Well, like I said, it only ever happened once to me and my character was wearing it for a good 40 hours of game time. In cities and all. So, it's a bug and not intentional. It's an awesome armor, especially with a retext mod.

It hasn't happened since I upgraded it, but it only happened once to begin with, so I don't know whether it made a difference or not.

Well now I've upgraded it and I"m going to take my chances with it and see what happens. And if everything works out my next playthrough I'll be going with all ebony armor instead of the Daedric.<G>

OK, I haven't done a mage run in Skyrim yet, and  therefore  I'm not that versed on the mechanics of one, so my apologies if this is a dumb question:

Question:  how come people  make their mages wear robes as  some  standard rule?  Wouldn't decent armor solve the squishy-mage problem  (both early on and later)?

I mean, you can actually enchant heavy/light armor  pieces  with majicka/magica regen, you know.  And you can create rings and necklaces with  +Fortify (insert your schools of choice here).  So what advantage does a robe offer over armor, besides the usual  Role playing cliche of a mage wearing a dress to a bandit party/dragon fight/draugr gathering etc?

With you on this one.

I would rather place some points into Stamina for a more balanced approach than having a heavy Magika character rely on Alteration spells that have a limited duration. And as I like swimming, climbing, and jumping, I prefer Light armor to Heavy.armors, but that is me.

However, it seems that to increase Light or Heavy armor means primarily one must get hit, which is contrary to my style of thinking and gameplay. So perhaps it is easier to increase Alteration; dunno.

P.S. Some Shouts can be effective for what they allow you to do. Throw Voice was recently used to call all the remaining troops to come down the same narrow passage for my Orc Archer to bid farewell. And Mark of Death can make killing certain groups go much faster.

Hmmm, I took break from Skyrim and was playing some Arkham City. I came back and tried to play Skyrim and the game is stuck on the menu. I click play and it acts like it's launching and then it just goes back to the menu screen.

I guess more Arkham City then.

I haven't played a mage yet, but for both a thief/archer as well as a melee warrior character on "master" setting, the game seems to become a bit too easy once you get up to level 30-40. It's not really a balance problem, as my understanding is that the game world is intentionally designed for level 1-50 player characters. So you find fewer and fewer high level dungeons and fewer and fewer enemies that present a challenge. Above level 50 the combat probably begins to seriously lack challenge, but I have yet to continue any character past level 45.

So I look forward to my mage (next character I plan to play) being a sort of glass cannon character, like my thief/archer. Very powerful on offense, but weak on defense for the most part. I don't enjoy gameplay when you have tremendously high health/armor and fighting bosses is like two people hitting each other with wet noodles.

I much prefer the danger of being easily one-shotted and having to reload many times in order to get through tough battles. This is why I started over after my thief got to level 45, as I really enjoy the early levels of the game, when everything is dangerous and you have to scrounge and save up to buy a suit of crappy hide armor, etc.

But it's ultimately just a roleplaying choice. If you are playing a pure mage who doesn't wear any armor, there are some perks in the alteration school that can drastically improve the oakflesh/stoneflesh spells, etc. If you are playing a sort of battlemage or hybrid character who uses weapons and casts spells, then go all out for heavy armor and maybe enchant it with some magicka regen or destruction bonus. I guess it comes down to your perception of your character and whether you think your character would prefer to wear armor or robes.

Weird. I can get magicka regeneration for my armor easy...I disenchanted conjuration robes that improves my magicka regeneration and conjuration cost. Applied it to my Dragon Armor.

That's odd. I remember wanting to enchant Elven armor, but the magicka regen wasn't available. I'll check again.

Maybe you didn't have learned the effect by then? =)

Fix the problem and get back in Skyrim! The country needs you! (have you got the latest patch?)

