With all this new info and perks which setup do you think will be the best. Which the worst

The best Skyrim setup is one that you make up as you go along, taking time to make serious decisions at each level.

No I mean in general. For example I think many characters will have a hard time with stealth this game because of dragons.

Umm, the dragons dont have 10000/20 vision, they only notice commotion, say spells being flung at each other.

Eh, Bethesda tried hard to make them all as balanced as possible. I guess the worst would be a build that some people are calling "Mercantilism" or something where you pick speechcraft, smithing, alchemy, enchanting, and pick pocketing. The non-combat perks pretty much.

Really now? I had not known that. But still you have to kill dragons in main quest which I think stealth characters will will be unable to do efficiently.

[/quo You get a companion during it i think, and its the whole town watch.

are you kidding me? the gameplay vids of bethesda fighting dragons are total pushovers. they drag on the fights by swinging and missing and not swinging at all to make it look like an epic battle, but if you watch close, when they swing and make contact they completely own the dragon.. if you spam attack on a dragon he'll be down just like anything else. dont be fooled by the camera tricks.

with 50 points in sneak you can get a 15 x dmg multiplier for dagger attacks. specialize in 1handed aswell and:


let the dragon engage your companion / summons

and 1 hit them for 1000 dmg

Well, once again we fail to realize the gameplay vids consisted of overpowered characters created for the purpose of doing the previews. yes... a dragon might seem like a pushover when you have 999 health and 500 stamina and an unknown amount of "I can't die because this is a playthrough" equipment.

True true.

We've been told that the dragons will be ungodly boss battles...and we've also been told they ambush you. So, yes, I suppose it's safe to assume that stealth character's will have a hard time ASSASSINATING A BLEEDING DRAGON. But hey, that seems pretty logical to me! A suggestion to Assassins- bring friends, and learn to use a bow and arrow.

Edit: Typo fix

You pummel them with arrows initially especially if you are focusing in bow and arrows. Then you dual wield some short swords or daggers and activate the flurry shout and hopefully you'll do a ton of DPS. A stealth character will be able to hold their own against dragons.
