Immersive Skyrim

I just took a Gus to the knee.   :'(

You know I'll make it up to you.

[Sir Slash]

He'll get you a job as an annoying town guard in Whiterun Star. Where you can spend all day playing tag with that damned kid. 

[JasonPratt]

How did you guys even get very far in the game, let alone kill dragons, without a stealthy archer type?

Because heavy armor and a big ass sword works just as well.

Heavy armor, two maces, and stealthy archery works even better.  >:D

And I didn't start out aiming for that. I fully assumed I would be playing some kind of mage (for the sfx), and built a Breton to that spec, since they get an important magic bonus. I ended up barely using any magic.

[BanzaiCat]

I've always stayed away from the archer/ranged forms of attack in Skyrim. Much prefer to run in and beat things to death with a warhammer. The Orc character is a perfect warrior for that purpose.

[Gusington]

^I loved playing with the warhammer. In Skyrim too.

Anyone read any chatter on the next Elder Scrolls game?

[Sir Slash]

I've tried all kinds of combos but settled on a right-hand one-hand weapon and Firebolt for the left. With the firebolt spell, I don't need a bow at all.

Don't expect anything soon. Bethesda always needs a lot of time to come up with another Elder Scrolls chapter and they are currently trying to patch up the mess that is ESO. Given that recently it was confirmed that ESO is still in the works for consoles, there is simply no time for them to work on any new game in the traditional Elder Scrolls series at the moment I suppose.

That's doesn't mean anything. Considering ESO is actually developed by Zenimax, Bethesdas parent company not Bethesda themselves.

Next Elder Scrolls game is probably a ways out either way. Thankfully Bethesd doesn't try to make them a yearly franchise like so many other de oilers do these days.

There's been a lot of rumors flying around for the last year or two that Fallout 4 is in the works but nothing has been confirmed.

Yeah, that's pretty much the combo I feel comfortable with as well.

[BanzaiCat]

I tried that sword + spell combo, but I kept getting my butt kicked. I always dominated with the warhammer so it was hard to succeed with other tactics. Probably just didn't have the patience with it.

[bob48]

It may be because my main chara need further skills, but I although the 2 handed stuff does more damage, they are a lot slower to swing.

[BanzaiCat]

Yeah, gotta develop those skills. I guess my mindset is more tuned into just running in and beating something to a pulp instead of jumping around and dancing out of reach while hurling fairy bolts at bad guys.  ^-^

*Sudden mental image of dorky teens in cardboard/tinfoil armor running around yelling "lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!"*

^Spot-on, Stagger  :)
