Maybe with unlimited power I could do it. The twitter I forget to use: / nerbit_13098 2nd Channel: / @ti-bren7709 ko-fi.com/nerbit #Fallout #Challenge #Gaming Music:www.purple-planet.com/
So in the Extended Star Wars lore, Palpatine was versed in Sith alchemy. That could have kept you with a great supply of potions for any long fights as well as levels in early game.
Plus you could _technically_ squeeze in the Ghostblade, Drainheart Swords and Conjuration's Bound Swords as they're the closest thing to a lightsaber you can get in the base game, at least as far as purely non-physically tangible weapons are concerned. Then again with the Magicka Saber mod that point is moot.
Well.. If we where to go by the books... You basically can not kill him.. He just goes from one of his empty clones to another.. So there is that as well. ( Yes that does mean Vader sacrificed himself in vein. )
@@darkcerabrate Literally unkillable... till someone sabotaged his cloning machines to bake in 4th stage cancer. Then he decided he needed Vader's grandson as a new Meat suit. Lost. And blew himself and his armada up in a temper tantrum. Shortly after Vaders other grandson got literally seduced by a Sith Hooker. And his twin sister had to finish him off.
To be fair, aiding a government in a civil war just to secretly murder the leader of said government and take it over is exactly the kind of thing Palpatine would do
I mean, Palpatine did eliminate the Jedi AND the Senate to become Emperor. All under their noses, too. Up to and including having a bunch of Clones of a famous bounty hunter made en masse and brainwashed with a killswitch to eliminate everyone who stood in his way. So, it all works.
He only used a Sabre rarely when fighting Jedi to insult them, as he wanted to demonstrate to them that he was better in every way to them even in Sabre combat
his lightsabre was used for a while by Vader, who hated it, because it wasn't even made to be used at all, it was instead built out of precious metals because the Jedi were modest and he wanted to make a lightsabre that was all blinged out
@@JohnPeacekeeperConversely, I think it's the opposite. Sheev Palpatine is not even remotely the best saber user in Star Wars lore - new or old. His talents and proficiency always lied with his use of the Force, particularly staying hidden and using Force Lightning. He's still no joke as lightsaber duelist, but it never had been and never would be his focus. So I think him primarily using lightsabers to fight Maul and Savage is more a show of him disciplining them as if they were rowdy children.
13:47 I might know why this works. Something similar happens with the telekinesis spell and Alteration (I think that's the right school). Basically when you fast travel, the spell keeps casting, which continues giving you experience for the time that passes. Normally you need to do damage to level Destruction, but knowing the spaghetti code, these spells might bypass that. TLDR spell keeps casting as you fast travel which gives experience
This is exactly it. Destruction spells, for the most part, are registered as "hit spells" meaning you have to hit a valid target to cast the spell. The exceptions to that, and it's more than unbound storm, are any destruction spells that have a wind up and release, do the blizzard spell works with this too. The game has them registers as "time casted" as with the other school groups, aside from restoration, which is a mix of valid target and time casted
@Loppy Doodle for the record, the telekinesis version of this needs magicka reduction enchants to work well. The less the spell costs, the more "simulated" time you spend casting as you fast travel, and the more levels you get. Just in case you ever want to use said trick
IDEA TIME “Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Wallace and Gromit?” -Jacked INT, drained PER -Can only wear sweater vests and slacks -NEED Rex (your choice on brain) -Have to pick Good Natured as one of your starting perks -Science and Repair as two of your Tags -Use science and robotics as often as possible to make things easier -HARDEST PART: only fight if necessary, meaning you can’t massacre Gomorrah for once, unless they fire first. No, you can’t instigate anything by pickpocketing/stealing and getting caught on purpose, either. Alternatively, if you’re up for it: “Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as the TF2 classes?” Example used; Soldier -High STR, drained INT -Can only use missile launchers, shotguns, and shovels -Can only dress in army helmets and military uniforms (Boomer uniforms MIGHT count) -Go for as many combat-oriented skills as possible -Must not harm Boomers, and do their quests -Side with NCR -Must make peace with Brotherhood of Steel (keep McNamara in charge so there can be an alliance) -OPTIONAL: Take the Sneering Imperialist perk ASAP EDIT: You also have to relinquish all non-holdouts if the Omertàs tell you to, so you can’t refuse to disarm and cause a loophole.
