Q: What is the correct way of using Skyrim DLC's

Saif BechanI have completely devoured Skyrim last year, playing it a few months straight doing all the missions, getting all the masks, leveling up to max, etc. In the meantime I changed computers a few times, so my saved games are all lost.

@PrivatePansy Not really, it has some inbuilt variables that interact with the world, so your aim it to manipulate them.
 
@spugsley Why am I not steam friends with you?
I need to see whether you're playing Rogue Legacy at any given time. This is important.
 
@StrixVaria sammy0415 FRIEND ME I AM PLAYING IT RIGHT NOW AND SUCKING ASS
 
4:26 PM
ughhh this game is making me so useless. I really need to photography today ;.;
 
I forgot to go to work yesterday because of this game.
 
what game?
 
ROGUE LEGACY
 
Is baldness a special power or something @spugsley?
 
@Blem Characters have traits.
Baldness is a trait.
I don't think it does anything particularly interesting.
I want to see @spugsley let's play Rogue Legacy.
 
4:28 PM
@Blem yes I'm hella bald
 
@spugsley Take pictures of Rogue Legacy.
 
@StrixVaria NO IT REMINDS ME THAT I AM SHIT AT EVERYTHING
 
do you have a big version of the picture you posted the other day @spugsley (woman behind fire or something like that)
 
@Blem I do indeed
 
I had a hard time making out the details in the link that was stared
 
4:31 PM
understandable, it was just a little contest entry page
this is my flickr
 
I gave it a max score :)
it is very nice
 
user20683
@spugsley Do I need to vote again for the finals?
 
@WorldEngineer nope :)
@Blem hey thanks! :) I'm proud of that one. Took some time to get my shutter speed just right to get both the fire and the sparks to show up that way
 
you are really talented @spugsley, theres some really good pictures
 
@Blem thanks :) 365 project has really helped. I've sold some prints, snagged a gallery show, and signed with an agent so I'm happy :)
 
user20683
4:40 PM
@spugsley Dress as characters from Rogue Legacy and do a series of those? Then you can do photos and "play" Rogue Legacy.
 
@WorldEngineer lol and die.
 
@WorldEngineer Just pay someone to either play rogue or take photos for you.
 
user20683
@RonanForman You assume she has the money for that.
 
@WorldEngineer I doubt you have to pay someone to play rogue.
 
user20683
You'd have to pay me, I can't run it.

Q: List of upgrades and prerequisites required to unlock them

el0dI want a list of upgrades. And I want to know in which order they unlock. An image similar to a skill tree would be preferred but text will do too.

If we still had NARQ, that'd be one.
 
user20683
that's too broad
 
user20683
unclear what asking is the new NARQ
 
user20683
kinda
 
4:48 PM
There's no replacement for "too localized" though
 
I'd've voted to close it hours ago, but haven't been able to VTC on mobile for some reason.
 
@PrivatePansy It was misused, so it was removed
 
So in the new close system, I can't close because it belongs on SO.
Please fix!

@badp Yeah, did that.
 
@RonanForman There's no generic "off topic" any more, hmmm

the new close system is still a bit kinky.
 
@spugsley graped day 146 as a new bg image for my desktop :)
 
There's always other though, so I suppose it's alright.

@Wipqozn Rogue Legacy?
 
@murgatroid99 yes
 
@Wipqozn Yeah, I'm at about level 50 and I still haven't gotten close to killing it
 
There, he's dead!
also I' level 19
Only got hit once. That went well.
 
@Wipqozn Rogue Legacy?
 
12 mins ago, by Wipqozn
@murgatroid99 yes
 
5:38 PM
I was level 30 when i killed him. I had only 4 HP left at the end, was close.
I think he is easier when you kill him at lower level, then when you wait.
Btw did anyone upgrade Lich, is it worth it?
 
is there a way to limit Amazon searches to Prime items only?

Q: Does the Lich have a maximum max HP?

StrixVariaAs the lich, you gain maximum HP whenever you kill an enemy. Does this go up indefinitely as long as you keep killing enemies, or is there some cap?

0
Q: How do you use these sideways platform?

StrixVariaThere are a bunch of platforms that you activate by down-attacking in the air. These, however, spawn vertical platforms when you down-attack them, rather than horizontal ones that you can stand on. How do you use these platforms?

 
Lich upgrade is worth it.
 
