Unique hidden items

Post » Wed Jun 06, 2012 11:21 am

That's how I prefer it, and that's how I'd expect a human game master to do. He wouldn't allow someone to become overpowered for his level. Only thing, I would prefer a huge list of "random names" that named these items, so that it would be hard to find the "same item" in two successive gameplays.

There's so much wrong with your assessment that I think I'm going to be sick.

Just a few points before I vomit uncontrollably at your comment

1. No reasonable item in the game is overpowered, no matter what level you get it. A Daedric Sword has 14 Base damage before modifiers, An Iron Sword has 7 Base Damage.

2. Scaled items are automatically pointless regardless. If you get them beyond the highest leveled list, they are phased out extremely quickly regardless.

3. If people want to go and find a High-level item early on, why shouldn't they? It's their choice, it's their game. Arguing against this is doubly pointless as long as exploits exist anyway.

4. High-quality items can be protected by smart level design (Nonscaled enemies). If someone can fight their way through it, they earn their item. If someone cheats through it, that's their call.


In summation: Your lack of willpower is no excuse to shackle gameplay elements artificially, thus creating a world devoid of believability.



Need someone to do a mod like was in DA2, witch would levelup your Equipment when you level up.

Because Skyrim totally doesn't have Smithing.

-Windshear

Hellmouth told me about this one a while back. I use it on Dragons and tough enemies. No doubt the most OP sword in the game.

Windshear is tied to the Dark Brotherhood anyway, though kind of an Easter-egg.

False.

Predators grace? That is like fingleam, a base item with a special enchantment combination, pretty well hidden.

-Red Eagle
-Battle axe of fiery soultraps
-Notched Pickaxe
-The Longhammer
-Windshear
Another one is Trollsbane, it is not that useful but it is unique

I was going to say Diadem of the Savant but there are two of those so it's not unique.

There's more than two depending on how many times you frequent Froki's Shack. Unless it was fixed with the next patch, the Diadem of the Savant you find on the wood chopping block outside doesn't fall under the cell's "never reset" rule. I've collected about four of them just from my current playthrough.

Ahhh... The good old days when I found Chrysamere, during my exploration of Vvardenfell. I hope if there's an DLC that it adds some of the uniqe weapons of the previous games : Ice Blade of the Monarch, Chrysamere, Dawnfang and Duskfang, ect..
Exactly...

You get punished for exploration in Skyrim, clearing out a cave early can break quests or looting random chests will provide you with quest items you can never drop... I avoid all caves and dungeons unless I have a reason to enter them.

It's sad really but it's true.

Any weapon with "Frost Damage" svcks in this game :confused:

You really think so? I've been dual-wielding an Orcish Dagger of Flames and http://uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Pale_Blade, and I found it is very effective. Obviously, it has its weaknesses against many types, but I've used it to tear through Forsworn encampments.

I don't know if these are unique, but there is wieldable silverware on the back deck of the Riften player home.

I just get tired of seeing "xxx resisted frost damage" when using frost enchanted weapons and spells :confused:

Cregan Bregor, watch out for an Argonian with a large head if one of the pieces is a fork :biggrin:

I'm going to go out on an extremely thick and sturdy limb here and say that almost all of the unique and/or named items in Skyrim are pretty terrible. You can make stuff far better with Smithing and Enchanting... and the game lets you rename them.

the OP is looking for unique items that are outdoors, meaning no dungeon crawling to get to them.

All of those things are inside or you have to 1st go inside to get...red eagle is weak unless you go inside to get the true red.eagle
