I'm probably going to be getting it on xbox, just prefer these kind of games with a controller. Also I don't really like modding.

I know those at Bethesda Software are constant readers of the sc2sea.com forum and so I would like to say guys, I think you made some mistakes with Oblivion. It was a fantastic game with a few major flaws which really let it down. So I'm going to do you guys a favour and give you some pointers (^o).

My Skyrim Wishlist:

1) I'm going to hope the story of this actually tries to leave something to the imagination rather then the recent "blockbuster games" Hollywood style. Too many games these days Jam ridiculous scene after ridiculous scene upon you that it gets a bit dull

2) I want an option to turn off giant arrows telling me where everything is. Role playing games really aren't fun when you're playing the role of someone that has giant arrows in their field of vision telling them exactly where shit is. Is it that hard to read a damn map?

3) I want far less then 25% of the quests to be "get me 50 firestones. Ogres normally carry them". Just tell me to kill 50 ogres because you hate the bastards, it sounds cooler. More importantly the more quests where some sort of intuition or clever alternative can be found to just killing the bad guy, the more interesting the gameplay. And no, just choosing between saying "I believe you, lets do this" and "I don't believe you I'm going to kill you now" isn't intuitive or clever. It adds fun and choice, but this doesn't add the depth to the game which comes from the player outside the game being forced to think around a problem.

4) I want atmosphere. No epic, booming music doesn't count as building atmosphere. It builds suspense, an entire game can't be built on suspense (unless its a bloody well-made game, and definitely not a free-roam RPG). So yeah, basically I want the Morrowind soundtrack back :P.

5) I want darkness. Not like in oblivion where steadily 50% of the world becomes covered in these portals which turn the surrounding area into a burnt out monster-orgy. I want a darkness associated with the nature of the place. Whether it be a harsh desert often filled with searing sandstorms, or an ancient ruin that is broken and decaying yet has an aura of dormant power.
The Oblivion Portal thing clearly denoted an alien invasion sort of scenario where these were clearly bad guys you were at war at. There was nothing uncanny, nor ambiguous about these creatures. Nothing to fear, simply an enemy invader, announcing his presence through clear symbols of the outsider.

I hope the designers have taken a look back at the Daedric Shrine designs from Morrowind and why they were such freaky places. The architecture, the creature, the sounds, all of these were neither clearly evil nor good. Even the worshippers were sometimes friendly and sometimes instantly murderous. And so they were always a place of fear and awe. In and around these places of fear and awe the imagination works to create myth, myth builds upon itself and soon enough you have a real world behind the game. (Note this was aided by the fact the monsters here were friggin powerful, no silly scaling system (impossible to balance in free-roam RPG) allowed level 5 characters to go in and disarm a place of its fear.)

I agree with all of PiG's suggestions, in particular the creepy atmosphere of Morrowind being all dark and dangerous without trying while Oblivion was neither while trying very very hard. Also, the soundtrack of Morrowind. Yes. Just Yes. I'm going to play this again after i post this.

If we're having a wishlist, i'd like to add some things.

1. I want depth. I want Bethesda to stop the downward spiral of "free-roam" games, that actually lead you down a more linear path than any of us expected. Oblivion disappointed me greatly. You could play the game for 8-10 hours, and finish it without doing a single side quest. Sure, you knew they were around somewhere, but you were never coerced into doing it and the rewards weren't really all that great. You could do just fine in the game without doing any side quests at all. Don't tell me "oh Hellfyre, there were expansions though." No. Sit down. Shush. If i buy a free roam rpg game, it is not so i can finish it in less than a day and wait for expansions to come out. No. I want depth. I want story. I want something to rival Morrowind. Yes Morrowind had expansions, but the game without expansions was HUGE. You had to find your way around for one, which added hours. I could talk on this point for hours, so i'm just going to leave it.

2. I want atmosphere. I know PiG talked about music and sound atmosphere, but i mean the whole world. I don't mean dark and gloominess. I mean the little details. I mean giving everyone in the world a name. Books that tell me that the monster i just killed was a good person once. People hating me because i play an Argonian. Whatever. If there is one thing that Oblivion and Fallout lacked it was depth. Oblivion made me want to actually side with the demon thing over the patheticness of the people. Don't even get me started on Fallout. Atmosphere, Bethesda, atmosphere.