I'm imagining Soldier rallying the Dead Horses and Sorrows with a speech. "If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must Fight...Sun's Who said that." Edit: Sun Tzu mb.
There's this one perk in Ordinator that blocks enemies near you from regenerating magicka, and that was how I learned that dragons use magicka to shout. It's kinda funny seeing dragons flying in front of you, unable to do anything.
I feel like that final destruction spell for lightning that is just a massive stream of lightning would have been the perfect "UNLIMITED POWER!!!" spell.
Challenge idea: Can you beat fallout 4 with only power armor. Things such as ejected fusion cores and the pain train perk, because you never use power armor
Hey Jester, I actually just (almost) beat Battlefront 2004 with only the pistol over on my channel! I’ll be getting around to Battlefront 2 sometime this year!
I have four suggestions: - Any FallOut Game: ABC challenge but it extends to all items and companions. A = Anti-Material Rifle, B = Boone, C = Cateye, D = Dynamite, S = Stimpacks, , etc. You still cycle weapons but skip letters you are using elsewhere. - FallOut 4: Can you complete the game while switching factions? Once all factions are available, start doing a single Brotherhood quest, when it is completed, do and complete an Institute quest, then do a Minutemen quest, followed by a Railroad quest, and start over. I don’t know if it’s possible (except with Radiant Quest) but I thought it was interesting. - Can you beat Skyrim (minus a final shout at Alduin) as Cesar Millan? You can only recruit dogs and wolves to aid you and can only use summons that are wolves (Conjure Familiar and Conjure Flaming Familiar) - FallOut 4: ABC challenge without renaming any weapons. Alternatively, you can only rename weapons after your Patreon Members. (Sorry, the ABC challenge is my favorite run you’ve done.)
@@Nerbit13098 Hey Nerb, maybe you could do this, but in Fable? You just have to use the lightning spell, as well as dress up in the dark will user outfit (with the dark apprentice hood)
Well of course you can, you get UNLIMITED POWER!!! But even with such power, this should be a challenge due to the fact destruction spells drain your mana or whatever in seconds. So this should be fun!
Not if you have 100% reduction for destruction spells. Then you truly can have UNLIMITED POWER!!! Where can you learn such ways? Not from a Jedi thats for sure.
I feel like that, despite you being Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine, the reason you still had to be inducted into the Empire by Darth Tullius was because Sidious "died" at the end of RoJ. Therefore, your surprise appearance in Skyrim, and Rikke's attempted killing-by-recruitment could be summarized as thus: "Somehow, Palpatine returned."
I've done a Destruction plathrough before, and let me tell you- Lightening based spells are the best. I noticed that when dragons use their shout abilities, it costs them a small amount of mana. Not much, but just enough that if you drain all their mana they're forced land and fight you in melee combat. That combined with the fact that almost nothing in the game has lightening resistance makes it amazingly powerful.
Technically excluding Aura and Runes spells(aura is arguable) you’re allowed any shock spell because Palpatine has been known to shoot essentially lightning bolts not just a continuous spray. He only uses the continuous lightning to cause more pain. So if anyone else wants to do this challenge, you’re not limited to just shock. Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed the video and I hope to see more character runs in Skyrim!
You know, Nerbit, it occurred to me the other day that in all your Fallout 3 videos I don't think you've ever even mentioned Operation Anchorage much less done it. And I think I have the perfect run for it. You see after you finish the VR training simulation for the US military, you're given access to a skintight rubber ninja suit and an electrified sword. I think you can see where this is going.
