      @Cinder Man the fight takes place during a lower level scaling. The dark brotherhood initiates along cicerro I believe have the highest scaling in the game at uncapped or around 50ish, so this fight may change depending on the level. Then again, they would be stronger and fighting stronger spells so it might stay the same anyway.

      Yeah. Conjuration basically acted as a way to soak attacks and get more attacks in. Also not a single one of them was a bow specialist so you also saw the DB needing to cover distance before they could do damage. The terms of the match favored Winterhold.

    • @ignarus3636
      @ignarus3636 Před 3 lety +2

      Yup - destruction magic scales poorly compared to hand weapons that are fully boosted by smithing/enchanting/alchemy, *none* of which are a factor for NPCs. If DB were equipped to dual wield and had two weapons in their inventory, this would have been closer, but it's hard to catch up to mages firing frost spells on open ground with unlimited room to retreat when you are wearing useless armor. And the ability to focus fire from distance AND the fact that mages often are already unleashing an ice bolt when somebody takes a knee at low health. Pretty sure I saw the DB fail to finish somebody who then got up and started firing spells again - a disengagement that disproportionately favors ranged combatants.
      Really, there's absolutely no reason to expect the DB to have a snowflake's chance in hell in a fight like this. Not a lot of armies have detachments of soldiers wearing light armor and weilding single daggers. HTH DPS losing to Ranged DPS in an open, large-scale skirmish is no surprise whatsoever 😄

      Yea but the higher the level the more nerfed magic gets, so once you can use master level spells with a level 30 character the magic is weaker then a level 30 bandit because a spell used by a master level wizard deals the same damage has a level 1 wizard. The only reason they won was because of heals/ice and ai going after atronachs. There's so much stuff that hardcore nerfs magic in this game.
      The only two exceptions are the high mage who has special stats and can beat most characters one on one. Or dragons at the college because the mages fire so many ranged attacks before the dragon ai can even find a angle to land or blast from. Now if magic didn't have a stagnant damage rate, and leveled with the character then you would be 100% right.

      *Alteration* made me basically a magic tank, if we combine the Atronach Perk and Atronach Stone, plus I can do Mass Paralysis, which is crazy strong.
      Fighting undeads using *Restoration* is overkill. I usually pursue Draugr Deathlord, Draugr Wight, Draugr Scourge, Master Vampire, etc, because my spell Circel of Protection.

      The issue with that is Ninjas irl weren't as badass as we make them out to be. The Spartans would absolutely beat ninjas and no the idea of a ninja running around a spartan camp killing them "stealthily" is incredibly unrealistic. At the end of the day there's always a bigger fish, and Ninjas just aren't anywhere near biggest fish. They're badass, but mainly because they were impoverished farmers who used guerilla tactics to resist oppressive dynamos who sent heavily armored soldiers to raid their villages. But as cool as that is it'd be ridiculous to think they could beat Spartans in any sort of combat, even utilizing guerilla tactics.

      The reason they use stealth is because they fucking suck ass in any sort of fair combat LOL as shown in this video. Unless they literally have the drop on somebody with a 400% crit chance bonus they aren't killing shit.

      @@renaldoawes2210 that's like saying a mage sucks ass because they can't accomplish anything with out their magic....
      Just add a coating of that super poison the brotherhood makes to all there weapons and see how well the mages fair.

      @@danielgibson3422 No it's not. Magic is a tool not a situation. I never took the Dark Brotherhood's weapons from them. But this argument of "well they're stronger if they jump you by surprise and therefore they're stronger" is ridiculous.

      Even if you want to ignore that then at the very least they should be given the best poisons considering that is literally just a tool.

      @@danielgibson3422 Stealth isn't a tool stealth is a tactic. A tool is a physical item while stealth is a skill based tactic. It's like if you were to compare armed forces. Let's just say US soldiers vs Russian. But then you unfairly gave the Russians an ambush position and put the US forces completely out of position. That would be an awful way to compare them.
      If we are going to give the assassins stealth then we have to give the mages something in return. All the mages would have to do is cast detect life and now the assassins have to fight a straight up fight, which brings us full circle where we can clearly see they are incapable of winning.
      I grant you if the assassins had better gear they probably would have won, but the mages could also be given stronger spells. Blame Bethesda for that one, not the video creator. He set up the most fair fight possible and the assassins got rocked. Personally? I expected them to massacre the mages because Magic is really weak in Skyrim compared to melee but I wasn't expecting the assassins to be that weak lmao.

    A lot of dark brotherhood strength would be in their ability to sneak and get the first hit or two. This video doesn't account for the environment that is being used and how it may effect the battle as a whole.
    That being said I do love the video and support you to make this one and many more. Thank you:)
