Where do you get that quantity of raw materials? I end up with 2 bits of iron before a node is exhausted.

Bill86 · 11-15-2011, 03:09 PM

I've never even seen the nodes.

Buy them, Iron ingots and leather scraps, they are cheap. You can pound like 15 levels for 1000 gold. Although it gets MUCH harder at 75+ you need a lot more but it is still very easy.

Mehrunes razor quest gives you 2400 gold, Mehrunes razor and 4 daedric hearts.

Excellent quest rewards.

Oblivion GOTY edition is $5 on steam.

You are losing money by NOT buying it at this price! GET IT (if you don't already have it)!

Bill86 · 11-16-2011, 02:25 AM

Ending the day at level 28. If it weren't for the bugs/glitches....this is about as close to a perfect game as I've seen in YEARS.

madwilliamflint · 11-16-2011, 07:29 AM

Yep. Menu behaves a little funny and about once every 4 hours I get a CTD. Hit Archmage last night. It was neat but I haven't found anything interesting to do at the mage's college once I topped out. (unless of course getting to archmage isn't tapping out and I haven't realized it yet.)

I've been crashing about every 5 hours of game play :/. It is usually right after I zone - so it autosaves anyway. Could be worse

Yeah I'm one quest away from archmage. Pretty awesome quest lines.

Same here. No idea why, oh well.

madwilliamflint · 11-16-2011, 08:43 AM

Biggest problem I have with it (because if I didn't come up with SOMEthing I'd be honor bound to have the skyrim symbol tattooed on my friggin head at this point) is that you HAVE to scroll the menus to get the right selection in to context. You can't just click the thing you want.

That and the fact that there's no category sorting of containers.

madwilliamflint · 11-16-2011, 11:40 AM

I need to pick another guild to run though. Haven't been able to pick. Seems like Riften is the thieves guild city. I went a fair bit through Companions but... I stopped at what will be an obvious point to people who've done that line.

Not sure what else there is.

Still not committing to Imperial or stormwhatchamacallits.

Bill86 · 11-16-2011, 11:41 AM

Yeah after I finish the last two mage quests I'll need to do the same.

Is there an arena in this game or no?

Haven't seen it but there's gotta be. I've explored what seems like nothing so far. Spent a lot of time heading Northeast, found some neat stuff. I might head back to the main questline or knock off some of these misc quests I've been accumulating.

Yeah that's what I am doing today just the miscellaneous quests. I would love to find an arena though

Bill86 · 11-16-2011, 03:45 PM

Just hit level 30. Some of the bonuses higher in the trees are just amazing. I just snagged conditioning and matching armor. I run at full speed in full daedric now with matching armor gave me a nice +100 armor rating.

Damn, you're cruising through this. I'm paralyzed by fear of gimping myself by putting points in stuff that would be fun, but get me killed later on (i.e. enchanting/smithing.)

I am about to hit stealth100 though. 90+ is insane. Though ice bears/snow wolves have a seemingly supernatural ability to sniff me out....then eat me.

Apoco · 11-17-2011, 11:03 AM

I haven't gotten to play in the last couple of days. I keep thinking about it, though

I believe that I have maxed out pick pocket and stealth and Kaldo is level 37ish. Archery is ~70 and smithing is about the same.

Yeah I took the advice about iron daggers. It levels smithing almost every time at my current level.

Bill86 · 11-17-2011, 11:34 AM

Ended yesterday at 33. Leveling enchanting now, tossed soul trap on my Daedric Sword and I've got 25 soul gems now. I just tossed the iron daggers on the floor so I can use them later. Something like 200-250 daggers on the ground.

Just enchant them and sell them

VirtualSmitty · 11-19-2011, 10:57 AM

I have been able to break away from Skyrim and enjoy AC Revelations. It's very good, there is a ton of content packed in there.

yachties23 · 11-19-2011, 09:20 PM

When I saw you on the other day I decided to pick it up, and I put skyrim on hold. Picks up right where we left off, and I'm loving it thus far.
