Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Is this game better than Fallout 3? I saw my friend play this at his house and it looked sort of boring.. he just ran in circles with his magic and caught people on fire

When you think about it pretty much every game you see a person play before playing it yourself looks boring. It's just what you're interested in.

But if you liked Fallout 3, chances are you'll like Skyrim. While I sadly haven't gotten it yet, I've played it at a friends house and I couldn't believe how many improvements Bethesda made over their engine and the way they handle everything in the game. Fallout 4 (they're probably making that now) is going to be quite a treat if they can execute it as well as this.

I am no where near an expert lock picker so should I not even bother or perhaps you can get lucky?

Fallout 4 is New Vegas isnt it? He played that to and it looked not near as good as Fallout 3

I might just wait for the GOTY edition and buy that

Honestly just rent it and try it that way. However be prepared to sink lots and lots of hours into it if ya like it. Just be sure to play a few hours and experiment before you say you ont lke it.

I hate when I go into a big room, and there's nothing to find. Wish there was treasures around each corner.

Not really, New Vegas is New Vegas and was developed by Obsidian not Bethesda.

Bethesda will probably do Fallout 4.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I was about 32 hours in and restarted as an archer. I was a spellsword. It was fun but...I was starting to grow tired. Now I'm about 18 hours in with my archer/sneak/conjuration/pickpocket character and I'm having way more fun with this guy.

I had to join the College Of Winterhold to gain be able to finish another quest I had open. It's fine, but it peeved me a little for the fact that my character wouldn't join that college. It's just weird they would give you NO OTHER OPTION to be able to complete the quest.

I know the one you're talking about and that made me mad as well. My character was also the type that was not a fan of magic but I was forced to join up just to finish the quest. Yeah, still kind of upset about that a week later.

81, to be specific, but it'd take a good long time to get there without cheating. Proper planning, training higher level skills, never leveling without training and grinding lower level skills, you can cut down that time fairly significantly.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I just made a new character. Made a 2 handed/ heavy armor Orc. Going to play the Stormcloaks side with him. He is one pissed off Orc that holds a grudge against the Imperials that tried to kill him.

Having fun with this build so far, up to level 7. Just starting the Stormcloak questline. But keep getting sidetracked lol.

That's what i need to a better job of this next play through. I have started a pure mage / evil dude and having a blast so far. It sure is way harder than my first character was (2 handed heavy armour nord) so far but I'm enjoying the challenge.

Quick question regarding the thieves guild:

Spoiler

how do i get them to come and ask me to join? Last time I was playing as a 'good' guy and they came up pretty quickly when I went to Riften but this time I am there and evil as can be and can't seem to get them to ask me to join?
