Let's Play The Elder Scrolls Arena Blind - Part 27 - This Game Hates Me
0We have retrieved the stone tablet from the Temple of Agamanus, now we just need to backtrack through three floors, two of which have respawned enemies, including a large number of Hellhounds.
With all of the previous in mind, it sounds practical that we would die a bunch. Of course, then we get a disease on floor 2 of the dungeon. Against what I would normally like to do, play it like it lies, I just don't know if the stat reductions are permanent for disease and I feel I cannot afford to have my stats dropped. We are doing terrible enough as it is with decent stats! It is a bit cheap to reload if I get a disease, but it is better than ending up with low stats that take forever to raise.
We finally gain a level on our return voyage, pushing me to level 17. With only three points to spend on stats, I am extremely glad I didn't accept the disease, that would take a great number of levels to get back! Based on how long it took to gain this level, I can imagine we will be pretty much stuck with the stats I have for a good deal of time in the future. We couldn't even get to a +3 health modifier for Endurance and must rely on a bunch of magical gear to even get decent stats. Needless to say, this game is just getting more and more unforgiving.
Oh, but I am getting a bunch of valuable stuff that I can sell. When we make it out of the dungeon we even get to sell a good deal of the junk I picked up, which results in me reaching nearly 200,000 gold. This sounds good until you realize there isn't much to spend on gold in this game. Outside of the main quest, there are a large number of random quests, though they just offer absolute pittance in comparison to what we have. As I said, we don't have much to spend gold on, we could not pick up a gold coin for the rest of the game and I would have a surplus by the end. Identifying stuff doesn't take much of a dent at all, nor would paying for the most expensive gear in the game. Of course, I can't find the most expensive gear since it would require several hours of searching from town to town. As for identifying, it works pretty well, though I still have yet to find a magical sword better than a Longsword, there has yet to be a single magical Dai-Katana. It would be nice to find something to replace the easily breakable one we currently have, but no luck.
The only real good to come out of all of this was the Amulet of Luck. I am not sure how useful Luck is, I thought it might help with diseases, but it seems we quickly got a disease even with luck at 100. Based on what I know from Morrowind, it just affects a bit of everything but it so small that it really doesn't help much of anything. Well, if it affects stuff, it is worth using until we find something else., even if now we have a -3 armor class instead of the -20+ armor class we would have if not for all these stat modifiers.
Beyond that piece of treasure, which may or may not actually be useful, we also can say we have successfully navigated the dungeon and have found the location of the Halls of Colossus. Let us hope that dungeons is a bit more interesting than the Temple of Agamanus, which has become my least favorite dungeon simply for being a lengthy rehash with absolutely nothing interesting to offer.
Since my battery was starting to get low and the Temple of Agamanus took a while to navigate, I decided to stop the stream just after we finished preparations for the Halls of Colossus. Apparently now it is winter in Corinth, which makes absolutely no sense when you remember Elsweyr was supposed to be a desert. Also note that I forgot to save under the correct save once again, but luckily I am getting used to rectifying this issue and so far it hasn't caused any problems since it has been noticed prior to the next stream.
