Skyrim, just over 1 month away.

[Frenzy]

On pc I have a few bugs but I don't mind cause it looks awesome:lol


On the ps3 I have been bug free since the update 1.3 starting with a new character. However I have not seen a dragon flying around and I'm on level 50. Don't know if that's a bug. I haven't started any main quest line so maybe that's it. Only dragons I see are at the word walls.

[Muser]

I'm pretty sure there's a bit of them on consoles too.. How far are you into it? You haven't seen one?

I'm level 42 and have completed all the major factions and Daedric quests, haven't really noticed any glitches apart from when the Dragons would fly off but that got fixed.

I dunno maybe i'm just really lucky, I didn't even notice many glitches in Fallout New Vegas.

random dragons don't start till you kill the first one at the battle of whiterun

[Frenzy]

So I guess it is/was a glitch then. Cause I had already done that when I was level 20 or so iirc. But either way I just reached level 50 and finally saw one randomly...jeeze took like 30 levels. Better late then never I suppose. Careful what you wish for cause this dragon caught me totally by surprise and killed me. I was so concerned with getting and removing my alchemy gear(while making some potions) I forgot to put my regular armour back on. I hadn't noticed I just had on my white boxers with ebony boots :lol

Edit: my bad I put I hadn't started the main Quest when I kinda did the first two or three and just wondered off.

wait what? First dragon encounter at level 50?! :lol I killed my first dragon around level 7

Wow, this is strange: I got an achievement for clearing a 50th dungeon when I killed a Spriggan Matron outside nowhere near any dungeon. :lol

Dungeons are classed as any location which has a set amount of non respawning enemies I think.

well damn, no more quests, (except thieves guild, which I don't want to do)

I was hoping by the time I got this far, there would be an expansion pack out.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

*spoiler*




so i fell into starting the Foresworn Conspiracy quest outta Markarth, and it was fucking awesome

Killed the shit out of 3 guards, got thrown into Skyrim's version of Alcatraz, had to haggle myself a shiv (crofl) and killed the shit outta a rebel leader, then absconded his secret passage key and broke out

Fucking awesome

My bitch Lydia was outside there waiting for me too, so it was perfect

dual attacking with shivs = greatness

Crap, I thought the orc camps were bandit camps and started clearing them out early-on. Now they won't let me in to use their master trainers at the ones I haven't cleared, lol.

Yeah I saw that. When I realized the Foresworn were dominating I started killing them, they wouldn't fight back, just kept saying, "I'm on your side!" So I went to a previous save, snuck behind the king in rags, and dual-shived the shit outta him.

I didn't want to help those Foresworn bastards, lol

Haven't ran into any of those yet, but clearing out a mine of Foresworn got an orc stronghold on my map, and this orc dude said I'd be welcome.

Since my guy's an orc, figure I'd be cool with them.

old news, but still worth posting

Skyrim DLC Packs Will 'Have A Lot of Meat on Them'

"They won't be quick."

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/121/1214602p1.html



really the only interesting part of the article is the last tidbit.

"Previously, Microsoft announced that the first two DLC packs for Skyrim would be exclusive to Xbox Live (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/119/1190880p1.html) for 30 days."

seems like you made the right choice cbf.

[The Reckoning]

as far as I know, other than the "radiant quests", and all the "I'm looking for work" dialog options that I've ignored. and that guy in Windhelm who wants a drinking contest, guess I could go do that yet...

lol you still have ALOT to do. the drinking contest gives you the sanguine rose, which is OP, and the quest is fun to boot.

if yall only want to kill dragons (after all, thats what the game's about) do the blades quests where you bring followers in and then go dragon hunting.



spoilers:







during the kill parthanax quest, it glitches if you talk to him first, so dont talk to him and just start killing him. when i killed him, he fell off the mountain and landed in the village below...it was a bitch trying to find his body.


on a side note, maybe this game gives a little TOO much freedom...like marriage for example:

JHvx0l_tVEw

[vander]

but Parthanax is all right, I dun wanna kill him.


also, how did that guy manage to decapitate all those chicks? I only get a decapitation like once in every 10-15 kills

[The Reckoning]

either probably he modded it or saved before killing each one...

Hey anyone with an xbox, how do you download patches for skyrim?

I just realized I hadn't patched the game yet....not that I have been having any problems with bugs, it's been running okay

Also, is it worth installing the game or do the graphics look shittier like some others on the web have said?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ehh figured out the patch thing you gotta actually be hooked up to xbox live

but anyone with info on the install thing, thanks

[Dex]

As you have realized, Updates/patches are offered automatically if you are hooked up to the internet. Come to think of it, my ethernet on my 360 is disconnected, so I haven't even patched mine yet.

As for installing the game, I've never noticed it causing any issues with the graphics with any games. Just helps (quite drastically) with loading times and such. I have my Skyrim installed onto a 8gb flash drive and it loads stuff up pretty quickly.

