Naked Playthrough with Hardmode Mods, Can it be done.

[ther1pper]

Has anyone tried a nude playthrough on master with mods like Deadly Dragons and Revenge of the enemies while on master, or am i the only one who's crazy enough to do so. Any advice on how to survive as a naked warrior, cause mage seems like the only way i can survive.

Differen't load order = different Skyrim standard.

Sort of, did a perma level 1 (meaning i never opened the skill menu at all) with no armor (wore blacksmith clothes the whole run) on master. and ASIS with its spawning set high.

 

now, idk if it was from vanilla or mods, but not all was my lvl, the druagr  at the end of Bleak falls was lvl 6, the hagraven at Orphen rock was lvl 20, so was the spider in the tunnel place near it (that starts at skybound watch) i made it thru everything, but HAD to have a follower, and to gimp myself.. it was Lydia.

Dump all level up to health, level up Alteration?

staying low level is only abusing game mecanisms to keep things easy

 

you will only face weaklings, because the npcs unlock at level 6, 9, 15... in the leveled lists, you will never see them

those weaklings don't even the +200% (or whatever it is) of master without a mod

they even have perks that nerf their damage

damage that are already minimal, because many magical effects are if player level < 5 damage = x, if player level < 10 damage = y...

 

asis spawing... it don't add difficulty, it only add more weaklings to destroy

I do not know about hardmods but "Smart Cast" will let you automate a lot of spellcasting thus allowing a "magic" warrior" to cast protective spell and augmentations without bothering to put away things like two handed weapons. A magic overhaul will then then allow for better spells to accomlish this. I use "Mighty Magic" but there are others.

try this instead of Smart cast.  Grimy Utilities - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36328/?- it does about the same, with other features too.. but you dont have to mess with rings to do the magic stuff.

[Shirobako]

Nothing special about being naked. Robes have no defense either, and the hidden value is too low to matter.

 

First of all, bring a follower or two or ten. That will prevent you from getting killcam'ed all the time. Upgrade your weapon to legendary (really high level of legendary).

Fix spawn points for bears and trolls/frost trolls are still going to spawn. Standard Falmer starts at around level 9. Even level 1 bandits has a 1.5 damage boost, but they are still weak of course.

Perma level 1 with critical skills at 100 might be able to tip the scale.

nah, none of my skills got that high when i did one, most in the 50s. 1 handed was a bit higher, i used that the most, switching to a  bow when needed.

 

when i finished the MQ, i was using a Dwarven sword with a damage enchant for melee and Zepher for ranged. anything i used was found. just having no armor, he should be ok.

my game was modded to where i was getting plenty of mobs that wernt my level. there are mods to unlevel the game. and while ASIS adding "weakilngs" still would have been  trouble considering i was spawning groups of 12-15+. (should still be a screenshot on the asis page of my spawns, was at the little camp just under the northside of Whiterun, was over 60 bandits in the group)

 

tho now i have made it worse, my lvl 6 thief found a lvl 55 draugr in Bleak falls, others that we're in the 16-25 range too. she got STOMPED if they got to touch her.  the new mod Genesis spawns things unleveled, went to the temple of Meridia, the first few rooms had lvl 25-26 bandits.. i was still lvl 12.

Thats def not true i've run across plenty of way higher mobs before no matter what level I am I have to be wearie more so on a light armored character but even my 1k+ ac sword and board tank in full ebony armor has been beaten by a single mob. Yes in vanilla skyrim its way to easy and never leveling does make a difference but maybe 1-100 folks don't install something like perma, obis, asis, deadly dragons, sands of time, immersive creatures, ect, ect, ect.

 

Point is there's tons of mods out there that affect npcs/monsters imagine this every time I leave bleak falls on my way back to riverwood I have only 3 options to returning safely because there is a lvl 50 ish permanent giant spriggan near Anise's cabin I can 1) swim across the lake 2) bolt past and hope he dont get close enough to swing before he loses sight of me or 3) cheat with one of 2 methods kill command or duck in the water before he gets to me cause he will 1 shot me on any difficulty at lvl 5-8 ish just using ranged weapons.

[Jeffrey Lane]

that bastard giant spriggan.. has gotten me a few times. should burn down it's whole forest.

Playing as a pure warrior would require perfectly timed blocking, picking enemies one by one and using terrain to your advantage. Jump on a bigger rock or even a table and AI will have a hard time getting to you. Upgrading your weapons to legendary and using alchemy will make it easier. Make space in your inventory for tons of healing potions, fortify two handed potions and paralysis poison. If you're going to use a shield then, depending on what perk overhaul you have, it should be really easy once you will level up your block to 100. You can also enchant your clothes and jewelry with fortify two handed/one handed, block, fortify health/stamina and health/stamina regenaration, assuming that you aren't literally naked.

If you have Requiem overhaul combined with OBIS 5x or 8x spawns or SkyTweak with 5x base weapon damage and 3x NPC damage scaling then, well, you are going to enter the world of pain.

 

Modded mage playthrough will be a lot easier. With Forgotten Magic and Phenderix Magic you have a few "I WIN" spells like Discord (basically Frenzy but affects higher level enemies) and Host - Dremora Lord (summons three of them).

to be honest, i only used one other playstyle during the time i played skyrim on my xbox before i upgraded to PC and that was a dual welder, so i have zero skill with blocking only attacking like crazy. I always give my characters stamina and health regen as well as magic resist, but i tend not to make my weapons past 200 even on master otherwise the game gets too easy, even with the mods, however only the dragons become a problem, even fully armored, killing me for them is easy up close, and keep in mind i'm talking about my high leveled 111 warrior character.

[NickNozownik]

Block their attack, bash them and hit when they are staggered. With enough stamina potions and enchanted gear later on it shouldn't be a problem. Naked dual wielding on master difficulty can be quite easy and fun with two fast weapons that have absorb health enchantment. I don't have Deadly Dragons mod, but maybe having a different set of anti-dragon-only armour with resist magic and resist fire/frost will help you survive. But they're a problem for a level 111 warrior character, so I'm really not sure if it will work. I never used any dragon overhauls so I'm used to mining their face off with a pickaxe.

[Taskmaster]

The difficulty slider in the game is increased incoming damage, and decreased outgoing damage.

 

Real increased difficulty would be different tactics and strategies from threats, new scenarios and dynamic engagements, that have you thinking and paying attention, formulating plans(pre-emptive, on your feet, or even reactions), etc.

 

Applied to this game: Stressing your roleplay, and challenging you to succeed while staying within your character's created RP restrictions/rules.

 

You can get that from new encounters in the game that introduce new enemy types, stronger AI, and you can also get increased incoming damage and decreased outgoing damage, roundabout, when you're up against threats that are higher level than you.

 

People talk about ways to deal with certain things in the game, but every person that's posted in this thread is playing on a different Skyrim standard, because of a different load order and plugins. And different rules they follow and have created as per what they've designed their character to be. Everyone's worldspace in the game is not going to be the same.

I do not use any rings, I just set conditions for spells to cast themself.

 

[Old Book]

The toughest play through is "Dead Means Dead." That is made easier with mods that give you effective immortality (Death Alternative, etc), but you'll still run into one hit kills and death moves that can take you out. 

Nude playthroughs? For easy mode, use potions and magic. For much harder mode, try a no-items-no-magic-no-reload play through. That should be absurdly tough.
