Hopefully this is the best game ever. Morrowind and Oblivion could have been the best games ever but it seemed like the creators didn't put as much into the story and funness as they put into the cutting edge style of gameplay, especially Morrowind. Don't get me wrong. They're awesome games but it kind of seemed like frosting the best cake ever with just a very good frosting.

Cards in PC are better. I think this argument is silly, although if it's made for 360 it might run smoother. I want to see comparison videos soon
[Aug 18,2011 10:30am - Alx_Casket ""]
PC is the obvious choice. They're just saying that it'll be better for consoles so that I won't download it.
[Aug 18,2011 10:33am - arktouros ""]
if fallouts and oblivion are any indication, they look infinitely better on PC. you can crank the settings, and the consoles just don't have the memory for the draw distance and better textures. ALSO remember that most games run in 720P which is ONLY 1280x720, usually you run PC games in at least 1600x900. there's really no comparison, the only difference is the way a TV projects it's image versus a computer monitor. TV projects in large format which makes "small" resolutions appear larger, but pixels are still easier to see in console games.
[Aug 18,2011 10:35am - arktouros ""]
and if the argument is Xbox vs. PS3 then PS3's hardware is better and developers are squeezing more out of the PS3 these days. The Xbox came out in 2005 and PS3 in 2006, they are ancient in hardware age.

A bunch of game devs have said that the control scheme is better on console than PC. PC controls for Oblivion were just fine, and when it comes to dual wielding and other commands, I have enough buttons on my mouse to handle everything. And my ps3 controller works on my PC if all else fails. What.

I prefer it on console honestly. The only games I prefer on PCs are ones where you're using a mouse to do things, ie diablo, warcraft, command and conquer etc. I never understood how people played those on console...
But I preferred games like doom/duke nukem/q3e with a controller hooked up to my PC; why not just play on console?
[Oct 18,2011 8:47am - arilliusbm ""]
I guess it's just a matter of preference. I personally cant stand playing ANY 1st person game with a controller.
Also, the video card in 360 is outdated, although they made it for the console.
That was a major backstab to us PC fags because all previous Elder Scrolls games were designed as PC games first and foremost.
[Oct 18,2011 9:12am - ark ""]
the PC version won't suffer any. don't worry. xbox is the old crotchety console by now but it won't detract from the experience. I'm thinking about getting the ps3 version only to add to my collection, i've noticed PS3 stuff is holding it's value really well. I'll still play it on PC though.
There's a Metal Gear remastered collection coming out around the same time. Plus I'm thinking of dropping $ for the Skyrim collector's edition. Goddamm that's mad $$$.

So I've never played any of Elder Scrolls games, but I've always heard they've been good. Is it like a FF-type RPG or no? I generally don't get into RPG type games, but this one looks friggin ridiculous.
[Nov 1,2011 10:22am - ark ""]
timma i'd say the only way it's similar to FF is in the world map exploration. the big difference is that elder scrolls games emphasize going off the beaten path, and complete character customization. the combat is in real-time so it's action based, and you level up based on how you play - if you sneak around and use a bow, you get better at stealth and archery.

