You can cast soul trap on dead bodies??

[Giggles_Manically]

Yes.

To no effect besides raising your conjuration skill quickly.
Pretty easy too since they dont move, or you can do it on a live bandit and annoy them a lot.

I only break my not soul trapping a person rule when it comes to:
Falmer, Bandits, and Necromancers.

Those bastards deserve their fate, especially Falmer.
Though oddly Falmer dont have Black souls but Common ones mostly.

Quick Inquiry: What is your Fave Race? cCass? Perk Tree?

Mine would be Breton for the MR, Rogue for the included perks, and Stealth/ Sneak; amazing how it works in this game compared to others in which I avoiid it.

I do a Bosmer assassin first -marksman/ sneak/ alchemy/ 1 handed. 
Then Dunmer nightblade  - vampire/ destruction/ illusion/ enchanting/ sneak/ 1 handed.  Couldn't do vampirism in other TES games

When bored, I play a Breton battlemage - conjuration/ heavy armor/ enchanting/ destruction/ 1 handed or
Nord Warrior - 2handed/ heavy armor/ smithing/ marksman.

I made the Breton mainly to side with the Empire and to convert Ebony Armor to Daedric.  The Nord sided with the Stormcloaks, made Dragonplate armor and uses shouts

You forgot Thalmor!  I reloaded just to make sure I got Rulindil's soul.  His fate as a charge for my next pair of boots is too good for him.

Have not run into any Thalmor since I started using Conjuration sadly....though there is the Thalmor embassy to go rob.

Really though I just go raid a giant camp and kill the mammoths since they gave Grand souls.
Ah in Morrowind I had Almalexia's soul in Azura's star and kept it on a shelf.

Looks like I wont be such a good little martyr know eh ****?

I like the concept of illusion spells but you have to invest a zillion perks to avoid the dreaded "X is too powerful for..." and it doesnt help vs dragons and deathlords.

Yeah, well, it isn't so bad. You need to invest in any skill you want to pursue, really. Well except smithing and armor trees, where you can hit the armor cap with just a few perks invested overall.

On the upside, in my 20 levels so far, I've never met an eligible target who would resist my basic Apprentice-level Calm. Don't even have the dual-casting perk, as it was never needed. And that's just 3 special feats invested - Hypnotic Gaze, Animage and Kindred Mage. You will need to get 2 of them anyway if you go for Silent Casting. Actually single-cast Novice Fury even worked without Rage specialization perk on the Caller boss, who otherwise owned me pretty bad at level 20. Seeing as there will be Pacify at Expert skill and that I can more then double the effective level with dual casting, I can rest at ease that Illusion spells should carry me through my entire career (well except for dragons and maybe some Draugr). 
Then there are pots for the toughest targets.

My level 58, with a self brewed Potion of Illusion 98% or an Elixir of Illusion 100% stronger illusion spells can send Death Lords and Death Overlords, Briarhearts, etc.,  into a mad frenzy. Don't forget to drink your potions when you want to cast illusion against the most powerful foes. I think Dragons are immune to Illusion though.

Anyone attacking me deserves a soul trap lol.

[Giggles_Manically]

I dont have enough Black Soul gems for that sadly.

Somehow I find playing a mage nearly cathartic in Skyrim.
Sure I can sneak up on that dude and knife him...or I can:
A) Disintegrate him with lightning
Freeze him with ice
C) Blow him up with a fireball
D) Conjure a Dremora to deal with him
E) Summon an atronach to tear him apart

Also I just found out I can give Urag an Elder Scroll.
Never thought I would see an Orc squee.

I don't kill mammoths or giants.  I can't.  They're so cute!  The only black souls I trap are necromancers and Thalmor, for karmic justice.

It's interesting how morality works in Tamriel.  Nelacar says "the daedra are evil, they only want to use us!  here, let me help you turn the star black so you can use people's souls!"

I soultrapped pretty much everything in my last playthrough. It's not my fault I enchanted a bow with soultrap and got the Black Star.

Even Azura's priestess somehow ended up in there. Delicious irony.

My only regret is being unable to soultrap Ulfric. Somehow the game insists on having him in Sovngarde, when he's pretty much the last Nord in Skyrim who would deserve that. Hopefully Alduin ate him.

