omg, they got rid of the level cap and made perks resettable

[spoiler]

The downside is that is requires resetting your level 100 skills down to 15. [/spoiler]

[spoiler=actual dragonborn spoils]being able to reset a skill tree and reattribute the points somewhere else is actually what you get for beating the main quest lol

but the skills of the character i beat it with are perfectly managed so i didn't even do it [/spoiler]

[Thyme]

well currently it's impossible to experiment with all the perks because once you select one it's permanent

the point of the update is to allow you to be able to reset your perks, but at the cost of resetting your level with it (of course you can level up normally after that and get it back to 100 again, but that's time consuming)

i see the point, but i'm not sure i'd ever do it myself, even though i do have a few perks i think i've wasted on things i really didn't need

well the advantage of not being able to reset your perks was that you got to make a new character

rofl as if that's ever happening

two things i learned yesterday:

-there's a 'wait' function

and particularly embarrassing

-[glow=black,2,300]you have to manually unlock shouts that aren't pertinent to the story[/glow]

i might be cognitively impaired

[Nyerp]

holy fucking shit tectron you can't be serious

like i'm not even joking, what the fuck

[Kalahari Inkantation]

I know.  If at some point in the game it tells you that, I must have missed it.

i mean i had noticed a while ago that they weren't unlocking themselves like i initially assumed they would, but i use shouts so infrequently that i never bothered to look up exactly how it works until yesterday lol

some tool tips do pop up from time to time, at least early in game when you encounter a new function or something. They should also be listed in a help section somewhere in the settings.

that would be nice, because i'm not going to remember those little tips when i only get my first non-story shout twenty hours later and for some reason it's locked while the story-related ones aren't

[Kalahari Inkantation]

on the plus side, i was able to unlock every single one and all the extra words i had because i had about 70 souls at that point

what prompted me to look up how to unlock them was actually getting the trophy achievement for finding all 20 shouts, but somehow still being unable to use the majority of them

i'm now only missing three words

So, how close is Tec to 100%ing this?

i don't think that'll ever happen because there are so many worthless miscellaneous quests, but i do plan on doing to two main quest lines i have left

though if by 100%ing you mean obtaining all the achievements, maybe i'll pursue that, but probably not because it'd require returning to much earlier saves for things i've missed or screwed up

[spoiler]

though that's not necessarily too much of a problem since i've kept all 22.7gb, 3100+ of my saves...........[/spoiler]