[quote]My coffee is stone cold. I don’t even know how long I’ve had it, I’ve been so completely lost in Skyrim. I’ve been granted a generous chunk of time to play the very latest build of the full game – no restrictions on what I can do or where I can go. And I’ve only just finished creating my character.
At the start of the game, you’re being led to your execution. I’ve skipped to just after you get out of that, when you’re given one last chance to choose your race, gender and appearance before being let out into this vast and frosty world.
Bethesda don’t want to spoil the main quest, and neither do I. The reason to be excited about Skyrim is your own story: the unique string of discoveries and adventures you run into. And because it’s unique, I can tell you mine without spoiling yours.
Mine was the story of a scarlet-plumed Argonian with manic staring eyes. As I say, I spent a long time in character creation. Argonians are lizard men, and they’ve had a major overhaul in Skyrim: they look more monstrous, leathery, dinosaurian.
As in every Elder Scrolls game, you start as a prisoner with no history or status. But the war paint, scars and dirt you can add during character creation make it feel different this time. They’ve made it easier to make a character who looks desperate, bedraggled and fierce. Every race looks leaner and meaner: previously adorable wood elves have piggy, dead black eyes. Previously goofy orcs look fierce and tribal. Once aloof high elves look withered and cruel. And dark elves- wait, no, dark elves always looked like jerks.
My scary-eyed Argonian starts the game in a cave. At the other end, a dazzling light shines through chunks of blue ice, and as I step towards it, a prompt appears: ‘To Skyrim’.
Morrowind let you off a boat, into a misty fishing village overlooked by a giant tick. Oblivion let you out of a sewer, onto the shores of a shining lake. Skyrim lets you out of a cave, on the snowy slopes of a huge mountain. The craggy landscape stretches before you, half lost in the clouds. It’s one hell of a sight. I turn around and set off in the opposite direction.
This is what I love about Elder Scrolls games. I love not doing what I’m told, avoiding what I’m pointed at, and going where I shouldn’t. Anyone wanting to take the well-trodden path in Skyrim can head down that slope, discover the small town of Riverwood, and kill a boss spider in a dark cave. But we’ve seen all that in the E3 demo – I want to see the rest of the world.
A few minutes up the hill, I find a walled-off Nordic town I’m not allowed into. I hop on a few boulders and climb in anyway. Through a pair of heavy doors, I find subterranean torture chambers, and dead adventurers rotting in tiny cages. Only one seems worth looting – a robed guy with a book in his cell – but it’s locked.
Lockpicking is no longer a tumbler-tickling nightmare: you just swivel one pick to what you hope is a sweet spot, and try turning the lock with the other. It’ll turn a little if you’re close to the sweet spot, but turn too far in the wrong position and the pick snaps. It’s a system that works well in Fallout 3, and it feels slicker here.
Persuasion, by the way, isn’t a minigame at all this time. Certain dialogue options have ‘[Persuade]’ in front of them, and your chance of success – which isn’t shown – depends on your skill. I never succeeded at one.
The wizard has nothing much on him, but the book is worth it: it teaches me Spark, a streaming lightning spell. I try it out on a ribcage: a crackle of white energy leaps from my hand, jolting it across the room, and doesn’t stop. The roaring current keeps flowing as long as you hold the button. It’s an addictive feeling of power.
Back out in the wilderness, I decide I need a destination. The map, when I bring it up, is beautiful: a bird’s-eye-view of the world, in full 3D and rotatable to view its geography. Parts of it are swamped in mist because, apparently, it’s actually misty there at this moment.
I pan beyond the mountain I’m climbing now and look for the nearest city in this direction. Off to the east, the snowy slopes give way to milder forests running along a meandering river, and a few miles later the river leads to a city. I’m going to Riften.
You can’t fast-travel to cities you haven’t visited already, but I want to walk it anyway. I haven’t gone far up the slopes when it starts to snow – lightly, then heavily, then a full-on blizzard. A cold haze creeps over everything, and I can barely see where I’m going. I stumble on some carefully piled rocks, and follow a trail of these as best I can. Until I come to one that’s splattered with blood and decorated with human bones. Ah.
My compass indicates some kind of thing nearby, so I head to it. I could use a thing about now.
The thing turns out to be Orphan Rock, a huge mass of stone jutting out from the mountainside. Scrambling through the snow, I find a way to the top and peer out into the storm. All I can make out is what looks like a huge carcass to the east. I jump down to investigate, and realise it’s a horse: dead and twisted next to an upturned cart. I ‘search’ its ‘inventory’ and ‘collect’ some horse meat, then freeze at the sound of steel. I scan the wreckage for movement, and realise there’s a large, shaggily dressed warrior making his way around it, battleaxe drawn.
So about the new dual-wielding system. In your inventory, you equip an item or spell by pressing the button you want to assign it to: left or right. There are virtually no restrictions on what you can mix, so I’d mixed a flame spell in my left hand with the new lightning one in my right. And in the heat of the moment, it’s pretty natural to just hold down both.
The crackling torrent of fire and electricity takes even me by surprise. A separate stream shoots from each hand, but they’re so thick and chaotic that it often looks like one vast beam of lightning and flame. I can barely see the warrior through the dazzling blaze, but when my magicka bar runs dry there’s only a corpse. At which point, a long sharp object zips past my head.
Archers. Two of them, and I have no magicka. I will solve this by standing exactly behind a tree until I do. This is what they did for a cover system in fantasy times.
Unfortunately, the warrior has a friend with a sword and shield, and he knows his way around a tree. I need something else to attack with, so I bring up my Favourites menu. Your inventory in Skyrim is like a web browser, in that you can bookmark items and bring that shortlist up in-game. Time is paused while you choose, so it’s not like a hotkey system – a difference I was glad of in this tight spot. I’d bookmarked my best onehanded sword, and I had two of them, so I hit the left and right buttons to put one in each hand.
Melee combat is slightly more satisfying than in Oblivion, but light blows still feel a little unconvincing, and heavy ones still a little clumsy. My enemy was excellent at blocking, but I had a crucial advantage: I wasn’t going to ever stop attacking for any reason. Eventually he just couldn’t block all the blows from both my swords all the time, and he fell to his cuts. At which point, I had a full bar of magicka and my fire and lightning spells re-equipped. Charge!
I am not a skilful man, so it took my whole magicka supply to keep my dual streams on the first archer long enough to burn him to the ground. Back to the favourites menu: two axes! Against a man with a bow, this fight goes better – it ends when I bring both axes crashing into either side of his head with a special dual power attack.
Suddenly I’m alone in the blizzard, among the corpses of both the attackers and the travellers they evidently ambushed. I put my axes away and set off towards Riften.
The blizzard doesn’t let up, and it’s getting dark. I start looking for another thing. My compass suggests there’s a boxy thing with lines in it to the north and a triangular thing to the west – I’m not yet familiar with what these icons represent. I head for the boxy thing, and by the time I arrive it’s night.
It’s a small shack, lit by lamplight from the inside, and pretty glowing insects buzzing around outside. I try to catch one. ‘Sparkfly thorax collected’. What?! No! I didn’t mean- nevermind.
Inside, I find the journal of an alchemist who lived here for a while. I use his apparatus to try mixing a few potions of my own: any two ingredients with a common effect will make a potion, but you have to eat one raw to find out any of their effects in advance. In the case of Nightshade and Death’s Bane, I decide to forego the taste test and just experiment. They produce a strong poison, which I apply to a sword I will forget to ever use again.
Finally, I shut the door and decide to see if I can sleep through this storm – or at least the night.
The next morning the sun is shining, I have a bonus to my health and magicka for sleeping in a good bed, and it’s only a short trudge through the snow before it gives way to an autumnal forest: silver birches with rustling yellow leaves. Soon I reach a camp of half a dozen large tents, erected around a fire with a roasting spit. Imperial guardsmen are milling about in their Roman-looking armour, so I trade with their quartermaster and then try their cooking apparatus.
Cooking is a new feature where, as soon as you bring up the interface, all the imperial guardsmen around you draw their weapons, start shouting, and then run up the hill behind you while you gently stir a pot. Wait, I’m not sure that’s meant to happen.
I join the guards, but I can’t see what they’re reacting to. Following their gazes, I head up a hill outside camp, then finally see it: a Redguard woman in leathers on a high rock, raining arrows down on the camp below. I draw a newly purchased warhammer, itching to try out two-handed weaponry on someone relatively defenceless.
