The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

[D Mac]

You can't marry again if you murder your wife. :(

[El Fangel]

Yes I can.

Oh wait...you mean in the game.

[Captain of Fun]

Holy fuck, in the middle of a fight with a Frost Dragon, a blood dragon shows up.

Fucking hell, barely made it out of that one.

[D Mac]

Got my ass handed to me by an Elder Dragon, reloaded and a Frost Dragon showed up.

God, daedric armor is so badass looking.

[The Destroyer]

Here we go again. Getting further into the game and discovering I suck against virtually any enemy the game cares to throw at me in the wilderness. It's Oblivion all over again.

[D Mac]

Hit level 40, just completed the Companions quests. No longer a werewolf.

Still have a long ways to go in the main quest.

[D Mac]

Where are the best places to get Daedra Hearts?

[The Mask]

daedra chests

[The Destroyer]

Sick of getting murdered by bears. :'(

[Captain of Fun]

Where are the best places to get Daedra Hearts?

If you do the museum quest in Dawnstar, you are led to a shrine with a small room in it. There are two Dremora Lords there who respawn. Not sure how often they respawn. I would guess every two days, like shop stuff.

Anyway, it essentially gives you infinite daedra hearts.

Also, is the quickest way to level up enchanting to just smith a horde of iron daggers and enchant them?

And where can I find armor that fortifies blacksmithing as well as smithing potions.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Yeah just keep smithing and enchanting iron daggers. Enchanting them makes you ultra-money and also levels up enchanting obviously. Learn a paralysis enchantment, as it seems to be the most valuable. Takes a while but it's worth it in the end with the smithing levelling also to make the best armour and be able to smith Daedric weapons. Re-charging items levels enchanting as well I think.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'm criticising the game, matey, that's what the thread is for. I'm heartily pro-fun which is why I'd like the combat to be a little more nuanced than just twatting each other and hoping you have enough potions to win. For a game with such a teeming world, I feel like sloppy aspects of gameplay let down all that hard work, it's unsatisfying.

Stealthing around is good but obviously that is better in Fallout since you can pop someone's head from miles away with a sniper rifle.

You can still sneak around bandit dens and the like and use a bow and arrow to kill enemies...it's actually been a very common tactic for me to employ, and works great if you take the perk that grants 3.0x damage for sneak archery attacks, the perk which allows you to zoom in with the LT (on X360), and both levels of the perk that slows time when you zoom in. Sure you can't blow people's heads off their bodies, but that's OK.

For the record I wouldn't change the combat one bit if there was a TES VI game down the road. There's really nothing they could do to improve it over it was now, since they've basically cut out the "all characters in the game start at the same level as you and level up with you so they're harder to fight at higher levels" BS that was present in Morrowind and Oblivion.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

That's what I generally do as well, with my enchanted Daedric bow with a chance to paralyse enemies for 4 seconds. The zooming aim is good but the time-slowing perk I actually think makes it more difficult to hit enemies, I dislike it.

[DAMN iNATOR]

That's what I generally do as well, with my enchanted Daedric bow with a chance to paralyse enemies for 4 seconds. The zooming aim is good but the time-slowing perk I actually think makes it more difficult to hit enemies, I dislike it.

Fair enough. I'm only at like level 51 or 52 archery right now, so even with the zoom-in perk, it's still a bitch for me to hit someone where the crosshair indicates it should hit. I can be aiming for someone's upper chest and when I let go, the arrow hits my victim right in the forehead. :lol::rofl:

[Captain of Fun]

That's what I generally do as well, with my enchanted Daedric bow with a chance to paralyse enemies for 4 seconds. The zooming aim is good but the time-slowing perk I actually think makes it more difficult to hit enemies, I dislike it.


I agree. It would work better if time still slowed for a second after you let go, but since it doesn't you still have to lead your shot and judge where the enemy will be.

Still though, I really enjoy stealthing around with the bow, now that I've maxed out the skill and perks.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yeah, the only annoying thing about slow time is that it depletes your stamina as you're standing there trying to control your breathing and aim at the same time.

[The Mask]

just went to get the ring back off baird's mam who i drunkenly asked to marry me and then ended up killing her with an axe stumbling upon a dragon. know that feel bro.

[The Phenom]

Where are the best places to get Daedra Hearts?

Go to Dagons Shrine there will be dremora there, kill them then leave and wait a couple days and return they will have respawned.

[The Phenom]

Has anybody done the book xp glitch. You can max out your character in like 5 minutes. I beat the game then i tried the glitch it does work.

[El Fangel]

Iron Daggers + Health Enchantment I think is a close 2nd.

[Kris P Lettus]

Has anybody done the book xp glitch. You can max out your character in like 5 minutes. I beat the game then i tried the glitch it does work.

What is this??

[DAMN iNATOR]

What is this??

I think he may be referring to a glitch that allows you to read from the Oghma Infinium, which is a skill book that levels a set of 5 levels by 5 points and it's only supposed to be able to be done once, as it disappears when read, except if you read from it and then almost immediately drop it into a barrel or a chest or something, take it back out and read from it again. Or something.

