Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I joined the Dark Brotherhood last night so that I could do the quest needed to marry Muiri (she's best looking I think lol). I completed her contract but it was late so I haven't made it back to her to get my payment. I was going to go back and continue some more Thieves Guild quests, but the assassination contracts seem pretty fun too.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I started the Thieves Guild and Brotherhood stuff last night. Riftken is a bad influence on me. All around Whiterun I was pretty nice, though often times indifferent. Stepping foot in Riftken has turned me into a egomanical, arrogant badass. The introductory Thieves Guild mission was pretty cool.

It felt good breaking that guy's vase. Bitch, don't tell me I won't take action and then get surprised when I **** your **** up. I loved how horrified he was while I was hitting the hell out of it. Good times.

As for the Dark Brotherhood...I had inspected the orphanage earlier in the day and overhead the headmistress being a complete bitch to the kids, so I figured I would do them a favor. I returned that night to find the children sleeping and her stirring a pot at the fireplace in the same room as the children. Sneak attack. 15x damage with the dagger. Unfortunately, the kids started waking up so I had to split out of there really quick. I have probably messed them up for life.

It gets kind of comical as

the assistant in the orphanage, the nice lady, stays in a perpetual state of fear the rest of the game. She just runs around inside the building.

That and you should of stayed to hear the kids, I won't spoil it, but it's worth it. You can probably head back and listen to them.

I thought they were going to rat me out so I split.

yeah I hung around and listened to them after I did the deed. The kid that started it all was pretty funny too. Does he pop back up later on?

You can

go talk to him at his house afterwards, but I'm guessing he stays there the rest of the game, hunched over the skeleton.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I've played about a total of 110 hours and I'm not even close to beating it. I think I'm going to put it down for a few weeks (play some WWE 12) and pick it back up soon.

My wife will be happy.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

How many wives can you have? I got my first house and it's kind of empty.

One. You can't even get remarried if your first spouse dies. I'd like there to be more marriage options, preferably a certain female bard in Solitude

There is one for Lydia.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I mean this with all my heart: **** BLOOD DRAGONS.

Why the game would chuck one of those at me when I'm only a level 8, I have no idea. I literally did no damage to it. None. Despite a constant stream of Frostbite headed it's way.

So I took my death, instantly said "**** the mission I'm going to" and picked a different one. I am not running into that ****er again.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

LMAO, yeah you definitely should level up 1st a bit before you get too far into taking on dragons and doing missions. Because I been to one part of the forest and ran across this chick that killed me with a flick of her hand. Her magic level was off the charts.

And in another cave came across this mage that had the power to make your weapon disappear FOREVER.

I swear once you think you big and bad, you always seem to make a wrong turn and come across somebody that will quickly humble you and put you in your place.

Anyway I switched it up a bit and now running with 2 swords in my hands like a ninja. I might eventually replace it with 2 axes. I am a weapon junkie and can't seem to make up my mind, since all of them seem to have some very cool kill animations associated with it.

Any PS3 users getting a ton of freezing

Tonight.....3 times while a save is loading. Wow. I only have 2 saves after deleting a bunch to see if that helps.

I am just over 100 hours.

On the 360, mainly due to having more friends on the console. Haven't really been a PC gamer since Jedi Academy.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Man, I really have no idea what I'm doing. I pick a quest from the menu, don't really know what the hell it's about (last one was about Daedra and a soul gem of blackness or something?), follow the arrow on the map, kill some guys, follow the arrow, and then I get money.

Is that it? Maybe I just don't know the world, but it seems lacking. I think this is why I got fed up with Oblivion.

I also thought that bodies and dropped loot stay forever. I killed some guy in the pub in Whiterun, and another, ran back to my Champions hall with guards on my tail, they started a huge brawl with five deaths, and then I put the bodies on that big fire pit in the middle of the hall. Save, and then when I restart later, they are gone! The bodies in the pub, too!