She draws a battleaxe. She runs at me, storming down the hill. I draw my warhammer back. She draws her battleaxe back. I swing. She swings – and an arrow hits her in the side of the neck, sending her flying off my screen and tumbling gracelessly down the hill.
Guys! I was having a dramatic hands-on preview moment!
Back at camp, I get the hang of cooking, then blacksmithing: both are basically lists of things you can produce that pop up while your character looks busy in the background. Cooking turns raw food items into stews that give you long-lasting buffs, such as a venison stew that steadily regenerates your health for five minutes or so. Blacksmithing turns metal ores into armour and weapons, but better item types are locked off until you get the right blacksmithing perk. I also had a go on their grindstone: you can sharpen weapons for extra damage. Elsewhere, you can use enchanting shrines to add spell effects to any weapon, and even destroy magical weapons to learn their enchantments and apply them to something else.
While I tinkered, a guard mentioned that the legion are always looking for help. It turns out you can actually join the Imperial Legion in Skyrim, and they’re one of a few non-guild factions.
Near the camp, I find a ruined temple of some kind, half-overgrown. I’m about to investigate when a halfnaked man runs up to me and gets my attention. Since this isn’t Oblivion, that doesn’t mean my head is sucked into his for a creepy conversation where his face fills the screen – I’m just turned to face him, rooted to the spot but free to look around while he talks.
“Here, hold on to this for me! I can’t keep it, but I’ll be back for it later.”
Since the item in question is a Battleaxe of Souls, I accept. Before the guy can even run off, a hunter appears.
“Have you seen a thief anywhere?”
I look round at the thief, then back to the hunter, and consider the axe in my inventory. “… no.”
“Damn. Well, if you see him, let me know, he has something of mine.”
As soon as the conversation ends, the hunter sees the thief and draws his bow. Not wanting to be left out, I draw my new battleaxe and crush the thief with an overhanded power attack. I look at the hunter, then back to the stolen axe I just used in front of him, and crush him with it too.
I’m still a long way out of Riften, and it’s taken me an hour to cross a patch of snow that looks tiny on the map. There are, however, a few horses here at camp. On the one hand, they’re not for sale and everyone’s watching me. On the other hand, woo! Horsey!
You now steer horses the way you steer yourself – they don’t use the vehicle-style controls of Oblivion. It’s not a dramatic change: horses are still just a reasonably fun speed boost, but one I badly needed to reach Riften.
I make excellent time galloping along the leafy riverside road, and I even stop to say hi to some Rift Guards who’ve made camp by the river near the city gates. This, it turns out, is a mistake.
The Rift Guards are a separate faction to the Imperial Legion, so they don’t much care about the bounty on my head for stealing this horse. But when I get back on my horse, they’re suddenly furious. He’s stealing the horse he rode in on! GET HIM!
This sort of lunacy will be a familiar tale for anyone who horse-rustled in Oblivion. But in other ways, the crime system is more advanced: each city is its own faction, so crimes in one don’t get you in trouble in the next. And if you can kill everyone who saw you commit a crime, you’ll get a notification that there are no surviving witnesses, and your bounty has been cleared.
Right now, though, this is bad. I gallop on to Riften inside of a minute, but arrive with arrows whizzing past my head and sticking in my horse. Two guards at the gates charge at me on sight. I try dismounting and putting my weapon away, the way you usually surrender to the guards in Skyrim, but they don’t relent. As much to escape their blades as any actual desire to be here, I burst through the city gates.
It gets rough. Guards are streaming in from every side street as I barge through the busy market in the centre of town, jump over fences and weave between bystanders. This is not how I wanted to see the city. I leg it through a gate in the walls.
Outside, something bizarre is happening. The Imperial Guardsmen chasing me for the first time I stole the horse have run into the Rift Guards furious with me for the second time, and they’re both much more furious with each other. A small war breaks out in front of the city walls, and for once I’m not under immediate attack. When there’s only one guard left among the bloodied corpses, I walk straight up to him, weapon sheathed: please, please arrest me. He arrests me.
In Oblivion, a few of your skills would atrophy as you rotted in your cell. In Skyrim, this doesn’t happen, but your progress towards your next point in a few skills will be reset. It’s a much milder penalty – I don’t even notice which skills I’ve lost progress in.
Finally exploring Riften without being stabbed, I find a remarkable city. A river runs through it, and in places the cobbled streets give way to sharp drops to the water below, wooden walkways running along the houses at street level. Below that, a network of piers connects the doors of grubbylooking subterranean dwellings, their doors almost at water level. From the chatter around town, I hear there’s a network down there called the ratways, where the Thieves Guild hide out. Rift Guards with ominous helmets that conceal their faces growl as I pass. In all kinds of ways, it reminds me of Vivec, Morrowind’s intimidating capital.
When I ask art director Matt Carafano about the other cities, he says they’re all unique. “We worked really hard to make those feel distinct. So Riften is a rundown lake town, but it’s set in the beautiful fall forest area. Whereas Markarth is built in an ancient dwarven ruin in cliff sides, so it’s very different. Solitude is more like a castle city, kinda influenced by an imperial style. Windhelm is an ancient Nordic fortress, so it’s full of really old Nordic architecture. And you have the city of Whiterun in the centre, which is a more classic Viking – almost mountain-style – city in the tundra.”
Back in the market, a shifty-looking man runs up to me. He’s impressed that I saw through the corrupt guard at the north gate, but he thinks killing him was a little harsh. I… what?
I deduce he’s a thief with some kind of scam going with a guard. That guard must have been killed in the fracas I caused at the city gates, and he’s assuming I rumbled his scheme and did it intentionally. That’s wildly untrue, but he’s so impressed with my instincts that I decide to accept the credit. He’s offering me work: he wants a vendor in town brought down, so he needs me to pickpocket a valuable ring, then place it in the vendor’s private chest. He’ll create a distraction while I work.
My new friend shouts to all the shoppers and vendors to gather round, and they do. My mark sits on a crate in front of some barrels, and as the thief rambles about a dragon elixir he’s discovered, I sneak up behind the vendor and rifle through his pockets. The moment I take the ring, he screams “Thief!” and the guards flood in. I am new at this.
I didn’t know it at the time, but in Skyrim, your chance of successfully pickpocketing something depends partly on its value. Rifling through someone’s inventory is no longer a crime – at least, not a detectable one. But when you take something, the chance you’ll get away with it depends on your pickpocketing skill, the weight of the item, and how much it’s worth. People pay more attention to their valuables, this rule implies.
I don’t resist arrest, but I’m not willing to serve time for this. As in Oblivion, you wake up in jail with a single lockpick, somehow secreted about your person. Unlike Oblivion, it was actually enough. Before long, I’m out – no skill-progress reset. Man, I should be in the Thieves Guild.
I decide to find the Thieves Guild. Not losing my skill progress pays off: soon I level up, and finally decide to rest. This is where Skyrim goes from exciting to a thing we need a new superlative for – not the resting, but the levelling up. Your skills improve as you use them, and improving enough skills increases your character level. That lets you choose a perk: a tweak to one of your skills that makes it more effective. So you have an element of choice, but you can’t pick a high-level perk for a skill you haven’t practised much: they have requirements.
The selection is literally dizzying. I have a sort of buzz in my brain as I scamper around the menu reading up on all the options I’ll never unlock in the time I have left. I have two perks saved up – you’re not forced to spend them as soon as you level – so I put them both into Destruction magic. The first halves the cost of all low level destruction spells, including my fire and lightning ones. The next enables dual-casting: when you equip the same spell in both hands, you can fire both at once for a single, disproportionately more powerful beam.
I blunder into a few dwellings before I find the ratways. They turn out to be a string of incredibly tight tunnels, dank and filthy. Almost immediately, I come out into a larger chamber and find a gaggle of thieves. Excellent!
They demand all of my money. Dammit, I forgot that was the problem with thieves. Renegotiating, I suggest that I keep all of my money, and they instead take all of the fire I’m now shooting from my hands. It’s a tough sell: some of them feel I should take one or two of their arrows in return, and one thinks his fists should be part of the deal. There’s only one thief left when I run out of magicka, so I bring out my warhammer and crumple him

