[QUOTE=beornica]So if nobody cares, why bother? I thought the whole point of streaking was for shock value.[/QUOTE]

Can be... it can also be liberating... and by liberating I mean a way to release sexual tension.

I rarely do it anymore... now that I have a girlfriend. She doesn't like it.

Since I haven't really played Bloodmoon or Tribunal, I try to avoid reading things about them, just because I'd like them to play out somewhat on their own. However, I typically am searching for spoilers on forums, but they are relevant to quests that I am stuck on, not ones far down the line that ...

I go to school in Berkeley. Nobody cares there. Some dude went to class butt-naked all year, for one year.... but you probably didn't want to know any of this. My bad. Maybe I should edit that out.

Is it possible for it to be challenging if you have really good skills and attributes but only use really crappy equipment. For example, an extremely skilled barbarian nord that wears nordic fur or some that wolf or bear armor and jabs people with chitin axes or breaks her chitin bow every shot ...

I played pretty far with the 'mage' class. It's all of the magic skills + short sword (which I never used). It gets rather cheezy though because you just smoke stuff before it gets to you. You don't need much more than levitate, mysticism and destruction (if that). But that's me being dumb again ...

[QUOTE=beornica]Play a necromancer. [/QUOTE]

What would be considered a necromancer?

Probably Orc or Dark Elf?
Clearly conjuration.
Probably mysticism, blunt weapons, whatever bound armor is, Unarmed, Illusion, Destruction & enchant...?

I really like it when my skills and attributes increase. I enjoy watching my character develop. In fact, I really like character creation, figuring out what I want in my char. I don't really think finding unique artifacts is cool, and doing quests therefore aren't too rewarding.

I think the spells ...

First, what do you like doing (fighting creatures, stealing, dialogue, advancing in faction, in level, etc...)?

Second, what limitations do you put on yourself in the game to make it more fun? Do you turn up the difficulty? Play without certain unbalancing skills? Only use creeper/mudcrab once?

I ...

[QUOTE=fable]Combat and magic. Magic has to be a part of everything, or you'll find yourself fried, shocked, blasted, paralyzed, poisoned, and folded three ways before you can raise your weapon.[/QUOTE]

There are ways to avoid being harmed by magic without using it yourself. You could dodge spells ...

Magic's a ton of fun but can get repetitive. I'll just grab some enchantments or make some potions that I like and not deal with it.

But I really like light armor, sneaking, h2h, marksman and acrobatics. Plus the feeling of mercantile and speechcraft makes me happy. It makes me feel like people ...

[QUOTE=Dark Master]For me it was the moment when I was doing the quest to get Azura's Star. I had the radio on. I had just gotten to the Island and came up on the hill behind Sheograth's army of creatures. I was playing as a necromancer, and I summoned a Clannfear and Dremora. I used Aryon's Helper ...

[QUOTE=Psi_RedEye22]Is there any way to cut out the middle man and just buy soul gems with souls already in them? :D [/QUOTE]

Who's the middleman in this scenario? You?

Well, if you really wanted to take the shortest path, you could cut out the whole enchanting process and you could buy/loot ...

Or you could Resist Arrest. That's a lot of fun. And scream, "Run away! Run away!" Just watch out for the guar that the imperial guard is bound to catapult your way.

[QUOTE=fable]a lot of effort making potions. [/QUOTE]

I think this is what I don't understand. It takes very little effort from what I can tell to make potions, especially in stacks.

Mine was actually at 15 when I started, and it was miscellaneous. Are you just saying that you can't click fast enough to do it? I really don't think it was more than 20 minutes of clicking.

I loaded up about 3000 of both ingredients and just clicked. I also had the grand master mortar and pestle ...

but you are kinda right about it making things no fun. But I have this problem of never doing quests because I focus too much on levelling, so made I should just max my stats first and then enjoy the dialogue/plot aspects of things. I guess I'll do cheesy stuff to get better skills, but I don't ...

Go to someone who sells alchemy ingredients that are cheap, mix for an effect and refresh in their inventory. For example, go to Ajira (the mage's guild kitty) and get small kwama eggs and crab meat. Or you could go to the dude in Wolverine Hall in the imperial shrine and buy saltrice, chokeweed and ...

So.... just for kicks last night I picked Medium, Armorer and Mercantile as major skills and a whole bunch of other combat and stealth skills. The only relevant thing I did was make sure that I had at least one misc endurance and one misc personality skill. And I specialize in magic when I don't ...

[QUOTE=beornica]
As for "finishing your template", here's what I would do.
mercantile
enchant
alchemy
athletics
heavy armour
marksman
acrobatics
speechcraft
security (unless you plan on enchanting something with open 100 pts very early on)
mysticism
restoration (much easier to have the spells ...

Let's say you're making a character and you've already decided this much:

Breton or Orc
Atronach
Endurance and Luck
Skills: Mercantile, Enchant, Alchemy

How would you finish that template? You'd need major/minor skills and a specialization.


BTW, the argument that you'll just end up wearing 1 set ...
