1. Pawns have a primary and secondary inclination. They will prioritize the first, in your example Medicant. They will also preform the second, Challenger, when it wouldn't get in the way of their Primary inclination. However some inclinations DO tend to clash and you wont likely get the two in combination.

2. Sorry. I don't have a good answer. I switched to Magick Archer very early and haven't experimented much with normal bow classes since. This is partially because I HATE Daggers so far.

3. My guess would be 5-10 lbs. more. I know Health augments all add 100 and Stamina augments add 100 there.

PS - I agree. Daggers felt a little weak to me and the lack of skills probably didn't help much. I'd have killed for skill that where centric around placing traps. If I only have three goddamn slots then let be just have three different types of Bear Trap so I can work my bow safer.

I appreciate you trying to answer my question but I am not sure if you understood. I am not talking about the "chair" I am talking about the potions you can buy from the Rift Crystal Vendor. How do those work?

1. If you buy the items that cost RC and change a pawns inclination do they all take affect? Or can you only use one at a time? Can my pawn put healing above all else yet still target the weakest foe?

2. What are some good bow skills? I love Full Bend but have not found many others to be very helpful.

3. If I switch to fighter to get the "carry weight bonus augment" how much more gear can my character hold?

p.s The one real bone I have to pick with this game is that you can only have 3 daggers skills at a time. If you switch to assassin I feel you should be able to use Hundred Kisses, Toss and Trigger, Invisible on the main and Sprint, Biting Wind and Helmsplitter on the second tab. Only 3 skills is not enough to choose fom its too hard.

Why do people always have to explain why they like game X over game Y (especially considering I just did in the previous post)? If I told you FFX was my favorite Final Fantasy game of the series would your head explode because FF7 (by general consensus) was clearly the best? I liked Oblivion better than Skyrim and Morrowind simply because I did. You want specifics? Well, I was more engaged in the story, the characters and actually liked the combat (and level up system) better. I'm not a big fan of finishing moves in an RPG. Although I generally couldn't care less about the way combat works, etc. unless it's majorly flawed. With Oblivion I was left with a satisfied feeling and wanting to play more...with Skyrim (after the initial "ooh, pretty" reaction to the graphics) I was left feeling rather "meh" and a little letdown. Skyrim is still a great game, definitely in my top 10 list, but FOR ME Oblivion was better. "The combat still sucks but is better, beastery is better, armor and loot is better. The magic skills are more fun, the graphics are better. The level up system is much, much much better." --Everything in that statement is opinion except for graphics. People need to learn to accept the fact that individuals have different opinions and what may be super awesome to one is bland to another. And as for the same gender romance thing, sure you can look at it as progressive. I'd be all for it if it were presented like that (more so for an action game rather than RPG, true RPGs should not have forced romances period) . However, that's not what it's intended to be. It's the developers not wanting to put in the extra work to present this game from a female character's point of view. I may have been called a woman in the opening scenes of the game I can't remember, but since then (unless I missed it somewhere) I am referred to or hinted to be male (and yes, I know that Ser is a term used for both genders). It's not that often since they do a pretty good job at simply calling me Arisen, but it's still clear that female characters are virtually unrecognized. I'm only about 60 hours into the game though, so maybe my gender will be noted later. Like I said, it's not a game breaker especially since alot of other games do the same thing, but female gamers should definitely be thought of when it comes to a forced lesbian relationship. I mean, my supposed "true love" even acts like I'm male. You'd think the little twit would be the one person to acknowledge my gender, but no. ::EDIT:: Sorry for one big paragraph, apparently the forum isn't allowing more than one at the moment. >_< Lleras

I did not mean to upset you but I honestly want to know why you like Oblivion better. Of course its all based on opinion but at the same time there are some things I just don't understand. The combat in Skyrim is a carbon copy of Oblivion except its tighter and has more weight. You also have more options and the finish moves ( which you don't like). The graphics are of course better and in terms of story you really like closing oblivion gates more then fighting dragons? You don't think the armor looks better in Skyrim? Plus, you can actually upgrade and craft things in Skyrim which makes the game more immersive. As far as the beastry goes I guess thats a matter of taste but I mean there are alot more enemies in Skyrim then Oblivion. Both games use the same foes too often but Skyrim has more. The level up system in Oblivion is ok if you are an obssessive but overall I feel like the system in Skyrim is hands down better. The menu is better, you have more depth in building you skills and it makes sense as opposed to the bonkers system found in Oblivion. Skyrim has better mounts and has followers. I think the point I am trying to make is that from a techincal point of view Skyrim is an improved copy of Oblivion.

Perhaps, since they are similar Oblivion felt more magical because it was more of a leap forward from Morrowind. Or maybe it was just the time in your life that you were playing the game? Or maybe even Shivering Isles DLC.

p.s You can create non ugly characters in Skyrim which you can't do in Oblivion. The radiant AI system is improved as well....

The game is not over but I don't want to get into too many specifics because I have not reached that point yet.

Also, I don't see them list a specific level for any quest. My guess would be around level 17. It depends on your pawns and gear though. If your having alot of trouble try different tactics, switch pawns, gear, or skill lay out. If I have trouble in one place I find going out and getting more xp for new skills always helps.

I have to say I find it a breath of fresh air that both male and female have a love affair with a female. For one thing its a bit progressive in that we wanted you to fall for this "person" the gender does not matter. Or it can almost been seen as a sort of parody of the whole "love triangles" in games that are so unrealistic it does not matter what genders are concerned.

What is it you liked so much better about Oblivion? The story? Apart from maybe that it seems like almost everything else is improved. The combat still sucks but is better, beastery is better, armor and loot is better. The magic skills are more fun, the graphics are better. The level up system is much, much much better. I am no big fan of Skyrim but I feel it is a better copy of Oblivion. What makes you like Oblivion so much better then Morrowind or Skyrim?

I think the reason the game gets much more easy is like you said the healing items but even more its the pawns. Its very easy to buy the best pawns in the game at a very low level. I have Roll and Thantos and that gives me a tank and a utility mage. If you add in my utility mage and my strider abilities and it really takes away alot of the difficulty.

You should not be able to get the "best" pawns in the game by level 12. It kinda undermines the whole system. I am guessing they are supposed to die once in awhile but they never seem to. I am hoping that when I switch to another area the game will pick up the heat again.

If anyone has a question I will be happy to try and help. It does not say anything about double weapon enchantment but it seems someone already tested it and found out it does not work.

So, they are useless then?

In game that seems to think of everything this is a major over sight.
