    Is Dawnguard fun without vampires?

    Is Dawnguard fun if you don't go vampire lord? I didn't like the werewolf form in the main game, because it was slow to change and didn't benefit from skills. Also, evil just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I also won't be using crossbows, so that's not a positive for me.

    So Indecisive

    My biggest problem with any RPG seems to be selecting a character and sticking with it. While Skyrim does offer alot of flexibility with it's free form system, I still constantly feel regret for my desicions character wise. I've played through so much of the early game, I think Alduin's first...

    Melee Archer

    May include stealth. To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about sneaking around. I prefer actually engaging enemies. I'm normally the tank, but I'm still defining my rpg identity. I'm approaching this character different then I usually do. I'm saving all my level ups until I've tried everything.

    Melee Archer

    So here is a build I'm thinking about doing. It's kind of a ranger barbarian. I'm still debating putting in alchemy, mainly because I've heard it's boring. The idea being that I fight at range and then switch to melee when enemies get close. I got to thinking, is having archery and two handed...

    Avoiding Crafting

    I recently read this article. A Tale of Two Exploits: Skill Perks and Character Leveling in Skyrim It got me to thinking, if crafting can make you so overpowered, is it possible to avoid it? I know to the optimizers out there this may seem foolish, with successful crafting you can become...

    Xbox 360 Two handed weapon glitch

    I realize this is kinda a dumb problem. What I did just notice is that the problem seems to have been fixed. Even my burliest character no longer has a sword shoved through his spine. I assume this was one of Bethesda's fixes, so thanks Bethesda! That was bugging the Hell out of me.

    Xbox 360 Two handed weapon glitch

    Not sure if this belongs here or in general. This glitch bugs the crap out of me, but it isn't really game breaking. Basically, anytime my character equips a two handed weapon and has it on his back the weapon goes through part of his body. It's as if the weapon is set to far forward. It doesn't...

    What are you playing? Build thread.

    Orik - Level 5 Orc Ranger 1. Archery 2. Sneak 3. One handed 4. Light armor 5. Alchemy I'm normally the tank, so I thought I'd try something a little more challenging. I did stick with my favorite race. A wood elf might have been better, but I have a thing against playing elves, just don't...

    Archery vs. Destruction

    Also, I don't use allies. They get in my way.

    Archery vs. Destruction

    I'm planning a melee based character (probably orc). I need a way to deal with dragons who are flying around. So what is better at lower levels for long range combat, Archery or Destruction. Mind you, if I take either, I don't plan on going far with it, since I only planned on using it to weaken...

    Dragon Tactics

    My problem is that EVERYONE falls back on dragon rend. The best case scenario is that I have a dozen or so dragons dead by the time I reach that point in the MQ, so dragonrend isn't an option at all.

    Planning a Character

    I kinda agree with the point about using bows against one creature. I've been avoiding the main quest for the most part, so I haven't gotten dragon rend. I'll post another thread asking about help with dragon tactics. The main reason I chose the steed stone is that the left half of the heavy...

    Dragon Tactics

    I'm trying to play a melee character, that is my preferred style. My major problem is dragons. Now, once a dragon lands, that's one thing. But GETTING it to land is my main problem. I thought about taking up archery, but I wouldn't use that outside of fighting dragons, so it seems like a...

    Planning a Character

    I'm trying to plan out a character. Even with a skill system as free as Skyrim's I still find myself restarting constantly because I made a bad perk choice. I prefer up close combat, so most of my perks would be in the combat specialization. So far the only two skills I got set in stone are...
