Re: +15 Acrobatics Amulet?

Was it from a mod? Don't know of anything like that in vanilla.


Definitely no mods, this was vanilla on the 360.


You likely found a random magic item.


It's possible, but because it was in a very out-of-the-way place that required max acrobatics to get to, made it seem like a specific ...

+15 Acrobatics Amulet?

So back in the day I had a Khajit Monk who was in the habit of leaping atop fort tower walls. After one such ascension, a challenging one IIRC, I found an amulet which bumped his acrobatics from 100 to 115. It might be the most thrilled I've ever been with a gift, ever. At least I'm sure that's what ...

Re: What are you playing at the moment?

my ps3 or my ps3 disc of Oblivion, one or the other, decided to [&@%!] itself and won't load properly, kind of a bummer as i was pretty happy with the character i'd made, efficiently leveled to 14 with 90ish str, int, and willpower, and working solidly on agility to eliminate that stagger, a very ...

Re: A skyrim remaster? Discussion.

Possibly controversial/triggering opinion incoming - Fallout 4's survival mode is a swing and a miss compared to New Vegas. It's like a little kid trying to copy big brother and failing badly. Honestly, someone should give Josh Sawyer a full time job cleaning up other people's messes already ...

No sign of any survival mode, but old mods are likely compatible so you'll be able to play Frostfall or whatever.

i never raise the difficulty in Oblivion because efficient leveling and that hump in the mid-teens when will-o-the-wisps and mountain lions turn up, and the relatively low damage of bows, all add up to enough of a challenge for me.
