Walking through the hot springs area and ran into a group of hunters lounging in the hot water in their underwear - armor, shields, etc., all laying on the shoreline by their tents.

Not expecting that one.

My vanilla daedric suit gives me around 550-600 when I craft it myself (shield included).
No enchantments. But the armor is all legendary. My smithing is 100. Oh and I also have an ancient knowledge that gives me 25% bonus while wearing dwarven armor.

I saw that one the other day. They all look up at you as if to say, "...what?" :olo:

Yeah, apparently changing bindings can completely fuck the game, so it's best not to even try.

That's actually normal, SoM. LMB controls your right-hand weapon, and vice-versa. :down:

it makes sense in the way that the left button is tied to "default action", ie attacking and right button to "contextual action", ie "alt fire".

when switching between dual and single wielding, it'd be miles more annoying if the buttons were changed back and forth I imagine

Thanks for asking but mine is fine. You need the fixsomshittymouse perk.

It does make sense for sword-and-shield attacking. Holding the RMB to block is way more intuitive than the LMB, but when dual-wielding, it's pretty much the opposite. All things said, I should be able to rebind them however the fuck I want. :offended:

i don't like the idea of holding RMB when my shield is on the left side, fucks me up.

Should RMB also be used for firing an arrow? Its on the right side of the screen

I agree btw, that you should be able to rebind it. I was just answering the question as to why it is as it is.

Yes, actually. That was the first thing that made me want to rebind my mouse buttons. I hold RMB to aim down sights in games like BF3 and MW3, then shoot with the LMB, so I would have liked to do the same in Skyrim. I've gotten used to it now, though. :smirk:

then how would you release? LMB?
if so, how would you zoom (/block) if you have the perk?

I'm thinking about making a new character. Possibly a dual wielding character, although they say thats the most difficult to master. Anyone attempted this?

I was playing a cloak n dagger kind of dude, but (d)evolved into an hunter / dual wielding bro.

works ok, but you gotta learn how to use your enviroment. your AC is very low and you cant block, see.

also, get the assassin's blade perk asap. striking in stealthmode is 15x damage. combined with dualwield powerattack == ultimate dps

The finishing move for the 2-handed hammer is hilarious. The first time I saw it, I burst out laughing. :up:
