The lyrics are as follows
Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin

This, translated into English, comes out as
Dragonborn, Dragonborn
by his honor is sworn
To keep evil forever at bay!
And the fiercest foes rout
when they hear triumph's shout,
Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!

Hearken now, sons of snow, to an age, long ago
and the tale, boldly told, of the one!
Who was kin to both wyrm
and the races of man
with a power to rival the sun
cut through enemies all
as the Dragonborn issued his roar!
Alduin, Bane of Kings,
ancient shadow unbound,
with a hunger to swallow the world!

But a day, shall arise,
when the dark dragon's lies,
will be silenced forever and then!
Fair Skyrim will be free from foul Alduin's maw!

Dragonborn, Dragonborn
by his honor is sworn
To keep evil forever at bay!
And the fiercest foes rout
when they hear triumph's shout,
Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!

If you play Master difficulty and want to min max your character it seems that the best combo is using the alchemy / Smithing / Enchanting combo. With this you can buff your weapons and armor by 246%. Also from what I have read the best race choices are Breton (25% passive magic resist and Dragonskin) and Orc (Berserker Rage). Here are some notes that I found hope this helps you guys out...

Minimums required to make this work (perks) [skill]:

- Enchanting (8) [100]: 5/5 Enchanter, Insightful, Corpus, Extra Effect
- Alchemy (7) [100]: 5/5 Alchemist, Physician, Benefactor
- Smithing (5) [100]: Steel. Dwarven, Orcish, Ebony, Daedric
- Weapon Skill (5) [100]: 5/5 Armsman or 5/5 Barbarian (1h or 2h)
- Armor Skill (5) [100]: 5/5 Juggernaut or 5/5 Agile Defender (optional, but makes mid-game easier)



Using an Alchemy Enchanting loop, it is possible to make:

+29% Fortify Enchanting enchantments
+29% Fortify Smithing enchantments
+32% Fortify Alchemy potions
+130% Fortify Smithing potions



Your process should look something like this:

1) Fortify Alchemy enchantments 25% x4
2) Fortify Enchantment potions 30%
3) Fortify Alchemy enchantments 28% x4
4) Fortify Enchantment potions 32%
5) Fortify Alchemy enchantments 29% x4
6) Fortify Smithing enchantments 29% x4
7) Fortify Smithing potions 130%

This enables a total of +246% Weapon and Armor Improvement.

Combined with 100 Smithing Skill, and appropriate perks, it is possible to make:

- Any Armor Type with a final set armor rating in excess of 500. For weaker Armor, additional armor set perks may be required.
- Daedric Weaponry with attack damage in excess of 500
- 100 Heavy Armor, No Perks, Fully Upgraded Legendary Daedric is 590 with shield, 475 without.


Regarding the Armor Cap:

- Experiments show that the Armor Cap is above 500, but less than 672.
- It is impossible to get 100% Damage Reduction.
- No known enemy has Armor Ignore abilities, even though the player has access to 75% Armor Ignore.
- Lord Stone is a flat 50 Armor Rating added to your final Armor value after all other effects have been calculated.
- The UESP wiki lists the Armor Cap as 80%, at 567 Armor Rating.

This means that any Armor Rating above 567 has no effect!

Regarding Armor Perks:

- Heavy Armor Damage Reflection does not decrease damage by 10%; it just reflects incoming damage
- It is unknown if Heavy Armor Damage Reflection is before or after Damage Reduction. It appears to be after.
- Testing on the Heavy Armor 50% Anti-Stagger perk has been inconclusive. It may not actually be working right now.


Regarding short-term skill buffs:

- Weapon Skill and Armor Skill potions work as intended
- Archery Skill buff potion is bugged to give a buff to unrelated skills in addition to it's intended buff; expect a patch
- Orc Berserking stacks with all other buffs
- In extreme cases, a fully buffed player can hit for between 3k-6k damage without using a Sneak Attack. Ancient Dragons have 3.1k Hitpoints



Regarding the Magic Resistance:

- Magic Resistance Cap at 85%
- Magic Resistance and Elemental Resistance stack multiplicatively (( Damage * (1 - MR)) * (1 - ER)) = Damage Taken
- Elemental Resistance Cap is unknown, but appears to also be ~85%
- Alteration MR Perk is a flat 30% MR added to current MR.
- Block Perk: Elemental Protection is Elemental Resistance NOT Magic Resistance
- Magic Absorption is applied before Magic Resist is calculated. It acts as a % chance that you will absorb the spell entirely. If it doesn't get absorbed, the MR and ER calc is used.



Regarding Alchemy and Magic:

- Fortify Destruction potion is a +% Damage potion, unlike the Destruction enchants which reduce spell cost.
- Fortify Destruction potion caps at +162%. If you maximize an elemental perk, this will turn a 60 point spell into a 235 point spell
- Weakness to Element poisons act on the entire damage, so the max 97% Weakness poison turns 235 into 463.
- Multiple Weakness poisons stack additively, so 2x 97% Weakness poisons will give them a 194% Weakness (aka 690 damage)
- Dual Casting is applied before Weakness, so the effects scale very quickly into the 1000's.



