How well do "troll builds" work in this game? And by that I mean, for example, I want to make a mage who levels up NOTHING but magic the entire game, no health, no stamina. Never use anything but spells and conjured weapons, and no normal armor. Basically, can you make anything work if you try hard enough, or would something like what I'm suggesting be just laughably bad, and unable to get past anything.
Youll be a glass cannon but it can work im sure. Archers will wreck you if you get seen though on any higher difficulty level

the gloves only give double to backstab.
Backstab is only x6 but u can do it with any one-handed weapon, so it doesnt have to be a dagger.
edit: its hard to type on my phone, will correct the spelling when im home. sorry
edit2: did the typos

So many quests are bugged or dont work for me.
I'm doing one in Markarth where I need to find Margret's evidence or something, but she has nothing. Go to the inn, then go to the upper room in the first hallway on the left, look in the end table (maybe just on top?) for Margret's Journal. Took me a solid 30 minutes poking around the place to find it :\ You can also ask about it in town and people will point you to SilverBlood inn. Or maybe I just asked the inn keeper can't remember. I didn't find any evidence on Nepo or Thalmor though, although I sneaked into their houses :/ Show nested quote +On November 17 2011 00:14 ZeromuS wrote:On November 16 2011 23:28 HwangjaeTerran wrote:
A Night to Remember is possibly my favourite quest in any game ever

Just wait till you use the thing is a beast

Actually theres a perk for x15 for daggers then x2 means you get x30
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they patch out stacking % bonuses. I don't really feel like it was intended when you see some of the expoitation that people are doing in this game lol

The gloves give double, which stacks with the x15 from daggers perk in the Sneak tree.
For x30.

There is a perk that gives you x15 backstab with daggers, with that and the gloves you can reach x30.

there's a perk in the sneak tree that gives you x15 sneak damage with daggers

Love the game, hate the map, I hope the map mod of that Russian guy comes through and stops being so low res.

"Ok, I'm ten levels higher than the first time I tried to fight a bear. I have stronger spells and more powerful armor, and a dwarven sword. I got this thing."
*Use all of my magic up with dual wield destruction spells, bear is at 2/3 health. I pull out my sword and shield, get mauled in 3 hits*

I quoted you but its to everybody.
The Shrouded gloves say that they double " backstab"
Backstab is a perk that gives you 6x damage with a one-handed weapon
The perk that gives you 15x damage with a dagger is called "assasins blade"
The gloves do not give 30x bonus with a dagger.

Yeah, I feel like they fixed a lot of the issues that Oblivion had with level-scaling, but the bears are still on steroids. I've had a couple take down Dragons for me single handed.

Just get paralyze. Dragons can resist it but bears can't. They are your plaything for 15 seconds.

So I walk into a city and see somebody getting executed. I listened to his reasoning and decided to intervene. I shouted at the executioner and slashed through the crowd. When I finally reached the prisoner, it turned out he was already dead. DAMN YOU SCRIPTS

I mean you get at least one meatshield to carry with you at all times. I guess I should have been more specific about my "troll build" I want to do when I get this game. I want to go, like, alteration/conjuration/illusion/restoration/etc, no real offensive spells, just conjure weapons/armor/minions and raise zombies, basically a D2 necro. Run around mostly naked, and with no weapons, just an infinite mana pool.
yes that will easily work, you will even have plenty of armor from the alteration perks
If you wanna troll you are going to have to do something like all illusion glass cannon, that might be tricky in some spots

its a single player game, i dont think anyone cares.
I mean, Morrowind and Oblivion had even more unbalanced stuff in them, especially morrowind with its alchemy.

Yeah what the hell, 9999 damage to everything within radius of 8 miles fireball gogo.
Also, is it possible in Skyrim to get 100% chameleon? In Oblivion you can EASILY get that, and then you are completely invisible for the entire game and nothing can ever find you. It's the most boring thing in the world because you never actually have to fight anyone.

Man all I need to do to kill any big boss is dual-hand lightning bolt. Feels so overpowered. Every blast stuns your target, so you can essentially chain-stun them forever with enough mana regen.
Also the atmosphere in this game is getting really depressing. It's always snowy and cold. I just want a nice sunny day to kill things in for once!
