g_bassi13 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Surprised no one else prefers dual wielding. Has to be the most fun option. But still, I think it's best to keep your attack versatile. That's why my blocking and archery are both at 50. It's fun to overpower a skill, but it leaves you vulnerable if you're not prepared for all situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: now that I think about it Legolas did have 2 swords.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I guess overall it's not that practical to begin with, but the stronger your character gets, the more effective it becomes. Initially you kinda have to go with sword/shield. But then I started going with a mode A with dual wielding for casual fights, and mode B where I put grabbed on my shield and helmet to prepare to be fought back at. And then as my sword attack increased in overall damage, I found I only needed that mode B in the most dire of cases. The idea is to try to kill enemies quickly, before they can even fight back. For giants, I just run head on at them and slice at their knees as fast as I can. It now works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 i prefer killing dragons with swords instead of arrows. you have to be pretty good to do it and i am VERY good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Adding to the opinion that most people are Wood Elves that use a Bow.....I'm a Wood Elf that uses a Bow. At least I was. As soon as I got my Sneaking and Archery up to 100, I switched to Dual Casting Magic. I don't see a point in using the Bow when it's maxed out, when I can improve something else instead. My Bow skill is awesome and I own with it, but the game is more challenging if I use 2 spells or a sword and shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Bow skill is awesome and I own with it, but the game is more challenging if I use 2 spells or a sword and shield. I agree with this. I'm maxed out in archery and in the high 80s with sneak. Although I can own enemies with it, it's not entirely fun. A while ago I switched to light shield and a mace. Pretty fun so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 i prefer killing dragons with swords instead of arrows. you have to be pretty good to do it and i am VERY good. I always just wait for it to land, then go and hack it to pieces. Never fails. A bit of destruction magic helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RO8!! Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 not if ur blocking has elemental protection yeah dual wielding is fun but not too realistic In a game where there is magic you think dual wielding is unrealistic? I think it is a completely legit play style and you can go dual wield all the way through the game, I did as an Argonian and while some fights are much more difficult it usually just takes a bit of strategy such as taking out the weaker enemies first so your not surrounded and stuff like that. Once you get some perks your Dual Wielding deals amazing amounts of damage and can down some of the toughest opponents before they can get anymore then a few swings in. And I won't deny bows are probably one of the most popular but I will argue with wood elves because I'm a Kahjiit Archer thats uses H2H in close combat.

canuckspride Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Tell me how effective that is against giants. Im at lvl 35 with daedric armour and can comfortably take on giants now with mace and shield, i like the 50% armour penetration perk with maces...so sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*vInTaGe* Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I have a couple questions again. I bought the house in Windhelm and I'd like to furnish it. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the warden who can sell me the decorations. Any tips? Also, I'm thinking about joining the dark brotherhood, which is a stealthy occupation if I am correct. My character is an orc, and I was wondering if that is going to prove difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. I've never been killed by one anyway, so it's fine with me I hate Spriggans though. They always gang up on me and I usually end up dead.

My character is an orc, and I was wondering if that is going to prove difficult. For the house I have no idea. Maybe find out where the warden lives on the internet...and go to his actual house in Windhelm? I assume the castle is where he actually lives though. Dark Brotherhood can be stealth if you want, but it doesn't really have to be. In the DB, you're allowed to kill whoever you want and how many people you want in order to achieve the main goal. The Thieves Guild is the more stealthier group. Not supposed to kill anyone besides the guy you're sent to. Sometimes you don't kill anybody, you just go in and steal something.

Rhinogator Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 For the house in windhelm (hjerm) if you fully completed blood on the ice then you can buy/furnish it. The steward whom you bought the house from should be the guy that you can buy decorations from. At least that's how it is in my game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
