There are people that can increase a specific skill if you pay them. Aela for example increases archery

Training is not a waste of money! If you ding without maxing out your 5 training sessions, you are wasting your leveling. Even spending on stuff you don't need if you are low on cash is worth it.

You don't even need to waste money for training. Just make them your companion, train and then make them give back your money by "trading".

Training is a waste of money. Those 5 sessions count towards your level progression.

Lol. Skinnypupp, you clearly do not know how to play the elder scrolls games. I've played since morrowind, and I'm pretty sure I've played oblivion more than you. The more you level useless skills, the weaker your main skills are compared to your level, and you will have a tough time killing enemies.

Seriously, learn to play the game before you spout off nonsense

Ummm, train in your useful/main skills ? Once those are maxed, why not invest in secondary skills ? At the point where you're maxed out in your main skills, the game is so goddamn easy and tedious that you may as well try something different to spice it up.

Your insulting, condescending rant made absolutely no fucking sense ...

:fulloffuck:

Yes, as opposed to doing what you already do to level? Except now you pay to get what you normally get for free? (which is the whole point of saying "training is a waste of money")

Lol full of fail.

Training is a massive waste. You skill up faster just doing shit.

...wait, what level are you? 20k per level!?

dude training is basically free... just get a companion who you can train with and level up. Then just trade and get your money back...

The game is already too easy without maxing out your levels.

One piece of advice: Don't save up things like potions and small soul gems. use them up or sell them ASAP. That little stuff respawns, and there are enough dungeons that you'll never run out, especially once you are powerful and can kill baddies quickly.

But if you save them up, you'll have tons of them scattered in your inventory, and merchants will never have enough $$$ to buy them all.

Max out speech so merchants will have more money :)
Lol jk i wouldnt waste my points in this.

I guess it depends on your play style. My character is quite rounded, with points in a lot of stats:

archery
sneak
lockpicking
speech
pickpocketing
one handed
light armor
smithing

If I was to never train, some of my lesser used skills (gained from, say, hand to hand combat) would be far behind others (like getting beat on to increase light armor). So by level 40, I might be in the 40's or 50's with the lower skills, but with training they are in the 60's and 70's with the other skills.

The thing is, skipping training is permanent. Once you level, you just lost 5 chances to train a skill that is lagging behind. And as someone said, money in the game is easy to get (you are almost always richer than most merchants). So why not?

Why would you need to have some of those skills in their 40s or 50s? You'll never use that stuff especially since the game gets easier as your character levels...combat is especially easy once you have equipment.

I barely use any magic so most of my magic numbers are in the 30s. I'd rather just start another character instead of leveling one character with all the skills at 100.

:facepalm: nevermind then :fuckthatshit:

I WANT THAT MOD. So many fucking annoying kids I want to kill

Killable Children at Skyrim Nexus - Skyrim Mods and community

:fullofwin:

ahahahah "You shouldn't play with psychopaths. *SCHWING*"

For some reason my sound is fucking now. People seems really quiet sometimes and normal the next. What the hell ?

Are they normal when they're off-center ? My friend had a sound driver update install that set his sound to surround; everything still worked normally except Skyrim, which was ultra quiet when looking directly at someone. It was a quick fix in the sound properties.

omg, most hilarious video ever. This is the same guy that does the "Operation ______" videos on YouTube :haha::haha:

omg my game is so glitched ... npcs wont open their stores.. quests wont open... love the game hate the bugs waiting for the next patch before i can keep playing

Need helpp!! I have this "bound sword" how to get rid of it?

just did all the daedric quests. some of the best weapons come from them, especially 2 handers

Sheath your weapon?

is there any mods that make the weapon fighting actually realistic and satisfying ?

I tried getting into the last Oblivion game but just couldn't get past how they wielded their weapons, very clunky and looked like something out of the PS2 and Xbox era...
feels very robotic and unatural when youre fighting would be the best way to explain it
When I play these types of games I'm always some sort of warrior class mainly fighting with weapons.
The other issue also is the way the characters and even horses move, especially on uphill or downhill terrain, it's just horrible.... these are things that you do for most of the game, fight and walk around so pretty big deal

Actually a very good article on Kotaku linked here, 10 Things I Hate About Skyrim pretty much nails some of my complaints
