It really depends on the game/series.
Mystic Knight, Battle Mage, Spellblade (Actually that's different), Mage Fighter.

Spellblades like enchant weapons with black magic and stuff.

Who's scaly, has a tail, and just crafted a set of Ebony armor?
This guuuyyyyyy
Now all I need to to is enchant and refine it.
Which means more Ebony and Soul Gems, but hey, I've got like, twelve grand.

Skyrim teaches you that submitting to dark gods = hella stupid op gear.

♥♥♥♥

Actually pretty useful form in closed dungeons, especially against human enemies. Only bad thing is you can't pick up loot and thus have to backtrack through the whole dungeon to get all your shinies.

That mace. Get it away from me. Get. It. Away.
There are some big improvements over Oblivion in NPC dialogue when they're not directly conversing with the player.

And yeah, suddenly murdering priests and scholars in cold blood when the ominous god voice says to is usually for the best.


Damn wereninjas, always popping up when there's a full moo whenever you feel like it, including daylight, with no major penalty, and fighting (and I quote) "bad people who don't like werewolves."

Just sayin

I assume the daedric weapons are scaled with your level because when I got that mace it was ♥♥♥♥

Everyone knows the absorb health enchant is the best enchant.
Ebony Sword + Absorb Health = best sword.

Best enchant is -100 HP for 1 second on hit.
Wait this isn't Oblivion.

I wanted to try absorb health but then it seems you only get a third of the charges using it that you would if you had elemental damage.
And on top of that, the Elemental Fury shout honestly seems better than any enchant you can apply to your weapons.

LET ME HAVE MY MOMENT WILL YOU

Blacksmithing does seem pretty ridiculous, with something that fortifies your skill you can easily upgrade armour and weapons to more than double their default damage mitigation and attack values
Maybe you don't need it as a mage but everyone else is going to want to try and get full points in it, probably in enchanting too

Blacksmithing might be somewhat ridiculous, but it allows me to wear my awesome standard steel armour, instead of forcing me to wear ugly dwarf, orc or daedric armour. Thumbs up for that.
I still use my upgraded Skyforge steel battle axe while near level 50. It looks so much better than any of the other axes.

I like the ebony arms and armour

Hey don't insult my (almost) complete dwarven armour set, Gotcha!