3. I want Bethesda to stop dumbing down their games. Slowly, they're taking a less RPG element and more turning into a dungeoneering Diablo element. The massive amount of skills and attributes from Morrowind might be a bit much, but that was half the fun. You actually had to think about building your character into a sorceror or a ranger or a warrior. You couldn't just pick up a big sword as a mage and kill something, it didnt work like that. Sure some of the skills were pointless, but come on, that forced us to go back into that damn mine to kill some more Kwama foragers so we could get that extra few points in destruction so we could kill that damn guy blocking the bridge. Oblivion got it right, but if the press releases are anything to go buy, be prepared for a mindnumbing experience of little to no intelligence.

4. Difficulty. Now i'm not saying the games should be impossible. I'm not saying they should be even very hard... I'm just saying that in Oblivion i think i died a total of once the first time i played it, and in Fallout it wasnt much more than that. Those two games pale in comparison to the shining light that was Morrowind, which i must say was one of the most frustrating things i have ever subjected myself to. Yet here i am, raving over it like a schoolgirl. It was hard. That made the achievement in completing it even more satisfying.


I am looking forward to this game, probably not as much as some of you are, but still i am. I won't pre-order it though, not because i can't afford it (though i probably can't), and not because i dont have hopes for it. I do. But with Oblivion being the biggest disappointment in my gaming life so far and Fallout getting high praise but not doing much to sate my thirst for a good, new rpg, i dont have any confidence in Bethesda's ability to buck the trend and actually make one of the only decent free-roam games to come out in the last 5 years.

"I just found out tonight from a friend that skyrim has a grand total of 4 voice actors in it. 1 for the main character and 3 for everyone else in the game. Basically my wish 2 has been killed, with a severe crippling of wish 1 added just for fun.

Good work Bethesda... Good work. /sarcasm"

My bad, point proven wrong. Serves me right for trusting my friends and not looking first.

The graphics are awesome. I probably won't play it though. Can't have more than one game at a moment.

I played Morrowind to the last mission or nearly but disgusted myself out by farming and optimizing my leveling so much. So I barely played the extensions. I really fear to go on the same sort of thing. ><

Finally out ! Who else has picked it up and what platform are you playing it on? I got it for xbox yesterday morning and I haven't really stopped playing. I was doubtful that I would play it frequently before I bought it but I am hooked .

I was really worried that the fighting wouldn't be great but I think it is my favourite part about the game. The controls are really really tight too. I love this game

I've never actually played a elder scrolls game, when morrowind came out my pc couldnt play it, and then later I got oblivion..and I just did not like it. Not sure if I should try this....I still havent played the witcher..loved the first game, so the second must be played....when I get time

From what I've seen Looks like the elder scrolls games are more about customization and open worldness rather than story and atmosphere, that isnt my thing, or does it pick up later?

If you're going on Oblivion when you state that it's more about open worldness than story i would say yes. Read my post up near the top (the long one), it explains what was wrong with oblivion.

Morrowind was great in terms of story. In fact it was amazing. You had to put a lot of effort into it, but you got out of it just as much as you put in.

Skyrim is currently looking as good as morrowind story wise so far. Fingers crossed that it continues it's upward trend.

And it's so damn pretty. :P

Elder Scrolls games probably have MORE atmosphere and story than any other games i've played. The game is pretty overwhelming early on (just the sheer mass of stuff to do) but you get into a rhythm with it. That's the point, you do things at your own pace

No the point is it is a massive open world that you can do whatever you like, which also has a story and awesome atmosphere. Honestly Skyrim is a much more refined Oblivion, the world feels more gritty and real, and you aren't 'locked' into your class choice, you can literally fast travel to a location and change your star stone and BAM you can level magic quickly now instead of sneaky skills.

Honestly you should try renting it on a console (borrow a friend's console for a day if you have to) and give it a go for a few hours. If you like it get a PC copy, if not no big loss right?

