Dragonrend is awesome but it's going to make killing every dragon type I've encountered thus far much too easy.

How much health do you have?

I found Alduin pretty easy, personally. He didn't get his fire onto me that much, though. Once I could get him on the ground, I just did what I do with most dragons - hide around to their side and attack their hind legs. It should also be noted that if he breathes fire, (SPOILER)just use Dragonrend and he'll stop immediately - I don't remember if it stops movement, too, but I know it stops their attacks and stuns them a little so I imagine it would stop them turning to have a shot at you (if you are attacking their hind legs).

I have 290 HP, my MP & Stamina are 290 also. The time Alduin killed me I used Dragonrend on him but he was still able to turn his head & BBQ me!

Looks like I'll be joining you lot soon. /smug

You and your perverse looking smileys.
I know it's supposed to be smug, but it just looks perverted to me. xD

My funniest moment when I stepped out of the Mage's College to be accosted by some Hired Thugs. This confused me because I hadn't nicked anything to my recollection. So I did them in and found the contract note.

"Blah blah blah Daransa nicked me trout so go break her legs

- Bandit Outlaw"

I then remembered that I had, in sneaking around some fort or other, decided I'd pickpocket a little just to get a couple of cheap skill ups. :kakapo:

VENDORS SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN 600 GOLD.

Other than that, does anyone have any suggestions how I can get my work, family, bills and natural biological need for sleep to all LEAVE ME ALONE so I can play more of this game?

Same thing happened again whilst fighting a frost dragon used Dragonrend but the dragon still used breath, not that it mattered against a frost dragon :p

Ooh, just sleep when your family are around. Two birds, one stone!

I'm playing as a Redguard and am disappointed at the lack of racial slurs thrown at me in the street. How am I meant to satiate my need for white guilt?

For racial slurs, become a Thalmor and visit Ulfric or just opt for Khajiit and talk to anyone. Not done it myself, just going by other people's reports...

I didn't think the Thalmor would let anyone join them tbh. I'll have to look into that.

On a character who hasn't killed dozens of the smurfers, obviously.

When I fought Alduin the first time, I had 300 HP and about a total of 40% magical resistance through enchantments. His breath attacks still did about 170% if my max health in damage, so I'd have to use potions that would heal around 100% of my health - in the middle of the attack - just to survive at all.

Get the PC version! You can't kill and undress the children without mods! =(

...

...just so you know. :|

Too late, he's already getting the 360 version. :p

I had about 300HP fighting Alduin the first time, but didn't really have a massive problem. Spellbreaker takes care of a lot of that. I also had some amulet that gave +30 to Health, Stamina and Magica. Dragonrend, as mentioned, stopped his flame attacks. Finally, my sword has two enchantments - one being Fiery Soul Trap (best thing ever) and the other being Absorb HP, so fighting him would regenerate my health.

I pretty much don't play PC games. I only have Portal because it was free.

So you fought him with alot of the same apparel as I did. Those enchantments on your 2 swords sound like a good way to go alright!
