    • Definitely

    • Depends if it's on sale
    • Maybe one day
    • Probably not.
  2. 2. What version?

Patch notes.

Seems most of them are sorting out the issues with the most coverage (PS3 getting FPS drops, the 360 version looking pants and the sound being iffy on PC) The bottom three are kinda nice, and I think Ethan will like the dragon bones going away. Still find the "

Fixed occasional issue where a guest would arrive to the player’s wedding dead" issue pretty funny though. Not had it myself yet. Still not decided who to

marry.

In regards to Sneak, does anyone else think it's overperforming?

 

No min-maxing, played a regular stealthy/destruction char. Got sneak to 91, had an ebony dagger, boots that muffled movement and gloves that doubled sneak attack damage (total x30). This, together with almost all the other sneak perks and the Nightingale ability (turn invisible while crouching as long as power is active) makes you unbelievable powerful. Even without the Nightingale power, I can sneak, forward roll and instant kill any NPC from the front. Sometimes, I can be fast enough to do it on 2 NPCs standing next to each other.

 

Oh, and snuck up on a dragon. Dropped him from full to 5% hp in one hit. I think something is really wrong with that...

How'd you do against snow cats and sabre tooths?

 

And there is a lot unbalanced with Skyrim in the perk stuff. Cos I'm a mage I can drop most things before they get near me, meaning light armour skill is kinda low. And the only things tough enough to get close tend to hit like a brick shithouse. The whole enchanting/smithing/alchemy stuff too is like daaammmnn. I'm only just getting into the alchemy stuff seriously and I've got some half decent potions mixed up. Shame I don't use my weapons much, the -75 stamina, 100% magicka regen reduction, and -45 health poison nearly doubles the effect of molag-bal mace I have. And since I'm a mage most of my armour is robes, so 0 armour point. However my gauntlets n boots alone are enough to fend off most attacks. Gonna see on my next play-through what a mellee type does like.

Melee combat head-on: not so well. Tons of health potions used. I play this character without a mount, so I rarely get ambushed in the wild, making fighting stuff head-on a non-issue. The only thing that gives me trouble are random dragons, and only if I'm out of invisibility potions/powers.

In seriousness though, I feel like quest NPCs should be immune from random ass shit like that. I mean, it's one thing if I kill the essential character, but it's quite another if a random world event does it.

 

Although it might make up for it if that then puts in a dialog option for you to tell the master "I'm sorry, but a dragon ate your dog."