This is true, but a ps3/360 costs less than a mid range card does these days. In my opinion the cost of graphics hardware is what is killing pc gaming these days, not piracy. Some serious pc gamers are now buying 2, 3 or 4 top of the line cards to run in sli, or crossfire mode, plus the upgraded power requirements that come with it. Some pcs now have multiple power supplies just to power the graphics hardware. It's just costing too much to stay current on the pc.

I think a lot of that is overkill. PCs are easy to pour money into, but for a baseline system that can run everything very well these days, you don't need to spend over $400 for a complete system. I dropped $280 the other day for a brand new AMD processor, mainboard, and 8GB performance RAM. I can turn around and sell the 4-year old Intel hardware I have for almost that much! I think with PCs, the biggest barrier is knowledge of system building.

Completely agree it's easy to go overboard. My mainboard was probably about $280 alone when I first bought it. That being said, pc hardware has always driven game development and vice verse. Eventually, even with 4 dedicated graphics cards and 16gb of ram games will start to get choppy again and you'll have to stomach lowering your settings for the latest game.

The overclocking I have set to a moderate level. Overclocks on demand when needed and ratchets back down when not needed. Could probably run it much higher but I'm on air cooling with the stock AMD cooler right now. I may go back to water cooling just for the the sake of getting rid of the high rpm fan noise. The clear cmos button is a nice touch, removing the battery and jumper is old school and requires opening the case. Just don't push it unintentionally. Don't have any USB 3.0 devices yet but probably will someday. I don't upgrade my system that often so this one was built with the intent to last at least 5-7 years. The integrated sound card replaced my SB audigy 2 pci card that I've had for years. Running one PCI-e Radeon HD 5850 card right now.

This is exactly why I dont PC game anymore. i used to build rigs and be all into maxing out FPS's . The more they kept upgrading cards and graphics and adding more requirments of power supplies. It just seems really silly. The technology needs to intergrate all this stuff better. Its now like having a car with 5 motors and 3 gas tanks. Its a pain in the ass to learn about and Im lazy these days. A ps3 on a nice huge hd1080p tv looks just as good, costs less, and i can lay down and play on my couch. Win.

I'd be surprised if the ps3 will output this game on full 1080p. I built my system five years ago for around $500 (using the same case for a lot longer) and I've only upgraded the video card once. My ps3 on the other hand, is only used for DLNA streaming these days.

I can stream standard def TV and movies no problem via PS3 Media Server (I think you recommended that? if so thanks). But most games that aren't in the vein of tetris gameplay will output in 720p, if that, to keep framerate up. PC > console with games like this.

yeah, i like the combat a lot. it's not dark souls caliber, but still far better than oblivion's. they added enough to keep it interesting. shield bash, dual wield anything, perks make it a bit deeper. there's a good sense of "weight" behind swings and spells. i've missed a heavy swing with a two-hander and fallen off a cliff more than once.

great game so far, though. it's like an upgraded version of oblivion. If you've done the "Golden Claw" mission (one of the first ones you can do), you get to fight the Undead and waltz through a snowy cave with waterfalls. pretty epic.
I also don't like how they dumbed down the speech and bartering system; however, the whole smithing thing is pretty cool, although I havn't really utilized it a whole lot. I've barely done quests, I've just been roaming around at random, robbing and killing people in the wilderness.

sleeping in an owned bed gives you the "rested" effect which i think means you learn skills faster for a while. waiting is just for something like getting to a shop when they're not open. as for cooking, raw food doesn't give you much health, experimenting with recipies and cooked food gives you a lot more buffs (like increased stamina or magic regen for a while after eating a steak)

in the last one you had to sleep to level up, so it was very important. all it does in SKYRIM is heal you. if you wait, you heal as well, so its pretty pointless. you dont need to eat, but if youre a mage then its good to have some potions to heal with so you dont have to use your mana on healing.

elder scrolls games are always a circus with NPCs and companions.

It's getting easier to pick high level locks. At first it was damn near impossible to do a master lock, but I like that they give low level characters the opportunity to try. And where are you getting lockpicks? In Oblivion, merchants had a ton of them. Now they only have a few, if you're lucky.

Ok i caved, and got this sooner than i planned because I happened to be right next to the gamestop and figured i would renew my 5 dollar reservation. Its a great game, more addicting than i thought it would be. My only issues are predictably with the combat system. Its needs a lock on feature when you are close up. 3rd person is feels retarded even though i prefer that viewpoint usually. I wish there was some way to dodge and have it take stamina. Also does hitting someone in the head do more damage?
[Nov 16,2011 3:55pm - ark ""]
the combat is no dark souls for sure. it is different. i don't like 3rd person in this game. it's possible to dodge attacks but you have to predict how their swing is going and you don't get a speed bonus, you just have to be damn good. head damage does do more. i guess there's a reason you can't lock on, you are just supposed to land your hits and you don't get any help. i could be wrong, but dodging might be a perk in one of the skill trees. i know decapitations are in the "two-handed" skill tree. i think there's a quick dodge in the "sneak" skill tree but i'm not sure what it does.

For the guy looking for the tank:
Go to Falkreath. Walk outside town and find the talking dog, Barbas.
Don't complete his quest.
You now have a completely invincible dog that draws aggro like mad and doesn't count as a follower. So not only is he the perfect tank, but you can still bring another follower along to make a nice little party.
I finally finished the dog quest, and was amazed at how much harder the game/combat got without him.

[Nov 18,2011 10:21am - Large Negro Kitty ""]
If you want a mage companion, you can also get one by completing the Black Star quest. I recommend you do this quest RIGHT AWAY if you do enchanting or use enchanted weapons. After you complete it you get either the black star - a refillable, reusable black soul gem or the Azuras Star - same thing, but it's a white soul gem. - black traps humanoid souls, white traps animal/creature souls
If you choose the azuras star ending (turn in at the altar) you get to keep the mage woman there as a companion.
I cannot say enough - do this quest EARLY as the higher level you get - the final fight of the quest can be IMPOSSIBLE. And the soul gem can be a huge game changer for people looking to do enchants. With a common soul gem, for example, I can enchant my armor for +2 health. The same enchant with the black star gives me +33 health. And it's REUSABLE.

Be aware - I've read online of at least two reports that it is possible
to have your house robbed by NPC's. Since learning this, I dismissed
Lydia and now she guards my house in whitecarl full time. Creepy thing
is, she has her own bedroom there but she hangs out in mine instead.
I think Lydia is into the inter-species sex thing. Once you go negro kitty,
you never go back.
Once you buy the house in Whiterun it will be her default home whether she's following you or not.

[Nov 18,2011 11:25am - Large Negro Kitty ""]
I started buying houses after I read the warning from bethesda that the only
way to guarantee your shit doesn't disappear is to buy a house. I dunno if it's
intentional or a bug, but bethesda even put a warning in the manual this time
around saying that using containers you do not own can cause your shit to
disappear. I'm not taking that risk. I've probably got 10,000 in weapons
stashed in my house.
Also, having your own alchemy lab in your house, shelves filled with all
your books, a blacksmith next door, all my crafting goods, etc... is more
convenient to me than jumping town to town to get stuff done.
Now I just wish I could get an enchanting lab in the house, so I can stop having to run to Anise's cabin to get my enchanting done.
Also, DO NOT SELL YOUR CRAPPY WEAPONS WITHOUT ENCHANTING THEM FIRST.
Even using crappy lesser and petty gems, you can create an iron dagger
worth 10G, enchant it with a petty gem, and it will sell for 700G instead of
10G. In other words, take 100 iron ore, 100 leather/strips, and you can
craft 100 iron daggers, raise your skill like 50 points, enchant them, and
sell them for about 70,000G depending on your speechcraft. All for around
1000G in materials.
If you've been skipping or selling your shitty iron daggers and such, you're
losing out.

