Let's Play Skyrim (Legendary difficulty, perma-death) -- S2 E05: Blade of Darkness
Finally! Raven Umbranox gets her killer gear! She is now on a whole 'nuther level.
I was deliberately gunning for that 60 Speech. If you are willing to just fast travel all over Skyrim, you just need 50: find a shrine of Dibella somewhere for the +10. Also you could bring along an Amulet of Dibella for a whopping +15 to seduce Faralda with. That means, once you're level 20+ and manage to get Philter of Glibness from a merchant list (+40 Speech), you can smooth-talk your way past her with just 35 in basic Speech.
So, in addition to Sufferthorn (her Soul Trap weapon), Raven now has these Oblivion homage items:
Cruelty's Heart: one of my favorites in Oblivion. Stats on the original were awesome: +STR and WIL.
Shadowhunt: was a bow, I made it into a pair of boots for Raven.
Gloves of Pitiless Justice: was Scales in the original. I use a mod to make the Backstab enchantment usable. It's in my mod list somewhere, I posted it up in one of my Sigrun videos. Available on request.
Raven's Refuge is what I am calling her main body armor piece. Just for RP purposes: protects against disease and poison. Not fully min-maxxing, I guess, but well, I am making an effort to maximize Fortify One-Handed within the game-defined limits (+40% from the best enchanter in all of Skyrim, per item). Also with the gloves. Archery remains very much a secondary mode of combat for Raven.
There's still one more item to go, to replace the Ring of Namira. It'll come later. I didn't have enough moolah for it yet.
Pleased that I pulled off the throat-cutting on Silus Vesuvius. Woo!
All in all, this video represents a very satisfactory bit of gameplay. Big improvements in gear.
