Just started with Master difficulty... Really need some investments in Restoration, and the fav button helps alot in switching...

Currently doing a female imperial, greatsword, and light armor.

My nightmare finally coming to me during low level, an Ice Troll, sent me back for doing other skills training such as Sneaking leveling. Now need to improve power bashing and two handed. How is your hp/stamina assign ratio?

In Master + lvl 10 + archery<25, its regen healed faster than me(two hand 40) and lydia's two handed. I can kill it easily on adept(testing).

On High hrothagar quest, first Ice troll so imba, I can fight 4 vampire caster + 1 Vampire master with tactics but not this.

Dropped my twohand/Light armor female(Master),

Started another Orc with Unarmed/Heavy Armor(Master).

Many ppl will ask, why on earth you not using Argonian/Khajit for extra unarmed damage?

Orc:
- Better starting heavy armor level(in Master, it is hella lots better for survival)
- Best starting levels for Smithing and Enchanting(both 20, very important for starting enchanted iron daggers for armor enhancements.
- Unique race powers: Double damage and 50% damage reduction, it can sucker punched boss enemies in good times.

Personal note: I felt Orc look super muscular in Heavy and looks more like boxer, Khajit? nay~~

Yea this is what I doing now, but instead of Nord, I pick Orc, I wondered the player in video is playing Master or just Adept, cause the enemies he killed(including giant) is way too easy to die.

Some tips for how to unequip magic or how to make both hands available for unarmed:

Scenario: both arm equipped with magic

1. equip a bow/other two handed weapon
2. equip a shield(it will shown left hand still got equipped spell
3. equip shield again (left hand shown using shield, right hand empty)
4. equip shield again (both hand will be empty)

example of hotkeys:

1==> for two-handed weapon
2==> for shield
3==> spell equip

During combat and low hp:

press 3 twice for dual cast healing

then press 1 ==> 2 ==> 2 ==> 2 for unarmed

it is a bit annoying but it enable you switch to dual unarmed with favourite hotkeys.

Starting unarmed in Master difficulty is a lot harder, and a bit weird on training

For decent unarmed, both smithing and enchanting level is governed by heavy armor, as heavy armor level need to get near other two to avoid overleveling with side skills.

What I find about the skill efficiency for smithing, enchanting:

1. Gauntlet ratings affected by smithing + enchanting + heavy armor level(alchemy method is hardcore)

2. Heavy armor training(money) = how much money you got after you found the master trainer.

3. Profit made by enchanting daggers determined by how powerful your enchantments and speechcraft level.

4. Thus making enchanting daggers in smaller batch is better than making them in huge bulk in term of profit.

5. How to get the master trainer in heavy armor for free? check skyrim wiki(its not bug)

6. training on heavy armor must balanced with training in smithing and enchanting for decent leveling

How to survive in Master:

1. get a companion asap for muling and tanking from magic damage, as all your early points will go to Health instead of stamina.

2. try to use environment against two-handed opponents/boss as their damage is too high for you to tank in early levels.

After I got the gloves of pugilist, disenchant it, when try to enchant to my dwarven gauntlet, it said:

+1 damage to your unarmed attacks =_=|||

As usual the iron dagger enchanting setting with absorb magicka LOL...

for smithing and enchanting, starting level is very important.

Speechcraft perk very critical for your early money(you know, 10% better price perk X level).

Combine these 3 skills and their perks, it can guarantee your early survival even unarmed. Alchemy is just a plus(imba method).

to be efficient, at same time soul trap for petty soul gems and lesser soul gem for enchanting too.

Troll detected.

Giant/mammoth soul in petty soul gems? LOL~~

Yes somone in the guild interested in Aela, yet you spanared her. It is not a bug. They will attack on sight.

How is your usage of alchemy fortification in normal way?

having both effect of further increase smithin and enchanting with 100 alchemy + perks?

I now doing unarmed enchanting and refinement on gauntlets, any tips for maximize its armor rating + enchanted unarmed damage? in a legit/handwork way.

Riften that one comfy or not? I bought the breeze home so far, really feel like home when coming back~~

Cant brain, anyone care to explain?

Whoa, damn bangla look~ Kudos!!~~

No Frus Ro Dah them?

Gonna wait its GOTY come out baru buy, I not even finish my Fallout 3 yet.

Seriously, It needs a buff on Unarmed, after I tried the build.

Not yet tried, but I fight those elite version of guard/bandit chief, and I am glad I got Orc's berserk power and Lycan + Lydia(tanker). Cant simply fight the Elite alone with other underlings. Dragon? LOL...

Thats why it need a serious buff. Otherwise Unarmed cant survive in Master, only become a sidekick for Archery.

Well, its not the part of defending damage, it is the annoying*endless*no.*of*punches need to deal on dragons and elites and it is not even logical in Master difficulty.

In low level of Heavy Armor, the threat is more like being surrounded by many stacking enemies due to Unarmed not able to finish off enemies fast, in 100 Heavy armor, its the annoying part gets you.
