I've been watching some playthoughs of Skyrim and I really want to play it. Only problem is that my PC could never run it :(
I saw Oblivion on sale yesterday and I just had to buy it. Since I've never played a Elder Scrolls game I finding it hard to get used to. But I've been playing loads of it and I love it. I seriously want to play the others now, Not just Skyrim. |
I beat Skyrim! Well, the main quest.
The final place, Sovngarde, was pretty hard for me, but Alduin himself was pretty easy with the three companions with you. Anyways, it was really awesome. Off to do side quests and loot dungeons now! :p |
:
Plus a lot of people think it's the best in terms of creativity, atmosphere and blind ambition. It does help if you like beige. |
|
Show me your Dragonborn!
|
Only if you show me yours :tard:
|
Does anyone else find the cities/towns a bit dull? I only seem to fast travel to Whiterun, Riverwood, Riften and a few others, but I almost never go to Windhelm, Morthal, Winterhold or other places. I don't know what it is, but I really don't like most of the larger cities in this game.
|
I've found that the more realistic feel in the game has also taken a lot of the fun out. The cities do seem a bit dull, there isn't as many fun things going on as in Oblivion. The main quest-line is fucking tonnes better. But the freeroam isn't as fun :/
|
Really? I think the free-roaming is one of the most fun things in the game. Anyways, I'm doing a side quest where I have to get the Azura's Star and fuck me this is hard. I'm inside the Star right now and I can't get past the stupid Dremora guys. (Daedras or whatever.) They keep launching those big ass fireballs at me and I die almost instantly...
|
But the reward is incredibly useful. My best friend in Morrowind.
|
But I can't get past the asshole Dremoras! I can beat one (barely), but the other three or two kick my ass every fucking time. And not to mention that you have to defeat a necromancer at the end. (His name was Malyn something...)
|
Anyone else run into the issue of killing a dragon without it giving up its soul? Happened to me twice in a row now.
|
That's not a glitch if you've already killed the dragon. From what I understood, dragons can respawn at certain places, but if you've killed the same dragon once already, it won't give you a soul. It could also be a glitch, but I wouldn't count on that either.
|
Oh, alright. If it is a glitch I'm sure it will be patched, but I've been intentionally avoiding xbox live while playing skyrim because I don't want the easy gold/unlimited oblivion books thing getting patched. Assuming it will. I've made like 50K off of that little trick.
|
Haha, you cheating bastard. Yeah, they're going to release a patch pretty soon fixing all the known bugs.
Also, I just wandered into some orc village and they're all so racist! "Get out Nord, you do not belong here." "Leave outlander! This is our land." :'( |
But I need money to fund my skooma habit.
Well, not really, but it's nice to have a substantial nest egg this early on. |
Yes, money is always nice. A little tip if you want to level up smithing really fast; buy iron ingots and leather strips from everywhere you can and then make iron daggers and later on move on to steel daggers. You'll need quite a bit of cash for it because the materials do cost a lot if you don't have good speech or price-reducing items, but it's worth it if you wanna level up really quick. I did that and my smithing is now 87. Daedric armour, here I come!
|
I wear light armor, so the only reason I'd even think about leveling smithing is so I can make glass gear. But hopefully I'll just loot some or find a merchant carrying it.
...Hopefully. |

I haven't watched this video, but in case they don't suggest it, I really recommend bringing a follower/companion with you to carry more books. |
I think this game should be immersive, and glitches like that ruin the immersion if you use them. For me anyway, I'm not going to tell you how to play.
:
Other than selling vendor-trash loot, my main source of income in Skyrim is selling leather armour made from animals that I hunted myself. I love that I can be a big badass man of the wilds, then come back to civilisation and craft real products with the materials I acquire. Mining, too. I already make all my own gear from raw materials I summon from the very land itself. In this game I can be self-sufficient! There is little that I have to buy, and that is usually just civilisation. I could sleep rough in cleared bandit camps and deserted shacks if I wanted. I can cook now, too. Cooking, skilled trade, can defend my home from dragons. I must be the most desirable lizardman in all of Skyrim. |
I am at an impasse, not sure if I should marry Lydia or Brelyna.
|
I accidentally shouted Lydia off the side of a mountain. I felt bad at first, but watching the ragdoll physics at work as she tumbled to the bottom made me chuckle.
|
I would be infuriated if that ever happened, as she is my pack mule of dragon bones/scales and those infinity books.
|
:
EDIT: I'm doing an awesome side quest called The Forsworn Conspiracy. The awkward moment when you end up into a prison filled with forsworn who hate nords when you're a nord. |
|
Giants are getting easy for me now. Arrows from a vantage point. Sneak attacks help.
They're great for leveling up, and they have so much stuff. Though I'm starting to feel bad at the extermination. They aren't just vicious monsters, they're intelligent, sapient farmers whom I kill for their toes. I am a monster. |
A guy went to Morrowind. Modders, assemble!
|
Today I finally fought my first lich and it completely obliterated me. It was barely a fight. Although it didn't exactly help that right before meeting the lich, I got the shit beaten out of me by a Draugr Overlord. I'm starting to think that maybe using one-handed weapons and restoration is a bad idea since I'm not able to block.
