If you talk to them, they are divided in their opinions of the Legion and Empire, but not between the Empire and Stormcloaks. They don't support the Stormcloaks at all. Their divide is between loyalty to the Legion and loyalty to Orc traditions and the holdfasts.
In the same dossier, it says that the Thalmor are not connected to the return of Alduin. It mentions that it was coincidental. Ulfric is not a "sleeper agent", he is listed as a "dormant asset", and one that can be manipulated but would resist any "overt" attempts to be bought off or used by the...
Doubtful, Jeff, because Skyrim takes place in a feudal-lite fantasy setting in an alternate universe with polities that barely approximate contemporary nation-states, let alone the internal power dynamics of 21st century post-industrial capitalist hegemons. Also, this:
axiomatically...
I think the Dragon Plate helm looks rather awful with the rest of the Dragon Plate armor. The colors clash weirdly, and I have yet to see a race that can make the helm and the rest of the armor look good when worn together. Could people post some screenshots of alternative helms (or hoods, or...
Good stuff Psyko. Is there any reason you chose one-handed over two-handed, or heavy armor over light? Also, did you put anything into archery for ranged damage dealing, or just rely on conjuration?
Your guide mentions that high elves receive a weakness to magic, but this doesn't seem to be the case in Skyrim (while it obviously was the major racial drawback in previous games).
I would like to make a viable martial artist monk character. To do so, however, I imagine that I will need to fortify unarmed damage a bit. What would be the best way to fortify unarmed damage to be more or less in line with other fighting styles? Should I use some limited looping with...
I have a Breton stealthy illusionist mage who wears robes, but uses archery instead of destruction (destruction bothers me). Have enemies kill each other if they are in groups. If not, then they will go down in a few bow shots. Throw out an atronach for an emergency distraction if needed, or if...
If black souls are the equivalent of grand souls, and humanoids are ubiquitous to kill, is there any reason to choose Azura's star over the Black star?
Once you are a vampire, it is too late for a simple cure disease potion to work. That only works in the first three days you had the initial infection, during which you received multiple warnings that should have suggested something was up. In order to cure full-blown vampirism, you need to...
It is primarily a matter of convenience for me. I enjoy the mage look, especially Thalmor robes, but don't want to suffer in terms of armor, and wouldn't want to have to constantly recast armor spells mid-battle for the harder battles.
What would be required to get the Dragonhide master alteration spell to last as long as possible? The Stability perk gives +50% duration, but does dual-casting allow me to increase the duration as well? If so, how much, and does the increase take into account the % increase from the Stability perk?
I have a small dilemma. I enjoy the look of the bound bow, but am put off by the inability to upgrade it beyond the increased bound damage perk. I have heard that regular bows can get to the point where you can consistently one- and two-shot most enemies. Can using a bound bow ever get close to...
I have a dunmer assassin character who is morally eclectic. I can't really justify him joining up with either side. Are there any serious game consequences for not picking a side in the civil war that I should be aware of?
I would like to avoid becoming too overpowered later in my character's development. Smithing, enchanting and alchemy seem to be commonly complained about as unbalancers. If I wanted to avoid unbalancing, would you suggest I avoid these skills entirely, or use them but don't spend perks on them...
I am away from my console for a few weeks, but I am looking to make a battlemage when I get back. For the battlemage, I would like to mix cloth and armor in some interesting-looking ways. If anyone has any pictures of their characters wearing good-looking combinations of armor and cloth, please...
There are alteration spells that give you armor bonuses. There are also alteration perks that increase this bonus that only work when you wear no armor. You can still enchant clothes. You can use conjuration summons as distractions, as well as followers. You have to be more careful, but it can work.
