What is your best skill? : V - Skyrim

» Sun Jun 10, 2012 3:44 am

Or better yet, what are your top three skills?

For me Destruction of 92, Alteration of 81, and Alchemy of 77 at lvl 41.

I am curious how and what other people have done.

The total break down for me would be:

Illusion 50
Conjuration 54
Destruction 92
Restoration 53
Alteration 81
Enchanting 44 (largely just from charging items)
Smithing 33
Heavy Armor 17
Block 20
Two-Hand 17
One-Hand 45
Archery 49
Light Armor 34
Sneak 70
Lockpicking 69
Pickpocket 20
Speech 60
Alchemy 77

Currently level 58

Archery... all i need is archery its 100
Sneak 92
Then healing 62
Destruction 62
Alteration 100
Enchanting 99

Anyone else feel that these numbers are essentially meaningless? Sneaking is pretty much as fun at 50 as it is at 100... perhaps more fun. And a bow skill of 50 vs. 100, both kill the target. Skyrim isn't about the end-game... I doubt anyone could even define it.

Perhaps, then again perhaps not. It does show what is important to people. Either because they used it enough to get the skill to where it is or because they desired it enough to work it to where it is.

Sneak and alchemy do seem to be very important to people wouldn't you say?

Archery, 1-hand, 2-hand, then destruction seem to be the primary choices for damage output. With some conjuration added for at least one person.

All in all very interesting.

One-Handed on my Battlemage.

Bit disappointed at playing a Battlemage, since I've got a full mage ready, I'd be better off having made a sword&board fighter.

On both of my characters 2 handed is 100, so yeah, I'm going to have to go with that