IMO witcher 1 was one of the most flat and boring RPGs ive ever played. Didn't touch witcher2 as a result. You probably wouldn't like these games if you enjoyed it!

Yeah witcher was really boring for having well fleshed out characters and inspired story line. Success as an rpg in the 21st century is tough enough already due to the cookie cutter shooters flooding the market. The guys that made witcher should have realised you cant put too much emphasis on characters and well written plot, and god forbid that you actually be able to make choices that affect the game. Not hating on skyrim, i love it too. Just a little annoyed at what rpgs must conform to if they are to even have a CHANCE at being successful in the age of cod.

Gotta be quantity over quality, simplicity over depth, linear plot progression as well as siiiiickkkk graphix

Skyrim (PC Version) has been able to drag me away from SC2 since Friday and I've racked up about 15 hours of gameplay so far so playing it that much alone means it's won my tick of approval.

Graphics: Amazing, simply awesome. Only downside is when you get close up to textures they look muddy and blurred but when you move back it's much clearer. The towns, landscapes, weather system - truely incredible.

Gameplay: A lot of games these days are trying to go with the 'non-linear' approach that you can do what you want - but not all actually live up to it. With Skyrim you can pretty much do what you want, when you want, how you want. If you don't want to follow the main quests you can go raiding doungeons, joining guilds, doing small tasks for people for gold, once you get in-game and explore the world and see how many options get thrown at you you'll see what I mean. I've lost count of how many times I've been side-tracked during quests. Apparently the game will also generate quests (more so jobs I believe) for players so there is always something to do.

Battle: It is a bit hectic and it doesn't venture TOO far from Oblivion in that sense but cool new spells, awesome weapon sounds which make them sound so much more real does improve battle's quite a lot when compared with Oblivion.

P.S. Fighting dragons is AWESOME, especially with the sound cranked right up.

I can't really go into it too much as I haven't finished it or anything. But if you did enjoy Oblivion you'll love Skyrim.

Here are a few screenshots I've taken, not my settings are on very high but I don't think I have everything at 100%.

Playing Skyrim, few hours in, I'm lvl 4, heavily magic focused (as always) Breton.

I play on Expert (hardest level), and gotta tell that conjuration is OP. Summoned Flame Atronarch 1-shot 5 or 6 bandits, and it only takes my entire mana pool to summon, and lasts for 60 (!) seconds. I'm basically bossing around with tis summon right now, and nothing can hurt me.

Already killed my first dragon, the fight would've been much more epic if it wasn't jumping around like a mad frog. And I sat behind a rock for most of the fight, while me summon did the dirty work.

Mercs suck. Crafting sucks. Alchemy sucks.

That's my opinion so far. Sorry for spoilers, don't have time to put in collapse.

Yeah I haven't even bothered with crafting or alchemy at all, doesn't seem to be worth the hassle.

Well I've just finished the main story-line and I purposefully avoided it for most of my play time (opting to do my own thing instead for the past..week). Here is my quick review of Skyrim. Keep in mind that I've hated almost every Beth RPG since Morrowind, including Oblivion and Fallout. Now there will be spoilers below, so if you don't mind learning about general plot you don't need to worry, this will be fine for you to read.

+ Show +

Story: 7/10. I gave it a 7/10 because the main quest-chains were very generic. You were a part of a rebellion/trying to stop a rebellion... You have to slay a dragon or he will end man kind with his dragon powers. <- Pretty basic and the whole story has been done a million times before. The reason I gave it a score higher then 0 (because that is what I give unoriginal garbage) was because there was so much choice within that story, and they more then compensated for it when it came to the world you were allowed to immerse yourself in. They fixed the DB, the mage guild equivalent didn't suck, the warrior guild was true to the nordish way and the thieves were equally as cool. I felt like the main story was a little lackluster, but the individual town stories were all pretty good. I don't want to spoil them, but every hold/city/village has it's own characteristics and its' own characters... That is why I gave it such a high rating. ( and deducted marks for the main quest sucking..kind of).