My Pure mage Breton chick is at level 9 10 now and, while most things are easy so far, even Bashnag surprisingly (my archer had a real tough time with him), the master Vampire at Bloodlet Throne is being really a pain. At last I got to get him alone with no more minions to raise. I rose them all. =)

Sven is being as helpful as a chicken can be but at least he gave me time to retreat and hide when I needed. And yes, getting there is a lot more fun than being there but it is unavoidable. After some point, my characters did became too powerful for anything to be a challenge.

I don't know how will it be with the mage though. There is no way I'll put armor on her, except for boots and gauntlets and the build I'd like to make for her shows level 69 on the Perk calculation website so it will be a looong ride... haha

PS: Impossible Master Vampire for a Pure Mage at level 10. He'll just steal life from stupid Sven. Had to abort and run! hehe

This happens to me every single time the game patches (I click Play in the launcher, and it just reloads the launcher). This has always fixed the problem for me so far:

Now why don't this surprise me that it was a steam mistake and not something for which Bethesda did this time.<LOL>

I just started a pure mage this weekend and magicka is literally her life.  She's a high elf so already has an edge on other characters in terms of magicka, and she still struggles to maintain it over a fight.  I now have a couple staves so it's not as literally life and death, but any little boost to magicka or buff on spell cost is lifesaving.

I played a battle mage as my first character and she had her axe to fall back on.  But as soon as I could, I did enchant her some magicka boosting heavy armor.

Fighting mages is just a much a b-tch as a mage as it was as a warrior.  <_<

I'm curious as to why you folks that like magic don't play something like a battlemage? Then you can have the best of fighting with a weapon and using magic. Or am I looking at the battlemage in the wrong prospective on this here?
 

As I said above, I played both.  It's a roleplay thing and a matter of what class you want to play.  Pure mages can specialize in several different schools of magic and put lots of perks in those.  My battle mage spent perks on heavy armor and one handed weapons, enchanting, and smithing.  She had lower magicka than a pure mage would, but could switch off to axe when necessary.  I also spent a few points in stamina for carry weight (that armor is heavy and it takes a long time to get the perk that nullifies the armor weight) and power attacks.  That's not something a pure mage would have to worry about.

So I'm doing the Markarth Mine Escaping quest thingy and I'm torn between siding with or against Manacanth or whatever his name is.

What do you guys think I should do?

[caradoc2000]

Kill the Forsworn, the rest of them will attack you anyway after this quest is done.

[Giggles_Manically]

My first PC was actually built like a Dragon Age Templar really.

Got the Elemental Resistance Perk, and then Spell Breaker so I could nullify the threat that any and all mages posed to me in the game.

Seeing all those spells simply mean nothing to me leaving all those puny skirt wearing dandies stabbing at me iron daggers is hilarious.

It is at times like those when I love rendering an entire swath of enemies (and attacks from dragons) simply a useless gesture.

Peyrite may be a nasty dude but I love his shield so he is okay in my books.
Must get some kicks at the parties Daedra have that HIS shield is getting used more often than any of the other tokens I have. Most of which are collecting dust in a trunk...

Even if you don't kill anyone other that Madanach, they will all show up dead somehow and that SOB Silver Blood will tell you about repopulating the mine. If you revisit the mine you will see the corpses there.

Decided to stick with my orc a bit longer and try the main story quests at least. Well, starting with wrapping some loose ends, like Companions quests and some Daedric ones.
Levelled to 47 yesterday (actually nearly 48 after I found the Ogma Infinium) and things actually started to look more fun again. Been facing many more Draugr Deathlords (before I've just seen a few) and hard a pretty hard time fighting an Ancient Dragon (I've even used Berserker for that). Btw I think that's Stability from Heavy Armor what is saving me from Deathlord shouts.... only managed to knock me down once, on other occassions the screen was shaking, but I kept on swingin'.
Also one named Ice Mage raped my hps pretty bad.. and made me look silly as I crawled towards him... but I did take my revenge Maybe I need to get more elemental resistance then 60%
Ach well, the game is more fun again.... Guess this means I will delay my Mage/Assasin for a while.
