Hey, i bought this yesterday and i was gripped, not once did i play MW3 or BF3 lol i couldnt stop playing! What i wanted to know was, i managed to kill 2 dragons, more or less finishing companion quests (amazing), reached level 15 (been doing alot of side quests) My problem is my perks, with this being my 1st go you tend to wanna try everything even though at the start u say to yourself "Im gonna be a thief"... i did that and then put perks into conjuration, about 3, i wanted to use Duelwield daggers which seems weak and have to rely on kitein mobs around with my bow and hardly using duel wield. (Should i change to shield n sword with light armour (currently using elven armour which looks sweet and the big dwarfen enchanted bow)

My question is, should i restart and start over puttin perks into what i want, or should i just keep play as with me only being level 15 its still pretty low and i hope the 3 perks i put into conj wont make any difference end game? I also SOLD my dragon bone(s) not realisein you can make armour with it >.< Killing with bows is good when u get 1hit kills, but not as fun as using shield and sword seeing death blows.

Restart - Make a shield + 1h + restoration + hvy armour

Keep playing you can still make minor changes early on.?

Pretty sure a made this topic before, i must have said a bit to much about the companion quest lol

Up to you, I've restarted at lvl 10ish twice now to change characters.. but I'm pedantic.

i have the same dilemma, i put points into things i dont use at all, thinking they might come in handy

two things you can do.
Restart or Wait for someone to make a mod to reset your perk points

if you want to you can 'resett' your perks with a console command on pc only ofc.

player.removeperk perk-id when you want to know the id of the perk you want to remove, check it out on skyrim wiki.

you dont get the perk points back though, so just remember how many you removed, if you dont want to cheat at least. and type in console.


player.addperk perk-id of the perk you want to add

hope that helps.

If I were you I would keep going, think of it as you/ your character learning from experience, adapting to their environment. After all there is no reward for having the perfect character. I have made a few errors in perks with my character but I am sticking with it and it makes for interesting variations. For example I have inadvertently become quite adept with alchemy even though I have no perks in that skill and so for the first time in a Elder Scrolls game I am actually using poisons. I also accidentally put too many perks into fire spells too early so have focussed on fire to try and get the most out of them, the result is that my fireball spells are now monstrous on I'm only level 10. There is something strangely satisfying blasting an elk and watching its burning remains fly off over the brow of a hill.

A third option: You can add and remove perks via console commands (if you're playing on a PC):

I'll put this in spoiler tags, just in case console commands are not kosher in the general forum - my apologies to the mods if this is the case. Just cut them out of the post if necessary.

Console method to add and remove perks inside spoiler tags. Note this can be used to cheat, don't read if you're weak willed!


That all said, really, don't sweat some oddly placed perks. As a rule of thumb, they're pretty much always useful. My character, for example, has an odd smattering of points in the early magic schools, despite rarely ever using magic. However, it's EXTREMELY handy to have those low level spells cast at 1/2 magika. Likewise, while I don't wear heavy armour, should I put on a single piece due to it's awesome enchants, I've got one perk in the entry level Heavy Armor tree to help boost it's effectiveness.

Rarely will you have perks that are actually useless, and you get a LOT of perks overall.
