+ Show Spoiler + I'm trying to get into winterhold college on my warrior character, to get in the guard wants me to cast flame atranoch which costs 132 mana, I only have 100 as I have not put anything into mana. I'm trying to get into winterhold since It seems I need to do a quest there to get into saarthal for the last piece of the amulet. | ||

These fuckers really owned me. I was exciting a tomb into bright daylight and they waited right next to the door. Exposed in melee range without an invisibility spell yet my sneaky archer was helpless and died for the first time with level 13 or so. | ||

OH that reminds me I have a Q. Can anyone suggest any extremely powerful humans they have fought? I need some prime targets for my two thralls...

I wanted to avoid a dragon (because just getting boring and I have 50+ bones and scales), so I jumped into a crevasse of water and wandered around.

Really nice touch imo. if you arent caught how do they know who stole? if they know who stole why dont they tell the guards? really bad touch imo it should be, if you rob from someone who doesnt like the guards AND you get caught, if you dont kill them (wound until they give up) or something they sometimes send thugs random thugs makes no sense having real outcomes affected by who you kill and leave alive is a much deeper moral choice system than purely 100% evil 100% good you get from speech ;/ for huge fans of rp and stuff im sure this is a great game, but am i the only one who finds the combat being so simplistic a bit boring? im never going to be a huge role play guy, and it seems like with the years of work they put in the game adding a deeper combat system would be relatively easy. decent combo style gameplay with weapons, some way to make casting magic more exciting than point and click. for me it really limits how much i can enjoy the game when it feels like theres walls in how much you can do because the skill cap seems so low. you either are high enough level, with suitable gear whatever to do a dungeon or you arent, so binary that it might aswell not be a sand box because you cant just run to any dungeon and do it, no matter how skilled you are. how am i supposed to be the boxer of skyrim if i cant micro : D | ||

There is a mod out that helps with the blockyness of the shadows, and gives them a more smooth animation when in motion. Also, bare in mind that shadows are one of the most high demanding effects on a PC, and even if you get a good Framerate,it could be that you just don't have a PC that can run the shadows 100%. | ||

At rare armors now by making dwarf metal ingots or w.e I got mine by making a good fast-travel route through the world, going to all the blacksmiths and buying them out and noting where I can steal some that they have laying around. The Blacksmith in Solitude is the best, I think I stole around 30 ingots there every time they spawned. But it takes about 2 ingame days for a Blacksmith to restock on Iron, they usually have 17-35 from what I've gathered. Also, if you're stealing from houses, make sure to wear your sneaking gear, because if you're looking to do this fast, waiting for them to be out of the house may take a while. | ||
