General Game Info

  • Posted by Xandur the Pale October 29, 2011 - 650 views

    The below info is mainly from, I believe, the December 2011 edition of PC Gamer, but has also been discussed in several other places.  Some of the information is new to me; some is not.

    Numbers of levels the game is balanced to:  50.

    Maximum level attainable:  70.

    Total number of perks:  280.

    Approximate hours needed to reach 93 of the 280 perks:  1,000!

    Damage multiplier for sneak-attack backstab: 10 (although I read somewhere else that it was higher).

    Number of caves and dungeons:  150

    Twelve days to go!

    Actually 1,000 hours to get to level 70 might not be too far off.  Its been stated in a LOT of places that from level 50 up the gaining of levels decreases to a crawl so it is possible that 1,000 hours is needed to get level 70+ (but I'd think more like 7...  more

    I think someone posted this earlier (and then he/she deleted the response), but assuming the max level is 70, and assuming that you get one perk for each level, how the heck do you even get to 93 perks?  Bonus perks?  Multiple perks after certain threshol...  more

    I think the 1000 hours you said required to get 93 perks is probably off, in oblivion your could max out all stats in less than 150 hours, I believe in skyrim it will probably be 300-400 hours, but if the perks have their own leveling system you may be correct.

    Regarding total perks...
    Once again I can't find any articles or video interviews where Bethesda confirms an actual perk count, just the use of lots of words like "about", "around", and "near" when referring to 280 count.
    Let's assume that 280...  more

    They always say they have 150 hand-crafted dungeons, so unless some others are not hand-crafted, it are 150 dungeons

    Anyone thinking of using the advlevel cheat from oblivion 280 times to get all perks?

    Regarding max level...
    I have yet to see any article or interview from Bethesda that actually confirms a hard level limit, but I have seen a video interview with the Bethesda VP where he stated that the max level is whatever level you achieve when a...  more

    If you watch the g4 video with the DB guy it shows 6x damage multiplier

    Damage multiplier is still only 6x for melee and 3x for ranged... The last perk in the sneak set gives you 15x multiplier with daggers only
