The Doggie lol.

I would use it, if not to fix where I put a few points in lockpicking that could have served me better somewhere else.

Exactly it's not like hey I cheated and got to 81 and screwed myself I'm pretty up there and a few perks here would better serve me there.

I guess it's kind of like a life lesson - there's some decisions you have to make that you can't change afterwards; you've gotta live with 'em. That's why I chose my main char's perks wisely and I'm pretty happy with it now.

Oh me oh my, I went and put some points in something I thought would be more useful and it really didn't, and now I'll never have those perk points back...I have assuredly learned an important lesson, that I will carry with me, until the end of my days, and pass on to my children.

lol

God forbid RPGs make your choices permanent. And how exactly would you even go about implementing such a feature?

Where's the line between switching a misplaced perk or two around and re-perking your entire character from a pure Warrior to a pure Mage? How would you implement the feature, exactly? I really don't see it. If you could switch perks around, you'd be able to by-pass the entire building process of your character. A level 81 heavy armor, sword and board warrior could become a pure mage just like that. If they only allowed you one chance to change 1-2 perks, then people would complain that even that isn't enough.

They're better off just not implementing it. If they add that, soon people will start asking for features to reset your stats as well, "because I chose too much stamina and not enough magicka"

The whole idea of the system is to choose carefully and if you regret it in the future, well then that's too bad. This isn't WoW where you can just respec whenever you want to and I'd rather they focus their time elsewhere rather than implementing stuff like this.

You know, as old a fogey as I am, even I think your mentality is too chest thumpy.

I remember somebody posting "I think the odds of there being a respec are as high as there being dragon mounts. Which is slim to none."

Agreed


That 2 completely different issues as mounts would be a problem because of the way cities are. Whereas the respec could easily be done.

lol, I did that. Chose too much stamina/magicka and not enough health, so without my fortify health enchanted armour I get owned by any higher strength enemies like some dragons. And it makes the werewolf form a hell of a lot harder.

I would only be okey with it if respecing one perk costs like 100,000 gold (That way its only for correcting minor flaws, unless your cheating and have millions).

There is a respec option.. its at the main menu... under continue.... its called "New Game" try that.. you get to change your race and appearance too!

of course a perk respec will be released eventualy =p. atleast i think so.

todd howard said that having to restart a new character because you screwd the first one up was a bad thing, and the perk system does that in skyrim BIG TIME

Then pick right perks, respec is a waste.

@ the op, even though I agree with you, most people on here think Skyrim is a MMO and everything needs to be balanced and nerfed/buffed.
I'd recommend playing WoW, there's a whole world waiting for people who QQ about everything there

I vote no on this one. If you really want to play something else, make a new character. Much more replay value.

While I understand your question about one or two perks versus an entire character 'do over', I have a question for you. My main character, level 81 light armor sneaky thief archer type, was 'specced' with the knowledge that there were no dragon bone weapons. I made the perk decisions very carefully and cautiously and, although I regret one or two, have been completely happy with the choices I made...until the DLC came out. Because glass armor could be smithed as high, or higher, as dragon scale, and I never planned on being a heavy armor type, I didn't choose dragon armor under the smithing tree. Now I have to rely on finding dragon bone weapons instead of being able to smith them. I never intentionally turned down the ability to smith dragon bone weapons, because that option wasn't available. Shouldn't I have the option to smith them with my main character instead of having to start all over?

I get both sides of the arguments. By not allowing respec, there is a greater amount of consequence to picking each perk. It makes characters more unique and makes the game more replayable.

However, I also have my first character, who is level 50 and an absolute trainwreck of perk choices. I stopped playing him when I beat the game, but I'll never play with him again because the stats and perks are so terrible. So should I not have the option to enjoy returning to my first character?

For me, it's doing what was right at the time. At a low level, I HAD to have some perks I wouldn't have at a higher level. But, that made it so I was able to survive. I don't think they should change it. I made those choices, and I'm glad I did.

I have like 25 unspent perks, you don't need many and you can afford plenty of mistakes.

It's unnecessary in my mind.

There's a necromancer in here

Or know about the entire perk tree of every skill before the game even came out like I did XD. I have my characters advancement already planed out lmao
