Necro ftw!

Anyway, just got this game this easter and I have to say it's awesome. The story, the music, the art design, everything is amazing.

Imagine making a brief post on a game you like only for it to be ignored for 3 years.

Probably what is going to happen to my post too

Skyrim is really good. Didn't play it much for years, then spent most of 2017 grinding through the main story and a ton of other stuff. Probably the longest sustained period I've spent on a game non-competitively. Very good environment and insanely diverse in how it can entertain you.

Definitely going back in the future - did some research to find out when exactly I played, turns out I have the rarest trophy (?) but not some that are literally free (???) so I might trophy hunt for once

I started out as a mere argonian with no real purpose in life. I was just helping random people find their stuff. But now I have found a purpose to my existance: to bring as many souls to Sithis. I will lead my family to glory!

Hail Sithis!

Is there any other main storyline except Stormcloaks vs Imperials and Alduin? I'm thinking of starting over and trying a new build, but I'd like to complete the main storyline first (not interested all that much in completing all the remaining side quests).

I currently have a melee/heavy armor/conjuration argonian build. Was thinking of going for something like archery/destruction/thief build next.

So I've got this new mod that reworks sneak and detection to make it more realistic. Started this playthrough a few days ago, so my character is only level 16. Normally I'd sneak snipe everyone and call it a day, but it's actually harder now.

My question is: how the heck do I beat mages? I currently have an argonian that's somewhat decent at both archery and one handed/block (as decent as a level 16 can get). If I stay far and try to use my bow, I get obliterated by fireballs or ice spikes. If I get to close, I get incinerated or frozen to death and I have to use like a million healing potions to even stand a chance. Getting behind cover doesn't really work as the fireball has such an insane radius I still take full damage.

Maybe I should just save a lot of gold to buy enchanted items that offer magic resistance, but that would just delay my death.

How do you guys approach such fights?
