The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

You need to have at least 100 Smithing - once you've leveled the skill up that far, you can then use potions and spells to increase it beyond that to a maximum of 255.

100 smithing?! but the bows suck nao

Bows can be awesome.

(I've actually improved it slightly beyond that, now).

I just realized this thread has 404 posts... Have there been any other threads dedicated to a single game that have been this long?!

 

[Yami]

Well, if we call making a thread 'potentially the longest thread in history' a game, then no

But nah I think this is one of the longest.

One of the several Oblivion threads was much longer.

After playing Skyrim, I don't much like Oblivion really.

I have to agree. I like pretty much everything about Skyrim more, except that the guild questlines in Skyrim weren't quite as good as Oblivion's, IMO. Might just be nostalgia talking there.

 

[PP Mguire]

I could easily say the same for the actual GAME in Morrowind was better. Actually had to think.

Which is understandable. Bethesda's goal from the start was to take Oblivion and improve everything to do with it.

The main gripe I have is the lack of different climates like ES3 and 4 had. Once the lands are fully recreated that won't be a problem. Other than that it's far better than 4.
