there's no such thing as breaking the game if you play as a mage, as is no damage amplifier for magic, fortify magic only reduceS the magica cost. I'm having a lot of fun with my level 81 tank mage.
I'm playing on master difficulty btw.

okay. screw it. im gonna try playing this game again. with a new character this time. imperial that specializes in magic, heavy armor and one handed weapons. :|
again, where do you guys get your awesome gears? im not talkin about the daedric armor and stuff like that. just.. nice armor received from loot/enemies and such.

i seriously wanna get back to skyrim.. but all this enchanting and smithing is making my head hurt.my weapons and armor look like poo poo compared to the ones i see here. :\
where do you guys get your loot? :|
and seriously, is there any video for smithing or enchanting for noobs?
I've had a ton of fun without doing much smithing or enchanting. You dont need super-crazy equipment to get by.

From what I gather it seems to be random, so...
i know. its just that my dude looks so horrible.
im tempted to just use my current guy (left him at lvl.13), and do the smithing hack till i can at least get the elven armor. after that, ill be content. would i be too overpowered tho?dragonplate armor is weaker than daedric armor. however dragonscale armor is the best light armor in the game.
there are no dragon weapons in the game, but daedric weapons are the best in every weapon classes.
i put a point into dragon just because I think dragonplate armor set looks really cool.

There are some amazing weapon mods out there. I would really hope that some of them, or some new weapons at all, make it to consoles.

If you are doing a mage, then do the collage of winterhold questline. You get some good gear from it
Thanks,I will try that later today...
Okay so I managed to delete my +100h save and I decided to start Skyrim again from the beginning. I have always played on the hardest difficulty and now when I started I can't beat anyone.
Playing on PC and I just noticed the enemies/monsters have regenerating health. Has this always been like this? This is SHIT. I'm seriously considering stopping the game because of that. I'm certain this wasn't the case when I first started my playthrough when Skyrim came out.
Fuck this.

Uh yeah. They regen HP. You have to either kill them faster, or stop them from regening. Since you're playing on the hardest difficulty you're going to want to craft some stuff to help yourself out.
Fire is one way to help yourself out. Per the wiki: "When enemies are on fire, they take extra damage from other weapons, which makes flames a good spell to wield alongside a one-handed weapon."
Also, enemies that are weak to fire won't regen HP when you use fire on them.
So, was doing a quest which required me to tail a npc and kill him. I was this close of killing him, when a freaking dragon jumped from the sky and ate him. Sure quest updated, but my expression on my face was something like O_O. It stole mah kill
wtf lmao I can imagine your expression when that happened. That's pretty damn epic lol didn't know that could happen.
Dragons can appear anywhere at any time. I quick traveled to a city once and a dragon flew overhead... and then a second one appeared a minute later, and I had to fight both of them at the same time while all the guards in the city were shooting arrows and shit. It was a pretty epic fight, especially since I had the mod that boosts how powerful they are.
Should have recorded it and share with usSo, was doing a quest which required me to tail a npc and kill him. I was this close of killing him, when a freaking dragon jumped from the sky and ate him. Sure quest updated, but my expression on my face was something like O_O. It stole mah kill
Answering that question would create huge spoilers for you lol...
I'm just afraid of doing something that will block me from further developing shouts.
I guess you missed the point. The game was hard on my first playthrough but not this hard. In short, did they add health regen for monsters because Trolls and Deadlords or whatever are hard as hell now. Trolls regen health immediately and I swear it wasn't like this at launch. I'm level 11 and have the best equip available at this time.
Is there a mod to remove that stupid health regen from monsters?
Just dont rush throught the main quest before you have most of them and you will be fine...
I guess you just suck at the game. Don't blame the game for your lack of skill.
Well considering I had a lvl 50 character with over 100 hours with the game, this doesn't feel anything like that.
ice cold haha
Trolls have always regenerated health immediately. Some other enemies can heal themselves.
I stumbled onto the fortify restoration-alchemy thing in game. I messed around with enchanting Aela's gear and yeah that is just game breaking. I enchanted my own gear under normal circumstances and I'm thinking that might be game breaking as well. Maybe they should have included hardcaps on more than just armor/damage reduction.
+40% One-hand damage caused my daderic sword to jump to 140'ish dmg. (max 1h, perks too). Worried that is a bit too high. On the other hand, it is tempting to make a rocket-launcher of a bow for those dragons that refuse to f'ing land.

Well leveling the skills like blacksmithing is kinda grindy, at least it feels that way to me.
that's a bit harsh.
on Master difficulty, I couldnt complete The House of Horrors untill I put some points into armsman in one-handed skill tree. without armsman, no matter how hard i swing, I did no damage at all, that old guy just keep on regening.

nope. I smithed myself a light dragon armour and improved it to legendary.....but i know I found Lydia's ebony mail armour somewhere at the end of a quest...likely either main quest line, daedric shrine quest, or mask of labyrinthian spin-off. Pretty sure it was in a chest after killing ...checks wiki......ok it was the

mind......... o-fish..ially....... BLOWN.
I hate grinding....but all i have left for a 100 in each of the three key skills (smithing, enchanting, alchemy) is 2 or 3 levels of alchemy....will definitely use the mask/helm glitch for those precious three levels!
Well leveling the skills like blacksmithing is kinda grindy, at least it feels that way to me.
yeah it can be ....but maxing potions and enchanted gear plus don't forget TRAINING makes what little effort you put into it pay off greater than in past games so to me it feels more smooth. Trying to improve mercantile in Oblivion was shittty as hell as I remember selling 300 arrows to vendors one.....arrrow......at......a......time.
also valk's post above about the headgear glitch (plus the fact you can wear mask plus helm if done in the right order apparently when I thought you could not) makes you able to enchant smithing and alchemy gear which boosts the benefit, which in turn makes better enchantments, etc, etc. etc. It really goes faster than you think as long as you max the benefits.
Be mindful of the time limits....30 seconds in 30 seconds whether you freeze the screen with a menu or not for enchanting and smithing....but I think potions stop with menus?
Always leave your follower in a safe place before trying out new abilities
I did that with the master fire spell. "Well, it probably won't hurt allies, since that would be dumb because it's AOE."
*Lydia dies*
"God damn it"
masks are already enchanted.
I use a circlet and a Falmer Helmet, you dont need to worry about the order n stuff, just equip them two straight up.
It could be that Ulric was using the Thalmor to help him get into position to fight. He has no love for the elves.
I thought it would be pretty sweet if the Stormcloaks won and then forged an alliance with the Redguards of Hammerfell. Together they could give the Thalmor a real run for their money. Especially if the Dragonborn can help...
Krosis has alchemy though right?
It's always three, actually. I noticed the same thing if you stop and restart in the middle of mining, but it's just a bug with the "Recieved [item]" messages only showing up 2 out of 3 times.

When is this game getting some DLC? I need it! I haven't played in a while, but am itching to get back into the world.
Would you guys say this game has much replay value?
The Storm Cloaks seem like a generally xenophobic, unlikable bunch so I'm not sure how appealing it is to go down that path, and would probably side with the Imperials anyway.
Similarly the character race I've chosen doesn't seem to have much impact? Maybe it's because I stupidly chose to play as a (very ugly) Wood Elf (with a terrible name, why can't I change these things? agh!) but I don't find the race specific stuff to really effect the gameplay that much, nor the storyline.
Cheers
