Don't use Atronarchs as he can turn them against you and since he's undead, you should use Fire spells and fire enchanted weapons. He also uses a lot of lightning spells so make sure to have something that improves shock resistance. I.e potions or armor.

I don't know if you have the hiltskin power, but it really helps. I just used that and wailed on him with my glass warhammer, which worked out pretty well for me.

About some of the ores in the game what are some real life examples to ebony and some of the strange titled ones?

I walked up to him and stuck him with the pointy end.

Okay, so I managed to beat him by just hiding behind a pillar and firing arrows at him, since he just wailed from left to right the entire time, not doing anything. Whatever, at least that shit is over with. Thanks for the tips :)

I don't think Ebony even exists.

Ebony exists, but it's a dense wood instead of a metal.

What would you say that the most useless skills in the game are? Probably speech and pickpocketing. Having a silver tongue won't save you from a blade, and you can get everything you need without picking pockets. The rest of the Thief skills are dope though.

Meh, it's pretty cool to buy expensive shit from merchants and then steal the money back :P. As for speech, I guess it's only nice to get discounts, that's it.

Certainly not worth putting perks into. Hopefully these are the skills that Bethesda puts some more work into next time to make them more compelling. Lockpicking is fine, but they need to make more scenarios in game where a character who knows how to pick locks will be saved from a good dumber of pain in the ass work-arounds.

Yeah I meant in the form of ore, like he was asking about.

You mean like hiring Obsidian to flesh out one of their games again?

Corundum is a crystalline form of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) with traces of iron, titanium and chromium.[1] It is a rock-forming mineral. It is one of the naturally clear transparent materials, but can have different colors when impurities are present. Transparent specimens are used as gems, called ruby if red and padparadscha if pink-orange. All other colors are called sapphire, e.g., "green sapphire" for a green specimen. The name "corundum" is derived from the Tamil word %u0B95%u0BC1%u0BB0%u0BC1%u0BA8%u0BCD%u0B A4%u0BAE%u0BCD "kuruntam" meaning "ruby", and related to Sanskrit "kuruvinda".[3] Because of corundum's hardness (pure corundum is defined to have 9.0 Mohs), it can scratch almost every other mineral. It is commonly used as an abrasive, on everything from sandpaper to large machines used in machining metals, plastics, and wood. Some emery is a mix of corundum and other substances, and the mix is less abrasive, with an average hardness near 8.0. In addition to its hardness, corundum is unusual for its density of 4.02 g/cm3, which is very high for a transparent mineral composed of the low atomic mass elements aluminium and oxygen.

Sneak is so overpowered that renders the game boring if mastered.

It is pretty powerful once you get to 100 and unlock the Shadow Warrior perk. You can pretty much just sneak and then turn into a puff of smoke and slit anyone persons neck that you so please.

It's so powerful it renders the combat engine useless.

No. Never again. New Vegas was a glitchy, boring, piece of shit game and I'm glad i ripped the disk in two when I did. I will never waste money on a game created by them again. NEVER AGAIN!

Hahaha you could've sold it at Gamestop.

No I couldn't have. New vegas wasn't some game that can be handed in for money or store credit, it was a fucking demon that needed to be destroyed.

Not all was lost though, after that dissapointment I went looking for another RPG to play to get my fix, I eventually ran into Oblivion, and that's when I fell in love with the Elder Scrolls. Kind of sad though how I had more fun from a game released in 2006 than I ever did with Fallout New Vegas, which was released in 2010.

Nice glitch (don't know if it has already been discovered or not): try equipping the Morokei Mask and the Archmage's Robes at the same time, and see what happens.

It kinda makes you look like Anubis from Stargate SG1.

Is it the face disappearing? Because that's exactly what has happened to me while wearing both of them. Although, sometimes it reappears after a loading screen. I kind of like that glitch though.

Destroying the disk out of anger is a completely normal and rational thing to do and not in any way crazy or going overboard. Right guys?

I coudln't broke a disc , I just rent them at the Video Club lol .... I can't afford that...

You clearly know my opinion.

Question: Has anyone played Rage? If so, is it really as bad as I've heard people make it out to be? If it is and comparing that to New Vegas maybe this is some kind of trend by Bethesda to publish games made by a less than stellar quality third party. And if that's the case, maybe nobody else should touch the elder scrolls games.

You liked Oblivion over Fallout: New Vegas?

I would understand if you liked Skyrim more than New Vegas but come on...there is so much wrong with Oblivion compared to FN:V

The truth must be said, New vegas was a chore to play while once I got the hang of Oblivion I had a great time despite the game's flaws.

Oblivion was fun back in the day, and I have put more hours into it than any other game.
