Honestly, the Shiv is such a poorly introduced weapon.

It could be a much better weapon if it only had something that made it unique.

The shiv actually has one more advantage. It's small enough to hide away on your body. You could always swing a pickaxe into someones face. But people tend to see that coming.

Some advice: The Destruction perks Augmented Flames/Frost/Shock affect weapon enchantments. The Chaos enchantment (which can sometimes be bought from merchants on Solsteim) is boosted by all three perks. Meaning Chaos Shivs would deal good damage even with little investment. The Bashing perks in the Block tree can be used with a weapon in one hand and nothing in the other. Power Bash, Deadly Bash, and Disarming Bash can be very effective, even with a shiv.

[@Kjf365]

Chaos is guaranteed on the hammer the undead general uses in the ash born quest. It's a unique weapon, but I'm pretty sure you can disenchant it unless I'm just remembering a mod.

[@ianjames1754]

You’re right - you definitely can disenchant the General’s war hammer. It can show up randomly but it seems to be very, very rare. As the weapon itself is unique, I actually thought the Chaos enchantment was also unique and could only be obtained by acquiring the hammer and then disenchanting it.

[@ianjames1754]

I was just writing a comment about the Chaos thing too! The Illusion perk Aspect Of Terror augments fire spells and the Fire Damage enchantment actually compounds the effects of other enchantments though not as significantly as Chaos does. The Chaos Damage enchantment also compounds the effects of enchantments belonging to other schools like Turn Undead, Expel Daedra, Fear and Paralysis. The Turn Undead one becomes more than strong enough to make even the high level Deathlords (especially the archers with matching Ebony bow and arrows that ragdoll you with the Unrelenting Force shout every few seconds) and Death Overlords flee from you. Necromage perk in Restoration will definitely make it more potent but I don’t know if it’s actually necessary after combining with Chaos. I’m not certain on this but I think you only need one school of magic reduced to 0 cost to use a weapon enchanted with different schools of magic without it’s charge depleting, as long as one of the schools the enchantment fails under is the one you have free use of. Could be wrong on this though.

That’s true… But a very weak paralysis poison will almost always work with a decent pickpocket skill level and a couple of Fortify Pickpocket enchanted equipment or potions. Once they’re climbing back to their feet, pickpocket them at this moment before they recover and even though it says the chance of success is 0% - 90% the actual chance is 100% Now you can put OP poisons, weapons or whatever else you want to plant in their inventory or steal anything you want from them! It’s a handy trick to steal large sums of money back from skill trainers. You can Frenzy powerful NPC’s like this if you don’t want to poison a weapon to do it which might kill them (although this is a good trick for killing DB contracts without it being registered as a crime) or you want your target to create a huge drama and start fighting with everyone in sight.

I think that you would've been really well served getting the battleaxe of fiery souls from that one quest. Because it has a soul trap and fire enchantment at the same time. I know that shock damage is superior for the main questline, but that would've let you keep filling up soul gems to refill the enchantments a lot easier, and I'm pretty sure that the DoT from Shock and Fire stack, and enemies on fire take additional damage, which would've been extremely useful with the shivs being as fast as they are.

You can beat Skyrim with a magic enhanced fork. Skyrim runs are basically “what bugs will happen and cause shenanigans?”

All the scuffed other plans was just God Howard's hand guiding you towards another Skyrim run.

Alright, i was expecting a crossbow or a woodcutter's axe only, but this definitely caught me off guard

[@nathanfivecoate5848]

Ymfah already did "Bow" Only and Bow "Only". I'd be interested to see Can You Beat Skyrim with only tools (pickaxe and woodcutters axe, shovel too ig if you want Telekinesis)

[@daviddragonheart6798]

Crossbow is just a bow run with some added flair, but you cant upgrade it outside of quests. Woodcutters Axe was an idea I humored myself, but it seems like the woodcutter axe is treated differently than regular axes, and just like the pickaxe and shiv, wouldnt benefit from anything but Armsman perks.

You can beat Skyrim with anything, it's even easier with restoration

[@spiralphoenix9839]

You can beat Skyrim with any weapon. This is a well known fact.

A few days back i had this idea and now its on my recomended

[@TheNIConnection]

See what you should have done is downloaded a mod that allows you to start your own bandit gang, name such gang "the timbers" and, specifically when challenged by a female opponent, simply say " shiv her me timbers"

Lightning shivs... you lost your chance to name your character Shiv Palpatine

[@henrywyckoff4301]

Outstanding. Loved seeing this playthrough. Here's a challenge for you: you have to beat the Skyrim main quest without weapons -- armor is ok, unarmed is ok and the flames spell is ok (or whatever default destruction spell you get depending on your chosen race) -- but you have to use Jordis as your follower. And once you get her as a follower, you can't do any offensive spell or attack in any form. Why? Because everyone seems to hate on her. Oh, and you have to play as a wood elf.

If you go back to Eltrys everytime you find new info he will pay you for each bit of it. If he dies before you talk to him he obviously can't. But you can loot his corpse if you have a companion, either tell them to loot him, or use a telekinesis glitch to drag his body to you.
