SKYRIM NECROMANCY ONLY CHALLENGE IS BROKEN - Skyrim is a Perfectly Balanced game with no exploits

Necr0Danc3r This made me wheeze

Well played, Berry would be proud

That moved my nose hairs

note that one of those hats is a glowing crown in a land where magic is a thing...
this isn't even the most broken exploit of this game, and it's very time-consuming(and relatively risky) to get your hands on the relic, but the end result is an everlasting immortal army that keeps on growing so there is no counterplay to this except using another exploit(like the infinite power of Riano Keeves, achieved by exploiting potions and enchanting loops)

Skyrim is the fifth elder scrolls game. All the elder scrolls games non MMO share the trait of exploitable. They just didn't feel the need to waste energy preventing exploits since people will make exploits if they can't find them. Might as well allow them.

@@ardentwombat3465 Uhh, what? That's 100% not why.
There's countless areas where you can fall aimlessly through the map, which have been there since release day. So you're telling me that you imagine they never fixed that because some player would just make their own glitch so they can fall through the map anyway?

@@ossiehalvorson7702 That is a problem all 3d games suffer. The more complex the world the more it will happen.

@@ardentwombat3465 It's not some mystical thing that just happens because it's 3D, it's generally a symptom of a flawed collision detection system. Most developers will improve it to where you'd have to put a lot of effort into making it happen.
Bethesda just never cared to bother with it, probably because it's a graphically updated version of the same antiquated engine they've been using for six games across nearly three decades meaning it would take actual effort to modernize.

Historic facts.

This is canon now, I will have it no other way.

virgin "worm king" vs chad *BONE RAISER*

All the villains in Skyrim are actually the result of previous players in alternate universes having played the game and used different exploits to create them, including but not limited to: Alduin, Karstaag, Bandit Chief (you know the one, 🤣), Ebony Warrior, and Miraak.

same lol.

Almost every build is in some way, shape or form exploitable in Skyrim. It’s one of the many reasons that makes it as repayable as it is, at least for me.

Same here until my third play through. Then I decided to play with stuff I had previously ignored. And all h3ll broke loose.

All Elder Scrolls games are broken. In Daggerfall you can create a god right from the character creation screen if you know what you’re doing.
In morrowind you can create an exceptionally strong person at the class creation part, then make 300k gold robbing the vivec city vaults and proceed to enchant craft busted ass gear.
In oblivion your character is always shit but you can still craft busted ass spells.

@@jprec5174 In Oblivion you can easily acquire the mats for 100% chameleon gear that lets you sneak attack on every attack and be completely immune to retaliation.

Welcome to the elder scrolls

Just because something is unbalanced does not make it a bug. Poorly balanced is not equivalent to buggy. Buggy games are often poorly balanced, but not all poorly balanced games are buggy. And for those of us who could not possibly care less about balance in a single player game...

Yyyyeeeeeesssssss

This is utterly horrifying

Not gonna lie, that's god damn terrifying.

It just works

their fault, they had 24 hours to run away and instead decided to just stare at me

Well Yh, Mods are said ‘to ruin the game’ for a reason 😂

i did it the "normal" way with summon thrall and minorne, her body never turns to ash, and she also summons undead, so i can get 4 undeads, 2 of which never expire

There are some things that shouldn't be re-written in games. I like the auto sort mod so I can get empty automatically and re-supply based on the best stuff I've found. Resurrecting the slain also works too.

The spell is probably just a modified version of dead thrall, the bodies don't turn to ash so you can resurrect them again if they die

It just works

I wonder if they could defeat Alduin themselves? That'd be pretty cool to see.

@@avaroxramzy9067 alternatively senza

Kevbo2040 a chip and a chair

Can you explain

@@yuvalron324 well the restoration glitch is that when you improve your restoration skill it also improves all your skills for some reason. So you use the exploit of crafting gear that buffs your alchemy to then create stronger enchanting potions , repeat process till you get potions that improve your enchanting of like 5000% + to create alchemy enchanted gear to create potions of restoration that improved said skill 125163% + so after that when you pop said potion before using the Ritual Stone power it makes its aera of effect 125163% wider and duration also. So you basically can reanimate everything you killed on the whole damn map ( almost ) and have them fight for you for like over 1000 in game hours. When they die you just repeat process and reanimate them again.
You can also use this restoration with spells like Flame Aura , when combined with the exploit, the moment you activate it, you are basically a nuclear bomb that blows up, lets say you go in a dungeon, as soon as you walk in, pop the potion then hit Flame Aura and instantly everything hostile in the whole dungeon is dead.

@@Death_by_Kim_Yoohyeon make a YT short proving that effect and since it's ur idea so u should showcase it. imagine ur walker horde coming to find u from all over the map.

wont that kill your army afterwards though?

@@strav8337 the undead controlled die a long time after, as they cast Dread Zombie, but the main benefits are that A: Arch necromancers are extremely powerful mages in their own right. And B: they actively reanimate and summon as combat goes on, keeping your army topped off

theirs no other way for necromancy to get broken... but if it was necromancy ONLY this would be a whole different, vicious kind of animal... btw dragonborn adds a ring that turn these boys into a nuclear winter bomb.

Personally i find pure Necromancy a bit too boring, adding other skills like Illusion or Destruction is so much fun.

you can add some necormany mods, including one that makes you a lich, and become a realy lich king

Sigurd RP run

For a less limited necromancy experience, maybe you can try diablo 2. It's still a little bit limited, but allows much more freedom than what i've typically seen in almost every other game. It basically works like this:
Every skill can be leveled up to max 20 (not excluding bonus skill points from items). For your undead army, you have three main skills:
Raise skeleton:
With this skill you turn the corpse of an enemy into a skeleton that fights for you until it dies or you leave the game. For the first three skill points, you get +1 max skeleton, after that you gain an additional +1 max skeleton every 3 points. So at level 1 you would have a single skeleton, then at level 2 you'd have two skeletons, lvl 3, 4, 5 = three skeletons, lvl 6, 7, 8 = four skeletons, lvl 18, 19, 20 = eight skeletons. You can of course increase this further, by wearing items that give your character + to all skills or + to raise skeleton.
Raise skeleton mage:
Works exactly the same as raise skeleton, the only difference is that you get mages instead and they have their own completely seperate max count so if you level both raise skeleton and raise skeleton mage up to level 20, you can have a total of 16 skeletons.
Revive:
Revives the corpse of a monster to fight for you for 180 seconds and gives that monster a considerable buff to health and damage. Every point adds +1 to max amount of raised monsters, so at level 20 you could have 20 resurrected monsters. Add the skeletons to that and your army will consist of a total of 36 undeads, and that is without any items to boost your skill levels past the 20 point limit. Only downside is that the revived monsters will always die after 180 seconds and they cost a lot of mana.
You can even switch back to pre-expansion mode in d2r, which gets even more crazy, because there literally every single point in raise skeleton or raise skeleton mage adds +1 to their respective max number, so with both skills at level 20 you would literally have 20 skeletons and 20 mages, 40 undeads in total (again, not taking into account any potential skill bonuses from items which could boost the skill levels up to even much crazier amounts). However, they would also be much weaker and die a lot more frequently because, unlike d2lod, the original d2 raise skeleton/mage skills do not buff the skeletons and mages, additional points in those skills just add more and that's literally it, so they become quite weak in lategame. But if all you want is a huge af army, that might be the right way to go.
It's certainly what got me into necromancy and thanks to that, nowadays whenever I play a fantasy game I always try to play as necromancer and get as many undead minions as possible. Unfortunately haven't seen any game yet with the same level of undead army building as d2 allowed without having to resort to exploiting.
