Ok, so, what is the ultimate light armour and heavy armour? Not in terms of protection, but overall usability?

I think this depends a lot on whether you are also working on smithing and enchanting. I have 100 smithing and about 90 enchanting, and it's incredibly rare for me to find pieces of armor that are better than what I can make myself. I'm a light armor mage and I wear a full suit of custom-enchanted glass armor. I also have a full set of legendary dragonscale, but it's not enchanted yet because I'm waiting to hit 100 before I do so. I used to wear Dark Brotherhood stuff, but it just couldn't keep up with the vastly superior protection that my legendary glass armor has. With high enchanting, you can also make sure you get exactly the enchantments you want, instead of having to decide between less optimal protection for more preferable enchantments.

The only exception I've found to this are a certain set of masks that I won't discuss further due to spoilers. Those things, with smithing improvements, are absolutely superb.

[SwordsMaster]

Well, I'm lvl 30 now, my smithing is at around 65, and enchanting at a pathetic 35, but I use some gloves I found me that raise smithing an extra 17%, so I don't do too badly. Besides, I skipped Orcish and Dwarven on the development cycle. Still not sure if that will allow me to unlock further levels...

[thefluffyone93]

DEbony armour looks good but then Ebony ore is so rare as it is that I'd much rather save it for crafting Daedric stuff later.
So despite having found bits of other higher tier armour, I'm still sticking with my steel plate at level 23.

Problem solved.
Chances are you need to do a quest to get to it though.
But not me, no siree.

It's good being an orc.

ALSO.

I used to do well in school......BUT THEN I TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE.

Had to be done, sorry.

[tibilicus]

Any opinion on which shouts are best? "Force" shout versus i'm breathing flames shout?

[Greyblades]

OHHH DA-VING!!! Gets my vote.

[easytarget]

Just got this for my b-day yesterday, so, installed over night, and now I've just finished running through the intro. Looking forward to some fun this weekend!

Yeah but with a flying dragon around its alot easier to maintain stealth and backstab people who are all looking up at the big dragon and anyone that is too weak to be worth killing usually gets killed in the first pass. Unrelenting force has its ups but I find when fighting outdoors all it does is make it harder for me to find lootable bodies as anyone killed by unrelenting force has an annoying habit of getting chucked into a really hard to get area.

Loaded an old messed-up game, patch was no help. Bah. I guess I'll just re-roll.

[Husar]

hmm...

[rajpoot]

My rig will probably blow up if I tried something like that.

@thefluffyone93
Went to the mine. Got enough ebony. Thanks.

Her face is so close to the camera that I always smile when she says "Dragonborn comes".

Yea.

[Lemur]

Too much reverb. She has a lovely voice; no need to gild the proverbial lily.

Meanwhile, Zero Punctuation has as close to a positive review as Yahtzee ever gets. Warning: Zero Punctuation pretty much always contains some sort of obscenity. Not safe for work, grandma, or smallish children.

[Vladimir]

Minecraft was almost positive too. It all came down to having a plan before you start.

I have zero respect for his reviews since he nakedly trolled in his War for Cybertron review.

I doubt people watch his reviews for fair judgement of the games. His reviews are funny though, and that is why I always watch them.

[lars573]

But the kind of trolling he did for that one I find to be quite vulgar, and not funny.

[easytarget]

The joke is still entirely on you regardless if you take anything Zero says seriously.

Yatzee plays a caricature of himself in those vids. He often likes the games he is taking the mickey out of. However, his point is that there is no perfect game, and he points out the flaws accordingly.

[easytarget]

Yep, just punching holes in a very immature medium with comedy. If I'd been around and paying attention at the start of cinema or literature I'm sure there were folks doing the same thing.

These aren't game reviews he's doing people. ;)

I take no internet reviewer seriously. I STILL take issue with that kind of trolling, joke or otherwise.

This arrow to the knee thing is getting out of hand.

I agree 140%.

Personally I prefered the guy in Windhelm who used to be a soldier, but then he took a sword in the gut.

Was it one of those curved swords? CURVED SWORDS.
