Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

There's no value per weight column in the pic.

[koro]

It's optional, I believe. You can see it displayed in some of the user-uploaded pics on the Nexus page for the mod.

It's there, I am looking a it in game right now. I suppose the picture is an older version (its from the Skyrim nexus)

Edit: Me posing in Whiterun! 

[Sheepherder]

  The silent unblinking Nord staring at and undressing me with his eyes during the otherwise picturesque and pleasant cart ride was a little off-putting, by the time the cart stopped moving I was pretty sure that he was being put away for rape.

Apparently the staring was mutual, and your sexual thoughts betray you.

Steam apparently found another patch, and now he and the thief talk about home and the afterlife and other cliched shit rather than conspiring to rape me in the prison shower.  Now I can get to the headsman's block, some dude gets iced, and then all the imperials stand around while the Executioner looks mildly embarrassed because someone has forgot their lines again.

For fuck's sake, Bethesda.

I'm level 19 and barely into the main quest and dragons have gone from cool to nuisances because they keep showing up whenever I don't want them to show up. I'll be schlepping my way halfway across the country to get to some sidequest I'm really interested in and~oh, great, another dragon. Now I have to haul like 50 pounds of rotting dragon parts back to my house again because I know I'll need it all for armor later.

[lamaros]

Don't be a smith, save yourself the bother!

[Pezzle]

Today I arrived in a new town.  A Dragon attacked.  I watched it breath on farmers and peasants.  I heard them screaming insults and challenges at it with daggers and swords drawn.  It took me a minute or so to get into attack position.  The only thing that died was the Dragon.  Apparently, I remain awesome in the eyes of the people.

[Ingmar]

I'm definitely crashing more often post patch.

[tmp]

Finding the patchnotes funnier than the game itself. The kicker is they could all well be real.

(they randomly change on page reload, too)

Good song and the singer is cute!

[Falconeer]

Figured  Jeff Kelly and Falconeer might enjoy this, even if no one else does.

YES 

[Falconeer]

On another note, I realize potential followers have their levels locked to whenever you meet them for the first time. Not when you hire them, when you meet them. Hence, not just Lydia is useless, but everyone in the Companions in Whiterun. So, just to try out the theory, after having Aela and Vilkas on their knees every two seconds, I tried hiring that mage in Riften the moment I met him (I am now level 24), and he's been melting faces left and right and basically one-shotting everything before it even got in range. Felt like cheating, so yes, had to fire him.

I've been using the new 4g patch from skyrim nexus to launch the game, it's solved my crashes.

Man, Light Armor is really the way to go in this game, if you're a warrior.

[koro]

Heavy armor can be really good as well, but it takes a goodly bit longer (and a lot more invested Stamina) before it comes into its own.

It also pretty much requires you to take the Steed stone early on.

But yeah, if you're a sword-and-board fighter, Light armor is, oddly, probably the best choice. Which I wish I knew before I sunk 20 hours into mine.

I started 2h/heavy, did the dual wield/heavy, bu rerolled.. and now Light sword n board.

And I'm rocking Fur, well into it.  I'll eventually go up to Dragon, but Fur is badass.

[Arinon]

I was 2h and went Heavy Armour due to the way the Smithing tree is laid out.  Ebony and Daedric weapons are waaay cooler than Glass.  Picking up The Steed stone buff pretty much made the shitty parts of Heavy not so shitty.  If you are only planning one mega-playthrough though I think Light Armour is the way to go.

Playing with magic now but it seems to level so damn slow, even with the skill boosting stone buff.  I have to drag out lots of fights waiting for mana or else have my 1h/bow skill skyrocket out of control.

[Sheepherder]

- Fixed an issue where form IDs were not being marked as free properly, causing objects to disappear in game.

  Someone is bitter.

I think I may end up using something relatively basic. Like a Skyforge or Blades weapon, and use Elemental Fury shout often (can only work on non-enchanted weapons).

[Ironwood]

Really, really regretting some of my early perk choices.

[Falconeer]

Just finished the main quest.. and I have a few questions for those who played and replayed extensively.

Really, really regretting some of my early perk choices.

The good thing is, the cap is extremely high, and there are enough random things to do to still have fun getting there (imo). I'm not sure if you could fill out all of the trees, but I think you could get close (or simply make up for some early choices), if you really wanted to.

[K9]

I think the hard cap is ~70 perks, although there is supposed to be a soft cap around level 50. I'm pretty sure you don't really need more than about 35 perks or so to have a pretty much min-maxed character.

[Sky]

Heavy armor is awesome. Hack your weight limit!  I normally don't use hacks but Skyrim is pretty obnoxious about weight limits. Epic dragonbone + epic ebony war axe ftw (haven't even seen a daedra heart yet). Gave up on magic weapons, pain in the ass to keep charged.

A hack is making the grass look nicer in the .ini - what you're doing is cheating. Let's be clear on terms here. You may be hacking in the change, but you're cheating. Which is fine.

Cheater.

[lesion]

Because spergy min-maxers are infiltrating the highest levels of our internets. If you're asking the question, you really (really) don't need to worry about it.

I can take a crack at these.

I've used the bow with soul steal enchant. It was pretty much an automatic "one-shot thing, bag the soul" process.

[K9]

Yeah, the soul gem mechanic in this game is pretty streamlined. Just make a soultrap weapon, get a ton of petty soul gems and go kill some chickens.

Instant weapon fuel right there.

[Miasma]

Just finished the main quest.. and I have a few questions for those who played and replayed extensively.

If you are levelling up enchanting you can make weapons with quite a few charges on them and later in the game you will have a lot more money than you can spend so you can just buy filled common, greater or even grand soulgems for recharges.  At level 50 and 100 enchant I could make a bow with 200 single effect charges or 100 dual effect (like having both frost and shock).  If you aren't going to enchant at least smith so that you can improve the weapons.

[rk47]

Do the azura star quest and kill a few mammoths with soul trapping weapons.
Fill the gem, recharge, fill the gem recharge, fill the gem- re-

It's pretty simple. Enchanted weapons are great because with high weapon speed, those elemental damage will always deal same damage per swing, it's probably the only reason why dual wield and one hander remains attractive despite two handers' big damage.

Combine Fire Breath Shout with Fire enchant and you deal extra fire.
I got lucky and the first Axe of Whiterun was a Soultrapping Twohander - so I'm set for a long time.

Leveling from soup trap spells can get fucking annoying though. Also, if you want to make the gem charge for more, try the gem squeezer perk.

[lamaros]

The weight limit in the game is fine. If you want to be a hoarder then get the pickpocketing perk, thieves armor, +stamina and +space enchants. You can get up to 500 + without having to cheat.

I dunno why you would though. You can get filthy rich just looting jewelery and potions, which weigh nothing.

[rk47]

Weight limit isn't really an issue too, it's just that running around with 100 potions = 50 semi-perma weight. +100 armor and weapon. That's like 150 consumed by default.