Or I could be dead wrong.

[The Destroyer]

Go to Dagons Shrine there will be dremora there, kill them then leave and wait a couple days and return they will have respawned.
Only one I've got so far was off a necromancer outside of the place where you have to retrieve Jurgen Windcaller's horn for the Greybeards.

[Indifferent Clox]

I accidently became a vampire. Also one of my finished quests has a side facing arrow that indicated.its nit finished. Dunno what happened there...

Without spoilers how far can you go in the main quest before having to decide between the rebels and the empire?

[Funky Fly]

All the way through. That's a different quest altogether, though they are related. And you can finish some quests without finishing every step of the way. That's standard in games like this.

[Fryza]

Stupid Thieves' Guild glitch. When/what quest is the Oghma Infinium encountered?

[Funky Fly]

Stupid Thieves' Guild glitch. When/what quest is the Oghma Infinium encountered?

It was Hermaeus Mora's daedra shrine quest in oblivion. Safe to say it's the same in skyrim

[Crimson]

What can I use the diedra heart for ? I notice people mentioning it and I have one in stock..

[LoDownM]

They are used to make the best heavy armor in the game. And some other things I can't remember off the top of my head.

[Funky Fly]

Wait a tick, is daedric armor better than dragon armor?

[Captain of Fun]

From all accounts I've heard, yes.

Looks cooler too.

[Captain of Fun]

Best looking light armor I'd say goes to the Nightengale armor.

[James Diesel]

Stupid Thieves' Guild glitch. When/what quest is the Oghma Infinium encountered?

I believe when you're doing the College of Winterhold questline(could be wrong), you are sent on a quest that's in an ice cavern just north of the college. Once you do a task for the guy inside, Hermaeus Mora presents himself to you. Follow this and you'll have the book soon.

[LoDownM]

Wait a tick, is daedric armor better than dragon armor?

For Heavy Armor yes. I've seen people arguing the light dragon armor is just as good/better. It's more of an opinion tho. I've been using light armor the entire game, so I think the light dragon armor is better then the daedric armor.

[DAMN iNATOR]

It was Hermaeus Mora's daedra shrine quest in oblivion. Safe to say it's the same in skyrim

Yep, it's Hermaeus Mora's Daedric quest still. Best way to get it if you're not going to play the main quest for a while is to go to the wrecked Hela's Folly ship near but a little ways NW of Winterhold, and from there go east so you're on a heading a bit north of the College of Winterhold, and look for a cave called Septimus Sigmus' Outpost, go in there and talk to Septimus and he'll tell you how to get to the Tower of Mzark by way of Alftand which takes you to another area only accessible through Alftand.

What can I use the diedra heart for ? I notice people mentioning it and I have one in stock..

Daedra Hearts are good for use in alchemy. Dunno about anything else though.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

They're used for crafting Daedric armour and weapons. Daedric weapons are the best.

One of the Companions quests is broken in my game (Purity) and now means I cannot recruit any followers. Illia was dismissed when I started the quest and I lost a load of stuff I'd given her. All I really can be bothered doing now is the Dark Brotherhood quests as they work better alone, but it's annoying having a big broken part of the game. There's no way I'm starting over, particularly as it'll probably just break again.

[James Diesel]

Stupid Thieves' Guild glitch. When/what quest is the Oghma Infinium encountered?

I was a little bit wrong in my info. It's gotten during the quest to find the Elder Scroll. Not during the College of Winterhold questline

[Destor]

you can activate the quest at anytime by going to the cave that has...Artimis? something like that. North of the college

[Destor]

its tied into the dragon arc but has no mission requierments before starting

[DAMN iNATOR]

I was a little bit wrong in my info. It's gotten during the quest to find the Elder Scroll. Not during the College of Winterhold questline

It can be done that way, or it can be started by traveling to Septimus Sigmus's Outpost just north of the College and eventually he will tell you enough for Discerning The Transmundane to start.

[Emperor Smeat]

Bethesda has said the upcoming 1.4 patch for PS3 users will fix the lag and save glitch issues people have been experiencing although no promise the save glitch will be completely fixed for everyone.

After receiving a lot of save files from PS3 users to discover the problem, they found out that the bug isn't being caused by a single issue that would be easy to patch up but instead from multiple issues. To make things worse, each problem seems to be dependent on the user itself which means a patch that fixes one user's save file might not be able to fix a different person's save file.

[The Phenom]

There is a duplicating glitch where you can duplicate apparel and jewelry. This is a good way to get a lot of gold.

[James Diesel]

Usually glitch information is followed up with details :shifty:

[El Capitano Gatisto]

There is a duplicating glitch where you can duplicate apparel and jewelry. This is a good way to get a lot of gold.

Not really, there is absolutely no shortage of apparel and jewellry in the game. The problem is finding merchants with enough gold to buy it. Plus when you get into the game a bit you neither need much gold nor have any shortage of it.

Making iron daggers and enchanting them is the quickest way to make gold.

[Captain of Fun]

One of the Speech perks gives merchants more gold to barter with, but honestly, I'd rather use the perk on other more useful skills.

