On another note, is there a way that I could use ENB only for the high detail shadows, while leaving everything else vanilla? I absolutely sad how much better the ENB shadow rendering is than skyrim's default, but I'd rather pl;ay with everything else normal.[/QUOTE]
Use SkyRealism's Vanilla Preset. You'd have to update it yourself for ENB 0.155, but it's essentially the same either way. Just disable all effects except for the shadows.
I just realised that daedric armor is better than dragonbone armor in terms of armor rating.

Which is strange considering you need a higher level to craft it, don't you?
what's the comparison between glass and dragonscale?

Which is why I use [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=87560477]this mod[/url].
Isn't Daedric stuff the best thing you can have according to the lore?

I'm always a massive burly Nord or a massive burly Orc.
It's easier to fuck shit up that way.

I usually play female for stealth characters. I've got mods to make the character creation like Morrowinds, so it actually makes a difference.

Go around all the cities pick-pocketing everyone. Go to the master trainer in the Thieves Guild, train, pickpocket him, and repeat. If you don't have ready access to the TG, then go to Windhelm and talk to the beggar lady for training.

I generally play as a male if I'm playing a warrior type character and female if I'm playing a thief/archer type character. My reasoning being that I'd like to actually look capable of swinging that fuckhuge greatsword otherwise it looks kind of stupid, my suspension of disbelief is very fickle. Plus females generally look better in light armour and males in heavy imo, and you run into 'oh we moulded this breastplate specifically to fit your character's tits' stuff less which is nice.
I probably have a closet 'ooh let's play dress up and make you look as pretty as possible, oh yes we will' thing going on somewhere subconsciously but it's more an 'I want my character to fit an aesthetic choice I've made' rather than 'how much skin can I show while my character's still technically not nude' a la le nexus.

Oh and with mages, it's generally biased slightly towards males but I have no problem playing a female in that role

pretty much this
warriors (heavy armour, heavy weapons/sword and shield: male
barabrian (light armour heavy weapons: male
archer: female
theif: female
mage: female
battlemage: male
and i'll be the first to admit, i like playing dress up with my character
i always make sure to carry additional clothes while adventuring for when i return to the towns and switch into casual wear
[QUOTE=Lium;39994375]Also, am I the only guy who's comfortable in my own gender? Seems like every man and his father plays a woman for some inexplicable reason.[/QUOTE]
I play as a woman whenever I get the opportunity to pick.
I'm not sure on all of my reasoning, but a good part of it is if I don't get to pick then the game sticks me with a male protagonist, and for some reason I want it a bit more even.
I'm also pretty sure it's not a gender security issue thing - I'm about as proud to be a dude as I can get without being all "male über alles" about it.
I just don't see the point of playing a woman. I'm a guy, I play as a guy. You might think it's sexist, but I don't see women capable of gutting a dragon with a fucking great 2-handed sword.
I just don't understand the reasoning behind it. If you want to look at women, there's games for that kinda shit. This is an RPG game where you slaughter millions of people/animals, not some sort of Sims dress-up. It confuses and irritates me, the fact that if you go to the Nexus/Skyrim steam page and look at the screenshots all you see are fucking pictures of female characters who are guaranteed to have been taken by men, cause women just aren't that weird.
Why? I may never know.
it seems like you're mixing up people playing as a female with people on the nexus
The ebony warrior is an unfair piece of shit who uses paralysis bullshit and unrelenting force.

i do think it's sexist, it is. the physique of the dragonborn isn't what gives the dragonborn strength, it's being the dragonborn. i mean how many people on the regular do you see that are capable of gutting a dragon, male or female?
i bring sexism into this because it's related. you're saying that if a player wants to look at a female character, that character ought to be in the sims and/or dress-up games and not an RPG. an RPG is built and named on the premise that your character can be whatever you want; you role-play. and how much you role play is up to you.
personally, i went for a female character because i was bored of male PCs as i always tried to make them look like me. i'll probably roll random the next few RPGs i play, now that i've broken the mold
I killed the ebony warrior.
[sp]By I, I mean Karstaag, Durnehviir, a Storm Thrall, an Ancient Dragonborn, and a werebear[/sp]
[editline]21st March 2013[/editline]
Ebony warrior must have some sort of damage reflection. If I hit him with a power attack he dies.
I killed him "fairly" this time. I drained his armor using mark for death, and he died in about 6 hits. This was on master difficulty.

Now do Legendary

Or, you know, it doesn't have to involve gutting a dragon in the first place, dragonborn or no dragonborn.
I made a female bosmer for my stealth build and there's no gutting involved at all. You just poison the shit out of the dragon with a hail of arrows. That's the entire point of RPG's anyway, if the absolute only way to kill a dragon is to be Viking McBadass and go kill it with a claymore then there's clearly something wrong with the game formula.
The only two characters I've had that have withstood the test of [del]time[/del] boredom are my male orc warrior and female bosmer stealth, probably because the characters are polar opposites and let me play the game in different ways. Playing pure stealth with a male character just doesn't seem as tangible for me.

Sounds like someone has never heard of shield maidens.
Women can be just as good fighters as men, and there have been plenty of female warriors throughout history, including [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_warfare_and_the_military_in_the_medieval_era"]the medieval era[/URL].

not everyone plays two handed warrior though, and even then it's perfectly possible to make a believable looking female character
there are also a bunch of mods on the nexus that help with this, there's some really good female amours that actually look substantial

I see non-dragon born characters doing that all the time. The very first time I played the game Irileth did a finishing move on the dragon that attacks the watchtower for me.
I'm on 1.9.32.0 now, how do I set the difficulty to Legendary
