Hello there, I recently did a topic about http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1235480-maxing-out-all-skills-yes-or-no/ to see what you guys thought of this, from the information I have found out from some users I came to this conclusion.


All skills CAN be maxed HOWEVER there are around 280 perks, and around 70 levels. A perk per level means you will only be able to have about a quarter or a third of the skills per playthrough.
There are 18 different skills which can all be level 100/100 however only around 6 skills can be fully complete with all skills and perks. This means you can have all FULLY maxed skills in 3 playthroughs
however there are many different combinations of skills with only 6 being maxable per char so there are many combinations to make unique charecters.

^^ This works for me so. If you can have 6 FULLY MAXED skills (This meaning with lvl 100 and all corresponding perks for the skill) what will you chose?

Only pick 6 skills!

I will start, not ENTIRELY sure this may change...

I like playing a warrior theif so these may be my skills,

One Handed
Block
Light Armour
Sneak
Lockpicking
Pickpocket

Archery
Sneak
Illusion
Light Armour
Smithing
One Handed

Light armor, one handed, destruction, conjuration, alteration, restoration

Warrior/thief as well!


1. One handed (swords)
2.Archery
3.Block
4.Light armor
5.Heavy armor
6.Stealth


This is not certain yet since i still would like to see all other perks and such!

If I had to play this way, my 6 skills would be:

1) Blade
2) Destruction
3) Restoration
4) Conjuration
5) Lockpicking
6) Sneak

I'll be playing a mixed Battlemage/Assassin, so I need my combat/magic + stealth options.

Sneak
one handed
Archery
A Craft (not sure which)
undecided
undecided

Marksman
Sneak
One Handed
Lockpicking
Pickpocket
Alchemy

Sounds good for me.

Oooh a fellow warrior theif. Your skills are good ;]

Speech
Illusion
Alchemy
Conjuration
Stealth

And that's... it. Since there's no Unarmoured skill any longer I guess I'm only going to focus on the above 5 (with the same order of relevance as written).

SNEAK up on foes... let loose with my ARCHERY... BLOCK while taking the inevitable pummelling I'll get in return... SPEECH my way into a free drink at the tavern to recover my spirits... RESTORATION for the hangover... SMITH my [censored] back into some sort of passable order... repeat as necessary until I'm the complete blackout prone drunken Khajiit assassin.

I plan to make "them" good hehe...indeed always nice to see a fellow adventurer! :nod:

One Handed
Light / Heavy Armour ( don't know which yet )
Destruction
Archery
Sneak
Lockpicking

This is subject to change.

For my Orc Artificier:

• Two-Handed Weapons
  
• Heavy Armour
  
• Enchant
  
• Smith

For my Nord Nightblade:

• One-Handed Weapons
  
• Light Armour
  
• Sneak
  
• Illusion
  
• Alteration

For my Bosmer Scout:

• Archery
  
• One-Handed Weapons
  
• Sneak
  
• Light Armour

For my Nord Bard:

• Speechcraft
  
• Illusion
  
• Sneak
  
• One-Handed Weapons

They will doubtless use other skills and may place perks in them but thats where I imagine I'll be concentrating my perks.

1 handed
Light Armor
Sneak
Illusion
Lockpicking
Destruction/Restoration/Alteration/Pickpocket/Alchemy

Not sure about #6 yet

Does anyone know how the strength of our punches if going to be governed now then seeing as the skills gone??

except your wrong

280 divided by 18 skills gives us 15-16 perks per skill

70 levels divided by 15.5 gives us only 4 skills we can max, with some left over perks

so you should choose 4 skills
