Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I read this in the morning...so before I left for the day I turned on the PS3 with Skyrim....I was not prompted for a patch.

Hope I do when I play tonight.

Any PS3 users able to DL this

I didn't get prompted for the patch either.

I think LambertandHam jumped the gun a little bit. The patch has only been released for Xbox.

There's no word on when it will spread to the beleaguered PS3 version.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

While not familiar with the patching process on the PS3, it seems like it's like only available for EU PS3 users now, and not US yet. That's weird.

Nice link. This happened with the first patch too I think. Released in the UK few hours before US. PSN has been on maintenance this morning too which might have something to do with the delay.

Meant to say PS3 in that quote. Hopefully you guys get the patch soon.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I'm literally sitting here in the Thieves' Guild's training room while this other elf is practicing with his bow collecting all of his elven arrows. I'm addicted.

I'm up to over 110 or so now.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

How do you upgrade enchanting quickly? Any tips?

Petty soul gems and some small smithed items like iron daggers or leather bracers. That's what I did. I'm stuck on 61 at the moment though.

I'm going to do that real soon. I was waiting till I found a Daedric arrow so I could do the reverse pickpocket trick. Found a merchant today selling exactly one arrow, that's all I needed.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

My arrow count as of tonight (I'm still hoarding everything I find):

Ancient Nord Arrows - 124
Dwarven Arrows - 390
Elven Arrows - 147
Forsworn Arrows - 159
Iron Arrows - 727
Orcish Arrows - 430
Steel Arrows - 415

Total Arrows - 2,392

My archery skill level is at 66 with perks to do 80% more damage, and a 15% chance of a critical hit that does 25% more damage, plus the sneak perk that makes sneak attacks with bows three times the damage....plus the Gauntlets of the Old Gods (bows do 20% more damage) and the Elven Helmet of Major Archery (bows do 25% more damage) equipped.

It's pretty damn fun.

I'll play!

Ancient Nord Arrows - 272
Daedric Arrows - 1
Dwarven Arrows - 132
Ebony Arrows - 12
Elven Arrows - 123
Glass Arrows - 32
Iron Arrows - 576
Orcish Arrows - 252
Steel Arrows - 802

Total - 2202

Long ago I stopped collecting any arrows that are less damage then steel since I pickpocket every single guard I see and take their steel arrows I figured I would never run out of those.

At level 41 my archery is at 70. Overdraw at 4 so +80% damage, I've got Eagle Eye (zoom), Power Shot (staggers the mob), Quick Shot (faster draw) and one in Steady Hand (slows time). Also have the sneak damage bonus and I'm wearing a mask that adds 20% to archery. My next plan is to invest in the critical hit perk.

I thought about doing that, but I downloaded a mod that lets me craft arrows instead.

As for arrow count, I lose.

200 Dragonbone arrows in my inventory.

[Candyman5]

Yeah I was surprised that they never included any arrow smithing or dragon weapon smithing.

At the least had a perk under archery to make arrows.


Sent from me, duh.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So does the 1.3 patch fix the save corruption/crash issue?

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So I am finishing some College radient quests tonight. I am the Arch Mage and it feels goooood.

I finished up the Wolf Queen. I rally enjoyed that quest line.

Jazarki is now my companion from the College. BTW having the Arch Mage quarters is bad ***. So who needs the home in Solitude when you have that wing of the college? But...I guess if you have gold to burn I can understand.

Tonight I will get in a good 4-5 hour session. I hope the patch for PS3 drops. The freezing issue is a bummer as it has happened to me 10 times now. Fortunatly I save often.

This game has taken over my video gaming life. I do mange to play one game of 2K11 or Madden......but this is just getting crazy.

Like for example. When i am adventuring and I travel a great distance....and it's getting late at night and snowing....I will stop at the first Inn I can find....and hang out and talk to locals and poof I pick up more Misc quests. It's like living an alternative life!

Truly an extrodinary game. And I have still yet to visit Riften (next destination on the main quest line) or go to the far east and south. So much left to discover, explore and conquer.

And this is my first playthrough!

The key to this game IMO is to play it at a good measured pace, level up naturally and take it all in. I am going to finish all the guild quests before I finish the main quest line.
