The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Archive: 638 posts

So, this might be a stupid question, but how does everyone find out how many hours they've played? Only place I could think of was the statistics section and I couldn't find anything there.

If you're on PC, click The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in your library. It'll be by PLAY.		2012-01-16 06:14:00

So I just encountered a dragon by Reachwater Rock. It sees me, blasts me with it's breath, then suddenly decides to ignore me and go fight something on the cliff above. I can't see what's going on up there but a few seconds later and after a lot of roaring, the dragon dies. So I trek my way up the mountain to investigate, and what do I find? A cave bear, standing over the corpse of the dragon it just killed.

Clearly bears > dragons in Skyrim. Makes me wonder why my first quest wasn't to run to the Jarl of Whiterun and warn him of the impending bear invasion.		2012-01-16 11:38:00

Have you been playing for long periods of time and is your console relatively old?		2012-01-16 15:41:00

Ok so you know that enthir guy in the college, who sells the good stuff? Well, he wouldnt sell anything to me. Turns out if you complete the college questline without talking to him, he doesnt do business with you. So I found that the fix is to complete the thieves line quest "hard answers". So I went through all that, and I spoke to him in his room, and he STILL wont trade with me. I have been all over the place, trying to scrounge up as many daedra hearts as I can, and two every 48 hours sounds nice. This is getting really annoying. I dont need to be told where daedra hearts are, I need to know whats going on. Can anyone help me?2012-01-21 04:11:00

You probably already read the wiki, but I found a little section that may be of use.

Enthir Inn fix ( Xbox 360, PS3, and PC ).

Go back to the Dwemer Museum (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Dwemer_Museum) in Markarth once you're done with Blindsighted (Quest) (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Blindsighted_%28Quest%29). This should trigger the Hard Answers (Quest) (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Hard_Answers_%28Quest%29) once again.
Finish the quest.
Karliah will give you another Nightingale Blade and walk out. Don't worry, this will NOT make you do The Pursuit (Quest) (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Pursuit_%28Quest%29) or the ones following it over.
Once completed Enthir will return to the College of Winterhold.
Wait for him to go back to his room in the Hall of Attainment (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Hall_of_Attainment) and he will sell you Daedra Hearts once again.
Rest or wait 48 hours for him to restock.		2012-01-21 04:23:00

This is stupid. They go to a whole complicated matter of if you become the arch mage before you trade with him, he wont want to sell stuff to you because he doesnt want trouble, then when he finds out youre cool, he trades with you. Whyd they have to do that, now theres a whole bunch of stupid annoying bugs...2012-01-21 04:44:00

I found a great quest that gives a reward of a permanent 25% boost to all armour and a permanent 15 point bonus to the Smithing skill. If anyone who hasn't already done this wants to know the details, just talk to a woman named From-Deepest-Fathoms who can be found on the docks at Riften and begin the quest Unfathomable Depths. As long as you're strong enough to take on a few Dwemer sphere guardians and a Dwemer centurian, this mission shouldn't take you much longer than 30-40 minutes to complete.

Although the description of the active effect reads "Ancient Knowledge (Permanent Bonus - 25% bonus to armor when wearing Dwarven Armor, Smithing skill increases 15% faster)", this is not in fact true. The perk is bugged (in a good way) and actually provides the bonuses which I mentioned above.		2012-01-24 13:08:00

Interesting, I did the quest quite a while back but never knew about the bug. I was pretty disappointed with the reward originally since I knew it would be of no use to me, but this changes everything, not that it really matters I guess since I didn't notice the effects anyway. Oh well, it was still fun to see the dwemer creations for the first time.		2012-01-24 13:20:00

I found out that you can mine ore just by wielding the pickaxe and swinging at it with the attack button like a maniac! (Doesn't seem to give as much ore though, not sure.)

And I just found this out, if you guys already knew...why didn't you tell me!? 		2012-02-14 01:53:00

Just like all Bethesda games, there comes a stage when Skyrim started to be downright boring. The biggest flaw in the world of TES is that the desire to complete quests and the desire to explore are handled as two different things. Exploration should happen naturally as we do quests, and quests should pop up as we explore. At first the quests we're doing should be limited to a starting area so the freedom doesn't become too overwhelming right off the bat. The world map should be introduced gradually as the quests become more and more expansive, but nothing should prevent us from exploring the whole map if we wanted to. That's how a good open-world game does things to keep the game world interesting.
But Skyrim and other Bethesda RPG's don't do it like that. They dump you aimlessly into the wild. They give out quests that require you to cross the whole map right in the first hours. And in 20 hours or so, you're already sick of seeing the same places and every mission has become a fetch quest. There's fast travel, but it takes the fun out of travelling. And you can go on foot or on horseback, but there's no fun in that either if you already know the roads like the palm of your hand.

I'm giving Kingdoms of Amalur a try. Maybe I'll get back to Skyrim once I've forgotten how everything looks like, I guess.		2012-02-17 15:03:00

I loved being able to explore the entire map from the very beginning. After seeing all the demonstration videos of Riverwood the first thing I did when I got out of the first cave was run straight down the forest to my left roasting animals with fire magic. I loved that I could do anything I wanted. I've played for about 250 hours and I just wish they'd make it a bit more clear how a dungeon is cleared. From what my map markers tell me the enemies respawn but the dungeon still is marked as cleared. I guess that's cool but you should be able to know exactly which places can be cleared and not. And now I've almost found all the places so I don't know where to go to find new stuff. I wish I could cheat and spawn all the dark unvisited markers on the map. Googled it today but I think you can only show white markers...once the great quest mods come out I will be questing again.		2012-02-17 15:14:00

I don't think there's anything wrong with total freedom, it's just that they should have a way of continuously engrossing the player and introducing the world around us gradually. Yes, you should be able to run off and do whatever the hell you want wherever you want, but the game shouldn't make you bite off more than you can chew.

Let's see RDR for example. In the first two-three hours every mission is around McFarlane's Farm and Armadillo, the starting areas. You can explore all of the first region (the biggesst one in the game) right off the bat if you want. But if that's too much to take in at once, you can stick to the main quests and side-missions who will make you explore the map progressively. In Skyrim, you get quests that'll take you to Whiterun, Winterhold, Solitude and Windhelm just in the first two hours, just by casually talking to NPC's. Quests that will make you explore the majority of the whole map if you decide to go complete them right away. If you run into areas and enemies way too strong to take on at first? Too bad.

This approach to exploration has no compromise. It's chaotic. It's just dumping you into a map without a sense of progression. The freedom becomes meaningless.		2012-02-17 17:48:00

Making the map more ambiguous so you have to follow landmarks or use a compass would be nice as well.

It often feels like I'm blindly following waypoints during a quest instead of setting out on an adventure.		2012-02-17 18:27:00

That's kinda the stage that I'm at, at the moment. I think I'm level 10, have recently started at the magic school thing in Winterhold. I got a horse and cart there. After finishing the first quest (and slaying a random dragon!) I decided to exit the town and got absolutely SLAUGHTERED by a big snow cat thing! (BTW, it was in this town where I finally heard the legendary "arrow to the knee" comment.

Bleak Falls Barrow wasn't too bad until the boss at the end. I explored it in the quest where you find that claw thing for that bloke in that first town (I'm crap with the names in this game ).		2012-03-15 14:17:00

I'm still playing the heck out of this game. I've started a second character and am playing through doing the alternate versions of some of the quests. Second time around it's still awesome but I am discovering that I level up much more quickly now that I know how to maniuplate skills better.

I'm also playing a male character this time and it's fun to hear the different reactions from NPC's to him versus my original female character.

Anyone else taking a second playthrough on this HUGE game?		2012-03-15 14:49:00

No doubt I will do. I played the heck out of Fallout, and allthough I prefer guns to magic and all that stuff (Skyrim is the first fantasy rpg I've ever played..... Fallout was the 1st rpg I ever played!), I can see it being no different for Skyrim.

As an experienced player, what would you say are the best character classes? I to be quite balanced with my approach. I've chosen Redguard this time round. I DON'T want to be a silly lizard or a cat.... that's one of my major gripes about these types of games. Super mutants yes.... kinda makes sense, but talking cats is a no no. 		2012-03-15 15:04:00

Yeah. My first playthrough was as a thief and now I'm going through it as a mage.

The magelight spell entertains me a lot. I wish it would infinitely bounce off objects and walls until it disappeared, though. Then you could play magelight pong or bounce it around corners and things.		2012-03-15 17:08:00

I always play through the first time as a Wood Elf for the Archery bonus and the poison/disease resistance. I play as a Ranger/Theif class character usually and those bonuses work well for it.

I'd say decide what sort of job you want your character to do then pick the race. They all have innate abilities that compliment certain jobs.		2012-03-15 18:22:00

Question - I'm on the dark brotherhood questline and I am to return to the sanctuary after shall we say "having a bit of a conflict with the jester"....now as I try to enter the sanctuary the game crashes to desktop. I've googled around and some people have been able to use a console command "coc RiftenOrigin" to warp to riften first, then "coc DarkBrotherhoodSanctuary" to warp straight to it. That wouldn't work either. Some people have played and done other things and come back to it and it's worked. For me it won't. I simply can't enter the sanctuary now. Steam version crashing to the desktop. Not too bummed out..I can always do it on the xbox version and bring a character over or something later. Anyone experienced this?2012-03-15 21:40:00

MMO? Set a millennium before current events of Skyrim?

O_O

This likely means we will see all the battles, races, and events that are so vaguely written down in the lore...

We may see "extinct" races such as the Aylieds, Dwemer, Kothringi, Lilmothiit, and so on.


If it's true, I hope it stays to the heart of what the Elder Scrolls are like, and not adapt those cheesy MMO things that are usually sought. I don't want to see bad graphics, poorly detailed environments, pure third person view, ugly HUD's, all those things I usually see in MMOs...


I'm still playing the heck out of this game. I've started a second character and am playing through doing the alternate versions of some of the quests. Second time around it's still awesome but I am discovering that I level up much more quickly now that I know how to maniuplate skills better.

Anyone else taking a second playthrough on this HUGE game?Bah, I can't stick to one character, I think I've started my seventh or eighth one. Only one is a full story play through though, but I have spent an unhealthy amount of time with some characters.


I'd say decide what sort of job you want your character to do then pick the race. They all have innate abilities that compliment certain jobs. I just choose characters for the look and completely ignore what they can do, because I only use those abilities 1% of the time. :hero: Recently I started a high-elf and made him look quite menacing, it's fun with what you can do. 		2012-03-16 02:50:00

Job = character class

Like mage, warrior, theif, healer, that sort of thing. So a race with a magic bonus (Altmer) would have an advantage as mages. Bosmer or Kajiit make good theives/assasins because of their racial bonuses. You don't have to limit yourself and could make any race do any job but the bonuses give some races an advantage at specific skills.

I play a Nord...

A: Because Skyrim is Nord country and thus has a higher Nord poulation than any other race, which means you generally get a warmer response wherever you go.

B: Because frost based attacks are the most common type used by enemies and Nords have a 50% resistance to cold.

C: Because I always play female characters (when there's a choice) and Nord women are the only racial type who don't have a face like the rear end of a horse		2012-03-17 23:42:00

I originally started the game as a Nord, but I honestly had no idea how the leveling up or anything worked at first (this is my first Elder Scrolls game aside from 10 minutes of Oblivion on my friend's laptop).

I then made a new Wood Elf character after Klaww the Nord reached level 10 and I learned what I was doing.

Carl the Wood Elf. Doesn't that name just strike fear into your heart... or something? He's also ginger, with red eyes and a braided beard. And is currently level 43 I think.

My archery is level 100, and I usually carry 2 bows with me at all times. One with an enchantment for frost damage, and one to capture souls. (LOLOL THE GINGER NEEDS TO HUNT FOR SOULS)

I've been training my enchanting just so I can enchant and use a Knife and Fork as decent weapons. Just because I can, I guess.

I beat the Thieves Guild quest line, and all of Delvin's special jobs... The main quest line kinda bores me, but I might try doing the last couple of quests later... I'm at the part where...
I have to release Odahviing.

Is the rest of the main quest line after that hard? Like... Should I level up some more (Level 43 in case you forgot. 100 Archery and 70-90 something light armour)? Or pack tons of healing potions?		2012-03-21 23:11:00

So, I was fighting a bear, but the fight was getting tough so I moved back a bit to sit on a rock; the bear then got distracted by other enemy.

It appeared to be some fast moving worm skittering across the land, the bear was chasing it. I then noticed it was a slaughterfish. :eek:

Possible Skyrim DLC? (http://kotaku.com/5905761/skyrim-patch-files-hint-at-incoming-snow-elf-prince-and-crossbows)


Hints of what's coming next for Skyrim may be buried in the latest patch for Bethesda's hit action/RPG.

In the lore of The Elder Scrolls V, the Snow Elves have been driven underground by the Nords. But the in-game legends about the mystical race make it sound like they're former badasses who've been laid low and are ripe for revenge.

Enthusiast site RipTen brings word of a BethSoft forum user's discovery of files related to the animation of a Snow Elf character and a crossbow weapon:

AnimationsDLC01Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueA.HKX
AnimationsDLC01Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueB.HKX
AnimationsDLC01Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueC.HKX
AnimationsDLC01Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueD.HKX
AnimationsDLC01Chair_SnowElfPrinceDialogueE.HKX
AnimationsDLC01Chair_SnowElfPrinceFireBall.HKX
AnimationsDLC01Chair_SnowElfPrinceSitIdle.HKX
AnimationsDLC01SnowElfPrinceAscensionBurning.HKX
crossbow_direction_behavior.hkx
AnimationsCrossBow_1stP_Run.hkx
AnimationsCrossBow_1stP_Walk.hkx
AnimationsCrossBow_Aim.hkx
AnimationsCrossBow_Equip.hkx
AnimationsCrossBow_IdleDrawn.hkx
AnimationsCrossBow_IdleHeld.hkx
AnimationsCrossBow_Release.hkx

Bethesda's already on record as saying that DLC for Skyrim will be rolling out in the style of expansion packs and these files certainly make it seem like that plan will be going into effect.		2012-04-27 18:51:00

I have several things to say...

First off, I've been reading an unnecessary and unhealthy amount of lore, learning as much useless crud as possible. Some of it is fascinatingish, and some of it is an enigma and makes the games so much more confusing.

The most confusing example, Michael Kirkbride. The guy was a lore master/designer for Bethesda until Morrowind, now he only does minor work for them. Now, he makes random posts on the Imperial Library (http://www.imperial-library.info) (yes, the imperials have their own website, those elves need to catch up...) The posts supposedly heavily elaborate on storyline. The problem? They're somewhat undecipherable, it's like Sheogorath on skooma (http://www.imperial-library.info/content/michael-kirkbrides-texts). They tell parts of the lore you would never find in in-game books, but they mention characters, places, times, etc. that I've never heard of before. Let me give you excerpt from one thing he wrote...


Here is the pantheon of the Magne-Ge, as documented by the ancient Master Redshift, the first of its denizens who persisted enough with fitness to map the in-between heavens. This pantheon is made up of the Filters, Chromes, Penumbras, and Capricious Glows that influence the day-by-may fortunes of the myriad creatures that play among the Magne-Ge?s many-and-shattered floating untimes. All of them are days that may.
Every spectrum in the Magne-Ge, large or small, abides by Redshift?s teachings and his Catalog of Radiance. Moreso, the packets of the Magne-Ge regard these beings, in optic, as a framework by which to measure their own perhaps-it-mays in the Grand Schism of Things. Who can blame them, really, after the Breaking changed everything except for the suns?



Some other things speak in detail about the 1st era, which according to storyline, just about everything from 2nd era and back is lost to time. I refuse to actually read all this guys work, because I don't want to go crazy.

For example, one of the most craziest things, is "Loveletter From the Fifth Era, The True Purpose of Tamriel (http://www.imperial-library.info/content/loveletter-fifth-era-true-purpose-tamriel)", a "document" that seemingly describes Tamriel in the 5th era, an era that hasn't happened in-game, in the future...with cybernetic/computer/machine stuff.

In conclusion: Don't read Elder Scrolls lore, it makes no sense.

SECOND, I made some videos about Skyrim glitches I found, enjoy.

Hey I bought Skyrim for 360 ages ago but never really got into it. For various reasons I don't wanna play it on 360, someone hacked my account and stole my MS points (at least I think that's what happened), MS were extremely unhelpful so I'm kind of boycotting MS at the moment. Also I prefer playing on the PS3 and trophies. And my friend said he'd buy Skyrim off me.

So how does the PS3 version compare? I looked at the lensoftruth comparison and it seems quite blurry. Do ya forget about the blurriness after a while? Also hows the performance now after a few patches?		2012-06-04 00:01:00

don't take any notice of those screenshots. one piece of advice i'll give you is turn off 'full RBG'. for over a year i had it turned on because that's what was advised and then someone told me that it's really only for movies. after i turned it off the detail in Skyrim went up and on LBP2 too. it is a bit of a shock because you're used to seeing a higher contrast but once you've played like it for a day, you never want to go back. my sons playing it as i type and it looks FANTASTIC on the PS3		2012-06-13 01:38:00

Oh boy, we have a Skyrim thread.

This is one of the many games I've started, but have put to the side due to school. gotta finish psychonauts firssssst

I've gotta study for finals, so I'll just copypaste a post I made on SSMB


I've finally started playing. My name is Do'Fusra and I am a Khajiiti mage-in-training.

also I'm the dragonborn.


Mr. Awesomest is going to teach me how to make my punches stronger than warhammers. After that I will be able to Dragon-shout Dragons out of the sky, and the kill them.

I just got my Game Informer a few days ago. Shed some interesting light on the new DLC.

Now this is just from memory.
-New war between undead faction and Dawngaurd
-Vampire lord trying to block out the sun.
-Dawngaurd trying to stop him (duh)
-New areas, including one in Oblivion
-New "homes/bases" including a wicked vampire castle
-New vampire lord transformation with some very interesting moves.
-New werewolf, new moves.
-Mounted combat, although I heard this was already in a patch.
-Crossbows.
-New melee weapons.
- Legendary dragons
-Gargoyles
-Probably some more obligatory enemies.
-MOAR SHOUTS!
-Some sketchy npc that lives in the Riften sewers, that you will pay to be able to change your various bodily features. Not including gender and race. He's a make-up artist, not a surgeon.		2012-06-16 08:55:00

After playing "Skyrim" for 80 hours, I finally get to do what I couldn't do before a couple of days ago, pickpocketing. I tried it many times, but I ended up getting caught and pay a bounty or being attacked. I guess I must have a really bad luck, but the luck went up after equipping myself with the pickpocketing-boosting armors. Phew, now I'll be able to level up better.2012-06-16 19:27:00

I started an argonian to play Dawnguard but I realized it wasn't worth it. I'd rather keep playing my 270 hour dark elf modded on pc with unlimited carry weight and all the perks. You can start a new character but what you're doing is essetially the same thing over again. Anyways I'm about to hit 300 hours and I'm experiencing soooo many bugs and glitches right now. When I press the trigger button to morph into a vampire all my menus freeze. I can move around and the game runs but the menus are frozen so I can't select anything and after about 4 minutes I finally morph into the vampire-form. Once a vampire I have major menu glitches....it's a mess but I'm just laughing at it at this point. Worst case scenario - download the pc DLC and fix it later. Without spoiling anything....the forge...tower...maaaajor bugs. You'll get there.2012-07-02 10:08:00

Skyrim wiki is your friend. Use it, it's helped me a lot. A quick search tells me you have to start this quest:

Other than that, my advise would be to stop getting stuck in holes! It's not hard. 		2012-07-04 15:59:00

But you need to go in the hole, to reach the ruins, which you have to explore for the quest...		2012-07-04 16:18:00

Maybe the cave entrance glitched and didn't load the area you need to travel to? Is it like a door that gives you a loading screen before you enter?

On a separate note:

I just started up a brand new Khajit Sneak-Archer yesterday. He's level 10 just from wilderness and Dungeons I've found. I have a feeling that I'll be able to take out that Frost troll on the greybeard's mountain by now 		2012-07-04 16:54:00

Eh, I've never actually killed it on any of my saves. I just do the backwards butt shimmy up the Whiterun side of the mountain. Saves a lot of travel time too!		2012-07-04 17:33:00

the three times I've played through that bit I've been able to kill the frost troll by using the fire bow you get from Valheim Towers on that river. they stop regenerating and if you can get up the little hill at the side or be a good enough aim they're pretty easy to kill.2012-07-06 22:31:00

I oughta start playing this again... It's just that my good level 40-something character with level 100 archery and stuff is on my brother's PS3...

