Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So I just picked this up for PC, and yea I wish I had more time to play it. Only level 5 right now but it's all good. Had to order the guide off amazon cause I seen it for $10.

Almost level 16....pure mage is nearly impossible. It's so painful. I'm still convinced it can be done though.

I did the entire Thieves Guild line last night.

My depth perception is hosed.

Heading off to Pops Havana House East in Fishkill to smoke some yummy.

Yeah the thieves guild stuff was pretty easy, just a bit time consuming. How amazing is this game? Only issue for me is everytime I try and finish a quest, somebody redirects me to something new....

Yeah I leveled my sneak up way high and now my level is up too high and has out paced my equipment... OOPS, oh well, time to find areas to lvl up easier.

[madwilliamflint]

heh. finished the Thieves Guild quest, slept in my bed in Riften for probably the first time and found myself in an abandoned shack

I know what I'm doing tonight.

*fetches the caffeine and pizza*

Nice to see this thread here! I don't know what possessed me to buy this game....well actually it was probably reddit, they love the game....but in any case I'm very glad I did. I am not a big gamer, especially RPG's, but I wanted to get a new game and this one was calling my name. I haven't played any of the other Elder Scrolls games, to compare, but I really love this game. Got it after the first of the year, believe I'm at level 8-9 now, and really love playing it. To give a point of reference, the last game I played with any frequency was TF2

I lost Lydia. I'm not sure when, or where, but she was slutty anyway.

Yeah...about Lydia...I kinda accidently shot her in the face. She crossed my path just as I shot and down she went.

Oh well.

Didn't know what to do with myself today (SOPA/PIPA blackout)

Glad to see some other gamers on this forum. I have had a lot of fun with this game, but actualy it has been best to give to my fiance and let her play for hours so I can go to my computer and play all the other games I want without her bugging me that I don't spend any time with her.

[Bill86]

I really need to reinstall this game, any patches out yet?

As far as the other Elder Scrolls games, they advance a great deal with each new game. You picked a good time to jump in, Skyrim is SO much better than Oblivion.

[J0eybb]

There has been a few patches.

Do they fix the glitches? Like double Frost Spike or whatever makes a dead dragon fly 500 yards.

I'm about to install it and check it out. We'll see.

I've been playing Skyrim on my PS3 since Christmas. This is my first RPG (I usually play FPS') and I'm really impressed. Gotta like the unbound environment! I've already completed the main quest line, College of Winterhold, Dark Brotherhood, Companion and most of the Thieves Guild (I don't want to give up my skeleton key yet ) I guess I'll have to pick a side in the civil war now. My save file is over 11MB and am starting to have frame rate issues. I hope they patch it soon. Besides that, solid game!

First RPG!?! Boy are you spoiled :-) I liked Imperial for the civil war. Ulfric's a racist ass.

See I never used the Skeleton Key.

I dumped my MMOs last weekend and went back to skyrim to start a pure mage. it's.. TOUGH, but fun . I'm still not sure why I shouldn't be using heavy armor as a mage, once I can enchant it with all those juicy robe enchantments and all.

I was leaning toward the Storm Cloaks until I started down that line and realized Ulfric's an a-hole. Definitely reconsidering now.

I'm playing as a Nord right now. Going the pure mage route sounds fun for a second go around.

[madwilliamflint]

I was tempted to make the second roll a full heavy armor 2-hander. But I realized that with my primary at L54, I can just do that on the original toon.

I've tended towards Imperials. Just like the look of 'em the most. I figure on the pure mage the trick is going to be Conjuration/Alchemy/Enchanting. Some of those Conj perks look juicy.

[Bill86]

I got a pure mage at level 17....it's rough. You run out of magicka VERY quickly.

I'll make a heavy armor two hander next for sure. Still rolling with the Khajit at level 53. Sneak and bow is easily the best combo in Skyrim. I planned for back up daggers but never used them. Most everything is quickly dispatched with the bow. Dragons take maybe 6-8 arrows. Should be able to cut that in half by level 60-65.

See that's cool. I do an awful lot of one-shot dagger kills. With the 2x backstab gloves that makes for a 30x backstab with daggers, which is phenomenal. Now that I've got enchant at 100 and the dual-enchant perk I've got a pair of Daedrics, one with health stealing and fire, and the other with soul trapping and frost. If you can get close, it's devestating.

I noodled around with 2h a bit and man do you blow through stamina fast. It's crazy.
