On that note, it bugs me that the text is that you apply the poison ... to the bow. :/

Conjuration skill should be tied to the baseDamage of the Sword and One-Handed skill (or Two-Handed, Archery for those weapons) adjusts how much of that value you get. The perks do apply as well.
I was going to say. I have two skills at level 100 and I skyrocketed to level 42 and all my other skills are below or WAY below 70 (Most are ~50). Even with 250 perks and no respec system in the game yet it is still really easy to get everything you want. Most of your points will be invested in enchanting (or alchemy if you want to play that way) and your primary weapon tree (magic, one handed, archery, or two handed) and the rest going to basic skills like speechcraft and armor.Colkate said:

I've seen people talk about siding with one faction or another - is that something that develops for everyone during the main quest? Or is it completely optional (and could be missed)? I'm pretty early in the game (just met
) but haven't had this happen yet.

wtf and cool moment in one.
I got to some location on the top of a waterfall, it was marked on the map so I thought it's something important. My companion walked to the edge and said something about the view so I was like 'it's your time to die', saved and shouted him off. I watched him fall and he didn't land in the water but on some rocks. I didn't want him to die of course; that's why I saved it. I jumped off into the water, got out and there was a ghost waiting. He was a bard and he was talking about something and my speech increased, looked around and he was gone.
Btw, my companion was still alive, amazingly.

Alchemy is far and away the worst crafting to level up. I have been picking up almost every ingredient I see for the first like 35 hours and rarely making potions, just throwing them into my ingredient sack in my house.
Just now took like 10 minutes to make a ton of potions. Made every potion I could, only went from 40 to 60 alchemy.
Different potions level it up significantly differently. I guess it's just the more powerful the potion, the more you level up maybe? Making potions with double properties level it up WAY faster than single.
Edit: But even when making single propery potions, two different restore health could be very different how much xp they give you.

The land of lolcats, pickpockets, and drug dealers. No thanks.Dresden said:
Sorry I had a bad experience with Khajiit, so I'm a little racist.
so i found this dog
that started following me. i left him in my breeze home with lydia. after a couple of game days, a guard came up to me and said "you and your companion need to control your dog, his howling is getting out of hand." lol these kinds of little details make this game soooo good.

Gotta start third, err, fourth character. I got bored with my first (a Nord warrior) as i thought i had made some wrong skill and perk choices. My second was an Orc warrior, similar to the first but some changes. Nothing wrong with it, but got bored of melee, as much as i like it and its brutality. Third didn't get farther than Riverwood, an Altmer Mage whom i need to rethink. So... Going to make my fourth one soon. But who it'll be?
Here are some concepts i wrote down:
--
Nord Barbarian
Two handed (sword), light armor, speech, sneak?
High Elf Priestess
Speech, Restoration, Illusion, Alteration, Alchemy? Companions conduct most combat along with Illusion spells.
Dunmer Assassin/Thief
One Handed, Pickpocket, Sneak, Light Armor, Alchemy, Archery
Dunmer Battlemage (Vampire for some time maybe?)
Heavy Armor, Smithing, Enchanting, Destruction, Conjuration, uses Bound Sword and staves as well.
--
As you see, the Nord is rather Conan the Barbarian-like but won't be playing that one anytime soon, as i said i got bored of melee.
Currently thinking about Dunmer assassin as i like sneaking around but Dunmer battlemage would be very interesting; Dual wielding fire spells while charging in clad in Daedric armor would be very nice...
Also have this Khajiit warrior/trader idea but don't want to play it yet.

The first thing i need to do is to decide whom i play, then i'll think the perks. For dunmer they're easy: A lot in sneak, 3 or so in one handed, half of the archery perks, a lot of pickpocket ones, the rest in light armor and alchemy (if i bother with that).Gravijah said:
EDIT LOL@3 people quoting my post. Gives a wall of text a new meaning...
EDIT2, really hard to decide beetween Dunmer characters. I really like that race and both styles appeal to me a lot.
Woorloog said:
I got something around the battlemage. I use Conjuration, One-Handed, Enchanting, Alteration, and Restoration though. No need for armor and shit with your great pets and the alteration skins and heals. No need for enchanting because the mage quest fulfills all my needs.

What is this about PS3 save issues? I'm just starting the game on PS3 now.
Rant into a nasty bug where my follower was stuck in combat mode with no enemies around and wouldn't respond to anything. Had to go into the console and "move" her to my location to fix it; tried killing/resurrecting her through the console at first but that removed everything I stored on her.
Waiting for three+ in-game days didn't have her reset as it normally would, so if that happens on consoles I don't think there's a fix.

Great, I'm on PS3, as soon as I get off the cart at the start before the execution the game froze for like 10 seconds. Why? This is not a good start!
It slows down the game??

Same thing happened to me at the start. And apparently a bug makes it so that the game slows down the bigger your save file gets (it gets bigger naturally). My save is almost 5MB and I've been noticing some slowdown, but I'm not sure if it's the save file or just the environments straining the system.Ether_Snake said:

just make sure you're path is correct, for me on win7 steam is installed into "program files (x86)", and not into plain "program files". It took me a few mins before I realized that when I copied their command and just changed the drive letters. EX...

There are a lot of good utility perks smattered around in the caster trees. Atronach, for instance, gives you 30% spell absorption, which is not only 30% reduction of spell damage taken but also gives you mana back whenever you take spell damage. There's also a skill in restoration that basically lets you cheat death once per day passively.Vect said:

There is no way around that?
If this happens to me, I'm selling the game.
They better fix this.
