Eh, 100% Chameleon kind of defeats the purpose of the difficulty rating, since the game is actually programmed for it to be impossible for an NPC to detect you (unless they have Detect Life, possibly, but I've only run into that one once and I wasn't at 100% so not sure.) You can literally walk around in broad daylight and punch guards to death and no one will notice. I have the outfit (random cuirass+enchanted amulet+Ring of Khajiti+random ring giving 120%) in my current non-uberhard file and it's just dumb. I only use it for killing stuff like Grummites that can't really kill me but have unreasonable amounts of HP. As far as the one for money, it's pretty much "duplicate expensive thing, sell expensive thing repeatedly" until you have enough cash.

Depends on how much I get done, really. I've never done this before so I don't really have a baseline, but you'll probably get a description of everything I do (even if it's fucking around in a dungeon or spending twenty minutes trying to climb a sheer cliff face.)

you fucks i told you that minmaxing is the only way to survive unless i just cheese everything with conjuration So uh, who else is actually interested?

blatant lies/10

Heavensea accepted the hand, though she tried not to put too much weight on it. She got to her haunches and used her free hand to pull the naginata back up into a half-ready position, then stood the rest of the way. Taking one hand off the weapon for a moment, she lightly brushed back the hair on either side of her face, then proceeded after her partner. "I guess you're feeling better then," she stated neutrally.

I take suggestions too, btw.

@Rusty: I don't have any real issues except with the phantasm. It's. . . really vague, at least in how it interacts with other things. For example, you could just say "oh he shoots the bond between Master and Servant," but then, is he shooting the friendship between them? Is he shooting the actual magical bond? What resists it? etc. Just a bit more on how it should interact with other stuff (and what exactly he has to phyiscally hit to, say, shoot someone's courage), since as a very conceptual ability, plus what happens if he "hits" a concept. EDIT: Another Servant. wip, currently dying of exhaustion and distracted by lolis

Title's pretty much what's going on. I'm planning on doing a runthrough of Oblivion and narrating my escapades here, but there are a fuckload some details I still haven't decided on. To explain each option: Combat/Magic/Stealth are the three divisions of skills within Oblivion. More specifically: Combat skills are Blade, Blunt, Hand-to-Hand, Athletics, Block, Armorer, and Heavy Armor. Magic skills are Destruction, Restoration, Alteration, Illusion, Mysticism, Conjuration, and Alchemy Stealth skills are Sneak, Security, Marksman, Light Armor, Acrobatics, Speechcraft, and Mercantile I should mention that I will not use Blunt (as blunt weapons are inferior to blades in almost every way, being heavier, slower, and with generally inferior reach, not to mention the availability of powerful blades vs. powerful blunt weapons.) I would vastly prefer Heavy Armor to Light after doing a playthrough with the latter. When I say an archetype, I mean the skills I'll actually use, not necessarily my chosen "major skills" which determine leveling. Good, evil, or neither is fairly self-explanatory. Good characters don't do stuff like murdering people for their hats. An evil character won't end up accepting as many miscellaneous quests because evil people aren't very helpful. A character played as neutral will do every questline and will kill an NPC if they have a particularly important/rare piece of gear and said NPC is not needed for a quest. (Evil characters also won't do the Knights of the Nine questline because it requires you to be a good little boy/girl/cat/lizard.) Special rules are possible options to make the game even harder. Permadeath is obvious. If you die, you lose. Permanent breaks mean that if you allow a piece of equipment to fall to zero durability, you may not repair it. Enchanted armor may still be worn but will likely be worthless. Archetype restriction means only using skills within your archetype (plus Acrobatics and Athletics because they're impossible to not train.) So, mages can't grab claymores and fighters won't be throwing fireballs. Not leveling optimally means leveling up whenever you can and not necessarily distributing stat points in an efficient manner. (Please don't choose this because minmaxing is the only way to survive this, other than Conjuration spam as Conjuration isn't affected by the modified damage table, so summons deal and take 1x instead of 1/6 and 6x damage.) There are a few working item duplication exploits in Oblivion. The main reason I have no issue with using them personally is that gold is only relevant for the purposes of maintaining your gear early game (and good gear almost never spawns in shops), and certain items are very hard to find more of (e.g. Black Soul Gems, Varla Stones.) You also can't duplicate weapons and armor, generally. The real purpose I'd duplicate for is to have a nice house, particularly Frostcrag Spire so I could use custom spells without having to go ALL AROUND THE GODDAMNED COUNTRY to get admission to the Mage's Guild. With that, I just have one last question. Interested?

Regent and Hasslehoof. Time: 1st Day, of the 1st Month, of the Year of Rebirth. Approximately 3:05 PM Regent began to match the minotaur's steps as best he could, breathing somewhat heavily as he shuffled around on his front legs. It looked more than a bit awkward, but that was to be expected. Hopefully the novelty of seeing an argent drake essentially doing a handstand would distract from the awkwardness of his motion. He circled opposite Hasslehoof, essentially acting as his partner at a distance, though some of the flourishes were performed with his tail, rather than flailing his legs about. Regent continued this for a few moments, then struck: he let his hind end fall downward, toward Hasslehoof's left, and stretched out his leg toward him, aiming to land a touch on his head or, failing that, his chest. After that, regardless of whether he actually made contact, he would spring backward by pushing off with his front legs, rebuilding the distance between the two.

Heavensea gasped as Symphony threw herself atop her. The detonation wasn't exactly what she had expected however, and she sighed slightly when she didn't get the opportunity to see shrapnel tear through her partner's mechanical body. However, when the Nienian went limp on top of her, a ragged edge entered the Michi's voice. "Are you okay? Please, you need to stop risking yourself for my sake. . ."

Claude's group "I don't really care where we start, so you can pick. Any one of these could be the one that's holding back so it doesn't really matter where we start." His tone grated over "holding back" slightly. While he was in the Breeder program for a reason, he still didn't like being so far outclassed in anything, and it showed.

lexi is semi-kill at the moment, fyi, so updates are gonna be slow EDIT: Do you want a Shou update or should I wait for Lexi (who will probably be around within a week?)

Touhou Hisoutensoku is pretty good in my limited experience.

everyone's rolling 5*s and i'm just sitting here, glaring at my latest Boudica

...fight somebody? like it's a group battle i would think that's self-explanatory.

Sora visibly flinched at Evelyn's glare. Looking down, he replied in his usual faint voice, "N-no, I don't." After a moment or two of silence, however, took a breath and was about to speak when he noticed motion out of the corner of his eye. "S-Seema-san?! What happened?"

Heavensea almost lost her balance between the weapon in her hand being jerked about - she hadn't intended for it to lodge in the man - and dodging the other sent hurtling toward her head. She backed up a few steps to give herself some breathing room, then took up a ready stance while circling slowly toward where the woman had ensconced herself behind a table. Concern showed on her face; the man should have been on the ground whimpering in pain, not getting ready to box her - not that she felt that was a threat, with her massive reach advantage.

Claude's group Kage made an exasperated noise. More questions? Really? Whatever, man. At least we get to play tug of war, I guess. "If we're gonna do this, we should do it in pairs. That way we can get the questions answered fast but we still have someone to work together with." And that way I don't have to read the papers, he added silently. "Anyone else have an issue with that?"

's not like the thread is 75% anime characters, or anything like that.
