    Alternative helm for Dragon Plate armor?

    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...

    How much to fortify unarmed?

    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...

    Any reason to select Azura's Star over Black Star?

    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?

    Increasing alteration spell lengths

    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?

    Bonuses to bow damage

    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...

    Consequences for not participating in the civil war?

    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?

    Avoiding smithing/enchanting/alchemy for balance?

    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...

    Good looking armor/cloth combos?

    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...

    How many perks?

    Just to clarify, how many perks can you get? I've seen people say 80, as well as caps as low as 50. Which is it (on xbox, if that matters)?

    Atronachs vs zombies

    What are the benefits to using one over the other? I was considering making a Death Knight of sorts, and thus might just go down the zombie line of summons. I wanted to make sure that it wasn't just far and away worse than the atronach line. I know that atronachs give elemental damage. What are...

    Possible to hit armor cap by mixing cloth and armor?

    I would be interested in making a battlemage or spellsword who wears armored hands and feet, and possibly a dragon priest mask or other armored helm, and then a robe (and possibly hood). What kind of smithing and enchantment levels would I need in order to hit the armor cap with just gloves and...

    Damage comparison between styles?

    Would anyone be able to provide a general damage comparison between melee fighting styles (2 handed, dual wield, sword n board)? I know dual wield does a lot of damage, but since you attack a bit slower, how much more than others? After adding perks to shield, it seems that the shield itself can...

    In order to save Destruction...

    I have heard that after a certain level, Destruction begins to lose its relative effectiveness. The damage of the spells do not increase further, but enemies still level with you. Would a way around this be to continue working on one's skills, but simply not level up after one gets their final...

    What does the Dual Cast Alteration perk do?

    I can't check at the moment. Does it double the duration of something like a Flesh spell, or double its added armor value? On a related note, is there a way to hit the armor cap without wearing armor (with the exception, perhaps, of using a shield)?

    Heavy or Light for a Sword and Board build?

    I had thrown this build together: http://www.ign.com/builds/the-elder-scrolls-5-skyrim?d=000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000111000000200000000000050000000010000111115111100051111111100000000050110000005 because I wanted to play more of an archetypal SnB build. I may...

    Aldmeri Dominion and elves in the empire

    I am curious if anyone knows the lore behind wider elf attitudes towards the AD. How do altmer and bosmer who live within the Empire generally view it? Are they split, or go along racial lines? Along similar lines, what is the relationship and attitude between the AD and most dunmer? I am...

    Damage for a mage... Archery as alternative to Destruction?

    When I am roleplaying a mage I prefer to wear robes and used perked Alternation skin buffs, use conjured allies as buffers, etc... but I find the damage of Destruction spells to be a bit wanting (and due to some ineptitude on my part with controllers, difficult to aim when hurried). I have also...

    Khajiit and Fists of Steel

    Although I imagine that it would still be less effective than using wielded weapons, has anyone tried playing as a Khajiit fighting primarily with their fists/claws while wearing heavy armor and using the Fists of Steel perk? Results?
