If you were to grind out all your skills to 100, it's Level 81. But the slowdown will be great.

^ What more need be said?
I really will get around to in once I finish some of the major quest lines. Of course, first I need to start them. Just running around finding power words, and keep getting caught up in the quests that present themselves. And boy do they ever present themselves. Btw, not all have a single ending either. I just did one today where, had I followed only the directions presented to me, it would have lead to the condemning of an innocent. However, I didn't like what I was seeing, and a little going about and interacting with all people/things involved let me get to the bottom of it all. Lesson learned: Don't just follow the arrows every time.

Not with this character. Since there are too many perks and not enough points to get them all, I'll be making a new one at some point and letting him focus on different perk trees. Since this one's mainly about destruction (Fire), restoration, and heavy armor, I intend to use him for the Main, Companions, and College quests of the major quest lines. The next will be more into the other magics, probably Alteration and Illusion, with other focuses on light armor, sneaking, and archery.
anyone heard any good "builds" for a redguard? i was thinking of sticking to destruction, onehanded, and light armour with some decent smithing and/or blocking. asi i dont have the game im not so sure how well that will work out though
alteration and, to a lesser extent, archery look kinda cool, though

For those not familiar with that game, there were a number of exploits that you could do to really break the game. The one most like this one is doable from the outset of the game. It involves using your alchemy skill to make potions that increase your Intelligence temporarily, which lets you make better potions that increase your Intelligence, which let's you etc, etc. When your Int is crazy high, not only could you make more potions for that, but ones for any stat. And with an Int that tops the 1,000,000 mark, they'd last forever.

During your shorter sessions, yes.

Frigging girlfriend interupting mah skyrim time.
Killed my first Blood Dragon Yesterday, then another showed up straight after it, 2 for 1 hunting ground.
Also when I got a whole word of power and slayed a dragon some weird floating skeleton started shooting fireballs at me. Took a bit to kill, just stayed close and used my bound swords duel welded so he couldn't use the fireballs on himself along with an atronoch. Got me a cool piece of headgear from him. Full mask. Sphere peak or something was the area, a gaurd mentioned seeing a dragon flying in the general area and it showed up on my map and I could Fast travel to it. By the way, do a shout in a town, after a while a courier shows up with interesting stuff, if you didn't know it already.

Omega's all about the nude mods...
WORD OF WARNING: Do not pick up any copies of the Invocation of Azura book. I found one long before I was assigned the quest to retrieve it and it's been sitting in my Inventory ever since. Finally found the guy who sends you after it, and the quest is now bugged. Can't get it out of the chest it says its in 'cause it's in my Inventory so the quest won't advance. Fortunately, it's just a misc quest, so it's no big deal. Glad it didn't break my game.
There are a bunch of those Litch guys, Liam. You'll occasionally find them near those word walls. Always drop their mask, several with different effects.

Aye got a quest item myself that won't remove either but I don't know what quest it's for. Still liking it. Werewolf power is useful, faster than a horse.

The chracter im using right now isn't really a heavy magic user so I died a horrible death.

I'd suggest buying and carrying scrolls of fireball/firestorm whenever you can if for no other reason than frost trolls. Even if you have a fire sword, you still have to get close to use it, and that means pain.
The "Marked for Death" Shout is also very helpful. Lowers enemy defense.
