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 :pQuote:

and natural biological need for sleep
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! =(Quote:

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!Quote:

I just gave up on selling crap, personally. I just hoard money and make or find everything I need. All my crap? The drawers/cupboards in the Arch-Mage are for, left to right: ingredients, apparel, weapons. The safe is for scrolls, the end-of-bed chest is for potions. Barrel for food, which more often than not I just throw away anyhow. Books go in the chest above the bookcase over at Breezehome in Whiterun. Misc goes into the storage on the left just as you enter that home.
Pickpocketing got me loaded, and at some point you get deep pockets which increases your carrying capacity by 100, which is far better than wasting my points on Stamina upping capacity by a measly 5 at a time. What do you guys buy anyway? I have about 30,000 last I checked and only really spend money on leveling my alchemy or when a horse dies.
I'm a pure mage, which is fun. Working towards 100% spell absorption right now. Bit of a shame I wasted some perks in useless things.
Any tips for working on the pickpocket skill, getting caught & having to kill everybody then pay a fine helps nobody :p
Note the % of chance you'll get caught for a start. Practice on people in the middle of nowhere or alternatively, do what I did if you're up for a lot of saving and loading and practice in the Markarth Guard Tower (right at the top). There are often around six guys there sleeping. Pocket them all, dump the stuff on the ground, wait 6-12 hours, pocket the next shift of guards who are having their nap. :) Easily the best spot to level Sneak, too. I started off saving every one item, then as I got on I started saving for every three or four items pocketed. When you're getting higher in level, start wandering castles, palaces and the like (basically wherever a Jarl lives in a major town) and pocket everyone there, you can usually get a good spot to hide for every individual there, and they often sleep in these locations as well.
Cheers I'll start leveling up Sneak as well so, I'm at level 44 now & alot of the skills I use constantly have hit 100. I've finished the main companions quest, the dark brotherhood, college of winterhold & I'm nearing the end of the Thieves Guild & Main Story quests. I never thought I'd say it but apart from levelling stats I'm running out of things to do in this game as strange as that might sound :/Quote:

what Bob said works. I did mine going sneaking (using the muffle spell - helps a lot) at night in Winterun, leveling sneaking, illusion (muffle) and lockpicking at the same time (use lockpicking potions to get inside the houses, pickpocket sleeping folks). got them all to above 60 in no time :DQuote:

Muffle shuffle is great for getting Illusion up anyway, so it's worth doing if you want to get some really cheap skillups.
I just dual shot Courage at a sleeping dude for a half hour to get my Illusion to 100. He had extremely courageous dreams that night.
xD
I've barely touched Illusion at all. Every now and then I conjure a Flame Atronach (they make excellent decoys when you're against tough enemies), but beyond that, nada. I used Detect Life to boost my Alteration, it was needed when fighting the civil war missions (to more easily tell enemies apart) and also was helpful for the thief's guild missions. But post level 50, leveling up for perks is a bitch so I stopped bothering. Everything was easy by then anyway, although I do wish I'd got some things boosted a bit more, such as Archery, Destruction and Restoration.
Conjuring things is in the school of Conjuration, BoB. :colbert:
Master level Illusion spells are quite possibly the most hilarious in the game.
I know, I know. I probably should have made a more obvious note that I was talking about Conjuration at that point.
Illusion: Barely touched.
Conjuration: Occasional Flame Atronachs and nothing else.
Alteration: Detect Life.
Destruction/Restoration: Low level spells.
Better.
Just finished the Dark Brotherhood quest line. I think that about wraps it up for stuff that I care to do in this game.
I really liked this Dark Brotherhood quest line. I could have done without Cicero's voice to be honest, though. :\
I don't think Cicero's voice would have been so painfully awkward if he actually had the animation (especially facial animation) to match his eccentricity. But yeah: the Dark Brotherhood was my favorite quest line in the game, easy.
Derp AI is funny. When I had the dog follow me, I used the jumping glitch to get up a piece of mountain, and then watched as the dog ran off into the horizon to find a way to me.
After about 15 minutes of hopping up the mountainside, the dog fell past me and did it all over again.
I just finished leveling up my blacksmithing and enchanting to 100 and can make some killer Legengary Dragonscale armor with two enchantments on them. Now my Adept spells cost nothing to cast, magika regeneration is insanely fast and I have superior thieving skill enhancements.
Playing the equivalent of a battlemage btw.
My copy just came in the mail. :monster:
Any tips for a newbie adventurer?
go one handed light armor, keep all stats level, save your skill points till later except for the add damage or armor efficiency.
Go two-handed, heavy armor, focus on a single stat, use up your skillpoints immediately.
:greenie:

