Pssh...spiders. Turns out they don't like being punched in the face.

My unarmed Khajit is laying waste to all that oppose him. I'm about to go out and see if I can punch some mammoths and giants to death.

Pack a parachute just in case the Giant gets the first hit in...

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I'm constantly forgetting to use my racial power and my shouts. Anyone else have this problem? I'll die a few times in a row and then realize, "Oh yeah, I can use battle cry."

I almost forget about all my other shouts other than:

Unrelenting Force is still my favorite. Something about pushing enemies off a bridge or hill without fighting is so satisfying.

A close 2nd is one that you obtain going up to the Throat of the World.

Clear Sky. Something about changing the weather on my command makes me feel like a champ.

I need to clean up the favorites menu. I seem to have everything in there.

I use the fire breath one a fair bit. Seems to work well against Ice dragons and trolls etc and usually stuns the enemy enough for me to run in and cleave them in two with my axe....

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I've been trained over the years to do all of my side-questing immediately as some major event in the main storyline will undoubtedly close off some of the side-quest opportunities, I think that is actually not the case in the game, but I found myself doing the same thing, and...

I am on level 27 or 28 and I finally met the Greybeards. Never knew Shouts had three levels! Do you have to learn the second/third word and use a dragon soul to get the the second/third level of the shout? Or just one word plus extra souls?

You steal one piece of gold and the whole damn world of skyrim wants you dead. I ended up killing one guy who works at the end and jacked him of his ****, he had some good **** lol.

Words of power spoilers. No specifics just answering a question to obtaining words.

You gain extra words to your shouts the same way you get the original shout. Throughout Skyrim the walls with the dragon shouts will either be a new shout or another word for your shout.

I have 3 kids and a wife. I've spent 35 hours playing Skyrim over the past two weeks and every minute of that playtime had to occur after the wife and kids are sleeping. I've been going to work on 3 and 4 hours of sleep and I don't regret a minute of it.

you are not alone. I literally stopped playing 5mins ago...

I thought that was the case, thanks for confirming. I've been kind of disappointed with the shouts so far, but this leads me to believe they will be more interesting as the game progresses.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I had a skyforge two-handed sword given to me after a quest and I smithed it up to a 70 damage. Then during another quest I was disarmed by a boss and noticed later on the damage had gone down to 53. It stayed flawless, but lost damage. So I experimented and dropped another weapon and saw when I picked it up it lost damage too.

Is this a glitch or just something in the game that punishes you for dropping item? That two handed sword was my best to date and I was planning on enchanting it, but now it's not my best and I sold it.

I keep forgetting to switch my amulets. I have one that makes prices at store 10% cheaper, and another than improved blacksmithing by 20%. There have been several occasions where I have bought or smithed many items then later in the game looked at my inventory and saw I didn't use them.

On the contrary, I have put on one of the amulets and forgotten to take them off. Just last night I noticed about 1 hour in that I was wearing my smithing amulet when I normally wear one that adds 30 health points.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

A few questions for you guys:

1. Lesser Ward - When I use it, do I hold it down the whole time? It looks like it creates a shield.

2. I picked up an Animal Allegiance shout - How does it work? I tried and and no animal showed up. Do I need to target an animal? Have one in the area?

I believe Lesser Ward is a spell that only holds as long as you are holding the cast.
For a better protection spell try and find the Oak or Stone Shield spells....big magicka hit...but it works great...
