...considering you can come out of a Ruin with 150+ ingots? (And that's without the extra run back to take all the inefficient stuff like decorative struts).


Dwemer metal not available in large amounts? What madness is this?!? /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

I just use it for Alchemy & Smithing. Grinding them for hours on end is literally torture.

Never botherd with it. I feel it takes away the challenge of playing...

Why do you need to grind them? Nothing in the vanilla game requires you to have the best gear early on (or ever, actually). The DLC are a challenge, but then you also don't have to start them immediately after creating a new character.

nope, havent used it before and wont use it now. im not sad to see it go either

meh, it was nice while it lasted but not a big deal that it's gone. /biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> There's other methods to leveling up fast /thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup:' />

I never was able to get it to work, I suppose I'm just inept at glitches. But there is a certain amount of accomplishment and pride that comes from taking professions like Enchanting and Alchemy and doing them the hard way.

Remember when people leveled up Alchemy from making potions when they actually needed them. Them poisons are quite handy.

Once you get good at it you can have a level 81 character with over 10,000 gold, " god " weapons and armor, a house in under 8 hours. I did mostly because I didn't feel like actually playing legit, more for fun but even then it got old real quick. So I returned to the legit method /biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

When I bought the game, I got the right to play it however I wished. Exploits included.

And a lot of the people who bash exploits are probably using console commands and mods on their PC, which is no different. Either way you're playing the game in a different fashion than what was intended.

Im quite happy I can actually level to 81 and beyond using my own skills now, not making my mage a warrior, and my thief a mage.

Actually, the majority of PC gamers don't even know what the console is. I'm not kidding. Even more of them are completely unaware of how to install mods.

Yehap!
I prefer the legendary skill reset over the Oghma glitch. I'll admit I used the console just to pump up my character to level 81 (technically 60-ish, the skills I used were left untouched).
Now I don't have to make an uber character just to see some of the higher level stuff like Legendary Dragons and the Ebony Warrior.

Not me. I think using that glitch to gain unearned levels is dumb. And I hate when people say they don't want to grind levels for all their characters -- like a new character should benefit from an old character's levels.

However, I did used to use the glitch for my 30 levels so I could keep the book. Pretty lame how using the book destroys it. I guess I just wont be getting 30 free levels any more. Oh well.

Precisely, ive been hard at work leveling up my Thief, Warrior, and Mage the last few weeks, preparing for this update. Im so happy I can master 7 skills now fully.

Hey now... /sadvaultboy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sadvaultboy:' />

You're entitled to that opinion, but in all fairness, the exploiters are entitled to their as well, and the way we play Skyrim doesn't affect you in the slightest. So why should we be forced to play a certain way to please people like you?

Well it's true. The PC community is not without novices. Nothing wrong with that though. We can't all be experts, and I honestly find the console in Skyrim a lot more complicated than that of other games. Even mod installation is weird to me. Simple, but I can see how people have trouble with it.
Society is not yet at the point where being technologically adept is a widespread trait. It's why IT guys are cherished.

I think Njordr about sums it up:


I've done it so many times I'm just tired of it. I've spent countless hours traveling back and forth from Warmaiden's to Dragonsreach, when I could've been out enjoying the game. But my characters had far too weak armor & weapons to be effective against even a Bandit Thug. For instance, I don't really use my vampire assassin anymore, because he just can't deal out good damage, since he's level 47 and only has like a 40 something Smithing, which is hardly enough to improve weapons & armor effectively.

Certain builds require smithing to be effective, like say a warrior. Enchanting is a must for anyone I think, but I'll only use Alchemy if I plan on taking the character to high levels. I wouldn't use it for any of the other skills though, not at all; it's just the trade skills that are so mundane.

For one, exploiters & glitchers don't always keep their cheating in SPs. And two, you're about to forced to play like me, so...

Skyrim doesn't have a multiplayer function. My exploiting on it doesn't hurt anyone.

Also not quite. All 1.9 does is fix the bookshelves so that the OI cant be kept from disappearing. Duplicating the book will still work or so I've been told.

Also it's assuming they don't fumble with the console version of the patch and the glitch isn't still there. They've tried to fix it before, but it came back.

Then I shall dupe, dupe and dupe again god dammit.

I'd be content doing it and Legendary-ing until I can get every last perk and have large amounts of Magicka/Health/Stamina.

That way I do any build, anytime.

Have never used it as I've never really been in any sort of hurry. Much prefer to develop a new character at a natural pace as the developers intended. Have never felt that Skyrim is a game that should be rushed in any way, so in answer to the OP's question, no I won't be using it.

I agree. That's why I won't be.
