SergeantGrrock Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Most of you will probably laugh. One character, level 56. been playing since Christmas, almost 300 hours. I'm pacing myself. :whistling: I don't play every day but I plan on taking this guy to level 81. Might even get there by -next- Christmas. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragicka Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Currently at level 63, the highest I've ever gotten before crashing and burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Garon Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I don't time myself but I have 100's of hours with a small army of retired (failed) characters. My highest level guy was a stealth archer, around level 65. I try to role play and most of my minions wound up as Jacks-of-all-trades and master's of none. Literally. Then I got too much good advice and wound up with some OP characters which were more boring than the failed guys were frustrating. I guess my menagerie averages out to around level 30-35. My current character is a pure mage at level 38 with around a 100 hours of play. I've purposely avoided most questlines so that I could get a character build suited to my play style before I go for it. Looks like I'll keep this mage and start the "real" quests this weekend. She's pretty "balanced"; an offensive terror compared to any other character I've made, but very weak on defense and I really have to be careful with her. I have self-imposed RPG rules and if she dies now, she's history. Hopefully, I will post here again when she hits level 81. If not, I'll post her eulogy. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i will never do this, because i only play on Master Difficulty, and it means that my character die all the time. Try to fight a giant and a Dragon in the same time.

Well, i will never do this, because i only play on Master Difficulty, and it means that my character die all the time. Try to fight a giant and a Dragon in the same time. I actually gave myself 3 lives because I had never played a full-on mage before and needed a little practice. She used up two of them early on but hasn't died for about 12 levels. I will start a new game if she dies now but I am an expert in starting new characters. I think I could get through Bleak Falls Barrow blindfolded and not miss a single urn. :biggrin: Once I complete the main quests, I'll crank it up to Master and try one of my OP guys. Right now its really hard to keep my mage alive on Adept; she can be 1-shotted by archers and a surprise melee fight involves a lot of potions and swearing.

dragonslayer2k12 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 So is level 81 the highest level the player can get in game? I am there and half way through 81 but only because of the last few things I could do and find to push the level meter higher without using console. I noticed that fighting even at 100 causes the meter to move very slightly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been close to that with any character so I haven't really checked it out. It does seem that USING those maxed skills would keep the XP going up. So, I don't know for sure how high you can go in vanilla Skyrim. I just have level 81 stuck in my head as a target to shoot for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maxed out my skills on both my playthroughs and, yeah, it takes you to about 81 1/2 (the max without a level uncapper). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyro Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I have yet to pass level 50 and I have played about 20 characters. Steam only says I've played 130 hours, but I don't know if that includes the time I've spent in offline mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62firelight Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My very first character from the 360 version of Skyrim and was made 1 day after it released still lives on and he is now Level 56-ish. I have done a whole lot of other characters such as a standard one-handed and shield Khajiit/Nord, (The Khajiit is one of my favourites) a dual wielding Khajiit and an assassin Argonian (He has tried to redeem himself because I let him do the main quest.) My first character, a Dark Elf, has 200 hours on it by the way. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