[El Fangel]

I have a chest in breezehome solely for expensive shit I've been unable to sell.

Have this ridiculous staff worth 1400g that I can't get rid of. Gold is no issue.

[stultiloquy]

I agree.
Just acquired my Nightengale armor, and seeing as how I'm only proficient in Light Armor, it's probably going to be my permanent clothing....though I might swap out the cowl for the Krosis mask; the bonuses it grants seem tailor made for my character.

[The Mask]

beat the main story now and am all level 36 and legendary daedric armour up the bum but walk into a cave with some stupid mages and just get fireballed to death in about 2 seconds flat.

[El Fangel]

I just went to the throat of the world, holy shit is all I can say at Paarthurax.

[Crimson]

Wow you guys are way ahead. Im level 9 :cool:

Just turned into werewolf. I think im going to try using my magic more often too, just running up and slaughtering with my two handed weapons is getting a little repetitive.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

You can easily rank up by Smithing iron daggers. You need some leather, and the iron bar thing. You can also enchant that item for more gold.

[El Fangel]

Try Kiting the mammoths to the west of Whiterun for leather and exp.

Iron Ingots are cheap, so Iron Daggers are easy to make.

Pack a petty soul gem on it and boom 150-200 gold.

[The Mask]

fuuuck this game feels never ending. i thought san andreas was ridiculous. took over skyrim for the stormcloaks today and like still have 304909230923 missions to do. i feel compelled to do them all but i am dying to do something else :'(

[D Mac]

Skyrim has been liberated from the Imperials. Hail Lord Ulfric!

Don't worry, it ends when one or more of the missions breaks, ballsing up your game, and you can't be arsed starting over. This could happen at any time really. Exciting.

yeah i think markarth is a no-go zone for me now despite the fact i won it for the stormcloaks :'(

[El Fangel]

I was supposed to put the knowledge from the scroll into a lexicon, but the machine gave me the scroll before the lexicon had the knowledge infused. Now I have the ████ing scroll and no way to finish the quest. My love for this game just took a nosedive as now I have to stare at the quest that I can't complete forever. I hope its not essential.

[The Rogerer]

You'll be fine. It's easily missed but you don't need it. I think you should still be able to go back to the machine and pick it up anyway.

I finished the main quest because I wanted to wrap up the game and leave it open for another play in the future with a lot to explore. It didn't go well.

One of the final fights resulted in the enemy becoming invulnerable and I had to restart the console. Good thing I looked it up.

Then in the lead up to the final quest I lost 30 minutes of saves, and it was possibly the slowest 30 minutes of the game. I think this is because there were Live connection issues and then I signed into live while playing the game, I can't think of any other reason.

The main quest is a bit underwhelming, and I understand what people mean by saying Bethesda are poor writers compared to Obsidian in New Vegas. The best parts about the game are the exploration and how well they've realised a world. People and their stories are stupider than they should be.

[El Fangel]

Thanks. Honestly was planning on selling the game if I couldn't finish it. I would have lost all desire to play and restarting would have been out of the question in fear this would just happen again.

Disappointed really, first game I enjoyed in a while now I have little motivation to play incase I █████ myself out of finishing the game.

[Tommy Gunn]

Bought this a month ago, but gonna wait for all the quests to get patched before I play it. I know if it messed up halfway through I'd be too disappointed to restart from scratch.

[The Rogerer]

It's as fixed as it's going to get now.

[El Fangel]

Somehow someway I can infuse the knowledge without the scroll...

[El Fangel]

I have no idea who posted it, but someone said that they finished the main story and they weren't even sure until they checked. So for anyone who has finished the main story, please check what I ask in the spoiler tags and let me know.

I just killed Anduin in Savngarde, is that really it. If so that was rather unwhelming...

[Destor]

the is the climax to the dragon quest line yes

[Destor]

the end to the civil war quest is MUCH more underwhelming however

[El Fangel]

If it wasn't for the ability to explore the world until your hearts content and take joy in that I would be sort of pissed off right now. I just sat there afterwards and was like "Was that it? Really?"

I think I will continue to explore and do the quests as that is really what made this game fun but the main story is very poor.

[Destor]

im juts dissapointed at the reward. the shout is cool...but i dunno...let me make a weapon out of alduin bones or something...

[Destor]

the thieves/assasin/and mages guilds final reward are pretty tops tho. other than that all guild/factions/story line completion awards are junk.

[Destor]

as a morriwind fan tho, skyrim REALLY let me down.

[D Mac]

Still game of the year.

[Crimson]

Hopefully in the next one they improve the storylines then

[Destor]

and the questing. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much fetch questing.

[James Diesel]

I have no idea who posted it, but someone said that they finished the main story and they weren't even sure until they checked. So for anyone who has finished the main story, please check what I ask in the spoiler tags and let me know.

I just killed Anduin in Savngarde, is that really it. If so that was rather unwhelming...

It's been recommended that you don't save the main quest for later in the game since the AI level system is different from Oblivion. I guess they assumed most people would go straight through the main quest first because of this. According to the guide, the suggested level for this final quest (on default difficulty)is 24, though anywhere in the 20-25 area is perfectly fine. Any level past 34 will however lead to disappointment.

