I went with a heavy armored s&b warrior type, with some restoration chucked in for support. All's fine until I come across groups of skilled mage, all with streaming magic, pretty much have jug potions before even getting a hit off on each one. I'm hoping some resist gear and some perks will help out, but I feel like resto wards and the shield elemental perk wont be massively helpful, because ultimately you walk slower (with the shield up anyway) and wards burn magika super quick (I'm not investing in any extra magika as it seems pointless for usually the odd heal). I'll see how it goes, I'm not rerolling until I manage the game with this!

Oh and PS; I'm loving the story involving the drinking competition, lead to lots of extra adventures :)

I'm having the same problem, mages are definitely the most dangerous to warriors because they sap your stamina very quickly and just keep backing away from you. I've found the key is to be a bit stealthier and try and draw them off one at a time or if there's a few into a narrow corridor where you can use a shout on all of them. Key is getting the drop on them, if they see you and you have to advance across a room to them you are basically ******.
 
Had a few hours to burn before work, so decided to go exploring. Ran in to the guy with the mask you get and then a random dragon landed on him and knocked him off the cliff. So, picked him off with arrows after killing the dragon lol.

Killed a few necromancers and then some assassin from dark brotherhood tried to gank me! :eek:

Dunno if the assassin is part of main quest, so im sorry if i spoilt it :(
 
Dunno if many have found it but in place some where near whiterun I found a spellbook that let's u turn iron to silver and silver to gold I hope it will help with my smithing ;)
 
Really loving this game,

First play-through I did an Orc warrior - Adept difficulty - L31

2 Handed Ebony Warhammer
Fully Dragon Armour Set (legendary :D)
Killed the final boss in a few seconds using the Orc Racial ability (so overpowered)

Second game so far,

High Elf Mage - Adept - L31

Destruction/Conjuring Spec.

Spent the last hour trying to cure my vampirism (got to final stage & had to feed) - finally got it sorted :) - now to goto the mage city to learn some higher tier spells, still using lightening bolt lol (pretty bad l2 spell).

One thing I've noticed, giant camps are a great way of leveling.

As a mage, i just keep kiting them around a rock, spamming the low level fire ability, as an archer I do the same, but as a melle fighter I can't do the same because I just get one shotted lol....

One camp can take a while, but can get you 5 or 6 archery gains per camp, more if they have a number of mammoths.

Not sure if it changes based on time, but I started a game once and the first shop had iron ingots, then another time I played, he didn't have any.

I noticed the shops change their contents every 24hours. So, I sometimes rest till next day to get my daily health pots and check out weapon shops for enchanted ones :D

This also applies to the vendors available cash, the next day it's topped up again (which is why selling to different vendors if possible is an advantage).
 
lol having an argument with my friend at the moment who is ****ed off that mages can wear heavy armour with no skill penalties once you have the perks, trolol. hes like "whats the point" ;)

mages are bad ass in this game though.

Reminds me of my days playing NWN and needing still spell to cast in armor :p
 
Im curious how are you people splitting your level up stat increase, I heard there are people who are playing as mages who aren't adding any to their magicka due to enchanting. I'm playing a stealthy assasin and I went for 150 magicka, 200 stamina and the rest to health.

I like my magic, so am considering 200 magic, 200 stamina and then I'll see about health

Think I will have to change my character over to a mage. Sounds pretty cool!

Sadly, I have put a lot of points into stamina and health (was melee/magic before) so I kinda screwed that one up ;)

Anyway to reassign points at all?

Well, it's nothing like WoW to be honest...

Oh I know that... I just meant that wow was very new to me - never played an MMO before and it was all exciting. I never got into Fallout 3, sadly... but I'm hoping this will be better. I do like magic and swords and stuff better than desolate wastelands.
