Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Finally got the PC copy (was playing on X360). Now it's time to go nuts installing mods. Between this, ME3, NBA 2K12, and The Show, I'm in game overload right now...lol. I keep jumping between games and making no progress!

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I actually recently platinumed this game, along with like 2 others in the past couple weeks. (I had only 1 previously... so now I have 4)

It was an easy platinum... but by far the most fun I've had getting one. No searching everywhere for feathers (AC2), no stupid online trophies (WWE 12), and no insane searching for a million cars that all look the same to me (L.A. Noire)

I highly reccommend anyone who gets this game to go for the platinum. It's not too hard, and shouldn't take too long (the only one that should take substancial time is the "level 50" trophy.)

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

^^^ I might give that a crack. I've never platinumed a game before and am not far off level 50 so I'll have to check it out.

Out of curiosity, what trophies don't you have yet?

The only really one you can miss is the Daedric Artifacts one if you aren't careful.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

No idea to be honest. I'm not much of a trophy / achievement type of player so I don't usually pay much attention to them so I'll have to go check out the list and see if it's even possible. I'm pretty sure I've only done 3 of the Daedric Artefacts quests so far.

Just to confirm you don't have to do all of the achiements with one character do you?

Oh me either, don't get me wrong, I always check the trophies out of curiosity, but I rarely go for trophies unless they tie into the game or sound like something I'd genuinely enjoy doing :P

In particular, there are 2 or 3 Daedric Quests that you can finish without getting the Daedric Artifact. And I don't think you are allowed to miss even one.

I would assume you could across multiple characters, as long as you are on your PSN. However, I'm fairly certain that the trophies themselves can't be done across multiple characters. For example. In the Oblivion Walker trophy (the one where you get 15 artifacts) you need to get all 15 on one character.

I hope I answered your question effectively.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I still haven't done my first playthrough with Skyrim! I have been consumed with ME2/ME3 and Battlefield 3! Maybe this summer I can start...

Been waiting for this to drop so I can make my mage and run through the college and other stuff I haven't touched.
I also hope they start getting us some info on DLC soon. I'm ready for some new content to run through with my assassin type.

Can't wait for the DLC that will come out for this game. It will make me get my fix of Skyrim again.
