Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Ummmm...
Not sure that's worth a full DLC, honestly, based on the preview there...
Ah well, we'll see.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
I wonder why D&D dual wield have -4 attack rolls penalty? The only trade off the skyrim give is inability to block (and possibility to break the mold of dual wield inefficiency).
P.S- I prefer blade and shield gameplay.Badly drawn helmet avatar drawn by me.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
They got rid of levitation (and jump) I'm almost certain because of the difficult it created in making open dungeons. If you have either of those spells you can fly as you please which would really disrupt a lot of dungeon designs. Also it would force them to put the towns in the over world or do some sort of force field door.
But I really do hope they bring back enchanting and custom spells.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Skyrim's cities are hybrids between Morrowind and Oblivion, btw:
They are not, like in Morrowind, completely "open", but they are NOT completely cut off from the land around them. The game just don't render any details inside the walls (or outside the walls, if you are inside the city). This is easily observed in say Riften, where you often get dragons attacking inside the city from outside (you see them going back and forth over the wall, attacking something on the inside).
If you have a powerful enough computer there are mods that opens the cities up.Blizzard Battletag: UnderDog#21677

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Eh both get dual wielding wrong. Dual wielding is not an offensive style but a defensive one and anyone trying to use two weapons to increase their offensive power in real life would be quickly cut down by someone using just one blade or a blade and a short sword/long knife/buckler for parrying.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
Dual Wield as increased offense works, you just have to have other advantages. Like terrain, or skill.
Of course, most of what people don't remember is that having two fists means bare-handed IS dual wielding.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
The shield is heavier and larger so it can both slow you a little and make you tire faster. In addition to that two weapons let you parry to get the opponent to open up and then attack with the other weapon.
So basically two weapons are for a faster more evasive defensive style while a shield is for the slower more turtlish defense style.
Also it's easier to carry a sword and a parrying knife then lugging a shield everywhere you go.Last edited by pffh; 2012-05-02 at 01:44 PM.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
I decided I'd start up a new character. A sneaky one, just like my last 3. To prevent this from getting boring, are there any good mods for sneaky characters? Content mods, stealth mods, maybe even illusion mods tailored to ninja type characters?
My last character was a vampire and I particularly enjoyed playing with the difficulties it presented, namely the "everyone attacks you on sight if you don't keep a good track of time." I heard Wars in Skyrim created a vampire faction that fights with a werewolf faction on the landscape, which sounded cool, but apparently Wars in Skyrim is hidden for now. Which is a bummer, because I wanted to take sides and fight in large battles. So I installed the Warzones: Civil War mod. Should be fun.
Oh, and she'll also be balls to the wall evil. Suggestions?
Any other mods to look for? I haven't used any of them, ever.Last edited by Gaelbert; 2012-05-02 at 04:38 PM.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
There is a thievery overhaul on the steam workshop which adds a couple of vaults for robbing to the cities along with more guards and more alternate routes and entrances to buildings.
There is also a mod that lets you enter and leave through windows and as for other mods I'll just quote an earlier post of mine:

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
RE: Tyroc. First, "unintentional homage" strikes me as being an oxymoron -- contradiction in terms. Second, Tyroc is fairly obscure, and known mostly for the absurdity of his original costume and the politics behind his appearance in the comics.
Third, I'd find it easier to believe this were a homage if this were a game named for the kingdom of the Redguards than the kingdom of the renamed Norse.
Finally, this is not poTAYto vs poTAHto. This is poTAYto versus "Hey, aren't carrots also root vegetables?"
=======================
I'd be more excited about this new DLC if there were any solid information about it. So far there's just an image of a a Nord with bad allergies and some talk of new animations in the files.
=======================
So, my character is 73. I've capped out Destruction & Illusion, and I'm about to turn in the Destruction ritual quest. For some reason, the Illusion guy hasn't given me the Ritual quest yet (I've been >90 for a while now), but I haven't visited him since actually capping it. With Destruction capped, my last attack skill is Archery. I'm made a training bow for just that purpose. Block I can cap whenever I get around to it, so I'm not terribly worried about it.
I haven't used the Ohgma's Infinium yet. Speech & Lockpicking are both in the low 90's, and logic would dictate I should use it before either hits 96. Obviously, this means I need to get Sneak & Pickpocketing as high as possible before that happens. PP is the higher of the two right now, because I've been spending my 5-per-level trainings on it for the last several levels. Sneak is proving harder to raise that I'd expected, so I may have to switch to training it instead.
The "Civil War" chain is starting to appeal to me now that I've finished the main quest. I usually put Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood off to last anyway in these games. Given that I'm all-but-committed to a second 'cheater' character, I think what I'll do is go Empire on this character and Stormcloak on the 'cheater'. Why Empire? Because frankly Uhlric torqued me off during the cease-fire talks during the main quest. I caught myself wanting to fanfiction what my character *really* said, which is never a good sign.
SpoilerExecutive Summary. "Uhlric? I'm here for one purpose - to keep the world from being destroyed. It's where I keep my stuff. Now in order to do that I need to trap a dragon, and in order to do THAT I need to assure that neither the Stormcloaks nor Empire can take advantage of the situation to threaten Whiterun. I need you two to cool it until the world is safe. If you walk away from this table, that peace puts your still-beating heart in my hand instead of your chest. Now either be a man and sit down, or be a corpse. Your call."
Obviously, I would suck as a diplomat- Sometimes, the knights are the monsters

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
The best way to train sneak is to let someone become suspicious (The eye opens partway) and then let it die down since staying hidden while someone is searching for you trains it faster then simply remaining undetected.
Also keep moving. Moving around enemies trains it faster then standing still close to them."Elephant trunks should be used for elephant things only. Nothing else."

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
I admit that the first time I did that, I wanted to violently murder them both, but that's just me.
The fastest way by far to raise sneak, is to sneak attack everyone and everything. Sneak Attacks push it up quicker than just sneaking around.
Combine it with ranged sneak attacks to train sneak and archery together. Sneak Attacks also don't care if the target is an enemy, so you can shoot deer for both sneak and archery training.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
I know NWN had a whole variety of character skin options, although it's not until NWN2 that they had a explicitly stated black race (drow).
Googling a bit, Everquest had dark elves which fit the bill.
I think some earlier games RPGs had character skin colour options, but no dark skinned race as an in-game fluff option.

Re: Skyrim IV: Oblivion
I think you're going to have to be a bit clearer in what what you're looking for.
Are you only accepting humans?
Are you after fluff only or actually mechanistically different races?
What skin tone will you accept, as I've seen 'ash black' africans before.
