RO8!! Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Is there a way of making your own arrows? Or do I have to rely on merchants and loot? Seems kinda silly that you can make your own armor and weapons, but not a simple arrow when all you need is some wood, feathers, and whatever material you want your arrowhead made out of... And yes, I know the "plant your desired arrow and collect infinite arrows" trick...I did that successfully in the thieves guild. I think it is because making arrows would boost your smithing even easier than it already levels, I agree you should be able to make them and they should just do it by increments like 25 at a time or something.

sakage.shinga Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I think the latest patch actually broke my dragon animations - this dragon I fought was flying very slowly, almost hovering in circles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DollarAndADream Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 After the new patch, I saw a dead dragon come rolling down a mountain. I went up to it and it wouldn't let me absorb it's soul. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offensive Threat Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Ok, so I was up above the greybeards doing that quest to talk to that dude ( trying not to give away spoilers) and before heading up I told Lydia to hit the bricks. Shes supposed to go back to my house, Breezeholm, like she has done quite a few times before. but this time she never showed up. I went back up to where I last talked to her, shes not there. I walked what I estimated her route back would be, no sign of her. I dont wanna have to go back thru a few hours of gameplay to a save to get her back. Any way to force a recall of her or something? I know I can hire some dudes here and there to take her place but I dont want some hobo for hire. You cant trust those losers. Besides she was decked out in some pretty sweet armour and weapons.

She could be back at Jarrvaskr were the Companions are. That's where I found Aela when she was supposed to be at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever plan on buying a house in Whiterun maybe killing the guards isnt the best use of your time. At lvl 18 my sword and board Nord is around magika 100 health 210 stamina 160 before any perks.He only really uses magika to heal himself and to create a bound sword when he wants to dual wield so base magika amount is fine for that. Points are mostly in 1 handers with 3 or 4 in heavy armour and 2 in restoration. Im not sure the points in heavy armour were the best choices but they seemed right at the time. If you want to add destruction to the mix maybe test out how much magika you use and how often you run out during combat to decide how much to raise it.

Ya ,I'm gonna make one of these guys myself. Just got tired of my level 33 wood elf and am looking forward to a fresh start. I wouldn't use destruction magic as it spreads you out to thin on the perks and doesn't allow for an blocking. I tried to have an all around guy, but there was a rough time at around level 23 to 27 where I would just get destroyed. So I dropped Destruction and just focused on a few skills, ( achery and one hand, light armour ). Restoration is good to have but between food and potions you shouldn't need much magicka. You need stamina for power attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanford Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Something I found amusing. If you people remember Riverwood the first little town you go to, and remember the black smith there, named Alvar. Anyways the other day we got into an "altercation". I murdered him and dumped his body in the river. After a few days I went back to the town and talked to his wife. Surprisingly new dialog appeared! She told me that she hoped the wilds would claim me, and how she missed Alvar. I thought this was very amusing! She also send some thugs to kill me when I was in solitude!!!! In the end of the day her body was floating in the river by Riverwood as well. It may sound sick, but it was necessary; SHE TRIED TO KILL ME . Also I wiped out an entire small town (Rorikstead)... I was broke and needed the cash. The farmers were easy pickings. I do not dare attack the bigger towns... I also stroke the farmers outside of Whiterun... unfortunately Lydia died here in the small skirmish. One of the farmers and guard killed her. But nothing got to waste, looted Lydia and the farmers and good some cash. If you need money 1 advice. Kill the innocent farmers! They are easy pickings!!! Pillage them!

Every dungeon, every quest, drops a boatload of money in your lap. I come back to town after a few dungeons and I cant sell everything cuzz Ive dropped all the merchants down to 0 gold and I still have loot to get rid of. And Im not even trying. Or are you just using this "I need money" excuse so you can go on murderous rampages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
