re: Official Skyrim Ultrathread.

What is wrong with the keyboard on the Bethesda.net login? It bugs out when I try to switch to capital letters.

Went one handed melee last night. 2 handed just takes too many hits. How do you cast spells? I want to try magic.

You equip spells to L or R hand just like a weapon, and can use both spells and weapons in combat. For some spells, there are special features if you use both hands to cast the same spell at the same time. The initial destruction spells are kinda like flamethrowers. Later on, you can learn fireball type spells.

You learn spells from reading books that you buy or find in dungeons. Unlike previous games, you cannot make custom spells.

Nope I don't think so

As far as effectiveness, being a hunter/rogue/bowman is the best way to go. Bows are awesome and the late game skills for assassination with daggers are ridiculously op.

I always think I'll play it differently, but I always revert back to this.

You'll never change.

I find myself going for towards the 1 handed melee character. I do like the shield bash.

I tried to make a mage character, but he was awful in combat. I downloaded a race mod and made a Chiss 2H fighter character who wrecks face.

My first character was mainly one hand/magic but really did a little of everything. Since then, I've played a Breton mage, who was awesome once he got the perk that gives destruction spells knockback. Summoning two dremoras and pelting enemies with spells was great. I also played a Bosmer archer, but that was far too easy.

For the special edition, I'm playing an Imperial knight, with mace, shield and heavy armor. He also uses restoration and alchemy, but I'm trying to limit the use of any other school.
