Changing suggestion to simply "Not Atronach". Don't care about the rest. Just want to see magic use made a non pain in the arse.

I'm like....old now

Somewhat tangential, but you might check out binaural beats. I've had pretty good study luck with SBaGen before, m'self. Have to play around a bit to see what sample or mix of samples (running two or three concurrently makes for some interesting times) works for you, but it might be worth a shot. Can also try running them in concert with actual music. Done that before, can be neat.

It'll be me to start. My usual copilot is going to be indisposed for a while, so figured it was as good a time as any to try this interactive play-through thing.

Oh, and regarding abusing hoptoad or superjumps... I should add that I'm going to at least ATTEMPT an Ironman Run. And if that doesn't work out, we might just take over as our companion if we die (assuming we have any). Depends on a few things, though; namely just how deadly this set of mods will be.

Mm. Well, hoptoad's fairly safe with a little bit in the way of acrobatics and some practice (and you can always just spell craft your way up to a decent jump. Even smaller magnitude jump/acro boosts can be pretty useful for getting around.). A handful of featherfall/levitation potion panic buttons makes it a non-danger. I think my 10-12th level critter using fair regen was using it as <gender pronoun>'s primary means of transportation without any trouble.  Going over those big mountains in the middle of the island is a pretty good way to get around, and as mentioned it's much more dynamic and interesting than just levitating around. Or walking

Can either jump from peak to peak, or jump up one side and then slide down the other. The latter's safer until you get acrobatics up there, o'course. And still fun Can feel a bit like playing Tribes, ha.

Ideally, you have it just strong enough you take a little damage on the fall and both acrobatics and restoration as either minor or non-core skills, since the damage and the healing does a good job of training both of them pretty well. Pleasing and practical!

Superjump's a bit trickier, ha.

And, of course, go with whatever's most comfortable to you. It'll be fun to watch someone else play... hopefully. Even if you don't strip Seyda Neen to the floorboards

Once, just once, I want to hear some beat dropper drive by shaking the land with Tchaikovsky. I could die happier after that.

Honestly, if you're going for something like that a hot bath is the best. If you've got a tub, anyway. Get one of those long straws and you can potentially do it with your head under the water, too.

Or... a hot spring. Wish there was one closer to where I'm at, that. Entirely too... whatever they are. You melt. Feels sooooo goooooood. "*dissolves into a drooling puddle of relaxation*" good.

Why in the name of the nonexistent gods does hot water feel so good to immerse yourself in, anyway?

Re: Stone alchemy: Six points for 5% resall, 10% all dam+5%spellcrit, or +30 stats (+5 per stat). Throw in a prodigy and you triple those numbers (base 30% resall with thick skin? Sign me up!). It's hefty, and that's ignoring sexy beasts like the Wozzname Rock. Can also just ignore imbue and go 5/5 extract and rake in the money. Two or three extra merchant artifacts is potentially worth a cat point and a few generics.

And yeah, imbue/extract run off raw (unless you went 4/5 in imbue for some odd reason? The fifth tier artifact gems are half the fun of getting that talent maxed.). So five points in imbue (6 total) gets you access to fifth tier gems for imbuing. The cat point more than the generics is the expensive part.

... haven't even seen that movie. Unintentional reference, goooo!