[The Reckoning]

i installed mine mostly because i didnt want to scratch my disk. loading times are short, and i dont see any difference in graphics.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What about the 1.3 patch? Any trouble with it? I been, playing like.crazy and haven't come across any glitches our bugs. The ground kinda gets crappy looking when I'm running and looking downwards, pother then that no complaints. I'm nervous to download any patches cuz don't wanna.fix something that ain't broke.

Same here for the most part. I've had a couple cases where objects will blend together. Also, when fighting my first giant, I was only able to beat him because I had him chasing me up a mountainside and he somehow fell halfway into the ground and got stuck, so I just blasted him in the face with arrows. :lol

I also found a glitch in Whiterun where if you back into this certain corner outside a house, you fall into the ground and can mole around, but you can jump out pretty easily.

And I've had one case where I saw a dragon but he just flew away. He was way off in the distance though and I'm not sure he even "saw" me, so I don't think I'd really consider that a bug.

I'm just getting into fighting the Ancient Dragons now. Gottamn, those things are a bitch.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah I think some dragons are quest related and can be seen flying found their lair, and won't kos unless you go to them, while others beyond your level won't attack. I have reached blood dragons, they always, make me deplete damn near all my healing potions

[baseline bum]

Dragons are super-easy to take out with either firebolt or ice spike. Especially after you get your smithing and enchanting up to 100 and then make dragon armor with all sorts of enchantments.

[Dex]

I honestly didn't have much trouble with the Dragons until I started fighting the Ancients. My firebolt / ice spike barely does anything to them, and I'm only able to get a few of those off before I get blasted by their dragon breath and have to start spending all my mana healing. Plus they are quick, and if they get anywhere near you, they'll chomp you in one bite.

I need to start using more hide & seek tactics when I go up against them, because facing them head on like the other dragons isn't working out too well. And I'm still working on building my enchanting and smithing right now, both are at about level 70-80 but I'm waiting to max them out before I spend my grand gems making a good set of armor.

[balli]

I dl'd 1.3 the other day just so I could install. I was nervous too cause I didnt have any problem without the patch. I poked around the web and thw general consenus seemed to be that it was fine to install. I did and no issues thus far. It doesnt really fix shit besides the install to hd issue and the 1.2 bugs, but yeah, no problems.

Duck into and out of cover. I never had problems with ancients even when my character's level was in the 30s. Of course if you use ice spike against an ice-breathing dragon it won't do anything. Have you used the destruction perks for fire and ice? Once you do firebolt and ice spike are killer spells; my character is level 74 and runs through practically every enemy in the game with those two spells.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Hey a dragon just randomly died in front of me and I got its soul.

[BUMP]

tbh i gave this a try the other day and thought it was kinda boring. See enemy, press same button over and over to kill him. Although I've only gotten to the part where you escape the cave thing, so in other words not very far.

Does the game get any better or should i contemplate putting a swift end to my existence?

Try playing in 3rd person I hate playing in first person makes the game that much more fun to me but you probably won't like it regardless

I've spent 1 Perk each on Augmented Frost and Augmented Flames, guess its time to upgrade them again. My Firebolt has been my go-to weapon recently (kills most humanoids in one or two blasts), but using my Ice Spike on a fire-breathing Ancient still seemed to leave something to be desired. Gonna have to go Turtle Turtle on his ass, I guess.

I could see how it might get boring if you are just a hack'n'slash kind of character, but honestly, I've been surprised how many times I've changed my offensive tactics. Through 30 levels, I've gone from using 1-handed weapon and shield, to 1-handed+destruction spells, to using a bow+restoration spells, to conjured weapons + restoration spells, and now to dual-casting destruction. Seems like there are lots of way to kill things tbh....but yes, you will still have to press buttons to do it.

Using firebolt is useful at high levels since it takes little magicka and always stuns the thing you're trying to kill for a second or two. It's incredibly useful against necromancers and draugr deathlords who can deal a lot of damage against you when you fight them with other tactics (of course stealth with a bow works best against them when you can do it).

Does Lydia ever die?

That bitch has tanked dragon breath, and taken like 15 arrows at once to the platemail boob area, and all she does is complain and whine but she never dies.

I decided to reward her by tempering her sword to flawless. Now she's even more ruthless than ever before.

Are all companions in the game this fucking strong?
For a while I've pretty much only been using her to tow around my Dragon Scales and Bones, leaving her behind on the fun stuff.

Oops, I forgot to mention dual-casting firebolt and ice is useful at high levels. They're pretty shitty single-casting.

[The Reckoning]

using a staff of firebolt while casting firebolt from the other hand is also badass...the staff gains your perk benefits so it is potentially stronger than an initial firebolt. works with any other staff/spell combo that share the same school.