@Sterno Converting max hp to max mp?
Is that all it does?
 
Yes. It turns some max hp into more max mp. And Uncaps you so you can re-earn max hp
 
Third boss is ridiculous.
@Sterno The cap is so low it feels like the lich just sucks.
The barbarian has more max hp out of the gate than the lich does after farming up.
 
You need lots of vampirism
Loch sucks UNLESS you upgrade him
Ipad autocomplete sucks
 
6:21 PM
I just tried spellsword for the first time a few rounds ago and it's amazing.
I think knave/assassin is the worst class.
 
Nah. Mage
 
Oh yeah, mage is pretty terrible.
Spellsword with OCD would be top tier.
Spam everything.
I've gotten to the point where I almost never have absolutely terrible runs any more.
 
Hey Strix check your question about Lich's max HP.
And about those vertical ledge platforms, do they spawn often for you? I never had those in my runs.
 
@ChrisHateZ I've seen them 2-3 times.
 
@ChrisHateZ I have come across them once.
 
6:30 PM
Always in conjunction with a fairy chest, but not always this specific room.
 
I think you could use those if you had double/triple jump.
Basically jump-attack the button for it to send out the vertical ledge, then jump again to get on top of it.
Would that work?
 
It was vertical and I fell through it.
I don't have one available to mess with right now, but they've always been over spikes so it is tough to experiment on them.
 
I think my method is probably the way to do those. I'll test that if i happen to find them.
Having a break after killing the first boss. That guy killed me so many times.
 
I can reliably clear out the Castle and the Forest every run now.
 
My problem is that i don't have any luck finding those blueprints for blacksmith. So my gear is pretty bad, and my level keeps increasing because of the fort upgrades i buy.
So basically monster levels go up as well, while i have same shitty gear =/
Forest is the easiest area after the castle, right?
 
6:38 PM
@ChrisHateZ I don't know if this is true.
The monsters get difficult in later rooms in the dungeon.
 
@ChrisHateZ that's my guess
 
@ChrisHateZ 'tis.
 
I don't know if the basic difficulty goes up based on level, though.
 
The journal entries give you a way to go through it.
 
I've been doing pretty well in the tower recently.
Surprisingly.
 
6:39 PM
And the map has marks beside it, indicating which area should come next.
 
Well from what Iv'e read in journal, the monsters do scale after your character.
 
@ChrisHateZ The monsters get harder the further into the dungeon you go. Assuming the guy writing the journal was progressing (he was), I don't see a way to draw the same conclusion you did.
And I don't just mean that the monsters in the forest are harder than the monsters in the castle.
The monsters later in the castle are harder than the monsters earlier in the castle.
They go from taking 1 hit to 2 hits to kill.
Within the same run.
 
@StrixVaria I haven't noticed that actually.
 
@StrixVaria I've noticed this.
 
Anyone know of a legal place to download a win 7 64bit ultimate disk? I need to reinstall my os
 
6:43 PM
@ChrisHateZ Dude, I'm level 86, and I can still one-shot stuff early in the Castle.
 
Ok so from what Iv'e read on the forums only bosses scale to your level (up to a cap). Regular monsters don't scale.
 
@fbueckert How many bosses have you killed?
 
That's why i had so much trouble with the first boss.
 
@StrixVaria Just two.
 
Same.
 
6:46 PM
What class do you guys use the most?
 
Spelunker, when I can get them. Hokage is a good substitute.
 
I've fought been slaughtered by the third boss one, though.
I like spellsword recently.
 
I rarely lock the dungeon, though; I'm more focused on cash and blueprints than anything else.
 
I tend to do best with paladin.
Interestingly, I never block when I am a paladin.
Their base stats just suit my careless playstyle the best.
 
@StrixVaria Block has a delay which i really dislike.
 
6:48 PM
I also tend to do better with nostalgic characters.
 
@StrixVaria Wouldn't a berserker suit a careless playstyle more?
 
Which is annoying because having everything through a sepia filter sucks.
@ChrisHateZ I don't know if you mean barbarian or if berserker is a class I haven't found yet. I don't like barbarians because their base damage is stupidly low.
 
@StrixVaria Yeah it's Barbarian.
How do you unlock spellthief? Just found him on the wiki.
 
I don't remember specifically what to get. He's kind of in the top middle, a bit to the right.
Unlock things in that direction.
 
