Alchemy is hard to get up... though I have(had) like fifty potions of sorcery too. I love the Staff of Worms, don't you!

Sorry, I didn't know at the time. My mistake.

Yes, the Staff of Worms is pretty awesome. In fact I recently visited the Echo Cave again so that I could find a Grand Soul, luckily I found a Grand Soul gem in a box and I found a Daedric helmet. It's fun to revisit caves, especially when completely chameleonized. By the way, does the Staff of Worms work on Dremora?

I just spent around 6000 gold on enchanting some armor I got (I found a cuirass of Chameleon that was chainmail so I enchanted some mithril armor), now I'm completely invisible, though the Guards can still find me to stay "Stop, you violated the law!" Though the Guards can find me to yell, when we fight they immediately lose sight of me and I can stay crouched to get x6 damage for every shot.

I don't even have 200 magicka, just 160.

When you remake your character, Banryx, how much magicka do you expect him to have?

My first character is a Nord, and right now I'm trying to balance Magicka and a warrior, or a battlemage. Right now, I'd guess he has about 150 magicka, but I'm not sure. I'm not very high in intelligence, its just that I picked the Apprentice that, sadly, comes with a 100% weakness to magicka as well. But, then again, my second record I'm making a Khajiit that's going to be all stealth and assassination.

You have a lot of magicka already, impressive, though it's too bad you're vulnerable to magic. You could benefit from an enchanted ring on a priest in one of the Thieves Guild quests that grantss 100% resistance to fire. The priest is in the Turning a Blind Eye quest and is conviently located beside Savilla's Stone, he isn't hard and you can easily make the turret gem do most of the damage. Also the Gray Cowl gives you 200 Detect life, 200 Feather, and +25 to Sneak in addition to the Cowl's obvious trait.

As for the Khajiit idea, sounds good. I suggest enchanting five pieces of equipment with Chameleon, you're completely invisible and you can interact with things. The Thieves Guild last quest was pretty easy with full Chameleon, but otherwise...

Yeah, I decided against the whole "Khajiit" idea. I decided I may as well focus on my main character.

The highest you can possibly EVER get your macicka is like 1124 or something. You do it by making an Altmer, with an Atronach birthsign, get his Intelligience to 100, fortify eight pieces of armor with a transcendent sigil stone, which boosts magicka 50 every item, and various quests where your intelligence can be put over 100. Isn't that insane!

Now that I finally have a full set of Daedric armor (I had a lot of trouble finding the gauntlets so I killed some chick in full Daedric armor to get the gauntlets) I can enchant some of it with fortify attributes. Currently I'm a Journeyman of both Conjuration and Illusion as well as a Master of Sneak and Security, my Acrobatics is also Master while I'm wearing some special shoes I got in a Theives Guild quest. What quests increase Intelligence because I desperately need my Intelligence increased? (My Argononian is the bumbling idiot of Cyrodil!)

A Khajiit sounds cool, but what's special about them? An Argonian is already good at Sneak and Security, as well as the ability to breathe underwater; what special attributes do Khajiit have (besides being jerks to Argonians

)?

Uh, Dark Brotherhood Blessing of the Night Mother, and I dunno many others. So, you're on your own.

Khajiit have night eye as a lesser power and can see in the dark for no magic. Also, they are quick naturally and good at sneak naturally, as well as pure awesome.

Also, did you know they announced Elder Scrolls 5 as coming out in 2010? Like Officially.

I found it. Abyss, look it up on UESP. It's like the best sword ever. It rivals Umbra.

True, but enchanting your own sword has its own charm.

Elder Scrolls was cool. I liked it. I played it. It was fun.

But the AI SUCKED! They didn't even run from the invisible lizard.

But anyways, I liked it. Still, it won't find its way into my house anytime soon.

Strange. I honestly think the AI in that game is pretty good, well, as far as AI goes. I know what you mean in lack of AI though. Still, with about 200 hours of gameplay its a nearly limitless game, don't you think?

I think, from what I saw, It was very good. But yeah, some of the AI bugged me. The invisible man was one, Stupid Lizards (Max used smite of rage on one. He killed a man. And then promptly exclaimed "Someone has been murdured"), The gaurds will not defend themselves till they have captured you, Crazy ladies fist fighting a swordsman. I thought there were a few screwed up codes in there.

But aside from my little rant, it was huge. Really hard to pick up and play. Then again, I ain't a first person guy. Pickpocketing was fun. Best Thieving aspect I have ever seen in a game. Spells were fun. Monsters were rather intelligent. I rode a horsie

. So it was great.

((STUPID LIZARDS!!!))

Well, Abyss tends to play in first person, I honestly hate it. There's an option to play in third person, though.

Well, that tends to be diffcult when chameleon is on. I tried it and I couldn't see my lizard man. Can you pick up things in 3rd person?

You can pick up things, but its harder. I tend to fight, walk around, sleep, and do almost everything in third person. But talking to people and picking up objects I do in first person. I suppose I have a moderate differential.

Eh, I guess it's all down to the variables.

I tend to use Third person when I'm fighting, sometimes while I'm sneaking, and when I'm walking around smaller or open areas. I use First person when I'm casting spells, most of the time while I'm sneaking, and when I need to talk to someone/grab something/activate something.

I stopped using Chameleon 'cause I got bored with it and the AI idiocy that came with it. I'm strong enough to just walk around in Zealot robes and be fine (or Sheogorath's Regalia while I'm in the SI). I'm currently trying to do the Knights of the Nine quest where I confront Umaril.

Have you done pilgrimage? Its an annoying quest finding the wayshirnes, but I think its worth it for the greater power Pilgrim's Grace, and some vision where you're above Imperial City.

Yeah, I HATED that. From now on I always where the Cowl when commiting a crime. Anyways I finished The Knights of the Nine, it was fun. Umaril was pretty weak, I actually thought the Aurorans were tougher than him.