I switched to destruction after one-handed got to easy/boring, luckily I already had 100 enchanting/smithing/alchemy/light armor, so most enemies couldn't do me much harm, but the battles took FOREVER for a while.

pair it with alteration and restoration. duel cast whatever destruction spell would be most effective for that certain enemy.

frost for melee, shock for mages and fire for everything else (unless its fire resistant). make sure you have a follower to keep the enemies occupied while you blast them. you could also put perks in conjuration to have an atronauch with you as well. if you cant get away from an enemy hold up a ward and use the other hand to cast.

up your enchanting and put some badass enchants on plain clothes and pair that with mage armor from alteration (thats what i do, anyway)

do the mages college early on as well. the benefits/gear/spells is worth it. the dark brotherhood also has decent mages gear.


right now im making my own vampire kit lol...dark elf, vampirism, some alteration and restoration, necromancy, illusion, sneak, enchanting and alchemy. i wonder how itll pan out.

[baseline bum]

I can't remember which stone you select, but one of them makes magic skills increase 20% faster. The best way is to get enchanting up to 100 and then put effects on your armor that up your total magicka, increase magicka when you level-up, and use both Augmented Flame and both Augmented Frost perks. Then dual-cast firebolt stuns the enemy on every hit and you can generally kill everything without getting hit once as long as you're fighting one enemy at a time and don't run out of magicka.

Shit, I killed the Silver Hand leader really early on in the game, so now I can't kill him and progress any farther through the Companions' Questline. :pctoss

I replayed that game recently and it still holds up. I still got my black label copy too chea.

[Fernando TD21]

I finally bought the game. But I wonder if mages are better than "regular warriors" in skyrim? I like using swords/bows so I made a nord warrior (level 18). I was in college winterhold and a blood dragon shows up. I kept getting killed so I had to wait until a group of mages came outside the builiding and killed it.

[The Reckoning]

warriors are infinitely better to play as far as power goes. just make sure to level up your blacksmithing and keep upgrading your armor/weapons. enchanting works as well.

i use the mage for hire in the bee and the barb at riften for a companion. freaking OP with my warrior.

[baseline bum]

Just don't try to be a mage and a warrior at once; I imagine the game would end up getting pretty hard if you're upgrading both magicka and stamina, and without using perks and upping stamina the one and two-handed weapons are awful even if they're deadric shit.

I'm both, I upgrade everything and so far I wouldn't say it's THAT hard... it's rather enjoyable.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Yeah I guess its possible if you dont max out any other abilities. I'm maxing out heavy armor -- enchantment -- two handed -- smithing.

Conjuration and Speech are actually easier to max out than smithing even. Conjuration just keep soul trapping a dead body (animal, person, doesn't matter) and speech you just keep persuading the guy at the counter of the Black-Briar Meadery in Riften.

Morrowind had no fast travel, right? That would really blow in Oblivion or Skyrim.

[The Reckoning]

fastest path to level that ive done so far is head directly to the thieves guild at level one. pick pocket everyone in town to max out pick pocketing and then use all the gold you make at the guild to train other skills....lol i can stealth and steal someones armor and weapon before they even attack me...as an imperial its not even fair because you can run all the way through a dungeon and then use voice of the emperor to calm everyone...then stealth and pick pocket what you're after.

[baseline bum]

Can the pickpocket perks get all your money back from the trainers at high levels? I think I only got 1/5 on the root of the pickpocket tree and the perk for making gold 50% easier to steal, and I could never pickpocket more than 1500 gold. If I used armor, rings, etc enchanted with pickpocket bonuses, my chance to steal would drop from like 20% to 0% when it was a decent amount of gold.

[The Reckoning]

yeah i think when the merchant has over 1500g its automatically 0% chance. i was able to pick pocket the blade of woe and use it while doing the dark brotherhood quests lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Morrowind had no fast travel, right? That would really blow in Oblivion or Skyrim.

Nope. You had teleportation in a circle around the island via the orc strongholds, giant bugs that would transport you to adjacent cities, the mage guild would teleport you to other mages guilds, other than that it was all running.

Which really wasn't too too bad when your acrobatics and athleticism were god-levels, along with a few levitation potions, you could get around easily enough.

But the actual land area just seems so much bigger to me in Morrowind. I have been cutting back on fast travelling in skyrim and was blown away how quickly I was able to run from Whiterun to Markarth.

i tried a new leveling method today that worked out great. i started out and went straight through the dark brotherhood quests. now i have 20k septims to spend on maxing out blacksmithing and enchanting with a full set of daedric armor, and the blade of woe enchant to make more gold off of.

[Frenzy]

The most random comment or should I say sound I came across was a Kajiit hiss. I just happen to come across a Kajiit thief and decided to build up my blocking skills so I just blocked his shots for a few min. Eventually he says "enough......hissssss" :lol

Even more funny is I started a new character,a Kajiit and the comments enemies tell me. "My uncle had a kat like you....haha I killed it too" or "your gonna make a nice rug cat" haha good stuff.


Any amusing comments when your an argonian?

Khajit is awesome in Skyrim just like it was in Oblivion; the only shitty thing is Khajits have the weakest Fus-Ro-Dah.... it comes out sounding like Fooooos-RAAAAAAHHHHH.

most random comment was when i was using the mace of molag bal and a guard said "That mace... Get it away from me, get it away!" lololol and some of the books like the Lusty Argonian Maid have gold one liners.

speaking of khajit, some of the unarmed combat animations are badass if you roll unarmed. just get heavy armor with the perks and heavy enchant your fists with the brawler enchant.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Still have not tried power leveling anyone yet.

My main orc is still only level 29, and I'm just wandering around collecting as many shouts as I can.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I got tired of cancelling updating Skyrim so I intalled the latest patch and now I'm starting to see my first bug

Randomly when I fire an arrow the fuckin controller disconnects and I gotta reset

[The Reckoning]

did you download the patch to the patch? i havent had any major bugs at all since i fully updated the game.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah it says I'm at version 1.3

[The Reckoning]

try changing the batteries. thats what other forums are saying.

[baseline bum]

Is there anything positive to being a werewolf? I played as it once and is sucked like hell since you can't pick anything up, and now I don't get any sleep bonuses. Is there any reason whatsoever to not get it cured? (I thought I saw a topic about curing it in one of the conversations in the game)

You're immune to all disease which is helpful other than that its useless on master because your armor is turned into light and you get destroyed by even the guards in town. There's no reason not to be a werewolf unless you wanna be a vampire.

[BlackSwordsMan]

And the cure was for Koladk I'm not sure you can cure yourself I've never tried

[baseline bum]

Immune to all disease? LOL, who gives a shit? Oh, that 0.3 weight Cure Disease potion was really killing my inventory. :lol

[Muser]

Werewolf was awful imo, hated that you couldn't turn back and had to stand there waiting for ages.

And to cure yourself you just throw another hags head into the fire and fight your inner wolf thing.

[BlackSwordsMan]

You could hit wait and it'll go away =]

[vander]

I cured my werewolfism but occasionally people still say I smell like wet dog. :depressed

Just got all 24 stones and the crown and all I get in return is a perk to find more rubys and amethysts in chests? Vex screwed me over bigtime. :cry :cry :cry

I try not to read too closely into posts like yours cuz I don't wanna get spoiled


But seeing that sexy bitch invite me into the dark brotherhood was cool.


Am I the only one who finds term dark brotherhood to be slightly racist

Also, is companions supposed to be this game's warrior guild?
I have avoided them cuz everyone in Whiterun besides the sexy female smith at Warmaidens are a bunch of fucking clowns...I had fun raiding that city and claiming it for the Stormcloaks.

[BlackSwordsMan]

I spent all day looking for blacksmith potions to get my gear past the 100 smithing got 1k defense now

[baseline bum]

1k defense?

[BlackSwordsMan]

over all armor defense? it tells how much your defend is when you go to appeal look down

[The Reckoning]

im pretty sure theres an armor cap...thats why dragonbone is best because it's light

[baseline bum]

LOL... I was going through my stats to find where the hell the armor number is, and I saw one of the numbers tracked was Bunnies Slaughtered :lol

[baseline bum]

Oh ok, my armor rating is 465 with Legendary double-enchanted Dragonscale armor, helmet, boots, and gauntlets (I never carry a shield, so that has to significantly lower that rating). So is your armor is all Legendary Daedric (+shield)?

[BlackSwordsMan]

Its legendary deadric no shield. I use two handed weapons -- club.

[BlackSwordsMan]

I just found a deadric artifact that war hammer it looks so badass even though its weaker than the deadric warhammer I'm going to use it

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Daedric armor looks so much more bad ass than dragon, its not worth messing with dragon scale or plate.


Do giants respawn? I been massacring every one outta revenge for them sending me into orbit at earlier levels. Going to be sad if I run outta giants to kill

[BlackSwordsMan]

yeah they respawn the closet place I can think of is outside of white run look for a mammoth symbol

[The Reckoning]

anyone do the namira quest yet?

"bloodiest beef in the reach!"

do the deadric quests you'll see why

[Cant_Be_Faded]

So giants are greater souls, but mammoths are grand? That seems like it should be reversed to me.

[Dex]

So giants are greater souls, but mammoths are grand? That seems like it should be reversed to me.

I agree. Mammoths may be tougher (take more damage), but they are easy to deal with, especially if you have some rocks nearby to gain the higher ground. Giants can actually chase you and seem to be more mobile.

Maybe they just consider Mammoths grand because in order to get to them, you'll generally have to deal with a couple giants first.

[baseline bum]

I can't believe the Draugr Deathlords don't have grand souls; they're by far the hardest non-boss, non-dragon enemies in the game.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Yeah only mammoths give grand souls.