Granted, this may have nothing to do with your disdain for it, but this is the common denominator of disappointment so there ya have it

[El Fangel]

I was level 38 with difficulty maxed and it felt like there was no climax at all.

[James Diesel]

Yea well the three AI's that help you do a bit more than they should and it still is a pretty easy fight for a higher character.

I was actually more impressed by the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild questlines. College questline is close behind, but Civil War line was too redundant for me. I expected more considering you learn more about the war than you do of Alduin in the beginning, but alas, just "go here, pillage, return", and so on.

[Verbose Minch]

I wasn't a fan of the Thieves Guild. You can fuck up every mission and they'll still say you're best suited to lead it.

[Kris P Lettus]

Think I'm gonna restart this weekend..

[El Fangel]

Think I'm gonna restart this weekend..

Did you finish it with the character you have?

[Kris P Lettus]

No but I'm up to level 30ish and have done little to none of the main storyline..

[El Fangel]

No but I'm up to level 30ish and have done little to none of the main storyline..

I was the same, I think I was Level 32-33 before I even went to Solitude to continue the quest you get from Deandra or whatever the fuck her name is.

[D Mac]

I'm level 42 and have only found that Blades temple.

[Crimson]

So the main story is to either join the Stormcloakes or Imperial correct? And then go fromm there?

If so which one is the more fun

[Destor]

there are two main quest, the civil war and the dragon quest lines. as far as the civil war goes they are identical. so whatever side you agree with.

[James Diesel]

I'm not sure as to which one is more fun but the morally correct one, IMO, is to join the Imperial Legion. It's kinda like choosing between the NCR and Caesar's Legion from New Vegas

[Destor]

I'm not sure as to which one is more fun but the morally correct one, IMO, is to join the Imperial Legion. It's kinda like choosing between the NCR and Caesar's Legion from New Vegas
neither is morally "correct." its subjective.

[James Diesel]

Potato, Tomato

[The Mask]

i think the stormcloaks is more morally right because the imperials are trying to suppress religious freedom innit. stormcloaks are still a bunch of xenophobes though.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

The Stormcloaks are basically like the IRA so they are morally right.

[Destor]

i think the stormcloaks is more morally right because the imperials are trying to suppress religious freedom innit. stormcloaks are still a bunch of xenophobes though.the counter argument is that the impereals know that they need time to mount a strategy against the Aldmeri; so a few years of playing by the rules and hiding the worship of Talos is better than facing total extinction.

[Destor]

then on top of that Ulfric being in the pocket of the Altmer futher tarnishes them. both sides have an argument, thats what made it good.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL. Anyway, just wanted to say I did notice and have taken both the one-handed and two-handed perk that allows for a 25% chance of any finishing power hit on a non-beast of decapitating them. So decapitations are technically in, albeit in a very roundabout way.

[Crimson]

Speaking of decapitations..I didnt know you could do that!

Wait... So should I quit fucking around and just do the main quest? I am on like level 13. Also why the fuck does my housekarl keep disappearing?

[Captain of Fun]

Nah, I would wait til you're at least level 20.


I was at level 40 by the time I did the last main quest, and it was a breeze.

Also, is there a purpose to all those masks you get from the dragon priests? I lost the first two I got.

[Destor]

if you turn them all in at this little room outside the laberythian you can summon a dragon priest to fight with you...i think thats how it worked...seems like it.

[DAMN iNATOR]

if you turn them all in at this little room outside the laberythian you can summon a dragon priest to fight with you...i think thats how it worked...seems like it.

Yeah, or you could just keep them all and wear different ones for different effects (+50 carrying capacity for example).

[DAMN iNATOR]

Just wondered...what kinds of glitches/bugs have you all who've been playing this been experiencing? I've come across some pretty weird stuff myself. For example, once I was walking by this farm with a cow and it just randomly levitated into the sky for like 10 seconds.

Things of that nature...or like this:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/s533veUXFVU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[LoDownM]

Shadowmere died after fast traveling, the area loaded up, bam dead horse. I've had most of the people of Whiterun randomly appear while I was in an entirely different area of the map. The blacksmith at the skyforge just fell over dead after a texture pop in. Managed to get under Whiterun.

Those are the ones that are major/I remember.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL, Cool story bro. Just the other day I was in the alchemist's shop in Whiterun just fucking around and sneakily stealing stuff and whatever. Somehow I got into trouble with the guards and chose to fight to the death, except I never died because of my Close Wound and Grand Healing spells, that's not the bug/glitch. What happened was, I left the shop after grabbing some supplies and doing a little alchemy at her lab, walked back outside the shop, waited until it was late at night when everyone's asleep in game for the most part (I ended the combat by yielding and paying a minor fine). I reloaded the game from the autosave file, so it was still the middle of the night, and this girl who runs the shop is asleep, yet somehow she was still talking to me as if we were doing business, and it wasn't one of those things where she wakes up and is like oh, you don't belong in here, etc., it was actual small talk that you might hear if you were on good terms or doing business with someone. So weird.