Gameplay: 7/10. I loved the gameplay, playing through as a mage (later a spellsword) and I found it challenging and rewarding to beat rooms upon rooms full of minions wearing nothing but flimsy cloth and having a conjured wolf at my side. The combat can feel repetitive at times, with some of the monsters just being recycled over and over again, but what do you expect from an RPG of this scale? (I played at the second highest level of difficulty)

Visuals: 9/10. One of the best looking games I've seen this generation... and not only that, but it consistently looks great. Seeing Alduin for the first time? I shat brix, it was just that epic! The first time I got lost in a blizzard... amazing. I loved the graphics and the scenery.

Replayability: 8.5/10 Very high, they've added a few critical choices that make me want to see both sides of the coin, and it will leave you wondering too! Also, creating different characters in a game like this is always awesome

Normally I give the Beth games a 4-6/10 but this game gets a solid 8.5/10


Also, alchemy sucks... there are soo many potions you don't need it.

Enchanting is OP and so is smithing

Smith a deadric set + sword
Enchant with + damage
?
Win

Literally becomes pointless to be a mage when your 1h sword kills everything in 3 hits max.

Actually, it's very OP, Morrowind-style OP. You can stack alchemy enchants to make +enchanting potions to make +alchemy ecnhants more powerfull, end up with stupid amount of +alchemy, make a very powerful (+9000%) blacksmithing potion, make a 10k mele damage weapon, and 1-shot everything. I'm not into that kind of BS, so I'll get just enough enchanting to secure myself +XXX% mana regen, then I'm done.

I CANT STOP PLAYING FFS ITS SOOO GOOD

Since last Sunday, I haven't logged into sc2 for a single seconds, 100% immersed into Skyrim. When I went to the bar this Friday, I ordered beer in 1L Nord-style mugs. The waitress was like "wtf" and I totally felt like FUS ROH DA in her face for being slow.

Also, I retract my 'alchemy sucks' statement.... here is the process (or so I've read I haven't done this with + alchemy ) Below is ridiculous OP weapon creation.

+ Show +

Get alchemy ... make some + enchanting potions
Enchant your armor with + smithing enchants
Make some + smithing potions
smith all of your armor (especially weapons)
Get weapons that do like 700 weapon damage...


^ Try to tell me that magic isn't a waste of time when you can do that.

yeah, dragon bones and dragon scales are soooo fuking heavy man. I killed 3 dragons already, and I only have a carry weight of 310. Needless to say, all of it goes to my NPC.

Some of the things that I noticed.
NPCs can be quite retarded at times, just standing there not doing anything and getting hacked at by enemies.
I get one shotted a lot I play a Dunmer spellsword. But I love my bow and arrows!
I don't know if it's worth buying a horse, it seems rather slow. Or maybe it's just the one at whiterun. And the worst part is, I lost the freaking horse or maybe it got killed. That's 1k gone.

Actually, i am not sure if your horse can get killed by ennemies. It looks quite tough, and your horse will always attacks ennemies nearby. As i play a mage, it happens quite often that my fireball finish its course into my horse because this dumbass is moving between me and the ice troll.

If you press alt, you can actually rush with your horse, but your NPC cannot follow at that speed.

It could be interesting if everybody put a screenshot of his hero on this thread. I will put mine tonight

The horse can die, I'm not sure if it can be killed by enemies, but if you fall off a ledge on your horse it will die but you won't.

I prefer to steal a horse and just pay the bounty, it's a lot cheaper. Plus sometimes you can steal the horse and nobody sees you.

Anyone knows what those dragon bones and scales are for?:P well I play spellcaster and I don't see how the game will be fun if you made all your weapons do 10000000x infinity damage with that smithing trick and 1 shot everything.. Makes it like rank 1 gm versus last rank bronze every monster you kill eh! Just my 2 cents

Crafting dragonscale armor. Or selling, depends if you need it at all.

It can be, it's just very fat and has stupid HP regen. I had mine killed by 3 necromancers, few icebolt volleys did the job. It is also susceptible to fall damage, few feet high rock will kill it.

