Maybe I'm not far enough in the game, but here's everything I recall: (these all have snow variations) Wolf Skeezer/Rat Troll Mammoth Rabbit Fox Giant Elk Bandits Hunters Army personnel Skeletons. Dragons Walrus thingies Did I forget anything? Have I not played the game enough? I'm level 17 and I've explored what I feel is a good portion of the map (nothing on the outer edges). Is it really not that diversified? the dwarven robots(centurions), bears, crabs, horkers, saber cats, spriggans hmm think i saw some more cant remember now | ||

Now I am just wondering if there is any super difficult end game stuff I could take a crack at. Once I realized (super early) that dual casted destruction staggers everything (even dragons) and staves are OP there has not been any challenge combat wise. Throw me a tell if you guys have encountered anything really hard. Ive never been able to kill the dragons with destruction, second or third dragon in main story (kynesgrove?) i got like 15% of its health down and then ran out of magicka, and it doenst really regen fast at all in combat | ||

Then you would create a gear specified for smithing, enchanting and alchemy to suppliment, with the smithing gear you'd be able to improve dragonplate armor to give you a ton of armor (Thinking 300+ for the entire set), combined with 50% more armor from perks, you would then enchant double enchantments (From enchanting 100 perk), you could reduce spell cost by 100% quite easily, and enchant your boots/ring (Not sure if you can enchant resistance to necklace) to give you 100% resistance against every spell type, you could swap out ring/Boots with different kind of resistances depending on the opponent in the worst case. You'd basicly be a god, with free destruction spells, a huge amount of armor and full magic resistance, this is possible even without using the alchemy/enchant cycle. I posted this about 20 pages back. And I don't feel bad about doing it because of how badly other casters and melee would rape me. I spam incinerate with 96% reduced cost and I can go oom. Also now that I know this I'm thinking about min/maxing a caster with perks, seeing how much bang I can get out of everything with being able to skip a bunch of points. Also I have some 234% magicka regen, 51 fire frost lightning resist, and 118 extra magicka. | ||

The story is fantastic, the gameplay is amazing, yes there are a few bugs, but they don't detract from the game too much This is no poorly designed, this is a game that took a SHIT LOAD OF TIME to make. Trust me this is a true role-playing game, there is no other modern-generation game that comes even remotely close to the scale of this game. Haha, this is the last post in reply to my critique on buggyness and graphics/ragdoll what I saw in a demo video. Obviously you all disagree with me  That must mean I'm wrong and biased. I trust the TL userbase. I might dig into it some deeper. And I wasn't trolling. I honestly think it looks messy and buggy (and weird...). | ||

I mean, will it cap you so you are unable to level up that Destruction to the max like you were planning ? No the way it works is there are skills and then there are perks. Skill ranks make doing that thing a bit easier/more effective but perks is where all the real bonuses come from (and these perks are based on skill points from levelling up). A perfect example is smithing. A 100 smithing level will let you improve any armour type and generally to be a very high level of improvement. However even if you can improve things it doesn't mean you can craft things. You need the skill perks to craft stuff like dragon armour or dwarven armour. So you don't lose anything tangibly. However, skills that reach higher ranks provide more exp to your current level. So that means that if all your skills are at level 20 you will level slower than someone who has 2 skills at 100. I have spent some 40 hours in game and only at level 20 almost. I spend a lot of time exploring and I have a number of skills at differing levels and have not farmed skills like smithy whereas other people have. The issue with farming a non combat thing though is that while you are a higher level the combat level is low so you have a hard time fighting people in straight up fights. | ||

The first 10 or so levels can be annoying if you find no gear but if you run off to do the winterhold quest asap you end up with a couple game changing mage items (hardly a spoiler as it is the mage college main quest). | ||

Can i cast magic at someone from a distance while sneaking and they wont find me? no there is however a perk to make spellcasting silent to everyone except you either way one of the most important factors in sneaking is if there is light on you, and spells glow a lot (light sort of mattered in oblivion then became massively important as of fallout 3) On November 15 2011 18:10 frontliner2 wrote: so you saw some youtube video of the 1/10000 times the game physics flip outHaha, this is the last post in reply to my critique on buggyness and graphics/ragdoll what I saw in a demo video.
