I haven't found it yet but, "dragonrend" forces a dragon to land too.

Yeah dragonrend you get with the main quest towards the end I believe. My roomate did only the main quest first so he spoiled some of the game for me but oh well.

I'm at level 50 right now, and I haven't leveled in weeks. Questing just doesn't improve my skills much anymore. Whatever perks I've got are pretty much the perks I'm stuck with.

Unless I feel like starting over with a new character. I'm really starting to get bored of this build - quests just feel like tedium because I can pretty much hack and slash through anything but I don't get any decent bonuses from them.

it would be worth your efforts to level all the skills to 100 so you can get all the perks.

if you're making potions, restoration and illusion are useless IMHO as potions are faster and require no magicka. technically you could even argue that an avid alchemist wouldn't even need enchantments but that's going a bit far. enchantments and smithing are crucial as you can make better equipment than anything you'll find in the game if you get these all up high enough.

To be straight, I only really use restoration for the Healing Hands. Despite giving her healing potions, Lydia doesn't always use them effectively and I have to force heal her so I am not left carrying all the sh!t I have loaded her down with.

And find everyone that can train and spend some money.

Well that is silly. A useful shout that you don't get until you need it least.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Damn. Now I am jonesing for Skyrim!

 

[H-ost]

From what I have seen you need it more than once for the main quest... I've said too much....

Nah. I have read a lot about functions of Skyrim but avoid the walkthroughs.

 

[H-ost]

I've been very choosy about which shouts to learn. From those of you farther in the game, is this necessary? Will I have enough souls to fully learn them all or should I keep picking which ones I want?

I have 16 unused souls right now.

I decided to make another character...

I am making, what I think will be, a difficult spellsword. The reason I say difficult is because the play style will take some getting used to to use all the skills in a balanced and efficient way and it might take some time before I have a good amount of perks into any one thing.

I rolled a spellsword for my first character. Had a blast playing him, unfortunately I have reached a point (lvl 35) where the game is way too easy and I havent even started the main quest yet. I think I am going to reroll a argonian assassian/theif

So far I have 3 characters above 30. That seems to be the point for all of them that the game starts to get too easy. It might be time to start another one.

Do you have the difficulty up?

Argonian assassin/theif is what my "main" is right now.

I have made 4 characters and it is around this level that I remake for a change of pace.

My spellsword is lvl40, everything dies easy. Started over with a sneaky kittycat.


Been a few days, better go play...

Managed to get up to level 54 by taking the alchemy potency perks and making the more valuable potions. Alchemy is at 99.

So, here's where I'm curious. If I can get all the potency perks in alchemy and enchanting, I should be able to make super-strong fortify enchantment potions, which I can drink to make super-strong fortify alchemy enchantments, which I can wear to make even stronger potions... is there a point of diminishing returns here or can I just use one to make the other stronger indefinitely?

After months of not touching Skyrim, I dove back in headfirst this weekend.

After the first axe to the skull of a Draugr, I wondered why the hell I haven't played this game in so long.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

I decided to focus on clearing out miscellaneous quests.

Got it down to 1 page of quests. Bought the house in Markarth to become Thane there too. If nothing else, and if Lydia does tank for good, I have another follower spawned at a high skill level.

Wonder if there is any perk to owning property in all of the holds. Or being Thane in all of the holds.

I was thinking... If they made cooking a skill then they should definitely have a brewing perk to make either beer or mead! They should also let you buy either a new or existing meadery that you could make profit off. You could let it sit and make money very slowly but the more often you showed up to make batches the more you would gain.

You'd just drink all the profits.

 

[H-ost]

I would, but they didn't add an alcohol effect to the game!

Mead drains intelligence and willpower. I'd say they nailed the effect.

(stamina regenerates slower)

Now, what would be funny is if you drank too many, say 4 or 5, your sneak was impared as a result of yeast farts.

I mean they don't have any blurred vision, loss of control over your character, or funny phrases your character says. If they did it would be funny to take on a dragon after a night at the Bannerd Mare.

Ahhh. Well, there is still this one night I am trying to remember. Even though that devil dude gave me his rose stick, I still got people accusing me of stuff I couldn't possibly do.

I mean, really, I walk around all day with a voluptious woman named Lydia who cracks skulls with magic war axes and tells me she'll do anything I want but I can't get her stripped down for anything.

And I am really supposed to believe I gave a goat to a Giant?

Phsshaaaw!

Now, had I woke up with a goat in my bed .....

I might actually believe it.



Forthermore, only 3 drinks? WTF?

Must have been JagerMeister.

I was there that night, you did only have 3 drinks (lightweight). You started getting all sappy and felt bad for all the giants you killed so you decided to go make a peace offering. Everything was all well and good until you got a little sick and vomited in one of their buckets of mammoth cheese.

Oh and Lydia... heh well it turns out she is a lightweight as well but you were too preoccupied with your giants that... nah I shouldn't get into the details...

 

[H-ost]

Wow they nerfed smithing leveling... On my new character I just tried smithing for the first time and after 2 daggers, some hide armor, and some jewlery I did not level it once.

I swear I remember leveling it up a few times with just one dagger...

Yeah I think that was in the last patch.

That isn't right. I have all the patches and I get a step with each dagger.
