Aela has an Elven bow in her quarters in Jorrvaskr. Its locked with an expert lock. I can't confirm if this is a leveled item or if its always an Elven bow. In the Dwemer Museum in Markarth, you can get a Dwarven Bow. Can't remember the level of the lock and there are guards to avoid. I have...

I have no advice to offer, just a comment on how painfully difficult it is for me to raise Restoration. My current character is level 32 and barely hit 25 in Restoration primarily due to my love of Alchemy and the ridiculous frequency that I run into healing potions. It's pretty much habit for...

Do you want to do this legitimately? If you haven't already done so, switch from your preferred armor and weapon to the other. For example, if you normally use heavy armor, go to light. Not only will it help your leveling but it'll probably increase the challenge. Craft potions and smith...

I swear I think naming a character is the hardest part. Every once in awhile inspiration hits me but usually I have to sit and think. Once I get a cool sounding name I tend to reuse it so I've had several warriors named Kor or other manly sounding names. I think Orcs and Khajiit are the only...

I like that shout. I try to time it so it fits with the opening music. I have a mead made by a friend which I supplied the honey for. It's now at least 5 years old and I have a glass on very special occasions. To new characters. May their lives never be cut short, be full of excitement and...

Also, one of my personal favorites for boosting Magicka: Elsweyr Fondue!

I proclaim to be an evil SOB with most of my characters, yet I've never gone psycho to an entire town. Markarth was closest. I had a bounty there of at least 14,000 due to killing all their guards. I love to be evil yet can't bring myself to kill most named NPCs. Gonna have to change that with...

I'm not on PC but I've done something similar by not leveling. I have had a few characters that remained at level 1 throughout their career. Volskygge gave me a surprise at the end. I had been adventuring for quite a while and my skills were on par with someone around level 50 (I leveled up...

Is there some reason you can't do both? Maybe start a new character whose sole goal is the destruction of the Thieves' Guild. And since you're on PC perhaps there's a mod that would let you remove the quest from your journal or mark it as completed or something. I don't know if it's possible as...

That's a good idea but given the number of dragons I encounter and the fact that I generally play on Adept difficulty, I'd be rolling in lives. But maybe every 10 dragons. I could adjust that based on difficulty. Let's see ... Master could be 1:1 and Legendary could be 10:1. :D I was playing...

Skyrim has once again claimed most of my free time and GTA 5 sits with all my other games collecting dust. I enjoy it but it just doesn't feel like there's as much to do. The only excitement came from the story missions and driving around on the freeway shooting at cars til they exploded and...

If you're not having fun then there's no reason to continue. You can still use Enchanting to make some good coin. Once you get the Impact Perk, you can start dishing out the hurt yourself. Until then, learn to run fast or hide behind someone. If you have developed Illusion, and have...

A toast to the Warrior! :beermug: May your blade stay sharp and your foes fall before you like wheat before a scythe. A toast to the Thief! :beermug: May you be one with the night. Unseen. Unheard. Until it's too late. A toast to the Mage! :beermug: May the powers of the Arcane be...

I run into this type of problem with every character. I lose my train of thought, kinda like an actor asking "What's my motivation?" If I lose my connection to a character, my solution is usually to just start a new one and never look back. I'm on my 3rd comeback tour to Skyrim and still...

Faendal has been acting tweaky lately. He would follow me and do all the things I've come to expect from a follower, as far as throwing himself in harm's way for a near total stranger from another land that delivered a fake letter is concerned. But I think he's been in the vicinity of one too...

I'm currently playing a female Altmer Illusionist/Conjurer. I took the Hircine quest to get the ring and wasn't interested in the Savior's Hide. I chose to spare Sinding, and through part of the quest we were allies. Roughly towards the end, I decided to try to heal him with Healing Hands. I'm...

Yes and no. They're clearly magical in nature but they're listed separately from spells. As a pure mage I don't have a problem using them but it could be argued that they aren't true magic.

I allow myself the use of carriages and Fast Travel at certain points where there's no value to be gained by walking there, such as the length of road between the Honningbrew Meadery and the Whiterun gate. I walk everywhere instead of running all the time. I do try to increase the immersion with...

This thread has awakened an interest in actually trying out a Necromancer. I skimmed some and skipped some so I apologize if this has been covered but while I saw a couple of references to the Restoration Potion Glitch I'm surprised nobody considered using OP gear to enhance a particular thrall...

I focused primarily on Destruction. The Impact Perk can save your life. I tried to train as much as possible but out of all the ways to play, being a mage is the most expensive. Depending on how far reaching your magical interests are, you have to sink a lot of coin into just getting the spell...