WTF, isn't it one of the first quests in the main storyline?
You shouldn't veer off so quickly. The first few quests (graybeards, courier/black star quest, etc...) give you perks
that can be pretty integral as you level early on. For instance, the
black star wouldn't be nearly as useful once I was in elite armor and
done crafting/enchanting/leveling skills.

Trying to think of what happened.
I BELIEVE that when you do a shout outdoors the first time or something,
a courier brings you some sort of letter. Whatever it is, it puts Azura's temple
on my map. If you go there, you meet a mage who sends you on a daedric
quest chain that ends with you getting a daedric artifact - black star or Azuras
star.
[Nov 18,2011 12:03pm - Large Negro Kitty ""]
Lydia quest is started I believe the first time you visit the Jarl in Whiterun.
When you arrive in town his soldier lady (lydia) tells him they saw a Dragon.
He asks you to follow her and help her fight the dragon since you have the
most experience with dragons. When you finish that quest he gives you Lydia.

ok question for xboxers: you can have 2 preset weapon sets on your d-pad left and right by going to favorites and holding either left or right, but when I try to set two things, say flames and sword, to one direction it just does either one or the other, not both, so when i click left or right on the d pad it will quick switch to only one weapon instead of dual wielding. this seems like either Im doing something wrong or its just a huge game design flaw, because if you cant quick switch to a dual wield then whats the point? you quick switch to say a sword and you still have to open the menu to select a shield? WTF
[Nov 18,2011 12:30pm - Large Negro Kitty ""]
ur doin it wrong.
It's not for switching item sets. It's for, say, switching quickly to a weapon
with a Soul Trap enchant in time for the killing blow. Or say you're dual wielding
maces. You set your bow to left d-pad. Now you can hit one button and whip
out your bow, take a shot, then hit the same button and rush back in with your
maces in hand.
[Nov 18,2011 12:37pm - Blessed_Offal ""]
yea but if im dual wielding and i switch to bow, when i switch back its not dual wielding anymore, because it only lets you select one weapon per button

Had the same problem. Ark addressed it above but in the magic menu under shouts you hit x on the shout that's locked to spend a dragonsoul.

you have to collect dragon souls (by killing dragons) and then you can 'spend' them by hitting x. once you have a soul, go to shouts and highlight it and hit 'x' or whatever button it says to spend it on whatever shout you want to use.

Before I said yes to taking a bite, I googled the mission because I didnt want it to turn me into a fucking zombie or someshit where I have to kill and eat people to survive the rest of the fucking game...
I had to follow blood splatters on the ground to search for clues.
also an annoying bug where I couldnt get out of this one dungeon. this gate was closed and I pull the chain and it wouldnt open...FINALLY i googled that too and it was a bug; had to turn the xbox off and back on. as SOON as it loaded, i pulled the chain and the gate opened right up. Weird.
also I cleared out the Lost Knife Cave right near the beginning of the game it was kind of challenging cause I was such a low level character at the time....last night some dude asked me to kill the leader of The Lost Knife cave so I look at the map and it says "CLEARED" right next to that cave but for some reason I had to go back there and all the dudes were BACK.

Smithing is easy to level.
Every day, the chick and guy blacksmith couple at whiterun have fresh ingots and
leather in their inventories. Every time I finish a quest, I sell all my loot and then
buy out every scrap they both have. Go forge iron daggers (1 ingot, 1 leather).
Then ENCHANT THE DAGGERS!!!! You'll level your smithing in no time, and your
enchanting will increase right along with it. Bonus? Each dagger with enchants
will sell for something like 600G.
It shouldn't be expensive. You should be profiting like a motherfucker off smithing.
The trick is the enchants. It raises the price from 10G to 600G.
[Nov 21,2011 9:40pm - Large Negro Kitty ""]
Should mention - fire enchant on the daggers is what gets me 600G. Any size gem
will give you the same enchant strength/value. Unlike armor enchants, which get
stronger with stronger gems. So you can do this with a bunch of shitty petty gems.

AndrewBastard said:i never pick up the ignots or whatever theyre called when I see them...
Mining or looting will take forever. Just buy them. Only craft shitty iron daggers to start.
They require the least materials, so you can level your skills FAST. Then, you can
pretty much level the shit out of any weapon or armor you want.

i havnt even come across a single enchantment yet. how are you people leveling so damn fast? christ ive logged like 27 hours and apparently im not even a lvl 2 nerd
[Nov 21,2011 11:55pm - Large Negro Kitty ""]
You learn enchantments by disenchanting enchanted stuff. All the shitty low level daggers, maces, etc... with enchantments can be disenchanted, and then you know how to do that enchantment to stuff. So the first time I find an item with a new enchantment, I don't use it, I just disenchant it.
[Nov 22,2011 12:00am - Large Negro Kitty ""]
If you've logged 27 hours and you're level 2, you likely have a shit-ton of level ups. Have you gone into your skills menu and leveled? I've got like 40 hours or something and just hit level 29.
When you can level up, you actually have to go in and level up.

So, apparently I missed Clavicus Vile's mask because I assumed the Rueful Axe was the Daedric artifact in "A Daedra's Best Friend" quest. I already saved over that particular save so there is no going back. My question is, is it possible to still get the achievement? I've read somewhere that it might be possible to miss one and still get the achievement but I can't find a solid, confirmed answer on this. The one thing I have going for me is that I have both the Ring of Hircine and the Saviour's Hide from the "Ill Met by Moonlight" quest. i whisted for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and had dice in the irror
if anything i could say that this cab was rare but i thought nah, forget it yo home to bel-air! i-pulled- up tp a house about seven or eight i yelled to the cabbie yo home, smell you later looked at my kingdom i was finally there to sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air

There is a new 1.2 Patch coming up. Plus a very big DLC with a new Main Quest as big as the Skyrim Dragon Chronicle Quest, details regarding the DLC are not yet known.
Regarding the 1.2 Patch, there have been a few details claiming what “might” be included. Here is a small list:
1. Missing Horse, Minion and Ally Health will be restored and shown on the hud.
2. Fast Travel Options will be enhanced.
3. Minor Lagging for ATI Graphic cards with Quality set to High or Ultimate will be enhanced.
4. Missing Passive Spells and Effects timers will be restored and shown on the hud.
5. Fix the issue with AMD Drivers where Blue Screen of Death Appeared for PC users.
6. Improve world load processing, reducing the number of lags when many new particles appear.
etc . . .
This was as much as we could provide from our Bethesda Insider, if more news comes up will post, or update the news.

Investment perk is worth it. One vendor took 500G from me. Now every other day he's got 10,000G in his inventory. So much easier than bouncing to a million different vendors.

