Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Hmm, after about 150 hours of this game I am getting slightly bored with it. I think next character I'm gonna ignore the main quest (after getting dragons to spawn) and just go exploring.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
I'm just curious why we keep starting pages on 38?
Anyway, yeah, that's what I've been doing, I mean, I'm on... 6? 7? And I do nothing more than kill Mirmulnir, and get my Fus Ro Dah on, and then go exploring. And you know what?
I'm STILL finding things I hadn't seen before.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
So, I've just started this and could use some advice. I'm currently a Breton intending to focus perks on One Handed, Block, Heavy Armor, Smithing and Enchanting. I'm also going to use Destruction (for ranged/area attacks) and Restoration but don't really intend to spend perks here.
First question, then, is: does this look reasonable? Am I spread too thinly on perks (or alternatively, can I afford to take on another skill?) Also, how well does Destruction work as an attack skill without perk investment? Would I be better switching to Archery for ranged attacks? (I've got the Remove Perk Prerequisites mod, so I can skip useless perks)
Second, how should I raise Health/Magicka/Stamina?
Any other advice is also welcome. Thanks in advance!This space intentionally left blank

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Just died to Krosis. Surprise.
As for race origins, the Bretons claim to be descended from the Nedic peoples who lived in Cyrodiil before the other Men came from Atmora or Yokuda, who were ruled over by the various Mer peoples.
I remember reading something somewhere that had the idea that all life came from Tamriel, split off to the various other continents, and then returned...

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Well, my Archer-Thief is going pretty well. However, I'm running out of irrelevant Factions for my next character (doing my best to not overlap factions on characters). I'm specifically avoiding Companions so that I can have it for my melee character. Should the melee character be sword-and-board or two-handed?

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Very reasonable. Pick one of Destro/Archery for when you can't reach your enemies, but otherwise you'll hack 'em to bits just fine. I'd go Archery, just because it scales better - just keeping your bow upgraded and 'chanted will keep it's damage relevant even with few perks. Can't really say the same for Destruction. On the other hand, archery doesn't let you chuck fireballs at people's faces. So there is that too.
I don't think you'll really be needing Alteration. Heavy+Block is a lot of defense - if anything that gets through that you can just chug a potion.
Health mostly. Keep Magicka high enough that you can cast a couple of your big spells without running dry. But basically look at what you're running out of in fights. Not enough Stamina to spam you power attacks? Boost that. Health getting too low for comfort? Get more of it.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
So... I just got stuck. Like permanently stuck x__x. After 16 hours of gameplay I get stuck in cidhna mine..with no saves to go back to. So as a word of warning, don't dual-wield picks and mine all the ore if you go to prison inside... You have to serve your time by clicking the activate button.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
No, the lesson should be "do not play RPGs without making lots of saves". Been true 20 years ago, true today.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
But you can't get through the door to his room until you activate the quest to talk to/kill him.
My brother spent a long time trying to escape after mining out all of the minerals, and I remember telling him to try that, it didn't work. He even killed the orc guard and there wasn't even a key for that door.Last edited by Weezer; 2012-01-15 at 03:26 PM.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
I did the Forsworn's leader small quest, and I broke out with the rest of the group. Pretty much the only thing that went well was that I one-shot the target with the makeshift weapon. (Incidentally, that whole questline gave me minor quest trauma, and my character a huge one easily summed up by "Favoured Enemy: Forsworn".)
And a friend told me he got out after killing said leader (before or after doing what he wanted, I don't know).
So, huh, yeah.
I don't go to Markarth anymore.Originally Posted by on Dwarf Fortress succession gamesOriginally Posted by Dwarf Fortress 0.40.01 bugs

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Not sure if I mentioned this in the other topic, but I recently did the Daedra quest that is like the Hangover 2.0, and it was the most hilarious thing ever. I started it completely by accident, not aware of what it was, which made it that much better.
If my text is blue, I'm being sarcastic.But you already knew that, right?

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Two fun things:
1: The fact that sneaking into Dagon's pathetic little shrine made this occur:
Daedra guy: "I Smell Weakness" (when detecting Mjoll).
Me: *Cutting his demonic throat from behind* ...Weakness indeed.
2: Thalmor... Is there anything they do better than dying?

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
I'm currently debating the Forsworn quest myself:
SpoilerBraig sums up the nature of the conflict in this quest very well.
"There are no innocents here, just the guilty and the dead."
Which leaves me in a bit of a conundrum. I want to do what's right, but what's right is definitely murky here. If I kill Madanach I avenge the deaths he's caused while imprisoned and prevent more from happening, plus I save many lives in Markarth by avoiding a prison riot.
On the other hand, the Silver-Bloods are just as guilty, and frankly have justice coming to them when the Forsworn escape, willing to throw me in jail to cover up their scheming, and the Forsworn have definitely been wronged, first attacked out of hand by the Stormcloaks when the Empire was willing to negotiate with them, and then butchered mercilessly and enslaved by the Nords.
What does someone trying to do the "Lawful Good" thing do in this case? Who do we support to get out of Cidhna Mine? I know the REAL LG thing to do would be to just serve your time quietly, get the Oblivion out of Markarth and let the Nords and Forsworn tear each other apart, but the game's not going to let you do that."Reach down into your heart and you'll find many reasons to fight. Survival. Honor. Glory. But what about those who feel it's their duty to protect the innocent? There you'll find a warrior savage enough to match any dragon, and in the end, they'll retain what the others won't. Their humanity."
