Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

This. One-shotting a guard with your bow while hidden and staying hidden is a total rush.

On vacation next week and the house to myself for most of the day during that time. Major playing time coming my way...

Well, forget that plan. Somebody smashed a window on my house and stole my xbox with Skyrim in the console and my ipad. Nothing else. Had kinect hooked up, a stack of xbox games and a Wii right there too. Totally pissed.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Is it me or is there a significant decrease in enemy types in this game? I havent noticed a major variety in enemies.

I feel angry for having to turn off the game to watch Michigan/Nebraska.

That, my friends, is an addiction.

Yup. I just finished a final exam. Was excited to rush home and play more, but gotta watch my Wolverines.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Things like this are why I love Skyrim...

Spoiler

Heading towards Iverstead minding my own when I encounter a troll...he of course takes off after me and instead of taking it on (my health was already dwindled from encounters with a bear and sabre cat respectively) I haul towards Iverstead and he follows me.

As soon as we reach the town's edge, one of the townspeople notices the troll and takes a shot at it with an arrow. Well soon enough a handful more of the townsfolk rush in and start flinging arrows at it, killing it.

It's not like they were trying to save me, they felt a threat to their city and acting accordingly...just like real people would....it was awesome

I also love how things are completely random, as in what you'll encounter if you go through the same area twice, at different times, etc.

This game just is beyond belief...

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I like having the markers turned off for quests. Especially the MISC ones. Just the thought of randomly stumbling across a place I know I have to hit up is awesome.

Also encountered my first cave of trolls this morning (I haven't got to play nearly as much as I'd like) and, yeah, tough bastards.

I had to turn it off to watch the Bama game, so I feel your pain.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I read about you guys taking out dragons and giants, and here I am struggling w/ horses and ice trolls.

I've only ever seen one ice troll, but they give you a serviceable fire spell from the beginning, so I hit him with fire, few whacks from sword (I'm majorly a 2 hand fighter, but I have a one hand weapon for backup and when using a torch), then fire and it went down.

On the regular game front, I joined the thieves guild and trained pickpocket, also hit 70 in heavy armor and am now using 75 out of 580 carry weight. Bring on the enchanted equipment laden dungeons.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I know in Oblivion your maximum carry weight was based off of your strength...probably something similar in Skyrim. The more strength you had, the more you could carry.

Edit: Encumbrance equaled 5 times your strength in Oblivion.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So apparently 5 bounty is enough to get the entire town of Falkreath to attack you. Broke into someone's home and when I leave there's about 8 guards outside ready to kill me.

Not 5 seconds later does a dragon land in the middle of the city. The guards don't even aggro to it so now I've got 8 guys with swords and bows shooting me plus a dragon breathing fire.

I just ran out of the town. Hope that dragon burns it to the ground.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Making my way over to the College of Winterhold finally, I tend to peer off the roads a lot going into different dungeons,etc.

Found a wispmother thing just chilling there, get killed a few times finally figure how to avoid all her ice bolts and have a crazy 5 minute duel with her ice and my firebolts. Got really nothing from that battle.

Continue up the road, get eaten by a sabre cat. Talk about an interesting trip lol.

I've yet to really see any random dragons, I had one from the main quest in beginning and one that I got from a bounty in a town.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

+100 steed stone
+ 50 enchanted boots
+ 30 stamina upgrades (you get 5 carry weight when you level up stamina)

I had an interesting encounter, I was in Riften or maybe Solitude at night and hear someone yell something then draw a sword, as I turn to see what's up I get nailed by an arrow so I draw my sword thinking I was about to crack some skulls. When I finally get turned I see half the town guard pelting some fool with arrows, needless to say he goes down quick and the guards walk away. I go over to the poor dead fool and check his corpse and he had a bunch of random household items, I guess he was a thief. Good news for me, he had a flawless diamond on him which I helped myself to.
