This thread is hilarious. Thanks for the laughs guys. I'm really glad they put this in the game, it makes complete sense within the context.

Also, this guy's channel is actually pretty good.

So much time and energy could have been saved if they had planned out perks more thoroughly 5 years ago.

And Shadow Warrior. God, I HATE that perk. Took it once, immediately removed it.

More like speech perks. What was I thinking?

Well, speech has Merchant, so I guess it's 0.5 score.

Although I agree that everything beside that is junk. "Easier persuasion". Pfft. If they don't hear my word, then they kiss my sword. Always works.

Sorry, on BlackBerry without video streaming data plan :P. What is it about? I took Shadow Warrior once, then everytime I crouch I get instant win :confused: well, that and there's this VFX, so I removed it. Yes, the perk is truly WYSIWYG, and I appreciate transparency, it's just that it's too extreme for me.

Oh, so you do know about the awesome instant sneak attack thing. Nevermind then. I thought you were saying it was useless. The video was a guy demonstrating how to get sneak attacks in the open with the perk.

I don't use Shadow Warrior, because it conflicts with one of the Nightengale perks (Probably fixed in unofficial patches by now).. Also sneaking in this game is already absurdly OP unless you use mods that inject some brainpower into enemies.

Truth be told, I almost always just give (console) all of the speech perks to my character(s) on startup.. Opens up roleplay options, and removes tedium of going to 5 different merchants every time I sell junk from adventuring.

I think this is the greatest way to appeal to casual fans. Instead of dumbing down the customization and enemies give the noob unlimited respecs so they can game the system all they want. This way effects only those who use it, the "dumbing down" way effects everyone.

I really fail to see why this gets people so bent out of shape. I also fail to see it as being "dumbed down". As a matter of fact that choice of language is beginning to be misused as much as OCD, to the point one starts to even feel insulted just by reading it, even though it it not directed at them.

As I have stated in other threads...

While I may be incline to oppose a feature, I will passionately fight for the right of it to exist. Only the ones that are forced upon the character are openly disputed. However, the ones that grant the ability through the choice of the player, will be unforgivingly supported. I will always welcome options and choice to any game.

There is no such thing as console command

Everything is the will of Akatosh. If Akatosh said "that should've been like this", then it should've been like that. I personally have never used console command, Akatosh simply was feeling good and gave me perks for free :tongue:

And that, as they say, is RP justification for console commands :lol:

I thought it was CHIM? :hehe:

Anyway, given how popular this request was, i saw this coming. I like every other game that has had it, i won't be using it. Because i get my characters right the first time :P Abd have unofficial patch to fix the bugged ones :hehe: (Actually, i
m not sure if it does fix the bugged ones)

I am not sure where the hostility came from, but it was unnecessary. If you are unable to converse and represent your side of the argument with civility, you do not belong on the forums. Take your haughty arrogance somewhere else, punk.
I think it was necessary.

This doesn't affect you in the slightest so why would you come here and tell everyone that it's the most disappointing feature ever to be added to the Elder Scrolls franchise other than to belittle anyone who supports it? What you said was such an utterly ridiculous and selfish statement that it absolutely deserves scorn. Don't like that you can reset perks? Ok, don't use the feature. But why do you wish to deny it to other people who do want it? How does them playing Skyrim the way they enjoy affect your quality of life?

So yeah. Get over yourself.

You're not seeing the whole picture.

Its not about the actual perk reset, its what will follow in future TES games as a result. Thats why this "then dont use it" mentality is ridiculous. First its perk reset, then its Magicka health stamina reset, then its race reset, then its "You're a stormcloak, but we'll give you the option to join the imperials after"

Skills for example, how many were in Morrowind, like 27? They took a few in Oblivion and now theres like 16 in Skyrim. Unarmed, i loved using unarmed in Morrowind and oblivion because it was a unique way to play after exhausting all other classes. Now it exists only as fists in Skyrim. No bonuses, no trees, no perks no nothing for it. Same with alot of the magic trees. Waterwalking, they said it was useless and not needed and now they've added it back in?

Edit: Sorry, one perk for unarmed which just increases the damage(tied to heavy armor, mind you. Again, restricting choice. unarmed with robes? light armor? nope.). And a pair of gloves that gives a bit of none-scaling damage.

I kind of wish it was a one time thing only, but I guess that having to wait until after the main quest of Dragonborn is better than just going to some guy in Whiterun.

Also, something for everyone to think of; How useful is it going to be to switch all of your warrior's perks to those a mage should have? I'd wager not very on the account that your "attribute" points are probably all in health or stamina.

While I son't like it, It's not the end of TES as we know it. I personally will only use it when I mess up placing perks.

At the very least it should be 1 dragon soul per perk.

This sounds right. 1 soul for a tree seems to be a bit too good.

Well, at least you have to sacrifice something in order to do it. Of course most people probably have a million dragon souls by the time they have the DLC, but it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

That's what the Fortify Restoration power glitch=+999999 health/magic/stamina enchantments are for....duh!

Listen, max out smithing, alchemy, and enchanting using fortify restoration glitch, you can craft +10000000 to smithing. Your ordinarily weak Mage can one-hit mighty dragons with his/her sword of 1611234 damage. It's awesome, LOL.

That's like saying "you have to spend gold to get skill training." Yeah you do but gold literally rains from the sky in this game, making the cost trivial.

So how exactly does it work? Do you just take the skill tree erase it and what perks go where on the same tree or are you able to spend them on another tree enrirely?
