Or absence of one. PC users are getting patch 1.9 beta which includes a Legendary difficulty and the option to take level 100 skills and make them legendary which puts it back at 15 while refunding the perks so it can effect leveling again.

Personally I like the idea of being able to level past 81 but I feel like there should be something you get for your legendary skill, I c ouldnt find much details on that so we will have to wait and see. Now you can max out perks on everything...good luck completionists

Wait what? The option to take level 100 skills ad make them legendary? How so?

I just explained it to you...

the way you said it didnt make sense to me.

Well i said pretty much the same thing...
Anyways thoughts?

It's a complete Don't Care for me.

I just want new adventures that are heavily, heavily story-driven. If there's some new capabilities I can learn along the way, fine. But the story is what matters. I no longer care about levelling, because Skyrim doesn't handle high level characters effectively anyway (my level 81 ranger one-hit the ebony warrior, there was no way to make the fight interesting unless I went to my fists.)

What would be nice if Bethesda changed the levelling in TES6 or FO4 such that it is IMPOSSIBLE to become expert in everything, and even getting above a proficiency of 90 took something really special - completing a very difficult series of quests, or finding a guy who can give special training, or something like that.
Right now, the skill/perk/level/armor/weapons advancements are too generous. I'd dial it back to the point that even a Banded Iron Shield looks like a really cool thing for a guy up to level 35, and steel armor is the most you can realistically hope to have all the way to level 65.
Morrowind had it right - there was only one guy with full daedric armor in the game, and he was practically a God.

It's basically prestige mode for skyrim.

... And it's utterly stupid.

"Oh yeah, instead of just increasing the skill/level cap to 999. let's rip off of the COD series's stupid idea and make it so you can erase what little sense of accomplishment you have and make you level up your skills again cause azura knows they don't mean jack anyway."

Really... it's a solution to a problem that no one asked Beth to solve.

Luckily we PC players have a better solution. It's called http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/1175

That's rather... unexpected. Anyway, downloading just to see what's this all about....

Not sure what to think however.

Is this only on Steam or when I boot up my disc on XBox later, will I get the 1.9 update?

Doesn't that mean we can have even more perk increases now?

Seems so.

No. You lose your perks when you remove your skill points. It does allow your base three attributes to keep growing though.

I'm glad they're taking out the skill cap... it's been long overdue... but I'd prefer they just allowed skills to keep rising.

It's only a beta on Steam for now.



When you increase a skill to legendary, you get all the perk points spent in that tree back, so you kind of do get more perks.
