i was just about to play Skyrim today. What a coincidence.

Thief is my preferred choice.

I have a guide on my PuppyPaws account that might help you.
You need to look at the Bosmer one for the perfect thief setup.

that's the most thiefie MacThief character ever
Tyranid

but why no speechcraft?

it's a passive gain and the perks just make it better.
just buy and sell a bunch of stuff, you don't actually need the tree at all.
ChellEdge

especially since you have a ton of stuff from stealing it

wasted points though

i think the game is made for the thief which is a shame because i really wanted to be a wizard but it was never worth it.

i'll try this thief setup thanks.
Bosmer are also cool to pretend to be a goat if you wear the goat fur armor.
everyone talks like you're a hunter-gatherer in the forest that preys on people.
that's what i want to be.

there's also a hide helmet with horns which you can get from the fallen whiterun guards when the dragon attacks the watchtower.

there's several other helmets with horns but they might not look quite right and the hide gloves and boots suit the fur, especially with the kilted armor.
DeerGoat

i don't think any helmets look good so i'll just go without
JohnSamer98
5 years, 11 months ago
with the defense cap that's totally acceptable.
DillanRam

i think the hide helmet with the horns looks okay.

what fighting style do you think suits a goat?
i see a lot of goat mages in fantasy stuff but i always thought of a goats being a warrior class.
JohnSamer98
5 years, 10 months ago
well i think blunt weapons are more like a goat because goats tend to ram enemies instead of stab them with their horns like cows do.

i personally prefer hammers or maces if there is that option in a game.
i've previously said why two-handed is better in skyrim than any combination of one-handed weapon with something else and better than duel wielding the melee weapons as well.

it's the range and base power that does it.
one-handed just isn't fast enough to make it worthwhile when you count the damage overall.
DillanRam
5 years, 10 months ago
yeah. it's pretty awkward to get a clear hit with one-handed when you're fighting up close and personal.
and two-handed can hit multiple enemies at once if you get crowded.

i've always played as an archer though.
i guess i'm just used to first person shooters.
JohnSamer98

i like how nobody wants to be the mage class.

i'm pretty poor at FPS's so instead i tend to do melee.
polehammer is definitely my style, in and out of game.
DillanRam
5 years, 10 months ago
duel wielding crossbows is the best thing ever.
JohnSamer98
5 years, 10 months ago
i'll take your word for it.
i've been avoiding the dawnguard missions.
DillanRam
5 years, 10 months ago
why?
you know you don't have to be undead for those right?

it's a great mission chain.
lots of cool gear, new levels, new enemies.
you're missing out.
JohnSamer98
5 years, 10 months ago
well actually since i'm combat leveling up to the damage cap i wanted to collect zephyr.
it's a really fast bow and with my skills up it'll have equal power to daedric weaponry.
can you imagine the fastest bow in the game dealing that much damage.
i'll be unstoppable.
DillanRam
5 years, 10 months ago
i think your nerdome went over my head
JohnSamer98
5 years, 10 months ago
ahem *unlimited power* + *speed of a puma* = *happy goat*
DillanRam
5 years, 10 months ago
lol okay
YangEve
5 years, 10 months ago
i agree with jay.
if you wanna have fun playing the game you want something very simple and for me that's the melee stuff.
ZolaDole
5 years, 6 months ago
people are like onions
TetsujinShi
5 years, 11 months ago
i hear gunfire
ChellEdge
5 years, 11 months ago
skyrim can be played in multiple ways. that's the beauty of it.
with a damage and defense cap it also means you can either smith better gear or just level up your combat skjills.
Zorball
5 years, 11 months ago
she knows
ZolaDole
5 years, 6 months ago
never smith you fool
TetsujinShi
5 years, 5 months ago
yeah the shop sells good enough gear.
just level combat skills instead
SamStone
5 years, 11 months ago
i hear no-one who max levels plays mage, why?
DillanRam
5 years, 10 months ago
because you need to collect books for it to work and it's just a bunch of time wasting.
JohnSamer98
5 years, 10 months ago
also the spell's power levels off before the damage cap.
DillanRam
5 years, 10 months ago
well that sucks
Kokonotsu
5 years, 10 months ago
splash damage kills innocents and allies as well
ZolaDole
5 years, 6 months ago
you rely on a combination of stalling tactics on your enemies so your spells chip the health down.

ironic considering it starts as the highest attack power method.
DillanRam
5 years, 5 months ago
that's why there's no skyrim multiplayer.

mages would be hell-annoying.
MiaMon

warrior! warrior! warrior!
everything else is broken
RENISHKAH

ZolaDole
5 years, 6 months ago
but that sweet stealth bonus
DillanRam
5 years, 5 months ago
it's fucked in TESO.
can't steal shit.

you need to constantly buy lockpicks and open treasure chests to get your skill up and it's boring as shit.
DJchan
5 years, 7 months ago
thief is the best yes.
ZolaDole
5 years, 6 months ago
first max the stealth and then the game begins
DillanRam
5 years, 5 months ago
it's the only set of skills actually required.

you don't need to be a mage or warrior for any missions.
UltimateVersus
5 years, 7 months ago

mages or warriors in warcraft?
ZhuXiao
5 years, 6 months ago
why thief and not warrior?

someone explain.
RENISHKAH

I think they think the whole stealing mechanic is useful.

you never need to pickpocket, you never need to lockpick.
there's nothing in chests you need, you don't need to break into anyone's homes either by lockpicking or stealing a key and there's never anything worthwhile on people to steal.
alchemy makes so much damn money in the first place there's no need for anything else.

the game has a damage cap and a defense cap so the earliest armor and weapons is all you need and light armor and one handed match the same output as heavy armor and two handed in the end.
light armor and one handed has perks heavy gear doesn't have anyway like carry weight and attack speed.

archery is way to slow and hasn't enough splash damage to hit enemies up close nor does stealth work up close until you max it out.
dungeons REQUIRE you to fight up close anyway.

since speechcraft is a passive gain, you'll run out of points for ALL the thief skills.
don't say not to put points in speechcraft because then you're just wasting experience because you stop levelling at 100.

only good thing thieves get is a ridiculous stealth boost so you can literally stand in front of enemies and shoot them and nobody notices.
ZolaDole
5 years, 6 months ago
all you have to do is wander for hours to get that stealth up and then the game is super awesome.

bows are hella useful then.

be dedicated.
