also what is every ones character like? I have a Khajiit and am working on archery and sneaking with a little bit of illusion magic (seemed to fit in with the rest of the character) I am at the college of magic now but I hate it and cant see myself using much magic.

I'm Imperial... So predominately Hvy armour & Single/Double handed weapons. Also a nice gold bonus when searching, so I'm always mega rich so I've abused the wandering "trainer" people 5/5.

I got a block/strike ability that works awesome for most encounters.

- Put up the shield

- Walk over to attacker

- Bash then with the sheild which knocks them back.

- Then hack into them

REPEAT.

Works especially well in hallways when exploring mines/quests.

Once you get up close to even high level spell casters, they barely get a spell onto you so you absolutely smash them. Only issue sometimes is getting close as advanced guys have "frost" which slows you down massive. But i have a shield which reduces frost attacks so i get over to them with minimal damage.

Also have lvl 3 SHOUT for Unrelenting Force. Soooo handy...

- Knocks enemies to the FLOOR for 3-4 seconds

- Does Dmg as well.

So you use it and just bash the bejebus out of em even for big boss types on quests. :thumbsup:

Funnily though my Destruction level is 20 points higher than anything else. Mainly because of Dragurs, being weak as piss to Fire, I just double-handed flame them and they die in seconds, very handy on a lot of quests. Probably the best thing to upgrade early IMO.

I'm level 20-21 at the moment. Been basically walking/exploring the map heaps and talking to get quests.

Going to start tonight actually going through them all as I have around 35-40 outstanding and most of the major map points located so i can fast travel easily :)

your set up sounds good, I have a few regrets about mine I am having a lot of trouble with one particular Dumner in the first of the quests associated with the college of magic, I just cant hurt him, Though I do have a scroll that shoots a decent fireball and a bow and axe that sets things on fire so perhaps I will try all that on him. I have level 3 unrelenting force too...but it doesnt knock this guy down? Maybe it isnt level 3 after all

I sorta just stumbled across it with Destruction as low level flame as a destruction spell is shit.

BUT - I upgraded Destruction twice to the point of "dual cast", and spells are MUCH stronger. Chews magika faster, but its ok as enemies die fast as which is a better result when you have 5-6 enemies hurtling at ya.

A general "boss" tactic i use vs the Dragur Dreadlords especially is shoot 2 seconds/run, shoot 2 seconds/run. It's the only way to beat them as I simply cannot win hand-to-hand unless i have 11ty potions for H/S which gets annoying using all the time. Also works as the Fire spells still "burn" for a few seconds after so constantly hammering them with Fire i found was less effective. It just drained magika faster.

This tactic also works on Mammoths, Trolls & Dragons in close range ;)

Also high level Dragurs have their "power" hit. It'll often critially strikes you = instant dead even with shield. Hence no H-2-H unless i have allies with me to draw their attention.

For the Shouts: You have to hold it down and "charge" it. Pressing it does the first, Pressing for 2 seconds does the 2nd and holding it down until it releases does the "uber" one which sends shit flying like they are leaves :)

OHHHHHH thanks for the tip on the shout, I didnt know that, I can dual wield my flames too I think, so when I get home my plan will be, set him on fire with arrows until he gets closer, the try your flames then run method, will also see if I can knock him down with the shout and set him on fire with a few swings of the axe while he is down. Thanks for the food for thought!

Took me a lot of frustrating re-attempts to workout the best method for Dragurs lol.

Anything upto a level 4 Dragur - Melee is fine. Anything higher is flame/run technique.

Just google if you want to know the levels of creatures so you can easily tell which ones to ;)

So i carry a full Stell Armour suit and Apprentice Robes of Destruction - perfect for any situation.

You don't have to use magic for the college quests. It's probably not worth doing them unless you are a mage character as the quest reward are magic related, although...

You get the Arch Mages room to live in which has alchemy/enchanting table, chests, bed etc. in it (looks good as well) as he dies as part of the college quests.

We do have "spoiler" tags you know :)

I've edited for ya haha.

But ye RE: Mage Guild Quests - Im not using Magic for half of them. Just bashing my way through for EXP/Enchanted items so i can buff my armour/weapons. So IMO they are quite handy to do even if you aren't Mage driven.

My main is currently level 43 (haven't done any of the main quest) with heavy plate, block, 1 handed weapons, smithing, enchanting and conjuration. Has put every single point into health and has nearly 600hp. With 100 heavy plate and all the perks, plus filled upgraded daedric armour, he's a f**king tank. I've also gone Brenton which grants 25% magic resist (or 75% with their ability for 60sec).

I'm going to remake though as a sneaker. Sneak attacks are so much fun. Going to play on the hardest difficulty focusing on dual wielding, and all the crafting abilities. A mate of mine has maxed alchemy, smithing and enchanting and has a one handed mace that does like 500 damage. You keep cycling the crafting abilities up. e.g. Make a potion that increases enchanting, enchant an items that increases alchemy, make another potion that further increases enchanting, etc, until you have potions/enchanted armour that increase smithing by like 300%. Then make stupidly strong daggers and go for the 30x backstab.

I have been focusing on making strong bows and have the perk where sneak bow attacks do 6x at this stage (I am only level 11 or somthing) that is lots of fun and pretty effective too.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
