The Adventures of Hess: The Argonian Shieldbearer

Post » Wed Sep 24, 2014 1:39 am

Hey Everyone,

Lately I've been doing a playthrough with a new Argonian character type I like to call "Shieldbearer" on twitch. The rules of this build are simple, fists and shields are the only weapons I'm allowed to use. No swords, no bows, and no destruction magic. To supplement this build, I'm allowed to use Alteration and Restoration Magic as well as my shouts and potions. Aside from that, though, the combat is almost purely my shield and fists. I should also note that alot of what makes this build viable is the great "SkyRe" mod that reworks unarmed combat to have a ton of great perks that help make it much better, as well as alot of great shield based perks. Check it out sometime!

Playing this character has been a REALLY great time for me, and I wanted to share some of my favorite moments with you guys, so I thought I'd post them here. I didn't see any rules against posting videos here, but if there are please let me know and I'll take down the videos and instead just talk about my experiences with text.

That's just a few of my favorite moments in this playthrough, but I'm bound to have many many more fun times. I want to keep this thread as a sort of journal, so I'll keep posting more fun stuff as it happens.

Still not clear on the fine line between advertising and submitting content. I removed the twitch links, is that OK?

Here are the rules about linking to websites, as stated in the pinned thread at the top of this forum:

"Please do not use these forums to advertise your non-Elderscrolls, Fallout or Bethesda developed or produced related forum/website/You Tube site. We make exceptions however, as many people like to post links to websites in the Community Discussion forum such as showing off their work, or linking to something funny or a link to illustrate a point. We do not allow threads to be created for things such as classified advertising for business, or buying/selling, swapping, game codes, general items or to seek users/moderators for your personal forum."

Yep, I read those carefully before posting. I must be misinterpreting them. I thought my post was OK because it was not "non-Elderscrolls" related material. Is this not the case? I can kinda understand how the twitch channel could be seen as advertising since I don't do only Skyrim stuff on it, but I'd think the video links are OK since they are 100% Skyrim related, yes?

I think it's okay now, since you're just linking videos about it.

Hope so! I don't want to be breaking any rules. If any mods have issues with this thread, please let me know and I'll make the necessary changes. Otherwise, if this is all OK as is, I'd appreciate it if a mod could cleanup all the rules talk above so I can keep this thread on track. :)
