Sounds to me like it's going to be interesting trying to remember which skills can be perked and which can't... :)

Illusion and Destruction are worthless without perks, sneak will have to be perked for a thieves round... Archery is only really useful with sneak perks... Eh, just thinking out loud here... :)

《 snerk 》yup...but if on our entries we say... xxxx skills perked... easy-peasy... put a post-it on your tv/ monitor...

Decisions. ..decisions ... which mods to add... which skills to perk...

Full illusion/ sneak... archery. ..destruction in a pinch, cunjuration for a clean getaway... light armor,...why bother perking... can't smith anyway. .wear the best you find/ steal/ buy... horse for traveling...or carriage when convenient.


It can be done... glass cannon...just gotta remember that.

Heh, does this assume you can read a post-it that isn't large enough to cover the whole monitor? :D

OK I def need to figure a build out but I have an idea.

Sneak
Archery
Illusion
Light armor

My usual build.

Pickpocket is quite useless without perks, fail chance is too high on everything useful. I'm good at the lockpick game so I don't perk lockpicking.

I probably won't use magic outside illusion.

Y'know, my entire desk is covered with "important" info that ranges from various console commands to alchemy fpormulas to yesterday's shopping list. I never look at any of it, because I know I'll never find what I'm looking for anyway... :D

I put stuff in files. I have one called miscinfo.txt - it has console commands for stuff I use over and over. I have one called containers.txt - it has the extras I add to houses to satisfy my OCD tendencies (list in text file so I don't miss something....) I have ones for the gallery and armory setups for Cynn's houses. I open all those when I start playing - because I just never really know when I'm going to need something....

Doesn't do me any good to open a file before I start playing, I can't access them without closing out the game first anyway... I can in FO4, but not Skyrim.

You can't alt-tab in Skyrim? Why not?

It simply does nothing at all. Anything that DOES minimize Skyrim (like some AV messages or Windows notifications) destabilizes the game, and I have to go back to a previous save no matter what.

Well, that's just weird. I can alt-tab out just fine (and have been able to do so since I played on XP - and on win 7 as well as now on win 10) - as long as I remember to open the console first. If I fail to open the console, I get the windows cursor on top of the game screen - which is harmless but VERY annoying.

Hmm. You don't have the game and steam installed to program files on C: do you?

Nope, it's actually installed on H:

The only time I can get away with minimizing the game though is when the windows cursor appears in the game. If it does, I can then minimize Skyrim, maximize some other app like FRAPS, click on that apps title bar and tehn minimize it. I can then bring Skyrim back up with no windows mouse, but Skyrim can no longer be minimized.

Huh. You only have one monitor? I have two, thinking about a third one maybe.... and maybe that has something to do with it being relatively simple for me.

i couldn't live without two screens. Pretty sure I need that third one....

Yep, only one monitor. If I DID have a second one, it would probably blow my circuit breaker. Old house, old electrics, and as it is I can only run one thing at a time. Like it's the microwave or the toaster, or the washing machine, but never any two at once. :)

Uh.... older than 35 years? That's how old this house is. Of course, we built it ourselves to far stricter specs than county code....

So, maybe try using your phone as a screen?

Heh, my house would call yours "Junior"... This house was already over 10 years old when my mother moved in in 1961... :) Still has the original electrics, plumbing, but the heat has gone from oil furnace to wood back in 1985 or so.
