Try dumping out a lot of torchlights in an inside area. See what happens.


on a side note: apparently, older than fxaa card, doing fxaa + dual screen activity = exploding graphic card

MY CABBAGES!

Actually, I'm more concerned about where they got that panda bear head.

[Classic]

It seems like whenever Level%10==5 or so, I get my ass handed to me by unreasonably strong boss monsters because I'm lunking around pieces of shit for equipment and hoarding my perk points.

At level 55 though, I'm mostly cruising through! I'm finally confident enough to exploit the shit out of crafting and shouts. I also have a decent magicka regen rate and the Restoration school perks to make healing efficient. So unless I'm fighting a dragon I can save up my potions.

Downside is that I'm toting around something like 200 potions now, on top of my heavy armor that's a few points short of getting that delicious weight reduction (I dabbled in light armor for a while).

Oh well.

Also, even though I don't know what's up with wards, and it's kind of a pain in the ass to keep my buffing spells active for battle, I've come to the conclusion that Destruction is one of the spell schools I get the least use out of.

I don't know what's up with wards

Think of a ward spell as a shield, basically. Control-wise it works the same way, you hold a button to put it up and it blocks stuff. The difference between a ward and a physical shield though is that wards block all spell effects while they're active, but once they've absorbed X points of magic damage in a single use you're forced into a recoil animation as if you had taken a physical power strike.

So I decided to play a two handed, heavy armored Nord juggernaut of a character, and I spent about 50 hours faffing about doing side quests and discovering all kinds of shit. Leveled Smithing to 100 and made some Legendary Dragonplate, which, when combined with heavy armor perks, makes literally no physical attack in the game short of possible Alduin's bite any concern at all. At some point in there I did the Civil war, siding with the Empire because of the choices present, that's the one that's the worst for the Thalmor, and fuck the Thalmor.

I'm only level 35, but basically nothing can hurt me, I do absolutely stupid damage with my weapon (god help you if I combine it with Marked for Death for which I have all three words). So I figure, might as well go see what the ending is like. Maybe if I do that people will actually act like the civil war is over, or the dragons are gone, or like I've had any major effect at all because I fucking have, but no, not even a Ron Perlman recap of the state of Skyrim after the Dragonborn did his business before I'm dropped back into the sandbox. I'll admit becoming king of the dragons at the throat of the world was pretty awesome, but then it's like "oh yeah, that bitch wanted potatoes" and I'm like "I think I'll start a mage".

[Doom]

It's really disorienting to rush the Civil War and then play out the rest of the game with people constantly referring to their support of Ulfric Stormcloak, who I unceremoniously nailed to his own throne with arrows.

"I hope the war ends soon. It's bad for business"

HEY FREAKSHOW!

ALDUIIIIIIIIN IS READYYYYYYYYYYY!

They should have left the streamers on his arms

[Malikial]

I think they should have just left him a dragon, but put on the hat and long hair.

Oh no.  Maximum horror was required.  And achieved.

Some people are saying there's no reason to take light armour over heavy, since the Heavy Armor perk 'Conditioning' removes the weight and speed penalty. I'm not certain that you can remove the entire Stealth penalty, though. None of the Stealth-enhancing perks or spells actually say they reduce sound to zero, and the various Skyrim wikis and forums often report untested facts.

Any idea?

[patito]

Heavy Armor doesn't remove sound and the way you can abuse smiting means you can improve light armor to the level of heavy armor anyway. So light armor if you want to be stealthy, heavy armor if you want to punch things with your fists. Also, light armor has stamina perks.

What I'm saying here is light armor rules and heavy armor generally looks ugly as hell.

[Bal]

Enchant cloths, use alteration armor spells, and bound weapons. The perfect crime.

[Classic]

But then how will you get to level 80+!?
You gotta max your armours skillz.

EDIT:
Also Heavy Armor's apex perk, melee reflection is slightly better. Assuming it's not bugged? It claims you reflect back 10% of incoming hits (dunno what that means!) instead of dodging 10% for the light armor perk.

But I'm a crazy 2-handed weapons guy, the only thing that hits me for damage I even sort of care about is dragons, and I don't know if their bites count.

EDIT EDIT:

use alteration armor spells

Master alteration spell is supposed to give you max physical reduction.
Supposedly the physical reduction goes past max if you've got the mage armor perks active.
