The Yahtzee review is in.....

He despised Oblivion but I think all the shooters have changed his tune slightly on Open Ended games.

I can't remember a non mmo that has kept me playing for almost a month straight with out either beating it or getting bored. This game was worth every penny.

So the imaginary level cap is 80. Do you keep getting perks as you progress to level 80?

Nope.

It is 81 and yes you get perks all the way up BUT.... leveling starts to get MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH slower the higher you go.

To get to 81 ALL skills must be 100.

You keep getting perks every level. If all your skills are at 100 you would be level 81.

Ooh 81 a bonus level. Yeah I just started to play with magic with my 2 handed wearing Orc and I'm at 43 and sad that I was running out of perks. Looks like I'll be in luck and be able to max out conjuration and destruction after all.

It will take a million years to get to 81.

The HUGE BIG Power Leveling mistake I made was not using trainers. You should make sure you use 5 levels of training per character level in skills you hate to use. Had I done that for 56 levels I would have an additional 280 skill levels completed at this point.

You don't need to do this unless you are a super completionist freak power leveler.....like me.

I am at lv 58, but I am going to start a toon and head to the lovers stone, make sure I spend my 5 skill ups each level and see what happens.

Since I have done most of what I want in the game I am also about to start a toon and use the console to pimp myself out and KILL everyone one in Skyrim that I can, the save game system still sucks and I can't believe they stuck with it.

Chances are you are better equipped to make it to 81 than most people if you leveled more evenly.

Restoring the thieves guild to glory was a bit of a pain in the butt. They should have done a much better job explaining the dynamic of how it worked and keeping a running tab.

You need to do 5 tasks for each major hold (Whiterun, Windhelm,Solitude and Markath) and get 4 Major tasks. You get a major task after completing 5 tasks in a city. It doesn't hurt to cancel tasks so once you finish a city you can cancel tasks until you get one in a city you haven't completed.

Each Major task completed gives 1k more gold to a fence. So after all 4 tasks, the fences have 4k gold but at this point I don't need gold.

I liked the Thieves Guild Quests but not the tasks.

Well, you probably didn't waste any perks. I have several I wish I had back to put somewhere else.

I leveled PRETTY evenly for most things except magic. I think my restoration and destruction are both mid 80s but the others are 20-30 range.

DB is much better, with the TG I must've spent ten minutes just canceling quests till I got one for Markarth. Seriously how many times must I steal the ornate drinking horn from the gray-manes in Whiterun. I already did the give jobs there and the special assigbment for WR. We have a presence there so shouldn't you be giving me quests in the other holds?

Anyone else have way more frost dragon spawns than fire dragons? I probably have at least 5-10x more frost dragons, is it supposed to be that way?
