Skyrim

[Shradow]

I always started unarmed from the beginning.

[WhyDidIJoinThis-.-]

I may have to give it a try one day. I'm starting to tire of my destruction mage. Melee is just so much more fun.

EDIT: Also, what happens if you don't wear armour? In regards to levelling, skills etc, doesn't it go over to light armour?

[Shradow]

I dunno. If you have no armor whatsoever, I assume you wouldn't level up any armor types.

 

This is probably my favorite Skryim mod:

I think I'll set up a ninja dagger wielding something... not sure what race yet. Definitely doin an orc for my heavy.

Oh my god, that's amazing XD

 

And Thor, dem ninjaz always awesome.

But I dunno atm whether or not to start an unarmed game, or...? I have a feeling I'll need to do a shit ton of heavy armour training. Also, would I need assistance of restoration? Unarmed + ward/heal? Or maybe Alteration.

Recap: [spoiler=I need]

Race: (Khajiit or Orc?(already played khajiit, might go orc, seeing as they have that awesome power))

Support Magic?: (I'm thinking either Alteration or Restoration, wanna try not to use both. And whys?)

Anything else?: [/spoiler]

^ Just for halp, please ^-^

 

EDIT: did some research, Khajiit and Argonians, they seem to have a much higher base damage rate than the other races, and Khajiit in particular seem the choice for me. They're my two favourite races, and I would pick Argonian, but meh, Khajiit seems more suited(lie). So I'm thinking maybe using a shield also, and maybe doing sneak unarmed. Like, sneak behind peeps and snap their necks, or something. I may not even need support magic, maybe might even go with illusion, would be interesting, unarmed illusionist Khajiit. Maybe. I need opinions :P

[Shradow]

I always pick Nord because it's the only right way to be Skolldir, the f***ing badass viking.

[WhyDidIJoinThis-.-]

Never picked a nord :l I should one day.

--But on topic of Hevno Haal (possible name for new character, means brutal hand, has alliteration, doesn't sound totally shit.) but anyway, I'm gonna go [spoiler=with]

Subject to change(*)

Name: Hevno Haal*

Race: Khajiit

Armour: Heavy

Weapon: N/a(lol)

Other: Sneak, (illusion/alteration/restoration)*, enchanting, smithing,

IN PROGRESS helpgreatlyappreciated[/spoiler]

I played this game for a while. I was not impressed,it got boring real fast. It's like playing an MMORPG where you're the only player. Also my copy came with a nice little glitch where it would stop saving my game after a certain point so there was really no pupose in playing it for me anymore.

Aw :c What did you have it on?

[Admiral Tim]

Sounds awesome :D My first 2 character's names were kinda in dragon tongue. My first, an Argonian heavy/2h user, was called "Dovah Rex" a mix of, dragon, and rex- the latin for king. My second, was a sneak Khajiit, "Nonvul Zii" meaning Noble Shadow in dragontongue (I think, source: ). I have no idea what my current character is called (destruction dark-elf).

 

I started a game as an argonian but the motherboard on my PS3 got blown so I had to buy a new PS3 and had all the game datat erased form the old one.  

[WhyDidIJoinThis-.-]

Sounds like Skyrim kinda Jinxes consoles XD

[thanonyx]

Aw :c What did you have it on?

PS3 60GB model

PS3 60GB model

Ah I heard Skyrim was pretty messed up on PS3 anyway, full of bugs and shiz. Hell I think one of the DLCs came out a year late or something o.O

When I play Skyrim, there are always two exploits I always use (I don't know if they work for console, I play PC).

 

One, you know how it's super annoying when you have a lot to sell but the stores have no gold left, so what I do is sell all that I can. Then I save, attack/kill the shopkeeper, then reload that save, and they have their gold (and items, if you want to buy more stuff) restocked. It's incredibly useful, because otherwise I'd just wait the 48 hours or whatever for them to restock normally, so it's really only a time saver in the end. Also, when I'm doing this, it's funny because sometimes the shopkeep will say something like, "Shout at me if you need anything.", which I then proceed to use a Thu'um on them before I reload. Also, something else they say is, "I'll get you the best deals, or die trying." and I'm like, "I think that can be arranged."

 

The other exploit deals with anyone you can get as a follower that also trains a skill. For my example, I'll use Farkas. After you beat the Companion questline, he and the others Companions can become your followers. So I have Farkas follow me, I spend a ton of gold to train my heavy armor skill, then I trade items with him and take the gold back out of his inventory so I get 5 free skills per level. You can do this with Vilkas for two-handed, Aela for archery, etc.

 

Obviously the latter is a bit more cheaty than the former, but while I will never hack, if there's a glitch to exploit, I will do it. Like how I get Mews in Pokemon Yellow or stuff like that. I'll also use console commands, but only if the game bugs out on me or something (for instance, like the problems with the Return to Grace quest).

You are a life saver XD Will be trying out the former, and maybe the latter.

I've finally finalized my equipment on my unarmed viking, and I'm pleased. It took getting my smithing, enchanting, and alchemy all to 100, as well as doing a lot of work to make the best possible Fortify Alchemy, Enchanting, and Smithing equipment/potions.

Took me ages to load that for some reason :l But daamn, that looks pretty awesome, could you give any advice on levelling up enchanting and alchemy, and also some decent ways to make money? Any decent videos/guides I wouldn't mind.

 

My character is going to be a shield assasin. Well, the main skills will be Heavy Armour, Block and Sneak. It's a shame there aren't any kill cams for shield+unarmed, I haven't seen any in game yet :l But the unarmed kill cams are just the best things ever XD

[ZeRainbowDash]

I would use a Khajiit or an Orc for the unarmed guy. Orc for the double damage and Khajiit because it gets bonus damage without weapons. 

My Orc is going to run battle axes. And heavy armor. The Highelf I am making now is a One Handed and Destruction. Unfortunately the damn magic killcams are disappointing

[WhyDidIJoinThis-.-]

I'm already in a Khajiit unarmed, and they have better base damage AS WELL AS the other base damage. And the khajiit claws only work without gaunts I think. Orc power would be kinda useless. And yeah, magic killcams terrible, fire one- meh, ice- meh, lightning- :D

For leveling up alchemy, use giant's toes and wheat to make fortify health potions. For enchanting and smithing, just make and enchant lots of iron daggers. As for money, just go through a lot of dungeons and sell your loot. Also, the fortify health potions I mentioned earlier are worth lots.

 

As for getting even better alchemy and enchanting for making equipment:
