Enchanting skills?

[PocketYoda]

I see we can boost stats which is pretty pointless after 100.. But can we enchant skills like sneak, blade Acrobatics and such, i see plenty of bought armor can, mostly heavy but why cant we do our own?

If you are talking about "can we make enchantments more powerful than the loot offers" No. It isn't possible to go beyond some pre drop loot. Especially when some of the items have 2 or more enchantments. Which it is something you can barely do in Morrowind, but oblivion you cannot do such thing.

What a shame ok thanks, enchanting seems very weak in Oblivion.

[Shaken_Widow]

you can enchant with the fortify skill enchantment, but they won't be as good as found loot like killer said.

that being said, the fortify skill enchantment needs to be unlocked by using one of the doomstones like the steed stone for instance, which will unlock the spell for enchanting.

the thing is, the transcendent sigil stones will always be better than the regular enchantments made by soul gems at that point.

it is still good to unlock that spell from the steed stone though because that is how you will be able to make spells that can give 100 bonus to any of your skills, (the spells are better than the enchantments despite being temporary,)

Stats can be pushed up to 250 iirc. Using alchemy, enchanting and/or direct restauration buffs. At least it's true for some stats, mybe not all of them.

The only 3 skills to benefit from over leveling are speech-craft, acrobatics, and athletics. All Attributes can also be over-leveled but will not increase damage. For example increasing Strength past 100 will let you carry more but you will NOT do more damage with weapons.

vanilla yes, always.
unless mods are involved.

i use "Stronger Soul Gems" mod with optional file "+90 to constant effects" (on armor pieces)

so instead of +10 attribute / skills i get +100 attribute / skills per armor piece worn.
and +115 magicka / health / fatigue instead of +25

I had a comment typed out that was going to explain how you simply didn't understand what I said; but then, I decided that I don't care and typed this instead.

Speed make the player go vroom vroom fast whee!
