A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I am an Imperial named Gord, and I have a few playstyles, as I'm learning which enemies are weaker to certain weapons or spells: generally, though, I'm using a 2h sword as my main DPS, switching to a sword and shield for extra defences, or having flames in one hand and healing in the other for DoT (or against enemies weak to fire)

Just try not to slip into sneaky Archer. It's overpowered.

I love 2H sword, it’s my favourite playstyle. Stealth archer is the cliché build but it’s a ton of fun too, and massively overpowered if you’re into that. It’s worth trying on a second playthrough for sure.

Have you done any major side quests or factions yet? Or just the main story?

[–] Icedrous@lemmy.ca 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The only side quest I did was returning the gold claw to a merchant, but I did that one by accident. Been doing MSQ so far, don't really want to overwhelm myself with too many quests.

Although, I did find out the very hard way that you could be caught "trespassing" in shops.

Yeah that’s fair. I don’t usually play the main quest these days, just side stuff since that’s imo the best content in any Bethesda game, but on a first playthrough the main quest can be pretty epic. I hope you enjoy your time with it.
