Got this on X-mas...

I finaly have a reason to come back into this forum...

Yall were making me too fucking envious for awhile.

Ive noticed they've made archery a lot more proficient but i havent seen a way to craft arrows as of yet. Anyone know if its doable?

Ive got a Nord warrior started (one hand, archery, lite armour) just to kind of give me an idea of the changes, but will be starting my first REAL character after I get a better understanding of the changes. Any opinions? I tend to stay away from purely magical, so either archer, or full out melee, or even a mix of those.

And anyone got a link to a good spot to read up on how all the new smithing and enchanting works? I thought you'd get ONE table to do it all at but theres like 4 just for crafting and upgrading, and a fifth for enchanting lol.... Steep learning curve even for someone whos played the last 2 games!
Arrows cannot b crafted, just bought or looted.

Here are some enchanting and smithing links. It gets really easy once you try it out a few times.

As for your character just try out whatever styles interest you. The good thing about the skill system in Skyrim is that it doesn't lock you into a certain type of character like Oblivion did. Read what all the perks are for what you're interested in and compare that to your playstyle.

I haven't fucked with archery or magic much yet, but my full blown Orc warrior us pretty fun to play. The melee is a lot better than oblivion was IMO. The skills trees are what sets this game apart

I got this game for christmas..Played it a couple hours and have no idea what i'm doin? I think i fucked up, i just wanted to learn some magic. I went to what i thought was my destination and i broke in some fools house, (which i didn't know was frowned upon?) and he started trippin so i killed him. Next thing i know the whole village wants to kill me and i can't even get to where i want to go..

After i die it keeps spawning me right after i broke into dudes house and he already pissed. I want to be like "my bad breh, chill out it's all good.." But he keeps forcing me to kill him and then i get mobbed by the whole village over an over? WTF!

That sounds like my first time playin a bethesda game lol. That shit will happen if you aren't careful. This game is all About freedom and consequences. Create multiple saves and save often cause shit can go haywire pretty quick until you learn how the game works

Yeah if you're new to this you practically need to make two or three saves. Then save over your oldest file when you wanna save again. That way you won't have to restart from a while back in case something bad happens like a glitch, freeze, or you fuck up.

Picked up the CE and the Alduin statue is pretty dope. The art book is really cool too It's over 200 pages of concept art and in-game art (I think) It's pretty high quality stuff. Just flipping through, I think I want to use Daedric armor. That shit looks badass. What's the best way to set up my character so I can get it???

you need to be atleast lvl 90 in smithing or conjuration
smithing might be the fastest way plus you can upgrade your stuff
i recommend forging iron daggers cos its quick and requires least material

i havent tried conjuring
but you have to be a member of the college
then hit 90 in conjuring to be able to start a quest (given by Phinis Gestor) that gives you a sigil stone
you need that stone to forge daedric stuff in the atronach forge
the atronach forge is found under the college in a place called the midden

A good build for newcomers.

choose any starting race, doesn't really matter which you can make them all do the same shit soon enough.

when you level up, focus on getting your health and stamina up and do magic later.

put perks into one handed, archery and light armour at first, so you will be a character who is light and quick and can sneak more successfully, but also you will soon get one handed weapons with high damage and light armours with high damage resistance. good perks to have are the first star in those three levelled up a couple of times so it says (2/5).

when you get to about level 10, start saving up perk points for a few levels. save up about 5 or 6 points so save them til you get to level 16 or 17. in the mean time, level up your smithing by buying iron ingots and leather strips from the blacksmiths, and then make as many iron daggers as you can. make about 50 iron daggers. you can also enchant this to raise your enchanting level

playing this way i have one handed weapon that does 50 damage and bow that does 70 camage

i can one hit sneak kill most enemies with the one handed, and one shot sneak kills with the bow. i can also kill bears in two or three hits and pickpocket them

so when you have leveled smithing to level 70 which wont take long if you keep making iron daggers, then put your perks up the left side till you can make glass armoiur and make it all then make glass weapons to and improve them on the grindstone and for most enemies you will be undefeatable. in order to make you more powerful, speand the next few levels just levelling up enchanting and put all those enchantments on your armour like extra sneaking or extra health
