Hey everyone. I've been role playing my character and finished all the quests I want to do. Now, I seek to destroy everyone in every city, and I thought why not make a Sauron build. Now I'm wondering, what I should do? All my skills are up to 100. No, I did not cheat lol I actually worked my way up there. I did the loop glitch with alchemy so I have the ability to become indestructible if I want. So I'm asking, should I fortify my ring to infinite one hand damage and my armor to infinite armor rating?


What I'll be using: All Daedric armor and using Mace of Molag Bal


Also, I'm playing on Xbox (legendary mode) so no mods!!

You can forget this idea. No mods - there are essential characters (unkillable) and there are children (also unkillable and don't go there).

I wouldn't do it, because I tend to side with BretonSpellsword.

Anyway, Sauron was about more than just swinging a dirty great big spiky mace. For example: he or the ring was good at turning foe against foe. A certain school of magic springs to mind.

Yeah Sauron was more about domination than destruction. If you want destruction roleplay his master Morgoth.

I'm aware of this. I just meant those that are killable.

I also plan on using destruction and Illusion (more so Illusion).

Morgoth was also into domination. He sought rule of Arda , even wanting the other Vala to submit to him.

It's still a bad idea. As soon as your character starts attacking innocents, there will be bounty and it will grow if you pursue this.

If you want to play an evil character, then have them join the Stormcloaks and they can undermine the human's ability to resist conquest by the Thalmor (this is what the Stormcloaks are for (whether they or their fans see it or not)).

so? if hes killing all the towns NPCs (as in, most of the people who could even act on that bounty), and since he clearly says he plans to resto-loop, there is not a single thing he has to worry about a bounty for lol

This lol. I'm not worried about the bounty.

Your game, your choice. Of course, choices often have consequences - but still - it is your choice in how to play your game.

Yes.......if you just want the thrill of a red mist rising, kill 'em all insane murder spree.......why not!


Fortify Resto Loop ANY piece of armour to some ludicrous value and one weapon to some insane stratospheric damage and you are good to go. Any npc who does not instantly die is essential so ignore them then and carry on.....bounty? pah! Get the biggest bounty you can


With Armour of 20,000 and if you really feel the need potions of 1000%, it doesn't matter how many guards are shooting at you.....anyways they are all gonna be dead in half a minute eh!


It the kind of play that is huge fun.....once!


So go on.....get it out of your system...KILL KILL KILL AHHHHHHH

Don't forget to slaughter all the NPCs outside the cities and towns (farmers, inn keepers, travelers) and then go after the bandits, Thalmor, Falmor, and Forsworn.

Hmmm... this'll take long enough that all those pesky guards will start to respawn. Your killing spree may turn into an infinite loop - have fun!

As if 20,000 armour makes much of a difference versus 2% of that....

Shins.....well of course it does!

19000 armour can be beaten

21000 armour is total protection

I thought everyone knew that


But since you are being more...literal (which is unusual for my countrymen)

2% is only AR 400, which means you can still be one hit killed on Legendary


Metaphorically....you just need to be a tank!

In any case the Resto loop process racks up big values very fast so without even trying an AR of 20-30, 000 would just appear as fast as a more sane 600.

Conservatively.....anything over three figures and your done.

OP, I gotta ask; do you want to RP as Sauron, the Lord of the Rings, or Generic Evil Knight Dude? Because the whole "wholesale slaughter for funsies" thing is very far from Sauron's established character.

In his beginning, he was Mairon the Admirable (remember that Sauron means 'the abhorred'), chief among the Maia of Aule. He is one of the best architects, smiths and craftsmen in Arda; he taught the Noldor much of advanced smithing and jewelcrafting, and many of his works, not including the Ruling Ring, are known to be immensely powerful and magically enhanced - you're looking at Smithing and Enchanting.

He was also a master of speech and psychology; he duped every elf save Gil-galad and Galadriel into believing that he was a benevolent teacher, and he corrupted the Numenoreans into worship of Morgoth even when the knew just who and what he was - Speech up the wazoo.

Magicwise, he is described as such: "Sauron was become now a sorcerer of dreadful power, master of shadows and phantoms, foul in wisdom, cruel in strength, misshaping what he touched, twisting what he ruled, lord of werewolves; his dominion was torment." Werewolf in this case, refers to a malignant spirit, possible lesser Maiar, in the shape of a monstrous wolf. He also becomes a snake and a vampire bat, and takes on a fair form several times. When he was crippled enough that he couldn't take on a fair form, he shaped a body that was the black knight in Jackson's prologue, and had enough destructive power that he burned the last of the great elf kings alive with his touch. Alteration and Illusion, certainly.

He also controlled the weather, tanked divine lightning bolts and mastered necromancy, especially of incorporeal undead - lightning and fire based destruction, and Conjuartion, obviously.

We don't know how great a combatant he was; Huan had the advantage of prophecy, and Sauron, Gil-galad and Elendil were in mutually-assured death. Artwork agrees that Morgoth and Sauron wore plate armor; possibly in emulation of Morgoth, Sauron may have used a mace, though in his fair form he probably wore opulent robes.

Basically, he's the ultimate control freak. He never indulged in wholesale butchery unless it fit his plans or to make a statement; he's purely Lawful Evil.

Also, don't be fooled by the movie. Sauron had a physical body ever since he established himself in Mirkwood in the first millenia of the Third Age, possibly for longer. He was never a giant eyeball, that is purely a movie invention.

This basically what I meant to say but not in so many words when I said he was more into domination. My LOTR lore is rusty.