[Dex]

According to the Skyrim Wiki, some Draugr Deathlords give grand souls, as well as certain bosses (King Olaf One-Eyed) and Falmer Shadowmasters. Ghosts and Dremora Kynreeve also give grand souls, but can only be captured by Black Soul Gems, just like NPC souls.

[The Reckoning]

azura's black star makes life so much easier. one of the first things i get when i start a character. you wont have to worry about enchanting.

[BlackSwordsMan]

azura's star also has another form which holds greater/grand souls but you can only pick one form

[baseline bum]

The Black Star can hold any kind of soul; perhaps they'll fix that bug (feature?) in a later patch.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Haven't messed with azuras star. The game is already getting easy enough. Gonna have to bump up to hardest difficulty. I barely been actually enchanting anything of serious importance cuz using only greater.souls makes the game pretty damn easy.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Couldn't imagine how easy things are with grand souls. Been saving them up in case I wanna go that route later

[BlackSwordsMan]

Grand souls don't make you powerful or anything they just give you the highest % of enchant you have.

Also yes this game is very easy with good gear I've been playing on master and rarely die

[Brutalis]

I'm too lazy to level my enchanting skill. What's sad is my Orc starts with a nice enchanting skill. I just don't have the patience for that. Leveling smithing was so much easier.

If you play the heavy armor warrior type there's nothing better than an Orc with his beserk perk. He see's red and it's over for anyone close by, giants included.

[Brutalis]

Also I'm trying to figure out why the little vampire chick in the Dark Brotherhood doesn't sell Daedra Hearts when in other characters she did. Pisses me off to no end and no alchemist sells them. I'm only level 21 though. Any of you guys playing on Xbox Live? Add me - "JawsTheme" without quotes herpderp.

And if there is a quick/easy way to level enchanting let me know.

You can level enchanting fast by buying up a bunch of petty soul gems and then making and enchanting cheap items like daggers or bracers. Just go and soul trap a bunch of mud crabs, wolves, and deer for your unfilled petty soul gems.

Deadra hearts can be bought from one of the vendors at the College of Winterhold. He's on the second floor of one of one of the buildings there. I think his name is Enthir or something like that.

there is another way. after you complete the mehrune's razor, you can go inside dagon's temple and 3 daedras will continuously respawn. they all drop hearts, so it's easy farming.

for those of you who lost shadowsmere there's another equally as good horse called frost look around in that bee bar in riften for a guy to steal it

[Fernando TD21]

I never use horses, but there was a horse (i think it was in markarth stables) that I rode once and now he keeps following me. Every time I fast travel he is there.

I wish there was a way to level up alchemy faster. I got smithing at max level and enchanting close to max level but alchemy is not even at half.

[4>0rings]

Cheating - oghma infinium bookshelf glitch

Honest - just mix random potions I'm afraid. I Maxed out only on fortify potions don't see the use in the others tbh.

(Cheating if you wanna call it that) steal salt piles and Cyrodilic Spadetail fish found often in barrels around the riften doc. Make a restoration potion and use it...Then make it again(while on the potion) you can do this if you have all the alchemy gear on..the potion will get stronger on stronger. More detailed version can be found on Google I don't even know why I'm typing this but oh well :lol

I think I'll do it the hard way, mixing potions and finding the guys who gives training. I don't use much potions, but I need this to make better fortify enchanting and fortify smithing potions so that I can upgrade armor and weapons as much as possible.

Here's a tip if you lose Lydia somewhere (don't know if this works on other followers, or if you need another code for them)"

In console, type "a2c94.moveto player" (don't type quotes). It will spawn her right in front of you wherever you are. This doesn't work if she is dead or sometimes if she is glitched. There are other codes to revive her if she dies as well, but I don't remember them off the top of my head. This can help you not lose her when she can't follow you over certain terrain or gets stuck somewhere. I don't really consider it a cheat as it's more of a fix. Makes the followers less annoying.

no more one shotting your follower even though theyre in full ebony/daedric armor...

[Useruser666]

This just teleports her right in front of you from where ever she was. I think it even works if you told her to wait somewhere. It's not the revive code, so her inventory isn't changed. I suppose you could cheat by leaving her at home in wait mode, and then summon her to the dungeon your at to hold stuff. That way she doesn't even need to wear armor or anything and is basically a summoned trunk/mule.

[baseline bum]

LOL, yesterday I was playing the stage where you go to kill Alduin the second time, and got stuck twice. The first time a draugr deathlord shouted and sent me in between an urn and the wall, then the second time I jumped into some rocks and couldn't move after.

who's lydia and why is she so popular? I dont ever do the main quest in TES games and I picked up the first mercenary I could (fistfought him and he said he'd join me) and haven't thought about any other companions since (about 50 hours in now). is she main quest or something? does she have anything extra special about her?

Yeah, you get her super early on the main quest line. She's more of a nuisance than anything else, really...I've had to reload so many times because her dumb ass got herself killed by rushing up against dragons/wizards/etc and she's a complete waste if you are trying to sneak. But she makes a good diversion and mule, so I try to keep her around.

