Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The real name of the quest is different, of course, but I just finished a quest I like to call CSI: Skyrim.

Idk what I'm doing, where I'm going, or what anything means. But it is fun.

Just created a new character - a Nord. I feel like the story really serves Nord characters well from a role playing perspective.

I came across one of the soldiers who sound like Ah-nold and he said one of the best/approriate lines ever:

"I'm not a man, I'm a weapon in human form. Just unsheathe me and point me at to the enemy."

Yeah me too. Fits in nicely...

I heard that yesterday as well. I was cracking up.

For anyone's who's done the companions guild quest(or gotten far enough, you'd know what I mean).

What do you think of being a werewolf? It seemed cool at first, but beast mode seems to have too many cons for it too be of any regular use. You can't use any menu's, can't loot, and have no control over when it ends. Not to mention everything attacks you on sight(except for frost wovles).

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Question guys: The game itself loads up fine, but when I click to start a new game and select yes. The game shuts down. What should I do?

Maybe a vid card problem? What are your specs?

I liked that one too. After I heard it I was like, "Damn straight!"

[TheShizNo1]

Do I have to keep going to the little menu to switch between my weapon and magic? There's no shortcut button?

Press Y to put whatever you want into the favorites menu, then press up on the d-pad to select from the favorites.

Markarth? The one that involves a string of murders? If yes, that one was FUN.

After exploring more and increasingly getting my *** kicked by mages and guards and bandits in the western portion of Skyrim, I have decided to finally head into Whiterun and get some main quests going. I've racked up tons of side-quests and haven't run into any dragons so I think it's time to live up to some Dragonborn legend. Geez, this place is huge!

Plus, I need a house.

Ran into first quest bug, "Trouble in Skyrim", gotten from the Companions, registered as completed before I could turn it in costing me the reward gold.

Also I ran into hired thugs and

I was able to run them through, and gain a fair bit of loot in the process. I found the contract and it said it was from Gerda for being a thief. Gerda? Who the **** is Gerda? Oh well, I'll go sell some of this magic loot so I pop into Dragonsreach and who do I see standing there to greet me? The maid....Gerda. I guess I wasn't quite as sly as I thought while I was stuffing my pockets with anything of value. She didn't say a word about it though.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

On a side note, has anyone else cranked the music up to max in the audio settings? It's unreal.

First thing I did 5 minutes in - it's unbelievably well-done!!!!

Peaceful at times, and daring at other times...after DAYS of playing this game I haven't once said to myself, "This soundtrack is getting old"

...it's perfectly well-composed!

Start again from an earlier point (if you can) and give the girl the note for him, lying. You will eventually get him as a companion and you can train anytime you'd like throughout the game. It's a win win situation and your archery will go through the roof really fast.

Spoiler

Yeah, in a lot of other games I'd do that, but I've done SO many little things here and there and have no idea how long ago in my story it happened. I checked back to the last previous visit to the town, but he was dead then, so it's just not worth it to me to backtrack almost all the way back.

No worries for me though. They'll be other trainers later and archery isn't a primary skill of mine or anything anyway. I've just chalked it up to Skyrim being an unstable place and that dude just got got

For the bounty hunters thing:

I'm not sure if it's a bug or by design (weird choice if by design though) but if you steal from certain people or places it is known whether someone actually sees you do it or not. You'll get no bounty or crime, just the thugs after you. They'll be no mention of it after the fact though and it doesn't seem to affect any other interactions.

The same happened to me (with the first innkeeper in my case). I got my *** handed to me several times (I was only like level 2 or 3 when it happened) before getting lucky going crazy with fire spells. Nice loot as a reward though.
