Your Character's Level!

Post » Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:53 am

Hey guys, I was just wondering everybody's progress on this extremely well crafted and generally incredible game.

I am not really interested in all the quests you've done, or whether you've completed the main quest, as level really speaks for your progress so in and it'd be cool to know the hours you've pumped in.

So... What's your level? (Main accounts only please)

I am level 34 at the moment and have played for 74 hours. I use light armour, a lot of restoration, one handed is at 100 and training two-handed at the moment. So... All I really do is LEEEROOOOY JENKIIIIIINNNSSS!!!

My favourite shout is; TIID KUL IL - the slow time one, makes leeroy jenkin'ing a whole lot easier, especially when you run into a cave of Master Necromancers >_>

I have a level 28 Assassin (sneak/one hand) and a level 17 (balanced in all combat attributes excluding two handed; archery/sneak/one hand/destruction/conjuration/restoration/etc)

I don't have a "main" and "secondary" character. I simply play one build and focus on it until I'm done. Got a dual wielding warrior up to level 50 and then deleted that and made a pure mage to prove to all the whining people on here that pure mages aren't underpowered, level 20-something and it's still fun.

I'm just under ten with my female Khajiit. I restarted with her after installing a leveling slowdown mod because it was ridiculous with my first char to be over five just after reaching that first town!

Interesting that so many players create new saves... Why? Surely it's a waste of time to keep going through the same process over and over just with different skills, my philosophy on games like Oblivion and Skyrim is that if you wanna be sneaky sneaky, you want to leeroy it? Or just Melvin that sheet up, train the skills on the same character? :3

Strange.. Can somebody justify this to me? :P

Well, I like to sneak as an archer, with light armor...

I also like to crush skulls, as a beast, with heavy armor...

I also like to entertain, with magic, naked... (Not sure about that character, but it is fun to play and explore.)

Obviously, you can't do that with one character... and be good at anything you love, just be average at everything. Thus... Multiple characters... multiple areas of development...

Thus my simple batch-file character swapper. Makes games with multiple profiles easy to play.

I never play the same, ever, except the beginning, to get essentials. I like to break quests, which is easy to do in this game, when it runs. (Thanks to the DRM update, it only runs for bursts of 2 minutes to 15 minutes now.)

Wood elf sneaky archer/one hand. Archer for fights, one hand once sneak is high enough, for slitting throats.

Surely it doesn't matter whether your an expert in what you do for your level or not? As long as if you can kill your enemies what's the difference.

For example at the moment I am 100 one handed, and I really hate using skills that are 100 because I don't gain anything out of them so I am moving onto two-handed, before maxing one-handed I used Restoration magic a lot but now I use it less often cos it's a pain constantly switching to healing magic and then back to my Wuuthrad.

I don't see the difference, if it was an MMORPG then sure, you want to be as powerful but the lowest level but this is offline.. All that matters is whether you can crack some skulls.

I still don't understand wasting time doing the same starter quests when at least 50% of the people who do that will never do all the quests, because they will get bored of the game and stop playing it but if you focus on one character, all your progress will be on one character, along with your quests, so you don't get confused with what quests you have done.

Lvl 18 Nord Warrior juggernaut.

2 handed currently at 51, Heavy armor at 42, Block at 39, Smithing at 41, Archery at 38 and Sneak at 36. Everything else is pretty much at starting level except for a few books I accidentally read.

If you want a really nice two-handed battleaxe then your best bet is to do the Companions quests in Whiterun, they give you the Axe of Ysgramor, Wuuthrad. It's what I use. I am 63 two-handed but Wuuthrad does 59 damage, that's almost double my Dawnbreaker (Daedra's reward for doing his/her quest, I won't say which one) and i'm 100 one-handed with 100% damage boost...

But levels dont matter.

You can be level 40 and just be having 100 smithing, 100 enchanting and 100 alchemy and have zero for combat skills. It is not about the levels, but how much you use the skills. I have almost 100 hours in, and my first 50 hours I raised a mage. My second 50 hours I raised an archer/mage. I only burned a few perks in bow, but I think I am going back to destruction.

Skill points are what matters,, levels just mean you have more HP or Magicka.

Breton female level 18. Only finished three parts of the main quest. I did finish all the main quests for the collage at Whitehelm. Not sure how many hours I have but have been playing since release date and have kept busy with quest not doing any of the main quest.

Leeroy!

I can't speak for others but I find it fun. I also like to try out the other races. Also the world sometimes reacts differently to you. The first play through is always to learn the game how the menus work. The second play through is more serious since I now know how things work. I can get more out of my second play through.

This is true... In that situation you could just power train Archery or something though, that would be a really crap situation though...