I told her to wait somewhere at some point and then lost her, and she ended up showing back up at Dragonsreach after a while.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Lydia has died on me twice now, both times were cuz I accidentally landed her a blow with my sword. I don't get how she keeps dying on you guys. Lost her twice, but most times I take onrough terrain, I just wait an hour and she reappears after the wait is done.

I think she and the rest of the followers doesn't level up, so on later levels the enemies get stronger and can easily kill her.

She was very helpful to me until level 30 something, now she dies all the time. But I still keep her with me to carry the things I find.

I just double-enchanted my armor with fortify carrying capacity as one enchantment, as the followers seem to do more harm then good for me since they always run in like dumbasses and fight 10 guys at once who I would rather just pick off one at a time.

I enchanted an amulet and a ring to increase my carrying capacity but I always end up wanting to carry more. Besides if I use these amulet and ring than I can't use the ones with fortify two-handed and fortify archery.

Maybe I should just stop taking things to sell. But Lydia doesn't bother me much during battles, I just tell her to wait before the battle starts. And usually when she is attacked, she just assume that kneeling position and get up after everyone is dead.

Do you have a house yet? I use the chest at the foot of the bed in the Archmages Quarters and just store my crap in there. My char has a relatively low stamina (200) so I have to go back every now and then and unload, but I have a treasure trove of magical weapons, staffs, smithing and alchemy components, books, armor, potions, and dragon bones/scales just waiting around for me to do something with, be it use them or (more likely) sell them. As long as I keep up with unloading, I'm rarely pressed for carrying capacity.

[Muser]

I married the woman in the trading shop in riverwood and she gives you the key to the house, and gives me a percentage of the business every week.

The Dragon shit is only useful if you use light armor, as Dragonscale is the best you can have. For heavy armor you might as well make Deadric instead.

I have the house in Whiterun and the house in Solitude. I don't carry a lot of things all the time, it's just when I'm coming back from some quests with a lot of things to sell.

I'm thinking about getting that heavy armor perk that makes the armor weight nothing. Those daedric armor are very heavy.

There is a perk (in one of the steatlh skills) which also gives you 100 extra carry points.

its basically a reusable grand soul gem. i enchanted soul siphon on my bow so when i need a grand soul i use the bow. once you use the black star, you can refill it with another soul and it never "breaks."

I'm getting to the point where I have to carry around a two handed weapon to boost my level. I'm almost maxed in everything I use, and leveling has slowed considerably. Might use mage stone and start leveling up those magic skills I never use

[BanditHiro]

tbh the best use of the black star is weapon charger. once you get the banish enchantment you can make iron daggers worth around 1600-2000 depending on your level and gem you use.

it only cost around 160 gold to make (iron ignont leather strap petty soul gem) great way to level enchantment since you can just hope from town to town buying soul gems and still making money or losing very little if you decided to buy grand soul gems.

Video games are not keepsakes. Dont buy games as gifts unless youre comfortable with the fact that at some point they will become obsolete and will be sold.

I trade in every system I own the moment the new system hits the market. Why do I want to play Wii when WiiU plays all the same games and is better (for example)?

Same with XBox, PS2, SNES, N64, PS, etc...

Games just have quicker turnover.

I put up close to 100 hours on that game in the first two weeks and still am nowhere near being completely done with it, although I haven't played in about a month, but still. There's no one someone could beat that game in a month completely unless it was literally all he did and had a bed pan next to him to save time

[leemajors]

Your only mistake was taking it personally, he just wants to play something else now. It has nothing to do with you.

Oh yeah and as for add-on, Oblivion had Knights of the Nine (you know, I still haven't done this because I don't want to lose all my infamy :lol ) and the Shivering Isles (which is an entirely different map/realm accessible through Cyrodiil) so I am sure that at some point Skyrim will have an expansion with a new realm or some new quests.

Yeah, it plays very differently if you're a thief with a bow as opposed to a hack and slash character. The game is much harder in the latter case though.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Really? My hack and slash orc is cruising now, and that's with no enchanted weapons or anything better than minor enchantment on armor like 10% health Regen. I still get wasted by mages, gotta play them smart, but the major turning point in dominance has to be the shield runner perk. It's just pure beastly. I'm thinking of going for those alteration resist magicka perks, those seem to kick ass

Without enchanting my armor I would constantly get raped by any mage or necromancer who cast thunderbolt spells. Easy to handle when you're a mage or a thief and do ranged attacks, but pretty tough doing hack and slash without good enchantments.

I haven't paid any attention to the MQ until now. I am at the part where you go to Skyhaven Temple for Alduin's Wall. Aren't I supposed to be getting Blades armor here? These two Imperials haven't said anything about joining or Blades armor. I r comfoozled.

Cool, found it.

