Scaling, Perks and Customization

Post » Fri May 11, 2012 9:14 am

Hi All,

So this is my first major post since the game came out and I am absolutely loving it. The world, the depth, the fighting and the adventure!!!

My first revelation is that dual wielding is deadly. Which pleases me greatly as it allowed me to make my ranger a badass.

However I digress, the reason for this post.

After playing for a few hours and reaching level 25 I am wondering over a few trivial details that I would be very grateful if the community here could help with or confirm.

1. Level scaled weapons

I have only got two named weapons, Edju and Okin. Now the fight for these took the better part of an hour. An hours fight that shamefully consisted of a lot of running and hiding. Plus my Fus Ro Dah, stagger, Dual Sword power attack, run, repeat combo. Now these weapons resemble the most basic Ancient Nord weapons. If I had got them at a higher level would they have a different appearance? If so what other weapons and armour does this apply to?

I am also getting to the point where I want to start getting some of the legendary weapons and armour. I am worried though that there will be a level cap. What level would you recommend I get them at?

2. Perks

As stated before I am currently level 25. I have got half the perks for one-handed, sneak and archery. I would like to get them all plus that of lightarmour. I think I can do this reasonably. However, I would also like to be able to craft my own weapons and armour (ebony swords and bow) and then enchant them (with two enchantments). Will I be able to do this? Or are there better weapons to be found for a Ranger type character that make crafting and enchanting pointless?

3. Armourer or Enchanter?

Is there an NPC in the world that will enchant and make weapons and armour for me if I give him the money and materials? If this is the case I will not bother with getting armourer and enchanting and devote my time/perks elsewhere.

So there it is. I would be really grateful if anyone could take the time to help.

Cheers
