Between levels I save 4 or 5 perks then use them all at once..anybody else do this?

I save them if I have nothing of use I can put them in.

This

Nope I use them as soon as possible, although I wish I didn't. I'm just too impatient.

This.

Level 58, 5 perks to use up and no point in using them now, as not only have I effectively completed about 99% of everything there is to see and do in the game, but I don't need any more power. Shame really because It wasn't so long ago when getting a perk was really exciting.

I don't use perks.

Like a boss

This. I've only saved them a few times, but once I reach the level needed, I use them.

I have a tendency to hoard perk points.

Right now with a level 42 mage I have about 11 unused perk points (or maybe 10). I have some plans for them (for example, probably put into destruction when my destruction skill gets higher) but I've been very cautious in using them.

Save for something useful. After all you have limited perk points.

Same.

Sometimes I save them. It`s one part of the sytem I like.

But why must they be called Perks? It`s such a ridiculous term. When I first heard this term it took me a while to figure what it meant. Also this isn`t even the real meaning of the word and Perks are a temporary thing (some temporary benefit you gain) too which these are not. It also takes away from the thematic feel of the period. So why call them perks?


Arts, talents, abilities would be far better words to use and clear in their meaning. Also they don`t sound like they were made for 2 year olds to undestand.

Y`see, it`s the real imagination that Bethesda lacks. Yes, you think Bethesda have imagination but not really, they don`t. They don`t immerse themselves in the time or place like they did in Morrowind. Just from the execution scene there`s a lack of immersion. Chopping off a person`s head does not immersive make.

Oops went off on a rant there...

I saved the first 10... after that i know what i wanted.

I stopped applying some just so I could nerf my character.. Even on max difficulty some levels feel the enemies are way to weak if you use all the perks in your armor + weapon

+so I try to keep 3-5 'behind' and if the game gets unbalanced (taking too much damage or sth) then I apply them to the appropriate skill to get gameplay where I like it again..

Sometimes they pile up on me. Usually only because I have them reserved for a key Perk that I'm not quite high enough skills to reach yet.
I don't get too carried away with it since I play heavily modded out Skyrim. Not using the Perks is a quick way to get viciously whipped everywhere you go.

I always have at least 5 in the bank. I use them all by level 55 or so. That is even pending, due to a particular character. Sometimes I have a character fully built with 10 or more in the bank.

i may save them if i'm undecided on what to put them in

Sometimes I'll save them if I'm close to being able to unlock a perk I want.

I had about 17 perks saved up and then I unleashed them all on alchemy, enchanting and smithing. I did the wrong thing and listened to people saying that these 3 things can kill your game. But in all honesty it has actually opened up my game a lot more now since I can pick up alchemy ingredients on my travels and use the potions to boost my enchantments and smithing. I make sure that I don't become op so I always make sure my health and armour rating is low and I now play on master setting.

I have 3 saved up...just waiting for the right skill to use them on.
