The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced

I'm finding tons of dwarven and dwemer items, gears, metal pieces, cogs, etc. I haven't really collected much of them. Are they important?
 
Desite being level 47, armour rating over the cap, high magic resistance, frost resistance and fire resistance of 80% odd and nearly 500 health, an Ancient Dragon can still kill me with ONE ******* breath attack if I don't block, the whole health bar in 1 go! scary stuff. If I block, it takes about 1/3 or more. Scary stuff, I was getting owned by one. This is on Master difficulty btw.
Resistances do not work in patch 1.2. This may be your problem.

You can smelt them into Dwarven metal ingots to make armor and weapons at forges. I haven't bothered but I guess you could make money by making lots of trips.

Ah, kind of thought so. Yeah, not really interested in smelting and smithing.
I've made a few potions though on alchemy labs from recipes I found, that's quite fun.
 
ive made myself a great 1 hit/kill sword 250, with +200% double handed with 56 fire/ 56 ice, hehe also have unlimited destruction magic with all the master spells TBH im thinking of rerolling as there is no challenge :(
 
Man I'm finding this game tough. I'm only on Adept skill, and I'm level 21 now and I keep getting my ass handed to me by groups of Falmers etc. I'm really struggling to make money and upgrade weapons/armour etc
 
I'm fine against melee characters now with my legendary dragon scale armour, I'm mainly a mage, but since the resistances bug in the latest patch I'm really struggling against enemy mages,

They tear me to pieces with things like ice storm and fireball :( I was running a good 40% resistance across the board before.
 
I might up the diffculty. I am level 28 and have an elven superior bow with 14% flame enchantment and have most of the archery perks ( level 75 archery) and everything falls with one -three shots depending on what it is.

Even dragons or giants are pretty easy. Just slow time using a shout and then get a good few critical shots on them.

Which type of character are you playing? Perhaps we could give some pointers :)

That would be appreciated thanks. I'm an imperial (chose this to earn money quicker to be honest). My main problem is I'm very new to this - I've not played Oblivion or anything so I'm not clued up on whats good etc, and how to get them.

I've got an armour rating of about 200 now, but my weaponry is still bad. Best I've got (I think) is a 46dmg elven greatsword (exqusite). Need to get to smithing 60 and level up so I can unlock the upgrade magic weapons perk.

I have loads of these also, but I don't see the option to make the dwarven ingots. I'm sure I have the dwarven smithing perk though.
 
I am almost pure mele/archer(but i do dabble with destruction magic) and i occasionally get owned by magic, not sure what this resistance bug is, it has always been this way for me. Staff of Fireball can detroy me.
 
Ive upped to Master now . Armour capped dragon light armour Enchanted archery, easily 1 shot a giant.. swapped to dual wield 2x Blades swords to make it a challenge still.

Theres about 3 types of mobs that hurt, Foresworn Briarthorns? Kill me in 2 hits?! i have no idea why? Elder dragons 1 shot me with fire balls., Shock damge mages 2 shot me lol.....

Killing dragons with swords is mad especially the finishing moves.

never had money problems ?? Infact there is almost no need for money in the game at all?
 
I haven't found it easy to make money throughout the game tbh, never had more than about 18,000. Bought one house but spent a lot of money on training, especially smithing to get it to 100 so i could mke use of all of the Dragon bones/scales. Working on Enchanting now as atm i am hesitant to enchant my Dragon Scale armour as i won't get it very high.

tbh i am thinking of stopping playing now, even though i have the Civil War, Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild(half way through) and Companions to do along with loads of side quests. Haven't done a single quest in any of those questlines.

I might save the rest for my next playthrough where it is likely that i will not start the main story til late and probably won't bother with the Mages Guild, i will probably go straight for the Companions and Thieves Guild and then the Dark Brotherhood and Main quest and then finish with the Civil War.


PS Is there a way to decline heading a guild, it gets a little far fetched(in a fantasy game with dragons!!!) that you are Arch Mage/Dragonborn/Head of Thieves Guild/Dark Brotherhood at the same time!
 
Thieves guild - 4 fences with 4k each and maniacal kleptomania !!!

yeah im an Imperial Legit, thieves guild master and Listener of the Assassin guild it is a bit silly.
 
Unless you're using an old exe or a pirate version you have no actual resistance to magic in 1.2.

If the game was balanced a giant should always squash you in light armour if he hits you, but it isn't.
 
I've just spent the best part of 3 hours just running around the countryside, discovering new places. This map is insanely large :cool:. I think I have discovered most places now.

Only thing I'm a little disappointed in is there doesn't seem to be many easter eggs, if any? I swam miles out to a massive iceberg, certain there would be something interesting, but couldn't find anything. Also looked under the water hoping there would be sunken ships but could only find one that had no interesting loot.