A tip:
Lydia/companions -
1) if you target them from a little ways away and hold X, it will enter command mode instantly (instead of having to talk to her first).
2) Companions HAVE NO CARRYING LIMIT, as long as you tell them to pick it up!
Only think is, sometimes when you do this the loot will show up as stolen. (i.e. - having lydia take all from a chest, etc...) so you cannot vend it without the appropriate perk or a fence.

Dragons are getting out-of-control. Seems like every time I try to go from city to city to sell stuff I get jumped by an Elder Dragon. Which sucks, because those fuckers just fly around killing all the town vendors while lydia shoots arrows at it. Being 90% melee leaves me screwed.

There's this annoying quest bug with the Companions - you're sent to bring back a witch's head, when you get back to Whiterun, the Silver Hand has attacked The Companions, everyone is huddled over the dead bodies and the questgiver won't advance the story. It has something to do with the Helm of Winterhold and/or Driftshade Refuge, neither of which I'm able to get any quests for, and basically it's annoying as fuck because I'm stuck as a werewolf (which really isn't all that bad)... hopefully the upcoming patch fixes this.

'Blood's Honor' Companions Quest-line Glitch Edit
After completion of 'Blood's Honor', you return to Jorrvaskr to hand in your quest to find that the Silver Hand has attacked. After entering, you will recieve completion of your quest from Vilkas, after the dialogue, there is no option to start the new quest; breaking the Companions story-line from progressing. Confirmed many times on (PC, 360) Also occurs on PS3.
I had this happen to me. Then I noticed the place where the next quest is supposed to happen, is the same place where the Jarl of the magic city sends you to get a crown.
If you don't do the crown quest before "Blood's Honor", you get bugged. (has this been confirmed?)
(Which once again proves the "Misc > Side > Main" priority is still around :D)
I had this happen to me, and I didn't have the quest for the crown. However, I cleared the dungeon where it takes place before getting the quest, and I believe that caused the bug.207.91.153.186 21:19, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
PROBLEM SOLVED (PC)
{C I had this problem because i had already cleared out driftshade refuge while i was just adventuring, not knowing it was a quest location. this is how i fixed it:

The only quest bug I think I've had so far is the one in mage college where you help the student with her experiments. The step is "wait for the spell effects to wear off" but that was like 20 levels ago and I can't see a way to progress it, and no dialogue helps.

On the status thing, I've visited plenty of shrines since then, there is no status effect, there's no spell to wear off, I think that's the problem. No way for it to advance. I can only guess I must've cleared it instantly before it had a chance to wear off.

The beast races (Khajiit and Argonian included) are extremely rare in Skyrim, and some players might enjoy the fact of being unique in Skyrim. Khajiit, however, are racially discriminated in certain cities like Whiterun-and Khajiit caravans are forced to take up business outside of the city walls. The exception is, of course, the Dragonborn-as they can enter the city after talking to the guards like anyone else.

blessed%20offal%20nli said:I have prettyhigh smithing but honestly dont even use anything I make. I cant seem to figure out enchanting.
I use all weapons and armor I make/enchant myself. As Martins suggested, working on crafting a Daedric set right now.
For enchanting, it's easy. When you start collecting a good amount of soul gems, don't sell them. Go to a place with an Arcane Enchanter to enchant. (I use Anise's cabin).
There's two things you can enchant - weapons and apparel/armor. Different Soul Gems effect these two categories differently.
With Armor/apparel, the bigger/better the soul the bigger/better the numbers. So for example using a petty soul to enchant your helm with +magika will add 3 magika. Using a GRAND soul will add 30 magika.
With weapons, the damage will not vary as much. Instead, the number of charges will vary. So with a petty soul, your mace will do +16 fire damage for 80 charges, while with a grand soul you'll do +16 damage for 300 charges.
As for soul gems, the most confusing part is that a larger soul gem can hold a smaller soul. For instance, an empty grand soul gem can trap a petty soul. Annoying as fuck when I fill my Black Star and find out it's charged with petty soul.
Does that all make sense? Trying to explain it made me realize it really IS a complicated pain in the ass.

Sorry, you're right. The PC was already fixed. Issue is on PS3 only. Patch was supposed to fix it, but did not.

I think damage is largely determined by your skill level and smithing. For example, my bows do like 30 damage even when I improve them, but my maces currently do close to 100 damage each. And my 1 handed is still relatively low - it levels SLOW when you one hit everything. :(

Best way to lvl up is to fight tough enemies. When youre under lvl35, giants are good for leveling up your character. As long as they dont toss you into space.

I'm not complaining about one-hits. I'm complaining that all my strength is melee, so when the stupid dragon won't land I'm screwed. Not only does my bow do jack shit for damage, I also cannot aim for shit. I need to raise my destruction skill. For now, Elder dragons just keep raping me. I have about 20,000G worth of stuff to sell but I can't even set foot in Riverwood.

I think its dumb that enemies level up with you in games...
Some should be weak, some should be strong and everywhere in between and if you get into a quest and cant beat the enemies, you move on to easier quests until youre strong enough to go back and beat them.
oh well........
also, I'm pretty sure Lydia died on me fighting an elder dragon last night before I fell asleep.
Those mercs you can hire in Inns etc, are they the same as Lydia? like they last until they die or do they only last for a few days or something?

Large Negro Kitty addressed it above. You need to go to the bar in um... Winterhold I believe. There is a mage there who will transport you into the star to defeat the dude who bound his soul to it. Once you kill him, you have a reusable soul gem. You could also take it to the shrine of azura but you already killed them. Only human souls will fill the gem since you can only go to the guy in winterhold.

from the wiki
Followers stagger and kneel when their health reaches zero, and will automatically revive after a short time.
When the Follower gets downed all the enemies will stop attacking them and attack the player.
Followers can be killed by you while kneeling.
Most characters that you can marry can become a follower as well (not all, though).
Followers in Skyrim are set to your level the first time they spawn.
Follower also can be made to steal things, wait in certain areas, sit in chairs, or attack people for you. This can be very useful if you don't possess the skills on your own. Note that if you make a follower steal an item or attack a passive NPC you still acquire the bounty.
Most followers can become Blades, and will be given a free set of Blades armor and a Blades sword. This can be done to up to 3 followers by speaking to Delphine at Sky Haven Temple.
If you start the quest Alduin's Wall and let Esbern and Delphine follow you to the objective you effectively gain two extra human followers who can not die permanently so long as you do not actually attempt to complete the quest. If this is combined with the conjuration perk twin souls, a traditional follower and the purchase of a dog you can bring the total number of creatures following and fighting for you up to six. This can however make it difficult at times to backtrack through doors and passages. (actually you can with skill 90 in conjuration reanimate two conjurors / summoners and have them summon additional two minions in addition with Shadowmare, bring you up to a total of 9 followers)
If told to wait, a follower will wait for about 3 days before they get tired and leave you, they will return to their home or the location you found them in on their own.