[Destor]

Yeah, or you could just keep them all and wear different ones for different effects (+50 carrying capacity for example).
you get them all back once you turn the last one in so just dont turn them in until you have the last one

[Crimson]

Ulfric beat my sidekick Lydia in a best of 5 rounds 3-2, but nobody got killed of course.. pretty funny, Lydia won the first 2 to my surprise but Ulfric's stamina was the difference.

[Captain of Fun]

I've got the multiple Letush glitch but they have progressively increased to where there is now 4.

This is much more frightening than any dragon invasion.

[Captain of Fun]

Also, I want a Bethesda Star Wars Game.

During, shortly before, or shortly after the original trilogy. None of this "THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO..." bullshit.

[Captain of Fun]

THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO
http://content8.flixster.com/question/41/53/34/4153346_std.jpg

Bioware made a Star Wars game that if it weren't for lightsabers and Clone Trooper Armor, wouldn't look like star wars at all.

[Kris P Lettus]

http://elder-geek.com/2012/02/non-violent-skyrim-playthrough-results/

[Crimson]

Yesterday I played for 7 hrs and I feel lost in the world now

[Captain of Fun]

Have to say, the idea of leaving everyone in a town, in nothing but their underwear, is very intriguing.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Also, I want a Bethesda Star Wars Game.

During, shortly before, or shortly after the original trilogy. None of this "THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO..." bullshit.

According to the latest issue of GameInformer, now that they and Interplay have settled the lawsuit, there may be a TES MMO. Of course that's purely speculation, and Bethesda could just as easily do a Fallout MMO title.

Also, from what the article said Interplay has until the end of 2013 if they want to put out a DLC and/or on-disc compilation of their own trilogy of titles (Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics).

[Captain of Fun]

What did the article say about Bethesda making a star wars game?

[BigDaddyCool]

Bioware just made a star wars game. It doesn't seem wise to make another star wars game right now... Plus there are too many as is.

[Captain of Fun]

Well it obviously wouldn't come for another couple years if they started right now.

I really hope they do a TES MMO and not a Fallout one.

Mostly because I hate MMO's.

[Indifferent Clox]

So I decided to make a British Guy in skyrim but my Gf said no that is an orc. I was like that's mean to say they just don't have great dentists over there.

[whiteyford]

You really need to start proof reading your posts Clox.

[Requiem]

Seriously, if you think you're getting Most Improved when you're too lazy to proofread on your phone.... I mean fuck, it's not that hard to pay attention WHEN YOU'RE TYPING and change words that aren't right. If you correct your spellcheck enough, it stops putting stupid words in your sentences.

[El Fangel]

What the fuck.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Did they fix the coin for the reading being droppable?

[Purgatory]

has anyone heard when it will be? Heard it was gonna be fairly soon.

[Crimson]

Interesting how they arent fixing the glitch with that book where you can level up fast. Im level 78 now :cool:

[Purgatory]

So will we be able to replay kills or is it just as it happens

As it happens. It's like the kill-cams in the Fallout 3 games. The german suplex is an added plus.

[Purgatory]

Interesting how they arent fixing the glitch with that book where you can level up fast. Im level 78 now :cool:

Which book is that? I don't recall hearing about this.

Would def help...I don't think I've crested level 25 yet. lol

[Crimson]

Oghma Infinium book. You have to complete a quest for Septimus, he's located way north I think above Winterhold. And I think he's part of the main quest ill have to look it up to be sure again. But I was playing this game alot, so this is a way for me to just level up enjoy what it comes with it and move on with my life.

[Crimson]

Read the bottom Notes

[BigDaddyCool]

is it just me, or is skyrim just a bit over rated?

[El Fangel]

is it just me, or is skyrim just a bit over rated?

The world and exploring is what makes this game decent. The story and the fighting system is vastly underwhelming.

It's eye candy at its absolute finest. But that's all it is.

[Destor]

is it just me, or is skyrim just a bit over rated?
yup

[BigDaddyCool]

I will get back to it, but it just feels so repetative.

[El Fangel]

I will get back to it, but it just feels so repetative.

It is, I think the very limited range of enemies is what factored into it the most for me. It always felt like "Whack with axe, use healing potion" and repeat that until the enemy is dead.

Of course with giants and mammoths which incidentally are the ONLY thing in the game that tend to pose a significant threat at all I tended to use kiting and high vantage points to chip away with arrows before I went in for the kill.

[The Phenom]

Has anybody heard when the dlc for skyrim will be released and what it will be.

[Purgatory]

More than likely after the 1.5 update drops. I think they'll refrain from dlc till they at least get the base game fixed, which is what the update should do.

For the most part, anyways. Personally, I haven't experienced too many game-killing bugs. A couple of freezups here and there, but that's about it.

[D Mac]

I still have yet to finish the main quest. And I bought this game on launch day.

[Emperor Smeat]

The first DLC pack might be called "Dawnguard" and will be a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/could-dawnguard-be-the-name-of-the-first-skyrim-dlc/

The 1.5 patch for the console versions is currently in certification process. The Steam patch for the PC version should be available by now.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/skyrim-patch-1-5-released-on-steam-console-version-going-through-certification/

[The Phenom]

Has anybody done the insane armor and weapon glitch using potions. I guess you can get your armor and weapons up to like 6 to 8000 on the rating. There is also a hidden chest under whiterun, solitude, winterhold, and markarth. There is also a glitch where you can wear multiple armors and items at the same time. The videos on how to do these are on youtube. I have tried some of these and they do work.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Until people install a patch that "fixes" those "issues"...

Also, can't believe it, but between the 2 characters I have I've poured in 2 weeks, 19 hours +. :eek: Dammit, I WANT MY SOUL BACK, BETHESDA!!!!!!!!!!!

[Purgatory]

Patch has been released for 360. The Killcams are a welcome change, although they don't seem to happen terribly often. I also have yet to suplex anyone, but I have seen a couple of new animations. As for the bug fixes? Dunno about that, but I notice Lydia isn't up your ass anymore while traveling. Now she lags terribly behind. :-\

Kinect support is coming to Skyrim with 200 voice commands including shouts and follower commands. Awesome

Lol.

:D

[DAMN iNATOR]

Kinect support is coming to Skyrim with 200 voice commands including shouts and follower commands. Awesome

Would probably be a no-brainer if everybody who's had it (the game, not Kinect) since day one hadn't already put several hundred (or more) hours into it. Just not really sure how exactly this is supposed to freshen up or expand the experience beyond what it already is. At this point it just seems like one of those things that many people will feel was tacked-on just because, and therefore may not actually be a much used feature of Skyrim going forward.

[DAMN iNATOR]

http://funny-pictures-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Skyrim.jpg

[dronepool]

I feel like getting this. Oblivion was okay but looking at the new features it looks more interesting. I want to make some uber-powerful dual sword wielding Sephiroth level character.

[Purgatory]

Yes. Skyrim is much better than Oblivion, from what I hear. Personally, I haven't played Oblivion. I may have to play that and Morrowind as well because there are subtle references to it in Skyrim.

[Kris P Lettus]

Morrowind and Oblivion were both great but backtracking will be disappointing.. The game play, graphics, etc will all be so bad (specially with Morrowind) that you will prolly hate them..

[Crimson]

I cant wait for the next one..assuming they will make another. Hope they can keep improving it

[dronepool]

So far I'm really enjoying this game. It's everything I expected Oblivion to be that it wasn't. It's just more fun and innovative.

[El Fangel]

How about working on the story this time, you know a good reason to replay?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Morrowind and Oblivion still look fantastic if you play them on PC and grab the HD texture packs.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Morrowind and Oblivion were both great but backtracking will be disappointing.. The game play, graphics, etc will all be so bad (specially with Morrowind) that you will prolly hate them..

One thing that's a pain in the ass about Morrowind is the bug where not saving often enough completely crashes and corrupts your file.

Must've been in the works for quite some time now, as the latest issue of Game Informer says the 360 version is set for a "Summer" release date with PS3 TBA.

Word to the wise, though: wait and see what the 2nd DLC expansion will be, then decide if either are worth justifying whatever cost to download them separately and have them "day one", or better yet, if they both look to be as great as they should be given all this development time, wait for the inevitable re-release of the game on disc as some sort of "Game of the Year edition" or "complete edition"...you'll probably save at least a bit in the long run.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

1,600 points/twenty bucks seems steep for a 581.70 MB download...

How many additional hours of gameplay is it?

[James Diesel]

It's about 10-20 hours depending on skill. So far it's been reported that you have to be level 70 or higher to fight the Legendary Dragon. Also the story has two sides you can take, giving it a replay option. All achievements are possible in one single playthrough for those that care about that thing.

I have played into it a few hours and I really like it. The story seems very interesting, I picked the vampire side. Not sure if it's price-worthy yet but we'll see. So far it's got a high approval rating.

[El Fangel]

Started a new file last night and not really as into as I would like to be. Feel bored, because the story wasn't that exciting but the world is just gorgeous. Think I will wait for feedback on the DLC but strongly considering it either way.

[Fignuts]

I've had trouble leveling up after 50. Seems like it takes forever. Blacksmithing and Enchanting are both 100, so I can't spam Iron daggers any more. Could make potions, but alchemy bores the shit out of me. Leveled up about 5 levels just sitting there whacking Partharnax for about a half an hour, but I don't want to do that anymore.

[Calamondin]

Alchemy is *more* boring than pounding on a dragon for a half hour? Though I guess the fact that I have barely touched alchemy as a thief/mage lover is sign enough.

There are certain spells you can use in non-combat situations for each of the schools: Alteration, Destruction, Illusion, Conjuration and Restoration...IF you haven't maxed all those out to 100 yet.

It is. Who in reality would actually enjoy taking a stone stick and a bowl and mixing and mashing plants in it to see what medicinal use, if any it will produce?

Oh wait...THAT GUY. ^^^ :roll:

[James Diesel]

Speech, Lockpick, and Sneak are pretty easy to get. Also for any combat based skills, just knock the difficulty down to novice and it'll level up faster.

