Board 8 > Skyrim kicks massive amounts of ass, but I have to know. *spoilers?*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Are their any blatantly overpowered perks/trees I should be investing in, or is everything just about even?

And when do I get to use kick ass summoning magic instead of this fire ice and lightning garbo?

Nothing is even at all, but if your goal is to be overpowered you can absolutely break the game.

When you hit 75 conj.

The Fortify Restoration effect in alchemy is about the equivalent of making Fortify Intelligence potions in Morrowind. Essentially, Skyrim's alchemy is Morrowind's alchemy all over again.

Go go fortify enchanting 8000005% potions (trying to put an enchantment on an item with this much fortification crashes the game though).

Smithing/Alchemy/Enchating will completely destroy the game.

I figured crafting skills would destroy the game.

Only problem is I never come into enough resources.

So speech and skills like that blow? Do they offer any distinct advantages/options?

To me there are two standards of worthlessness

1) Tryhard worthless, in which speech doesn't accomplish what a gun can't. (Think Fallout 3, New Vegas if you're extremely stingy)

2) Real worthless, in which speech offers zero new dialog options or solutions and paltry bonuses.

I think speech only really affects shop prices, and even then, you find gold and other junk all the time.

Speech is great. Lets the shop keepers have more gold.

That's really the only thing worthwhile about the speech tree, that and being able to bribe/intimidate guards.
