Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Mabster]

Just another reason to hate WoW then. It wasn't an MMO term 10 years ago, up until WoW release I had played MMORPGs for a long time and beta tested more than a few, by the time WoW came around I was done with them and even declined a closed beta WoW invite.

I thought it was a term before WoW, but WoW is certainly where it gained its huge popularity. Why? I don't know.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I've had two freezes already where I had to completely shut off the ps3 Once when it was loading as I was going back outside from a room, and the other time was at the pause menu.


On another note, how the hell do I clear off a destination I set on my map? It's annoying and I cant figure out how to get it off of there.

Also, on the :side mission" of forging a iron dagger for Algor or whatever his name is...I forged one and gave him the dagger but didn't "complete" the mission. What did I miss?

I'm a Nord, named my guy Sheamus after some thinking...and yes, Sheamus like the WWE wrestler lol

To clear the light blue map marker, hit X anywhere in a blank space on the map. you'll get the option to set new marker, not set, or remove.

I think after you forge the dagger he asks you to make something else, so your "mission" isn't over yet.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I ****ing suck at this game.

I keep dying. Bitches murder me.

Any tips on combat? All I have now is a sword. I literally just started. I'm still a Level 1. I normally just charge at the person and flail at them like a ****** with my sword. That can't be right.

While that's not likely to get you far later on, I found just tapping the attack button works well in the early going. Don't hold it down unless you know that the attack will kill your opponent, and don't try it with more than one enemy engaging you. Your stamina (green bar) will take a big hit when you do powerful attacks, and when it bottoms out your attacks will do far less damage. In Oblivion you could kind of get away with lots of power attacks consecutively, but not in Skyrim.

Also, play to your character's strength - that's good advice no matter what class you are. If you're wearing heavy armor you can probably stay up in melee range and just hack away, but if you're in light or no armor (hopefully at least light if you're wielding a sword) you're going to want to dance in and out of the enemy's attack range so you don't get hurt too badly.

....Oh, and use your shield.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

That helps a lot. I know I've been holding that button down trying for one big killshot instead of tapping it and doing work with lighter attacks.

And other than slowing me down when I run, I didn't know that green bar affected my attack strength.

I'm completely new to this. Didn't play Oblivion.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Is that the joker on the wagon?

Never even got to the DB questline. Will do sometime late Jan/Feb though.

Yeah, that's him. Such a "fun" character.

Hit the invisible chest in Dawnstar for some early loot. For those starting a new game, I believe you can do up to the early quest, "Dragon Rising", and dragons will spawn, letting you roam the land.

This reminds me of the random dungeon I went into, to

Spoiler

clear out some Falmer for one of the Jarls. The dungeon had so many Falmer, and a Dwarven machine(the big guys).

.

I had to turn down my difficulty for that fight

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Ok what's the scoop on the Golden Claw mission? I'm stuck lol...Just a hint without telling me exactly what to do if possible, and of course use the spoiler tag. Thanks for anyone who can help, I'm loving the challenge but don't want to get frustrated if I'm stuck in an area for hours going nowhere lol.

You're about as far as I am.

Did you get to the temple thing at Bleak Falls Barrow yet and go inside? Work your way through that temple thing, eventually you'll have to fight a really big spider. Kill the really big spider, obviously. Then there's a guy trapped in giant spider's web. You'll free him somehow. Chase him down, kill him, take the Golden Claw off his body.

And that's as far as I've gotten. I don't know what happens next.

After you get the Golden Claw, the message is The Key is in your hand, or whatever it is. Go to your inventory, take out the Claw, and there are 3 animals on it. When you get to the door to place the eagle claww in it, there is an inner outerand center circle, you need to activate each circle until the animals match the same pattern that's on the claw.

These stupid puzzles are really far and inbetween. Thankfully there are not many. It just gets in the way of the action.

I kind of like the puzzles. Wish they would incorporate a few more. Nothing overly complex, but a few wouldn't be bad. I think it would work well in the dwarven type ruins.

I would hate just being able to walk through all dungeons without no real thought provoking challenge of some sort. Just got to level 22 with my Argonian thief, not touched the main story yet really, just completed the "Unrelenting Force" shout though. Got full Elven light armor, dual wield Elven sword and dagger and a Glass bow. Not bad.
