I said I had lots of crap, here are screenshots of my level 22 thief's weapon storage:

Not all of them are all that great, but just look at the PRICE of some of them! Also, look at the little slider on the right side, I have about 20 screenshots of my armor. I'm just too lazy to upload all of them.

I have read a few things regarding leveling and found what appears to be a “messed up” build is actually the best for “controlled leveling” This method is based on these facts:

• You need to raise any combination of your major skills by ten to level
• Upon leveling the bonus modifier is based on how many skills that use the attribute leveled divided by 2. For example if you leveled alchemy by 10 before leveling you will have a +5 modifier for intelligence upon leveling.
• Raising both major and/or minor skill will effect the modifier

So in essence you are rewarded for placing the skills related to attributes you interested as minor instead of major. For major skills you would place skills which you can control when they increase. For example you could place heavy armor as a primary skill if you only intend to wear light armor or cloth. An example of seven skills I would select as major on a mage build are:

Hand to hand (strength)
Blunt (strength)
Security (Agility)
Marksman (Agility)
Mercantile (Personality)
Heavy Armor (Endurance)
Speechcraft (Personality)

As a caster I really want to increase intelligence, endurance, and willpower so with this build I could make sure I have increase my minor skills related to those by 10 each so that when I level I would get a +5 modifier for each. In practice I would execute my minor skills a ton to increase them so that I achieve the +10. Upon reaching that I would execute my major skills to level them +10 which will trigger the character to level. Using this you could receive +5 every time you level but it does required some bookkeeping to track how much you are leveling the minor so you know when to work on the majors.

Not sure how much fun it would be to level a character in this way but it would definitely be effective. My current character is built the opposite but I may use this method when I start a new one.

Hopefully this rambling makes sense

This is random, but enchanting Items in the mages guild is fun.

Also, I have found a mod for the game that places enchant/spell creation stations in every guild hall. If you want the link posted, just ask in the topic and I will put it in here.

I got it yesterday and, well, it sure as hell is fun even if it runs slower then a turtle on my computer. I should be getting a new video card next week sometime so I'll be able to truly play it then.

Corus made me run out and buy it tonight for the PC and after only playing for about 5 hours, I'm amazed. There is so much shit to do in this game and its so much fun.

I had a Blades set but then guards in another city arrested me and they took it away. I must say, becoming Grand Champion in the Imperial City Arena is hard as fuck, but it's very rewarding. You get a Valor Ramient that has a hella lot of resists and looks good too.

If you get arrested, you can get your stuff back... Just pop open the Evidence chest.

Whats the big deal about this game again? I remember there was some very important aspect that other games have overlooked if im not mistaken

Hey Monkey

That same woman's head is sitting on my table in my Dark Brotherhood lair. I took over the Vampire's spot.

Does that make us bad people, framing a guy's moms head?
