ScrewyAurum Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I use the combo of combat + magic -> One handed + heavy armor + restoration + destruction. Easy to tackle almost all kind of foes. Also, there's no concept of choosing a particular class in skyrim. Whatever skills you use, it just improves. For ex, even with my above combo, when I sneak in on enemies, my stealth skill increases, or when I trade more, my speech skill increase. Its only choosing the perks that matters on how your character turns out. So I choose the perks mostly in the above categories. I went for all out warrior and I can dominate any situation right now, maxed out Two-Handed, Archery, Heavy Armor, Smithing, Lock-Picking and Sneak using a bow is awesome also it can help level up both archery and sneak.

Big Boss Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I am playing the game sames as Neo. I really dont think ignoring magic in skyrim can be fun. The variety of magic makes the gameplay very interesting. I have almost maxed out One handed (level 85 something), heavy armor past 80 and destruction past 60 I think. The one handed already does twice the damage and heavy armor offers 100% more protection. I am unstoppable in close quarters. So I try to kill enemies from a distance using Magic as they are not much challenge to me up close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrewyAurum Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 how many levels did it take to max out ? On lvl 48 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrewyAurum Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Leveling up smithing is damn fun, I just go to dwemer ruin with a companion stock up on scraps melt them down to ingots make bow from them and sell it, lvled up smithing and bit of two handed sneak lock picking and archery that way.

sup bro? Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I'm on my second playthrough - playing with a companion. I love the way Lydia says, "Hey look! A cave! I wonder what's inside?", every time I exit a cave with her. Nothing Lydia. The answer is nothing. We killed all the things. Goddamn Bethesda AI. Edited January 10, 2012 by sup bro?

hellraiserpop Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) All mods except Lightning face are from skyrimnexus.com. I'll give the names you search for them. Main graphic mods: SkyrimHD 2k texture pack Enhanced Night Realistic Water Textures and the most important: ENB HD6 Lighting enhancement. Content mods: SkyUI (proper UI for pc version) Weapons of the Third Era (includes kickass katanas along with beautiful sayas, seen in last 2 pics) Triss armor retextured (Yup. Triss' armor from Witcher 2) As for Lightning face mod, its not available in nexus since Squeenix hasn't given permission yet (CDP gave for Triss armor): http://www.mediafire.com/?c84r6ddqt8qd26o @above If your aim is to get the highest damage per second, simply get the perks in Smithing, Enchanting, Alchemy, and a weapon tree of your choice. Dual wield recommended. Bonuses from all these stack, so you can craft a ridiculous weapon (made even more ridiculous if you consume some ridiculous alchemy potions before crafting) with ridiculous base damage. Then enchant it with ridiculous effects. Same for armors. People have breached 5k dps with these. found a link describing it: http://elossia.blogspot.com/2011/12/ultimate-weapons-and-armor-in-skyrim.html Edited January 10, 2012 by hellraiserpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 ^^ are they all verified to be stable ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellraiserpop Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well i haven't had any problems so far. No CTDs or anything. The only "problem" was enabling AA dumps my fps to 1 or 2. But that's a common problem when SSAO is also on(that ENB mod does that). Disabled AA, enabled FXAA instead, and everything has been fine so far.

hellraiserpop Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Considering my pc is 3 years old, it runs remarkably well. Only occasional stutters that I can live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zod Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wait FXAA is better than AA ? ...FXAA = no jaggies plus better performance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellraiserpop Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) My specs: 2.8GHz triple core AMD 4gb ddr2 ATi HD4870 1gb ddr5 I play at 1024/768 resolution, since I'm still stuck with a 17" crt FXAA is much more efficient than normal AA, but it results in quite a bit of blurring. AA causes no blurring, but very hardware intensive. The problem here isn't that my system can't handle AA, rather AA and SSAO cause weird problems when they run together on this engine, but FXAA plays nice with SSAO. I'll try to make a video... you can judge for yourselves if it's worth it. IMO it's completely worth it.