You can make your spells mana-free. It's possible to enchant for 100% mana cost reduction in a school of magic. How bout spam 'em "I WIN" firestorms? While one axeman can have 10000 damage, and will have to swing over 9000 times to clear a town, you can walk in, aggro entire town, and probably 2-shot some 120+ mobs it with dual-cast firestorms, all while in "slow time" mode.

Good old TES.

Followers are dumb and useless. After Lydia died, didn't bother to get any. Summons tank just as fine.

Anyone else playing on hardest difficulty having fun trying to make use of every bit of buggy ai/terrain + niche item and ability in order to survive regular dungeons/forts?

Haha it's pretty darn fun I recommend trying it for anyone looking for a challenge! You best have patience though! As a Mage I find enemy mages kill me so fast there's alot of hiding and sprinting around and sending summons at them. My potions also keep running out!

I kinda like how the thieves guild seem genuinely to be massive dicks in this whereas they were made out to be quite honourable in morrowind and oblivion. As such I'm currently looking for options to torch their guild to the ground rather then join it... Just hope there's a quest to do it so I don't feel like I'm disrupting the balance of the game... (if there is no quest will I be able to like in morrowind destroy characters vital to certain other quests? Or will they just get knocked out and get back up or some crap?)

I used to, till I learned Impact and Chain Lightning. Now most encounters are cakewalk. I still get 1-shot with mele weapons and arrows, but with impact, it's almost impossible to get to close to me.

Enemy mages are also easy once you master the art of iceshard dodging. And they are easier to kill overall.

Hardest enemy I've encountered so far was Marakai, I had to actually reduce difficulty level to kill him. Others are fairly straightforward, even dragons, and require 0 to no tactics or intelligence.

I was in a dungeon and saved RIGHT before engagment. Didn't know there were 3 mobs coming my way, they pretty much 1 shot me. Had to run all the way back and fine a little niche where they can't "walk" up, there was this little bit of rock that they just can't seem to climb over. Just had to kill the guy shooting at me, and slowly burn the other 2 to death. lol, a bit of an exploit. =P

Love the game so far.

My character is an assassin, level 39 at the moment with maxed out pickpocketing (stealing weapons and their armor from NPCs are amazing) and nearly maxed out sneak. It's exhilarating and extremely satisfying to sneak up on an enemy and slit his throat with an enchanted dagger for 15 times additional damage (perks)...

That said, as an assassin I do have trouble killing dragons at times. Your sneak abilities are useless against dragons so you have to rely heavily on terrain to dodge ice/fire blasts. Even then, your one handed weapons do mediocre damage to dragons too until you reach the juicy perks in the one-handed skill perk tree.

From time to time, enemy NPCs wonder around in packs so it's difficult to ambush them. But I discovered that you can actually shoot an arrow into a corner and their attention will be diverted to that particular corner, allowing you to sneak up on them and possibly take down one or two before the entire pack detects you.

My only major gripe with this game would be the shadow textures. For some reason, at certain angles the shadow textures are AWFUL for me. I run a GTX 560 TI with latest video drivers, so I highly doubt it's my video card. I hope a patch or a mod will fix this soon :S

in advanced graphics settings theres an option to increase shadow quality if you're playing on ultra i belive shadow quality is set to low or medium.

If you have a decent computer don't just set to ultra and play because the game graphics can be increased a lot more manually

Can make it x30 if you wear gloves with 2x sneak attack damage, bonuses multiply.

Also Gotta love the bows, sneak up and shoot in the head so funny; plus with the zoom at 50% time slow plus a 50% chance for the power of the arrow to make them recoil, one would think that bows are OP

Store your dragon scales and dragon bones, for one. Any items stored in the houses will not disappear and will not get stolen (as opposed to them leaving them randomly outside)

If you love the RP aspect of it, certain houses allow you to show off your weapons, armor and shields with weapon racks, mannequins and shield holders.

Certain houses have their own alchemy lab and enchanting area too.

In your own house, the bookshelves stores your books too in a neat and organised manner.

Houses also can be upgraded by buying them from the Jarl's assistant.

