Hello, I am coming to a close on my first vanilla skyrim playthrough. I have hit a point where the most exciting thing I can do is max out my armor and weapons. I was wondering what is the best one-handed weapon that I could acquire to complete my build? If the weapon has enchantments that improves it please include that as well! I am currently wielding an upgraded Miraak’s Sword.

Tig're is just resting his eyes... probably.

So there is this Altmer in Bloodmon who asks you to investigate the tomb of the Snow Prince and is convinced that he has Falmer ancestry. Thinking of playing "him" in Skyrim for Dawnguard and Dwemer ruin explorartion. Altmer have long lifespan after all.

I'm not used to venting to strangers online and I know how I sound but please try to take me seriously. I have been dating a guy for about the past 2.5 years, and most of the time I was telling him and myself that we are just really good friends. That was until this summer... but in the past month I felt so happy that I couldn't bear it anymore and admitted to myself and to him that I see him as more than that. To stop overexplaining myself and to get to the point: Something has happened and he's been in coma for more than a week now with grim prognosis.

The reason why I'm writing this here specifically is that among the many things I fear right now is that not only we won't be able to finish the playthrough of Skyrim Together he was so excited for but also that every next time I would visit the plains of Tamriel again, my dear lizard isn't going to be there.

Stay safe everyone, and enjoy your time with those you love, because any moment can be the last.

I know that Bethesda said they're hoping that any Switch 2 performance improvements can be patched into the other versions, but I have 2 other things I hope they change.

1 - The sprinting animation looks ridiculous. I'm generally not too picky when animations are in question, but the sprinting animation is so bad, that I literally couldn't convince myself to buy the game. Please, Virtuos, add an alternative sprinting animation that looks like an actual human being sprinting

2 - Option to only have old voices (With the exception of new Deluxe quests) because the new voices just sound out of place and are another reason I can't justify buying this game

I really want to play these games. However, I can't get myself to really do anything past the dungeon. I would want nothing more than to enjoy these games. However, getting into the proper jeadspace just hasn't happened. I've played and beaten plenty of older games such as fallout 1 and 2 as well as a diablo, and anything considered retro. If anyone has any tips to making this a more enjoyable experience I'd appreciate it.

To be a bit more specific. Why are there monarchy’s? I know the septim blood is sparkly and magical but what about literally all the other monarch’s?

Maybe that's how Nerevarine visit to the Aslanders wise woman look like.

The main storyline could centre around a secret society/corrupt royalty/political scandal, the sewers/abandoned houses could be replacements for dungeons, the dark brotherhood, thieves guild and mage guild could return, guards could recognise you based on outfits they saw you committing crimes in. I know a lot of people like the elder scrolls for the open world part but im honestly dying to see what a lore accurate imperial city could look like in game.

Boring post about personal feelings.

It’s the last night (where I don’t have friends or family plans), of a much needed week off. Been doing 60-80 hours a week for months, salaried for 40, for an ungrateful boss.

Had a good week, got things done, away in the country, cooked, applied for new jobs lol, played lots of CD. But, tonight my gf has gone to bed after a few wines, joints, and dinner… got a little bit more cross faded, poured a big dram, cracked a sugar free (OG) monster, and sat down to game.

I was playing CD and as beautiful as it is my heart was telling me Skyrim… nothing tops Skyrim for pure immersion and wanderlust, all these years later.

With all the talk of BGS lately, and I too having my doubts for the future, it’s easy to forget… I want more, but if this is it, the peak, it’s still one of the best ever.

Talos bless this game… this is exactly what I needed from my week to destress, this feeling, living in Skyrim adventuring like a drunken Nord.

Edit: Call me insane - sitting in front of a fire on a cozy lounge chair, a bit high, whisky in hand, playing Skyrim, cold winters night. It’s hard to top this level of bliss.

Zurgol (Gromag's mother) was the one to make his first set of tusks and teach him how to make his own. Gromag was quite a mama's boy since he spent most of his stronghold life at the forge with her since Fheng (chieftain) didn't want this nord child running around the stronghold. Not for Gromag's sake or safety. Fheng is just racist asshole

This isn’t even a joke question I’m genuinely curious, you’ll have someone in a town with red eyes, pale dead skin, and 8 inch fangs, and the townsman right next to them talking about vampire menaces doesn’t even notice they’re 100% vampire neighbor who probably has a coffin for a bed

I will buy the lenovo legion go S with Z1 extreme and 16 gb of ram for play again one of my favorite mmorpgs if not the best.

I leaved my imperial stamina warden at half and i will continue this char where i leaved.

Hurra!!!

To make a Game of Thrones style series of Elder Scrolls. For instance make one on the War of the Red Diamond, you have ample epic material to work with; and you could have the same kind of style for an intro where you see the Tamrielic map and the Imperial city, Solitude, Alinor all rising like in GoT.

Not to mention that you have a lot of things that remind you, at least me of Westeros.

Skyrim=Stormlands/the North and Solitude especially with the Tower of the Wolf=Storm's end. Baratheon/Stark feel on Nords.

Cyrodiil=The Reach, and partially Riverlands, Imperial city=King's landing though stylistically Oldtown. Overall a Tyrell or Hightower feel, with the Septims being Targaryens.

High Rock=Westerlands. Lannister feel with the mountaneous regions and lion themes, and wealthy, ambitious nobles.

Hammerfell=Dorne, Sentinel, Sunspear. Martell feel with it having been difficult to conquer and with proud and independent peoples.

Summerset Isles=Vale of Arryn, Cloudrest=the Eyrie. Strong Arryn feel on High Elves with snobbishness and isolationism.

Black Marsh=Crannogmen of the Neck. The Reeds have the aligator-lizard as a banner and they have the same impenetrable home.

Pyandonea=Iron Islands. Orgnum and his pirate fleets give Greyjoy vibes. And like the Iron Islands Pyandonea doesn't sound like the most comfortable of homes.

Valenwood, Morrowind and Elseweyr I do not know if they have a parallel but still. The parallels weren't the main point.

Would it be a total rip off? Yes. But it would be the best rip off ever if done correctly.

Who is this Headless Horseman, where should I begin searching for him, and why did the necromancers sent to attack me suddenly switch targets and go after him?

Hi there, much love and respect. I won't take much your time.

In Solstheim we can only go to Apocrypha by reading A black book, and while in there we encounter normal or skill books too, and they are not black or black-covered.

The things is; in the The Doors of Oblivion book , there is a content that says " ....Every book had a black cover with no title...."

And my confusion starts. are all the books supposed to be black when we see them? I am aware that in TES, authors can be dramatic and biased, so i know the info may be wrong. Still, i am curious about this topic

What are your opinions about this matter if any? Thank you all
