Hey guys, during my recent play through with my rouge char. I've been wanting to finally collect all of the masks and Deadra artifacts. So I thought to myself which Deadra artifact is the coolest. Not the best but more of the quest on how to get it, and how it looks or just has a kick ass ability. IMO Ebony Mail is one of the better quests. The armor looks cool and has the dark cloak when you stealth which is by far one of the coolest abilities in the game.
What are your guys thoughts?
Hello everyone! I'm new here and I'll probably be staying off some topics cause my knowledge of the lore is still limited but I will try catch up. Anyways... I think the Ebony Blade is really beautiful ,slick and powerful once you get past it's utterly evil nature. Also the Spellbreaker is quite practical for all types of characters.
Welcome Eva. I wouldn't go as far to say "all" types of characters. For those that use shields yes. I have many characters that don't use shields. I find the Ebony Blade to be obsolete in the mid-game, especially if the player is a blacksmith. Overall I find the daedric artifact weapons and armor to be quite disappointing mid/late game. I wish Umbra were brought back. Or the artifacts be more powerful.
Once you've fully charged the Ebony Blade it makes a brilliant weapon for followers, since the reach and attack speed combined with 30 health per hit makes them virtually invincible! And most warrior followers have both one-handed and 2-handed skills anyways.
Welcome to the site by the way
Yes, you're right. Still ir does protect your character from frost,fire etc. up to 50% so it's practical IMO. Also I must agree that I'm a bit dissapointed with the daedric artifacts (except for the Wabbajack, it's fun to mess around with it...most of the time) When Clavicus Vile wanted me to kill his dog to keep the axe I was like ,' well let's see what this cosmic-out-of this-world axe do', and you know what it does 20 points of stamina damage...that's it (if you don't count the tempering). It didn't really impress me as a god-like being's wepon. And I do enjoy one-handed wepons waaay more that two-handed. I wish there were more katana-like wepons.
You have to kill people that you have done favours for and are considered your friends. Each friend you kill gives the health absorb enchantment 2 extra points, to a maximum of 20 extra points, making 30 health absorb all up when fully empowered.So you have to kill 10 friendly people.
I personaly used the Whiterun mage up in Dragonsreach. I used the "resurrect" command and killed him 10 times in his room so it would be more private and no bounty. What happend was after 2 kills Melphala spoke to me something like "Yes! I can feel their despair and the tears and in their eyes"
