, maybe I should target some other questline. I might consider Oghma Infinium.

Yeah, Morvath is a tough fight. I did it last night in my level 28 Heavy Shout Nord with upgraded Silver Hammer and 4 Followers and it was still a hard enough fight that I had to retreat a couple times to heal. I think if I had had the Fire Breath shout it would have gone a little quicker.

@@genxmonk70 you just need to have some kind of persistent dps(cloacks are the cheaper ones) in order to counter the ammount they heal(a lot)

@GodOfCatsX I mean, I chose massive dps and it worked well. But as a developing Necromancer that isn't using giant silver hammers or destruction magic, it'll be rough for Mike

@ well bound weapons count as silver too soo if he can get hands on a bound warhamer book he will have waaay less problems

@GodOfCatsX I thought Bound counted as Daedric with a fire buff, interesting.

XD Yeah I have a habit of not fully looking at the corpse before wasting magicka on it. Believe the same happens if you chop off a limb.

Ty! :D Im familiar with necromancer amulet, only reason I didn't get it is because I've been health dumping and that amulet requires magicka investment. However, I don't recall band of the wraith. Is that better than my current ring?

Btw, I am not sure if u know this but two things: 1-If u don't spend all the points when u lv up the remaining points are accumulated on the next lv, like u get 30 per lv up, if don't expend anything once u lv up again u will have 60 points to use 2-Getting the agility perk from evasion will make so clothes have 100 armor rate per piece, it won't show on the item but you can see the difference on the overall armor rate on the bottom of the inventory

​​@@Mikezodiatrue I forgot about that, guess you could aim for Gauldurs Amulet as a place holder then 🤔, the band of wraith is from the assault on the ice fortress quest and it's veeeery good for conjuration, to start the quest you need to travel to a boat (SW from the boat that takes u to castle volkihar) I think there was a book there that started the quest or u just take the boat directly, can't remember it now. The quest doesn't take too long, but there are lot of side locations to explore, the ring in question is a reward for defeating the final boss though, nothing related to these side locations

Let him know I love his nightblade build. Looking forward to seeing his Bard approach.

:) Don't worry. It seems most of the regular watchers of this series is voting for it to continue. So I'll hold off on the update. I actually enjoy playing Necromancer, my biggest concern was always 1) are people enjoying the series still and 2) will the new update make any video guides I make inaccurate. Since it seems 3.1 didn't many any drastic changes, I can continue working on my mage guide series on the side without worry.

:O Ty for the heads up. Hopefully I can beat it with what I have. Worst case scenario, I can try stalling long enough to get the key.

Could be, Im not familiar with the xbox version. Lorerim adds a massive amount of mods that changes so much.

yeah there is no need to update im still at 3.0.17 and no bugs just finish this character then if you want you update and do another character
