The Suddenbrain team is at a clear consensus that the new leveling system in Skyrim is a drastic improvement over that of Oblivion, which could easily hinder you more than help. One of our favorite aspects of the new system is that some of the coolest perks are available at lower levels. We at Suddenbrain have put together a list of our favorite perks from each of the 18 skill categories in Skyrim, as well as listing some that we feel are missing from the game. Check it out and let us know in the comments what perks you think are missing in Skyrim.
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.
Big Bethesda Nintendo Switch eShop sale now live with lowest prices ever for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom (2016), and more.
I think twin souls is by far the coolest conjuration perk.
some of his ideas are cool, others aren't as much.
i love the "missing" Light Armor perk that would let you run faster in Light Armor. it wouldn't have to be a massive speed boost, but something noticeable would be cool.
i also like the Energy Saver perk, but only for letting high level Enchanters use their charges more slowly.
the ones i don't like, though, are Heavy Hitter and Swing Away. to put it bluntly, i think those are horrible ideas. there are one-handed and two-handed weapons for a reason--because 1H ones are quicker but still have decent power, and 2H ones are slower with immense power. those two perks would blur the line between 1H and 2H weapons too much.
i also don't like the Honor Student one. it's just kinda contrived and unnecessary.
interesting article, though.
Double enchantment is the best perk in the game
Bloody Mess!
One big flaw in this game is the inability to quick swap out weapon sets. Its such a distraction to have to pull up the fav menu, pausing the game, in a battle to swap from bow to melee weps.
