When you level up a skill, you get EXP equivalent to the new skill level (i.e., Archery 50 to 51 gives you 51 EXP). Each level requires (CurrentLevel + 3) * 25 EXP before you gain a level.
So, basically, 5 skill ups of Destruction, presumably getting to 16 -> 20, was worth less than the Archery. That said, 5 skill ups even at 16-20 is still a lot (+89 EXP?) so unless you had 90+ Archery...
that's how Morrowind and Oblivion worked.
I notice that quote on a bunch of other Skyrim videos too...probably a new meme incoming.
It is funny though that Ive heard about 10 different guards say that line.

Huh, I hadn't heard the "Talos is Lorkhhan"-theory yet. I know there were plenty of Shezzarines in the past (like Pelinal Whitestrake) but I hadn't stopped to figure that maybe Talos was one, too.
It's certainly a possibility.
oh neat, so THIS is what it sounds like when someone that can actually sing performs the song.
Seriously, those voice actors are horrible in the game.
And someone is probably facepalming at the moment at some people thinking about a video game lore.
Didn't Lorkhan, uh, die? His heart was in Red Mountain, his body is two moons. Supposedly.
I wonder if people can mod out the in game bards and mod a persona of this woman in to sing this...

So I know the bugs the new patch causes on consoles - 'resistances no longer work'
but what things does it fix?
I figure I should way the pros and cons and see if the patch is worth it.

Leveling up lower skills at higher levels don't have as much weight as a higher skill

Got a question. I went up the left side of the Blacksmithing tree to get Glass and Dragon armor. However, now I want a Daedric bow. Can I just jump over from Dragon to get Daedric, or do I have to level up the right side? Can't test this as I'm not at home.`
No, the tree doesn't loop. You'd have to go up the entire right path of the tree to get to Daedric.
This game.
The left side of the tree is pointless, as you can get the best Light Armour and weapons through the right side anyway.
Free cake transcends life and death.
Glass Armor and Weapons are just so damn sexy. Just had to get them. Elven Weapons are superior to Dwarven ones BTW, but both perks require the same amount of skill. Only the materials are harder to get, and not by much if you're willing to travel to different merchants.
I'll gladly take better mouse sensitivity on PC if it means i have a resistance bug, especially considering i have no magic resistance on my armor. How many times did i try to click a dialogue choice and the mouse decided to select something? Too many times.
Still hope that the next patch wont bring more issues and just fix things.

Nope, in fact the higher the level the more skill increases it takes to gain the next one.

Ops! Forgot about it, I'm keeping it in my closet while playing with my other copy of the game.
And the strategy guid book on the way
Don't patch. Magic resistance goes kaput, and on top of that textures still don't load properly. Stick with playing off the disk un-patched for now.
Wow. Fantastic.

HELP! I'm in the
and I cannot get anywhere. Did anyone have trouble with this when you did it? Please somebody help me through it. It's the hardest dungeon I've been to. thanks in advance.
Alftand Ruined Tower
I solved the texture problem by installing it to an USB stick. Its worth trying
Bah, don't have one spare. Is this easy to do? I'm assuming just plug it in, and when clicking to install you just choose the USB drive?
It really is satisfying to craft a new weapon. I've used the same (crafted) dagger for throat slitting for about 15 levels now, and just crafted a new superior ebony blade, with 16 points fire damage, that is a big step up from my last. Between it and the new bow, my gear just got a good kick in the pants.
3rd Daedric quest down, pushing the war forward a bit today. An exchange of axes is taking place.
I read that and thought, what happened to leaving hilarious bugs in? :lol
Found an amulet of Mara. Gonna find me a bride.

Anyone having issues with freezes during loading screens? They seem to be happening to me much more frequently now after the patch, I had 2 in the last 30 minutes of play.
Well, my character is pretty much fucked now - all magic resistance is pretty much non-existent, and when you're not wearing anything but a robe, that kind of screws it up.
Any acknowledgement yet of the issue, or fix in the works? It's unplayable for me now, and I love(d) this game.

Happened to me. Lydia showed up dead and that got my wife all pissed at me and everyone else in the temple. They told me to leave and she called the wedding off.
I love how guards make comments about your character, depending on your levels in certain skills, and what quests you've completed. A guard made a comment about my Dragon Scale Armor. "Is your armor made of... Dragon Scales?! What I wouldn't give for a set of that."
I've had the armor for a long time, and it's only now I get complimented on it.

She also does a brief rendition of the main theme in there... 1:25 is pure bliss.

I will say it again, Bitch Dragons. This Bitch Dragon Patch would be perfect if it didn't, you know, destroy resistance. I have run into so many Bitch Dragons it is ridiculous. I mean, I know I am awesome but having to waste like 10 minutes and 50 arrows trying to get it's attention is a bit annoying.
Freakin' Bitch Dragons...

You really should just stop using the spoiler tag. Whether it contains a spoiler or not, you're using it wrong in all cases. No, Alftand Ruined Tower is not a spoiler. It's actually the information you need if you want to hide spoilers.
I'm definitely not venturing the world now and will stop playing if I have nothing to do in towns as long as they leave this bug in. I didn't grind 2-handed, illusion, restoration, destruction, light armor (all non-perks, not my build!) just to get slaughtered by novice mages.

Haha pretty much. I just moved Lydia's corpse and apologized to my future wife. That's all she needed and now we are happily married. And now I haven't seen her since the wedding

I'm walking around the city, decked out in full Dragonplate, Spell Breaker and a Daedric sword. My heavy armor, one-handed and block skills are at 100. The rest is significantly lower. Here's a selection of what the guards have to say to me.
"Favor the bow, eh? I'm a sword man, myself."
"Destruction magic's fine, just don't go burning any buildings."
"Keep your hands to yourself, sneak thief!"
"The gods gave you two hands, and you use them both for your weapon, I can respect that."
Are these guards fucking dense? Don't they know who I am?
I'm the goddamn Dovahkiin.
I want this on official OST.

This is funny, because they never said that to me during the 60 hours I went dual wielding, but once I started wielding a 2-handed sword (for fun/training) they start appreciating it. Do they not know how fearsome my skill is in dual wielding

Sorry I didn't understand that. Though I'll try what you suggested. Still, I need some help here.

So what kind of damage do people do with their weapon specialties?
With an ebony bow and ebony arrows I'm doing 105 damage in addition to 25 of frost and half as much shock. That is usually tripled as I'm generally always hidden.
My one-armed skill is only 54 and daggers only do 16, but when sneaking with the right armor
I can do a massive 480 point backstab.

Why would anyone go left in that tree? Not worth the time to craft or use.

Another great resource. I know where you are and I can't think of a single puzzle or anything that would make it hard to navigate. Where are you stuck?
