Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I only do Health and Stamina. Stamina is HUGE for the way I play, using the power attacks, and the "slashing" nature of my Sword & Board guy. Can't tell you how many times that I run out of stamina, and my attacks are basically worthless until I can use a stamina potion or get lucky and get a critical hit due to timing.

If I run out of stamina, I just switch to magic and blast away. No problems. I wear heavy armor, but I craft my own and enhance it with magic based enchantments. It works out pretty well.

Anyhow. Anyone have any advice on leveling alchemy?

Trainers and just making cheap potions. Buy cheap materials at stores to do that as well. And/Or use the Thief standing stone to learn stealth skills 20% faster.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Just hit 70 hrs on this "broken" game and still having a blast! I'm trying to clear out a bunch of quests so I feel like I'm actually doing something.
Also as soon as you feel comfy with yourself, something comes along and tests you to the limit. What a great, great game.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I was wondering if I can get some help fellas.

I was looking to make a character strong in one handed weapons [which i can apply magic to and upgrade], who also uses left handed fire and the like.

I would like to, if i can, have him tread lightly in terms of gear. Do I have to use steel or iron armors just because i want to specialize in hand combat? Or can I find decent gear for that type of player that isnt heavy like that.

I know this sounds like a newb question but thats what i am when it comes to non sports games, especially, RPGs as deep as this.

What;s the best way to go about it? I mean, are there any tips on getting there smoothly.

The items, magic screens are overwhelming! lol

My character is already a Nord, if that helps or matters.

Thanks guys!

eco, the weapon and armor skill trees are completely separate. You can concentrate on one-handed weapon and concentrate on light or heavy armor.

In the 1H weapon tree are perks to specialize in axes, maces, or swords so when you figure out which direction you want to go you can make yourself better with that type. Axes are slow but do more damage, swords are fast and do less damage, maces are right in the middle of both.

As far as armor goes, light armor consists of types like leather, studded, elven, glass and dragonscale, etc. Heavy armor types are iron, steel, dwarven, orcish, dragonplate, etc.

The confusion probably lies in the fact that you can have a steel mace, a dwarven sword, a elven axe, or a glass mace. These are all 1H weapons and it doesn't matter what armor you use while wielding them. Their damage is determined by your 1H skill not your light/heavy armor skill.

Hope that clears something up.

I thought it was the axes with a happy medium while the maces are the strongest/slowest.

OM*BLEEP*G that was funny. Thank you

Hmmmm, actually I think you're right. I'm visualizing the 1H perk tree and I know axe is on the left, mace in the middle and swords on the right. Was basing my original comment on that but I think I'm wrong.
