It's a npc game. You can play it anyway you want. Set it to master or easy. Don't like the way the fight went go back to a save point and reset the fight. It's just a time fill. You want a real challenge play some online PvP like WoWs rated battlegrounds/arena.
We shall see
Thanks. I already get my ### handed to me on gears.
you just gotta try the game, you'll find smithing takes time to build up still, and although it helps, it won't save you alone. gets smithing, enchanting and potions and now you're rockin.
Um, maybe this is the point where I say that I was totally pulling chains when I said you could equip shovels because you had to dig for treasure?There's nothing buried in Skyrim. If a chest isn't there, it's a bug, not buried.

To be honest, I've been kind of bummed dreaming about all the buried loot I'd missed.
Yes, but doing so can kind of ruin your game. Train pickpocket. Train, pickpocket. Train, pickpocket. Gain a level before you even finished your 5 trainings for that level.I did that with a new character and I hit level 19 in about 3 hours. Deleted the character and started over, vowing not to do it anymore.
If you are going to do this... save before you pickpocket and you can always reload if you don't want the consequences.Also, train once and then pickpocket, rather than training multiple times and trying to steal it. The less the gold, the better your odds of stealing it.
One thing to consider... when using the enchanting table, time continues to pass around you. Which means if you are quaffing a Fortify Enchant potion, the timer on it keeps running down while you're using the table. If you take too long setting up the enchantment, your potion might end before you actually enchant the item.I don't know if it pauses while you are renaming things or not. I didn't test that specifically. If you're on a console it might be tough to rename the item before your potion runs. The store-bought potions last 60 seconds (as opposed to 30 for the ones you make yourself), so might want to go that route if so.It is really useful to rename things though. Keeps all your best gear together in the list, all your merchant gear together in the list, lockpicking gear together, carry weight gear together etc.'TxBuckeye said:
Good one. Especially since you actually did need a shovel to dig up loot in New Vegas, very believable.Um, maybe this is the point where I say that I was totally pulling chains when I said you could equip shovels because you had to dig for treasure?There's nothing buried in Skyrim.

In Riverwood, cross the water and head behind the lumber mill. There is a table with a woodcutter's axe lying on it.
I don't know about this one. I just did this, made a new glass bow and enchanted it with shock to replace the one I had made earlier. The early one did only 10 damage. I figured since I had leveled up since then, I'd see what I could do making a new one. The new one showed 15 points of shock damage when I selected the enchantment. I then remembered I had a potion that lasted 20 seconds, so I backed out, quaffed it down, then went back in. I selected the bow, then the damage, now 17. I then picked the gem. Finally, I went out and renamed it. When it was all done, it showed as doing the extra 17 points of damage. So, I think once you select the enchantment and set the damage, the damage gets set. I don't think it runs out unless maybe you back out of the creation of that weapon. I could be wrong though. Maybe I was just quick.
That could be. I only tested it to the extent of drinking a potion, making an item then exiting the table and checking the time and seeing it had been counting the whole time. And then I drank a potion, used the enchanter, but didn't make an item... just let time go by and then exited it and confirmed it had run out. After that I always just made 1 item per 30 second potion so I could be sure to fit it in.
100 or so?
What do you consider the major sidelines? Are those the quests related to the various guilds?'Matthias said:
Slow time shout + 100 archery + slow time zoom = 3 arrows and dead before he could even take 2 steps.
Or you can be a level 13 destruction/conjuration mage and take lightning bolt pot shots at him, then run away like a little #####
Yah, this is how I did it less the Slow Time part after getting housed a handful of times. Probably took me 20-30 minutes once I started using your method.Ditto. It was odd that I was given this quest so very early in the game when my character was quite weak. I certainly didn't have the capability to slow time then. No Marked for Death. Nothing. But managed to take him down and get that mask, which was AWESOME at that point in the game with it's good armor rating plus archery bonus. Not to mention, all that plinking away, I probably gained a few archery levels without even realizing it.Oh, funny thing is, the first time I tried it, I didn't even realize he was there. So here I was, low level, fighting a dragon, only to stumble in and trigger this fight simultaneoulsy. Needless to say, that required a load screen after a quick, painful death.'Matthias said:Slow Time & Use arrows. The key is to hide behind the wall and he tends to stay in that spot so you can shimmy out, shoot an arrow, and shimmy back. If he hits you, you can heal behind the wall and he generally doesnt come after you. If he does happen to make his way towards you just run by him to the otherside of the wall and he goes up the stairs and you can use the same strategy. Took me awhile to figure a good strategy.

You fight him at the end of a dungeon crawl inside a cave.
Well at least now I know what my strategy should be.Or you can be a level 13 destruction/conjuration mage and take lightning bolt pot shots at him, then run away like a little #####

You fight him at the end of a dungeon crawl inside a cave.Oh, wrong one then. I thought they were talking about the one at Shearpoint. That is where I used the strategy mentioned in the spoiler.

Thanks, great info. I am not above cheating to make sure I can at least start a quest. Are the Daedric quests that difficult to find or is it more related to a certain order and time things need to be done to get them to be offered to you?'Matthias said:
Havent tried it yet, but is it hard to get $1000 bounty in all 9 major cities? At the same time?
Really? What raw materials do you need to make them?
not sure about this one in particular...but i do know i run very fast away from Dwarven ruins. wayyy too long and uninteresting for me at this point in the game
Interesting new discovery - playing this at night with the lights off and wearing your new cordless Xbox headphones that you got for Xmas makes for a much creepier experienceI haven't jumped this much since track and field day in elementary school
