There were multiple threads on this, and the community has decided that it is not confirmed (ok, not at all unanimous, but a slight majority).

Also, I'd like to say that this is honestly the best thread on the forums. I love ya Zaldir! Also, love the new colour scheme.

OK, I may well have missed it, but can anyone provide me with a link to an article/interview that confirms we will get no perks after level 50? I have heard Todd state that a level 50 character will have only 50 perks, and that it will not be possible to have all the perks on the same character, but not once have I read or heard that 50 is definately the maximum. Despite the fact that everyone seems to know apart from me, I can't help thinking that people may be jumping to conclusions...

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not at all sure from which video/interview I heard it from, but I'm quite sure that there is a 'soft cap' at 50, where the perks stop, and the leveling continues as a much slower rate. And IIRC the level cap is said to be 75, possibly higher.

I hadn't heard that perks stop. Who said that?

Anyways, there is what is described as a 'soft cap' at level 50. What they described this as meaning is that it becomes much harder to level up. Todd also said that there is probably a level cap around 75 (they hadn't calculated it yet), but that's only because of skill maximums, there' is no actual cap programmed into the game.

Yeah, the cap for perks is definitely 50. I know it was confirmed by Tood himself, and I believe it was confirmed in a podcast a while back. February I think. But you can keep LEVELING up after 50, though.

You should have a section about the different landscapes...ala UNIQUE LANDSCAPES!

from what i know, every skill level up contributes to a character level up, and because skill level maximum is (100?), once a player reaches 100 on every skill they can no longer level up their character level and thus no longer choose anymore perks; max level will be less than number of perks-however many perks there are im not sure

There are 280 perks to choose from and it is my understanding that you stop receiving new perks at level 50; however, you can continue to level up from 51 until the mathematical maximum level which is around level 70-80.

I haven't seen the interview where Todd specifically mentions no more perks after level 50, perhaps someone can provide a link. I know that he has said several times that the game is designed to be a "level 50" game compared to a "level 20" game like FO3, in the sense that most people will not exceed level 50 when playing Skyrim for a really long time.

Perks get unlocked in between character levels when you increase your skill to the minimum amount for the specific perk. Then when you level up the character you get to choose one of the unlocked perks.

Todd Howard: Perks “come from levelling up character rather than skills. Pick a perk when you level. It’s like a standard skill tree but they have requirements, not just the one below it. You see a perk you like and say I’m going to start using my sword more because I want that perk.”

In other words, some perk unlock requirements are simply "the one below it" in the chain.

Other perk requirements are skill must be at X or higher - you have to increase a skill (like 1H) to a certain level in order to unlock some of the perks.

And most likely there are some perks that have both kinds of requirements in order to become unlocked.

I just want my Morag-[censored]-Tong and separate armour pieces like in Morrowind.

Oh and cool thread is cool

Obvious [censored] user is obvious hehe xD idk
Edit- *4*C*h*a*n* is censored? lol didnt know dat

I've noticed something. In the demo when the Dovahkiin absorbs the dragons soul and screams: "DOVAHKIIIIIIN" it drains mana. I think absorbing a dragon soul costs mana. We know that he's got 500 mana and it drains a quarter of his mana. This means it drained 125 mana. True? False? You can check it out.

That's quite interesting. I didn't notice that. I assume you use some sort of magic to absorb it's soul so it would make sense.

Didn't Todd only say that sleeping in an NPC's bed after you kill them was on the roadmap, and not officially part of the game yet.

Yeah that's in the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eokdHSzhAY.
It's at the very end. The interviewer mentions it and Todd says something like "yeah we're working on that." Don't quote me, just watch it.

Where has it been confirmed you can ignite oil, own properties other than houses, or that each race has a unique armor set, or that you can throw enemies on spikes? Quite a few other things that seem weird to me on that list.

He dodged the question abit too much to call it confirmed. Then again, the question wasnt stated properly. She shoulda just asked out right, and the guy should have answered out right. Theres just too much wiggle to be 100% sure.

Bethesda Y U NO release 45 minuet demo to public :angry:

They did that with Oblivion and there was some backlash because certain features in the demo weren't included in the final game.

Thats the multi part oblivion videos depicting various aspects about the game right? I remember certain things that they cut out that really dissapointed me, like having NPC's i duno, miss in ranged combat and require skill for anything but killing you harder.

True, it's not in the game yet, but he said that they won't do it for a DLC, they WILL do it for the game.

THANK YOU! :celebration:

Thank you sooo much for all of this information!!!

But one question, are you able to kill children? Cuz that would just be wrong :unsure:

Can anyone point me to the interview that mentions we don't get any more perks after level 50?

I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I recently realized that I haven't seen it specifically mentioned in any interviews so far.

It's in one of the early interviews.

You can find all sources http://www.zaldir.net/Files/Skyrim%20Sources.html, and it would be one of the links before E3.

I think he said something like "Currently, there's a soft cap at level fifty, and that's when you stop getting perks and you level up slower." (What I'm saying here is, I think he said currently, so it's subject to change. Well, pretty much like everything else^^)

Would be nice to have links to all the new screenshots, there have been quite a few.
