    PC Do you prefer a controller?

    Gamepad, no question. For me the primary reason is CTS, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, Gamepad simply hurts less. In all honesty though, I'd use gamepads regardless. Sure the mouse is excellent for fine precision movement, but the keyboard is sad for the movement component. Eventually you will...

    Best "Wtf" Moment

    ok WTF moments. Jarl of Whiterun is giving me the whole "you must be the dragonborn" speech and everyone in the room starts sliding to the left. Conversation is still going, but they are all sliding to the left. The collision detection still worked through and they all ended up bumping into the...

    Spoiler Finished The Dark Brotherhood quests... Now what?

    And this is why I dont bother to buy Bethesda games for a console. You know that the Modders are going to make some awe inspiring additions all on their own. A Dark Brotherhood specific DLC might not be something that Bethesda would go for simply because it might be too niche. Personally, I...

    Mage Vs All Other Classes

    On every one of my characters and every one of my playthroughs there has been one constant. One thing that should I use it will create an almost god-like capacity for combat and survival. One trump card that should it be played to it's capacity assures total victory. A shield. It seems so...

    Illusions Perk redesign mod

    heh, no worries, this is a bit off topic, but something I have messed with on previous characters. I'd say the biggest problem with a Conj/illusionist is the skill purpose overlap. By this I mean that both schools are designed around the idea of Control. Conjuration: it really has two...

    Illusions Perk redesign mod

    So, I've been working on "fixing" Illusions, but I need some concept advice. Let me start with the goal. While I was using Illusion Spells and Perks I noticed a pattern. The spells dont scale with your character or the content your facing, in addition, there is never really a scaling to the...

    Spoiler Skyrim Civil war / dragonborn quest

    Geez Balgruuf, at least buy me dinner first..... I was kind of hoping that I was missing a trigger, like if I bring the axe back early it does something different. Just feels so weird leading an assault on a town that I'm the Thane of....or even worse, the playthrough where I lead my...

    Spoiler Skyrim Civil war / dragonborn quest

    Ok, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, because this questline makes little sense when played a certain logical way. Step 1. I escape Helgen with the Stormcloaks. Step 2. After the first town, I take the suggestion to go join with the Stormcloaks. So I travel from there to Windhelm...

    So you want to be a mage. [Guide]

    I could use some advice here cause I'm having a heck of a time surviving on this Dark Elf Mage I made. The big problem I am having is Magicka, I simply cannot sustain my offense and I've been very deliberate in not "overleveling". I've been sticking with Destruction (35 skill), Illusion (22...

    Spoiler 43rd level conclusions : werewolves = false

    I've only run into a werewolf on the roads once. It was in the mountains between Dawnstar and Whiterun (I was trying to find a path between the two). If you havent run into one yet, consider yourself lucky. I heard the howl, looked for a wolf and then got torn to shreds in a matter of seconds...

    Favorite Shout/Way to use it?

    The most consistantly useful shouts I've found are Aura Whisper and "Tiid" the level 1 slow time effect. X-ray Vision is a huge advantage in dungeons, especially if playing a stealth type. The Tiid shout at level 1 is almost perfect. You are slightly faster than normal and you can react with...

    Skyrim without fast travel, AT ALL, EVER!

    I try to do this as much as possible, the only thing that keeps messing me up are the dragons. After 1-2 dragons I'm usually close to my limit on carrying capacity with the weight of the dragon bones and scales. If the dragon bones werent 15 weight each and worth mucho cash It'd be a lot...

    Just cant continue Mage.....

    @Dark Brotherhood: After you join them, look on the shelf behind the leader. There is a set of Mage DB gear there. @Illusion Magic: Illusion took me forever to figure out, but it was on a thief who wanted to expand his skillset, It's a support magic that is best used in conjunction with sneak...

    Weak Werewolves?

    It's just a sales pitch, I went to the shrine to get the +stamina blessing and then I went to the cauldron for potions, she started in with the "are you pale" bit. So either it's simply a sales pitch (or verbal clue to ask more about her background as a doctor) or the disease that she is...
