![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/TQiVv.jpg) lol alchemy Yeah things get pretty ridiculous. I'm shit in a fight but I could buy Skyrim. Before I went to sleep yesterday I accidentally combined a third ingredient which I cannot for the life of me find again. It was worth 10.5k. Just take my word on it- Alchemy breaks the game. Edit: Oh that's why, I wasn't wearing my ring in my imba set. Maxed out prices with Speechcraft, All points in Alchemy, 5/5 enchanting and everything except fire/frost/lightning; Fire Destruction maxed out, 3-4 perk points into lockpicking for the 100+ weight and 3 points in restoration. A strong fart kills me but I can afford a gas mask. So yeah, make alchemy set- make enchanting potion of imba- make imba alchemy set- troll science. | ||

Still don't undestand why you would want that.. wheres the fun... Is it true Daedric armor/weapons can only be obtained by smithing? that'd suck because I can never get a daedric bow(best one ingame) on my light armor archer, or i'd have to invest like 5 additional perks  | ||

Point being- I enjoy being rich enough to feel compelled to modify the game so I can afford something. Maybe I'll buy a god. Edit: Yeah, I have a daedric sword somewhere, found it sticking out of a stone. I'm sure there is a bow someplace. You can craft daedric weapons from what I've read, I haven't checked. Smithing is for people that can't afford their own personal ball washers. + Show Spoiler + | ||

Scripted drops and randomized drops. Scripted drops are usually quest rewards or dungeon bosses and you'll always find them on any character. Randomized drops are based on character level.They cover 95% of the items you find. Basically you'll eventually find more powerful stuff when you become more powerful. | ||

Before I went to sleep yesterday I accidentally combined a third ingredient which I cannot for the life of me find again. It was worth 10.5k. Just take my word on it- Alchemy breaks the game. I made a spreadsheet where I could choose which reagents to combine, and would get up the value of it. When it comes to the value of the different effects, they are all relative in value to each other, and each new effect on a potion adds the value of that effect. The most valuable effects are in order: Invisibility, Paralysis, Damage Magicka, Slow, Fortify Carry Weight, Regenerate Health, Regenerate Magicka, Regenerate Stamina. When I make potions I normally try to choose two reagents in one of the top value categories, and then look at the other effects of the two potions to see which is the most valuable, and then go to that category and try all reagents there to see which gives the highest value. Going by the potion you posted, only Luna Moth Wing and Vampire Dust would give both effects. Trying those two with all other effects, the most valuable third reagent I could find in the spreadsheet was Hawk Feathers, which gave an added Cure Disease and Fortify Light Armor effect. There might be a lot more below it that makes my spreadsheet not work, but from what I could find initially it's fairly correct. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [img] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hTKi1.jpg) I'm tempted to actually do what I said I did and just cyclically improve my enchanting potions until I can make a 20k potion. But I have more important things to do- somewhere, somehow, there is a beggar that will dance while I throw coins at him. I will find this. | ||

Game seems too short, not enough direction. Its fun to just run around and explore and blow monsters up but the main storyline was so damned cheap. Also it seems like the choices you make throughout the whole game don't really influence what happens in the main quest at all; It doesn't matter which way in the civil war you go or who you help and who you don't, the sidequests are all extremely disconnected from one another and also don't have too many different endings themselves.. The dungeon designs are all SUPER cool and the traps/puzzles/abstraction are decent at first but after a while the pressure plates and hidden levers get a bit stale. Game is fun, feels epic, the graphics and sound are breathtaking and the world is huge. It just sucks because, for such a huge world, I really have to convince MYSELF to go out and explore it, I don't feel motivated by the game/story/rewards to actually go do it because I beat the main story and I can max my level/gold from doing Alchemy and cleaning out all the vendors gold as efficiently as possible with speech perks. I know there's a million sidequests I never finished in towns I've never been to; but they never came into play in the story so it doesn't make any sense for me to seek them out. Kind of weird because I combed the recent Fallout games for all sorts of cool weapons and quests and Fallout doesn't take itself as seriously as TES does. I just feel like there's no gameplay left in Skyrim for me, I have to use my imagination to close too many gaps and even on the hardest difficulty I found it too easy. IDK. Back to starcraft i guess. | ||

I went pure mage without any enchanting/minmaxing hacks on master difficulty, I never realized you could craft OP gear so I just ended up with the best quest stuff. Pretty much just stunlocked everyone to death with adept-level destruction spells; I got to level 30 or so. Without perfect stunlocking I got 1shot by a lot of mobs but that didn't matter, I didn't make a good build or character I just relied on the Impact perk, AI abuse and chain potions.

I think it's because there is no real story telling and no characters (no personalities). When I get really involved in a book, movie, RPG, or show it's because I feel emotional attachments to characters, and I genuinely care about what happens to them. This doesn't exist in Skyrim at all. | ||

Then you rotate the mirrors to the beams. Yeah.. I tried to just figure it out myself, spent five minutes hitting the mirrors and ground and bleh. Then I talked to the goon standing there. Use the stream spells on the table and aim at the crystal (fire and frost). Hope it works. darkscream I don't mean to be critical but you can finish the main quest line in Fallout 3 in about an hour. I grew up playing Fallout 1/2/BoS and lol the story. I suppose it's as I said- to each their own! | ||

Crafting is super tedious, and only alchemy is worth leveling (which is by far the most tedious trade skill). Lockpicking, Pickpocket, Speechcraft and Smithing are definitely not worth putting skill points into. When you realize these skills might as well not exist, you see the skill selection for your character is actually rather hollow and straightforward. Enchanting is so expensive/tedious to level, I don't even bother with it, and Alchemy breaks the game so I only have it on my Thief character for poisons. Funny, I would have put the hierarchy the other way. Alchemy is good but not essential. Due to the way health and mana potions work you can make up for a lack of quality with volume. It's a bit pricy but whatever. Money is barely a factor in the game at level 40+. Smithing is almost useless if you're a Mage, but it's extremely important for Warriors, and still good for Thieves. Legendary-class weapons do literally twice as much damage as unupgraded ones, same for armor. Enchanting is, in my opinion, the most powerful skill in the game. Stacking multiple +damage or +sneak or whatever enchants on armor basically feels like you're cheating. And it's not that bad to level if you just clear out a Dwarf ruin for Soul Gems and then conscientiously Soul Trap random wolves/bears/elk/chickens (no seriously, chickens) when you're running around. Make 50 Bracers, enchant all of them with your crappy gems, easy ~40 levels of it. Buying empty Petty Soul Gems from vendors, filling them, and then making spurious enchants is slightly profitable, I'm pretty sure. Putting points into Pickpocketing is funny if you max it out, but otherwise yeah, I agree, useless. More or less same with Speech and Lockpick. | ||

I just used a barter potion and it did not change the price, if that's an indication. I don't know if there is a fortify speechcraft but if there is I don't have it :S | ||
