[QUOTE=_Maverick_;47304904]From that angle he looks fat[/QUOTE] Something about it looks off. Looks like a fat cat wielding a butter knife.

No, this is fat [t]https://40.media.tumblr.com/17b71f034cafcfb6ff1a43a771e45e10/tumblr_nkyr8dWD4w1sjv3vdo3_1280.jpg[/t]

how did you get a screenshot of my game [editline]11th March 2015[/editline] i erp regularly as a fat argonian with a massive dog penis do not judge

I've done it for the first time ever! I have beaten the Dragonborn DLC! Solstheim is saved! and I have all Seven of the Black Books, and Three out of the Four Dragon Preist masks!

There's something I really like about him, he has a nice voice or I respect people who fight with pickaxes or something. May or may not have said this before, but Solstheim followers are best followers.

Is it even worth it to make a skill legendary. It just seems like a good way to fuck over your combat as far as i can tell.

[QUOTE=For No Reason;47309128]Is it even worth it to make a skill legendary. It just seems like a good way to fuck over your combat as far as i can tell.[/QUOTE] When you reach max level it's good to sacrifice some skills to make room for higher stats. Doesn't always have to be combat but you'll likely spend more time in combat so it'll raise quicker.

[QUOTE=For No Reason;47309128]Is it even worth it to make a skill legendary. It just seems like a good way to fuck over your combat as far as i can tell.[/QUOTE] Some skills like blacksmithing and pickpocket are really trivial to raise.

[QUOTE=For No Reason;47309128]Is it even worth it to make a skill legendary. It just seems like a good way to fuck over your combat as far as i can tell.[/QUOTE] It's mainly for if you want to level up more, so you can gain more perks/health/magick/stamina.

It also makes super leveling via the fortification loop a thing. You can loop your fortify alchemy enchants up enough that making one potion will max the skill to 100, then you Legendary and do it again until you're level like 300 something which is when you have enough points to get every perk. :^)

[QUOTE=For No Reason;47309128]Is it even worth it to make a skill legendary. It just seems like a good way to fuck over your combat as far as i can tell.[/QUOTE] It doesn't take that long to level it up again. Plus it makes it so much easier to level up. Just keep an extra combat skill at 100 if you're really that worried.

Jesus Christ.

What are some fast ways to train 1H and Blocking? Right now, I'm just blocking against two Draugr and it levels me up somewhat alright, but it's exponentially slowing down. And my 1H skill is just a pain in the ass to level up, because it's so low I barely do any damage and I feel like putting skill points into that tree is a waste, since I'm primarily a 2H Orc Warrior of Doom. But the shield / 1H combo is good for boss battles.

Seriously, the amount of xp you get is based on the damage you deal(1H) and take(Block) Or go fight a giant and block his attacks. And then use potion and enchantment exploits to buff one handed damage and then attack stuff.

do buffs like fortify one-handed factor into how much xp is granted?

[QUOTE=For No Reason;47310619]do buffs like fortify one-handed factor into how much xp is granted?[/QUOTE] Yes [url]http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Leveling[/url] Go to the table, look over to One Handed

[QUOTE=Agent 47;47310509]Wait, you can legendary a skill by just fortifying it to 100? Jesus Christ.[/QUOTE] Nah. You use the fortification loop to make it so that when you make a potion, your alchemy skill is automatically leveled to 100, then you legendary it and make another potion to do it again. The loop works by making fortify alchemy gear, then using the gear to make fortify restoration potions, then using the potions to boost the foritify alchemy enchantments and making more potions and so forth until eventually you make super potions with effects that last literally years and cost 9999999999 gold, which will level alchemy from 15 to 100 instantly.

Those fucking buzzkillers.

[QUOTE=lavacano;47311383]999 Alchemy Take down Alduin with one poisoned arrow.[/QUOTE] It's definitely possible. When I was doing the loop a while back I made a potion that made me invisible for a 7 years. And that's real life, not 7 in game years, but like 60,000 actual hours.

quick question about how this game handles textures I have everything set to very high, and even with 2k textures it looks like .5k textures or something, is there anything I could do to fix this? [QUOTE=lavacano;47311383]999 Alchemy Take down Alduin with one poisoned arrow.[/QUOTE] you could do that with 50 alchemy

I've had it before where the texture setting put itself lower than that before. What texture mod are you using?

[QUOTE=Daemon White;47311516]For the texture mods to fully work, you need to have textures on High. I've had it before where the texture setting put itself lower than that before.

Did I just complete Skyrim? I killed Alduin, and teleported to the Throat of the World (it made me so sad seeing Parthunaxes cold, dead corpse) and had that dragon we trapped say I can call on him whenever I want and then... that was it? Is this actually the ending, or is there more to the main Alduin questline?

There's a mod that makes the Alduin fight not shit (made by Pastaspace/Trainwiz) but I haven't actually gotten around to that point in the MQ in a long time so I can't tell you how good it really is
