How effective would BOOps be as a melee attack in Skyrim?

Assuming BOOps are unarmed striked from a Khajiit then it would do 22 points of damage before any enchants, perks or other buffs

*Ward of Seasons (Increases Fire Resistance by 10%. Increases Frost Resistance by 10%. Increases Shock Resistance by 10%. Increases Poison Resistance by 10%)

Note: should this also end in a draw I will make the final decision myself

Dragon Rising

So I started off by after getting ready sleeping in the bed at our farmhouse for faster leveling

and I made sure to actually collect some bolts for the crossbow this time guys

So after making sure I didn't make the same mistake as last time I set off to Dragonsreach making sure to sell excess gear on my way there. There I met up with Farengar talking to Delphine

Finishing Bleak Falls Barrow and starting Dragon rising. I then went and talked to the Jarl. Well I jumped around while the unskipable conversation with the Guard happened

When that ended I was finally allowed to progress and actually talk to the Jarl where we were made able to buy property in the city.

Although considering we can get a load of new player homes for free as this is Anniversary edition I don't know if we'll be buying it but I'll still put it to the vote.

So I set off the to Western watchtower

getting there well before Irileth and although I thought with Uthgerd and Serana we would probably be able to take Mirmulnir down on our own it would be better to wait so the conversation at the end doesn't potentially bug out (I mean this is a Bethesda game best not to chance it)

Unfortunatley I couldn't get any good shots during the fight itself as I was rather focused on the dragon. But I found the combination of weapons chosen rather good for a dragon fight as the crossbow allowed me to hit Mirmulnir as he flew and the ebony war axe allowed me to deal quick damage on the ground. So thank you guys 👍 And with Serana, Uthgerd, Irileth and the guards the dragon went down rather fast (a bit disappointingly so if I'm honest as I was looking forward to a longer battle but it is want it is)

I then absorbed the dragon soul

And had force, unrelenting force automatically unlocked by it I was the approached by on of the guards who initiated dialogue

I then completed the optional objective to shout

before setting off back to Whiterun where I was summoned by the Greybeards and I saw two Alik'r warriors talking to the guards at the gate.

I chose to initiate the dialogue with the warriors in order to get In my tome of need in the quest log

I then returned to Balgruuf and completed the quest

It was here that we were made Thane and Lydia is given as a potential follower

Before the Storm

Okay so first things first before I even get my character properly dressed in this episodes gear I found myself attacked by some hired thugs outside the farmhouse. Luckily it was easily dealt with by Uthgerd and my farm workers as I was not dressed for combat. It turned out that the reason they attacked me was because of all that stuff I stole from the warehouse last time

Oops Still at least the chicken got some free entertainment

so first up after I got myself properly dressed I went back to Riften to talk with Tonilia about swapping out a piece of gear

before heading off to Riverwood to talk to Alvor about the events of Helgen that happened (checks watch) four in game months ago now. Sorry about the wait dude

I then made sure to take as much gear as possible from him and his shop to sell back later. (Which is how I got some of the new stuff own below ) I then set off towards Whiterun to start the quest properly

It was as I was riding that I decided to split the next quest Bleak falls Barrow into two as the current quest is rather short and Dragon Rising which happens after the Bleak falls quest is one that I always felt couldn't be put off. And so I decided that going through the dungeon and collecting the Dragonstone would be done this time and actually delivering it would be done the next time the main questline is chosen. Carrying on I quickly made it to Whiterun where I discoverd Dragonsreach

and met Irileth and the dialogue proceeded as follows

Before talking to the Jarl

After which the normal conversation between the Jarl, Irileth and Proventus happened. I just stayed nearby and spun the camera around waiting for it to end and I could go talk to Farengar and get the next quest objective.

Next I set off to Bleak Falls where I found a Frost troll along the path

Lovely Until finally reaching the dungeon itself.

My companions and I made quick work of the bandits around the entrance and we found our self swiftly racing through the dungeon. Although I did stop to watch the bandit kill himself in the puzzle room

Classic. The only things of note along the way to the word wall room was cutting down (well firebolting down) Arvel and then killing him before he could run away and get killed by a dragur. Why let the exp for killing him go to waste. And reading his journel

The next interesting part would be the claw puzzle which was as easy as ever

Before the final boss fight with the dragur overlord that was remarkably easy with three combatants (I didn't even use Undying ghost for this fight it went by that quickly). I then nabbed the Dragonstone and left the barrow thus ending this episode
