    Mage Vs All Other Classes

    Oops, my bad then :) Anyway, illusion is awesome.... and conjuration is simply overpowered.

    Unique ways to play Skyrim?

    I've got one such character and have played him up to lvl 19: Cornelius the good imperial priest. My rules were: * Must not do any harm directly. * No conjuration (it's evil). * No armor (faith is his armor and he's a man of peace anyway). * No crime ofc. * No looting! Only loot corpses for...

    Illusion mage help

    First, best possible race for an illusionist is high elf. Then you start with fury and can use it successfully even in Helgen Keep. But whether you're a high elf or not, the first spells you want to get are fury (available at the Riverwood Trader I believe) and calm and muffle (both sold by...

    Mage Vs All Other Classes

    What sort of useless, condescending reply is that? He's quite right, illusion magic is very strong. I find it much more powerful right from the start than anything I've tried so far in the destruction school. With high illusion you get invisibility and quiet casting. Combine this with sneak...

    Pickpocket to Level 100 in 3 hours

    It's alright mate. I'm not flaming you or trashing your post. I was likewise trying to give you a tip: that 1) Save/reload is a fairly obvious, old trick you can use in almost any game, and 2) you should consider whether you're actually playing the game when you do it.

    Pickpocket to Level 100 in 3 hours

    Sneaking against a wall while AFK is a different sort of exploit because it uses the game mechanics to achieve something, but in some way that the game wasn't intended to be played. Save/reload has been around forever, in any game where you can save and load at all. Using it to stop anything...

    Pickpocket to Level 100 in 3 hours

    Hmm, so basically level pickpocket through save/reload? Seems to me that if you're willing to do it that way, you could skip all those steps and just go pickpocketing the nearest person, making sure to only take one thing at a time. If successful, save, if not, reload. If you run out of things...

    Reasons to level Smithing in Skyrim

    I think there are in fact some important reasons not to level smithing or any of the other crafts early on: To really benefit early on, you need to get the skill high enough to make something genuinely better than what you can as well find or buy. By doing this you end up gaining quite a few...

    Shield or dual wield

    I generally care much more about early game effectiveness but I'm finding myself surprised by how decently a warrior in light armor performs. The damage taken isn't that bad when you play aggressively and take weapon perks above all. In my experience with warriors, it's magic damage that is the...

    Shield or dual wield

    I think I'll go for the light shield as a tactical option on my current dual-wielding light armor warrior. My idea is that I could spend only 5 perks in the block tree to get the greatest value out of my shield for the lowest cost: Shield Wall (1/5) > Deflect Arrows > Elemental Protection >...

    Shield or dual wield

    I wonder if a light armor shield build would work well... I'm sure almost everyone normally combines shields with heavy armor. With light armor, the shield's carry weight would be less of an issue and you could more easily afford to sprint towards opponents using ranged attacks. Instead of...

    Shield or dual wield

    I should note that I probably don't quite do the sword-and-board style justice. My paladin that I mentioned (a Breton) was my first serious character and there were still a lot of things about the game I hadn't learnt. My main mistakes with him was improving magicka way too much (because I...

    Shield or dual wield

    This thread inspired me to finally try out a dual-wielder. What's more, I wanted to try out a light armor dual-wielder. Even more aggressive and high-risk. The benefits of going light armor would be the Unhindered (weightless armor) and Wind Walker (+50% stamina regen) perks. Heavy armor has a...

    For the love of hell fix clairvoyance.

    This is not correct. You must have the main quest turned on in your log without realizing it.

    For the love of hell fix clairvoyance.

    My experience with Clairvoyance is quite good actually. I played for a long time without ever using the spell. I'd read in some forum post that it's useless crap, so I ended up not bothering. Then at some point I decided to try it out and found it quite helpful, particularly inside dungeons...
