Someone explain weapon crafting and potion crafting. I never do it in these sorts of games but I'd like to give it a try.

like in regard to what exactly?

it's fairly simple. if you have the ingredients you select what you want to make and it gets made.

i make a lot of iron stuff and i need a few leather straps and some iron ingots. the leather straps are made by first turning pelts into leather, then leather into leather straps.
the iron ingots are made by smelting iron ore into ingots.

you can also make stuff that just uses leather as well so sometimes you wont want to turn the leather into strips.

i imagine it's similar to potions but i don't make those.

Like for the smithing for instance there are like 4 devices. The forge. The tanning thing, etc. It just seems complicated looking at it from the outside.

Enchanting and Alchemy are a little more straightforward (Alchemy being the easiest).

The Smith in Riverwood walks you through the smithing process. If you want to train in Smithing don't pay trainers just craft a bunch of Iron Daggers, buy every Iron ingot and all the Leather Strips from vendors and smiths then go to a forge and craft away.

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is gonna be my longest playthrough ever. I'm crazy slow at these type of games anyway  and I've already put in a lot of time and I've barely done any of the main quest and I'm only like level 11 or 13.

Riverwood Smith in my game bit it during a dragon attack. His body is still there, and I can't help but laugh every time his kids run right by it, playing as if Daddy's just taking a nap in the middle of the road.

Man, Smithing is extremely easy to level if you've got the gold. I was able to go from level 20? To like 35 with just two vendors (buying Iron Ingots and Leather Strips). And all together the resources just cost around 1.5K Gold. It also seems like a worthy skill considering the bump in attack damage you get from sharpening weapons.

What Fistful said. The only way you gain experience is from using skills (each gain in a skill level adds to the level bar). Its a great leveling system in that gaining levels comes from fighting, crafting, stealing etc. Just being the character you want to play as.

I think its supposed to effect the sharpening of weapons but I'm not sure. I'm actually interested myself.

Edit: I just read the Wiki on it and you need a perk associated with refining gear with Smithing for Smith levels to effect the sharpening of weapons. Here's a good page explaining Smithing in general...

Thanks.

So far I have spent perks on one handed, destruction, restoration, heavy armor, and one in speech and smithing. Am I spread too thin if I go further into smithing? Should I go left (elven) or right (dwarves)? I am using a sky forge steel sword from the early mission.

I haven't gone into Smithing (as far as perks). I personally don't really see the use in creating specific types of gear when they can be found later in the game (not sure about Dragon Armor though). I guess its good for getting these types of armor/weaons early though. The refining perk sounds very, very useful though.

That site seems to indicate that I can just grind out my level and maybe use some stat boosters to make up for a lack of perks. I shot up tp level 45 using daggers and now I can make an exquisite sword.

Ahhh, that's good to hear. You can also augment the effect (I think) with potions and enchanted gear that improve smithing.

Also the Dark Brotherhood sent an assassin after me with a note that says that someone wants me dead, wondering if this happens to everyone or just random playthroughs. Either way this could get interesting.

Also can I crossbreed? The idea of being a vamp werewolf is too awesome!

I don't think you can crossbreed, its either one or the other. Also I think the Dark Brotherhood attacks happen if you cross someone. I've had thugs came after me (just once) cause I had supposedly stolen something but was never seen doing it (so there's was no bounty on me). So the store owner acted on his own suspicions which is pretty damn awesome.

Not too late to switch platforms, 360 guys.

Finished up the Dark Brotherhood questline. It was AWESOME. :rock

Although, none of the individual quests were as hilarious as being locked up in house full of people and then picking them off one by one, pitting them against each other, and all that like the DB quest from Oblivion. :lol

I'd just drop one more in later so you can upgrade Enchanted stuff. I chose the Elven perk too, don't know if it was worth it yet vs other perks though, it does seem to give a sizable bump in damage to Elven stuff vs not having the perk, not sure about the exact %

Not drawn in by the main quest yet, Dragons Zzzzzz, I wish this were set in the time of the Dwarves and Falmer before they were fucked. Finding out more about them is one of my favourite parts of the lore in the game so far

Got to the reach area yesterday and it's probably my favourite zone in the game so far, the forsworn are more interesting than typical bandits. High and low elevation makes for much more interesting exploration (it's like the gothic games in that regard). Great looking area as well. Still got solitude and windhelm to check out and i'm saving the northern coast till last (it looks like solstheim from bloodmoon, and i fucking loved bloodmoon)

Thieves Guild quest line is pretty cool, not at first mind you but you literally build it up from its lowest point. Getting Special Jobs is pretty janky though. You need to do five jobs for each city to get a Special Job for that city, the problem is that regular jobs are handed out at random. So if you want to do the five jobs needed in say, Solitude, you need to accept a job and keep it if its the city you want or quit the quest and re-try until you get the city you want.

