Skyrim - Top 5 Playstyles

At 63 I still play Skyrim often. My obsession started when Oblivion came out. I stood in line at midnight on 11.11.11 just so I could race home at 1am to play Skyrim. This video brought back so many memories. Thank you. Ten thousand bows of gratitude.

Try using conjuration for combat instead of destruction, i think you'll find that overall it's more useful as summons protect you, and cost less magicka over time. Conjuration also does more damage.

How the hell do you guys enjoy playing Two-handed character? For me personally is the most boring playstyle why? You deal so much damage and that's about it you just swing your weapon and kill cam the enemy repeat. I really want to play and immerse myself with 2 handed but I just can't. Because after I complete a dungeon I always feels bored after clicking R2 for the whole time. Atleast One-handed can use shield or dual wield. Archer can be either stealth archer or combat archer and destruction has different type of new spells. Kinda sad 2 handedjust plain and simple role.

[@nzfuryr34]

The game wants you to play two handers. Heavy armor + shouts + BIG SWORDS. Fast, fun and satisfying. It's how I imagine someone called the "Dragonborn". Instead of a sneak using magic or a bow? No. Straight into the fight swinging so that I may die worthy of SOVNGARDE!!

[@johnwallydubria5963]

@@nzfuryr34 yes I understand the main characteristics of Dragonborn is based on nords since they are the main race of skyrim. My point is becuase Im doing every class/build in legendary, add story for roleplay and overall enjoy skyrim. And ive done onehanded shield,combat and sneak archer, a pyro mage, cyro mage and even stormmage. But I just cant do 2handed builds. Yes there's the badass fully equiped with deadric armor and weapons who can kill and conquer everyone but the only thing you do is press R2 to kill everybody and repeat and thats just it. Keep in mind that im also a fully vanilla player because mods not for me and I collect trophies. I just kinda wish they did more with the 2 handed. Lets say they added a perk where every 20 increase in lvl lets you increase your 2handed attackspeed or a perk where dragonborn can perform a spinning swing a circular motion of a power attack for axes,warhammers powerattack can break armor or shields literally removing armor from their inventory leaving them expose and greatswords can power stab piercing through enemy armor and body. This small perks changes 2 handed playstyle and add more to than just pressing R2 powerattack then kill. Yes there are extra perks per 2handed weapons but those 3 perks sucks only 8 perks and only 5 is decent. Compare to onehanded archer or destruction 2handeds kinda plain and boring.

My favorite is the Spell Sword, with a focus on Destruction (specializing in Fire Magic), One Handed (specializing in Swords), Restoration and Light Armor. You can of course use other One Handed Weapons and Destruction Elements (or even another school of magic in the place of Restoration), but I just love this kind of "Holy Knight" Build.

Yes, in the lore it is suggested that all of the original 500 Atmorans were of giant stature, so much so that Ysgramor carried a double-bladed battle axe with one hand and a shield in the other. It is made of ebon tears that Ysgramor shed on the night the elves burned the 1st Nord settlement. Using lightning to heat the tears and the ocean's swell to cool them, Yngol forged the mighty axe during the night and presented it to his father the next morning. Ysgramor cried out in joy, sadness, and rage and there on the deck of the ship he named the axe Wuuthrad, meaning "Storm's Tears". He also used it to slay Sinmur the chieftan of the giant clans of Skyrim, and hundreds of his kin.

Most of the time when I make new characters, I go with the classic 'Nazeem imposter build'. I create a redguard male character, I then go straight to Whiterun and assassinate Nazeem. I steal his clothes and items and live peacefully in the cloud district. It's always fun at the start, but I find it hard to level up, considering how Nazeem is someone who never engages in combat or crafts items. I was wondering if you had any tips on how to make this build more effective?

[@jaydem3815]

Neil Dodd you might want to try asking people if they get to the cloud district

[@neildodd1319]

*UPDATE* I have been playing this build for quite sometime now. All was going well until recently, when the people of Whiterun began taking notice to me. Rumors began to spread that I might not be the real Nazeem, and that I killed him in order to sleep with his wife and inherit his farm. The rumors were true. A half dozen guards came knocking on Chillfurrow Farm's door one night in an attempt to arrest me. I grabbed my dagger and killed two of the guards, but I was outmatched. After stealing a horse from the stables, I am now hiding out in Riften, down in the Ratway. Does anyone have any advice on how to get out of my predicament?

