Nah, I always get the ebony dagger from character creation just to get around that. I was just having terrible rolls.

When I wanted to get around materials I a basic open spell. You should have a full set of daedric (or whatever end-game quality is) after a few nights. Or stop whenever you're comfortable.

Magic was not well balanced in that game.

You can also have FISTS of PUNCHING EVERYTHING, because that makes sense.

Got wasted by a red slime. Thing just would not die. It might have been a super slime(noted by the star-shaped pom-pom), but I couldn't tell. It shanked me from behind as I tried to run and eat some hops to heal.

The mage's guild wants lich dust. I explore the entire left branch of the dungeon before finding it in the right side, sleeping liberally to restore spell points. I emerge from the dungeon and check my spell book to find out the time limit was 10 days. I arrive in Ripmarket to a message telling me I was too late.

I still made it by reloading and fast-travelling recklessly; good thing I always make plenty of saves.

Got stuck in dialogue mode while both an Elder Dragon and Ancient Dragon melted my face off.

Also, after reloading the save, trying to fight both an Elder Dragon and Ancient Dragon. Because, you know, two very high-leveled dragons.

I met a werewolf in Ripmarket while waiting for the fighter's guild to open. For some reason, I thought monsters in town at night was just an Arena thing.

You didn't stop to wonder why they called it "Ripmarket"?

Did he have a Chinese menu in his hand?

I reached level fifteen while (sigh) closing yet another Oblivion Gate. Apparently, this means that dremora can now summon daedroth. This is Bad News.

And that is best achieved by leaving it uninstalled?


For my own death: just attrition. I spread my gals a bit thin opening up a new base, and took too many injuries during a mission. A Doom base defense hit, and I won with 4 uninjured gals. Now I've got a mutant pogram I have to go on, a help the Lok'Naars (which is negative points if I don't go also), and a human mage mission I want to go on for the hostage. I do have the second base (building a third) with the old aircar at it, but that base also no longer has back-up if anyone gets injured. The pogrom will be fun as well, as it looks like I'm having to go during daylight.

Walked off a cliff in the dark, trying to reach a lit area powered by a generator.

I was thinking that the goal of the puzzle was to walk slowly and just pull myself back up if I fell off and Banjo grabbed the ledge, but that was not how it worked.  I realized after that death that Jamjars had just taught me to use flaming eggs, and sure enough, shooting them acted as torches that lit up the path to use.

Couldn't finish the tutorial, because of the screen where you select a pantheon is inaccessible(you can scroll the list, but not pick any options or close it) if you have a unit selected, and you can't deselect the unit because the game forces control focus onto the religion screen until you pick a pantheon. And the game also auto-selects an idle/freshly created unit at the start of a turn, so there was no way to avoid that situation.

It totally is. The game's scaling is super aggressive and a huge pain in the ass, and one of the worst parts of the game (hey, you're level 25, now all the bandits have enchanted glass armor, the scamps are turned into high level daedra and the mudcrabs are land Dreughs!).
