Skyrim: Heroes Of The North

[Macman253]

lol yeah you kinda are. No bow or crossbow or any spells. Any decent adventurer has a few spells, healing and flames etc.

I like crossbows but I felt that it would have been too overpowered. Can see what I come up with.

 

Hate spells. :S

 

But potions... :thumbsup:

Crossbows are not really OP, they reload slower then a bow but they hit harder then a bow. A bow on the other hand will load faster and has greater range. That is the tradeoff.

[Niborino9409]

How much "power" a char. has. Is it like in the game? A steel sword is better than a iron sword and so forth?

 

I tend to think realistically, I like to think that Eykthain relies on his skills rather than "fancy" gear. But if its needed I can add some.

 

Edit: Now I have added some stuff to weapons, equipment and details.

Background: Geralt was the product of a vampire raping his mother, he was born with white hair, glowing eyes and fangs. His mother raised him, feeding him with her blood in a bottle. When he was ten his vampiric powers appeared in full when a group of bandits attacked their home in the wilds, he slew the four bandits but not before being able to save his mothers life. He fled into the wilds of skyrim, soon after he was discovered by a roving group of Vigilants, one of them was Geralt Vex, he saw the boy was no normal vampire. He could walk in the daylight, staying his blade and those of his companions he brought the young boy into his care. Geralt trained the young Dhamphir in combat and how to hunt the forces of evil. He took to it well, his natural vampiric powers giving him the edge and forming him into a great hunter. By fifteen years he was given special dispensation by the Vigilants that if he never fed on an unwilling human he was to be granted amnesty as long as he spent his life hunting the forces of evil in Tamriel. He has dedicated himself to avenging the deaths of the Vigilants and he adopted the name of his mentor, his former name lost to all but him and the spirits of the Vigilants.

The type of weapon more or less, a silver weapon is less effective against a human but near fatal to a vampire or werewolf. And the only thing that can kill a Ghost. But a steel sword is less likely to shatter then a glass sword but a glass sword cuts better. Get my meaning...

 

What I prefer to do is write a character, then add the tools to make that characters profession. For example, a Nord mercenary would have Banded Iron Armor and a Steel Greatsword with a normal Steel Sword and Steel Shield as backup. He might also have a crossbow or throwing axes.

Think I get what you´re saying. But how can that Nord mercenary carry all that stuff?

Nords in the lore, are about as strong as a professional football player. Orcs are more like body-builders. Khajiit prefer dexterity so they often have a pair of daggers and use trickery and acrobatics. High Elves prefer spells but they either have the Bound Sword spell for melee or a sabre of some kind. The rest are pretty much their namesake. Bretons like spells, dark elves use pretty much anything, wood elves like bows, nords and orcs like two handed weapons, imperials prefer sword and shield etc,

[Niborino9409]

Do I need to add more stuff or is the things I´ve added enough?

 

In my first playthroughs Eykthain was a werewolf, but I dislike being one now, so he isn´t one.
