With maxed smithing, enchanting and alchemy you can make a bow like this and everyone because one hit kill. This damage is with level 80 archery on a level 64 character. This base damage plus sneek attack bonus it makes the game so easy... This is why people have a problem with stealth archery, it's op and makes the game to easy... But on the other hand it is a lot of fun to take out a whole room of enemies without even being seen!! And at the end of the day that's the point of Skyrim!! To have fun in a fantasy world where you can become so powerful!! So play Skyrim in whatever way you enjoy the most and may your road lead to warm sands!!

Anyone else see these on the road and cant help but think they look like something the Elves designed?

I'm playing Skyrim for the 1st time. Watched some YT vids about how to earn gold.

I tried Alchemy but my potions were only worth 50 at Max. I don't want to search for specific ingredients at various places cuz that would be boring(ingredients I've gathered until now were used up in making potions)

I got the transmute spell from the bandits and made 10+ gold necklaces. But they sold for only 400(40 each) even tho It said 120 value 😭

And that also took a lot of time as I had to mine iron from camp, embershard mine and then turn it into.... Well u guys know.

I really want a house and a horse.(My own not stolen) Whiterun stable doesn't have a option for horse map( is that not available in Special Edition?)

Is there any interesting/fun way to earn money ? (Jarl only gave me 100 for a quest, so ig quests don't pay much)

Should I sell the dragon bones and scales for money?

Edit - Damn this sub is fast, 4 comments in 4 minutes

My guy or girl just ran at me in a dungen. Guess the Ancient Nords had strong Nord women to.

The contrast of going an entire fight dealing horrendous damage only to kill the enemy regularly, and instantly killing them either immediately or a few hits in is too much to contain, and it's so funny.

Anyway, this is what made me want to find and collect daedric artifacts. Other than mehrunes razor, so far I have Mace of molag bal, dawnbreaker (My second favourite), skull of corruption and Sanguine rose. I'm looking forward to finding the rest and seeing what they do!

Also, Im still hording the skeleton key, if that counts as a daedric artifact.

If you fill out every plot with Blisterwart, add all the extra buildings, hire farmhands and get all the available animals, it makes like $1114 per day.

I did it for a pure mage play through, where I didn’t want to use alchemy to make money, and I went to check the profits: $20K

It’s broken honestly, but I love not needing to sell things to shopkeepers just to afford houses

I don't know why this happened, but I watched it for way too long . . .

Edit: For those asking, I use Enhanced Blood Textures for my blood mod.

(Old clip) I would tell myself to stay away from the giants...

Personally, I hate Lockpicking the most. Then Speech. Then Destruction. Then Enchanting. Everything else can be cheesed. I would be curious to know what you all would consider to make Sisyphus unhappy.

Also, how the hell does she even know it was me that stole her shit? Lol I was being sneaky!

Fairly new playthrough with no mods. I think Lydia snitched on me btw.

I crafted this hair pin out of wood. 9 inches long.

/j idk what happened here but the game did not like it 😭

Let’s see your Dragonborn

I usually play not as mage und staffs I find in game went directly to my followers.

Since my last playthrough where I found a quite powerfull Staff of Parslysis in Snaplag Cave.

It was great: Lydia parslized the enemies and it was quite a bit too easy to kill them.

But then she friendly fired me a few times and sometimes there occured a ugly glitch where the camera was devided from my character. Noting helped except closing the game.

So for now, all the nice staffs are mainly used for decoration. Besides Sanguines Rose. The only staff in game that I use sometimes🥰.

Which staffs do you use?

Some redditors are going to call me crazy... perhaps a little mad. But not you dear Listener, you're going to believe me... and let me live. He he heee!

I discovered this after I had learned that the Amaund Motierre you meet in The Bannered Mare has a different model to the one you met in Volunruud. I was trying to figure out why it could actually be a different person as I played through the Dark Brotherhood questline. Amaund sent an imposter in his stead? Killed and replaced for reasons I'd have to figure out?

I was on my way from the Falkreath Sanctuary to Dawnstar during The Cure for Madness and I read Cicero's journals. When I finished I was like, "Hang on, this is a "descent into madness," it's a great way to disguise somebody being replaced by somebody else." I knew that wasn't enough though. If I made the claim based on that evidence alone I would be mad.

I got into the Dawnstar Sanctuary and it had been a long time since I'd done the questline. I looked on the first table and what is sitting there? The Jester's Clothes! Not only that, they have the same enchantments as Cicero's Outfit. Why does the Jester have assassin's enchantments? He's the assassin.

What happens during this so-called descent into madness is the Jester kills Cicero. He then disguises himself as Cicero and infiltrates the Cheydinhal. He gets one member to kill another, another dies and the other one disappears. Once he's satisfied the sanctuary has been destroyed he can then stop pretending and return to his real personality:

21st of Sun's Dusk, 4E 192

Cicero is dead! Cicero is born!

He then moves on to destroy other sanctuaries - namely Skyrim. He is the "someone on the inside" who gives the pass phrase to Commander Maro if you see him after killing Astrid. It's widely assumed that it's Astrid who gives the pass phrase to Maro but she only contacts him deep into the storyline. Her goal is just to betray you and not the sanctuary.

It becomes much clearer when you understand why there is a different Amaund Motirre in The Bannered Mare, but that dear Listener is another essay entirely.

I have this problem every time I do the proving honor quest for the companions. The sliver hand that farkas kills in wolf from say that it doesn't matter which companion he is if he wears that armor he dies. SO WHY IS HE WEARING STEEL ARMOR. It sounds like he's supposed to be wearing wolf armor hence why that line exists but he's not so it sounds dumb. Also anyone else wish you could craft sliver weapons and armor? I know you can craft sliver armor but it never seems to work for me and the only sliver weapons are the sword and great sword but like why not all the weapons? There's a slice crossbow with AS so why don't they have that? Also I don't play as a werewolf like ever so does the sliver hand show up to fight you like the dawnguard for vamps?

I'm just trying to buy and sell some stuff and Belethor keeps telling me "You just let me, take a look"

So I did not know that using Elemental Bolt near the pedestal would duplicate the sword. Or that I could keep both after. The more you know ig

The temptation to start a new save is so real