IGN's pretty spot on with their reviews, so no more need for all this "word-of-mouth" stuff. If the review still doesn't convince you though, just wait a couple months until the after the 2nd DLC releases and they put both on a disk packaged as a GotY edition like they always do. It'll take up the exact same amount of space as downloading from 'teh interwebz', and you get everything on a disc which for me is a nice option to have.

[DAMN iNATOR]

That's true, especially if you've got an amulet or other worn enchantment that fortifies one of those skills. Got an amulet on my current character that guarantees I never fail a speech check, whether Persuade, Bribe and/or Intimidate are options. So fucking awesome.

[dronepool]

I generally find alchemy interesting. In the game it's alright but I don't use potions too often.

I'll probably get the DLC for PS3 in a few months since I'm only level 20 something and haven't finished the game.

[Funky Fly]

IGN's pretty spot on with their reviews, so no more need for all this "word-of-mouth" stuff.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Seriously, for 99.9999999999999999% of people, they'll definitely want to wait for the inevitable GotY edition of the game on disc, unless you HAVE to play every single game's DLC on Day One. Don't see what the rush is, it's not going anywhere.

[El Fangel]

Well, I am an not one to buy DLC ever and I play on getting this because more content for Skyrim is simply "more content for Skyrim"

[Reavant]

I havnt looked at this whole thread to see if anyone else has dont this but I found a way through alchemy to have your health, magica, and stamina in the six or seven digits and be able to carry 1000000 units plus.


go to an alchemy station wearing a helmet, hands, ring, and necklace each enchanted to make potions at least 20% (can be lower, but this will take longer)

You dont need any perks in enchanting or alchemy as I have none.

Wear the gear, make a potion called fortify restoration.

Quit alchemy. Drink the potion. take off the apparel and put it baclk on and you will see that the % power on the apparel has gone up.

Make another fortify restoration potion and repeat the process as many times as you like. Takes me like 10 times.

I usually stop when the % is in 8 digits because theres times when the power goes to negative numbers when its that high.

anyway when you get to a level you want to stop at with your restoration, make a bunch of them, and then make a bunch of fortify smithing and fortify enchanting.

go to a weapon wheel or the place to improve your armor and drink a smithing potion and improve your item.... I personally have a sword that does 130549 in damage now.

you can use that enchanting potion to do the same thing.



Heres whats even cooler. you can enchant an item to fortify your health, stamina, or magica. If you have completed the quest that has an amulet that improves all three by 30 your good.

Drink your insanely powerful fortify restoration potion and then equip your items or that amulet and check your skills or active effects. if the numbers arent insanely high, unequip and equip again and they will be. The effect will then last until you take the item(s) off.

[BigDaddyCool]

A city...well town, like white run seems to boast a population of maybe 50 people? It just cleared a bandit camp with 10 or 15 people in it. I realize I am surely but slowly depopulating all of skyrim!!!!

I don't see what the big deal is about the dragons, the dragon born is a far larger threat to the the country.

[Fignuts]

Wait til you get the pickpocketing perk that lets you steal equipped items and you star PANTSING all of skyrim.

Worse than death, to have to walk around the rest of your life with no pants.

[Heisenberg]

I usually have NPCs no sell my dragon kills, but for the first time I had some admirers and encouragement after this dragon kill. Does anyone else feel like the NPCs don't give a flying shit that you saved them from impending doom?

I just quit the worthless gear quest of Diablo 3, and MMOs in general. I enjoy the aspect of venturing and doing whatever the hell I damn well please without waiting or trying to grind items hours on end.

I started anew on Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas, previously I had them on the 360, but switched to PC, greatest investment I've made gaming wise.

I bought Diablo III on launch, eager to have an experience like I had with Diablo II, one of my most loved games from my youth, but it ended up being really boring and dissapointing with the auction house nonsense and the auto skill assigned.

When I left, I was on Act III Inferno, and unless I used the gold auction house, I was screwed. I refuse to use the GMAH, and play through the same shit. It's sad, because nothing will be done about it, and it could of been a great game.

I trashed my Breezehome in Whiterun last night, fuckin books everywhere and torches lit on the ground. My housecarl is too damn lazy to pick all that shit up. I have shit to do, I'm the Thane of Whiterun, and getting in with the Thieve's Guild.

All I asked of my housecarl is to keep the damn house clean and I'm pretty sure she's inviting the Stormcloak guards over while I'm away and fucking them in my bed, covers were trashed. Pretty sure I need to fire her ass.

[Destor]

SHe's prolly a skooma addict

[Heisenberg]

Every time I invite members of the Dark Brotherhood over to watch Pay Per View events, she stumbles out of her room all drunk on Nord Mead smelling like hot moose piss.

She tells me to pick up my Lesser Soul Gems?? Fuck that, I'm going to shit on her "Owned" bed, because obviously I'm the one who bought her that damn bed.

She also erased all my DVR events because she needed room for her shitty ass soap operas.

[Purgatory]

From what I've seen and read, alot of that happens in Second Life.

