I thought there was a chance the textures were different on consoles or even that lowering detail might make a character look less like a lot lizard. I think ill poke around on nexus and find something that looks less terrible than the defaults.

Post my character eh? Allright. Meet Caladan Weirborn, no doubt fleeing frome some court intrigue in Daggerfall. Arch-mage? Check. Power-mad? Check. Raises the corpses of necromancers "ironically"? Check. Yes, I'm having a lot of fun playing this character. I just wish (oh how do i wish) there was more stuff to do in this game of the arcane variety, for now I'm just running around pretending to do research while I collect books.  Ignore Farkas, he's just happy I gave him some cool armor.  It's important to look authoritative.  And arcane. Gotta look arcane.   I just wish there was any point to having followers. They just get in the way of fireballs. With Conjuration I can at least make more. I have to say the look of the Arch-poncho is starting to somewhat grow on me. It reminds me of some of the ashlander stuff from Morrowind, especially since I first saw it on a dunmer. Not a bad thing in my opinion.

This is my Orc Monk, Roku gro-Warmog. Here he is coldcocking an ancient undead lord.  HADOUKEN!  I'm playing him pretty much as a unarmed battlemage with no shirt. It's kind of hard to get good shots of him in action, since most of the time he's either glowing blue from a +armor spell, has set himself on fire, or both. I've been playing around with unarmed scaling based on stamina and I think it's working out pretty well. I changed the default unarmed damage from 4 to 5 and add +1 for every 10 stamina past the initial 100. So far it feels like a pretty good progression. I'll probably see about making a mod with those numbers when the CS comes out.

How do you deal with it? This was precisely the reason why I gave up on trying to play a Monk type build at the moment. Assuming you're on PC, you can hotkey magic spells to a number within the favourites menu and double tapping it equips the spell in both hands, which is handy for a Healing spell for example which you can quickly dual-cast in a pinch. Problem is you can't do it the other way round and unequip spells. I've thought about hotkeying a two-handed weapon to another slot and double tapping the key for it which in theory should equip and then unequip it, leaving your hands empty. Might be worth trying.

The way I do it is to hotkey spells to the number keys, with bow on 1 and my main melee weapon on 2. Then I favourite my secondary melee weapon but don't hotkey it. When I want to dual wield I hit q and left click the second weapon. Its clumsy and slow as hell. On my dual wielding sneak thief it basically meant that I never used Illusion spells for anything as it was such a hassle to switch back to dual weapons on the fly. If theres a better way to do it I'm all ears.

Pictured in the background is a giant observing a hapless deer he launched into orbit a couple seconds before I took this picture.  Also, finally got around to getting a proper throne shot because all the cool kids have one.  I kinda wish those circlets counted as light armor so they'd work towards the "custom fit" bonus. After I got myself an extra special Dark Brotherhood hood I don't even need my Circlet of Extreme Archery anymore, so now I just carry one around for show. I could also use way more powerful swords than those legendary-improved Blades swords, but it doesn't really matter because with full one-handed skill and relevant damage-increasing perks plus ample damage-increasing apparel, even on Master difficulty one or two dual-wield power attacks will tear basically anything to miniscule bits anyway.

I just picked up the game a couple of days ago. Things are going good and (for the most part) I'm enjoying it. I'm rolling as a Dark Souls pyromancer (fire + axe). Ten hours in and my character is still wearing a set of apprentice robes I found within the first hour of gameplay because of their appearance and their buffs to Magicka restoration. Is there higher-defense armor out there that carries the same aesthetic as the apprentice robes, or am I stuck wearing these rags for the rest of the game? For reference, here's the look I want to preserve. I'm kinda going for a "man spent last decade or so alone in the mountains, practicing his fire magic" vibe:  Edit: Holy hell that was terribly written Karthe fucked around with this message at Dec 15, 2011 around 16:34 |

