You can give them any Daedric Shrine artefact, it doesnt have to be the star..  although I didnt know what it was foreither and so I gave that away instead of the hammer or some of the other crap you can get.

 

 

The funny thing is that you don't have to worry about how your attribute points spread out. No matter what, you're going to get through the game, unless it's too difficult for you, which is when you lower the difficulty setting.

 

You're still taking an awful lot of time and text trying to explain how the game "forces" you to meta-game. It doesn't. You choose to meta-game because you see those shiny +3 and +5 multipliers and forget that you can still choose the attribute you wanted, even though it only gives +1.

 

Getting a mere +1 in Intelligence at levelup mean you wont be able to chuck out those spells who cost upwards 500 Mana to cast.

 

I chose Restoration and Destructionas my class magic schools.. bad move since neither one causes INT to rise, and so I have only about 110 Mana at level 17

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I had that same problem. I used Alchemy to get the +5 modifiers to my INT. The poisons came in handy during combat, especially at higher levels. It's a pretty good source of cash too.

Conjuration is good, too. That's what I've been using to up my INT.

Best ways to spam multipliers is probaly either; buying every store empty of ingredients and making alchemy which also gives you a ton of money, or summoning stuff and then spamming block and armor skill by getting the creature to attack you.

 

I always have 5x in Intelligence and Endurance when I level.

I've done that a few times in the Arena bloodworks to train form my next fight. But usually it was all from field work and I still got +5 multipliers. I never upped intelligence, though, because I needed the physical stats more at the time.

[taks]

Yeah, really. If you don't know what it does and give it up thinking it's just a trinket.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

actually, i knew what it was, but i thought the main quest was more important. i also did not realize that my swords would last one or two fights and that's it. total joke.

 

taks

[Cantousent]

The good thing is, even depleted, your magic sword still affects undead.

They couldn't have made it that useless warhammer or anything?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Thats what I gave him

 

What clued me in about the star was where it was stored in the inventory.

Lvl 29 and only ONCE got a x5. Never saw a +4...

 

Bugs?

Sun Burn when clouded, with heavy rain and thunder?

Hrota cave abonded, free looting space?

"Quest not updating" also happens with Buy spell NOT with refill enchanted item

Skeletons who have been knocked back may loose some limbs who magically return

Gin-Wulm has "Imperial City" twice after talking about "Training"

When entering the fort for the

Gray Prince background quest

I was informed of a presence of terrible evil and that I had to be on my guard. Why did my lvl 28 only meet Rats and Timber Wolfs then?

Some guard in Bruma managed to get himself INSIDE a staircase...

There are some unreachable people in the Arena Bloodworks... Detect Life sees them, but there is no way to them...

Umm...that place was full of vampires last time I looked. And I was level 5 then.

Really?

I had met 3 Vampires in the Burial Grounds but the beginmap where the questobjective is and where they told me about the terrible evil there were those Wolfs all over the place...

[alanschu]

This reminds of of the people that hated Howard Stern when he first came on the air.

[Kaftan Barlast]

Conjuration is good, too. That's what I've been using to up my INT.

The problem is that as I dont have conjuration or mysticism as class skills, I only have about 8-15 in them and you need a minimum of 25 for even the lowest spells from those schools

[alanschu]

Really? I could have sworn I found spells in those schools to cast to improve my skill in them.

There should be some basic spells for each.

 

Minor detect life for mystiscism. Bound dagger for conjuration. Luckily it dosnt take long to get to 25. Once you start constantly summoning a skeleton conjuration goes up quite nicely.

[Kaftan Barlast]

Its probably just me thats being an idiot. Which magic guilds specialise in Conjuration and Mysticism?

Bound Dagger and Bound Helmet in tandem, Rest, rinse, repeat.

 

I've been using my zombie summon for most of the game

 

Where can I get mor substantive summons? (headless zombie?)

[WinterSun]

A quick way to increase magic skills is to head through an Oblivion gate and get to the portal tower. At the top there should be two mana fountains. Cast whatever minor spell you have until your mana runs out, recharge it from the fountain, then while recharges, run to the other fountain and repeat.

Its easier to jus wait an hour.

I don't really like waiting too often. It takes away from any urgency in the story.

[mkreku]

Why are you making this great game sound like work?

[Tigranes]

Powergaming .

[WinterSun]

Oh, I'd rather not powergame my mysticism up, but I don't really want to schlep back to town every five minutes to get my sword recharged. It's just easier (and cheaper) this way.

[Kaftan Barlast]

After running around casting "bound helmet" and "minor life detection" for 20min it just hit me that I could just bring down the console and increase my Int to a reasonable level instead.

[alanschu]

lol

[Musopticon?]

Is it just me or does the system seem broken?
