The race you play has a little effect on your charactor. Nords have a 50% frost resist which is nice. The cats have claws which do good h2h dmg, the lizards are disease resistant and can go underwater indefinitly.

You also start with diff skills buffed a little depending on your race.

For the most part the level system ensures that how you play has the most weight on how you turn out though.

I think it all comes down to however you want to look. I'm sure conversations will be slightly different depending race, which is cool for replay value.

Otherwise, I've used Nord's "Battle Cry" I think a grand total of once, and that was to test it.

[Maguspk]

I just realized there's no acrobatics. Jumping Khajit characters used to be the shit...

[Siralin]

Was there a mod for oblivion that made night time/inside caves actually dark? I'm talking like STALKER complete mod darkness where without your light you can't for shit unless you're in the middle of an open field. I realize with a lot of snow and no "city lights" natural light is fairly bright when the moon is out...but idk, I like the idea of needing to use torches at night or sacrificing visibility.

Also, wtf at candles and torches always being lit in dragr inhabited caves deep where no one has been in years? Everything doesnt need to be perfectly realistic for me but come on.

for the most part i just take it over the past few weeks with the dragons been revived people have run into caves and slowly been skeleton prey

PS - I can confirm that you STILL GET PERKS after level 50.

[Greatguardian]

Yeah i thought the khajit racial would be pretty good, most times i just use it to find my horse after a night time battle and hes run away. it does at help for sure, dont really have the problem mioko has with it, yeah it does blue the edges of the screen slightly when you use it, but that didn't matter to me in the dead of night and my horse has just vanished.

also - did i read something earlier in this thread about a horse as a quest reward for the dark brotherhood quests? do i start those in riften?

also, anyone using the razor1911 version, how the fuck do you take screenshots in game. printscreen doesn't work because its steamworks and uses the steam screenshot function(f11) but obviously since its not running through steam that doesn't work either.

Re: Dark Brotherhood

Spoiler: show

Windhelm, on the East side of town. You'll overhear a conversation about some kid trying to summon the Dark Brotherhood, then your journal will update telling you to talk to him. Do that, complete his quest, and then you'll be taken by the Dark Brotherhood the next time you sleep in a bed.

beat the game is there anything worthwhile in the end area?

I donno why i'm still playing tbh =/ everything is pretty easy, my char is pretty overpowered (even on master)

Only going back to Blackreach has been really worthwhile after having beating the game. I'm hoping there is DLC soon ;O



btw - is there a wizard in solitude that sells gems/has an enchanting table?

Hmm, so is there a character level cap of 100? I remember someone said there's a total of 87 or so perks in the game... and if you can buy them all, you should theoretically be able to max out a character in all skills... right?

[Greatguardian]

The house in Solitude has an Enchanting Table and an Alchemy lab when you buy the furnishings.

[Priran]

Racial abilities, minus the mostly-useless active skills:

-Altmer start with 150 magicka
-Argonians have a 50% resistance to disease and can breathe underwater
-Bretons take 25% less damage from any magic
-Bosmer have 50% resistances to poison and disease
-Dunmer take 50% less damage from fire
-Imperials find more gold in chests
-Khajiit deal 15 damage with their punches (compared to something like 4 for everyone else)
-Orcs don't have a passive. Their active is pretty good though (deal double and take half damage for a minute)
-Nords take 50% less damage from ice
-Redguards have a 50% resistance to poison

[miokomioko]

Breathing underwater can be had with a Dragon Priest mask, I forget which one though. Is there even anything useful found that requires being underwater for prolonged amounts of time? I've been through a dungeon or two that requires pretty long swims through a tunnel or two, but nothing a non-Argonian can't handle.

I always forget about the bonus claw damage for Khajiit... I'm wondering how useful that could be paired with the Fists of the Pugilist gloves. Do bare hands have a sneak-attack kill animation? Strangling or neck-break would be pretty gnar.

Wanted to know if I missed anything in Vallhalla, I didn't fully explore the hall thinking I could go back in after I beat the game. Is there any reason why I should have explored further?

There is 251 perks in the game so it is not possible to get them all since the highest level you can that is possible to get to if you take every skill in the game to 100 has been mentioned by bethesda to be in the 70s

[miokomioko]

Ah, boo. So, assuming you get 70-something perk points... How many trees could that potentially cap out? Sounds like 5 or so since they seem to fluctuate between 10~16 each or something. Not to mention I can't imagine bothering to entirely buy out some of them like Sneak as the top end of that tree doesn't really appeal to me at all.

I was hoping that I would eventually have a reason to use a pair of daggers and make use of the one-handed tree. Something besides a bow for once. Don't get me wrong, putting arrows on people's foreheads and eyes is definitely fun (and somewhat overpowered)... I am just wishing I had something more useful/fun for close-combat as relying on Slow-Time shout and the aiming slow-down trait to stay alive when something charges at me is getting a little bit old.

[Kuishen]

Isn't that one of the bitches from like 16 and Pregnant or one of those stupid reality TV shows? I only know cause my sister used to watch that godawful filth and I would pass by it in the living room every now and then.

SO what is everyones trick to killing the random dragons that appear? If I can get them to land I can usually deal with them, but its when they stay in the air that I can't seem to do anything (bow doesn't deal enough to tkae them out in a reasonable amount of time)

[RPGTyrant]

On the topic of racial active abilities, I can't speak for the others but I've found the Argonian HP regen ability has been my savior for quite a few situations. I throw that on, run in and I can usually regen just about as fast as I take damage, whether it be running into a large group or some mages. I dual wield with heavy armor, so it's a nice room clearing ability.

Usually I conjure up a flame atronach, keep a good damage bow and arrows from a dungeon on me, and give my companion a bow. Between the 3 of us we can usually get it down low enough in a reasonable span of time (few minutes max) that it lands and I can dice it up.

Dragons seem to like landing on top of houses and breathing all over the place so I just run away from town a bit, dragon usually follows and touches down. I've killed like 8 now and only one gave me issues with staying in the air.

(and lydia is usually shooting arrows at them.)
