Is the cumulative effect in Skyrim where you have max enchanting, smithing and alchemy, and use a potion to make you better at enchanting to make a smithing outfit, then use a potion to make you better at smithing, then smith; too good to the point where it was unintentional and I shouldn't use it?

It was better before the Unoffical Patch hosed it up, because all the "Fortify" enchantments on gear was considered restoration effects. The loop was:

1 Get a bunch of Fortify Alchemy gear
2 brew a fortify enchanting potion
3 unequip/reequip all your fortify alchemy gear
4 repeat 2 & 3 until you have some Fortify Enchanting +10 gajillion
5 make some new Fortify Alchemy & Smithing gear that has a + 10 gajillion%
6 Make some gloves/gauntlets with fortify unarmed strike + 10 gajillion points
7 Be One-Punch Man.

Depends on if you want the game to be super-easy or not.

On the third hand rubbing the temple above the third eye, it's an identical exploit to the one in Morrowind so it's obscene that they somehow didn't catch it.

I would only use it if you're, say, deliberately using leather armor and a plain steel sword because you like the aesthetic. Dual-enchanting all your poo poo so you can sneak around in heavy armor is also fun.

But one-shotting everything with insanely powerful weapons is boring.

The Great Twist
Off the top of my head, I liked the Forsworn Conspiracy, the lighthouse story, and the murders in Windhelm.

In the main quest, I liked when you had to infiltrate the Thalmor embassy. I always RP'd it up and took a minimal supply of items, and tried to do a stealthy infiltration and gather all of the dossiers. And I love murdering Thalmor so when stealth failed, it was a good consolation prize.

I'm also a huge sucker for the last questline. It was a cool set piece getting dropped off by Odahving, and then murdering your way through a horde of dragons, draugr, and a dragon priest. The Sovngarde follow up just topped it all off as a really atmospheric area. The Alduin fight, being a dragon, was still nothing exciting, but everything else was good.


Nothing really stands out from a pure gameplay perspective. Story or atmosphere are what usually stand out for me.

I rather like the Blackreach expedition questline where you have to retrieve the first scroll. The atmosphere + the increasing amount of chaos in the Sulla expedition (along with Sulla slowly losing his mind) had me on edge the first time I played through it, and that was before getting into Blackreach proper.

For gameplay I like the Dawnguard expansion, especially the Forgotten Vale stuff. Nightcaller Temple was also pretty cool the first time.

For story, it's got to be the part after you take Esbern to Alduin's Wall. I loved the meeting with Paarthurnax. Arngeir is interesting in this part too - he reveals he's on Alduin's side and literally refuses to help you stop him until he gets bitched out by the other Greybeards.

This was probably posted already, but here is a cool resource for reading TES NPC dialogue. you can search by game/character in the upper left, my bookmark is just set to Paarthy by default: http://content3.uesp.net/oblivion/cs/cslist.php?game=sr&formid=0x0003c57c

This is my vote. The Mehrunes Dagon quest is fun too, it's a nice Oblivion throwback and ends up with an NPC realizing he's made a terrible mistake :allears:

I usually start that quest being all sneaky and stealthy, then give up about halfway through and just butcher my way through a bunch of nazi elves.

Maybe it's an appropriate thing to say to you when you first get to town, but by the time you're landed nobility, and have either saved or helped usurp the Jarl's throne, he can probably cool it.

Or, if, y'know... You take a three-second walk.

I understand that the scaling is all hosed up in TES, but at least hide the part of the city that people reference (as if it's some big deal) in another cell, behind a loading screen, if necessary.

If C0DA is to be believed, Numidium gets sent in to a time warp after Tiber Septim uses it to destroy the 2nd Aldmeri dominion. It comes back (a la Alduin) in the 5th era and proceeds to destroy mankind and erase the Altmer. The Nerevarine, born again, appears riding Akhulakan and delays it long enough to allow the Dunmer and Khajitt to escape to the moon in a spaceship.