Just found a shitty quest bug in Markarth (Dwarf city?)
There's some broad that gets murdered by a forswarn in the market square. Some dude gives you a note to meet him, and sends you on a quest to figure out the forsworn conspiracy. I follow the whole thing, interview people, unravel this whole plot, and am told to return to the dude at the temple.
I get there ... and he's dead. Nada. Two guards standing nearby do nothing. Typical talk about sweetrolls and arrows to the knee. The quest is left hanging at Return to Whatsisbutt.
I looked it up, and there's some guards that are supposed to jump me in the shrine and start the next phase of the quest. But it doesn't happen.
So instead, I dropped 30,000+ on a SWEET FUCKING MANSION in Solitude. I wanted a place with an alchemy table AND an enchanting table. This house is badass.

What I want is a forge, grindstone, an enchanter, and a place to store my shit all real close to each other. When I'm crafting and enchanting I'm usually over-encumbered with ingots. Can't be running to dragonsreach.

Everyone does smithing to 100. Its so over powered and breaks the game imo. I have a lot more challenging, fun and surprise moments upping my lockpicking and theifing skills to find rare random items.

Smithing makes money obsolete. I have almost 200,000G and NOTHING worth spending it on. I make the baddest armor myself.

Blackreach/Blackrock? That's part of the main quest. You're getting ahead of yourself. If you get a Elder Scroll while you're down there, DON'T LOSE IT.

not on master difficulty, i have 100 2 handed, i do a good amount damage against most humans but any vampires or a troll clan i have a hard time with. i'm level 47, the balance is about where i would expect it when i fight groups or fight bosses.

the PC version, if you aren't from the midwest and retarded, is better. your computer can be hooked up to your huge tv as well as your sound system. you can also play with a wireless xbox360 or ps3 controller so you can lay down and play all you want. you also can have a wireless keyboard and mouse if you prefer to play an FPS-like "properly". not to mention that the PC version has MODS that have an infinite amount of potential replay value. the game is going to continue to grow and evolve on the PC (look at Morrowind).
also if you want to be a faggot and complain about the price of a PC that can play this game in ultra (about any PC thats $900+ new now), you can just pirate games to save money. if you also want to further justify that point... lets say you buy a 60 dollar new game every other month... thats 360 bucks. (most gamers pick up far more than just 6 games a year but this is an example.) take the price of the system new, 300 bucks (dont you dare mention the xbox arcade or the cheaper ps3)... thats 660 bucks. PC is only like 400 more. take into account that this is also your computer... so thats another 400 bucks or so for a basic regular computer and it equals out pretty much.

My last gaming rig = $1400. (2005?) Add in about 5 years of upgrades, replacement parts, etc... + monitor, PSU, $100 Razer mouse, etc... = LOTS OF MONEY.
46" LED T.V. - $550
PS3 Slim - $300
Speakers + receiver - $300
Did I miss anything? Curious how your math just doesn't add up.
PC games are superior - GRAPHICALLY. That is all. Development dollars are less. Release dates are later. The fanbase/#of people you know playing one is smaller. Coding is often identical, especially when you buy one of those awesome games that could be 1000 times better on PC, only to find the PC release is nothing but a shitty CONSOLE PORT anyway.
So yeah, other than being able to run huge textures and mods for skyrim (which we're all enjoying mod-free right now anyway)name ONE OTHER GAME in the last year that is worth the purchase on PC vs. console.
I'll give you a hint: Betamax was better than VHS back in the day. It still failed because POPULARITY and COMPATIBILITY go a lot further than TECHNICAL SUPERIORITY.
PC might be a great platform, but until developers and gamers catch onto that, it's still the dead medium it has been for several years now. Just ask the revolving staff of editors and writers at PC Gamer magazine struggling to hold their jobs.

Of course one could be built cheaper now, but who cares? I got tired of shitty ports and half assed developers anyway.

How is it that the people who claim to be such fans of RPG's do not understand this concept? A tank is any character that will cause the NPC's to attack them instead of you, leaving you free to attack the NPC unharmed. Usually it's a character that is capable of taking a lot of damage.

1) not knowing what a tank is has nothing to do with knowing what a tank is. It's an rttp joke, hard to explain
2) action rpgs arent real rpgs
3) The Dog is pointless and has a horrible accent

I learned about tanks from this thread haha. Some thousands of replies ago. His random Boston accent I thought provided a little comic relief and I brought him with me on a ton of quests before actually returning him to Clavicus. He was a great tank and I chose NOT to kill him. I may be all about the Dark Brotherhood but I only kill for hire or when attacked.

For magika boosting, max out your enchanting skill and get the dual effect unlock. Get an enchanter's philter that increases enchantment powers by 20% for 60 seconds, then quickly enchant whatever armor/bling with Fortify Magika and Magika Regeneration. Having the blessing of certain mage stones probably helps with your magika amount too.

I'm def towards the end of the main quest (trap the dragon in Dragonsreach) but I'm gonna put it off and continue on some other side quests.
Finished the Dark Bro Hoods...decorated the shit out of the new hideout.
I've noticed that if i buy or steal a horse, it'll stick around for a while and just appear out of no where when I fast travel (OMG POSER!!) but eventually it'll go away BUT, when I got Shadowmere, that motherfucker has been with me forever...ALWAYS shows up wherever I go.

-do the imperial quests
-do the companion quests
-travel to every city in the game
-do all missions in each city

The main quest was shorter than some mission strings. I find it utterly absurd that all you care about is the main quest when there's 150+ other quests in an open environment with limitless opportunity to expand your character.

i'll give it another shot, after the opening quest i literally ran straight to winterhold and the instant someone called me a nord i said FUCK THIS GAME and did something constructive. maybe with a newer character playing on a patched game i can avoid all the other bugs i had. i never had any performance issues, just quest bugs.

CRT is a much better technology than LCD.
1) Perfect black levels
2) Flawless off-axis viewing
3) Much faster refresh rate than LCD
4) Warmer, more natural image (thanks to scan lines and small granules)
5) Far longer life-span
6) Not subject to manufacture problems such as dead-pixels
7) Good range of compatibility with lower or non-standard resolutions without blurring
Given ultimate space and money the world's best CRT could easily crush the world's best LCD. So tell me /g/, why do you like your inferior screens that companies such as Samsung have brainwashed you to think is better than what already existed? The only cost-savings are on their end.
And the funny thing is you guys keep buying this crappy LCD technology and giving away your free CRTs on Craigslist. A fool and his dollar are soon parted I guess.
And before you start yapping about IPS panels:
Enjoy your slow G2G response to switch pixels already, not to mention that hidden input and scalar lag. Luckily, CRT has no such bullshit.
The only semi-legitimate point I've heard against CRTs regards weight, but you don't bitch about the weight of a prospective couch while furniture shopping, do you? Didn't think so.

