How long could you be in the wolf form?

If you can make whatever your wearing/carrying invisible as well for 60 seconds you could get very rich with that one though...so even if the wolf form lasted as long as you wanted, I'd probably go with invisibility.

Invisibility would be useful -- but having it wear off the moment you interact with something (like a door) would be a bummer.

I don't see him saying that would happen anywhere, although I guess it did in the game didn't it? So yeah, not very worthwhile...unless...and think about this....it doesn't wear off if you ALREADY interacted with something. So you could go invis, run into a vault, grab a bunch of cash and hide in the vault till the next day, then go invis (while carrying the stuff already) and run out.

So you could still get rich hehe...it would just be harder.

But yeah that kinda ruins it, so unless my wolf duration was really short, i'd go wolf for sure.

50% resistance to poison and disease (permanent effect)

I dont get sick all too often, but to cut that in half would be great. Would a 50% resistance to poison mean it takes twice as much booze to get drunk?

Got a couple questions about the 50% resistance. Is this just you're at a flat 50% resistance now, or is it a +50% resist boost. Basically, are you at 50% resistance, or are you at your natural resistance with an additional +50% boost on top of that? Secondly, it says poison, does that include venom. I'm guessing yes, but clarification wanted.

Also, the once per day limit is really unappealing for the abilities, especially since they last for such short amounts of time as well.

Perhaps the reason we can't fast travel in real life is because there are always enemies nearby.

Something else (explain)


I guess unlimited werewolf transformations is out of the question? >_> iirc, that ability might have only been unlocked so long as you were wearing that one ring.

Unlimited wolf mode use (especially with abilities) would be an easy pick. Otherwise, I'm torn between water-breathing and night vision, if thuums are off the table. Counting thuums, it'd be a toss-up between unrelenting force and bend will (although I also like aura whisper... although iirc I think you got a version of that in wolf mode). Probably bend will.

If it's game mechanics, you need to keep eating hearts or something to maintain it. Otherwise it only lasts several minutes.

You can't get that ability unless you're able to murder them covertly, otherwise you get a bounty.

Nah - all you have to do is kill the last witness and the bounty clears.

Though even if you do get a bounty, you can usually buy it off pretty easily.

Pssht, amateur.

When you save across 40 different files, you never need to worry about save file corruption.

You can also preserve milestones that way. Want to relieve an awesome moment from your life whenever you want? Yeah, that's save file #137. Just go reload that one whenever you want to go back and re-experience that moment. Then reload your most recent save to get back to your normal life.

From racials? Underwater breathing. Invisibility would rock and I could do a lot with that, but you just can't beat having 2/3rds of the world suddenly becoming open to you. The sheer volume of stuff you could do underwater would be amazing.

In all of Skyrim? Slow time. I mean, imagine playing, say, Baseball and right as the pitcher throws you use that shout. You'd ALWAYS hit the ball perfectly! Nevermind any other sport. Or the sheer volume of things that you could do in other careers or life in general with the ability to slow down time. Catch every thief with ease as a cop? Steal effectively whatever you want (with a little bit of planning) because of how slow everyone else is? Whatever your career you could almost certainly do much better with the ability to bring the world to a crawl on a whim. Hell, imagine being a magician and being able to ACTUALLY grab bullets from the air because of this shout?

Dragonscale would just make it worse. Extra weight. But even if I can't explore the super-deep parts of the ocean I can still do a lot and not have to worry about scuba gear or anything.

Or dying from the pressure differential the moment you dive too deep, since waterbreathing doesn't compensate for that. So most of the ocean is still mostly closed off to you.

There's also the added problem of underwater visibility being mostly shit even in the places you can reach, meaning you're still going to need at least some gear to make any diving viable.
