So is there a skill cap in Skyrim? Or is it possible to level everything to max given enough time?

No cap. There is a cap for perks at level 50.

 

[punkypine]

so i have some questions about game mechanics:

Light armor - do you move faster or also attack faster as compared to heavy armor?

Weapons - do daggers attack faster than 1h swords and axes (or is it just that the animation is different)? Is there a significant difference between 1h swords and 1h axes? I wish weapons also showed a damage per second type thing

 

[Haly]

How do you give companions equipment?

Just throw it into their storage and click?

biggest game.ever.
almost too big.

 

[Hawkian]

lick their pussy

where you questin bro

 

[iSurvivedTheOutage]

I love this game so much.

 

[styl3s]

Where are people getting this badass armor?

 

[JumpingTheGun]

talk about getting sidetracked: i get married in the middle of my first major Brotherhood hit. she just gave me 100 bucks from the business she started and now its finally time to cash in on the job i initially started out for.

i fucking love this game.

 

[Hawkian]

My Khajit in her Nightingale armor:

That's gonna be me as soon as I can get my hands on that set. kittycats 4 lyfe yo!

 

[Pixel Pete]

Loving this game, I'm getting lost.
Not original, but I'm enjoying my 1 hand bound sword and magic combo. My only complaint is that I believe robes don't count as light armor so I lost the 25% all-light-armor bonus, and I don't want to take off the robes because they give me 75% magicka regen =[

 

[ProfessorMoran]

seriously this is the worst game for OCD people of all time. Every time I talk to someone new I get a new quest to help lace their boots or lick their pussy or cook some fucking roast beef or some shit

doesn't anyone in this goddamn world know how to do their own shit?

That's why you need a hero, to cook that roast beef.

 

[Zhaanie]

Holy fuck, this Vokun guy is a fucking beastly caster. I feel like I don't stand a chance, even with help from that NPC lady and anti-magic abilities/potions.

Maybe I should return later with a companion.

 

[Haly]

Where are people getting this badass armor?

I assume questlines or crafting.

For the Nightingale armor, you have to finish the long chain of Thieves' Guide main quests.

The stats are:
Hood - Illusion spells cost 15% less to cast.
Armor - Increase your stamina by 30 points. Increase your Frost resistance by 30%.
Gloves - Lockpicking is 20% easier. One-handed attacks do 20% more damage.
Boots - Wearer is muffled and moves silently.

Nothing spectacular for a character like mine (who will usually kill people before they even notice) but it looks soooooo awesome.

 

[Loam]

It's possible to max even skill stat, but not get every perk. There's a level cap of 70.

Ah ok that makes sense. I keep hearing how you level up skills simply by using them and was wondering what was preventing your character from eventually getting god mode.

 

[Blue Ninja]

There's no hard level cap, you just stop levelling when your skills are all at 100.

 

[Hyunkel6]

Console players, is there a way to have more than two quick keys?

 

[Nesotenso]

Can you complete the questline for the imperial army and the stormcloaks for the same play through ?

 

[faulty_fork]

How do you give companions equipment?

Just throw it into their storage and click?

Yeah it seems like they will equip the best equipment they have in their inventory. My Huscarl is a real tank now after I gave her some quality armor.

 

[Gandie]

Did you help them kill the guards when they escaped? I just left them to it and have no problems with the guards.

I'm trying to remember, I'm pretty sure I didn't kill anyone once we got into the city. Is the Jarl gone in your game too? Also, it's impossible for me to go to jail, when I select the option in the dialogue with the guards it just restarts the conversation.

 

[Zhaanie]

Oh wow.

The NPC lady who wanted me to help her kill Vokun followed me outside, and she's fucking soloing a dragon now. :lol

She's amazingly strong with magic.

I. Love. This. Game.

[QUOTE=trudderham]Oh wow. I just had the most epic gaming moment of my life!

I was exploring the frost-bitten landscape looking for a long-lost mage staff when the music begins to swell (never a good sign) and out of the sky swoops two fu**ing dragons.

One dragon is scary enough. But two circling my head in ever-closing circles? Holy sh*t!

The first dragon landed with a thump in front of me and roared:

[IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/tomrudderham/skyrim1.jpg[IMG]

OK. Time to take this b*tch down. I managed to kill after after a long battle by dodging in-and-out of trees to avoid it's fiery breath while firing lighting and fire at it. Meanwhile, the second was attacking something in the background:

[IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/tomrudderham/skyrim2.jpg[IMG]

Out of nowhere a Wooly Mammoths runs by nearly crushing me. I rush through the trees and see two giants repeatedly beating the other dragon around the head with clubs:

[IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/tomrudderham/skyrim3.jpg[IMG]

An epic battle between two giants and dragon ensures. Flames and blood fly through the air before finally the dragon succumbed and exploded in flames, giving me a free dragon soul. Nice.

As I walked away the sun fell behind me over the most beautiful mountainscape in gaming. Simply magic:

I love this game.[/QUOTE]

Fucking Epic. I've just started playing. Can't wait to experience these kind of awesomeness.