[Brutalis]

So I was walking out of the Bannard Mare in Whiterun, and a guard dropped dead in front of me. I thought surely this is a glitch and I'll have a bounty but nope, I didn't. Weird shit.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Without enchanting my armor I would constantly get raped by any mage or necromancer who cast thunderbolt spells. Easy to handle when you're a mage or a thief and do ranged attacks, but pretty tough doing hack and slash without good enchantments.

It's the ice spells that really screw with me. The slow down effect leaves me a sitting duck for more spells. I usually use ethereal our unrelenting force to get the first attack edge, then when ilk close keep bashing them before they can get more spells off

This is the tactic I use with tough magic users. I'll also equip a weapon that is enchanted with shock. Use unrelenting force to knock the wizard on their ass, then start whacking away and by the time they recover, you will have either killed them, or at least drained enough magic that they won't be able to get their spells off.

Just picked this up (finally).

Man, why did I wait so long? It's unbelievable, especially with the mods I have. Soooooo addicted already.

I assumed battlefield 3.

I should have..

Not to knock on skyrim,which is pretty dam awesome. But just for the simple fact that bf3 has multiplayer and skyrim doesn't. Sure I mastered skyrim but I have nobody to show off to. At least with bf3 you can show off a bit...to other players. Now since I'm late with bf3 people will use me to help them show off :lol

Yeh. A combination of BF3 and the 15 other games I need to play through. I haven't even played the FO3 expansions yet. :depressed

maybe if you dumped your girl youd have more time. difficult choice tbh.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Lol, I woulda guessed cry havoc already completed every quest with every possible race class combination by now.

Having fun with new character. frost dragon's own my ass though.

Just about everyone's ass... tbh those are the ones I fear the most :lol they just keep coming to you... and bam.. bit.

that's cause you're supposed to be a Nord

[Trainwreck2100]

nord with nightengale armor
frost dragon=f:lolcked

[Cry Havoc]

Already have about 6 mods running for Skyrim. PC is seriously the only way to play this game. It looks gorgeous before the mods, but after... it's just stellar.

[Dex]

Even as a dark elf, Frost Dragons never caused me much trouble.

Ancients, on the other hand....still have to fight those things like a little bitch, hiding behind stuff and popping out for firebolts.

first time I came across an Ancient, I had just switched from light to heavy armor, and from one to two-handed weapons (to keep leveling up). and not only were those skill levels low, but the weapons and armor I had to that point acquired for heavy and two-handed were crap, and I had left ALL of my light and one-handed stuff back in solitude. :bang

that was one long, stressful, awesome fight, I think I leveled up two or three times

[Cant_Be_Faded]

That's where I'm at now, I gotta start using trip handed and light armor to continueleveling up. It kinda feels cheap lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I had to change the difficulty up to master. I was running thru dungeons, shield raised, taking in draughr death lords with hardly a scratch, don't even remember last time I used a potion of any kind. So I upped it to master, and a bandit chief almost took me out by surprise. Had to actually use a health potion, lol.

Daedric armor, with minor smithing enhancements, and one blacksmith potion gives me near 900 armor. Giants just tickle me now.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Oh yeah, and the White Phial is downright nasty. I chose the magic resistance version, since magic users own me, but the attack boost version can make a lower level character go beast mode...definitely a worthy early acquirement, alongside the black star.

I got my Daedric armor to like 1500 by making fortify alchemy gear, wearing it and making fortify enchantment potions, using them to make better fortify alchemy gear, wearing it and making better fortify enchantment potions, and so on until I couldn't make better alchemy gear and enchantment potions. Then use the strongest enchantment potions to make fortify smithing gear and the strongest alchemy gear to make the strongest smithing potions. Then wear the strongest smithing gear to make the armor, and while still having it on, use the strongest fortify smithing potions while improving the armor. You end up with your main piece of armor worth like 20,000 septims (is there even a merchant in the game who can pay that?). You can make nasty-ass swords, axes, warhammers, etc using that method too. Also the enchantments on your weapons (even if you choose to make them strongest with the least number of uses) take forever to run out using the fortify enchanting potions constructed with the strongest fortify alchemy gear.

yeah I've been aware of that method. But I don't really like pursuing that God-level character. Like I was saying, the game is easy enough. My weapon does bout 95. damage, and with a store bought 20% one handed boost necklace, tactics are already pretty much out the window. I used to have to treat every fight as if I might die.

When I get serious about starting a mage type character, I'll prob use this method, cuz it's really hard at early levels not depending on weapons.spent more time reloading the game after death than actually playing lol

Really? I think the early levels are far easier as a mage than hack and slash. The best destruction spells (firebolt and ice spike) are cheap to use and are much better for fighting dragons and necromancers (the two toughest enemies at lower levels).

Well yeah, some parts were easy, but I found dungeons to be more difficult, when a strong dragher would come chasing me, and I had little to no room to run and let my mana recharge. It was basically me running like crazy and taking a hit here or there, and by the time I had enough for a spell my health was now near gone.

