    "Nightblade" questions

    So I recently started myself a Mage character and while it's still very early days yet, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Primarily, the most joyous moments seem to be coming from lurking in doorways and throwing Calm spells and Fury spells onto people in the next room and watching them either stand...

    That awkward moment when...

    That awkward moment when after waiting for ages for the "Detected" sign to go away, you realise the thing that's detecting you is your horse.

    Mages are impossible! A rant/inquiry

    Well, my new Mage is going well. Even if it is still early days yet. I'm having some problems levelling up Alteration though, given I'm not really taking all that many hits this time around. The only hits I do seem to take are ones from when wolves and stuff ambush me and when that happens I'm...

    Mages are impossible! A rant/inquiry

    Okay, I'm starting my new Mage. Going to be playing it, according to the phrase the official guide gives it, as a "Defensive" Mage. Playing as a Breton, focusing on Conjuration and Illusion primarily at first, to keep me out of the thick of combat as much as possible. Now, should I give him...

    Mages are impossible! A rant/inquiry

    I don't even know what difficulty it's on. So I'd assume since I've never touched the difficulty setting it's on whatever the standard, default setting is. And on the sprinting - I may be faster than enemies running, but I have no extra points in Stamina so I get tired exceptionally easily...

    Mages are impossible! A rant/inquiry

    Mushroom - I tried summoning the Atronach near the enemy while staying hidden, but whenever I did the enemy would just completely ignore the flaming demon that just materialised and set them on fire and instead charge directly at me. And since them running forward is faster than me...

    Mages are impossible! A rant/inquiry

    I had a companion once. Lydia the Housecarl. She died pretty early on due to her own rampant stupidity and I didn't even notice she was missing until it was too late to go back and re-do it. She just rushed into a room full of vampires, Necromancers and a Flame Atronach all fighting each other...

    Mages are impossible! A rant/inquiry

    Seriously, I cannot be the only person to notice this, or be affected by this. Mages in this damn game are just impossible, or at least incredibly difficult, to play as! So, yeah. I made a Mage character. Because I will forever love magic-users in fantasy. So I figured I'd give playing as a...

    Too late to add magic?

    This is just a quick question, because I'm kinda dumb when it comes to stuff like this. My character as it stands at the moment is a level 35 Wood Elf thief/assassin, specialising in Archery as his combat method. Generic, I know. A Wood Elf Archer, how adventurous! But now... don't get me...

    Noob Issue: Spreading myself too thin

    Okay, Dark Elf stealth-archer-thief it is then (that's a mouthful...). Now just to make him look sufficiently dark and shady.

    Noob Issue: Spreading myself too thin

    You can use VATS for sniping in Fallout? I always just did it by eye. The more I think about it the more Illusion magic just seems kind of like a novelty to an archer. You know, throw a Fury in there to mess up their ranks for giggles. Ah to hell with magic, I'm most likely just going to go...

    Noob Issue: Spreading myself too thin

    On second-ish thought, I might make my character a stealth-archer with some skill in Illusion. Then I could focus my skill-set a bit more. Plus I always did like playing a sniper in other Bethesda games (ah Fallout 3...) so I know how the basic play-style works to great effect. Of course for...

    Noob Issue: Spreading myself too thin

    I had planned to join the Thieve's Guild, yes. Most likely (if I can join both) gonna try my hand at the Mage's College in Winterhold too. Their magical training in particular will be very useful to me Thank you for the tip kind adventurer.

    Noob Issue: Spreading myself too thin

    Hey there fellow Skyrim-players that are undoubtedly more experienced than I am. I'm having an issue even starting this game. It's not a technical thing, it's an "I'm an indecisive and paranoid weirdo" thing. I'm wanting to start a Dark Elf character, because they're awesome, and I looked in...