[@klo1679]

My favorite build is greatsword executioner, grab a greatsword, put all your perks into that tree, and just tank everything, While doing immense damage. Add in the powers of modding to get one single thing, more decapitation animations, means you’re more deadly and get shit done quicker. And it’s not a balance breaking mod either, it just makes those decapitations more common. My other favorite is definitely dual war axes and the fire breath shout and an amulet of talos, just melt enemies and than chop em to tiny pieces. This paired with fire damage increases, means you can clear full hallways in seconds. Add on faster swing rate on the axes and fire damage on them, and nothing can stand in your way

Report to a guard in solitude and finish the quest. Join the imperial legion and play out that quest as an assassin. 3) True Nord (Viking) - pretty much speaks for itself. 2) Orc Berserker (Urukai) - again, speaks for itself. 1) Wood Elf Ranger - command animal lends itself to the nature aesthetic of a ranger - variant of stealth archer that is less focused on stealth and more focused on exploration, hunting and gathering. No fast travel or hiring wagons so get horse early.

That twin axes orc loading screen sure got some love ^^, looks badass as hell tbh

Lol I'm actually #2. I play an Orc with maxed out sneak, light armor and two-handed.

Naively started this game super late not having a clue what build to make. Carefully decided on my own and came up with my first build. A conjuration warrior. I can attest that it feels wonderful.

[@discount1493]

My play style: get everysingle daedric artifact

[@XDKvlogs]

so basically a Daedra build, consider the conjure daedra spell too, might help, also if you play on pc, make jarl elisif non essential and kill her, stormcloaks will start saying stuff like the daedric princes must be on our side! or something to that effect. it's a pretty cool set up

[@manaphy0993]

What about aedric artifacts

[@manaphy0993]

How many are there other than auriel's bow and the staff of magnus

[@jonathanlevy6988]

Favorite build is the "Stealth Bomber" Requires sneak, destruction, alteration, illusion. Invisibility and sneak into enemy camps, with silent casting no one notices you, use master-level spell like blizzard, mass paralysis, fire blast, mayhem, etc. Then once it goes off, invisibility again and watch the shit hit the fan

[@jonathanlevy6988]

Also, the "stealth" barbarian is good for a laugh. All you need is whatever warrior abilities you want, plus a high-powered illusion for pacify. Great for thieves guild questlines, you basically hit the with the spell, it's like yelling "YOU DO NOT SEE ME" and having it work as you stroll through camp

[@patrickb1502]

Seems fun and effective. However, wouldn't be difficult in the early game?

[@tjknight]

Trying illusion master for the first time and having a blast, this will be my first Mage build. I also like to combine this with destruction runes and healing hands to either kill the survivor of my frenzy spells or let my follower finish off a small group while keeping them topped off with health.

[@Cybernaut76]

I am not sure but you may sooner or later run into a situation where illusion does not do all the heavy lifting for you so it is wise to also develop other powers (such as destruction) a bit too.

[@bridget665]

I inevitably end up as a stealth archer who collects potatoes in barrels for some reason.

I’ve watched this over 50 times and still wondering what build to do

[@vg4288]

YouFoundD spellsword - one handed, light armor, destruction, enchanting

[@paulk6399]

I haven’t played Skyrim in at least 2 years but that mind control build makes me wanna boot it back up

2-hand mage in robes

[@Petrichor206]

Base your character off of anime heroes or villains. It’s fun to do. I base mine off of Overlord.

[@kellanmcgrath7033]

Paul K big facts except I still play almost everyday

[@xSSxTejas]

illusion/ conjuration mage is my favorite. Go into a dungeon, summon a couple atronachs, cast mayhem, then invisibility with a dagger. just let everyone go at eachother and hide in the corner lol

[@potnoodles4life171]

I've always been a stealth archer/ restoration greatsword warrior. Makes the game so fun and easy

[@toreole2993]

5??? There is only one tho? I have completed 7 playthroughs as stealth archer as only style, and now youre trying to tell me that theres more than that? No way.

[@HectorJimenez-ee9zi]

Heavy armor+shield+destruction magic. It's much more fun than it sounds

[@ΝικοςΚαλαμακης-ν6κ]

[@hakont.4960]

Nah, I seem to almost always end up carrying a big heavy warhammer or greatsword and literally crush my enemies.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

it's two heavily enchanted daggers for me. have one be ice/shock and the other paralysis.

[@portal7675]

Puny archers just use a shield that can deny arrow damage

[@gourukemu]

That's what happens to me with mage :D

[@stefancochrane2723]

Thanks! I know this video is a while ago, but my favorite build is using the Ritual stone and the Aetherial Crown to summon undead armies. There's nothing like beating the boss in Bleak Falls Barrow with a bunch of undead skeevers.

[@therealfirelord3359]

Yeah but he seems partial to The Dark Brotherhood, so killing Astrid wouldn't be in his best interests. I for one can't wait to massacre them all.

[@DustyRaider]

Kylie Chappel you don’t have to kill astrid, soon as you join the dark brotherhood she gives you the armour (including gloves)

[@andybethurum8296]

My play through was a mix between the stealthy archer and the assassin. Made myself a full on ninja and it was dope.

[@BlazingNuggets13]

I've always been keen on the battle mage. A one handed weapon, and either a bound weapon, atronoch, destruction spell, with heavy armor is just so satisfying to me.