 

[Lebron]

Fuck this game, I need to write a paper. Let me write my damn paper damn it!

 

[Hawkian]

There's no hard level cap, you just stop levelling when your skills are all at 100.

Yeah but that equals a hard level cap of 70!

 

[Veidt]

Fuck this game, I need to write a paper. Let me write my damn paper damn it!

fuck this game. i need to go to work tomorrow. i need to sleep. let me sleep dammit.

 

[cnizzle06]

Fuckin a man, Lydia died. Didnt even think that was possible

 

[PumpkinPie]

I'm trying to remember, I'm pretty sure I didn't kill anyone once we got into the city. Is the Jarl gone in your game too? Also, it's impossible for me to go to jail, when I select the option in the dialogue with the guards it just restarts the conversation.

I don't know if the Jarl is gone, I didn't actually get a chance to meet him before getting put in jail :/ His guards are still there so I guess he may be hanging around somewhere.

 

[jaaz]

Just found a Staff of Paralysis. Holy crap, this thing is powerful. Should I use it as a Staff, and keep replacing its Soul Gem? Or is it better if I disenchant it to learn the enchant and then enchant other items?

Playing the game as a battle-mage (one-handed weapons and destruction spells, mostly). If I disenchant it, where can I find a kick-ass one-handed weapon to enchant for my mage?

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Where are people getting this badass armor?

Good question.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I'm fully clad in Orcish gear at the moment, but those Daedric armor pieces you see in the loading screens are teasing me.

 

[Fumoffu]

Went the battle mage route, dual casting destruction spells (lightning bolt + fireball + frost storm) and when enemies get close I pull out my two-handed greater sword that absorbs 20 stamina point's. About 20 hours in, this game is really taking over my life.

Love it when an enemy dies their physics go totally wacko and they basically weigh 0, i.e. taking out a troll then to cast lightning bolt and see them fling off a cliff a few hundred meters.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

For the people playing sneaky/assassin characters, are you guys doing it with companion (Lydia, etc) or without them?

 

[Mailman 007]

Found this guy randomly wandering around near Whiterun.

Took forever for me to catch up to him, and right after I snapped this picture he disappeared.

 

[Hawkian]

For the people playing sneaky/assassin characters, are you guys doing it with companion (Lydia, etc) or without them?

I'm keeping Faendal around until I complete my requisite training (Thieves' Guild, Dark Brotherhood), then going solo.

 

[Harry Potter]

Can you get Lydia back? Some fucking Necromancers smoked her.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

THIS FUCKING SOUNDTRACK

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Can you get Lydia back? Some fucking Necromancers smoked her.

This is why I quick save before doing pretty much anything in this game.

 

[Clevinger]

Can you get Lydia back? Some fucking Necromancers smoked her.

Not unless you're a necromancer yourself.

 

[isamu]

I am only like a few hours into the game, and

I

FUCKING

LOVE

THIS

GAME!!!!


I have been wanting s spiritual successor to Amiga Dungeon Master for DECADES...and now it appears I have gotten one. The tight corridors, the forboding atmosphere, eevrything screams next gen Dungeon Master!

This game is the only fantasy Western RPG I have played in the last two decades *other* than Fallout 3, and the experiance is amazing! I am already immersed and engrossed in the world of Skyrim much much more than I ever was in Fallout 3. Fucking love it. BRING ON THE MODS!!!!

 

[mocoworm]

Fuckin a man, ...

I haven't done this quest yet

 

[herzogzwei1989]

could it be that Skyrim is just too big for the average to above average player?

 

[Dinokill]

What difficulty are you guys playing? Im playing the second highest and I'm getting wrecked everytime by mages, orc, sabre cat, bandits etc

 

[Arjen]

For the people playing sneaky/assassin characters, are you guys doing it with companion (Lydia, etc) or without them?

Without, just doesn't feel right for my character.
Im collecting them all in my house though.

 

[la flama blanca]

How do I get a dragon to land or fight me if it's flying around in the sky?

 

[Hawkian]

Without, just doesn't feel right for my character.
Im collecting them all in my house though.

I never thought about that. I think I will do the same when I buy my place in case I need a buddy for a specific task.

 

[pakkit]

I'm not digging the spoiler ridden pics running amok in this thread...

I guess I'll just go back to playing.

 

[Tenck]

16 hours in and level 15. I have only been to two cities in the game so far... Its insane to think the game is really *that* large. Wow.

Looking like completing it (for me) is to be a 200-300hr task.

I'm level 7 and have put 12 hours into the game. It really is amazing reading stories of other players here. We're all on our own different adventures.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Got it. Looks like I have a cave to go clear then. Thanks.

And what a cave. Holy crap!

So the jarl asks me to do a favor and carry something to a shrine for her. Sure, no problem. Maybe I can get a house in this town for it. Where's the shrine...HOLY CRAP the other side of the planet.

Time to sell a whole lotta loot. Might invest in a horse for this one. I'm still not fast traveling.

going home now transferring my save from my brothers house to my house. Hopefully it will work!

I am level 5 and 2 hours in and that is just the first dungeon! I think I am leveling up too fast. Time to steal things.
