Whats the point of using the CBBE body if you want an armour to completely cover the body. Why not use the standard body then there will be tons of armour mods.
Actually the body style only comes into effect if it's that type of silly armour. The armour mesh will use a body type be it vanilla, CBBE or whatever and if you use it then your character will use that body type. So if it's a proper coverage armour, or clothes like I posted above then it won't matter what body mesh it uses. The only seams visible will be neck, hands and feet and they stay the same.

The vanilla armour meshes are modded to the body shape. I prefer that shape (which is scalable) to the default.

If you play on a PC you can mess about with stuff. Import extra contented into your game. Different armour, new houses, different weapons etc. If you are on a Playstation or Xbox like me just ignore it.

Finally took down Kvenel the Tongue, whom I'd given up on after he killed my Lydia last week. So much for offtanking.
Flame atronach for the draugr, then sneak/shoot/sprint/hide/repeat. A good challenge, it's been a while since I've had that. I'd forgotten that levelling Sneak actually does reduce your detectability, especially in the dark.

It's funny, Steam says 172 hours played 9over how many years!) and yet playing it again after a few years, I find new quests I hadn't done before.

Although I remembered why I stopped playing; if you level correctly, by the time you reach level 30 or so you are basically invincible. Still it's good to just explore.

If you find it getting too easy, turn the difficulty up.

Ha, I'm at level 13 at the moment and nowhere near invincible asides from wolves and normal bandits, quite the opposite irked That said my character is a sneaky-bd/assassin type and have a habit of charging in all gunsswords/spells blazing.

Currently exploring/fannying around rather than seeing these greybeards. Also, I've ditched Lydia as I couldn't have cleared some of the bandit camps around the first town/city without her (in particular the leaders) so probably best I try to go without her and possibly level up quicker? Even if it means sometimes running away/getting killed etc...

I never bother with followers - most of them are gimps. However, I do use the conjure stuff spells - conjure Seeker (I have Dragonborn installed) is especially useful as is summon spectral assassin.

I spent a good 15 minutes using a table in a tomb to put space between me and a Draug Deathlord as I spammed healing spells and potions before darting in, hitting then using the table again.. I think I was only level 10 or something and way above my head.
Ground it down over time though.

Followers are handy in trick situations and will help you carry off ‘a good lot of gear’. To stop them from wading in and slowing your levelling up process, ask them to wait while you go ahead. Then you can sort out the baddies first. Should you forget to go and get them your follower will eventually get fed up with waiting and return home.

She's a crap tank, that's all I know. Mine died ages ago, then re-appeared, and died again.

I got bored with the Alduin quest line, so I cheated (player.resethealth FTW!) to get through it as quickly as possible, and now I'm done, apart from all the other questlines, that is…

If you are on your own, and have a bandit camp, location you need to clear to continue have a good look around for a good sniping position then take them out one at a time with bow and arrow, fire, duck down and hide until the eye symbol closes. You'll be increasing sneak as well as ranged weapon skills. Just remember to not get too close as to alert them and the more the location if inaccessible to them the better.

As an example there's a great spot on the lower cliffs to the right before you get to Valtheim? Towers (the bridge guarded by the bandits East of Whiterun). You can take them all out from there as they all charge out to look for you and as long as you can avoid their arrows you don't really have to hide. smile

After playing dark souls and Skyrim, I all ways wished they had took Darksouls combat method. IE you lock on to individual enemies, but obviously not as difficult
