Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I definitely have gotten the most out of my rogue, but I'm enjoying playing my mace in on hand, spell in the other Orc. Haven't tried sword and board or pure mage yet.

As a stealth guy, I actually feel pretty overpowered. I lead in with a long range stealth attack that does x3 damage. One shots most mobs and takes off a pretty good chuck from bosses, especially when it crits. When they come for me I just stand perfectly still and they usually don't find me. Then I hit em' with another to finish them off. I'm doing the Forbidden Legends quest and I've killed 2 of the bosses like that in 2-3 shots. If I use any potions or poisons, forget about it.

Lately, I've been trying to take a more "direct" approach. Direct meaning that instead of sniping people I'll sneak up behind for x30 backstabs. Instant kills even bosses, which is just ridiculous lol. I'm using Mehrune's Dagger, a Glass Dagger (Legendary-Soul Trap Enchant), Ebony Bow (Legendary) and default DB armor. Yeah I definitely feel overpowered as ****.

Similar happens with my 2h heavy armor, I happen to be doing the same quest and

Spoiler

1 of the guys never was even able to hit me, in fact he died before any of the other coffins could pop. The second was a bigger pain with his little disappearing act, but he still died in three shots.

I love some of these dungeon quests with the Draugr Deathlords... that have all of the traps/spike doors, etc. Just lure them to the area, and let the door take care of them

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Turns out in my case I can't get it to start is because the person who is supposed to be found dead first, I already killed for a Dark Brotherhood quest. Now I can't do the quest, buy the House, or become a Thane of Windhelm, all because somebody thought it would be a good Idea to have a character essential to all of that, die as a part of another quest. How damn stupid is that?

I actually like it because it makes the world more realistic. If you're going to go out and assassinate people you can't expect for the world to work in your favor 100% of the time.

That's why I'm trying my best to hold off the DB line. I don't want to run into any problems like that. I did just enough to get the default armor.

Has anyone ever seen the "double backstab damage" enchant on gear from the merchants? I'd love to have that.

I love how everything is scripted in a totally non scripted way. From dialogue to random encounters and everything. Everything feels organic. My wife only plays the Sims but we compete who plays this game. Too awesome.

Can't you disenchant it?

If I could find it on a merchant I could, but I can't DE the DB set.

I would agree if it didn't completely block an entire series of events. I wasn't indiscriminately killing people, it was an assigned mission that blatantly interfered with several more important events. And being blocked out of those things isn't exactly realistic when we're talking about a serial killer anyway. If you want realism, it would actually kill someone else in their place, as it's not like he would've magically stopped killing there.

Omg, I love the fist throwing Cat I made. He kills things so easily. The first dragon you fight went down too easily with my fists. I don't even have the plus 10% unarmed bonus enchanted on my stuff yet. Love the finishing moves with the fists as well, lol. I hope I see a finishing move on a dragon with my fists, would be crazy.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Loving the game every minute of it, I never thought anyone would get dragons right in a video game. Only two issues I have one the dragons are way to easy to kill I would have much rather had them be as difficult as a big daddy to take down. My second gripe is the combat system, Dark Souls takes the cake here by a long shot. Still GOTY if not this then Batman.

I agree about dragons but also understand why they are easy. The games focus point is dragon souls so I can understand the reasoning of making them not to tough. Elder and blood dragons are ok though and can kill you if your ambushed.

I liked demon/dark souls but making the combat like that in this game would be horrendous. I do agree that the combat system could use some work. Sone ideas that I thought of would be a actual counter system, parrying and such, body parts system. Example would be if you shot a bandit in the arm he holds his sword in then he drops the sword. If there are a lot of armor on a opponent the game should focus on hitting his week points. Like you have to shoot a arrow between his shoulder guards and arm plating. Etc.

I felt the same way about the dragons up until I ran into the Elder and Ancient dragons, around level 28-30. They are true PITA's and I can't imagine what the Bone and higher level ones will be like.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I pick pocketed someone and found a note that told me the end of one quest that I hadn't done yet and was the beginning of another quest. That was weird.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Hey, I have acquired a lot of different shouts, however they say I need Dragon Souls to use them. I've killed a LOT of dragons, do I need to do something in particular to unlock these shouts? Spoiler tag it if you need to. Are they unlocked with main dragons of the quest Im assuming?

Go to the shouts screen on the magic page, go to the shout you want to activate and push (X) or whatever system you are on. It says at the bottom of the screen.

That will use one of your dragon souls to activate the shout for good.