You also get the Gauss Rifle, which could make for a spectacle of a run if it's even possible. On one hand: You have to finish the ENTIRE EXPANSION plus get to its starting location without fighting anything directly, (as per usual, companions go brrr,) but once you're done with all of that, you have one of the most powerful weapons in the entire game AND Power Armor Training early. High pain, high gain. Edit: Also it occurs to me that the Gauss Rifle is high pain, high gain itself - it's beaten only by the Tesla Cannon for straight damage, but it's single-shot. So you can only fire once before having a length reload to do, but you do piles of damage. It's also a long-range weapon with a scope, so...sneak attack critical sniping go brrrr heck I'm tempted to try it myself
Now I kind of want to do a Blood Angel Space Marine made into a Volkair Vampire due to the desire to turn "power into strength" run. This was excellent to watch. Thank you for this.
@@cxfxcdude The Ring of Namira shall not be worn by the Space Marine. He would find eating the dead too disgraceful and a disservice to humanity, despite the need to drink Human blood to control his Rage. But I want to write a story about how his Rage will manifest. Would you be willing to read it?
@@AntiKira20 Sounds cool. Also side note, there are Loyal Astartes that consume the flesh of the dead. Not the Blood Angels though, maybe their descendants?
@@FreshMint1527 Okay. Here it goes. Sorry, if its all jumbled up, my computers broken and I'm saving to get a new one. Harkon watched as his newest sire known as Cytek got up from his seat and wandered down to where the thralls were kept, for the eighth time already. In the same day no less. He heard whispers and rumors of his Court, each vampire marveling at the newest ones insatiable appetite for human blood. Cytek walked back up to the tables where piles of food lay, grabbed a large amount of meat on a plate along with utensils and began to eat half heartedly. 'Focus on the mission. Usurp Harkon and claim the Clan for the Angels' Cytek thought to himself. But these Vampires, if they could be called that which was not saying much, snarled and spoke and dreamed and barely clawed thier way to what they saw as power. Cytek did not want power. He knew what power could do. How it could twist and damage and leave minds and bodies in a mangled heap pleading for death and salvation in a desolate environment burning in flames. But why would the Blood Angels want them? Serving thier ships? Serfs? No, that was too idiotic. Cytek swallowed his meal, finding it too bland and scowled. Ronthil unfortunately had been across from him and had seen it, flinching as he backed away, stammering out apologies and causing Cytek to sigh softly. Ronthil was the only he could barely consider a friend, and even that was too much. The barest of light came through the windows, hitting the ring on Cyteks finger and causing it to glow faintly. Cytek had gotten married recently, even though he was asexual and had explained to his future husband that he wasn't sexually attracted to him and had no desire for sexual intimacy, he still deeply cared regardless. And Revyn had smiled and accepted. A thrall approached Ronthil and handed him a letter, moaning and pointing to Cytek. " E-Excuse me, sir. You have a letter." Ronthil stammered to him, handing Cytek the letter. Cytek took it, thanked him, and opened the letters contents. Read it again. And again. Wordlessly, he stood up and walked over to where his enchanted shock sword, known as ' Angels Lament' lay. He was muttering something under his breath over and over, and the Vampires strained to hear it even as he calmly walked out the Castle doors. "Ronthil, follow Cytek immediately and give me information on where he's going to." Harkon ordered. "Yes, my lord. But..why?" Ronthil replied in a confused sort of way. Harkon sighed tiredly. "If you know his power like I do, you would know that the last time this happened, Cytek had butchered 13 bandit camps, resurrected every single corpse just to kill them again and went to the Soul Cairn just to find the souls who had kidnapped his husband. That is why." Harkon told the Court calmly. The Court erupted into a frenzy of chatter and fear. If that was Cytek when he was calm, imagine his power when he was