Yeah basically its a shield that stops magic from hitting you. You hold the button down and when you let go or run out of magicka it stops.

are wood elves still stupidly small?

Have you used any conjured weapons? Are they recommended? Also, do they all look cool and glowy like the screenshot?

I know they are random encounters, but are dragons really common, so much so that they kind of become a pain, or annoying when you're just trying to explore?
Also can you run away from them, even if your in an open area?

Thnaks for answering too!

A few more (Im so shameless! )

Which archetype (mage vs stealth vs combat) do you think would be hardest/easiest to play, as a pure spec?

stealth, just because its hard to take out hard enemies without magic or swords. so i ended up using Destruction and one handed a lot for my theif.

For a hardcoe player (1 death = delete char) what build and style would you recommend?

Gosh, i wouldnt recommend anything, because you WILL die, and a lot. that or be a battlemage and get to level 50 before you do anything haha.

Can you bake cake?


not sure about a cake!, but...sweetrolls

Can you in anyway side with or help the Thalmor or othervice go for an "evil" ending or are you FORCED to play the "good guy"?

well....
Are there any interesting villains outside the main quest?

none that ive come into contact with yet!

Is gold as hard to come by this time as theyve stated?

not really, its usually in small amounts, and i end up buying a lot. im married to a mill worker and she gives me from 500-1700 gold every so often.

From a powergaming perspective, what are the most powerfull spells/abilities in your eyes?

Runes for sure, Ice spike and obviously shouts.

are wood elves still stupidly small?

How hard is it to sneak up on an enemy in a dungeon and stealth kill them with melee? Will everyone automatically know your there after you kill the first one like in Oblivion? Or is bow still the better method for a room with many enemies walking around in?

Bow is better. Its not too hard, but not too easy.

Are all companions immortal?

none are immortal. They get boosted health but can still die.

Is the Nightmother the same one as in the last game or does every region have a different "mother"?

Im sure its the same, but i guess at the same time im not sure. they never explained it.

Can you marry anyone important? Like a princess or something.

I dont think so, but yet again im not sure.

How long do poisons stay on a weapon? More than one usage?

I think its one if i recall, but im not sure. Havent used it in awhile

Have you encountered any horrible glitches so far?

nope not really, its mostly bug free to me. Dragon animations can get a little wacky while flying around. And one dragon sunk through the ground, but no horrible glitched. I thinkits their best tuned game yet.

Thanks for answering all of these questions for us. Its definitely helping with anxiety issues (at least for me!).

I have some questions about in-game marriage:

Can your spouse die?

Yes.

Can you divorce your spouse?

I dont think so. (im hoping if she dies you can remarry!)
Can you get married without owning a house?
Yes, you can move into their house, and if you buy a house you can then move there and move back at any time.

Can you be rejected by NPCs when asking to marry them, even if you are at 100% disposition? (meaning they may already be married and will not leave their spouse for you; they are attracted to a different gender/race; etc..)

I dont think so. thoe conversation was like this. "are you interested in me?" "yes" "let get married!" literally thats how it was.

Does your spouse have a personality or is he/she just another companion who you call "wife/husband"?

Not really, its actually quite annoying. My wife constantly says "My love" after EVERYTHING!!!!!

Do enemies use poison against you much?

not often, spiders do a lot though,

I honestly havent seen vampires up close, ive killed a few, but never even bothered to look at their faces. Ill see if i can find a few!



Can i put them in spoiler boxes and be safe??

You play as a stealth character, what are the perks you recommended or like?

And what are the perks you are disappointed with and would ward it out in the future?

not really, its usually in small amounts, and i end up buying a lot. im married to a mill worker and she gives me from 500-1700 gold every so often.

all the sneak and pickpocketing ones. None that im too disappointed with, but there are filler ones to get to the good ones.

Sweet, another good reason to marry. Anyways, there's no way I'm reading that spoiler. Can someone tell me, "yes" or "no", if you can side with the Thalmor or be the bad guy?
