=Over 100= I would also love to read about what happens if I raise a weapon skill (eg. Blade) over 100 with enchanted items. Will the weapons do more damage? I remember that in Morrowind, they did not. 81.183.144.109 15:28, 2 August 2006 (CDT)

It only applies to some skills, e.g. Acrobatics will still make you jump higher and Athletics will still make you run faster, but I don't think it applies to Blade, Blunt or Hand-to-Hand. -This message by Spriggs077, a.k.a. Awesome Faic!  23:28, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Freezing game
whenever i try to save my game, fast travel, or sleep after i have attacked the people ar pyrite's shrine my game freezes. Does anyone know why it does that or how to get around it? If not, does anyone know of another way to easily and quickly get my blade skill up?

Get caught in a petty crime and it will reset it. The freezing happens because you are doing a bunch of unreported crimes and they add up to freeze your game.

How does Blade compare to Blunt?
I figured blade overall is faster and a bit weaker and blunt is slower and faster. I was wondering because it doesn't make sense for them to be different skills it could just be melee. Which do you think is better? Bobdylanmonkey (talk) 00:22, January 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I can tell you, fighting with a crushing weapon is quite different from fighting with a slashing weapon, and even more different from a stabbing weapon. With a crushing weapon, the force is used to devastate opponents, disregarding armor and shielding by focusing on causing your opponent pain and potential internal trauma. Slashing weapons are built for a more patient fighter, one who exploits gaps in defense to cause trauma and blood loss to opponents over a period of time, usually while defending one's self from said trauma. Melee is not a good blanket category, as the word melee doesn't really have anything to do with sword fighting in particular; it simply means "a group of people fighting without group tactics."

 * It's also far better to have separate skills because, honestly, look at Runescape. A guy trains up to level 40 using a sword, gets a membership and all of a sudden he instantly knows how to use a halberd, even though they use entirely different fighting techniques. The reason a skill is even called a skill is because that's what it represents: your skill with a particular field. Increasing your skill with blades won't help you fight with a mace. -This message by Spriggs077, a.k.a. Awesome Faic!  23:28, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
