I think you'll still find the game challenging with your best smithied gear if you're on the right difficulty. Still, I don't pretend any Elder Scrolls game is well balanced. It's why I usually limit myself to one of the three crafting skills. Also, if someone tells you some of the skills are weak or "useless", be sure to include one of those "useless" skills in your build. They're usually fun and the average player finds them very helpful, but min/maxers don't. Skyrim has a lot to offer min/max focused players. But honestly, the people who get the most out of it are the ones who just want to see everything the game has to offer, like myself.Applejack said:I agree about the difficulty thing but I could super smith my weapons to compensate so maybe I should use underpowered gear instead. I do kinda forget about shouts but I think thats because I only have one strong shout (ice breath all 3 words) but the recharge time is so long. And exploration yeah it's fun but I liked Cyrodil more because it has charm. Climbing mountains and finding sunsets was fun and when everythings reflecting on the water it's amazing. Also I have an xbox so maybe I should get kinect! Sounds fun.
Don't be afraid to use a shout even if you only have one Word for it. Even if you have all three, sometimes one is all you need. They will still be powerful and the cooldown will be short so you can use more of them.
Honestly, I don't think a Kinect would be worth it just for Skyrim. But if you were thinking about it anyway, maybe it's a good time.
You cannot make spells in Skyrim, but stick with it. You start at the bottom with the weak fire spray, but as you level and accumulate more powerful spells you start getting cool effects and spells that 'feel' really powerful. You just have to start at the bottom first hehe.I tried magic for a few hours and it feels like I'm spraying people with a weak fire extuingisher. Not really what I was expecting, can I make spells later?