Regarding Unarmed:

- Unarmed only scales with Base Gauntlet Armor Rating of Heavy Gauntlets.
- Unaffected by ANY perk except Fists of Steel
- Unaffected by ANY enchant except Unarmed Damage enchant (Pugilist Gloves in Riften Ratway)
- Untested using Shouts yet
- Max Damage is 46 or 61 (+14 Fortify Unarmed x2, +18 Base Daedric Gauntlets Armor Rating, +15 for Khajiit (optional))
- For reference, max one-handed mace damage is 536.

Alchemy Progression Chart: http://bit.ly/tXTbCk

Notes:

- One-handed Weapon Skill enchants don't work on Daggers, so it's damage is limited to 171. Although you can get a total x60 dagger-only backstab bonus.
- Potion-based skill enhancements are time limited, in some cases to as little as 30 seconds. Be quick when crafting your items and enchantments.
- No known enemy has Armor Ignore abilities, but we have not tested whether certain weapon types, such as Daedric, have inherent Armor Ignore.

Got my enchanting and alchemy maxed. Made my +alchemy set of armor, then +120% blacksmithing pots. Ultimately crafted my Daedric bow, improved it, and combined with my set of +46% bow dmg armor, had my base damage over 500. I was one-shotting regular dragons.

Unsurprisingly, the game kind of lost its appeal after that. Thanks Neleus. =P

It's why I didn't jew the game. I didn't want to kill the fun. So I decided against oping my toon.

I knew full well that doing it would ruin the rest of the game for me. But I couldn't resist once I found out about it. I couldn't keep playing knowing I was intentionally gimping myself along the way. It's not like entering some cheat code to enable god mode (though the result was roughly the same). There are items in the game that simply let you craft incredibly powerful weapons. Apparently the same was true in Oblivion and Morrowind (e.g. max camouflage, creating your own spells, etc). It's just part of the game.

As is most often the case, ignorance is bliss.

At least now I can focus on SWtoR. =P

There is a cheat to get every perk level 1 which I also chosen not to use!

Gogan 11-28-2011 02:39 PM

As soon as I accidentally hit my tilde (~) key for the first time and saw the console pop up, I knew there were cheat codes/commands. That's definitely a line I'm usually pretty good at not crossing.

How did you get your enchanting and Alchemy leved to 100? Any trick ?

Gogan 11-28-2011 03:58 PM

Alchemy is an awful grind. I got in the habit very early on to collect every herb I came across, and always looted/stole ingredients whenever I saw them. I'd also buy ingredients from vendors since money is kind of irrelevant in the game. Then I always tried to make sure whatever I crafted would yield the biggest skill increases. It sucked though, no way around it.

Enchanting wasn't quite as bad. The only weap enchant I ever used was Animus to fill empty soul gems, so I was rarely actually using the gems for anything. DE'd everything I could. Bought all the petty and lesser soul gems from vendors since they were super cheap. Then I'd just enchant all the iron daggers and leather bracers I made from skilling up smithing (hundreds).

Being a thief and stealing everything in sight helped a lot, probably.

I need to find a animus weapon. I am going around casting soul steal with my crappy magical pool. Such a pain in the ass.

Thanks for the Tips.

Neleus 11-28-2011 08:41 PM

I hear what you're saying Asano but any stealth / bow class in this game is broken at the moment. I leveled one to 30 and I was clearing dungeons on master difficulty without ever taking any damage. I read that melee provides more of a challenge so I'm trying that now. As far as the overpowered Alchemy / Enchanting / Smiting goes I read that the game more challenging if you just use one. Currently I am playing a Battlemage. Being able to summon 3 Daedra Lords, wear heavy armor, use duel wield or one-hand shield is nice when combined with the armor and resistance buffs from Alteration. For this character I only went with enchanting.

Gogan 11-29-2011 01:30 PM

Yeah, if I ever play the game again, my next character would be a conjurer. My original plan was to be a thief/archer that would summon in a pet for battles. But swapping between spells and the bow proved too slow. Besides, like you found out, most times you can 1-shot mobs w/ sneak attacks. I wanted to do more with daggers and backstabbing, but I think sneak attacks with bows do more damage. Though I hear there are handwraps from DB that increase the backstab multiplier by another 15x. 30x backstabs must be insane.

Choosing between Alchemy, Enchanting, and Smithing is a tough choice. Smithing is the easiest, but least useful of the three, I think. Especially if you play a magic user. Alchemy might be the most useful, but I don't know if I could ever level that up again. With max alchemy and enchanting (for 4pc +25% alchemy gear), I could make poison pots that added 180 damage, and paralyzation pots that lasted 30 seconds. But I guess enchanting and alchemy kind of depend on each other to be super useful. So choosing just one would keep things pretty balanced. That's a good call.

That's a great map Yoox, and a good indication of just how much content is in the game.

Did you "beat" the game? Is there a final master dragon?

Gogan 11-29-2011 02:12 PM

I finished the main quest line, yeah. It's not all that long, really. But there's tons of side content I never touched, e.g. the Dark Brotherhood quest line. The game never really ends, of course. Even after you finish the main quest line, you can go back and do everything else you missed/skipped.

** SPOILER **

You fight Alduin -- the "final master dragon" -- at the very end. But you get lots of help from NPCs, so it's hardly difficult. Don't think Alduin being the final boss is much of a spoiler. You learn about him pretty early on. He's the one raising the other dragons.

Yes, I think I am on that quest now. What level were you when you finished ?

Gogan 11-29-2011 03:24 PM

I don't remember offhand. It was mid-late 40s, iirc.
