[Megathread] Skyrim Discussion

[Agallochh]

I love how our megathread has reached 215 pages, is running strongly still, yet we probably will never get a subforum because obviously, the hype will die down in a couple weeks, right? ::rolls eyes::

Does anyone know how to fix this?
It appears patch 1.3 made my game completely unplayable; the game won't start anymore.
Everything worked fine before, no mods used if that's important.

Nvm about this, steam apparently just didn't update it.
Deleted "ClientRegisty.blob" from steam folder and it updated.

I know, right? The megathread will pick up again once the creation kit roll out in Jan.

Does this get better at 100 sneak ? Can you restealth constantly and get sneak kills on multiple enemies next to each other ?

Hi sneak makes this game retarded easy. By the time I was at 70 sneak I was able to barrel roll into a room with 5 people, take out two, run out and lose the ones still surviving so I could come do it again. Not so efficient but by the time was at 85+ I could walk into a room and slaughter every single one individually as long as I stuck to the shadows or timed it so they had their backs turned to me.

Sneaks daggers is really compelling and twitchy gameplay but so is sneak archer. I never really put heavy emphasis on archery but with high enough sneak you just need to shoot, barrel roll to set up at a new spot and kill.

I really wish I'd gone the pick pocketing route in perks. The misdirection perk sounds amazing when you're about to go up against those heavy hitters in dungeons.

I do want to say though that smithing does take a lot out of the game. The professions need a huge nerf. Dragon armor and daedric weapons take out any challenge from the game whatsoever (legendary daedric bow one shotting everything except dragons).

Dragon fights have me constantly wanting to go one hand/shield build. There's nothing more fun than timing your bashes against a dragon's breath or bite.

Casting isn't all that great and it seems that your enemies are a lot better at it than you are no matter how high skill you're at but that's just personal experience.

Secret with being a caster is also getting enchanting. By doing double enchants of destro/magicka+destro can get your spells to cost 99% less.
Also its not a barrel roll because you aren't rolling to the side. It's more of a somersault. Also the only thing that needs to be nerfed in smithing is iron daggers/leather braces/ other low level stuff that power levels you.

Smithing is pretty broken actually, especially combined with enchanting and alchemy. My daedric chest armor alone armor caps me, and my daedric longsword's damage is 370. And I'm not even trying to stack damage, I'm stacking health and health regeneration, and on a power attack crit I one shot anything. And that's without my orc racial that doubles my damage.

I shudder to think of the kind of damage you could get with a two hander, and +two handed damage on every piece of gear possible. I wonder if you could do enough damage to glitch out the game like in Morrowind lol?

Aye my mage is a walking god with all three at 100 and pimped out gear. On my next play through i doubt i will take them all. On a lighter note tho...

What is the biggest dungeon in Skyrim? I've been to a couple huge dwarven places but I want to know the biggest (and also most time consuming) dungeon.

[PACOX]

I pickpocketed a lady in Riften, got greedy and got caught. Guard comes up to me, "You're a bad boy, etc, etc." I don't care, I am Thane of Riften and Thieves Guild Master by now. The fine was 12 gold. I pay up but as I start to walk away I notice something. While I was talking to the guard I could see another guard firing his bow and my companion swinging her sword. By coincidence they stop when I finish talking to the guard. I turn around to see the horrow, the guards and my companion executed everyone that was outside. All the victims lay in a pile. This all went down in a matter of seconds.

What have I unleashed upon the world.....

An educated guess would be Blackreach, but I could be wrong.

[jtgizmo]

is there a way to pickpocket Astrid for Blade of Woe? I didnt know you can pick pocket her at the beggining (before joining) and now when I try, no items appear, is there any other chanse or is that it? (I know you will get it at the end of DB quest line, but i wanted to dual wield with them...) anyone knows?

[Rukus]

ok so....I was going to Solitude, walked right into the town and immediately saw the Empire up to no good by doing this certain act towards this certain man. I then drew my sword and slew all the officers, guards, etc. Now my bounty in Solitude is up to 1k gold....have I royally screwed up or can I afford to lose Solitude as a city I go to and quest from? I hate the Empire so much and that city is pro Empire (in my game that is)

Also, I waited to do this killing spree AFTER the quest with Faldor and the recon of the Thalmor embassy etc.

How screwed am I?

Do you want to fight for the Imperials? That makes all the difference .

Hint: read the achievement/trophy list.

Pffffft Pay of the fine!?!

What sort of witchcraft are you dealing over there.

[Migey]

There were some awesome things and places in those death videos i've never seen before? Hard to know which is real and which modded. I've never seen a mammoth stampede. Or a Dwarven Centurion in outside world fighting? Or that cell with all the chickens?! Or the hallway with the indiana jones rock?

GOTY on Spike TV Awards!

(it was expected to be honest)

[Alcomo]

Woot! Way to go Skyrim. Of course we all knew it was GOTY anyways!
