Wait for them to land and knife (+add poisons). Or destruction spells - often a combination of both. And Shouts.
I use archery for sneak shots, but rarely other than that unless I'm trying to up the skill.

You're better looking than me. I'm sure those dragons are coming in for a closer look. I've been hit with arrows, swords and spells doing the same thing. Alas I finally leveled up so I'm safer these days lol

Oh you!
:P

I simply run up to a mage and chop their heads off! Plus I have the perk where my armor weighs nothing, and my stamina is high (can carry 410) so really I have two swords weighing about 12 each, not much at all really. That and I can resist looting everything that isn't nailed down. I go for weapons then go and enchant them and sell them for even more!

I have many houses, and a wife now, I need all the pennies, and I manage to get quite a lot!

I use that and the dragon always lands 200 meters away and I have to run like crazy before it takes off. I always hit the wrong key too. I just mash the A,Z,X are and hope I hit right key.

happywondering · 02-07-2013, 08:59 PM

But if you do it when the dragon has landed then it is easier, and not so much running involved.

I also tend to take screenshots a lot, so I am going to show off my character. I want to see everyone else's characters too! Unless you are unfortunate to not have it on PC

I think I wear the same mask. I have glass armour because it only 4 pounds. I'll have to fire up the FRAPS and get a pic

lau_83 · 03-07-2013, 11:28 PM

I miss my dragon bone armour. I cant make any cos my smithing isnt high enough since the restart

Isoverity · 08-07-2013, 06:57 PM

Here I am with my battle wench Lydia. Some of you probably have her too but don't tell me or I'll ditch her lol. My mask gives me extra carry weight. There are better ones but I can't give up the storage ability

Bellatrix · 08-07-2013, 07:24 PM

Nice.
I just played a little after ages of not, and it made me feel sick - the motion, not the game ;P

Isoverity · 08-07-2013, 07:32 PM

Oh a new weapon - you can hurl at enemies like the big spiders who vom that green stuff at you from across the swamp.

Bellatrix · 08-07-2013, 08:58 PM

Bloody hate those things.
And horkers, when you stumble upon an entire group of them and accidentally piss one off - and they all start at you.

How do I screenshot my character?

Isoverity · 08-07-2013, 09:05 PM

Lol @ "horkers" - I know what you mean. Nothing like emerging from under the cold water and finding a bunch of horkers around you.

I am on PC so cant say anything about consoles. To get your front in the photo you need to put away any weapons you're holding. Sheath your magic too if you have fire hands on or something. Use your mouse to get a distance view of yourself and move to your front. If you have weapons out you can't see your face because you will stay in attack mode. I use FRAPS app to get screencaps. Others use the windows technique which I never messed with haviing better apps. I think you press "Print Screen" and then past to Paint or something like that. Happywandeing will know but its also online

Bellatrix · 08-07-2013, 09:12 PM

I'm PC too love! How dare you accuse otherwise :p
(I'm just a blasphemer as I use a UBS controller)

Isoverity · 08-07-2013, 09:29 PM

Ah yes I remember you were posting about a controller once. Apple notebook was it? Sounds good although I have to have a least a 21" screen and never liked notebooks but I understand notebooks are what a lot of people grew up on. I think I will do the Dark Brotherhood quest. I've killed and decimated everything else. I cant even find any giants left. Maybe I'll get a new companion too.

happywondering · 08-07-2013, 10:04 PM

I use the built in steam app for capturing screenshots. Just hit F12.

With perks, spells, rune stone blessings etc you can become almost anything you want operationally. Its hard to change how you look but nobody really how anyone looks.