At D.I.C.E. 2012, Bethesda Game Studios' Todd Howard just showed an amazing highlight reel of mods the studio built into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim during a week-long "game jam" after the game's release. Features like mounted combat, a lycanthropy skill tree, and one enormous mudcrab, the width of the horizon, were all shown. And that was the tip of the iceberg.
Howard made no promises that anything seen in the demo reel would ever make it into the game, whether as a title update or downloadable content down the line. But it did showcase the depth of what the Bethesda team built and a creative instinct within the team that matches the mod community's enthusiasm, stoked recently by the release of the official Creation Kit.
Some highlights, by no means an exhaustive list:
• Seasonal foliage.
• Spears.
• Kill cams for magic and ranged combat.
• Stealth enhancements such as water arrows.
• Paralysis runes.
• New follower commands for combat style and training.
• Building your own home..
• Goblins.
• Waygate fast travel.
• Mounted combat.
• Dragon mounts.
• Kinect-enabled shouts.
• Enhanced underwater visuals.
• Ice and fire arrows.
• A Werebear.
• Lycanthropy skill tree.
• Becoming a flying vampire, with minions..
• An enormous mud crab.
• "Fat giants."

i'm a bunch of texture and graphics mods, caliente's nude mod, dynamic guards, weather mods, sound effect and soundtrack addons, dance of death killmove+, sky ui, alternate start, midas magic and a few others. my first playthrough i didn't even touch most of the entire west side of the map and now that save file is broken anyway. starting a new game with alternate start mod is a pretty rad.
[Aug 31,2012 4:39pm - ark ""]
oh yeah, also NO FAST TRAVEL mod.
[Aug 31,2012 5:33pm - Alx_Casket ""]
Cool, I'm gonna look into a few of those. The craftable and enchanting freedom mods are awesome. Here's what I'm running:

Where is a good place to download some mods?
Also, no fast travel mod is stupid. If you don't like fast traveling, you can just NOT DO IT, you don't need a mod. Also, I would never play this game without the ability to travel. Tedium does not add to challenge or gameplay at all.
[Sep 1,2012 10:53am - ark ""]
it's part of a hardcore survival mod where you need to worry about food, hypothermia, rest, etc...it's pretty sweet, forces you to play the game differently. like hardcore mode in fallout new vegas
[Sep 1,2012 10:54am - ark ""]
if you have it on pc check the steam workshop, or go to http://www.skyrimnexus.com
[Sep 1,2012 12:24pm - trioxin245 ""]
Hardcore mod actually sounds pretty awesome. I thought you meant it was just a mod that did nothing but get rid of fast travel.

so it turns out I cant do any of the companions quests because of a bug in the Trouble In Skyrim mission...the dude says to kill the leader of dead crone rock but i already killed her...
"While doing jobs for the Companions I am to "Kill the Leader of the Dead Crone Rock". So I head up there and low and behold the leader is already dead laying on the ground and the arrow is pointing over the hags head. I smash, burn, freeze and try to re-animate the corpse with scrolls and spells to no luck. Now I am unable to continue with the Companion quests.
Is there a central place to record all of these so that they can fix these? And forgive me if this is already on this forum. Doing this quickly so I can get back downstairs to continue with other quests."
[Sep 5,2012 6:27pm - ark ""]
that blows, i don't think there's any way around that in the xbox version

Dawnguard is pretty fresh so far. Killing vamps like woah
[Sep 5,2012 7:56pm - Burnsy ""]
You didn't choose to be a vamp? Get the fuck outta hea.
[Sep 6,2012 11:20am - AndrewBastard ""]
i ended up going back and becoming a vamp... its sicck but I hate that its 3rd person and you cant access most of the menus in vamp mode.
[Sep 6,2012 11:35am - Burnsy ""]
Yeah there's really no use for the menu when you're in vamp form though. Werewolf is third person too. I've yet to earn many perks yet as a vamp all in all, I'd say it's way better than being a faggy vampire slayer. The storyline is pretty sweet too.
[Sep 6,2012 11:38am - AndrewBastard ""]
yeah. I wanted to make sex with Serana...
I'm gonna go back and replay the whole game with a completely different style character...i guess the werewolf play is greatly improved with the dawnguard add-on so I'm psyched to finally be able to do those quests.
[Sep 6,2012 12:10pm - the_reverend ""]
Becoming a vampire is why I stopped playing. Got is of it.

AndrewBastard said:yeah. I wanted to make sex with Serana.
Bahahaha. After a few quests together, i asked her about why she always talks about being lonely. She ended up asking if i had family or anyone. An option was, "there's my wife..." i chose "i try not to rely on anyone. Serana a is way more badass than my faggot alchemist wife.

i dont have a wife in Skyrim :(

Also, apparently Hearthfire came out a couple days ago on xbox live. I'm thinking about getting it. You buy a plot of land, design a house and gather the materials you need to build it. Looks boss. I'll finally have some use for all the gold I've collected and won't be limited to the houses offered in the game.
[Sep 6,2012 4:27pm - Alx_Casket ""]
Is Hearthfire coming to PC? It sounds like a more expansive user-made mod that was made a while ago.

No mention of PC or PS3.

Just got married ingame, and my wife disappeared immediately after the ceremony :C
[Oct 11,2012 10:24am - Burnsy ""]
Your wife probably went to your house, bro. She's got dinner to make and a store to run. So selfish.
[Oct 11,2012 10:34am - Alx_Casket ""]
Which house? She's one of the magic bitches from the college, maybe I should check back there.
[Oct 11,2012 10:35am - Burnsy ""]
She's most likely there. Then you can tell her which house to go to.
[Oct 11,2012 10:36am - Alx_Casket ""]
Oh, I will.
[Oct 11,2012 10:42am - Burnsy ""]
Visit her every couple weeks in game time and she'll hook you up with gold.
[Oct 11,2012 10:44am - Alx_Casket ""]
Well she was my follower before I tied the knot, I hope to just get her back into that role.
[Oct 11,2012 10:55am - Burnsy ""]
Not sure you can do that. Even if you can, why the fuck would you marry her if you just want her to be your follower? Marriage isn't about love, you dolt. It's about having her run a store so you can get free gold and pawn your shit off on her.
[Oct 11,2012 11:00am - Alx_Casket ""]
Eh, might as well take all the loot off of her and hire J'zargo. I will never remember to visit my wife. Thanks for the tips!

Getting married is at least worth it for the achievement and the free gold. There is no advantage game wise to Hearthfire.

Haven't played it yet but having a decked out mansion that you design sounds pretty sweet. Adopting a kid is lame though.

Meh to each their own. Soul Cairn was fucking awesome. The imagery alone was enough and I thought the story was great too. I didn't do the actual dawnguard side though. I imagine it was similar to the vampire questline.
