Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
SirNathanQ:
I love Skyrim! How did I miss this thread?
anyway, I've got about 130 hours, and have beaten all the main quests with a melee-oriented Nord, who's about level 30 or so. I went Imperial with him. I then made a "Cheat" character (for purposes of pushing the game to it's limit w/ various effects and such.)
BTW, Sir William, with perks you can get backstab to x15 damage. W/ the dark brotherhood gauntlets, it becomes x30.
Leganoth:
Actually just found a copy of The Witcher (the first one) so im gonna see how it is
Sir William:
Leganoth, that is in addition to level-by-usage...any powers or abilities you use regularly are going to level up on their own; I think what you're talking about are the Perks for those abilities. I leveled my Smithing ability to 100 by making and upgrading weapons and armor, smelting ore into usable ingots and tanning hides to make leathers and leather strapping. Any skill you use will level on its own, but the Perks are important too. For instance, my Smith ability is 100, but if I didn't add the Perks for different types of armor, I wouldn't be able to make anything beyond the iron and steel armors. I also wouldn't be able to make them better than they were originally. I wanted the armor so I went hard on that...so I'm a level 35 Nord Warrior wearing Legendary Dragonscale armor (there are differing degrees of upgrades, Legendary seems to be the best of the type of upgrades); I carry an upgraded Daedric sword and an upgraded Daedric bow with a lightning augmentation. I use a Firebolt spell w/the sword instead of a shield- just because I don't see a need for a shield at this point, unless I'd use it for some other augmentation that I'm not currently needing.
Keep the Perks for the skills you use the most...I think you'll get the most bang for the buck like that. I'm looking to be fully leveled (or close) in One-Hand skill and Archery.
I'm at 95 hours now and I seem to keep getting mired down in side and miscellaneous type quests...great fun, great fun...that Redguard character's just gonna have to wait.
Sir Edward:
I ended up getting distracted away from it. I'll get back to playing sooner or later. But in a way I got a little gamed-out after a long stretch of SWTOR. Heh. :)
Sir William:
Sir Edward...if I were you, I'd take a solid week and clear your mind of the Force imperatives; when you dive into Skyrim, you'll be fresh and ready. Its gonna get you!
Sir Nathan, thanks for that headsup...I knew there was some modifier for the Backstab, just forgot what that was. Sorta precludes the need for a sword if you're an adept at Sneak...I charmed my boots w/a Muffle spell so my armor doesn't clink or clank when I'm moving in sneak mode; just learned an invisibility spell that I haven't put to use yet but figure it'll be MONSTER coupled with the Backstab. Got a Glass dagger I made just for that job...haven't enchanted it yet because I'm trying to decide if it would be worth enchanting. I mean, I guess I could tie an Absorb Stamina or Damage Stamina spell to it, but is that really necessary? That's a one-hit kill for almost anyone just about, right?
