So, I walked into what turned out to be a bandit cave and had a skulk around in the shadows. They had a pretty nice pub/bar area going on until a Falmer raiding party turned up and there was a massive fight. I got stuck in too and had the battle of my life. See if you can count all of the corpses!



I think there's 18. It was one of those amazing moments in gaming, for me. :)

Remember this place for a certain blood quest later :)
 
Urgh, I am currently level 30 with my new character (first proper character on the PC, previous plays were on the 360). Anyway, assassin character. LOADS of fun. However, in stealth, it's easy mode, not bad, up the difficulty is fine! I don't mind one hitting. Kind of makes sense, if you creep up on someone and shove a knife in there back, thats a one hit kill to me.

However, outside of combat, I am VERY weak, just faced a descendant conjurer and got wiped out within seconds! Could barely hurt her before I got wiped out. However, sneak attack with my dagger (x30) is a one hit.

Any ideas on how to beef my self up outside of stealth?

Once I finish the thieves guild quest, I might start a new character. Dependent on how this one turns out.

Outside of combat? Dying in straight up fights is the opposite, being capable of stealth kills is outside of combat, so you are very weak inside of combat. :p

As said above, train your light armor on weak creatures, just let them beat on you or go to tons of low level dungeons and play normally. Then level enchantment and whack some resist magic on as much gear and rings as you can, even out your defence so to speak. You might want to pump Archery as well and get used to dodging and trading projectiles with other archers/mages, or use magic yourself, nobody said an Assassin isn't allowed some magic. :)

However, until the very high levels and end game, you aren't going to have many strengths, right now your characters strength is his ability to sneak attack, so really as stated above start training your weaknesses up while taking out the very hard characters with your advantage: stealth.
 
There will always be times when you need light armour as much of a sneaky soafb you intend to be. Its impossible to creep everywhere. Hardcore stealth assassins are armed to the teeth in light weight armour to they can move faster.
 
My bad haha, inside combat I'm weak!

Hmmm, and could do, could don on a one handed sword (nightingale sword pops to mind) and some magic in the other and just go exploring! I finally capped sneak earlier so no need to worry about that being under leveled.

More than enough stamina at the moment, health is not that great, could use a bit more.

Yeah, just become a Battlemage for a while, and sneak attack the very strong monsters. Health is important, what you can't enchant with magic resistance, enchant with health bonuses.
 
If I was unsure about my character so may have assigned one or two perks I will no longer develop. Will this matter in longrun or can I fix it?
 
You have a total of 81 Skill points you can get so whatever you don't use I guess are kind of wasted. Depends how much you put into them etc.

There are ways to remove them using the console. But I would be careful using that method as it can bork your saves up sometimes.
 
So could I remove one and reassign it? If you could point me to where I can learn how to do this id be happy! I could back up my saves right?
 
I've just started playing Skyrim for the first time, and in fact apart from a bit of a go at Fable 2 my first real RPG experience.

I'm about 3 hours in and have just had a fun experience at the West Watch Tower outside White Run, which was pretty cool.

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a guide to the levelling of skills etc and some of the game mechanics like crafting etc as it's pretty in depth and I'm not really sure what I'm doing...

Thanks

It's really basic compared to most RPG's!

Once you get the basics, it's dead simple.

Play how you want, the skills you use the most will gain skill levels, once you level up, you spend a perk, the more skill levels you have on a particular skill, the more perks you can spend on that skill.

In other words, just play how you like and perk up the things you like using the most which will and should be the highest skill level!

Wearing heavy armor and using a mace? Heavy armor and one handed will have high skill points, spend perks there to gain extra damage/armor and cool, well cool perks!

Don't bother removing. Just add the extra perks you want. I only consider it cheating if you use all of them, not just the ones you actually wanted.
 
Does this sound like an alright character idea? I'm an Imperial and I want to be light armour, single handed weapon with shield, bow for ranged and sneak! This too much? Would I get enough out of all of them with perks?

Cheers
