Commander_Undies 618 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 So I got Skyrim Legendary Edition as an early gift for my birthday and don't know which kind of character I want. On Xbox 360, I never ever played a game like this, I had no idea what I was doing and my skill trees were fucked up to the max. On the PS3, I think I played a sneaky warrior. Way more enjoyable since I actually stuck with a few select trees. PC, I'm not sure what I want to do. I want to try two handed, but not having a shield worries me. But then I should be wearing heavy armor so it all balances out right? I would also LOVE to try archery but I feel like it's super weak. At least early in the game. I would shoot something with a bow I've picked up and it takes a lot of shots to actually kill something. And what do you do when you're in CQC? I'm not Katniss or anything. Any tips or recommendations? Any mods for Skyrim that you guys suggest? Shoot me a link for it please. I have never played any of the DLC, that's what i'm absolutely looking forward to. I think if I remember correctly there are vampires and stuff. Woo!

Jason 1,245 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 My favorite class was a stealth archer/dagger elf. Sneak attack multiple adds up on bows. Combine that with smithing to make stronger bows and you shouldn't have much trouble. Throw poison on the arrows for even more damage. If I remember right I was almost osk dragons.

Commander_Undies 618 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 A sneaky archer sounds fun! I want to try and play tonight. It's just the hardest part is me figuring out what I want to be.

Baabcat 1,646 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Archery is great in Skyrim and ends up making the whole game Easy mode. I suspect I won't play through again, but I did swear to myself that if I did I was not going to do archery, just for the challenge Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/1526-skyrim-tipstricksmodsskill-trees/#findComment-37965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander_Undies 618 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 I love melee, I haven't tried anything at a distance or magic. So archery would be a challenge for me. I certainly haven't seen 'easy mode' with archery yet, but I haven't really gave it a chance.

jordie1892 681 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 My favourite character was a stealth Mage. Illusion can make enemies fight amongst themselves or run scared, and destruction magic is fun as hell. Alteration and conjuration can also be useful, letting you turn invisible or summoning Daedra to fight for you. Silent casting is essential for the stealth route. My only problem with stealth archery is that you can get to the point where you one shot everything and there's no challenge.

Commander_Undies 618 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Summoning Daedra sounds tempting. Hell I might make multiple characters at one point. Too many choices!

TigerBurge 2,375 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 My first one was a Nord I went shield and one handed. My second time through I was a wood elf. Stealth archer with daggers. Heavy on the enchanting tree too. Then I tried a dark elf. Wasn't to fond of the magic.

Jason 1,245 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think this is what I'm gonna do. Do you remember which tree you started putting points in first?It's been a while, but I believe that I got archery up to a acceptable damage level, while also focusing on stealth equally. The unfortunate part of this build is you also need smithing (what build don't you I guess, maybe a caster) to make better daggers and bows/arrows. Join the dark brotherhood and get their gear ASAP. For the back stab gloves and other shit that helps(vague, but like I said, it's been awhile) Don't forget to find jewelry that increases archery damage/sneak. You can use poison to coat the arrows, but don't start building up alchemy right away, get sneak and archery high first. Don't worry much about armor, if you sneak good you'll hardly ever get hit. That's all I remember off the top of my head. Hope that helps.

Jason 1,245 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Oh, and you can steal a elf bow early from, (I think) the huntress chick.

That's why I had so many characters. Mace/Shield Orc, stealthy assassin cat guy (forgot their name), magic caster, etc. etc. Its why Skyrim is so awesome. Its like a pack of games in one.

I want so many different things, so I'm sure this game will keep my attention for a very long time. Hopefully, people keep joining in, because I know this archer won't be the only character I make.

cyberninja2601 1,106 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think you also want to think about which companions (if any) you are going to want to spend time to determine the character. Lydia for example is pretty useless if you want to be stealth and sneak up on people. I played elves with the bow and max archery and smiting I played orc with armor and double handed weapons. I had the dragon armor I played wood elf with sneak and destruction magic You can max sneak and archery and destruction magic by going in Draugr dungeons and sneak up on the ones that are sleeping and kill them. That counts as a sneak attack and allows you to level those skills up quickly. The were all a lot of fun.

BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I usually go with a mage in TES games, but in Skyrim I went with an assassin archer type. A lot of fun. The bow is OP as you get your archer skills up.

jordie1892 681 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Recently made a dual-dagger, sneak character on legendary. That's been very challenging but fun.

Commander_Undies 618 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Recently made a dual-dagger, sneak character on legendary. That's been very challenging but fun. My brother did that. He joined the dark brotherhood, had his sneak and pickpocket up so high he stole Astrid's Blade of Woe and then when he finished the brotherhoods quest he got another one so he ended up having duel Blade of Woe daggers. He also leveled up his Illusion so he could be invisible a lot of the time. I was jelly with how sneaky he was.

Commander_Undies 618 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 So i'm going to hop on now and play for the first time. Gonna make a wood elf since they're one of the best races in regards to archery.
