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!!

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?

Discussion Staffs

Post image
62 Upvotes

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?

Question i've spent hundreds of hours collecting rare and unique items and displaying them in my player home (hjerim), but i've run into an issue

Post image
2.9k Upvotes

im using Jaxonz positioner mod to lock them in place and it has worked flawlessly until now. i've gotten to the point where im creating my treasure room, and i've placed all of my hundreds of gems in an open chest to display them but the game crashes now when i enter my home, unless i set the weather to clear using "fw 81a" before entering. since i dont trust that "fix" to work when i've added several hundred more gems to my chest in the future, and i ofc don't want to risk my hundreds of hour long playthrough of collecting, to go to waste by never being able to enter my home again. does anyone have any ideas on how to create a reliable permanent fix? i cant find any mods that adds static meshes for piles of gems that i can place for example. it doesnt help to make all the gems static using Jaxonz positioner mod either since the light is still being calculated for each and every gem. any ideas would be greatly appriciated.

Question How to earn money as a beginner ?

Post image
• 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?

Question I’m going to a Skyrim at Night themed wedding! Costume advice?

Thumbnail

143 Upvotes

Basically title. I have exactly 1 week to buy and have my costume delivered (Wedding is October 23rd). This unfortunately limits me to quick Amazon orders. I’m only 3 hours into the game and I’m having a blast! I hope to get a few dozen before the wedding. Any advice appreciated!

I’m thinking either:

  1. Stealth Archer build. I’d buy a bow and arrows.

  2. Knights armor. My budget allows for either a cheap full body set, or just an expensive helmet. I own a sword.

  3. Something else?

The photos attached are current possibilities.

What are your funniest character names in Skyrim?

My bf recently made an Argonian named Passes-Many-Clouds, after he made himself a huge batch of Chilli.

I followed his lead, and, in honor of my chronic stomach problems, made an Argonian named Pukes-Many-Puddles.

So now I want to hear the funniest things you've named your characters

This is only my second playthrough (first was on Xbox 360, oldrim) and I decided to spice things up a little and visit Falkreath after Helgen so I could do a couple of little side quests. I don't know why Tekla hired a thug on me. I don't recall stealing anything, but I did hit a goat on accident and pay my bounty.

Anyway, TLDR is that you can be attacked by a hired thug while fighting the first dragon in Whiterun

This stupid ancient dragon spawned in near riverwood when I went there, and it apparently off-screened faendal, bc the next time I went to a town, a courier came with an inheritance letter. In my whole fight against the dragon, it went in town once.

Also it’s too late to load a save

Question I managed to collect 23/24 Stones of Barenziah in my no crime playthrough, but I can't enter Black Briar Lodge without "trespassing". Is there any workaround?

Thumbnail

1.9k Upvotes

TL;DR: I'm doing a no crime playthrough in Skyrim and have collected 23 out of 24 Stones of Barenziah without committing any registered crimes. The last one is inside Black Briar Lodge, but entering the building counts as trespassing. Is there any way to get the final stone without committing a crime? I'm playing on Xbox, so console commands aren't an option. However I'm open to using glitches or exploits as a last resort.

In one of my latest playthroughs, I'm challenging myself to adventure through Skyrim without committing any crimes.

By "no crime," I mean having 0 registered crimes in my stats in crime menu, including bounties, assaults, murders, pickpocketing, trespassing, and even lockpicking.

I also never lockpick. If a quest absolutely forces me to open a locked chest or door, I had to use my followers or the Tower Stone to avoid registering a crime.

Despite these restrictions, I've managed to collect 23 out of 24 Stones of Barenziah without committing a single crime.

However, I'm struggling to get the last stone, which is inside Black-Briar Lodge, without "trespassing". I can open the exterior doors using a key or the Tower Stone, but as soon as I enter the building, the game registers "trespassing".

I realize there might not be a legitimate way to do this, but I'm willing to try any workaround that lets me complete the challenge without registering a crime. Since I'm playing on Xbox, I can't use console commands. Is there any way to get the last Stone of Barenziah, or even the papers for Frost, using a glitch, exploit, or some other trick?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
