is this good?

Post » Tue Jan 01, 2013 11:57 am

so i was trying to make my guy the ultimate warrior (like everybody else).
i had my smithing and enchanting at 100 and just got my alchemy to 100 aswell.
so i made enchantment and potions and then improved my armor
my armor rating skyrocketed to 3052
i then improved my dual dragonbone swords, i have not enchanted them at all and now there damage each is 1002
i wanted to ask all you high level skyrim players if thats incredibly good and also tell me what damage you do

The Armor Cap is ~650, if I remember correctly, so yes, that is an unnecessarily good armor rating.

The only thing worth oversmithing to that degree is weapons, which I see you have done. If you're looking for any sort of challenge, however, you're going to want to rescind on your crafting strategy and play without over-smithed weapons.

That depends on whether or not you wear a helmet. I prefer not to.

The armor rating is unnecessary but weapon is fine. I don't think you need to enchant it at all, even no enchantment your weapons are overpower anyway

I will suggest you use elemental fury instead. With that damage on sword plus elemental fury speed you can instantly destroy anything

Also I will suggest you enchant resist magic and whatever enchantment you want. With good decent health and magic resist you are invincible

the weapons are pretty fast anyways because im a vampire and i have the necromage perk and that also affects the dual flurry perk to be 25% more powerful

Subjective personal preference is a funny thing. Why would anyone want to play a character with a constant 100% Chameleon enchantment in Morrowind or Oblivion? Alternatively, why would anyone want to play with God Mode toggled on?

I can understand if someone does this just to see how far they can take the overpowering... But to play that way? No, I don't get it. I don't mind my game being reasonably easy (replaying the same fights over and over makes me bored), but when you pretty much only have to draw your weapon to kill enemies en masse... Nope. Not my thing.

That's fair. You probably know, however, that min/maxing is a tradition that dates back to the earliest pen and paper RPGs. Some people play CRPGs with the sole intention of making the most powerful character possible without actually cheating or exploiting glitches.

I, myself, always set a character aside to do just that in TES games, though the majority of my characters are built without min/maxing.
