Smithing rocks.

RaranTroff · 12-01-2011, 02:30 PM

I started an orc warrior that uses dual wield weapons, heavy armor, werewolf, and is a smith. In all of the TeS games I have ever played I never really got into the crafting aspect. I have to say its awesome. Exquisite skyforge swords, a set of exquisite steel armor with matching shield, its just great. I may actually do enchanting with that orc as well. I can only imagine how powerful a set of dragon/daedric armor and weapons will be enchanted to hell and back and improved via smithing.

Even with alternating hp and sta at level ups that char is a tank that can kill the crap out of even dungeon bosses without really needing to heal, ever.

Its a whole different game now.

I used to be a smith like you, until I took an arrow to the knee.

The best part is with the orc beserk rage ability its like 60 seconds of hand of god mode. Things just die and I would actually have to try really hard to take more than 25% hp damage. I may up the difficulty just so its a bit of a challenge.

LOL

Yeah, I did that too, smithing + enchanting = incredibly easy. It was nice at first, feeling like a daedra prince clearing dungeon after dungeon, no foe was strong enough for me (even on master difficulty). That's why I started over, with a new, more balanced character. It's a whole different game now.

So maybe a cloth wearing 2 hand warrior with no str or hp? Nothing but restoration magic and 2 hand for perks. That may be a bit too challenging though. Possible unarmed combat only cloth/naked monk type then?

Pff... that's the very first thing you should have done. Set difficulty to Master. The game can only be (somewhat) challenging on that level. Don't be surprised you can kill bosses easily if you weakened their difficulty.

I'ts like if I shot Mike Tyson in the legs, and then challenged him for a box match... and then made comments on forums about how great my boxing technique is, afterally I beat MT in boxing
