Though to be perfectly honest if she could spend more time looking like this she would. Massacring everybody in whatever camp or keep I happen to stumble upon, and eating them? Yeah no problem, no problem.

Very nice. What's your build?

Nothing special, I tend to avoid min-maxing, it's an attitude that ruins my fun. Primarily invested in destruction/restoration, with a hefty amount of heavy armor, one handed, alchemy and enchanting. I usually have him wearing heavy armor boots and gauntlets and a mage-boosting robe, and the helmet/mask/hood changes depending on what's available.

Next up for fun is my gorgeous Nord blonde who shoots things and conjures things.

Here's my dirty nord mercenary. As with every TES game I'm trying and squeeze every plotline into one playthrough, but so far I'm enjoying her strange character arc of scummy sellsword to lycanthrope to thief/murderer for hire to power-mad battlemage to godqueen of skyrim

Magic.

Really, I don't know. Facial hair does seem to cover it up a bit, but it's more like overlaying stuff on to the lines instead of removing it. Lighting angle also might be a factor.

Here's 3 more shots of Zalbain: Imperial Paladin. I got extremely lucky when I attempted to take photo shoots on a farm, in that a random dragon decided to fight me.

He will hit you with a mace.

He will slice you with a sword.

Either way things die.

I posted my dude at the bottom of page 2 for reference.

Here's what I've noticed. Jaw Height is important, and anything more than around 20% of the way to the right, you've got jowls. You don't want jowls. Chin Length doesn't need to be anything over half the bar if you want to look normal. Mouth Height will give different expressions to the same Mouth Type. Don't pick droopy eyes. Turn Complexion, and the Chin/Laugh Lines/Forehead/Nose/Cheek colors to 0/all the way left. Eye Tint will also make your dude look old.

E:

Please don't think that the middle of the bar is normal or default. Honestly, the far left is probably default. This dude literally has 0 chin length, full mouth height, full chin width and nearly full jaw width, and 0 jaw height. Look through the presets and take note (not literally) of how certain skin tones have certain coloration differences. Click through and look and the old man faces, and realize what makes them look old. Also note that the generator is very approximate, and things will very much look different in game.

Oh I'm not doing much. Just hunting for some Dragons to introduce to the cold steel of my two handed warhammer. We do things true Norse style up in Skyrim.



Since this picture I have replace the helmet with a horned helmet kind of like the box art. I am about level 10 and working on my Smithing to turn all of my dragon bones into dragon armor so I can just tank everyone.

I think it came with the child killing mod. You can make playable kids in the character creation. The downside is they don't regen health or mana, and while you can wear anything, nothing shows up on your character, so that's creepy. On the upside, however, dovakinder.

I remade him- the other one was a bit young looking.

I already have a sword and board/resto character, so I think he's going to be non-magic-using two-hander with light armor, but he's only going to wear what he's got on (stormcloak cuirass, leather bracers and boots) and smithing/alchemy/enchanting enough to take his steel greatsword up to whatever the max damage it can get to. Should be a decent challenge.

If I get bored I can always have him get destruction to consume the Imperials with balls of fire from his eyes and lightning bolts from his arse.

I focus mostly on Alteration. Obviously you can't kill with just alteration so I use Daggers, Bows, and sneak attacks. And gently caress armour! Ebony and Dragon skin all the way!



On the note of dragons; where the hell are they? I am L32 with 13 shouts and the only dragon I've fought was a bone dragon! I also wonder why the game gave me heart scales for stabbing the dead remains of the bone dragon with the heartscale-dagger-thingy...

I am going to make a character that uses the unarmed fighting perk and the bonus unarmed enchantment. I can't figure out who I wanna base my character on though. My current ideas- Balrog, Jason Statham, Porter (Mel Gibson in Payback), Sherlock Holmes RDjr version, or Kimbo Slice.

A few days old but if you watch any South Park you have to go with Russell Crowe.

I had big plans for him to be a master sneak and thief but it turns out he can't reach things on top shelves without jumping, which tends to attract attention.

Just pick up and move any items you can't reach by sneaking, then drop them on the floor, or in a dark corner for stealing.

There are a couple perks in Heavy Armor and in Two-Handed, but other than that there is nothing. Oh and if you're Khajeet(sp?) you get +15 damage with H2H attacks. It's another think that irritates me about Skyrim. No H2H skill... Really?!

I imagine if you had a high enchanting level, the Heavy Armor H2H perk and the Gloves of the Pugilist to disenchant you could apply it to some Dragonbone gauntlets and punch dragons to death.

edit/ I am actually currently working towards this on my Altmer monk, but I want to find some gloves I can enchant that aren't really gloves. Don't want my monk dude to have big silly gauntlets

Thanks! And yeah, I was torn between Breton and Altmer but I like how my Altmer looks like some sort of ancient Chinese sorcerer or philosopher dude.

No, with all the perks a fully smithed set of daedric gloves, khajit, and a piece of jewelry along with gloves enchants does a crap ton of damage. Without the heavy armor or cat bonus, all you have is the 2 enchants.

Someone posted in another thread that only the base armor on gloves was modifying unarmed damage, i.e. smithing bonuses don't help.