So it's perfectly okay to take animal souls but not man/mer souls?

Poor animals

Extremely bored from Skyrim (PC) .

Need a new game

[KenKenpachi]

Hmm funny enough I have yet to use soultrap or have even enchanted anything really.

[TEWR]

My Nordic Spellsword in Ebony armor, sans the helmet equipped. It's in my inventory though. And as luck would have it, I recently acquired both an Ebony Battleaxe and an Ebony Bow.

Currently he's had one helluva night of debauchery. He was told that he sold a man's prize winning goat to a giant.

Well, since that Giant was nice enough to not attack me on sight I figured I should at least pay the farmer 1000 gold to make up for it. I did make an honest -- and drunken -- deal with the Giant, and I don't want to kill him to make things right.

I still find it odd that I was able to even converse with a Giant when they dislike people encroaching on their area.

I trap Thalmor and Falmer souls all the time.

Both never really used their souls when they were alive, so I might as well use them.

I always play a Breton caster of some sort for my first run-through in a TES game. It's tradition. This time it was as a Destruction/Alteration/Restoration pure mage, and man he is fun. I love using the time-stop shout in Conjunction with him. I kept away from Conjuration as I found it made it way too easy for me combined with Impact, and I love me some Impact!

For Skyrim, I think Nord is my favorite race. I'm sure it seems to be the easy pick, but I love the feel of the people, culture, rebellion, and Sovngarde. Plus, you can't take Talos away from me. I used to really love the mystic, secretive feel of the Altmer but this game has went after them in full gloved heavy-handed mode to paint them as ruthless pricks. I'm hoping the next game - or DLC - shows some sane Altmer who are fighting their own zealots at home.

The most fun class-wise I've had so far is Shadowblade. Snipe you from afar with a bow, cut you up close without you seeing me, or using Illusion to get in position or wreak havoc before the bowstring twang's. As a runner up, using a shield is amazing fun in this game. I love the perk that slows down time so you can side-step a power attack and then just go buck on the poor sucker.

I can't say I have a favorite tree. They all have been incredibly useful except for Speech (for me, personally. YMMV.)

[Giggles_Manically]

You know some bandits REALLY take the Darwin Award.

Those guys who kill some legion members and impersonate (badly) them were attacked.
I killed the dragon and only ONE OF THEM was left alive.

Okay you attack the guy WHO JUST DISINTEGRATED A FREAKING DRAGON WITH LIGHTNING!
That is like trying to punch out Chuck Norris or something.

Speech and Lockpicking are probably  the only two trees in this game that lean towards the "pointless".  But of those two Lockpicking is probably worse.  At least with Speech you can get perks that allow you to sell anything to any merchant.  Compound that with the perk that lets you  invest in merchants and increase their money  + the perk that gives all merchants an extra 1000 gold, and  you 've much solved the hoop jumping tedium of selling your loot. Of course, by the time you've gotten all those perks, money is no longer a problem.....

But lockpicking?    Investing in the lockpicking tree is never a great idea.  What's the point?  without even going out of your way, you will eventually get really good at picking any lock  due to sheer practice  (most  chests are locked.)  so there's no point in wasting valuable perk points to  make the process "easier".  And  just about  every merchant sells lockpicks cheap and  by the dozen, so even if you can't get the hang of it quickly, you're free to keep trying til you do.  

Hell, forget about practice. There's a  Stone you can activate that  renders 3/4 of the entire lockpicking tree   literally useless.

Yes I think they will.  The in-game book The Rising Threat is an anti-Thalmor text written by an Altmer.  Their society has always been really divided, and the Psijcs getting a powerful artifact can't be an accident.

I'm actually going to make my warrior a s & s I think.  I like bashing with big hammers, but the shield perks are both more useful and look more fun.

Perhaps, but that same bunch continued to two shot my 15th lvl dark Elf; had to resort to attacking before conversation and hide. Lost my first horse, and it just happened down the road from Whiterun stables where she was purchased. This took a little over 2 hrs in reloads to find the right combo, and gather a little luck.

Next horse, and second trip out, I killed a Dragon in one save.

The wandering encounters continue to be the hardest part of the game; challenging, fun, and sometimes frustrating.

Wait until you can bowl into people and send them flying.