Fuuuuuck, I just spend a good chunk of time finishing the Thieves Guild line and converting my current armor and weapons to Legendary class. The difference in attack/defense damage is pretty damn big. I was able to do this with only two perks into Smithing (one on the initial perk and one on being able to refine magical gear) by enchanting two pieces of gear that augment my smithing by 15% and quaffing a potion that augments my smithing ability (by 71%). I want to make an all Light armor gear set that provides huge gains for the one-handed skill and maybe another skill (if I choose the multi-skill enchantment perk).

Yeah, I bought a few levels from the smith at Skyforge, but then I figured out I just buy some leather and gain like 10 levels for a few hundred gold. Now I'm up to Lv. 70 and I can create orc armor.

I think, even then there are some enemies that are still ridonculous. I can kill a lot of shit easily now but Ancient Dragons fuck me up if I don't have cover nearby.

As far as Enchanting goes 1 Second of Soul Catch with a Grand Soul will give you 2000 hits. Get a lot of petty gems and start killing smaller wild life. You'll level up enchanting quickly.

I found one via the Thieves Guild quest line (an enchanted Glass Sword that was in a case). Its actually the best weapon I have at this point and was hand placed instead of given to me (so it is missable but can be got to afterwards). With that said, I haven't seen a lot of overpowered gear lying around like this sword. You tend to get the good stuff from questline endgames.

what damage are we talking?

i have an ebony war axe that does 62 damage (after enhancements). i haven't found anything in the game as powerful as that. then again i haven't really done much of the main quest line.


anyone do the Shrine of Azura quest line? the final portion is crazy hard. you have to face 4 super high level mages and their fireballs kill me in seconds. it's impossible for me currently.

Soul Catch is a spell but in the context of Enchantments you should be able to find it at shops on enchanted gear. I think, as a spell, its under Conjuration. Also Enchantments are permanent I believe.

Edit: Its actually "Soul Trap" not "Soul Catch" just in case confusion stems from me using the wrong name.

I've been using the Molag Bal mace for quite awhile now, I mean like over the last 35 hours or so.  I haven't found anything worth swapping it out for.  The thing is ridiculously powerful, which seems kind of strange seeing how early you can get it and how little you have to do to earn it.  I'll occasionally break out the Dawn Breaker if I'm going into a dungeon crawling with Draugr but for the most part I'm just a daedric mace swinging motherfucker.

Nearly 60 hours in and I'm still receiving a ton of quests......this shit doesn't stop

Three hard lockups in probably 50 or 60 hours and a weird skill related bug that works itself out but other than that its been fantastic. Looks amazing, even on the 360.

I've been using the Molag Bal mace for quite awhile now, I mean like over the last 35 hours or so.  I haven't found anything worth swapping it out for.  The thing is ridiculously powerful, which seems kind of strange seeing how early you can get it and how little you have to do to earn it.  I'll occasionally break out the Dawn Breaker if I'm going into a dungeon crawling with Draugr but for the most part I'm just a daedric mace swinging motherfucker.

Nearly 60 hours in and I'm still receiving a ton of quests......this shit doesn't stop

what kind of soul gems do i need for regular humans? i don't use the mace against them because it always says "no soul gem large enough" when i kill someone. i have a bunch of greater soul gems...

maybe i should head back to the mage college. maybe there's some in my arch mage quarters.

Started the Dark Brotherhood quest.

I went to the orphanage and my target was bitching out the kids. I just stand behind her and I wound up doing a cinematic backstab straight through the fucking heart RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL THE CHILDREN. She dropped dead, my bounty stayed at zero, and all the kids started cheering. Game of the forever.

no, it looks slightly worse, and it has a really bad cache issue that degrades performance when the cache size gets over 5 MB :-(
