Here is my newest character after literally like 5+ months of not playing Skyrim. Its longest break I had from the game, but a much needed one.

As a warning, don't click if you don't like anime waifus :P That pretty much tells you what kind of character SHE is. So don't go complaining at me lol.

The glowing borders around the model make it look like the head is floating several inches in front of the body.

yeah I noticed that in the screenshot. It didn't show up in-game like that, so probably a weird ENB thing or something. Or maybe its how the screenshot was timed. I have a lot better places in Skyrim to take screenshots from anyway, I just wanted to show the character.

What? No. Anu is the Godhead.

Nah, Teneb, the player is the Godhead. The world exist only in his mind, a fleeting fantasy that creates places, people, and meaning. When he wakes from the dream, they cease to exist.

fuck that

Regarding Enderal's combat, I'm pretty much going full mage on this one. Many encounters can be made much easier by bathing your opponents in a mix of fire and lightning until your magic bar is empty before hitting their faces with a sword. Ordinarily in Skyrim, I'd save some for healing(actually, not really), but in Enderal that's actually bad since instant healing spells/potions actually hurt you in the long run.

Also, check your difficulty setting, I'm playing on Normal.

It doesn't help that Enderal's close quarters combat relies heavily on blocking and 'bashing', but you can't block if you have a spell in your offhand. So being a hybrid mage/fighter is really just you swapping between spells and sword+shield.

Now that statement reminds me of Morrowind. Sword and board or jazzhands: The eternal question.

It's a bit silly though, because you CAN block if you have a sword + empty hand. What we need is a mod that adds in blocking on middle click or something, so I can still block with my sword as usual even if I'm ready to toss an ice bolt at someone.

Casting spells with the shield hand shouldn't be impossible if the shield is strapped to the forearm.

Speaking of spell and shields, the only proper way to Battlemage is this. Be Breton, get a decent shield, decent heavy armour and a decent destruction spell, stack up on shields, destruction and heavy armour perks and load up levels into Magicka/Stamina and proceed to be night-invincible fire/ice/whatever spitting pillar of doom that runs around and knock people out into sky with his shield, can fuck people up just by bashing and if you ever run out of juice you can hide nearly forever with your shield in a corner.

The issue with even that build Kot is... well...

If your not two hand casting, your wasting a spell. It is the only way to go from underpowered magic to "decent".

As for which kind of magic to focus on... Electric is resisted by the least and is hit scan. Though I focused on all three:

Ice being the worst because most enemies in the game are immune or resistant to it, and it isn't always obvious that an opponent will be immune. With only one enemy being weak to it (as I believe even fire dragons are either resistant or not weak). There are huge swaths of enemies immune to it and it isn't because of the setting. All Machines are immune, all undead are resistant, vampires are immune, half of all dragons are resistant, Most guards and some NPCs are resistant, quite a few animals are resistant, and incorporeal enemies are immune. (In fact... I think there is a shorter list of enemies who aren't immune or resistant to Ice... then there are enemies who take full damage or are weak to it)

Where Lightning the only enemy who has any sort of resistance... is immune to it and is a rare enemy you might fight once or twice in your entire run. Though no one is really weak to it.

Fire is resisted by a few enemies, two are weak. and only one rare enemy is immune.

It's a good idea but, in enderal at least, I haven't yet FOUND a shield.
