So I have committed some terrible crimes in Morthal and the imperial guards are in hot pursuit. I went inside Fort Snowhawk and killed a few mages but then a Legatis follows me inside to arrest me. I told him to frick off and I started to fight him but the fricker was invincible. I would literally hit him with 10 ice spikes and he would fall on the ground dead, but then I couldn't search his body and when I went in another room and came back, he is alive again and tries to arrest me.

Is this a glitch?

You can't kill certain quest NPCs.

Do % stat bonuses stack?

in other words, if i wore a ring with +30% health regen and a necklace with +20% health regen, is my health being regenerated at a +50% clip?

what about with standard point boosts like +25 and +15 magicka points?

Best I can tell, everything stacks; which is why you can make such game breaking armor and weapons.

I decided not to mess with alchemy because of the stacking. Didn't want the game to become too easy.

That is a good idea. I single-enchanted some of my armor and I ended up having a challenge all the way through the game.

Melee loses the challenge fast if you use smith and enchant.

A mage gets his arse handed to him. That is until you dump the robes and slide into some nice protection. I went with a smith 100 glass set.

Now that my Light Armor skill is moving up, I no longer get one hit by archers and my fireballs are killing most enemies before they can touch me.

I haven't done much of the story with the Mage. Just the Mage guild and I've been doing all the Whisper Of A Word quests to get all the shouts.

The problem with mage is that your kiting ability is severely limited. Most of the time, your damage mitigation consists of hauling arse backwards through a narrow passage.

Being a mage seems like a lot of work. It seems like you'd have to conjure armor almost every somewhat challenging battle.

Everything I've got on is single enchantment and the game isn't challenging anymore. I'm not in front of it atm, but I've got single enchantment dragon armor that is basically indestructo, and my glass bow does over 250 damage. I'm thinking of using a one handed weapon now to mix it up.

If you want a challenge you need to stick with PURE MAGE which means no armor other than robes. Otherwise the game isn't hard enough even on master.

I think now that my destruction is over 90, I'm just about at beast mode with my glass armor.

I'm not on master though. I'll probably crank the difficulty to master which might make a difference until my Light Armor is raised up but once that hits the 90s, I will be a beast.

The only thing I don't like about mage is from what I have read, Master level spells blow. They take too long to cast and don't do as much damage as the level below them.

So fireball is top of the line. Not a problem because I can wipe out hoards of enemies now with ease.

I just finished getting all the Shout Quests so I am going to do the guilds and then finally finish the Main Plot.

End times are coming. I got two solid months of game play. Almost 300 hours in my 3 toons.

Well worth my cash money.

No shite.

I'm at about 150 hours played, and am already scheming what I'm going to do differently with my next character. On a pure dollar per hour basis, this is probably the best $60 I've ever spent.

I just started my second character tonight. I just got to where I'm hunting down alduin with my first character (warrior mage) and decided to get another guy going for the heck of it.

Went with an assassin this time and have been working on the Dark Brotherhood story line. Its crazy how much differently the game plays and the quest so far are different. Being able to assassinate enemies left and right is a ton of fun.

Just maxed out smithing today. going to go test out my new dragonscale armor. I'm thinking about finishing the main quest. Do dragons still appear after you finish the main quest?
