The Ultimate Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Thread

Skyrim was great, but I accidentally the Mages College.

That's ok. I once accidentally all of whiterun. And I don't mean the city. I mean the hold. I swear, I was just trying to get 100 pick pocketing.

Well, for me it was Whiterun, but before I had permission to get in the College.
There was a dragon. I used Fus-Ro-Dah, and... well... A guard got in the way.
Kinda B.S., really.

Most of the times I've killed a guard I manage to get all the witnesses or just pay it off (I'm in the thieve's guild). My annoying story was when I got fined for punching a kid that was beating up another kid. They didn't fine the kids!

Meh. You can't expect games to think everything through, sadly.

I just glitched Oghma Infinium and got 100 on all my Skills and jumped from level 21 to level 80.

Seems kind of boring now.

Lets move all Skyrim related discussion here.

Continuing what I was saying:

Physical damage reduction is capped at 80%. If you are wearing all four pieces of armor, this occurs at 567 displayed armor rating.

Therefore, having a plate armor with 1500 AR is pointless. The article does go on to say that there is a possibility of reducing damage to 0 with 100 block and a shield.

Thank you for the full move and the rename. Much better name IMO

Hmm. I could swear it was under 400 AC. Regardless, I'm terribly OP as it is.

Pretty much once you get your weapon's skill above level 80 and your armor up there, you're a god.

I just made a Breton which I'm going to take the way of the mage, he's level 7 or so now and not having much trouble. I can't say that playing him is as easy as my thief character that had 50 skill points in archery nearly from the start of the game and maxed pickpocketing and sneak almost without trying.

Thief is the easiest type of character to play. I have a heavy armor guy who wasn't really that easy to play till late game

A fun thing to do is, during the tutorial mission, when you're supposed to snipe the bear, keep ducking, sneak behind the tutorial character, and attack him. Any method you want, magic, knives, swords, whatever.
Sneak skyrockets like fuck, and whatever you're attacking with launches up, too. Just don't move too much or the bear will get upset. I was level 17, uber thief by the time I left that cave.

I tried to do that with my second character, it got to boring to fast.

I had to stop playing this week. Skyrim load screenz = anger issues.

I don't know if it's fast on PC but on PS3 it's terrible. I try to avoid as many buildings as I can.

You can utilize this method even after the "tutorial mission". You just have to go to his house.

Oh reeeeeeeaaaaaally?
I assume you can also do this with Lydia, or anyone of the sort.

My first (and favorite) character is a Redguard who focused on Light Armor, Alchemy, and Two-Handed swords. It got to the point where I could one-shot dragons with a single swing. Armor isn't as strong as Heavy, but looking at the perks, Light Armor is the only good Armor.

Heavy armor with that one skill that makes it weigh nothing, ftw.

My goal right now is to get the Daedric armor set and walk around like a bawss, mace-slappin' thy hoez left nd right. Bitch Betta have my gold pieces.
