Standing Stone Options

[King Coin]

Which Standing Stones in Skyrim have you all used? Which is your favorite? Do you switch regularly, or do you generally take just one and keep it?



To answer my own questions, I've used very few of them. I start with one of the Guardian Stones that you pass on the way to Riverwood at the beginning of the game, and then switch it out when I find the one I want.

I've used only two of the other Stones in game: Atronach and Lord. My favorite is the Lord Stone because my primary character is a light armor, dual sword Khajiit. Its bonus to armor and resistance to magic without any negative effects is invaluable. Aravi has only switched once, and that was to replace the Warrior Stone with the Lord Stone.

Depends, but I generally go for the one of the Guardian Stones if I'm playing a character specialising in either magery, wariorness or thieftacular deeds (those are all real words), and if I'm going for a character who's generally spreading their skills across many classes, such as a spellsword or something similar, I'll pick up the Lover stone if I can get to it. Never really bothered with the other stones, though.