enraged. Ronthil left after that, trying his utmost to track his fellow vampires movements. But it was exceedingly difficult. Not only were the footprints hard to follow, they seemed to go in every direction. Eventually Ronthil had tracked him down by using magic and the sense of smell to where another Vampire nest had been recently created. But something was very wrong. He could hear the flames first. Then the smell of smoke and burning flesh assaulted his eyes and mind, causing Ronthil to wince as he walked into the cave trying to avoid the flames. Even with enchanted armor, it still hurt. He forced himself through, and heard screaming. It was Cytek, who was resurrecting a Vampire and screaming at it to give his husband back now, but the Vampire could only moan in response. Cytek swung his sword, and the Vampire fell into a pile of ash. Not enough. Never enough. His husband was no longer of this world. He could feel it, the rigid self control slipping away, and feebly grasped at it with his mind, and missed his grip. Cytek fell. He could see the Imperium in flames and someone looking at him. Who was it? Cytek blinked his eyes, his vision becoming clearer to reveal a traitor. Ronthil backed away, fearing for his life as flames erupted around Cytek, who had been roaring at something, declaring they were a traitor to an "Imperium". What was the "Imperium"? Ronthil decided to escape the cave when he got the chance, but the flames were becoming too much even for his armor to handle and felt an iron grip on his head. Too stunned to move or say anything, Ronthil felt the blade against his neck, but it was quickly pulled away once voices were heard outside the cave, shouting for water and piles of snow to put out the flames. Cytek, still in his bloodthirsty state immediately ran out to purge those who had interrupted him, causing his screams and thiers to intertwine. Ronthil crawled out of the cave on his hands and knees and gaped at the destruction around him. Trees were uprooted, boulders were smashed. But most, was the amount of Orcs and Nords bodies that lay in piles. 146 Orcs. And 189 Nords. And the forest still burned around him with Cyteks screaming in absolute agony. Ronthil headed as quick as he could the castle to report to Harkon. "He's on a rampage, my lord! Orca piled up like logs. Nords ripped apart and drained of blood and he's still screaming that we are a traitor to this.....Imperium." Ronthil reported. "And what is the Imperium?" Harkon demanded to know. Ronthil shrugged his shoulders as a way to say he didn't know. Thralls were coming with more letters from seduced letter carriers claiming of a Flaming Daedra slaughtering Vampires that lived in cities and towns farther and farther from the Castle walls. This was and was not good. By clearing out Vampires not aligned to the Volkair clan, that would leave space for them to take over. But it drew attention to Vampires in the first place. The Csstle doors opened and in walked Cytek, head bowed in deep shame and grief. Harkon demanded to know what had happened and what was the Imperium. That caused a deep sigh to come from Cytek. "The Imperium is what I serve. The Imperium of Man has stood for 10 thousand years. We have conqured galaxies, planets, and people who love the Emperor of Mankind. When your vampires heard me say 'For the Emperor!', they thought I was glorifying Tamriels Emperor. I was not. I was singing praises to my God Emperor of Mankind who sits upon the Golden Throne. He who watches over mankind. He granted me mercy . And what can this Clan offer me that the Imperium cannot?" Cytek replied.
I'm a little shocked you didn't pick up on this one. The Choking Grasp tome. I know Palpatine was more of a chaos lightning kinda guy, but he did teach Anakin the force choke (Choking Grasp).
I remember seeing the same thing with Fevvy’s vids whenever he wanted to level Alteration with Telekinesis he grabbed a potion or what have you and fast traveled while holding it to instantly level up to 100 basically, so I think that glitch works with all magic schools if possible
Fun fact with Cicero if you spare him he'll become a follower as he is loyal to the true dark brotherhood to the point that sithis doesn't want him dead. Also I'd say he's like a sith as the dark brotherhood are something similar.
