Whats the relation to stormcloaks to that?
Those outsiders just dont belong in Skyrim
Tomorrow (then Ill play Skyrim again), Im doing the siege on Solitude, in my all new stormcloak officer armor or the elven armor Ulfric gave me.. (dont ask me how he got it!)
Also, I really like these High Elves/Thalmor.

Completed Blackreach cavern last night.
Fantastic stuff.

Going one hander backed with conjuration currently but on next playthrough will likely go double destro. I've read magic is somewhat overpowered compared to melee/shooting ingame? Certinaly the toughest bosses I've faced so far have been caster heavies.
Does a heavy magic build knock the edge of the games challenge in your opinions?

No.
I practically dont have any spells, am level 9 and a half, but my sword kicks ass, even more when using 2 of them.

Hey all!

just finished the main-quest line! not as epic as i had hoped for, though....
easily done it within 20 minuts, of wich i fought Alduin for only 3 minutes.... quite dissapointing

The Boss thing in 20 minutes, I presume..

The boss was 2 seconds for me >_<

I really wish you could have looted Alduin's body for bones and scales after you kill him.

Because you abused a power feedback loop...

It isn't hard to see that if you make a game easier it gets easier

Would be cool to do that, but even cooler if they were unique items, that allowed you to create a unique set of armor, or Dragon weapon.

Seriously, Sol quite complaining about it being so easy and being done with it etc

When I killed him on my first playthrough I noticed that for a split second his body was an option to search, but I didn't click fast enough to see if anything was inside.

With my new character I will see if I can get it open.

I have to do something when I'm bored at work.

All the interesting games don't get enough attention on here so I have to stick with something that's actually active

Nothing's in there, when I killed him.

I went double destruction and i can attest that it is very strong. But the game isn't very hard on normal at all. I did an expert play-through with a stealth character and that was much more interesting. Sadly master difficulty just guarantee you will spend the game messing with the dumb ai

Double casting destruction is silly powerful.

But can be limiting if you're holding yourself to the paradigm of pure mage. I finally relented and crafted a full suit of Dwemer armour when I got sick of my Wizard dying to two strokes of a bandit's battleaxe.

The other thing is that it doesn't scale like other attacks. the spells pretty much have the same damage output regardless of level, they just take less Mana to cast.

it seems like Magic is really powerful at low levels while combat skills are better at high levels.

So dnd is linear warrior, quadratic mage, while TES is linear mage, quadratic warrior?

something like that.


But I think they really killed magic by taking away the ability to create your own spells like in oblivion. I liked my Destruction Hammer o Doom(Silver Warhammer with 50 Frost, Lightining, and Fire damage in 50 ft radius on strike)

That would imply that the tes warrior and DnD mage have turning points, they seem to be closer to exponential.

A daedric artifact in the form of a staff that has a random spell effect on cast that ranges from summoning dremora to damage to frenzy to turning the target into a pastry.

Has anyone else become a Vampire yet?

I had the thought of having my own badass vampire knight, but the improvements you get from being a vampire seem paltry compared to previous games (especially Morrowind) Have I got some kind of lame version of the disease, that just turns you into the guy from Nosferatu, or is that it? Is there any way of improving it?

The second cool part of my plan was to live in one of the big ruined fortresses I had cleared out, but I take it any items I leave lying around will just disappear if I just leave them there?

I got the disease, then I drank a Cure Diseases potion and it went away

Besides, its too much trouble to feed regularly so you don't burn up every time you go outside.
