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.

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, 12:34 PM

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

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.

Bill86 · 11-19-2011, 03:36 PM

Revelations is out ?!?! Crap I must have it!

emopunker2004 · 11-19-2011, 03:47 PM

heads up. turtle beach x31 on woot.com for $49

I bought one, all Frank(Drez)'s fault!

yachties23 · 11-19-2011, 10:20 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.

Doesn't release until November 29, 2011 at 12:00 AM (US/Pacific) for PC

Jbailey · 11-20-2011, 11:10 AM

Had a few friends pick up a 360 recently so I have been playing boarderlands with them and got back into Halo. Nothing to new yet except Gears 3(horde mode is fun as hell).

LAME!

Anyone play Saints Row the Third yet?

Also has anyone found a way to have multiple characters in Skyrim? I just hit 37 and I feel like playing a sneaky Khajit with a bow and dagger.

I wish, I played the crap out of SR2. I haven't had a spare moment to play much lately between getting married in Sept and 60+ hr work weeks. When they announce HL episode III I have to buy a copy of portal 2 and replay episode II just to get caught up on the plot line.

Bill86 · 11-20-2011, 10:15 PM

Almost forgot about HL Ep III, it's been how long?

P.S nice look revolver in your avatar

backwoods357 · 11-21-2011, 12:39 AM

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/80038-55.html It's the next gun purchase on my radar.
I have a similar but blued Colt Python that my mom keeps as a self defense gun. I started using backwoods as my handle long before I became aware of the backwoods line of cigars, I should probably change it to avoid confusion (I'm just a guy that likes to shoot crap out in the woods, I don't smoke 'em). I digress.

Did anyone notice much in the way of tie-ins with the HL storyline in Portal 2? (Don't tell me specifics, I haven't played it yet.)

Yep, been playing it, but I haven't been able to devote much time to it. I am about 19% completed on the story line. Still lost of side missions. The clothes and character options are awesome, some of the stuff you can do in this game is so over the top, but somehow it just works. Like you can just walk down the street and start dancing with someone or you can do a wresting move on them. The driving I feel is better this time around, and I love jumping off a building and throwing my parachute.....now that's fun.

They also added in a new voice this time.......ZOMBIE! I haven't tried it yet, but I am thinking about going to the plastic surgery and having it done heh.

Xplay gave this game a 5 out of 5. I am hoping it keeps me busy until Mass Effect 3

irratebass · 11-21-2011, 05:19 AM

My new Game Informer came in, RAINBOW SIX is back!!!!!!!!! Called Patriots, unfortunately it won't be out till 2013

Bill86 · 11-21-2011, 05:25 AM

Interesting I'll look into it sometime this week.

Started a new character in Skyrim level 13 Khajit, sneak + bows is insanely overpowering.

Thing is, with light armor you sorta need sneak + ranged.

It gets a little tricky when you agro more than one at a time and can't one-shot them. Then there's the 'uh oh...here they come' moments.

I keep wanting to start a mage focused toon but I just can't see going through all of this more than once.

Apoco · 11-21-2011, 11:58 AM

I hit level 42 over the weekend. I still haven't touched the main quest line since about level 15

Been working on assassin/thief guilds and their quest lines - along with the random tasks provided by people around town.

I played all weekend on my computer's gaming monitor along with watching MLG SC2 tournament on my TV. Damn it feels good to be a geek-ster

Yeah I'm working on one handed now. We'll see how it goes. So far I'm good with just ranged.