Nerbit fridays 🥳 Tossing this idea again because I think it'd be fun to see for Nerbit: Can you beat fallout 4 only by influence? In a nutshell a charisma build where you use the perks to intimidate people/animals/creatures/robots to fight for you, but you can't kill enemies yourself. Can also just lead enemies to one another, using yourself as bait. Id say no companions too but thats up to you, in case there's a spot you'd get stuck on (I'm thinking Fort hagen, idk if you can influence synths)
I just realized...considering the presence of the Hand to Hand skill tree, could that and the Sparks spell make a Can You Beat Oblivion as Colonel Volgin challenge?
This is actually something I cobbled together myself back in like, 2014 or something? Magicka Sabres, 'Elder' race (for looks, although luckily they also had a giant magicka regen bonus), a mod that gave something called 'mass sparks' that was a little less busted than the force lightning you had, another mod that gave like three castable 'pushes' that were the FUS shout but a spell, and.... ......a mod that let you jump hella high. That last one tied things together surprisingly well, have to say.
Another reason to not use a lightsaber is that Sidious believed himself above the use of lightsaber. He was an amazing duelist, but only really had his sabers to flex on the Jedi.
When doing early game enchanting for a caster character, you are almost always better off going for Fortify Magicka over Regen. The Regen Enchantment is a modifier to your base Regen rate, and that value is based on how much Magicka you have. As such, at lower levels when your enchants aren't as good, a Fortify Magicka that gives you +20 or +30 magicka will actually give you more Magicka Regen then boosting the base rate by 10%. This is on top of the fact that the larger your magicka pool is, the more spells you can cast or the longer you can channel for. By mid game, when you have the ability to put two enchants on items, and can make stronger enchants, you want mix both Fortify Magicka Regen and Fortify Magicka on your gear alongside the cost reduction stuff in order to potentially reach the point where you actually regen magicka faster then you spend it.
"Unlike in the movies, they can't block the lightning with their sabers." Or they can and just didn't know how. Y'know, just like a lot of events that happened in the sequel trilogy.
The glitch to level destruction works cuz when you fast travel, your character essentially walks there and while you're in the loading screen, he's casting it the entire way
17:38 I don't know why but when you said this the only thing I could imagine was Palpatine laughing and running away like Liquid Ocelot from the entirety of the Solitude guardsmen.
A solid upgrade for sparks is wall of storms. They pretty much fire the same in appearance but one leaves lingering lightning on surfaces. When I try to do pure mage runs the wall spells are what I would aim for. Unfortunately I am very bad at committing to runs.
Just had a brilliant idea for a challenge: Can You Beat Skyrim As Ulfric Stormcloak. Hopefully you can find an “Ulfric Stormcloak Preset” mod that makes you look like him right away, if not do your best. Then you go to windhelm, use console commands to take his clothes and weapon. I would say kill him but youd need more console commands for later, ut if youre willing to do that it makes the challenge better if you kill and replace him. Now, become him! Wear his clothes, and you can only use the weapons he uses, so his sword and also unrelenting force. Also sidenote, for once, technically speaking, using dragonrend isnt for sure failure, since Ulfric can shout, so its possible he COULD learn and use dragonrend, he just hasnt learned it yet. But anyway, its a two part challenge. First part, beating the civil war questline for the stormcloaks, of course! And after that the main story.
Man... This was very entertaining, as always. It takes a special talent to do these runs through what are essentially a handful of games.. And keep them fresh, funny, and interesting. You make it look easy. I know how much work goes into something like this.. The hours of gameplay video, scriptwriting, editing, etc. That it takes to end up with what we see as a 20-30 minute video, and I wanted to say thank you for what you do. I always come back to these multiple times because they're the perfect thing to cheer me up when I've had a particularly shite day as well. 👍
This is so nostalgic for me. My first ever Skyrim play through I was a Breton, only used lighting spells, and headcanoned that my character was shouting UNLIMITED POWER! When casting
You know the no Lightsaber thing is fitting with Palpatine since despite being a master at it, he hated lightsabers and think a force user shouldn’t need one. Plus he used them more to mock the Jedi with its use and the material of the hilt. As for the not recognize the Emperor part, Palpatine frequently hide his face and used holograms. So not many people knew his true appearance or even that he was a Sith/Force user.
