I know the female orc armorer is Markath (I think that is it) has about 1600 gold normally.

Also, daggers are the shite. I dual wield daggers and with the dark brotherhood gloves on, a sneak attack does 30x normal damage.

If i get a successful attack, not much can withstand it.

Next character may be the complete opposite. I might pick an orc 2 hand warrior or something. Need to work a mage in there eventually too though.

Has no realized the pure joy of the 2-Hand Hammer Kill cinematic? It's outstanding and I never get tired of it.


I have. I've been playing as a mostly two-handed hammer warrior in heavy plate. I got my smithing up like crazy and forged a set of Dwarven armor + Warhammer, and enemies barely touched me. I've since forged a Deadric Warhammer and an ebony plate set, and pretty much only magic touches me and most enemies die to a swing or two of my hammer.

And that animation is awesome. Have you gotten the two handed decapitation perk? It's a really cool cinematic with the hammer.

I used the warhammer first. Switched over to the greatsword. Have you seen the greatsword impale kill cinematic? I've made tons of mages my bitch with that in one hit.

The one I'm playing now is a Nord, and I joined the Stormcloacks. I'll probably make an Imperial battle mage next, then a Thief. I don't think I can go full glass cannon after the wonders of heavy armor though.

so is this game safe to buy on PC yet? i have read about a shite ton load of bugs for the pc version at release.
Have they patched them for the most part? the last PC game i bought at release was Civ V and it was so broken on day one that it really ruined it for me.

No. There was a patch available on day 1 but that didn't fix any of the problems. Just keep an eye on the beth forum to see when they release new patches and what they fix.

Xbox works fine although it did just lock up on me.

You only need to buy the PC version if you plan to use mods and spend about 300 hours playing the game.

I got it for the box, I will be buying it for the PC once the price comes down. Seemed like the right thing to do, nice and relaxing playing through it the first time feet propped up on the couch like a boss.

ETA:

Question about buying a house

If I purchase a house do you get the option to add alchemy table or other crafting stations or is it just good for dumping excess inventory?

The only one I purchased in Whiterun let me buy an alchemy table. I'm sure the bigger more expensive ones allow you to add other things.

First house has option for Alchemy lab. I would assume higher level homes have the full set up.

Nice touch on the alchemy lab is an alchemy pouch to store all ingredients and potions.

Thanks

I am pretty green on the Elder Scrolls games and thought maybe they followed the Fallout model on this

Good to know

I would be happy with alchemy table and cooking fire although an enchantment board would be nice.

Wish I had the board in my whiterun house. It is a pain running all the way up to the keep.

I'm level 20 finished the main quest, companion quest, most of the way through the thieves guild quest line, and killed about 15 dragons. I have not gotten stuck or crashed nor have I seen any game breaking bugs or bug that make the game any less fun. Just my opinion.

Can i just leave stuff laying on my floor in my house and it won't go away? Or does it have to be stored somewhere?

For the person unsure of the total content, just getting the Shouts is about 60 quests (20 shouts X 3 words) although not quite because some people give you shouts.

Each shout has 3 words of power so that means roughly 60 Walls you need to visit. Just doing that alone would be about 30 to 60 hours.

I unlocked something doing the 1st graybeard quest. Definitely more dragon activity.

So you need to kill 72 freaking dragons.
