I hit level 37 or so my first playthrough. I can't imagine 50... D:

So what's it like being an unstoppable demi-god made flesh?

I'm 44 and it's annoying as fuck. Draugr Deathlords, Draugr Deathlords everywhere. All of them with disarm shouts. Couldn't dodge. :(

OK, no using Storm Call. Ever. It's non-discriminatory. I've lost my minion 5 times to it now (I reload every time) and it NEVER HITS THE DAMN DRAGON.

What's Storm Call?

Cold Heritage · « **Reply #479 on:** December 09, 2011, 01:15:15 AM »

I went to join the Bard's College. To prove my worthiness to be a bard, they sent me . . . into an undead filled dungeon. I'm . . . I'm not sure how fighting draugr makes one worthy to be a bard. None of the ones I've encountered would've survived going in there. :/

What's Storm Call?

It's a shout that causes a storm. During that storm, lightning will randomly strike targets nearby, friend or foe.

I've lost followers because followers are dumb as shit and will run right in front of you as you're blasting, shooting or slicing. I've killed all but my husband who was killed by a stray area effect spell after getting knocked down. I will mourn him forever,

Who did you marry?

Athis

I just loved his accent

I just realized...there's no Chameleon spell/abilities in skyrim...no more playing the invisible tyrant/assassin! But it was fun ganking enemies in the back with a dagger and watch all their comrades freak out! :(

You mean other than "Invisibility?"

It's either Adept or Expert-level Illusion. I forget which.

Tsenta · « **Reply #485 on:** December 09, 2011, 09:02:17 AM »

Invisibility isn't enchantable to gear and the spell dies out once you use an item or attack an enemy. I loved in Oblivion I could stalk into a group of enemies, gank one, and watch all the other reactions.

Oh, is that all you want to do?

Enchant +% sneak effectiveness to as much gear as you can. You can pull some pretty impossible ganks and not get in trouble for it. Particularly if you cast invis immediately after the kill.

Or a bow and arrow with decent skill and the x3 damage perk. Especially if you mod to get realistic bow distance. The game cuts off your shots after a certain distance.

It's not really a mod you download, you just change some info in the .ini file regarding combat flags.

Instructions found here.

What Shjade said.

And I just meant mod the files. Not actually a game mod.

I don't have an actor flag in my .ini that's irritating...

Tsenta · « **Reply #493 on:** December 10, 2011, 05:17:35 AM »

I'm playing on PS3 so modding is impossible for me at the moment. I have fortify archery stacked up on my armor, plus a legendary daedric bow. With the five Archery perks + the stacked bonus + the legendary daedric bow. I'm doing roughly 500dmg a shot, I don't need the 3X dmg sneak attack perk.

Add it. Anything you're adding to your .ini file, you just add. You don't have to put it under a specific area.

Let's see...legendary daedric bow is ~90 damage with the archery perks 5/5? Enchants get that up ~200% if you have it on ring, gloves, necklace and helm, so 270-ish, plus arrow damage.

How are you getting 500 damage shots?

*will have to go mess around in Skyrim to check numbers*

Edit: I bet I'm not thinking of the bow's base damage at skill 100.

I imagine it's the same concept as the 500dmg Daedric Mace. Alchemy + Enchanting + Smithing loop. Plus with sneak you can get insane multipliers on damage too.

Except he said he wasn't sneak-attacking.

Oh my gaaad Skyrim. I was playing RIFT and totally forgot about it for a week or so... but now that I'm replaying I keep running into various trees... bloodthirsty dragons... scary zombie folk...

I murdered my husbands too. I suck at life in Skyrim! I'm a hot elf though, that's all that matters.

Level 61 Imperial, and a sexy veritable god at that.
