There are also a handful of special unique weapon and armor pieces available as quest rewards. Elder Scrolls has always been more about exploration than loot, but the dragon armor is a nice incentive to level smithing, and even mages have some pretty awesome gear to find if you run through their guild quests. Armor and weapon rewards fare a bit better in this entry as well. Your progression is noticeable and marked by how you fare against certain opponents, as it should be.
Enemies have a level range based on type and location, and you won’t find bandits running around in Daedric armor late-game. They can be found in the main quest, roaming the world, or even attacking towns without warning.Īmong the more general improvements to combat is a removal of Oblivion’s awful level scaling in favor of a much tamer version, similar to that found in Fallout 3. The types you encounter will depend on your level, and as soon as you’re able to trounce one sort of dragon you’ll start finding another challenging type. Dragons come in multiple types, starting with the weak brown ones and gradually increasing in difficulty to the very strong black-colored beasts. Dragons will even bite down on NPCs and animals, ripping them from the ground and tossing them to kill them instantly.
You will feel the force of their wings as they swoop past, and the ground shake as they land. There are three main reasons you’ll want to take the time to take them down: they provide souls which you need to unlock shouts, they provide scales and bones which you need to make the best armor in the game, and it’s really awesome to kill dragons! These dragons behave almost scarily realistically, flying most of the time to avoid your melee blows, and landing on buildings and other structures often to stay out of reach. The Skills are no longer increased through ranks, but through Skill Points earned as you level, which can be applied to any Perk in a Skill, assuming you meet the minimum Skill Level requirement.Īnd holy crap dragon fights are satisfying. The higher the level of the skill, the more experience you’ll gain toward raising your overall level, which will allow you to increase one of your three basic stats (Magicka, Health, and Stamina). This applies to all skills in the game, rather than just leveling from “major” skills like in Oblivion.
Every action you take in the game will level up a skill which will level up your character. For example, if you use one-handed weapons, you’ll skill up in it, and gain experience. Following Bethesda’s “You are who you play” moniker, you’ll level up via any skills you use in Skyrim. In a pretty bold move, Skyrim has removed all pretense of “classes” from the game, allowing you to grow and develop your character entirely independent of standard RPG roles. Development has never been richer in Elder Scrolls.
