    Don't you hate it when...

    You're making potions or enchanted items and the NPC in your vicinity keeps going on at you Tolfdir asks you to perform the ward spell, you do it and you're standing in exactly the right spot and he tells you 'You have to keep your ward up!'. You then have to stand there, fuming, while your...

    Xbox 360 Your first time? ;)

    In my first game I played as a khajit on the default difficulty (adept?). I decided to play smart and limit the number of skills I'd use, but actually I ended up using too few. Only archery, sneak, light armour and two handed, and after a while I ditched two handed when I got the cool archery...

    How did YOU get to level 81?

    No exploit! Make a set of fortify alchemy items (hat, gloves, ring, necklace) all with +29% fortify alchemy enchantments and then make a smithing potion. It should be 130%. You can make fortify enchanting potions that do +32% fortify enchanting which you'll need to make those +29% alchemy...

    How did YOU get to level 81?

    Have you tried this yet? Enchanting is easy to take back to 100 if you keep up the habit of filling soul gems, buying petty and lesser gems, picking up jewelry and making gold/silver rings as you roam around. Keep all of your rings and filled gems in a chest then do it all in one go. It's almost...

    How did YOU get to level 81?

    Sorry for quoting an old post here (in forum terms, anyway) but I've only just seen it. I don't think leveling from 40-80 is all that much harder work than leveling from 1-40. When you go legendary on skills they level up so much faster when the skills you use alongside them are already 100...

    warrior build, getting owned

    Good call on the ice wraiths, horrible creatures. On legendary I don't engage them at all until I'm a high level with solid magic/frost resistance. Until then I'll just run away. My first legendary build was a sword and shield conjuror with the general approach of always putting two (later...

    Light armor vs heavy armor

    In my current game I got my glass armour value up to about 850 before changing for dragonscale boots, gauntlets and shield with a forsworn helmet (the antler one) and fur armour (the topless kind). My character looks awesome, and was still comfortably over the armour cap! I'd never thought of...

    warrior build, getting owned

    Don't try fighting sabre cats, bears and trolls just yet. When you find yourself in a tough fight run away until the opponent turns on your follower and then wade in and take some cheap shots. Always carry around paralysis potions to stun the dangerous wild creatures, and from there you can...

    How did YOU get to level 81?

    I've got a master game at 79 which I intend to finish at some point. I believe I've done alchemy three times, though maybe it's just twice. I'm pretty certain I still have so many ingredients stored I could do 15-100 in one go no problem. I took the perk green thumb until reseting alchemy so I...

    Your favorite race?

    Argonian. I'm not an RP'r and I once I get playing I don't care much which race I am, so for gameplay purposes I'll go with argonian because of the histskin ability which is extremely powerful.

    Most evil thing you've done in Skyrim

    I once got fed up of Degaine (the old homeless guy in Markarth) and sniped him from the entrance to the house in Markarth, before going in and coming back out. Well, no sooner did I leave my house again a courier came up and said he'd left all of his gold to me Sorry about that one Degaine

    conjuration mage

    Bretons start the game with the conjure familiar spell, and that wolf is actually pretty powerful in the early levels. You could definitely get away with using that until you get the conjure flame atronach spell

    Legendary Difficulty: Your Experiences

    That archery perk is one of the reasons I think archery is the most powerful offensive style. Ranger, quick draw and whatever that stagger perk is called is often about the point where I stop bothering with sneaking There is no lag between your stamina bar emptying and it starting to recharge...

    Legendary Difficulty: Your Experiences

    Actually one useful thing Bretons have is the ability to conjure a familiar from the very beginning. Familiars always seemed garbage to me until I had the chance to use them from level 1 on legendary, where they're actually extremely useful. Very handy to have until you get the flame atronach...

    Skyrim without fighting

    I've got a game going with illusion, restoration and sneak as my way of getting through dungeons, but I lost interest because I can't think of a valid objective to aim for. I considered collecting the stones of Barenziah but I'm pretty sure you can't get into the arch mage's room without...

    Catching butterflies, moths etc.

    Butterflies can be annoying, but it's dragonflies that annoy me. They hover in one spot right up until I reach them then suddenly dart off leaving me with no idea where they went At least dragonflies aren't very good and not worth the effort. Blue butterflies are great (fortify enchanting...

    Smithing

    Yea, find the transmute spell book in halted stream camp, just north of Whiterun For making rings it's best to use silver when you have a load of gems, because silver rings can use more types of gemstones than gold rings so (if you make something like a silver garnet ring) the smithing...

    Legendary Difficulty: Your Experiences

    I'd recommend it. Actually with a powerful build by the time you reach double enchantments on your armour legendary doesn't feel much different from master. It's the early part of the game that's a real struggle I went for heavy magic resistance on my legendary character. He's a breton and I...

    Legendary Difficulty: Your Experiences

    Oh you can make your follower an absolute monster! I quite like having a follower with similar combat abilities to myself so I can give them my old armour, weapons and ring/necklace when I've made myself something better. It saves a lot of time making a unique set of armour and weapons for them...
