⁠@@christophertaylor9100I wish they just didn’t make the dragonborn archmage. Even with her dead, it makes no sense. Surely the one of the professors would make a better archmage than the dragonborn, who may not even use magic and who is obviously going to leave the college to pursue bigger things. They could’ve at least given you the option to turn it down and give it to someone else, like that mod does.

[@Chisszaru]

That last one made me laugh. That really is how you become agod without becoming a god. The Thalmor wouldn't like you though, as they'd want to know your current location to put your corpse on a pike, or turn it into ash with magic, but luckily for us, we're the dragonborn, and depending on which side you pick in the Skyrim civil war, either has the Empire or the Stormcloaks on your side, but it's always better to side with the Empire, because the Thalmor can't lay their glubby little fingers on you, as that would start a new war between the Empire and Aldmeri Dominion, which the elves would lose, because the Empire now has a dragonborn on their side. Plus, it's the quickest way to truly re-unite Skyrim, and because pretty much everyone hates the Thalmor, elves, humans, Khajiits and Argonians would flock to the Empire. I've seen what the Empire is capable of doing when they really want to put their enemies down.

I knew about the whale bones in Kagrenzel, but on the PS5 I can't use console commands, so seeing them up close is difficult. However, there is another place to see the bones of a "flying whale," and that's the bridge to the Hall of Heroes in Sovngarde! Much more up-close and personal.

[@guyhogan4882]

Honestly. I like being a vampire as a warrior class. During the night your physical stats get a slight buff w/out being transformed. And if I need mid to long range, the transformed blood magic gets pretty OP since it has splash dmg and heals you also. Likewise as a mage I found werewolf useful for close range, if I'm getting mobbed I can simply transform and start tearing stuff up. Think it's counter productive to use a magic based transformation with a magic based character, and melee transformation with melee character. The transformation becomes redundant pretty quick after midgame otherwise, as you get pretty OP without any buffs from the subspecies. Just my opinion.

[@ShrockWPS]

At level 62 I can melt enemies so fast compared to when I transform to my vampire lord form. Also the fact I can get staggered is so trigging. Granted I don't have all the perks yet, so I'll see if it's better when I have it maxed.

[@BRS_Stella]

[@SethMorris-iw6qx]

You can also heal during brawls and no one says anything. Also the fortify alchemy works much better as a fortify restoration potion as well since enchantments are considered restoration. It's also cheaper on soul gems

[@Rorschachqp]

Eorland Gray-Mane is an old guy and I believe it's a plot point that after enough in game time, he passes away from natural causes after you finish the Companions questline since he gives no more quests and supposedly Kodlak's spirit gives you the ability to make better steel. He also dies to any random dangers if that danger (vampires, Miraak followers, thief, etc.) deals enough damage to him.

[@ShrockWPS]

He dies naturally? I'll have to keep that in mind. I'm level 63 now but only recently completed the Companions line. I've never seen Eorland die in any of my playthroughs though so I always assumed he was invulnerable.

[@Rorschachqp]

@@ShrockWPS I play a lot with the vendors so when a vendor goes missing in several playthroughs, I notice.

​@@Rorschachqp Well, I looked into it and seems that many people have him killed off either during dragon attacks or just randomly. Doesn't look like he dies naturally though, he just happens to be killed for one reason or another.

On your #9, there's also two rubies for eyes on one of those hanging skeletons.

[@ASCARNAZ]

There's an easier (and cheaper) way to do the fortify loop, if you enchant something with fortify alchemy then create a fortify restoration potion, drink it, then reequip your fortify alchemy gear, you'll find that the enchantment is ever so slightly stronger, so you make another fortify restoration potion drink it, reequip, higher numbers. The restoration loop is much faster and less resource intensive than the fortify loop. One thing to note, avoid the yellow flowers added with the Dawnguard DLC, they might let you make fortify restoration potions with higher scaling, but for some reason it doesn't stack, so it won't go above a certain threshold

[@okalosomylos780]

[@normal6483]

Necromage doesn't just increase Restoration, it increases the effectiveness of *all* magic against you. That includes enemy Destruction spells, but it also includes things like Standing Stones and Perks. Just grab the Atranoch Stone and the Atranoch perk from the Alteration tree and you'll gain 100% spell absorption. This is one of 2 ways to receive 100% spell absorption, rendering you immune to all hostile magic, (as well as your own summoning spells and a bunch of other random effects,) so it makes vampires one of the strongest late-game options. The other way to get 100% absorption is via the Fortify Restoration loop, but that's broken for its own reasons.

I figured out the fortify exploit on my own but with smithing and alchemy maybe to make stronger smithing potions I thought it was just a feature of the game I ended up making swords that could one hit anything in the game. The only thing I ever had trouble with was the ebony knight. I also found that exploit with the one book you get from hermia before they patched it.

[@Srioll]

Number 15 you missed the most egregious part of the fortify resto loop - the restoration bit. 1. Equip a ring of fortify alchemy 2. Create fortify restoration potion 3. Take fortify restoration potion 4. Unequip and reequip the alchemy ring. Each time you do this, it'll get more powerful. This is due to how fortify restoration, potions and alchemy work. 5. Make an even stronger fortify restoration potion and repeat. 6. Finally, make a fortify enchanting potion.

#15 can be even faster; rather than making new alchemy gear over and over, just make a Restoration buffing potion, drink it, unequip and reequip the alchemy gear, make another restoration potion, and continue that cycle 5-10 times, but don't get greedy, the numbers can go negative if you go too high. Then, make a TON of Restoration potions that are super powered-, use them to make better enchanting potions, and uber enchant ALL you gear however you want.

Skyrim. The land of the Nords, a realm of towering mountains and ancient ruins, where dragons once roamed the skies and heroes were forged in the fires of battle. The cold winds howl through the valleys, carrying whispers of forgotten legends and the echoes of a time when the Throat of the World was alive with the roar of mighty beasts. In the heart of this vast expanse lies the city of Whiterun, a bustling hub of trade and adventure, where the Companions stand ready to defend the realm. The taverns brim with tales of valor, and the streets are filled with merchants hawking their wares. Here, the player embarks on a journey, facing perilous quests and forging alliances with diverse factions, from the stealthy Dark Brotherhood to the noble College of Winterhold. As the sun sets behind the mountains, casting a golden hue over the landscape, the call of adventure beckons. Will you wield the power of the Thu'um, mastering the ancient dragon shouts, or will you delve into the dark arts of necromancy? The choice is yours in this land of dragons, magic, and endless possibilities. The fate of Skyrim hangs in the balance, waiting for a hero to rise.