Woo! Lich with 7 HP/kill, and 4 Max HP/kill
 
6:53 PM
Since you play Lich a lot can you tell me how exactly does his special ability works onec you get the upgrade?
once*
 
It takes max HP, and converts it to Max MP.
 
So when you activate the special ability, your max MP becomes the same as your current max HP?
 
No, it subtracts X from Max HP, and adds X to Max MP.
 
Mhm
 
6:56 PM
@StrixVaria What... the..
 
user20683
@StrixVaria O_o
 
Isn't that kinda uncomfortable position for a dog to be and especially to eat in?
I'm calling PETA!
Aaaand the chat is dead..
Guess I'll go play some Rogue Legacy then.
@StrixVaria Do you remember do you need to buy "Potion Up" upgrade to get to the spellthief?
 
@ChrisHateZ Sounds plausible.
It's right around the same area.
And I do have 1 point in "Potion Up".
 
@StrixVaria Yep, unlocked it. Now i just need to get the money to buy the actual class.
 
@Ktash I think I can get you Professional. (University ftp server)
 
7:05 PM
@ManishEarth Thanks, I actually found some download links though
 
Of course, you'll have to provide the key yourself
kk
 
Ok this is weird. Rogue Legacy runs terribly slow now if i have The Bridge opened in one of my tabs in Firefox. What the hell?
If i close The Bridge tab in Firefox and alt-tab back to the game it runs normal, even if i have multiple tabs of other websites open in Firefox.
Does that make any sense at all to you guys?
That gif Strix posted is the problem O.O
If i scroll up the chat to a point where i can't see the gif, and alt-tab to the game it runs normal.
This doesn't make any sense.
 
Woo! Grace runes!
Those, + Bounty runes = cash run.
 
user20683
I know some of my games run slowly if I've got a flash video in the background
 
@WorldEngineer That's just weird.
@fbueckert Any idea how much more gold do you get for each bounty rune?
 
7:14 PM
@ChrisHateZ 10%
 
Meh, not worth it for me now then.
Unless i get more of them.
That protective fire spell thingy is so overpowered O.O
But it eats mana fast =(
 
user20683
@ChrisHateZ With some of them it backs sense because they are running Flash I think.
 
user20683
with the rest, it's probably my horribly shit video card.
 
user20683
GMA 950 for the fail.
 
Aww. My lich had been doing so well.
 
7:24 PM
@fbueckert RIP?
 
@ChrisHateZ Meh. He cleared the castle and the forest, and got me 10K.
 
@fbueckert Nice. Can't wait untill i start making so much gold per runs.
 
@ChrisHateZ I'm starting to pick up Sage equipment now; it does the same thing Bounty does.
 
@fbueckert I really don't have luck getting any blueprints.
 
So Gold Gain Up Level 5 + four Bounty runes + Miner Bonus + 2 pieces of Sage equipment = 140% extra gold per run.
 
7:27 PM
@StrixVaria I've seen this too. And I have runes that speed up or slow down the rate at which monsters get tougher. So it makes sense they have some default rate
 
Oh crap. I found red teleporter in the castle and used it to see what it does.
I'm not amused.
Stupid thing teleported me somewhere deep inside that dark area.
Too bad you can't rebind the arrow keys, that's just retarded. I don't get it why did they make it so.
 
Loch is the only class so far I got the flock of birds spell for. That thing rocks. Especially when you can keep pumping up max mp
 
I'd make WASD movement and jump keys, and arrow keys for attack, skills, and things like that.
 
Ipad needs to learn the word lich
 
@Sterno That's default spell for Lich. I haven't seen it on anyone else either.
 
7:36 PM
Four and a half more hours.. Then an hour drive home. Then I can play Rogue Legacy.
 
I had to chop your name down to Flutshy. Stupid 8 char limit!
 
I'll take a break from RL again. Starting to get a bit annoying and frustrating again.
 
I was going to play when my daughter took her afternoon nap. So, naturally, she decided to skip her afternoon nap. Now I need a nap.

Q: Tales of Graces: Does a chest have to be empty to count as "opened"?

Q: MTG Duels of the Planeswalkers questions about card ruling and gameplay Strategies do not belong here

EnderI feel these question's belong on board and card games.se as they already carry the load of ruling and gameplay based questions on MTG. Despite DoTP being a video game, it's just a re-work of the cardgame, which is, a card game. It is not a video game.

Q: Flash games to play one-to-one via internet
