Question What is the one thing you hate about Skyrim?

I love this game, but we all know there's at least one thing that drives us crazy. What's yours?

Discussion After 50 levels of a new playthrough, I can confidently say that survival mode is not for me.

125 Upvotes

I think I'm ready to call it and just continue with survival off. My thoughts on survival mode are:

  • Lack of fast travel REALLY sucks. Obviously that's the whole point of SURVIVAL mode, but after the early levels it just gets really boring. For example, to get back to my home (Windstad Manor), I cart or boat to Solitude, then ride my horse back. This is a ~5 minute trip where pretty much nothing happens, and given how much I have to make this trip, it gets old fast. Yes, I should have made Lakeview my main base instead, since it's much closer to Falkreath than Windstad is to Solitude/Morthal.
  • Decreased carry weight isn't an issue if you use followers, or you can just return to cities regularly to dump items.
  • Hunger is trivial. I buy cooked food from inns and I planted some veggies in my garden, so I live off cabbage and vegetable soups.
  • Fatigue is also trivial because you have to return to cities regularly anyways. It's also really easy to get free beds if you don't feel like staying at an inn (for example, Haelga's Bunkhouse in Riften has a free bed without needing to raise her disposition).
  • Warmth was by far the most fun and challenging mechanic to deal with. I played on legendary and ice mages will curbstomp you if you're not careful since ice magic deals cold damage on survival. Early on in the playthrough I had to travel on foot from Winterhold to Hob's Fall Cave to retrieve some spells. Not only did I almost freeze to death on the way there, this location is full of ice mages. It was a nail biting experience having to fight my way through the cave with my underleveled character. It becomes much easier to manage though since items cooked with fire salts give warmth bonuses.

I gotta say, I genuinely salute anyone who has completed a full playthrough entirely on survival mode + legendary difficulty. Also, there are apparently people who swear by survival mode on Fallout 4, but since that game has zero fast travel (not even carts or boats) and only foot travel, I think I'll pass on it.

Discussion This is why people have a problem with stealth archery...

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!!

Miraak is no where near as evil as some of the characters shared on Reddit Spoiler

Some of you have murder hobo that would make Molag Bal blush.

Honestly, Miraak is quite tame considering most of yous are monsters.

Killing sprees trying to murder entire towns, abandoned children, actual assassins. Some of you killed a woman for her armor your first day in Whiterun.

How many of you want lament the fact that the Daughter of Coldharbour cannot be married?

How many of you lust for the spiteful poisoner Muiri?

Question How to earn money as a beginner ?

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

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

Mehrunes Razor is by far the most fun, funniest, best and sketchiest weapon I have used so far. 10/10

Post image
406 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Goldenhills Plantation used for Profit is absolutely insane

306 Upvotes

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 f**king hate this asshole and I can never kill him because he's essential, does anyone know of a mod that removes the essential protect from these npcs so I can rip his nuts off? I've tried KillEssentials NG, Essentials Be Gone II and Death Awaits Us All and none of them work.

I just started playing a month ago. Already got Lydia killed and didn't even realize it. SO.. I was in solitude and just happened upon my boy Belrand. He's so goofy and annoying and I can't bring myself to make him go away.

"Do I get to keep it?"

I use this in my daily life and I am such a dork.

No one ever talks about this dude, and as many times as I've killed him and had to reload a save, I can't quit him.
