Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I use Dual Firebolt for the most part. That, along with Impact, will keep a Dragon stunned for pretty much as long as your mana lasts. Impact is pretty overpowered tbh.

How did you manage that? Is it a special perk in the stealth tree?

Kiith

If you do a power attack from behind while hidden, it will occasionally give you an execute animation. Looks pretty cool.

"Power Attacks"?

(I've been a die-hard archer since day 1, indulge me)

Really enjoying this game. Tend to switch between using magic and stealthily killing people with a bow, it's a lot better than Oblivion where I pretty much bashed people to death with swords the whole time.

Yes, it is the same as that in Oblivion.
It is used to refill magical items.

It can also be used to make items. I don't get why people struggle with Azura's Star. It functions exactly like any other grand soul gem except instead of being destroyed when used it just empties and can be used again.

Also, to clarify for people asking about spells: The spells that merchants sell are dictated by your level of skill in that school. It is stupid and counter intuitive but there you go. If spells aren't available then practice with that school more.

Paralyse is up there too as being OP. It also goes well with Wall of Flames too, just drop it right beneath whomever you've Paralysed and watch their health tick down.

Any time I'm feeling sadistic, I'll chain paralyse my companion, simply because it's fun to watch them turn as stiff as a board and go tumbling down hills.

If your looking for Iron Ore there is plenty at the Halted Stream Camp just north of Whiterun remember to being your pickaxe

Nice!

Right, can someone tell me what I'm to do with all the stuff that I get once I slay a dragon. i.e the scales etc. I only recently found out that I had to unlock the shouts manually with the dragon souls that I had gotten.

I assume that the scales etc can be made into armour??? where do I do that?

You need 100 Smithing and the relevant perk.

Sgt Hartman

That Mage mercenary in Riften is class, definately worth investing 500 gold coins in. He's saved my ass more than once in the dungeons, especially the Nord dungeon in the eastern mountains which has the mad necromancer widow who brought the bodies of her husband and his lover back to life. I got a nice looking but fairly weak Ghost Sword for my efforts in that dungeon:(

straight after that! Bastards.

Spent an hour trying to get past two of the f*ckers last night, finally made it through by luring them back to a section of the dungeon I could seal off then blasted them with piss fireballs.

On my way to the Mage college for the first time, the landscape on the way there is gorgeous, its like Frozen Planet on BBC1!

Was doing the same, looks awesome. Being molested by snow bears every time I turn around, not so awesome.

Anyone know if there's a short range teleportation spell? I was fighting someone last night that could jump around the room at random and it seemed like he was casting a spell.

You need to develop your Smithing skill buy Iron Ignots from the vendor in Whiterun(the shop beside the smelter), any leather you find make into leather strips then craft as many Iron Daggers as you can this will boost your smithing skill really fast. Repeat over and over until your Smithing skill is maxed out, ransack mines for Iron Ore or wait 48 hours in Whiterun and the vendor will have replenished his stock. The dragon bones or scales are used to create Dragon Armor but it must be unlocked in your skill tree.

i think if you join the mages guild, you get a chest in your room there where you can store stuff

or ye could just buy a gaff in whiterun for 5000 the other cities cost more to set up a house.

One of my highlights of this game, decapitating your foe and watching his head roll muhahahaha

Spunge

How many dragon scales do you need to make a full set of dragon scale armour ?

id like a mod that removes the murkiness when you're underwater

i've found a few locations where the game bugs out and all you see around you is crystal clear water, so you can see for miles underwater.. it looks amazing