I have seriously played this game way too much. Two solid weeks without playing/watching sc2 has almost made me forget about sc2sea. Nevertheless I have a character who is both mage and thief/assassin and an orc on full tank mode.

Armor quality drops depend on your level. You will start getting ebony and above when you hit 25-ish. Also, you can always craft anything you want, since blacksmiths' vending stock scales with blacksmith skill level. Just need money and patience.

You can always increase your blacksmith level by just making iron daggers, easiest way to increase it.

o.O how do I take screenshots from Skyrim and post them here Frogmite? I'm level 35 with dragonscale armor, smithing 100, sneak 100, I use enchanted soul stealing dual daedric daggers. If I'm undetected I usually 1 hit most monsters (X15 damage perk)

I crafted full set of enchanted daedric armor set for my follower, with daedric swords, daggers, bows for them.

I read from a post at Bethesa's forums that when we max 100 for smithing, enchanting, alchemy, we can actually keep creating potions and armors that keep improving our smithing, and with that we can craft armor and weapons with thousands of damage and armor ratings.

Currently working on that

Yeah with potions, it's possible to make craft/enchant completely OP, but that's fun. For example i enchanted my armor to reduce Destruction spells cost by 100% so can keep casting Blizzard until nothing move around you

Just play anyway you like lols.

If you want super overpowered items and gear best way is to increase your own smithing, enchanting, alchemy levels.

I use this wikia to help me whenever I'm stumped or if I wish for more info on stuff in Skyrim

Dragon Armour is heavy isn't it?

I'm playing on Xbox because my PC can't handle it. Makes archery hard at times.

Currently level 24. Highest skill would be sneaking at 72, then archery at 52. I'm going one-handed, destruction, restoration, conjuration, enchanting and light armour.

Are dragon bones able to be used for anything? I've been keeping them hoping I can use them for something.

Just started this yesterday. Holy hell this is so much better than Oblivion (which is the only previous game of the series I've played at all). This one really makes me want to just keep coming back to it. (and it's nice to play something so much relaxing than sc2 for a change).

I think I try to progress the main quest too fast though. Stupid bloody frost troll is killing me in ~2 hits and I burn all my mana on duel casting (with 28 destruction skill, destruction spells with the 50% mana usage and combining them to be more powerful perks) without even getting it to half health.

Haha BsK. I don't have the time to play the game of the money to buy it. Also, don't really have the inclination. Just thought the calculator would be of interest to other people.

I'll probably grab the Game of the Year Edition down the track so I don't have to worry about DLC at all, and there are decent mods for the UI.

Here's mine at the moment

I'll be investing future perks into enchanting and alchemy, looking to build a master blacksmith/enchanter with self made potions to create those OP gear that gives thousands of attack and thousands of armor

Nah, I'm only 37. I'm looking forward to doing this build. Currently have enchanting, smithing, heavy armor, 1-h and block almost maxed (85+ on each skill). Next for me is alchemy and small utility perks, like archery and some resto. Then it's will be only alteration left, which I'm going to powerlevel through training and grinding probably.

I'm just trying to max out on heavy armour, one-handed, and destruction and restoration.

Wish that left me room to try and enchant some cool armor pieces to give me cheap spells/other magicka buffs.

I just don't know who to side with in this war. The imperials pissed me off at the start, but after getting to know Ulfric better... well he seems like a bit of a d***. Such a hard choice heh.
Loving playing a mage though. Either I or my antroch burn everything to the ground! As long as they attacked me first

Sided with Ulfriic because at least the Stormcloaks didn't decide to behead me for literally no reason. I think it's a flaw of the game that people don't think that part through a bit more, the game starts with you having to decide to join the people who almost behead you or the other guys. How bad could the other guys be? At least they wait until I do something actually worth a beheading like killing chickens.

And I feel I made the right choice siding with Ralof because the first thing he does after we escape from the tutorial place is introduce me to his attractive welcoming viking sister. I think I like this rebellion!

Race: Orc.
Main skills: Smithing. 2 handed weapons. Heavy Armour
Other points of interest. Enchantment? ENCHANTMENT! A dash of restoration too.

