Skyrim Thread

Question for the assassins:

Gear: Ok I know light armor is a must. I'm assuming light armor as a set, no other types in between.

Weapons: Which is primary/Secondary? Ranged/Melee? For Melee, do you use daggers exclusively or dagger/sword combo? I'm running with a fine iron and fine steel dagger atm, with points shared between 1hand combat and archery.

Spells: Do you make use of them? Healing? And do you only equip them when the need arises? Or do you roll with one equipped?

Shouts: Any advice?

Magicka/Health/Stam: So far I've upgraded 3lvls of Health. Should I focus on others?

I'm still a lvl4 woodelf and very soft indeed. I can't put a dent in the whiterun town guards. :(

What should I focus on as professions/skills? I'm lockpicking everything I find (successfully so far), but I'm wondering what I should put points into?

My advice is head to Riften and do join the thieves guild or find the Dark Brotherhood quest in Winterhelm (i think thats what its called) As both will give you decent light armor.

I use Bow primary or a Sword/War Axe combo. I do have a dagger for close range assassinations but for it to be worth it invest some points in the sneak tree (there are some good backstab bonuses. like 15X dagger damage etc)

Spells I would say Healing and Stone or Oakskin i use most. And only when the need arises.

Shouts Marked for Death is key but remember using your shout will alert everyone in earshot of your presence.

I spread my Health/Magicka/Stam upgrades out evenly but Health and Stam would take pref on lower levels.

Profession I say Smiting as it lets you upgrade you armor (later on even enchanted one) and build some nice weapons which may be cheaper than buying.

I found that you can get away with not putting points into lockpicking early on but that later it becomes necessary. Early dump points into one-handed, Archery, Smiting, Sneaking and maybe one other of your choice.

Like i said doing either the dark brotherhood or thieves guild quest will help you on the right path.

I am using a mace. I like bashing skulls :p

Yea i believe so, being a follower since morrowind im sure this game will more than live up to my expectations. There is only one problem that i still cannot beleive they have not implemented. The only thing i felt oblivion/morrowind was missing was a friend to join me on my adventures in a co-op mode or something similar to that but maybe one day bethesda will learn and make the game multiplayer.

Co-op would require an entirely new form of balancing an allready precariously balanced game. Fable 2 & 3 both tried, and failed, to bring co-op into an RPG and while Bioware is bringing in MP for ME3 it is completely removed from the actually story. Somehow I feel that someone joining me would diminish he experience.

Each to his own. This is more or less my playstyle atm.

Sneaky archer. Only got perks in arcery, sneak(for the 3x damage for bow) Smithing,Speech and enchanting. Got some powerfull weapons and armor.

I joined the companiens first to get some gold got enought to buy the 5k home early game. Also do bounty from inns easy money since you normaly only face 1 or 2 bandits at the same time.

I use a sword and dagger as close range weapons my dagger has a change of insta kill so did not speck into the one hand combat. also use it for the sneak attack.
Magic:150
HP: 290
Stanima: 260

As for shouts I use slow time and flame breath and unrelenting force :D

Lockpicking is fine late game sure you might use up 20 on a master lock but you can still get them all open it just takes more time. But I would recomend this over smiting if your going full thief type character.

If your going mage go to the school asap. ALso you can pick up awesome loot from bandits camps and you can most likley get the full set of armor.

I got a full set of glass armor from bandit camps.

I have to agree with omega. I don't want elder scrolls to become social. It defeats the purpose of the world. I like getting lost and forgetting the outside world.

Staying up late tonight..played quite a bit and I gotta say..FUCK this game is addictive.
So so so much fun, I haven't even bothered with MW3 or BF3 since Sunday lmao.

I haven't touched anything else since it launched...

Did a few more of the Dark Brotherhood quests, really rewarding seeing my character build turning my char into the silent killing machine I wanted him to be.

Ever since the Dark Brotherhood quests, I've become a lot more sneakier as well, more like an assassin. What's really cool is that I'm wearing full Dragon plate armor, with Conditioning, dual-wielding sword and dagger with ridiculous DPS and I can sneak up on anyone easily and take them out like a baws.

Man... I love this game.

Edit: Currently level 43, 100 smithing, 99 One-Handed, 73 Sneaking, 78 Heavy Armor, 68 Block, 65 Enchanting.
