I've got 99 lockpicks but a problem ain't one.
Just started playing this game, really enjoying it. One huge downside I've noticed is in Oblivion when you cast a buff on yourself there would be a timer in the upper corner. Also there was an icon present for summoned creatures.
In Skyrim I dont see this, so theres no clear indication when spell effects and summons will wear off. Is there a mod to address this? This is kind of a big deal to me.

Another glaring omission in an interface more or less designed around glaring omissions. I read a blog post by some XBox player the other day saying how much he liked it, and how carefully Bethesda had thought it all through, and I wanted to claw my way through my monitor to get my hands on his throat.
I've read statements in the forum so often saying essentially that Elder Scrolls games weren't worth playing until they had been modded into something acceptable, and it's funny how true that turned out to be with Skyrim. The construction set is due sometime in January, and hopefully the modding community will get to work on some of this stuff. It's one of the reasons I'm not getting too attached to this character.
As for conjuration what do you think of Arniel Gane's Shade? That thing has some SERIOUS resistance, it just sits in front of anything and takes hits like a MOFO without dying. Then I hide in a corner and lob incineratesBest thing is the zero casting cost

None of that any more. Now I gotta jump off cliffs, hope I dont die, and heal myself. Run back up (which usually takes a while) and do it all over again. I have an Expert heal spell but I dont get skill points from it unless I'm really hurting, which means long falls, which means lots of quick saving and loading if I dont measure them correctly.
also, how exactly do you fill up soul gems? i saw one sword that will find them up if i kill people, but otherwise i dont know. i'm gonna go google it for myself![]()
about soul trapping...i found a spider cave while being around level 40 and with about 20 petty and lesser soul gems in my inventory, so i set left hand to Soul Trap, right hand to Chain Lightning, and yada yada yada...20 soul gems filled for enchanting! mwahahaha.
good times...
Belethor's store in whiterun got a shipment of iron daggers with fire damage that night![]()
on my only character, I'm primarily shield + one-handed with occasional dual wield. You can fairly easily go one hand/shield or dual wield on one character with no real waste in perks.
You can, at least block with 2-handed, though not as well, but if you focus on that it can free up some shield-specific perks for other uses, like heavy armor perks.
I can say that shield is ridiculously powerful once you get the reduction magic damage perks and bash strength.
Either way, be sure to pump most of your levels into stamina.
I was thinking of making a 1h+shield warrior (my only character is low level thief/assassin) to try out and heard that a 70/30 split (health/Stamina) is good enough. Do I really need to put a much higher ratio of stamina into a build like that?
Also is a Nord a good enough race to go 1h+shield or would I better off going with an Orc? I hear Orcs make the best warriors but I don't like the looks of them much.
anyone know who the best mage companion/follower is?
