  1. I used to play skyrm like you (don't expect what you are expecting.) but then I stopped enjoying it at about level 30. I realised that there is hardly any roleplay in that game. Things that you say to npc's just doesn't really affect anything much, you can only make several important decisions yourself (join Stormcloaks/Empire ? Kill the talking dog/ let him live? Destroy DB / join DB).

    I find this problem in almost all today RPGs. The only one that was good in this matter and that I've played was Dragon age, which had a really good use of dialogues, the things you said did influence how the npc will threat you in the future, there were over 10 different endings possible. But combat system was awful in that game :/.

     

    If you are talking about Dragon Age 2, then all points you made are invalid.

  2. Been playing since vanilla release. Right now sitting on my main an 85 prot warrior, 85 resto/enhance shammy, 85 mage, 85 druid, 80 DK, 85 hunter, 80 warlock, 80 paladin, 70 rogue and 42 priest. I play on and off, right now more off than on. Plan on playing the warrior and shaman during MoP.

    My current bookshelf. Have almost 1k books on it as of right now. Most every physical book I did own is on there! Donated all the old paper books I had besides the ones I love the most.

  4. I used to play Skyrim, but I was borrowing it, and I had to give it back.

    I played a nord who used 2 handed swords and heavy armor. I beat the game, and then I started over with a conjuring mage. And dang, are atronarchs amazing. Also, when you conjure weapons, you get experience for both the weapon and the magic.

     

    Problem with conjured weapons is that, while they scale with level you cant improve them via smithing or enchanting. I do agree that Atronachs are the shit but in vanilla skyrim I think they should last a bit longer.

     

    If people are looking for a fun gimmick try playing a summoner class. That means you major in conjuration and you never directly attack anything yourself, you let your pets and followers do all the work. It is actually surprisingly fun.

  5. Yeah I really need to rank up my smithing. Any suggestions? I just make a bunch of iron daggers :)

     

    No that doesnt work anymore, just make whatever you can and mine every node you find.

    Note that as of the 1.5 patch, the value of the item being created factors into skill gain. Therefore, crafting Iron Daggers will yield a small gain and can no longer be used to quickly level the Smithing skill. Smithing can still be leveled reasonably effectively by making jewelry, although not quite as quickly as Iron Daggers before the patch. An efficient method of raising your smithing level quickly is to go to Halted Stream Camp north of Whiterun. Inside, the spell tome Transmute Mineral Ore can be found, along with several iron ore veins. By transmuting the ore from mining into silver and then gold, jewelry can be mass produced. Adding jewels increases the value of the item produced, so this should be done where possible.

     

    Also if you want insane damage numbers you need to max out enchanting and alchemy as well.

  6. Cross post fromt he what are you playing right now thread. Got the platinum trophy in the PS3 version, but I play it on PC now since I got the collectors edition for PC.

    Started with this.

    After some tweaking turned it into this.

    Decided to start a 2h character, Orc this time. Usually I roll Breton because the passive magic resist is by far the best racial.

    The only problem with using the shaders is that recording anything drops it to around 16 fps which is just untolerable as seen here.

     

     

     

    But yeah this kind of thing is the reason why you get Bethesda games on PC.

     

    Here are my current weapons. On my as of this moment main, a Bosmer sneaky archer type.

     

    This is my current go to bow, use it for killing anything and everything that I dont one shot.

    Here is my sniping bow, the Mehrunes Razor enchant gives me a chance at killing anything instantly, I usually start off using this.

    NOTE: I forgot I didnt have my Marksman amulet on so theres a damage difference, usually the Elven bow is around 250.

     

    Here is a bow I made experimenting with the easily exploitable smithing loop, I dont use this because it makes master difficulty no fun at all

    Also here is my armor rating , smithing is by far the best tree to max out after your main combat perks. This is about 300 over the cap, which is around 500 or 80% damage resistance.

    Not that I need it, I never get found, max sneak with all sneak enchants and silent casting/invisibility means I never have to come out of hiding unless its a god damn dragon.
