Skyrim Special Edition

Sheeeit I do a thief run with any RPG. It's the only life for me.

Matter of fact I'm naming my next character Gankenstein

also, if you're playing Skyrim for the first time, I'd suggest going the thief route, or thief and magic. The warrior subquests for the companions are very bland and the gameplay is very repetitive.

With thief you'll have access to the thieves guild, it's subplots, makes the assassins guild more enjoyable, soloing dungeons more immersive and you'll get more use out of the sneak, assassination and archery mechanics, which imo are the highlight of the game.

Doesn't everyone just do all of the faction quests?

I agree on the archer being the most fun build though. It never gets old sneaking around, and sniping fools. I played a mage on my second playthrough, and while it's fun playing God(they're seriously overpowered), there isn't much in the way of equipment, which makes questing kind of boring. Once you do the mage's guild quest line, and get the reward, you're pretty much set for the rest of the game. I don't need any weapons either, so crafting doesn't matter. It's fairly boring being a mage.

I never did play a melee character, because I find the melee combat to be fucking atrocious.

My last play through I was an archer that also ad maxed out Two handed so when things got close I pulled out he greatsword and was usually decapitating people.
 
Love playing as a stealthy thief. I like to sneak in and use conjuration spells from afar. Hopefully the Mods allow some cooler summons.

Early on in the game, I had to incorporate some melee with that Molag Bol club, but once I had all the extra damage, stagger, knock down perks for the stealth/archer, few got closer then ten feet. I've usually got a melee companion with me too, to keep them distracted. If an enemy did get too close, I'd just run away and hide like a pussy, until they lost track of me, then shoot them in the back as they were walking away. Not the most noble warrior, the archer.

Not always. When I play a warrior I tend to kill off the Dark Brotherhood and ignore the Thief's Guild. On the other hand when I play a thief/assassin I tend to ignore the main quest all together and the companion and mage's college.
 
I haven't played this game in so long but I am anxious to give it another go around. I remember being very disappointed with magic in Skyrim. I also remember Blacksmithing and Enchanting being crazy powerful.

I wonder if they patched the fortify restoration exploit? That thing was game breaking.

Even without it, the unofficial patch fixes it, Smiting and Enchanting is really powerful. All you have to do is max out both and then enchant some clothing with fortify smiting and you can make really strong weapons and armor. Combined that with some enchants to your armor to fortify one handed, two handed, or archery and you can easily have weapons doing 300 damage per hit.

Let your family know where you are so they don't worry about you. It's very easy to get immersed into it and hours go by like minutes. I'm excited to "return".

As long as you can't do all that in a loop and become exponentially more powerful.

With the unofficial patch you can't. Don't think you can in the base game unless to use the Restoration exploit.
 
For those of us of the PC Master Race you can pre-load Skyrim Special edition now, so you are all set to play tomorrow.

Activated my key for the LE so I'm just waiting for the pre-load to show up now. They are apparently releasing them in waves.

Looks good and all, but with 200+ hours put into the original(and counting), I doubt I'll be picking this up.

This - I feel the same. Played the shit out of it years ago when it came out. I feel like its not worth getting just because I've done so much of the shit already, the enhanced graphics wont keep my attention. This really seems like a money grab by bethesda.

Put in so many hours into this game, but enough time has passed to where I can replay it without the game being stale.

Hope the Mods live up to the hype.

I read Steam was doing the pre-load in waves. Smart move, as I'm sure a mass drop would have crashed and burned there servers. I got lucky and had mine activated yesterday so I'm all set and ready to go.

No sleep will be had tonight.
 
If there's a gun mod we may never see TeTe again lol

I think Skyrim had more quests and a bigger map than Fallout 4 so you'll have plenty to do
