The WOTW adsorb effect only works on touch range, so you can keep running away and attack with spells / arrows.

If you wanna go melee, run up, hit it once and retreat before it can attempt to adsorb from you (it'll make some sorta gurgling noise when it tries that). Rinse and repeat.

Come come now, we both know that isn't true!
Expert - heavy armor encumbers him 50%
Master- Does not encumber him at all

It's never too hard to stay there for a little bit and let somthing hit you good chance to work on block too ;)

I stand corrected on the expert/mastery skill perks.

However ...

Trick is to pump it up as much as you can in the tutorial section when you start...you find rusty iron and you can just stand there and get hit...one fireball to the rats and their toast ;)

I said, it's the slowing down that irritates me; and high Heavy Armour skill doesn't change that ...

Currently I'm working on a full collection of Feather Transcendent Sigil Stones. Will be able to carry 1625 before any spell or potion boosts!! :D


Hmm, I would not have done that. First sigils stones I go for are the Fire/Frost/Shock Shields to enchant my light armour up to 85% rating plus ...

Or pump your heavy armor up and go all out and wear deadric!

Too slow for me! Heavy Armour slows you down a lot, and I prefer speed and mobility in combat: to fight, charge and change ground to my advantage whenever I like. I equipped my 2nd character (fighter/mage style) with heavy armour and ...

First off with scaling quests rewards is it worth while to wait till higher levels to do/complete them? My char has done quite a bit and I feel like I might have rushed things a bit because at lvl 5-9 the rewards are nice for my lvl but don't seem too great compared to what I could have gotten if I ...

Maybe he likes it.

I hate the plastic-looking Glass Armour in Oblivion; ES III:Morrowind has very tasteful looking glass armour by comparison.

So I end up wearing a set of Elven Armour instead which IMO looks much better.

Is this supposed to be a bug or a special feature for the first Oblivion Gate?

I found that when I reached the Kvatch Gate's Sigil Stone, I can repeatedly activate it to get more Sigil Stones before I get booted back to Tamriel. There is enough time to get 2 more sigil stones if you keep activating ...

unless I got surprised by a Rat/Mudcrab/Dog (then I would curse myself for being a wuss before slapping my favourite custom touch spell Drain Health 100 pts / 1 second on the annoying bugger).

Overkill much??!!!! :lol:

Nope, normally because I have my sword sheathed or am carrying my bow; it is ...

Are you saying I'm being a whoose??!! :D

Maybe I'm still suffering from "terrible teens" fatigue. In my 20's so far I haven't done as much fighting as normal, have been spending more time taking care of various Guild duties etc that I'd been putting off.

Fighting-wise I've mostly just done two ...

I dumped my first two chars due to leveling probs. Another thing I wasn’t aware of until well into this char is the issue with the monsters leveling as well! That’s just cheating on the monster’s side!! I expected to find stronger monsters as I went out into the wilds further etc, or as the hordes ...

Ha! Another one of those "Efficent-Leveling" guys! :P

I can tell cos I level normally and I only maxed out my Strength/Agility/Speed/Endurance on my favourite char in the mid-30s while the rest are at mid-levels. I maxed out my Armour Major Skill first (and celebrated by throwing away my 15+ extra ...

I can't help you on the quest but at your level, unless you've finished the main quest, you should be able to raid Oblivion Gates for Transcendant Sigil Stones which can enchant for 30% Chameleon (Quicksave before grabbing the Sigil Stone, grab and see what you got, and Quickload if you don't get ...

Skingrad's house is definitely the most extravagrant if you can afford it, plus you have so much display cases to fill up with whatever you want.

I left 2 Glass Battleaxes hanging over the ground floor fireplace; hopefully guest won't use them to settle disputes ... I like using Glass Weaponry for ...

I am not 100% confident of my knowledge, but I give it a shot:

Resist Magicka reduces the effects of hostile magic damage or effects against your character. This does not affect Fire/Frost/Shock magic attacks nor Poison applied through a weapon attack. What is reduced is direct magic damage, such ...

The answer is that you can kill Umbra at first level.

But it is much more fun to fight her at high levels ...

"BANG" "clatter" ARGH! She knocked my Daedric Dagger out of my hand with her SHIELD! *runs around looking for the dagger on the floor while trying to dodge Umbra's swings*

Personally, I think the Breton is the best race in general. 50% Resistance to Magic is the clincher; it would not take much to get another 50% ...

But considering the amount of fire damage, especially when venturing into Oblivion Gates, the Dunmer is the more practical race for its 75% Resistance ...

I plan to take illusion as a minor skill.
That way I can max it out without gaining any levels.

Oh yeah, so that's something else that's quite silly. If I understand it correctly, if you want to be a real bad ass mage, choose non-mage skills as your major skills. So a thief-like character with ...
