Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Golden Taters]

I have not used a torch once in this game, which is something I heavily relied on in Oblivion.

Ran into two dragons at once I thought the second one was a shadow at first. One spitting fire the other ice.

Same. Dungeon-diving got much easier in Oblivion once you get a ring of night-eye. But no need in Skyrim and I don't know if there are even night-eye enchantments available. Few of the places I've been have been dark enough to need extra lighting. Might just have my brightness settings quite high...?

Carrying around a torch wouldn't work so well for my character. Kinda takes away from the sneaky bastardness when you gotta light the way...

You probably miss out on a ton of loot.

I'm much like that hilarious diagram a few pages back where I check every fuckin corner of every room in every dungeon.

I'm still shocked when you see a part of a cave room where it looks just like part of the wall, all dark, but then you blast magelight or use a torch near by and what's this....a fuckin massive wardrobe completely hidden from plain sight with 3 books that raise skill levels, 100G and a filled grand soul gem?


Torches are certainly not required from a getting through the dungeon perspective, but there's things to be missed without them.

90+ hours in and I just figured out how the favorites menu works.

FTFY


I used to use candlelight all the time, then I started sneaking, then I stopped trying to hide from dudes and just run in, sword drawn and wreck a ton of shit.

"You'll never get out of here alive!" *fireball* "I give up!" *sword across the neck*

You must not be a magic user lol. Without favourites, you couldn't be a mage.

I love when they say that, I'm just like :niggaplease:

I was at first but i hated pausing to switch spells so I went with duel wielding. I think I'm going to give it another try now that I know what's going on.

Had a fun moment last night. I had to climb around the outside of a dwemer ruin to meet some companions inside for a quest. There were a bunch of bandits around the place, so I took my time sneaking and sniping with the bow. Get near to the top and spot someone sitting on a bench in a small alcove, almost hidden in the shadow. I wander up, still sneaking, thinking that it will be one of my companions, as I didn't get a red indicator. When I get right up in front of the guy, I realize its not my buddy... its the mook boss. And despite me being direct in front of him, he hasn't noticed me yet. Guess my sneak skill is pretty high. So I pull out the trusty bow and from about six inches away, I put an arrow into the center of his forward. He still doesn't move - his head just tilts back with the arrow sticking out. One of my best kills yet.
