Any rather "strange" things you do/tactics you use in the Skyrim? Mine is in the title. :disco:

This also worked in Oblivion for me too.

i usually go from light armor to normal clothes if im going sneak mode.

in the beginning when I sneak i take my shoes off until I get the shrouded boots from the DB.

Until I get my sneak skill up, get a muffle spell and the weightless heavy armor perk I sneak nekkid quite often.

Only wear my helmet in dungeons. Don't like the way it looks but like the protection it offers.

My character sometimes changes her entire set of clothes in the middle of shops. I imagine Belethor's eyes have popped out.

I also move the camera up and down or side to side to symbolise nodding/shaking her head.

To hell with sneaking. My Orc charges right into the enemy and bashes their heads with his hammer while cursing in the dragon language.

This is too easy and not fun.Two handed is not overpowered like 1handed but still sneaking is fun

With mage i can kill anyone evrywhere without letting them touch me on master difficulty. But im gone swtich to warrior and thief

I thought this was a reference to naked snake from mgs3. I was disappoint.

I developed this habit with new characters when the game first came out because the only hints at what effected chance of detection didn't specify one article of clothing per se, such as boots in Oblivion. Worn weight being the assumption I went with led me to just remove all worn items. Since you can just go into the inventory menu and pop on your armor if you get into a fight, sneaking naked became the norm habit.

I often only realize I never put anything back on when I get a comment from someone in town long after I return for errand running.

I thought I was the only one who did this?

No, I don't change clothes. I used to. I used to carry an "Adventuring" set and a "On-the-town or at home" set. But then I found I was carrying way too much so now I wear my armor all the time.

And sneaking isn't overpowered? On my thief I can one shot anything found in dungeons and never be seen.

Every playstyle (Mage, Archer, Thief, Warrior etc.) gets easy after level 25-30.

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 12:27 pm

Id imagine seeing someone sneaking up on you naked would be a lot scarier to a bandit that just seeing someone sneaking up on you

My mage was never nearly as easy as my Thief. My thief not only has way more health and armor, even though he only wears light armor, but he does way more damage than my mage and the enemy never sees it coming. The thief class is by far the easiest in the game at later levels.

i insist on having a weapon for every situation and if i cannot obtain a full set of armor quickly i wont use it.

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 11:31 pm

and if a weapon or armor looks innefective or unreliable i wont use it needless to say ive never touched an ebony sword or lifted volendrung or a daedric battleaxe or worn forsworn armor .

Your character would be a pretty poor assassin if you couldn't one-shot enemies and were seen.

I always hide the bodies of those I've slayed weather or not it makes a diff. in if I get caught.

» Fri Jun 15, 2012 11:04 pm

I will stay in one place in sneak mode for 5 or 10 minutes IRL time just watching what enemies are doing in a cave or dungeon. After I have figured that out do I strike.

This would have worked in Oblivion, but I believe Skyrim uses the weight of all of your armour, and not just the boots, determine how much noise you make.

Well Im playing an ugly imperial who relys on unarmed gauntlet attacks with his right arm, and a very high block skill. He also wears an imperial officer helmet, and is naked otherwise...pretty good laugh actually

Even if it's a lesser challenge I prefere to play as a thief than as a magician. I died quite a lot in the beginning levels and I keep on killing companions or good npc's because of the blast radius. :confused:

Me and my brother do Extermination missions for Aela and squish the animal's body in the fireplace. I say squish due to the fireplace being half as big as Ice wolves and such lol. Unfortunately Sable Cats can't be moved :/