I got 100 smithing pretty fast after accidentally discovering how to abuse the system and then figuring "eh, why not?" so now I have some Legendary Dragon Bone Armour. People don't seem to react to it though. I thought it was kinda funny with one quest you have to give some of your equipment to an NPC so he can smuggle it in and give it to you later. He suggested I take stuff that allows me to move silently and kill quickly.

So I gave him half a ton of dragon metal, leather straps and my Greatsword. He didn't seem to comment on this being the most retarded fkucing idea he'd ever heard.

Killing dragons isn't really too interesting which sucks because the sudden introduction of one is pretty cool. You're out and about and suddenly you see a winged shadow whip across the ground. You glance upwards and there it is! It emits a roar and implies true threat and menace! You unsheath your weapon and wait for it to land. This is your destiny, the role of the Dovahkhin!

At which point I flick on Beserker Rage, walk up to it and mash m1 until it dies, not caring about it's attacks or the unblockable fire it breaths. There's no tricks, no particular weaknesses, no multiple stages, no fancy maneuvers, you just walk up to the ****** and break your left mouse button on it's face. Yawn. For the central point of interest for the game, it's a bit underwhelming. And they're bloody easy to kill too! I got so bored of one halfway through it's health bar I put the greatsword away and decided to do this the good ol' fashioned way and I still won really easily.

It's also really weird that there are these giants everywhere who are vastly more dangerous then dragons. Why is everyone afraid of dragons when the Giants could actually conquer everything? I guess the fact that they do not do this on a regular basis may have something to do about it but it still seems inconsistent.

The lack of character creation or any sort of base stat like Strength, Endurance felt really offputting at the start. It feels so weird that my righteous bonehead orc could turn into diabolical mass fireball murderer pretty much instantly. In fact, I do have a hard time feeling really immersed in Skyrim, but it's decent fun so far and I'm enjoying it. I had a lot more fun with some other games this year (portal 2, Bastion and DX:HR to some extent) but this is pretty good.

See I choose Ralof at the start, precisely because he didn't want to chop my head off. But after seeing Winterhold and talking to people there, I found out Ulfric ain't such a great guy himself! Hence my dilemma! Side with the people who you know are jerks up front or the guy you only find out is a jerk after awhile of helping his cause.

The dragon fights are kinda cool but also kinda meh. I have seen fire and ice dragons but apart from aesthetics there isn't much difference. I do like how once you do enough damage they crash into the ground.

Looking forward to some mods for interface though

And yeah I hate how I have quest for join imperials and join rebellion - i'm totally uninterested in both sides :P

Possibly a bug. I've got a bug where i have to find a book for this dude, except the cave I have to get it from has an impassable wall. I can see a hole in the wall, but i can't jump up to it. And clairvoyance just says to walk into a wall. It looks like that it's one of those exit rooms, where you come out after finishing the dungeon, and you can't go back. But i had a look around outside, and I can't see any other entrances.

Level 30 something melee character, 20 something mage and 11 or so Archer.
It's repetitive after with multiple play throughs, I don't have the patience to finish one playthrough without trying each style. Currently I'm leaning towards just finishing it on the melee one, though I did the whole College quest line on the mage that I didn't on the Warrior. Alas, alas.

Google the Skyrim wiki if you hit any bugs. I got a bug in the big Markarth quest and I had to 'cheat' my way through it with the console.

Also, how is Ulfriic a really bad person? The only way I would accept a "he's a bad person" argument from him would be if his pro-Nord manifested itself as a kind of other race hating nationalism. I get a slight undertone of that but not really enough.

You only like him because of his beard.

I'm inclined to see Ulfric as the better of the two evils purely because he seems less of a dictator and more-so race-favoured.
Speaking to people in the city gives you the impression that he isn't accepting of other races as he doesn't openly support non-Nords, but he doesn't massacre them.

And he didn't try to cut off my head.

Nah it's more to do with what the people in the town are saying. Basically that he only protects the Nords from bandit attacks and not all the citizens of his land. Then when I walked into his court and heard the conversation about what their war plans! Both sides sound like they want to destroy my home of Whiterun!

