There are certain perks to increase chances of finishing moves, but in general it seems to be a random chance, getting increasingly likely the lower health they. and indeed you (I've been beheaded a few times!) have.
Max level is 81, so 80 perks probably.
I got hit by a Giant once while level 4.. He hit me over the head and my body hit the floor and then bounce HIGH in to the air, never flew so high!
Think I've made a mistake leveling my blacksmithing to 100, now I'm in full dragonscale armour.
Hopefully other armour I encounter will be good. Level 25 atm.
I've started getting the odd graphics driver crash when coming out of the esc menu for some reason which also ctd's the game, I'm using 285.79. Anyone else experienced this?
what the best way to get my smithing up?
If you have the gold, just do the rounds of all the smiths, buy iron ore/bars and leather strips, then make Iron Daggers.
From what I've heard it takes around 300 to max the skill.
I'm mostly ignoring Smithing, I dislike how it gives you the ability to craft the best armor before it appears in the game world, I prefer being able to upgrade my equipment naturally.
I found the giants pretty tricky at first, but my sneak and archery are good enough ow that as long as I sneak up and get a good vantage point on them then I can take them down with five sneak shots and then charge in with swords, great feeling considering early on in the game i was having to make them chase me to some tower or doorway they couldnt get into whilst I shot them, stoopid giants.
Nice view when they send you flying though.
I found some ore in a cave but I needed a pickaxe to mine it. Where can I find one?
