Malchik Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Well using the fortified item and the master trainer isn't exactly cheating IMO but I do agree it totally unbalances what is essentially a relatively easy game. Normally I stop at around level 50 but I have set a challenge to a couple of people that involves getting to 100. (It's a speed thing). In my current game I am updating my character list for the expansions and official plug-ins and therefore it is not a proper game as such so I have levelled up very fast, though without recourse to the glitch referred to above. For my purposes it helps not to be damaged too much when wandering about the countryside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliah Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Level 41 I have about 190k, in case I want to insta-level up. Or buy a small kingdom. The only mods I added were some merchants that actually have enough gold to be worth selling to. I don't consider it a cheat to think that there should be high-quality traders, who therefore have more gold on hand. Besides, we all know that gold is only really good for bribing people once you reach a certain level in the game. (Wink . Wink. Nudge. Nudge.) I played both expansions first, starting with Bloodmoon. Level 35 I killed The Hunter. Level 39 I killed The Lady of Mercy. Is my character overpowering? Heck no! I just happen to be bloody good when it comes to tactics. Sure, go around and bash or blast whatever you want to little bits. Spend all that time and energy. Or, you can play like me, and use the proper tool for the job. Want to kill a werewolf? Use silver. Want to defeat a wizard? Use reflect/absorb/ and silence. Want to kill a god? Be prepared for anything. On another thread a guy said that his character was the most powerful because all his armor had constant restore health. Poor sap. He'd be pretty surprised if he got hit with Damage Health. Over confidence is a sign of weakness. Be paranoid. Be careful. And always, always be prepared. I don't care how high a level or how maxed your stats are. If you don't have a backup plan or the needed supplies, you can be killed. Of course, being over prepared is bad too. I can't find where I put anything! And then there's all the shiny loot I want to carry back, and my weight is at it's limit. Mmm, semi-off-topic rambling. This post has been brought to you by the makers of Smap, the other corpus meat.

TheLittleman Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I got to level 100 and everythings at 100 but it won't let me advance any farther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saldrex Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 You can still advance further. All you have to do is have your primary and secondary skills lowered and retrain them up or use the fortification and master skill trainer trick if oyu have maxed ther skills. Your atributes cannot go over 100 unless you use enchantments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webkilla Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 and who needs that? My current char is at 47, he can slay pretty much anything he needs to, and if he should encounter a situation that he cannot handle/survive then he'll do what most sane ppl do: he flees Thats right, run away. You dont need fancy tactics for that and it allows you reach a safe distance where you can reevaluate if you even wanna fight the guy (which is a bit tricky if its part of a quest) or if you just leave them be. Either way it gives one the chance to do some quick fixes to ones armor and allows for picking the best strategy for killing of anything that keeps following you... To Eliah: Good recap on the "how to kill different opponents" list, I'll keep that in mind To Saldex: How on middle earth did you get to level 500 without mods?

Breton Thief Oriana Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 As of right now, the highest level I've ever reached is 39. But, that is a personal problem...ya see, I kept playing new characters, and accidentally writing over the older character's save file. and, therefore, had to keep remaking, or only play as one character at a time.

Guest Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 THis is my first post. I am only level one and it's so hard to raise levels for me. I am lost and I spend most of my time in the TES Construction set. How do you raise levels easily and whats uncapping? :help: _______________________________________Please... :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saldrex Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 It i spossible to get to level 500 with out mods and if i really wanted too i could be level 1000+ (i have every thingi need to but i just dont fell like doing it). It is easy. Every time you increase a major or minor skill you get 1 level point and you trade 10 in for one level. ONe way to do it is to increase your skills and go to jail so that they lower and after you can train them back up for level points. Another way you can do it is to use fortification spells and a master trainer to train you up in a major or minor skill and when you buy the skill and you are at level in the skill your skill does not go up but instead you are effectively buying level points. I find it funny that i discovered this by accident but i do not cancider it to be much cheating since it can be done another way and i find it to save time and prefer it over spending long hours playing. Another thing i have to say is that i have never had any saving problems (except for one or two time i forgot to save and had to reload but that is besides the point) since i tend never to save over a old saved game (well actually i do not) and i have about 300+ save on my x-box (and that is just for one of my characters atleast well actually my best and i do have some from all my others but they only constitute to be about 100 or so). I have soo many save but i preer it this way since i am always afraid to ruin my characer since one persons death can destroy many quests. It is funny since i do not use any of the older saves but i feel confort that i can always fall back on an older save especilly when there are many ways to do one task and i always like to choose the best path. Also there is a stat and skill cap for normal growth which is 100 but you can go over with the use of spells or enchantment but that is the only way. Uncapping is when a person removes the 100 limit that is set by the normal game and in my opinion if it cannot be done in the normal game it is cheating but there are some things that seem close to cheating but i like because they save time. I love my level 500 character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Santyr Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I'm a level 30... easy enough to get to but I normally get to this level and end up getting bored and restarting... part of the game is building your character and watching him/her develope IMO, I have decided to learn the skills I want to use, my strength is 100 and I'm starting to get bored of killing (unarmoured) people or creatures in 1 or 2 blows... I haven't got as far as half of you lot but can't understand how you can get enjoyment out of a game where you are basically top of the hierarchy... actually thinking about it I suppose that does tickle some peoples pickle but not mine! I prefer minglin with the common folks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Set the difficulty slider to 100 and get the mod that makes levelling up harder and the beasts tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