[Heisenberg]

Never played it

[Purgatory]

It's not even a game really. It's a 'life Simulator'. Apparently it's also fairly raunchy at times. I saw a bid that was explaining that you had to buy an in-game penis to have sex. There was like a virtual store with different varieties. Was hilarious.

One of the most interesting entrances into a townSolitude. Still maintained the want and need of lockpicking and pickpocketing after it was all said and done.

You know what you're going to have to do, eventually, right? You'll have to take one of your Black Soul Gems and carry it around, then stealthily cast Soul Trap and kill the bitch, and voila you've got a BSG that you can make do whatever you want cause now a.)she dead, and b.) she trapped in a black soul gem, enslaved to you for the rest of her miserable afterlife (no username drop intended, btw).

Why in gods name would you not want to be a vampire?

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why in gods name would you not want to be a vampire?

What reward do you get for joining dawngaurd that could possibly match up to the things you can do as a vampire lord.

Because...once you contract Porphyric Hemophilia, if you go for 3 days without seeking or obtaining a cure in time, your character is a vampire for the rest of their lives, and vampirism has never appealed to me as far as the TES games go. Although obviously I can't speak for everyone here who wouldn't want to be one, that is my personal take.

[BigDaddyCool]

I have half the cheevos. I only get to play like 8 hours a week at best so in a game like Skyrim, that isn't much.

[Fignuts]

Yeah i definitely think the game is more fun if you are an archer or mage class. Swordplay needs to be drasticly overhauled for the next game. I think if they added counters and grabs as skill perks, that alone would reallymake combat more appealing.

[Requiem]

Dark Souls combat minus the rolling would work excellent for the Elder Scrolls series. Different movesets on a per-weapon basis, and combat that really FEELS like you're hitting someone and actually blocking a hit when it happens. Keep the smoothness of not being locked on, since you're typically in first-person and aiming your attacks at someone, but make it far more precise and bone-jarring when you take a hit. Love the timing aspect of DS combat. Really love everything about the combat, but I think it could translate well into the ES environment.

[Emperor Smeat]

Next DLC pack might be called "Hearthfire" based on recent trade marks made by Bethesda. Very possible PS3 owners might not get this pack either considering Bethesda hasn't fixed all the "performance issues" from the game which caused the 1st DLC pack to be skipped.

[James Steele]

I got this through Gamefly a couple of weeks ago. It dragged at first (a lot of these games lose me because I spend hours on end running through forests), but now that I've gotten into the meat of the game it is quite fun.

[Poit]

Yeah, being a sneaking archer is so over powered.

Until you reach a boss fight.

Many bosses are undead, which are immune to poison. :(

I don't use poison much. I just use fire.

Bosses usually die in one hit from a sneaking archery attack.

The only things that give me trouble at this point, are Ancient Dragons.

[Kris P Lettus]

Actually looks pretty sweet..

[DAMN iNATOR]

I guess. Can't please everyone I suppose. Was hoping for something that would add one last questline, but whatever.

With something this ambitious being announced now and it being out in only a week or so, there's a huge potential for bugs.

[Fignuts]

Dunno, I doubt they just started working on it right after Dawngaurd. I would wager it's something they worked on for the original game, but just didn't have time to fit it in for release. That is often the case for DLC of this nature.

I think this looks pretty awesome too. Though I still want a patch that allows you to remarry at least once. The magic just isn't there with Ysolda, like it used to be.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Guess until the inevitable GotY (Dawnguard and Hearthfire on-disc instead of as a download using a web connection), I'll stick to keeping on with Oblivion. I just picked up a copy recently and have been playing as this imperial woman with mostly magic as major skills, so it's been mad easy to level up (any sort of dispel spell whether you have spells cast on you or not will increase progress towards leveling up mysticism, I'm sure there's examples of this in illusion, alteration, conjuration, restoration and destruction too). Spent the better part of an in-game month in Oblivion just using spells and then sleeping for 1 hour to level up over and over. Am only like 40 hours in Oblivion playtime and already at lvl. 27 and trying to figure out the path to take in the Great Gate in Bruma so I can shut it down and save Cyrodiil from Mehrunes Dagon.

Dunno, I doubt they just started working on it right after Dawngaurd. I would wager it's something they worked on for the original game, but just didn't have time to fit it in for release. That is often the case for DLC of this nature.

I think this looks pretty awesome too. Though I still want a patch that allows you to remarry at least once. The magic just isn't there with Ysolda, like it used to be.

I've remarried? A while after your wife dies (Lydia in my case), a courier comes and gives you some coin and a letter about your wifes death. Then you can go back to Riften and get another amulet.

Also are any of these coming to ps3. Real let down they can't even patch the first dlc

WHAT

[Fignuts]

I will stab that bitch in the throat right now if it means I can marry aela.

[Purgatory]

You can also just kill the wife, I've read. BUT, a bug sometimes occurs that prevents marriage again. You could also take her to a high ledge (High Hrothgard might work) and just FUS RO DAH her right off a cliff.

AGAIN, you might not be able to marry again.

[Purgatory]

It may work better if she just 'dies in Combat'.

My wife isn't a follower, that lazy bitch.
