unique weapons or just the standard types?? Would love to make a decent one hand blade, though my current legendary ebony does it nicely

game looks pretty awesome maxed out 100% on my pc - the ultra shadows + AA really take a hit on my fps though!

Extremely boring day cos i'm stuck at home recovering from surgery and can do nothing but play Skyrim so i messed around tonight... Long post incoming!

Greetings listeners. My terrible tale begins in a land called Skyrim where a young Dark Elf called Caledith got a reprieve from execution thanks to the timely intervention of fate. After escaping from her captors clutches with the aid of the rebels who were to be executed alongside her she vanished into the wilderness so that no-one could persue her. After many days of walking she came to a town called Riften, which appeared to be a perfect spot to settle down and start a new life due to the low life nature of its many occupants and the rumours of the thieves guild being located there.

One night in the local tavern called the Bee and Barb while listening for information on the thieves guild she spotted a beautiful, fair haired maiden who looked like she could handle herself. Caledith quickly bought them both a drink and learned her name was Mjoll the Lioness. There was immediate chemistry and when Mjoll mentioned her sword had been lost to her Caledith volunteered to get it back. She hoped it would gain Mjoll's affection if returned. After many weeks of travel on horseback and too many other new tales to recount here, Caledith returned with Grimsever the sword.

Mjoll's eyes lit up and when she spotted the amulet of mara an intense and whirlwind romance developed which led to them being married in the Temple of Mara in Riften. As a honeymoon present Caledith bought them a palatial house in Solitude, the kingdoms capital and they moved in together. However things began to sour as Caledith realised there was 3 people in the marriage, Mjoll's friend Aerin would not let her lead her new life, things were about to take a dark turn as Caledith hatched a plan and put it into action to ensure that it would only be her and Mjoll from then on....

She stole the key to Aerins house while her beloved slept and made her way to Riften.




Caledith arrived early evening and let herself into the house to wait in Aerin's bedroom. Her plan was to seduce Aerin and then tell Mjoll that he had taken advantage of her while drunk thus leading to the end of their friendship. However, she did not get the reaction she expected...



In a rage at his refusal to fall for her scheme she picked up a knife that had been laying on Aerin's bedside table and stabbed him until he stopped moving.




Realising that she had just committed murder and panicked at the thoughts of spending her life in a dungeon away from Mjoll she rearranged Aerins body on his bed and made it seem like a drunken suicide. She wrote a note pretending to be Aerin saying he could not live without his secret love Mjoll and rode her horse back to Solitude hoping that the guards would believe the events as she had created them. Now to spend the rest of her life with Mjoll, and no-one else...

NOTE: If crossfire is working ok for you at the moment do not install as this will disable it , crossfire issues are still being worked on :rolleyes:.

Everyone seems to be going for Dragon Armour .
Am I the only one who thinks Daedric is cooler ?

It's also has better stats and is rarer (due to dragons being everywhere :P for materials)

The Lydia story was excellent , I remember being in a dungeon, one of those Dwemer ones, with a rotating blade trap..and she literally couldn't get past it..just walking into it for 5 mins...so I told her to stay and wait in the end

I prefer Daedric, it looks cooler (I do think the Helmet is a bit naff though, I went for an Ebony Helmet instead, looks excellent with the rest of the Daedric Armour). From the stats as well it has a better Armour Rating as well. Unless Dragon Armour has better AR when it's improved, Daedric seems the better option

That Mage mercenary in Riften is class, definately worth investing 500 gold coins in. He's saved my ass more than once in the dungeons, especially the Nord dungeon in the eastern mountains which has the mad necromancer widow who brought the bodies of her husband and his lover back to life. I got a nice looking but fairly weak Ghost Sword for my efforts in that dungeon:(

Ya, he was great. Was, cause he is dead in my game, the Falmer got him down in one of the Drawven looking dungeons, I had no recent save, so he had to stay deaded.

How the hell?!

I must be the most casual skyrim player here. About 20 hours in and level 18 warrior, I don't mess with magic or smithing but all the reports here make me think I'm missing out!

How do you get a sword that does 350 damage?

Where is daedric armor?

Kiith

I was wondering that myself. My best sword does 21 damage i think (not a melee user myself). Hell, even my best bow (Ebony) only does 32 damage iirc.

I've nearly maxed out my two-handed and my legendary ebony warhammer only does over 100 (can't remember the exact figure).

Hmm I agree It must be a typo? Maybe he meant 35 damage? My current best damage for a one handed weapon is 53, which is a Daedric Sword where iv improved it to it's current max.

Btw to get Daedric armour you need to craft it yourself. You need a smithy skills of 90 before it becomes available for you to craft. It require Ebony Ingots and Daedric hearts to craft. Daedric hearts can be found randomly in Alchemy Vendors. You can find one in the Companions building in Whiterun but you have to steal it (when Interiors reload after a certain time you can get it again). You can fight Daedra in the Mehrunes Razor quest as well.

They have to be 2 handed right

My one handed set are 50 each maxed at legendary

Unless you have the nice deadric one that improves with the more friends you kill?

Maybe I should forge and enchant some dragon ones.

Ah I thought you could find it in a dungeon somewhere...a good way to get smithing up quick is to create lots of iron daggers I hear?

That's the one from the whispering door quest? I've literally killed all my followers, all NPC I'm friendly with and there is no change to it's stats. This thing of "restoring it to it's full power" just sounds like bull**** cos nothing is happening to it's stats

Yeah it's the hearts that make it hard to craft, there is also an Ebony mine where you can get an abundance of the ingots needed.
You need 1 Daedra heart per piece of armor, so 6 for armor + shield + weapon

Below is Nightingale and Daedric

Cravez

Sean how do you make that Nightingale armour? It looks awesome! unless it's in the crafting menu and I completely missed it?

Under the weapons menu, there's the "damage" stat. I know magic items will give a negative or positive modifier to this number, but what about my skill?

I'm leveling up in one handed combat but my one handed steel sword shows only a damage of 11. Should this not have a positive modifier? It had a negative modifier for a while but I don't know why.