[Fernando TD21]

I'm close to level 60 and I think I'll stop leveling when I get there. There is no point in trying to maximize every skill if the skills I want to use are already maxed. Specially now that I've completed almost every quest.

I didn't like the way this leveling system works.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah, there is something kinda lame when I find myself forced to use two handed weapons, and light armor just to continue leveling.

for you pc guys the new patch looks good. Archery/Magic killcams

[vander]

if only there was anything left to do, anyone left to kill

[Cant_Be_Faded]

if only there was anything left to do, anyone left to kill

Have you completely finished it

[vander]

Have you completely finished it

pretty much, except for thieves guild, and I'm not going to kill parthanux either.

I'm hoping, though I know it won't happen, that one of the DLCs will be missions to destroy the thieves guild, only available to those who never joined. that would be sweet, Oh how I want to kill that byrnjolf or whatever his name is.

[redzero]

Finishing the Thieves Guild gets you the best looking armor in the game.

[cheguevara]

sooo. got this for my bday and started playing it. I was not impressed at first but after reaching level 6 I got the hang of it. wow. great fucking game.

it's pretty easy, I on on hard level and with the bow can kill pretty much anything. of course it takes time.

best thing about this game is you feel like you are in it. Especially on 1st person POV. not sure if it's my big screen, the sound or the fact that I play it when everyone in the house is passed out and lights off, but it's fucking great atmosphere. Probably best I have ever had on any console :tu :tu

makes Oblivion seem like a distant memory

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I need to get back into this. Been playing a ton of Halo Reach, cuz I was so pissed at how bad I was getting my ass kicked.

[cheguevara]

I am getting my ass kicked by 4 witches. goddam 2 of them got some fireballs like a motherfucker. bomb the shit out of my level 14 weakling

Shit, I already cut her head off. :depressed

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Why would you do that?,I make that fox guard my lil breezehome

[cheguevara]

lydia? that bitch joined me in one mission and dissapeared somewhere. what the fuck

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Crofl, the few times I lost her, I prepared forit, did a quick save before travelingthree rough terrain, and just reloaded

[cheguevara]

so this is a bug?

whats so useful about the bitch anyway?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I like companions in general to use as extra carrying space for loot, and maybe carry any heavy ass dragon bones or scales until I find a place to sell them

[cheguevara]

ah good point.

[MavDynasty]

Bitch also makes a good distraction if your an archer/mage

[baseline bum]

If you're an archer you're probably a stealth character, and she just gets in the way then by running in after you land your first arrow.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I've been using Janessa, the dark elf chick....gave her two awesome swords in case a damn elder dragon shows up. At master difficulty these bastards destroy me every time

[cheguevara]

yeah those fucks usually are a nuisance rather than help

this game is getting monotonous. just kill, kill, kill. it's beautiful, but not much more than Dungeon Hack

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I still have yet to explore the dwarven ruins

I'm at the dwarven ruins you have to go to in the main quest, and the scenery is always so bad ass in these games in those places

I been saving the other ruins for later

Those places, at least the ones I've been to, are fucking massive. I was going through one for a quest and I just wanted to speed through it and even then it still took me like 45 minutes to get outta there

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Dude! No kidding...the ruins for the main quest after that hermit in the ice island sends you there....I expected to fly through, and Ispent two hours on it and not done
I am at the part where you go so fat underground you are in that place with huge neon mushrooms, trying to collect all thirty of those red ninroots

[Cant_Be_Faded]

The Kinect update is available
Anyone try it out? I'm not so sure it'll be worth it, lol

[baseline bum]

I hadn't played this game in a couple of months, so I played it for a while on my 360 yesterday. Got the newest update and now after killing Mercer I can't sell the Left Eye of the Falmer to the bald-headed guy in the Thieves Guild. Fucking shit, they got this stuff sorted out in the patch before last and then broke it again with the most recent one. :pctoss

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I finally had a skirmish with Alduin.....my orc with berserk and the wind slash shout is a killing machine

[IWantsACuatro]

I married an orc. Everytime I leave home she says "Conquer your enemies, my love."

lol I wish my girl would say that shit when I leave home.

I'm rolling a storm mage with the new patch.

Holy hell the kill shots are great now!

[spursflow]

My brothers got this for me on xbox. .. still haven't opened it. Too worried its going to consume my life.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah the new kill shots are the best part of the last patch

[MannyIsGod]

I got it a couple of weeks ago. Its more fun that I would have thought. I'm rolling with a redguard tank but I almost want to start playing with light armor and sneaking around more. I just think I'll miss my shield too much.

I have done dual wielding orc, sneaking/bow Khajit and sword and board redguard. Khajit was by fat the easiest and funnest. Maybe cause it was my first character.

[IWantsACuatro]

Damn if you want a REAL challenge level up a pure mage while playing master difficulty. You pretty much have to kite everything, even wolves and shit :lol. Fun nonetheless.
