True, but I've just turned up the difficulty a bit and now I really need them. Just used it to battle 5 Draugr Deathlords at the same time, incredibly handy. I doubt there are better racial powers than the Orc.Race defines what levels your skills start at, and not much else besides what people call you, and racial abilities.
I started as a redguard and I primarily use magic in my left hand and a sword in my right, with heavy armor. My friend was a mage/thief/archer mix. I forget what race he chose...but it doesn't matter. Each race has a racial ability, orcs are one of the only useful ones if I recall correctly. Makes them super strong temporarily once a day. But racial abilities are kind of forgotten after a while.
I'd go with whatever is most cosmetically pleasing to you, tbh. Might be a little harder to start training a skill, but it wouldn't take long to train it up.
EDIT: and really make sure to use those guardian stones. I forgot, and I probably missed out on dozens of skill-level ups because of it. Each stone provides a 25% experience boost to 1/3 of the skills. Can only use one at a time of course, so choose wisely.
70 hours already?! Don't you have work to do or something, damn that's a lot, I've got it too though, but I just have to go to schoolI have finished the Stormcloak quest line, well fuck me that was amazing. It's probably the part I loved the most so far.
so far I've done:
- the Thieves guild questline
- the Stormcloak questline
- about half of the main questline
- other random quests
- my character is a lvl 39 nord, thief/warrior (sneak 100, archery 100, one-handed 90, etc.)
- my current game is 70 hours long so far, I'll probably be playing a lot longer
- once I've completed the game as far as possible, I'll probably start over and use magic.
- one of the things I spend most of my time doing is locating shouts and retrieving them.
I absolutely loved the Stormcloak questline.
Invading cities was awesome, especially the first time with Whiterun. Thrilling !
Nice move with that Skeleton keyI think I did about 1/4 of the main quest line, finished the Thieves Guild up to the point of what I assume to be the final quest, getting rid of the skeleton key...but it's awesome so I decided to ditch the quest and keep it.
Finished the College Questline which was also pretty awesome. One of the bosses really kicked my ass though. I had to fight like a coward for 15 minutes to beat it.
I got to level 47.
Probably going for the Dark Brotherhood when I start playing again, then Stormcloaks.
I didn't bother with the skeleton key. Lockpicking is incredibly easy to me anyway (and even at a low level of lockpicking). I have never used any perk for lockpicking, it's just way too easy. But on the other hand, I like picking locks.
I got most of those bugs (like the books issue and the dragon animation), and I have a Core2 Duo, so optimizations are always welcomeWe’re also planning on rolling out support for 4-Gigabyte Tuning (Large Address Aware) next week for our PC users. Stay tuned!
- General stability improvements
- Optimize performance for Core 2 Duo CPUs (PC)
- Fixed Radiant Story incorrectly filling certain roles
- Fixed magic resistances not calculating properly
- Fixed issue with placing books on bookshelves inside player purchased homes
- Fixed dragon animation issues with saving and loading
- Fixed Y-look input to scale correctly with framerate
Usually you just apply the latest.Question, which update should i use? All three, or just the latest?
Same here, lockpicking is already incredibly easy, I have over 100 lockpicks anyway (all found on bandits/stolen), I never ever have to buy any.I didn't bother with the skeleton key. Lockpicking is incredibly easy to me anyway (and even at a low level of lockpicking). I have never used any perk for lockpicking, it's just way too easy. But on the other hand, I like picking locks.
It's easy, but this just makes it ludicrously easy, master lock or not, lol.
Reading into it and finishing the quest wasn't that rewarding anyway.
Did the same thing with me, but I can run it fine at Ultra Just set the settings to High/Ultra and see how your laptop performs, if the FPS is bearable, keep those settings, else lower it.Uh, the game should be able to run on high-medium, but i get recommended low.
Tried looking up requirements, and i think i meet them all.
I haven't installed any mods, only applied the 1.3 update.
This is the laptop i am using:
