kamatsudash Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hi, Just some questions which probably belong more in the spoiler forum I believe. I've read a lot of threads here and on Bethseda's Skyrim forums, but left a bit confused on some things (and haven't really played far enough to know for sure... and would like to know before-hand). 1. Absorbing Dragon souls & Shouts / shout words Can you only absorb a dragon soul if you have unpowered shouts / shout words? - So say I only have the starting 1st word/shout, and go find me a dragon and kill it without learning a new shout word (if this is even possible?).. will I absorb the dragon soul and 'save' it for the next shout/word I learn (and thus power the shout/word straight away)? Or would it be a wasted opportunity and no soul absorbed.. forcing me to learn a shout/word before I can absorb a dragon soul to power it up? I hope that wasn't too confusing.. 2. Companions & weapons (specifically bows) Now I've read that Lydia will pull out a bow with unlimited arrows if you take away her other weapons (is this true?)... Now my specific question is.. if you provide her with a better bow, will she have unlimited arrows with it as well? Or would you have to give her arrows to use? I'd also like to know, are there any other known npc companions that have this same feature - take away their melee weapon and they switch to unlimited arrow bow? 3. Higher level gear & merchants In regards to merchants, whats the highest level gear they will sell? For both Heavy and Light armor? From what I've read, you have to make the higher end gear (Glass, Deadric, Dragon).. just wondering where the scaling of what merchants sell actually stops at? 4. Companion AI. - Just a query about how "smart" companion ai is about trying to avoid hitting the player... (i know there are issue's where the companion gets in the way of the player.. This question is not about that!) Say for instance I have a companion with me using a bow and I'm a melee character and a fight starts out with them directly behind me... would the companion try to move to the side to get a 'clear' shot at the enemy? Or would they fire directly at the enemy with with me being between them and the enemy (and thus hitting and hurting me and not the enemy)? Thank you in advance for any replies/answers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would it be a wasted opportunity and no soul absorbed.. forcing me to learn a shout/word before I can absorb a dragon soul to power it up? I hope that wasn't too confusing.. dragon souls are stored until you want to use them. the number of stored souls is displayed in the bottomright corner of the shouts menu. 2. Companions & weapons (specifically bows) Now I've read that Lydia will pull out a bow with unlimited arrows if you take away her other weapons (is this true?)... Now my specific question is.. if you provide her with a better bow, will she have unlimited arrows with it as well? Or would you have to give her arrows to use?i'm fairly confident she gets infinite arrows, but i think you can still give her better arrows to use. I'd also like to know, are there any other known npc companions that have this same feature - take away their melee weapon and they switch to unlimited arrow bow?Aela the huntress 3.

From what I've read, you have to make the higher end gear (Glass, Deadric, Dragon).. just wondering where the scaling of what merchants sell actually stops at?so far i've seen merchants selling elven, dwarven and orcish gear. i've never gotten past lv30 though so it probably goes higher. still, i very much doubt you could buy dragon armor anywhere. 4.

Or would they fire directly at the enemy with with me being between them and the enemy (and thus hitting and hurting me and not the enemy)? Thank you in advance for any replies/answers :)in my experience, they're not able to hurt you at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gishank Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Merchants sell every piece of armour/weapon type, excluding Dragon/Daedric at the 'end-game'. So it's worth investing in Blacksmithing if you want those sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8films Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Yup. I love the dragon armor sooooo much too. :pirate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
