    Vampiric Drain

    It does not. The only way to increase its damage is by waiting for later stages of vampirism (up to stage 4). Also, using it does not level your Destruction skill.

    How many skill trees should I focus on for a thief?

    It's definitely slower, but some skills level faster than others. Block levels REALLY slowly. Illusion and Conjuration level fast. I got bored enough over level 75 that I used an exploit to gain levels fast by speed-leveling Alchemy (fortify restoration loop). But something like One-Handed...

    How many skill trees should I focus on for a thief?

    Pickpocketing never gets higher than 90%, so you probably don't even need some of those equipment bonuses. I don't know whether the Speech perk yields better bribery rates than Thieves Guild membership; might have to check the wikis on that (or someone else can chime in who's tried both). I've...

    Whats the most effective way to gain character levels for perks?

    Hm, if you don't actually need Illusion at 100 but you enjoy using it, that would be a viable way to grind for experience. It's practically effortless to wander around continually casting Muffle or Invisibility, and you don't need to be around enemies for them to raise your experience. You'll...

    How many skill trees should I focus on for a thief?

    When you go to a blacksmith's forge/anvil, there is a category for "Jewelry." If you are holding any Silver or Gold Ingots, you can craft necklaces and rings. If you are also holding any gems (amethysts, diamonds, etc.), you can craft even more valuable items. The higher value of the item you...

    Whats the most effective way to gain character levels for perks?

    Also note: If the only skills you use are all at level 100, your character will stop leveling. This is cool if you want a level cap for enemies, but a huge pain if you want more perks. It used to be that this meant you had to branch out and use other skills (which is how I ended up turning my...

    Whats the most effective way to gain character levels for perks?

    Completing quests has no effect on leveling, at least not directly. "Character XP" as you're calling it comes directly (and only) from "skill XP," which is why it sounds to your ears like people are confusing them. As a skill gets higher in level, it gains XP more slowly. However, when it does...

    How many skill trees should I focus on for a thief?

    Agreed with everyone who said that Sneak, Alchemy, and Archery and/or One-Handed are all you really need. You can gradually build up Smithing if you want by smithing jewelry (which raises Smithing pretty fast), as you'll benefit quite a lot from the Arcane Blacksmith perk in the late game. It'll...

    Creative Names for Enchanted Weapons and Armor

    I tend to name things in sets, based on what I'll do with them, so that they're easier to find in an alphabetized list. It is a pain to hunt for game-generated smithing equipment (for instance) when it's all named stuff based on the article of clothing, like "Circlet of Major Smithing" vs. "Ring...

    DB Armor

    With the cape and the mask, Nightingale Armor definitely looks like a Moon Knight/Batman crossover. Dark Brotherhood armor's basic gloves have an amazing enchantment for sneak-killing (and the armor rating is better when you get the Ancient set). The rest of the enchantments kind of stink...

    Xbox 360 True hybrid

    I used this same glitch playing on the Dawnguard side. I didn't check whether you can make Serana leave Valerica's lab once you get her there, but once you go into the Soul Cairn, you have to complete the rest of the Dawnguard quest line before she'll offer to change you again.

    Steed Stone & Stamina consumption

    Thanks! I just conducted an even easier test than the one above (just tried two power attacks with Steed Stone, once in heavy armor and once naked), and it seemed Steed does indeed just make you consume stamina as if you're naked. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to go back to Lady Stone now...

    Annoying/Nerve Racking Things in Skyrim.

    Being sent to turn someone into a vampire who's already a vampire, and not realizing it until after doing another entire quest on the way. Having only two hours to play Skyrim on any given night and spending the first hour doing stuff I can't save. (See above, but that pretty much applies to...

    Steed Stone & Stamina consumption

    Does the Steed Stone let you sprint for longer and do more power attacks? Why I ask: The UESP wiki explains how you use up more stamina if you're wearing heavier armor. (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Stamina) With the steed Stone (or certain perks), however, your armor is weightless. What I'm...

    Your WTF/LOL Moments?

    Stopped by to visit Warmaiden's today and buy some ingots from Adrianne Avenicci. She was hammering away at something on the armor workbench, but some glitch made the hammer never appear in her hand. As a result, it looked and sounded like she was just bashing away at some metal with her bare...

    Argonian?

    Oh yeah, I totally forgot to mention Histkin. In terms of pure practicality, it is one of the best racial powers in the game. The Argonian's other racial perks are nice, but can be replicated pretty easily through potions or enchanted items. (Every non-Argonian character I have always carries...

    Argonian?

    I got bored with my wood elf once and created an Argonian just to try something different. Their lore suggests that it's totally expected by society for any of them to join the Dark Brotherhood, so I made a "nice guy Shadowscale" focused on sneaking, poisons, daggers, and swimming away...

    Vampire+mage vs Werewolf+warrior

    You can order DLC to download by going to the Marketplace on your Xbox, but I find it even easier to do over the web: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Skyrim/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802425307e6?nosplash=1 Dawnguard is the one with expanded vampire and werewolf options. Dragonborn is...

    "Hey, Serana. Aren't you thirsty?"

    I sided with Dawnguard, so I just always assumed she was taking sips of me when I hit the hay for the night. I didn't mind because, you know, can't argue with an unkillable follower who makes a habit of conjuring even more allies to help us out. That said, I could also see her going, "Ptoo...

    Dremora and Conjuration

    Two ways to have Dremora following you around that I know of: 1. Summon them for a limited time using Conjure Dremora Lord or Sanguine Rose. You can get two with the Twin Souls Conjuration perk, but otherwise they don't benefit from Conjuration perks. 2. Find some Dremora in the world, kill...
