Meh. Daedric artifacts look nice hanging on a wall or chillin' in a display case, but they're too heavy to be practical.

Sticking with Steel Plate Armor. Makes me look like the kind of guy who stabs Dremora for a living. >:P

I've mostly stuck to the base stormcloak uniform. The one that looks like a guard outfit.

Nothing usually lives long enough to hurt me anymore.

Two weapon fighting is horrifyingly destructive.

At one point, were the game not scripted to stop me, I could have ended the whole civil war. Tullius head on a platter, Jarl Elisif roasted alive on her throne Solitude full of the corpses of legionairs and guards....

Oops, posted in the wrong thread. Stupid tabs...

Take a one-handed weapon in each hand, charge up as close as you can possibly get, and then start chopping at its legs as quickly as possible. If you're really, really close, then it's hard for it to hit you; it's also very slow, so it should be staggered more or less continuously by your assault. Just keep up the pressure, and soon enough it goes down.

Not if you get that heavy armor perk. There's one that makes heavy armor weigh nothing at all.

"Conditioning".

Huh... That's a good point.

Well, still, the weapons are heavy and they still look better on display than other weapons.

Might have to think about it before using them. :?

I have other games for the PC. They crash and freeze all of the time. PCs are unpredictable and unreliable in my experience.

Consoles can crash and freeze too. Recall the RROD problems the eggsbawx had.

I used Marked For Death and stuck the bastard full of the best arrows I had to hand. If memory serves you can get in a few good shots when it stops to use that poison breath attack. You know, after you get out of its way. I think I used Beserker Rage too.

Heh, when I was looking at that perk before I could get it, I assumed that all heavy armour would have zero weight. I guess that would have been a bit excessive.

I have a level 77 Imperial and I am downloading a mod for "Lord Armour", it has the same stats as the daedric one. But should I stick to my dragonplate?

Or dwarven.

You have to be wearing the armor in order for it to count.

P.S.: When a console crashes, it doesn't take millions of important files that don't include just video games down with it.

Not to mention that it also doesn't cost $700 to replace it every time it breaks, and that happens all of the time with both computers and consoles.

It's called backing things up on an external hard drive. Plus most of my games are through steam and htus saved to the stem cloud.

Well, hyuck hyuck hyuck, I'm not too good with dat datgum technology stuff.

Also, pretty sure an external hard drive also costs money, which I'm probably not gonna have after I sank the $700 battleship.

And that cloud shit scares me.

I've fought two Centurions in my adventures.

The first one I went toe-to-toe with. They're... Well, like giants. Block when they strike, hit them hard when they're recuperating, and they'll go down eventually.

The second I fought whilst sneaking and arrowing the shit out of him. He never found me, and was eventually torn apart by a bunch of Falmer.

The way I look at it is that I have to pay several hundred dollars for a good computer (Even A 500 dollar laptop with a deciated graphics card can play most games on medium to high) , and an external hard drive topping at at maybe 1.5 grand for a higher end computer, external hardrive and games . OR buy a mediocre computer, a TV, and a console for just as much if not more and seeing as the consoles have almost no advantages over a PC performance wise and certainly lack compared to a PC content-wise I don't see any reason to shell out more money for a console when a pc will do the job better and allow me to work on other stuff.

I've never understood this whole, 'Its cheap to build a PC, you could totally do it for like £600"

I don't have £600 to spend on a PC I'll probably have to upgrade in a few years. I did at one time have £200 for an X-box that is still going for me, but £600? Never.
