Overall Level 14 Nord
Destruction 29
Restoration 27
Archery 38
One-Handed 38
Heavy Armor 30
Smithing 39
I started fighting a giant last night then a dragon came about and started attacking. Then while I was running around fighting them I ran into a group of bandits hiding out near by. Needless to say it was a cluster fuck.
I'm probably going to go full blown mage when I restart next.

So now I have a Daedric helmet and armor. I had a second Daedra heart until a guard stopped me and I had to pay my bounty. I didn't realize they take your stolen items too
If you go to Anise's Cabin and look to the left of her bed, there's a cellar door. Down in the basement is a satchel with a Daedra heart in it.
I got the other one in Jorvvaskr (sp?). Stole it from Kodlak Whiteman (lol), then I just paid the 250 gold bounty associated with stealing it. Cheaper than paying 850 from Enthir in Winterhold.

Don't the daedra fighers respawn in his shrine?
Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
They do.
Is Daedra armor really better than Heavy Dragonplate armor?

Yes
too bad neither of them look as good as I hoped

If you know that, you should be able to adjust your aim just fine.FloppY_ wrote:

Obviously doesn't help that the bow shoots up'n'over the crosshair instead of flying straight and then dropping...
EDIT: This:As someone who has done a lot of archery, this is entirely correct. The key that most people seem to be missing is that when you aim an arrow you aren't looking directly down the shaft- it isn't like the sights on a rifle. If you are shooting an arrow from a close distance and align the tip over your target, the arrow will overshoot your mark.
If you are looking perfectly horizontally (as shown in the figure) the back of the arrow is near your cheek (below your line of sight). In order for the tip of the arrow to be on the same horizontal plane as your eye and the target, the arrow therefore has to be angled slightly upwards (also as seen in the figure). While the arrow is accelerating downwards throughout its entire flight due to gravity, this angle gives it an initial upwards velocity. If the target is close enough, the arrow wont have time to drop below the horizontal again.
Thus, when you are aiming at a close target you aim the tip of your arrow slightly below your mark, close to your mark for a medium target, and above your mark for a distant one.
EDIT: Apparently this applies to gun sights as well, thanks!
EDIT 2: There's been a lot of focus on the crosshair, claiming that this is the game "adjusting for gravity" or something. That isn't the case. The crosshair simply points directly in front of you- it is your line of sight. The crosshair shows where you are looking, and the bow is shown as it would be used. There is nothing programmed into the game turning the crosshair into an "aim-helper"; the game does nothing more than show you what is there (your line of sight and bow position), and leaves the rest to you. This is actually as realistic as it could be, it just seems unintuitive if you're used to the FPS "crosshair = where the bullet will go" method.
Yes but apparently it doesn't matter. Some of the wikis are saying that damage reduction from armour is capped at 80%, which is achieved at 567 armour rating. Getting to that rating with heavy armour perks and smithing is easy. You can do it with steel plate.FloppY_ wrote:

Personally I'm fairly certain I'm taking zero damage with my 1000+ armour character. I afked on a troll for like 5 minutes and he barely did 10% of my health so I'm not sure how accurate the wiki is.
I think the Daedric looks badass, better than Dragon, which is why I'm using it lol. Just cause it looks cool :p
so does this game present any notion of challenge or accomplishment at all or is it just basically a role-player geek fantasy warderobe for fancy armour and swords that make you feel great

One of the objects of the game is to make it less challenging through better perks and gear. What do you think?
that's like saying one of the objects of world of warcraft is to make the game less challenging as you get better perks, talents and gear. well yeah, normal mechanic: the treadmill. but in skyrim it's all fucked up, because it's no fuss or challenge to EARN those perks, talents or gear in the first place. as most mongs here have demonstrated perfectly well, you can grind to the top most insane and pretty and geek-hardon level armour with no real challenge at all and then go forth and conquer. and if you can't conquer, still, after earning the best shit in the game for doing basically nothing... you can turn the difficulty level down. that's the equivalent of being able to get full epic at level 20 in world of warcraft, and then one hit every boss. uuum, great game. this game basically is a fellatio simulator for geeks.

Personally I play Skyrim for the exploration, small stories and atmosphere...
Sorry, not everyone is as "hardcore" as you mate...
Jesus christ Uzi... I play my games on "Normal" (the way the dev's felt it should be played). But you can't hold it against someone if they want an easier/more difficult experience...Uzique wrote:

on top of retarded exploits, once you get certain abilities you become pretty much unstoppable. I've yet to meet an enemy who gave me a run for my money that wasn't a sabrecat or cave bear or some other arctic mammal. Not too inspiring for a fantasy game. Quests have some good moments but otherwise feel like the typical run of the mill mmo fetch and deliver runs.Uzique wrote:

and sorry, floppy, but not everyone is a wimp that will cry and whine like a little bitch if a game is a little bit difficult.FloppY_ wrote:

the problem is that game developers are rubbing the belly of inveterate and clueless nerds like you all the time, and game quality suffers badly. they try to please everyone and make a game 'do-able' by everyone, so afraid of alienating anyone or giving them a hard time, and the game ends up becoming a yawn fest.
why does that fancy armour feel like an achievement? how does slaying a dragon feel epic? when it's all so easy? doesn't seem like much fun to me knowing it's all a walk in the park.

I don't like stuff, therefor no one else show be allowed to either.
i'm all for games. i just don't see where the 'game' is here. it is purely just a roleplay tour through old cliche and geek sexual fantasy crap. nothing in the game is difficult or presents a modicum of challenge. the storyline is corny and relies on more stock characters and phrases than a michael bay movie. the graphics are very average, thus the game isn't saved on visual experience. what is there to this game, honestly? people seem to play it because it makes them feel heroic and great when they get the good armor and save the princess. but it is incredibly easy to do that. so... ? i'm missing the 'x' ingredient here, clearly.

I can't see why some of you think Skyrim has bad graphics I can't think of an open-world game that looks better tbh, and it runs so well, even my old-ish PC can do high settings without problems... It looks pretty great imo...