Last I remember on that file was going soul-hunting with my super awesome soul trapping bow, looking for Daedric quests since I finished the main story and Thieves Guild.

I do have a file on my PS3 now, where I'm a Redguard who runs around in my undies, killing da bad guys with a fork and knife combo. I just never really got in to that file.

I feel special for being able to kill that frost troll now though! Well... I used a bow, so he never really got near me but still.		2012-07-07 19:09:00

I am level 45 and I have stopped playing because I have kinda ran out of things to do. I am sure there are things to see and complete but at the moment if I am playing it then I just wander around aimlessly. Such a great game though and Dawnguard looks pretty good as well. However, I did contemplate buying it for the PC as well because some of the MODS such as Slow Mo et. look fun to just mess about with 2012-07-08 13:55:00

I think the weapon you get from becoming Jarl of Whiterun has soul trap doesn't it?

Still no patch 1.6 or release date for Dawnguard. I'd like to believe that Bethesda will release it ASAP on the 26th, but that probably won't happen. I really feel like we're getting the short end of the stick here.2012-07-11 21:03:00

Anyone here still playing? Haven't played for months but getting back into this game again. The mounted combat is fun especially with a bow. I still haven't finished the main quest in any of my saves yet because I keep getting distracted...

310 hours and still going. Finished most of the quests but I must've totally missed out on six walls because I'm missing six shouts. I've not played in months but when I do play it I use my one and only character. I've added tons of mods and the ENB mod..maaaan the ENB mod.2012-10-08 17:50:00

I have been playing it for 115 hours. I haven't finish the main quest yet, but I stumbled into battling Aldiun at the Throat of the World, yesterday. That epic fight has a really strange glitch, though. Anyone who made it this far know what I talked about, right? Well, good thing it was solved all thanks to tips of fixing the glitch at YouTube and Google.2012-10-09 03:27:00

I've started playing it again after a couple of months, total playing time around 154 hours (in fact, yesterday I managed to save the game at exactly 150 hours, 0 mins, 0 secs ). Just polishing off the trophies now. Doing the thiefs guild quests, and picking 50 pockets (my pickpocketing is only at lvl 25). Then I've just gotta get me 15 daedric artefacts, escape from jail, and get 1000 bounty in every hold.

The other day I fast travelled to Solitude, was immediately attacked by an ancient dragon, killed it THEN got attacked by another ancient dragon straight after!		2012-10-09 09:58:00

Skyrim's next DLC may include all of Morrowind. (https://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1417092-hints-found-about-the-next-dlc-found-in-18-beta/)

That's what people said about the first DLC. Maybe this time it will actually be true. I recently started playing again as I had my PS3 saves converted to PC so I can play on my old file. PS3 version is a disgrace.2012-10-17 11:49:00

It's funny. I play it on PS3, my game save is up to 12mb and I've had very few problems. It's frozen the odd time, but other than that, I've been quite lucky. The lack of DLC is annoying, but I don't care too much.... I've still got to complete the darn Thieves Guild quests and then get a couple more trophies (1000 bounties and escape from prison), then I've got me platinum.2012-10-18 12:01:00

Hey guys. My "honeymoon phase" with this game has long passed, especially since Dark Souls became my favorite RPG. But recently I found myself missing the freedom of Skyrim. So I decided to resume playing it, at least until I finished all the major questlines.

I have a question about the level-up system I hope one of you can answer. Is there a level cap that limits the number of perks I can unlock and skills I can evolve?

I've been told different things. Some tell me that the level cap was removed in an update, so it's theoretically possible to get all the perks. Others have told me that you can't unlock more than 80 perks during the course of the game. Which one is true?

I ask this because I want to know if I should stop spreading my perk points so thinly and focus only on a few essential skill trees.		2014-01-25 14:19:00

I'm no expert as I never tried it, but I believe you can reset skills to 0 by making them legendary once hitting 100, this refunds you the perk points and essentially allows you to level up forever2014-01-25 14:47:00

Ah, Skyrim, the 1200 hours of my life I am never getting back... I have no regrets.

There was a level cap system, but with the new legendary skills implied there no longer is, since you can basically reset skills to level them again until the world's end.

In short, you can now fill all the skills.		2014-01-25 16:42:00
