Well, somebody has too much free time on their hands...

LoL so true. I was hoping I'd see Jyggalag and his Knights of Order. But noooo, they simply put Sheogorath back
Where's my Jyggalag? The guy is awesome at its best

EDIT:
Btw, isn't 10k hours the time needed to be a master at something? I read somewhere 10k hours is the equivalent of 8 years or 10

Regarding lockpicking, I think the easiest method of balancing would simply be to (1) make each class of lock harder to pick via the mini-game, and (2) make picks considerably more rare. If both those were done, the perks would be worth the investment.

If that were the case I could see it being a smart idea to return the mages' open lock spells and add an option for the musclier types to simply break locks or smash the lids and hinges of chests. It would be noisy, and perhaps set off traps, and maybe even damage some fragile contents, but it would make sense.

Or, somebody only plays ES and a handful of strat games.

Uh, I'm not gonna' say a bad thing about you bud. It's all good. I'm sure you're all about your rp style......calm down.

I have rp builds still existing on my windows 95 dinosaur....hard drive with 30+ characters saved (and you can guess which game in the TES series that would be).

Daggerfall alone svcked up over 1500 hours alone, Morrowind I can't count..........and, Since the release of the Morrowind overhaul mod.......I have it installed yet again.....and, yes, it's a masterpiece

I bow to your infinite wisdom ..

I have RP builds still from my Avalon Hill RPG transformation (Wooden Ships and Iron Men RPG transformation), before there was even D&D. This is turning into a fun (honestly) little pissing match.

Morrowind was great.

Daggerfall was my first love.

Oblivion was a disaster, but I played it and played it and tried to like it past the 2000 hour mark.

Arena.....was ............my first free game. hahahaah.

Skyrim .......Haven't formed a complete opinion yet.

Yeah, no. Take it to PMs if need be and let the thread get back on topic.

I was just joking. I wont continue.

It's not really a pissing match from my end. I 'm guessing you have the same grey color hair that I do.

D & D .....yep.

still have a red manual here somewhere.......I believe it's a collector's item, but not quite one of the "very first"

I respect you man........I really do....

It's all good here.

I will stay on topic from here on out.......promise

Skyrim: skills need help

Oh, give me a break? 10,000 hours? In a game that came out six years ago? I'm calling BS on that. 10,000 hours is 416 days and some odd hours. Are you seriously claiming to have spent a sixth of the past six years playing Oblivion? Bull.

It was more like 8000, look at my edit. And yes, around 170 builds plus. That's about right. Its pretty much all I ever played. That's something like 333 days, that's about right for OB. Of which I still play, Morrow as well.

You know, being an acrobat is less of a class and more of a vocation. A true anomaly, though fun in Oblivion, but ultimately has little bearing in the grand scheme of things.

So, technically, you can still create any 'class' you want.

I mean, I can't play a window washer in Skyrim... but you get my drift.

Fair enough.

The point is, the system of skills and perks in Skyrim allows you to create any sort of build, really. Unarmed combat is not really a factor in the game now, so there's that, but anything that's in the game can be combined however you want. Sneaking, thieving, archery, melee, several kinds of magic, smithing, etc., can all be combined into whatever you want.

Uh..who are you, Jesus Christ? I don't think so cutey.

I won't 'do' anything based off your whim. No one has made any personal attacks. I don't need to "attack" you to point out your huge hypocritical tendencies. I could simply post some of your post on this forum here via copy and paste. Is that a personal attack too?

Do you want me to massage your feet?

Post limit, in any case. Feel free to carry on in a new thread.