This is Xelris, my sword and board wannabe nord... high elf. He's a giant rear end in a top hat, and also looks metal as gently caress for a high elf. I wasn't going for a Witcher look but god drat if he didn't come close. Now if you'll pardon me for a bit, I'm going to roleplay this poo poo into the ground. "You should know, good sir, that I am not a man with whom to gently caress."  "Yes I'm serious. How much for this?"  "Now THAT was a night to remember." While we're at it, Xelris would like to enter into the contest for "best weapon names" combo. Despite his badassitude, he's never afraid to show someone Mercy, up close, or kill them with his flawless Kindness.   Backstory: Xelris isn't the brightest dynamo core in the dwemer chest when it comes to the magical arts. He failed out of an Altmer mage college, although not due to lack of initiative, intelligence or time, but because it was found out that during his initiate status he was loving every man, woman and livestock in a day's horse ride, a short-tempered Sadomasochist to boot. The man is obsessed. This eventually forced him into a "research" trip to Skyrim by one of his many scorned lovers (the headmaster... Ouch) wherein he was, according to Xelris, "forced to defend himself via improvised means." "Improvised" meaning the student in question was found with a dwemer forkspoon lodged so far up his rear end he could probably taste it before he died. Thus began Xelris's foray into Skyrim's justice system. Xelris has a peculiar way of things ideologically. He dislikes thieving, not because it's wrong, but because he finds it just as easy to bury his axe in someone's face and take their poo poo without the sneakiness, should it warrant his attention. He considers mages "weak and faggy", enforced by the fact that he's probably the burliest high elf you'll ever see, and partly due to his past experience will avoid the magical arts. He did have aptitude for restoration and raising the dead (mainly because being the incredibly randy rear end in a top hat he is, Xelris could find less "conventional" uses for zombies as well), but these were not the most popular courses at the Thalmor Community College for Magical Underachievers, and thus would have to be something he took up later. He carries a certain respect for thieves, but dislikes their methods and fighting styles... What's the fun of killing something if you can't get a close-up view of their expression when you face-gently caress them with your over-sized dinner knife, after all? Xelris won't go out of his way to murder civilians, more out of laziness than anything. There's plenty of stupid assholes that want to get in his way, and it doesn't really serve him to kill all the people who may be involved in getting him better poo poo, so for the most part this keeps him civil. Unless you piss him off... Xelris absolutely loves it when someone abuses their authority or gives him an excuse, and gives little to no fucks about bounty. ~Play rules~ Xelris will follow a modified shadowknight build. I found my last two characters (a bow rogue and a pure mage) broke the game due to me liking enchanting or alchemy a little too much, so I'm restricting Xelris pretty hard for a better experience. This has made it an absolute blast and my favorite character thus far. It's also goddamn hilarious every single time when his axe murder animation cleaves someone right in the loving face. Crafting -Alchemy Can use potions and poisons, but only those found "in the wild", or bought from vendors. Can only craft potions found on paper recipes. Cannot use perks or "boost" potions that buff enchanting or alchemy. -Enchanting Can enchant, but only basic enchants. Cannot use perks. Must level naturally (no power leveling). Cannot enchant any piece of gear with +smithing any higher than what he's found in the wild. -Smithing No limits, other than the before mentioned boost potions / enchants. Magic -Restoration No limits, but must level naturally. -Conjuration May only use after reaching expert+ in restoration. No Antronachs or daedra/dremora (reanimation only). -Alteration May only level for use with perks, after conjuration is at least adept. No paralysis. No armor spells. No Antronach perk. -No other schools used beyond what is absolutely necessary for questing, other than minor poo poo like clairvoyance or using destruction to set off a magic trap. Thieving and Rogue stuff -Cannot steal beyond what is absolutely necessary for quests, with one special exception... Xelris has a "thing" for skulls and lutes, and will compulsively steal them to furnish his house with. -Cannot stealth for combat usage, only evasion (no backstabs or archer crits) -Archery May only use without limits on "hunting" animals (mainly deer, elk, other noncombats) or to initiate combat. May not use perks in archery. May not use archery in combat EXCEPT for dragons in flight or enemies that cannot otherwise be attacked. -Speechcraft, Must level naturally. Combat -Melee No limits. -Armor No limits, but given Xelris's conceited nature it's highly likely he'll regard anything but the heaviest metal armor as "weak and faggy." Cheating -Lock picking Auto-perked anything related to making lock picking easier (locksmith, master locks, unbreakable in particular), mainly because Skyrim has no option to try and bash open locks as Xelris would be want to do, and I hate the minigame. -Carryweight Large initial bonus to carry weight to make inventory management easier. Didn't like playing with the limits on other characters. Plus Xelris is a beast and should be able to carry a shitload of gear anyway. Plot -Xelris hates Thalmor for the same reason he hates wizards. He will most likely support the empire, if only to get access to more of their swag, and hates the racist nords despite his want to be a nord. Xelris is a very conflicted person and reserves the right to turn on anyone at any time. -Xelris is loyal in marriage, but would insist on the Orc method and would be loyally mated to countless concubines, bitches, and willing/unwilling sex slaves. First mod that allows this will be installed. -Xelris is an Evil rear end in a top hat and his main motivation in life is to be God Emperor Magnate of Evil Assholes in Skyrim. The only reason he's saving the world is so that he can destroy it in his own way, and gently caress Alduin for trying to take what is rightfully his and anyone else who would challenge him. -Like the Predator, Xelris will go out of his way to get skulls. Any time he beheads an opponent in combat, a skull will be added via inventory console command, as soon as I can figure out what the gently caress it is  -Xelris will grudgingly take thief companions, but vastly prefers the melee variety. Caster's are an option if sacrifices are required (they are). One last pic of the last character I had. Alomai, explaining politely to Ulfric that she didn't appreciate his handling of the rebellion.  In case it wasn't obvious... I love this loving game.

Mauzeraut posted:*Xelris selling a corpse and all that other poo poo* Anyways, I played with my second character a bit more. I'm still a bit undecided which skills to focus on, apart from conjuration, illusion and alchemy. Been leveling both one- and two-handed as well as light and heavy armor skills, but haven't invested any perks in any of them. Probably going to end up just making him a total hodgepodge of a bit of everything. Because he is the mighty Ka'Blargo the Addled and he can do what he drat well pleases. "Maybe Khajiit will put this axe into your skull next? No?"  "What was that, Nazeem? You don't think you'll be coming to the Coud District often anymore? Well, tough poo poo."
