Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it?
mikesizachrist@lemmy.world 1 day agonah i went full melee except the initial 5 mana, and didn’t even use my scrolls until late game, with the meatbug. I had so many extra levels after the first sleeper temple that i started going mage but then the game ended.
Money and skills were a premium most of the game so spends either on scrolls would’ve been wasteful just to shave off a little travel time.

I’ve never had an issue with ore. From stealing, flipping goods strategically, and pushing rolls in New Camp and selling harvests to Cipher, I’m always pretty flush.
Hell, as a warrior you could have just flipped the daily rations from Swamp Camp for scavenger scrolls since you didn’t need em.

I made money once i got to new camp, but i had already done most of old and swamp by that point, then i rolled it all into armor upgrades. I also got the mount right after so scrolls would’ve been a waste for me. Plus what if i need that later…so i ended up with an inventory full of scrolls and potions at the end of the game plus thousands of ore ever after buy whatever i wanted at the end.

And that’s the beauty of this immersive game. My play was completely different.
I was also pretty liberal with my usage of consumables. I’m always blazing that smokeweed and I chugged potions like a kid discovering soda.
The scouting with scrolls is also a godsend permadeath. Things leave you alone to explore the wilderness. Granted, I don’t get to pick anything up along the way but I get to plan and sometimes straight avoid encounters over my head that are blocking my way somewhere.

I found that i wanted to kill everything i could and if it was pushing me back that it just wasnt for me yet. leveling was the strongest gains i got throughout as well as moving through the story to get better armor.