@@Nerbit13098 Maybe you could find all the personality modules as an extra challenge to increase the length/difficulty? That's what I usually do when I play OWB
One of the most fun mods I've seen was a magic expanded that just made more spells, like walls of shock, frost or fire. It was broken but no more broken than shouts.
I had a really good challenge run idea for you man...but it seems to have slipped my mind. Damn it. It will come back to me. Hope you had a good week : )
Just a small tip considering what you said about delphine and esbern liking to break. I have learned that the unofficial skyrim patch mod will cause that issue
I'm not sure if its possible (in skyrim at least) but there's been an idea in my mind of a 'bane'/jekyll & hyde run where you have crap stats in general and instead rely on potions to keep yourself up to snuff.
probably not the same, but i did an 'immaterial' ish run where i only used bound weapons, which were good but no weapon perks, alteration for defenses, but i did use potions and poisons.
Fun fact i notice, you doing the Dark Brotherhood fits Palpatine in a way, sense the Night mother shares a title with the Night Mother of Dathomere in Star Wars
If you're making your character Emperor Palpatine for this lightning spell-only run, I'm disappointed that you didn't make your character Zuko in the fire spell-only run.
@@Platonis-The-Warlock Cool as that would be, he might end up on thin ice. Bad puns may leave the audience frigid or give him the cold shoulder, so he should make sure he stays frosty and chills out on the puns, or there'll be snow way to finish it fast. Not that it should move glacially, it should have an ice flow is all.
Man I commented this on one of Mitten Squad's (RIP) videos years ago and it got thousands of likes but he never made it. Glad to see my wish come through all these years later.
This video makes perfect sense. In order to beat the game as Emperor Palpatine you have to first become Emperor Palpatine, before that you're just Palpatine and not the emperor so the challenge is invalid until you finish those prerequisites.
Idk why exactly but the thought of Alduin being shock-locked out of his shouts while the Dragonborn dances around him to avoid his bite attacks while continuing to shock him made me laugh my ass off for a good twenty minutes
Bro I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago. Since I always love skyrim and I recently start playing fallout 4 your videos are hilarious😂🤣. Glad I stumbled across these gems 💎
Can you beat Skyrim as Siouxsie and the Banshees? Basically a run where you (Siouxsie - the front woman of the band) can only use certain shouts and you can also summon trolls (the banshees - the rest of the band) which I’m pretty sure the creation club allows you to do now. Feel free to add as many 80s references as you’d want in the run.
Watching your videos reminded me of my own character run: Fallout 4 as John McClane. Tank top and pants attire, only pistols and subguns, sarcastic for every dialogue option, on the side of justice but partakes in vigilantism and kills the antagonist whenever possible, Minuteman allied, uses alcohol, and partners with Nick Valentine.
Okay, you accidentally killed a dragon in the bandit camp where you got your robes... but even funnier was the damn draugr bugging the fuck out before he dropped dead 😭 This game is so good
I got an idea for a character based challenge run, "Can you beat Fallout 4 as James Bond" The Rules: You can only use weapons that appear in Goldeneye on the N64, you're restricted to only wearing a Tuxedo (Ballistic Weave is allowed to be applied), you have to side with the Railroad as it just makes sense due to how you're basically a spy for them when getting inside the Institute, the only special stat requirements are to have a high Charisma stat, and you must end up getting laid by the end of the run (Magnolia is the easiest option but anyone of female companions that can romanced is also a good option too)
According to Star Wars lore Palpatine hated fighting with a lightsaber and was much more fond of using the dark might he possessed to crush his enemies.
I've been running a playthrough with the same concept ironically. It's fun, though it's vanilla and I'll occasionally use a flame sword since he was a lightsaber master
