I am amused by the fact that you bothered to make a picture for that.

On topic, I like light armor way better. While Daedric armor does make you look like a boss, so does the Nightengale armor. Now that I went a looked at the trees, I have to agree that the light armor skill tree is way better. If you go heavy, you trade out stamina regen and damage avoid for less fall damage (which you shouldn't be taking anyways), less stagger which, face it, in the late game you just destroy everything before it can hit you, and reflected damage. I much prefer the light armor.

There's a shout to prevent fall damage, and I think you get it in the course of doing the main questline. Spending a perk seems like a waste.

The Nightengale armor does look awesome, and if you refine it, it has pretty good stats, but glass ended up even better, and there's a dragon one even better than that. TBH, full glass armor does give off the "I'm badass" vibe. The rediculous enchants I put on mine to back it up don't hurt.

I think the real thing to consider is that the heavy armor tree requires 3 extra perks spent to get full damage resistance and free movement.

Plus, all the heavy armor is more expensive to make.... oh wait, that's right, money isn't an issue. Nvm. With the for-mentioned AR cap it's almost pointless to have heavy armor in the end game. Daedric armor is insane to try to get until later in the game and it's really hard to farm Daedra hearts. The best light armor is made from dragons which are absurdly common. So even in rarity Light is way better.

My only complaint is that the enemies became incredibly boring after a while. I mean, sure, knights, wild animals, whatever, but a good 90% of the monsters were Draugers or Drauger variations. They could have really done something about that.

That is the exact reason why I can't play Skyrim to much. My only reprieve is when I find a dungeon with a dragon priest. That is an interesting fight. One of the only times I actually need to use a shout other than Dragonrend.

I just fought Falmer and Chaurus for the first time last night, and it was actually fairly challenging. I also made it to the Graybeards and joined the mage college.

By the time I got to the falmer, I could sneak past all of them since they're blind.

I still haven't really been bothering with sneaking, and I kill everything I see in an attempt to level my magic skills. I didn't have any major issues with the Falmer/Chaurus, but I did die once when I got swarmed. I basically just kited them through the dungeon and took them down that way.

I had to fight a troll and an ice troll on the way up the 7000 steps and had to use the same tactic. Sprint away, turn around and blast face for a few seconds, sprint away...etc.

I hate fighting that way. I feel like I'm cheating.

I don't feel that way at all. Not only will I kite to kill things, but I'll abuse terrain too. I see no issues with it, it's exactly what I would do were I actually in the game and my life were on the line. I did the same thing on my thief with her bow at times, especially when I had to kill two giants at once.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I also raided a bandit camp that was full of sissies that died in 1-2 seconds, and I found some fort that had been taken over by mages. That was actually a pretty fun time, though I kind of wish I had had a ward spell at that point. I made some good money clearing that place out, lots of soul gems and potions and enchanted items and such.

Using the terrain to your advantage should be a must in any game, IMO.
My original mission was the gather all shouts, so I ended fighting a lot of Dragon Priests, at least four. Haven't played in a long time, though.

Exploiting terrain can certainly take away from the experience, though. I mean, if it takes me 30 shots from my bow to kill a giant and the only way I can kill them is by exploiting terrain, it does start to feel very much like cheating.

On my mage, it tends to be more just strafing and kiting. I've gotten very good at avoiding both melee and ranged attacks by strafing and sometimes jumping. Other than that, I'll use trees or other obstacles to my advantage when I'm leading enemies around. I've only actually exploited terrain once, and that was with a troll I could have just as easily killed face to face. At the time, I was on some rocks above the guy, and saw a rock close enough for me to jump down to but far enough away that he couldn't attack me, and roasted him like that.

Well that's a bit different, I mean... they could at least learn how to jump over things. I never really used bow, very often.

When I use a bow it's generally in a situation where I won't have to exploit any terrain because I am OHKOing whoever I shoot.

I'm slowly gathering all the shouts. I need to do some more quests to unlock the rest of them though.

I mostly use my bow to distract NPCs, though I haven't had much need of that recently.

I use it to get my souls for enchanting. It's enchanted with the soul capture at within 1 second.

I have three swords - all the same type, so same average damage output.
A fire, an absorbing health and a soul trapper. So for the most part soul trapping is just part of the fight.

I used to do dual daggers, one enchanted with soul trap, but then I found that I was filling my good gems with crap souls. At that point I started having a separate weapon for that.

That's the point of the bow. I just snipe from afar and get a grater soul.

I never really enchanted anything until way late, like 30+, so my gems were pretty fine however they were, regardless. I didn't care.

Pretty much the same here. I didn't start enchanting until the endgame. Level 50 actually. I was just looking for another skill to get high up.

Just in case anyone hadn't found out, three DLC's have been leaked to be in the process of creation:

http://vehq.net/skyrim-dlc-info-leaked/

I just can't wait personally to be able to mount a dragon and fight other dragons in the sky or rain havoc on a town. Or when I'll be able to give my horse armor so it'll stop dying to Ancient Dragons.

Or you could have gone the kill people way of the Dark Brotherhood and gotten a almost god like horse.

No they needed to die.

I think Skurai will get a kick out of these.

Omg those are amazing. I almost wanna get them just so that people who see me playing skyrim say WTF?

You're really starting to worry me Asamin. I think you've been talking to Skurai too much.

No, I just have 3 sisters. And I'm really bored at home 90% of the time.

I'm pissed that Wars in Skyrim got the axe. :mad:

Holy fuck.

The best mod is the Macho Man Randy savage mod..hands down!

You really have to appreciate old school WWF (WWE) to really like it...

The boots are great.
