I'm back...

[Bob Schroeck]

It seems to never pass up an opportunity to encourage the ridiculousness. For instance, I was querying it today about switching my focus to excessive Fortify Health enchantments once I learned that no matter how abusive the armor I create, I'm still taking 20% of any damage inflicted on me. It concluded:

So for your stealth archer, once the armor cap is secured, the sensible hierarchy becomes something like:

Reach armor cap → increase Health → improve your actual offensive abilities → indulge in increasingly absurd enchantment names.

The last step is, naturally, the most important. Your enemies deserve to know exactly what killed them.

I'm not sure where it got the idea I want absurd names for my enchanted items. The couple times I asked it for suggestions I was perfectly serious. It's the ones I named on my own that are absurd.

And I certainly don't need to improve my offensive abilities. Not much, anyway -- like I said, 94 Archery plus a crossbow that makes the girls' 300-damage wooden swords look proportionally weak, using dwarven bolts. And I've gotten really good at the half-mile snipe. Which is a big change from the first ten or twelve hours I was playing, when I simply could not hit anything with a bow to save my life. Thankfully a few trainers (including Angi on the mountain) and several skill books -- plus a friend pointing out what I was doing wrong (my real-world archery experience does not apply in Skyrim) -- got me over the hump.
