A RPG with the sales power of a FPS. Not bad Bethesda, not bad.

I need $60 to buy it myself though.

I became a werewolf on Skyrim, and it's amazing. It's just so satisfying picking up a bandit with one hand and throwing them off a tower, or casually swatting a guard through the air.

I should've joined the Dark Brotherhood on this character, since you don't incur bounty for crimes committed in wolf form unless someone sees you transform, so I'd be able to perform my assassinations without getting in trouble with the law.

I still need to try vampirism, but you can't do both on the same character, if you could, I would totally be a vampire werewolf argonian.

Vampire doesn't seem nearly as useful as Werewolf. Honestly, it feels more like a penalty than anything else.

DW is mostly what's keeping me less interested in Two-handed at the moment. Plus primitive "hold two things" vs "hold one thing" reasoning. I imagine the wide swing perk would be fun to play around with.

Yeah, the only thing I want from the vamp is the stealth boost, and I don't know how stealth is calculated yet. Still might roll one because the penalties themselves are kind of cool. Would need to test how annoying they become in the long run this time.

Right now, rewards seem to favour killing off the Empire. May still be because everybody is playing rebel and/or racist at this point.

Both sides are pretty fucked up. Rebel Racism or Totalitarian Twats, hooray! I've not touched any of them (hell, in 40 hours of play, I haven't done a single Main Quest after the initial Dragon kill) so I don't know if I'll get to like them more once entrenched. Which, given most people's outlook on the war, I wager that may be the point.

As for a Stealth Boost ... I wouldn't bother. At 1/5 on the perk, I can practically Stealth in front of minor enemies and they won't see me on my Stealth character. Made all the more ridiculous with the DB Boots removing sound from my steps for me. Considering the need to feed constantly, it seems more trouble than it is worth, really.

Hand-to-Hand isn't any skill tree as far as I know and Werewolf shouldn't level anything when attacking.

Edit: In case you're unaware, Werewolf form other drawback is that you can't loot while in it. It's nice for the speed boost and for basically being able to murder without getting a bounty (none of it gets tied back to you) but it's not perfect. It's still better than Vampire, though.

Not sure how Cushioned makes Heavy more mobile than Light; they have the same mobility when fully perked out (Conditioned vs Unhindered), but LA gets it earlier. Really, lessening fall damage isn't that big of a deal. You can trick it most the time due to just how you move up and down hills or mountain sides.

That said, I don't know if HA takes more falling damage than LA. Never looked into it since I rarely take falling damage to begin with.

[PLA]

Yeah, heard about the looting. I suppose there will be some situations where you end up running a fair distance and/or leaving many bodies and wanting to backtrack for loot. Or happen to kill something you want to loot and having to waste some of the power to stay close.

@Mobility, I was thinking full speed vertical movement, but now that I remember it, the Light stamina efficiency is probably more useful for average speed.
