Hooray for being a homeowner!

I bought that little house in Whiterun. Stocked it full of all the decorations. Actually looks pretty nice when you do that.

And now Camilla from the shop in Riverwood and I can live happily ever after.

What all did you do to level up your Smithing? My level is pretty low but sometimes I bring a weapon back to smith it then sale it because I have no real use for it. Is that what you do to level it up? Just keep smithing weapons over and over? I'd like to get my smithing higher so I can upgrade my weapons more, I can just do non-magic weapons to fine.

I basically spent a few days just fast-traveling between the major cities (Riften/Whiterun/Morthal for me) and I'd buy all of the blacksmith's leather/leather-strips and then just create as many leather helmets/braces as I could, sell them back to the smith, travel to the next city, rinse and repeat.

Also, in Riften there's a spot downstairs in the blacksmith's where you can steal some Iron/Steel ingots and use those to make iron daggers and then improve them, etc.

It's "cheating/boosting," in a sense, but I wanted to be able to make any armor I could.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Back to In My Time of Need, since I just bothered to finish it:

Spoiler

I double crossed those sons of bitches. Told them I'd bring them Saadia. Told her to meet me at the Whiterun Stables, where the leader of the Alik'r was expecting me. I essentially ran there, beating her by just a bit, and then murdered the guy that was waiting for me.

She was pissed that I lied to her, but still forked over her reward (500 gold!).

That worked out really well.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

All you have to do is make iron daggers over and over again. Sale it, buy some more iron and straps, repeat the process. You can go 20 level to 72 level in 5 minutes. Once you hit 72, it takes a little bit longer to get to 100, but you can get there in a couple of hours without even leaving the forge. Just skip the day head and the store keepers always get restocked.

Anyway.....Dwarven armor just looks AWESOME. I look like a golden Roman soldier and all the town people are in awe of my awesome looking armor.

I can kill Blood Dragons, bears, etc with ease now with my mighty dwarven war hammer. Fire does damn near no damage to me. Killed 2 blood dragons in a span of 2 minutes. 3 mighty blows to the dome and those dragons were dead.

Just walking around right now like a total golden bad arse. Wish I done this at the beginning before i took on dragon priests doing the College of Winterhold quests.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Frost died. His aggressiveness finally got the best of him. There's a corpse of a guy laying right next to him, though, so it looks like he did work before finally succumbing.

I have one of these now:


I call him horse Horse the Cow. Because he looks like a cow.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Wow Dayman, this is your 3rd horse now right ?

Did you gut him, take every bit of meat you could find and make some delicious horse chowder? Please don't tell me you did not eat your dead horse.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Am I missing out on not having a horse? I didn't have one in Oblivion either. I kind of like running around everywhere.

BTW, I saw a video recently on YT of some guy fighting two dragons (big deal) but noticed a giant, a DB follower, and the guy's horse was also involved in the fight. I kept watching the horse like, "WTF is that horse doing fighting a dragon?" It looked like it was trying to bite it or head-butt it. I just found that funny.

Good question. I think a true Nord would do that.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Yeah.

I'm pretty sure Frost was suicidal, the way he'd attack things. Hopefully this one isn't.

I need horse armor, dammit. Hurry up and release that as DLC, Bethesda!

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I am at the point now I am seeing dragons everywhere I go it seems. I killed around 7 or 8 of them so far. I be saying to myself, I'm trying to walk through the woods and enjoy nature damn it, you better not come fly over here and bother me dragon !

But of course, they always do and then I always have to kill them and gut them, then go about my business of walking around exploring.

Dude I dont even play my lvl 4 warrior anymore for this reason. These Elder and Ancient dragons show up every 3 mins. Its too much at this point.

I restarted and never triggered dragons at all. The game is pretty nice not worrying about an *** splitting from a random dragon fight.


EDIT: lol level 40 warrior. Not 4 thats funny though

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Some Giants helped me kill a dragon, it was kinda funny cause after the fight was over it looked like they were cheering but I think they were shooing me away. haha

Also bought my first house, time to finally unload all the crap I was carrying...
