[QUOTE=Lunavium;52299]Guard outside Riften tried to scam me out of some gold by demanding a visitors 'tax'. Dragon swooped down and ate him. Justice is sweet.[/QUOTE]

Saw that shit coming from a mile away, so I walked in through the meadery.

BTW at this point I'm throwing 300 damage per hand and have max armor (589 or something; 80% damage reduction, more armor does not help you) and 100% destruction cost reduction.

Draugr, Restless Draugr, Draugr Wight, Draugr Scourge, Draugr Overlord, Draugr Deathlord; seems fairly substantial to me.

The armor rating is about 450, somewhat low only because my heavy armor is not maxed out yet, and I didn't focus on the armor boost perks. I'm using highly-improved daedric armor, though. My blades are doing 200 each because my one-handed is maxed out, they are daedric swords, they are improved to the maximum, and almost everything I wear has fortify one-handed enchanted on it. Once I near max-level, I'll fill out the heavy armor perks and have well over 1000 armor.

Current gold is around 600,000 (what the fuck). Most of it was earned by crafting. At one point I made 400 dwarven metal ingots and ran around using the right-hand dual weapon power attack (lunges you forward quickly, spammable) and the whirlwind sprint shout in order to carry back all that stuff. This was a week ago. I still haven't sold all the shit I made with those ingots.

Oh God I'm now level 53 and am rocking over 200 damage in each hand (dual power attack deals well over 1000 damage), plus nearly 400 armor rating (and I don't even have most of the Juggernaut perk levels). What the fuck is this shit.

And I have more items than I could sell to all of the shopkeeps in the entire game, combined. I need 100 speech and both the +500 and +1000 to shop gold perks to get rid of some of this shit, since some of the items I have in storage sell for over 8000 gold a piece. Crafting will make your character unbelievably rich, very quickly.

Another thing that is OP is going for a smith-enchanter build (conjuration helps for the auto-soultrap and instant-dispel effects you get on bound weapons) because it lets you effectively double your damage/armor.

[QUOTE=McPwnage;46960]I had this o shit moment at shearpoint yesterday, first I had to kill off a dragon which was allright but when I went to claim my prize there was this magic undead dude that spawned out of a tomb and was impossible to beat. Eventually after a few tries I decided to just take my swag and run, I learned an entire word of power (all 3 parts) and got a bunch of cool stuff from the chest, and the impossible enemy had fallen off the cliff while trying to fight my follower. I was just like sweet and snuck away for a free sneak level up. Man you must have to be a rediclously high level to fight him.[/QUOTE]

I'm assuming that's the northwest area where you get the throw voice thu'um. That lich went down, fairly easily for me. I was around level 25 or so at the time, though.

My char is a conjuration/smithing/1handed/enchanting quadruple major, with a minor in speechcraft and heavy armor. The bound swords instakill summoned shit and automatically soul trap creatures, and are fairly powerful, while my crafted, enhanced, and enchanted weapons are the big guns that I pull out for the big fish. A good smith character is absolutely rigged; my epic-level enchanted ebony armor grants me about 260 armor, and my dual ebony swords push over 70 damage (with enchantments) each. With 100 smithing and the corresponding perk, you can improve almost any armor/weapon to literally double its original stats. At this point, I 1-hit bandits and such with even my bound swords.

I can kill just about anything with bound weapons at this point, already with conjuration at around 70. Lol at the "get a shiv" quest, when I could just summon a pair of fucking swords. Or a battleaxe. Or a bow.

Also: Dual summoned swords is helpful for moving quickly. Right-hand power attack moves you forward quickly even when over-encumbered, and when paired with the sprinting shout you can actually move fast enough to get back to a shopkeep. I needed this when bringing back dwarven metal from the Markarth mine while holding over 2000 in weight. I made about 400 ingots...