So I feel like I've got to choose between a racist and a dictator. I just wish I could make Jarl Balgruuf the next High King!

Sided with Imperials.

Imperials are tough bureaucratic your-classic-roman-empire guys. They understand something about tactical warfare and don't take any bullshit. Solitude is also clean and good-looking. And face it, young female imperial countess is much more attractive than an ego-powered racist machismo whiner.

Buy a house.

As far as I am aware you have no guarantee that items will still be where you left them, unless they are in your house. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

If you get a follower you can unload a lot of the heavier stuff on them, that's what I did with my housecarl.

Seems -way- to easy to collect lots of useful items without getting enough gold to buy a house, then :/

I assumed places like the chest in my room at winterhold would probably be safe, but just wondering.

I've read many posts of guys seeing your dumped stuff still around in certain areas. In some cases I would agree, randomly dumped/dropped items still seem to stay there after a while. However I've clocked enough in game hours learn this is false, as I've lost all my dragon bones and scales in a chest, which is in the house of my dead follower. I thought they were safe seeing everything still there as I stocked at least 20 dragon bones, scales, ebony ingots and stuff. Then one fine day as I checked in, everything just disappeared.

One way like Maynarde said would be to dump everything with your follower, but if he/she dies you have to collect all the heavy loot from the body
I know we can reload and try not to have our follower die, but in certain fights versus difficult enemies we have saved the game at a point where it is almost impossible for the low levelled follower to survive. (I fought a ice troll (master difficulty) on high hrothgar while I was level 8, my lydia and I died at least 20 times before I found a way to survive it, but no way to let lydia survive)

(Followers' levels scale according to our character's level when we first meet them, but stays there. Hence a follower you met at level 10 would stay level 10 even when you're level 50, and in Skyrim most of the enemies level up as our character levels up as well)

Erasmus there is a way to buy a house without spending any gold, search youtube for it, its doesn't use a console command to cheat, but just exploits a bug in game. It involves pushing the person who sells you the house near a dresser or cupboard. Initiate the conversation to buy a house, confirm the sale, then right before the gold is deducted open the drawer and throw all your gold into it. This lets you buy something without deducting any gold.

My gf chases butterflies with her Khajiit archer. I feel like I'm missing something big in this game.

I dumped all my dragon bone/scale off at a table in Jorrvaskr. Was still there when I got back with 100 smithing.

Do yourself a favour and turn up the difficulty. I started on the default setting (Adept I believe) and it was redunk easy. Cranked it up to master and it's at least sorta challenging now -_-;

I wrote a ''Dealing with Skyrim'' thread before. I'm no longer dealing with Skyrim.. 74 hours play time in the last 2 weeks.

Nord, 100 Smithing - 89 Archery and all that.. haven't finished the main quest yet. It's amazing so far, a step up from Oblivion.

EDIT: Also boys and girls get a house if you want to hoard your items. Or check with one of the TES wikis for safe keeping.

well witcher 1 was fairly successful given what it was
I didn't feel like it was flat or anything just that it didn't have the freedom that skyrim has

Level 20 atm, found a great place to mine Ebony so when my Smithing is high enough (pumping it atm) I will be getting some ebony armour and weapons Shocking mace for left hand, soultrap axe in right hand. Also done a lot of disenchanting so I will be cranking some heavy armour bonuses and +20% to one handed attack on the gauntlets. Southeast of Windhelm I think is where I found the ebony, an Orc stronghold. One run through mining all of the veins and stealing all the ore/ingots lying around I came out with more than 25 ebony ingots! Gonna make me rich.

Super addicted to this game at the moment, which is odd cos I really didn't enjoy oblivion :3

Is it bad to have played 243 hours worth of skyrim? I have like restarted 3-4 times, trying other races and skills. Maybe I should finish the main quests of the game instead of doing random quests.

I was about to post about me wasting my time with 75 hours of skyrim, then I see DtorR with 243 and I fell ashamed. This game is horrendously amazing!