Level 31 currently I own two houses one in Whiterun and the other in Solitude. I've completed the Dark Brotherhood questline and the Civil War questline. I love the game and wish my gf would let me play more xD
For a Bosmer Assassin, I am surprisingly hardy in a straight up fight. Magic has been thoroughly neglected so that I can just stab the smurf out of people.
Also I am in love with the Nightingale armour.
I have this game now. I played about two hours of it and it is glorious. I can't wait to play more tomorrow :excited:
I made a Khajit because I wanted to be a tabby cat with a battleaxe.
Mine is a khajit too, they rock... increased run speed, claws, night vision <3Quote:

Because a thief needs style, I've enchanted fine clothing and gold/gemmed jewelry with a mix of sneak, pickpocket and lockpicking bonuses and give them all a prefix of "Locke's ...".

I've heard some stuff about corrupted auto-saves so what are the PS3 players experiences here?
The new Patch fixes some crashes but adds a new crash when steping in between two rocks with a certain quest activated, I tested the bug 6 times and it is only when you walk between the two rocks near windhelm. the quest in question is one of the civil war chapters
Great, thanks. I spent most of the afternoon playing. Much nicer now that I can just tank through frost enemies like I had originally planned. And now that I've upgraded my Smithing to Elven I can be both devastating and fancy in battle.
On my third restart.
1. Mage. Realised Breton is now crap.
2. Mage. Found High Elf to be awesome, but realised that magic schools are a waste of perks.
3. Mage. Some perks into Archery, Pickpocket, Sneak, Enchanting and Smithing. Saving the rest for when I need them.
The game is much more fun, though I mourn the loss of the backwards flying dragons :(.
Recently saw a video on YouTube on ridiculously powerful weapons. Had a bow doing over 1000 damage! So I'm definitely gonna be making that near endgame. xD
there is a weapon floating around called U mad? that someone made
it does 358 fire, 358 lightning, and 358 ice with every hit. probably takes the whole soul power with one shot.
But that's wrong.Quote:

Son, if you're going Mage and not spending all your points in Magicka perks then something is deeply weird. What the hell ARE you spending your points on?
[QUOTE=I'm my own MILF;3043637]Extra damage, dual-cast and impact are the only ones that's really needed as far as Destruction goes. Cheaper spellcasting can easily be achieved with enchantments and the "special effects" like Disigenerate are not helpful either, save maybe the ice-one that can paralyze enemies. And even if you go "mage", you can still use heavy armor and such, making Mage Armor unnecessary.Quote:

...and while I could see the "50% magic cost" perks being useful for an all-out mage who doesn't use any actual weapons at all and doesn't use lots of enchantments that lowers the casting cost... you actually have to spend a whole 5 skill points to make all the spells in a single school cost 50% less. If a single skillpoint made all the spells in a magic school cost 25% less, then 50% with a second upgrade, it would be worthwhile. But 5 skill points is too much, when you can just use enchantments instead. Well, if you ask me anyway.
As for other skills... if you go heavy/light armour mage - which is more effective than "no armour mage" - then you want to spend some skillpoints in the armour perks. Alchemy is always good for a mage too, since that's the only way to further increase the destruction damage + restore magicka quickly. So that's another non-magic skill you'd want to put skillpoints in.
Actually... "one-handed" and "archery" are also worthwhile to put skill points in for a mage who uses "bound weapons". =O
Yeah but by the time you get to the point where you can make that much spell cost reduction gear, of that quality, you're not going to need any perks in any trees at all except enchanting.
True. I'm only speaking from a maximizing perspective. During the lower levels, when low-level spells still are useful, it's probably worthwhile. But later on, when your levels are high enough, most of those perks will be completely useless. So how quickly one levels up is an important factor.Quote:

Then again, I also went "sword-mage" and not pure mage.
Aye. I did the normal playthrough. Now I'm on my uber-playthrough, so spell cost doesn't matter. Magic school is relatively meaningless now. My intended definite perks are:
Smithing - Heavy armour and dragon + enchanted.
Enchanting - strength up to dual enchant.
Archery - up to 50% slow time.
Destruction - to Impact.
Pickpocket - up to Extra Pockets.
Sneak - up to 15x damage.
Speech - up to the buy/sell anything perk.
I'm saving the rest. I suppose I was misleading earlier. I am a stealth/mage, in the sense of I stealth around ninjaing the crap out of everyone, but when it hits the fan I revert to pure mage and blow them all up. Sometimes killing my followers. But that Khajiit deserved it: he kept getting stuck and moving in the way at the worst possible time. He died a hilarious death, at least.
I'm considering the Alchemy stuff for hyper equipment, but I'm not sure; I might leave that for the next playthrough. I think to get that stuff done properly - nice and early - you need to focus solely on Alchemy, Smithing and Enchanting, doling out perks only to those skills. Then your super character will have it all at level 22, and will be able to focus on damage upgrades etc. afterwards.
Double post for amazingness.
I just found a gay couple who had committed suicide together.
That reminds me of when I ran into a couple who had run away from home to be together (their father clearly not approving), only to be mauled by a bear. And also (:() Meeko's Shack.
The little things that make this game so amazing.
Which is Meeko's? (SPOILER)Tree fell onto it?
xD!! That's hilarious!
I've beaten a majority of the lengthy quest lines and have taken to seeing how far I can Shoutstains out of my clothingpeople off of high places.
Was there a reason OTHER then they were gay? If not it's kind of stupid, considering how many women your woman character can boink without anyone in the world raising an eyebrow. :pQuote:

I have invented a novel way to travel: hurling myself into a river and letting the current take me where I need to go. It's even more fun when I go over huge waterfalls :D
I also encountered my first giants, but I had a plan to take them down.
THE PLAN:
Cover an arrow with frenzy poison, and stealthily fire it at a giant. He will then go crazy, and he and his pal will pummel the crap out of each other. I will finish off the weakened loser with some more stealthily fired poisoned arrows. I will then teabag their corpses, triumphant and smug.
THE REALITY:
Covered an arrow with frenzy poison, and stealthily fired it at a giant. He and his friend, instead of fighting each other, come sprinting over to me and I get blasted 100ft into the air by their clubs. :shobon:
On my stealthy character, I steal every single piece of cheese I can find. Every. Single. Piece. I'm hoping by the end of the game to have enough that I can drop it all and make a mountain out of it. I might bury Farengar under it.
I got the first shout. Now I am running around bellowing it everywhere, causing chaos and bedlam wherever I go. I went into the market square in Whiterun and let me tell you there are cabbages everywhere :jess:
Tamriel's biggest jerk, right here.
go to high hrothgar to get a version that lets you throw people as well, just go there, do one quest, return, and tadaa! people launching
Finished the main quest, the Civil War, and got married all the last few days. Very eventful. It was destiny I'm convinced.
Okay so after owning Alduin I thought it would be my duty to finish off the last few forts of Stormcloak scum for the Imperials. I happened to be way in the north and on my way to Solitude I figured I'd jump into one of the Dwemer ruins to recover Mjoll the Lionness's sword for her, like she asked. I did so, loved the Dwemer ruins, and discovered that (SPOILER)the Dwemer ruins in the north all connect to an underground kingdom. When I first went down to Blackreach I had no idea why it had to be so big, but now I saw and was amazed. Holy Final Fantasy 4.
Anyway so I got my orders from Colonel Tigh in Solitude and traveled to Riften so I could get a-hikin' over to the Imperial camp to meet Rikke. But, suddenly, as I'm returning to Mjoll to give her her sword an Elder Dragon attacks inside Riften. Chaos ensues. Guards are shouting. The dragon perches on the blacksmith's house and starts just roasting the central market while all the guards and Mjoll and myself spread out and start trying to fend it off with arrows. It takes to the sky, but I Dragonrend it back to the ground and as it lands just outside the orphanage the whole rabble of us catch up and butcher it to pieces.
As I absorb the soul, everyone stands around amazed but I spy some fatalities being tended to in the charred market. Among them is Aerin, Mjoll's companion who saved her from the Dwemer ruin where she lost her sword. After a moment of silence (in which I tinkered with some equipment) I headed over to Mjoll and returned her sword. She was grateful and offered to accompany me as a companion. Since Aerin was dead, I figured she'd need a shoulder to rest on. Along she goes with me after I cook her up some sweet elven equipment.
So we travel the Rift and she tells me about Aerin when I stop to pack her down with equipment. We slay two dragons together and clear out a mine full of spiders. At this point, I'm taking a liking to this unfortunate and now alone-in-the-world Mjoll gal with the legendary elven warhammer. We arrive at the Imperial camp and are sent to clean up Fort Amol of Stormcloak filth, which we do with the hilarious help of Odahviing, who racks up even more kills than Me the Manbutcher.
Returning to camp to inform Rikke of our victory she sends us to Windhelm to put the finishing touches on Ulfric the traitor. Mjoll and I stroll there and as we approach the city (becoming more acquainted as she regales me with tales of how her father used to be a hunter (over and over again)) we find fire and wreckage. Colonel Tigh is at the gates rallying the troops and when he's done we storm the gates and murder everyone in Windhelm. We arrive at Ulfric's palace where he refuses to accept surrender. After a short battle, he is defeated and I land the last blow on the Sovngarde-ready Jarl. I'm hailed as a hero and in the euphoria I take Mjoll back to Riften and propose at the temple of Mara. We set up the wedding for the next day, so in the meantime we hunt a dragon together as our last tour of duty as singles. We get back to Riften and are joined in holy matrimony, Mjoll wearing the leather studded armor that recalls the wonderful moment we first met, and me in Ulfric's robe (which I made a point to keep instead of just taking and leaving it in a nearby fireplace or tossing off a cliffside as per usual after a murder).
Afterwards, Mjoll and I head over to the late Aerin's house to start our life together. A smurfing dump, so I suggest we move to my place in Whiterun. And there we live happily ever after making sweet love in my bedroom piled halfway up the wall with dragon claw keys. Also Hadvar has a habit of dropping by Whiterun, falling from the sky and then following me around town with his weapon drawn. Oh, Hadvar. :kakapo:
Yeah, using Frenzy poison was actually I thought of as well the second time I was going to fight giants. But their level is too high, and no Frenzy poison I could find would work on them. =(Quote:

Also, I guess I'm a werewolf now.
Also got this for christmas, am enjoying it so far. The sheer scale of the game is awesome, been rinsing it for two days straight and have done pretty much bollock all. I started off with my character being some armour laden warhammer toting drunken asshole, basically Robert Baratheon from SoIaF, but just before I turned off for today joined the Dark Brotherhood and stole/got given a bunch of all this crazy hax enchanted assassins armour, so I think I am going to go around stabbing people with daggers for a bit. I would love to smith and enchant some insanely hax weapons and armour but god damn if it isn't a pain in the arse to do. So much faff. Also I am crap at pickpocketing which is annoying because I want to be good at it, so I can go around and reverse pickpocket fish and troll skulls into random NPC's pockets, just for the fun of it.
I... I have done so much. I need to do some more daedric quests but seriously I've adventured the smurf out of everywhere. I think it's about time I settle down, get married, and then kill everything.

All this talk of cats - I have not seen a single Khajit since I started. Someone please tell me where I can find one. I have been told there's a gang of them outside Whiterun and a band of them roving around trading, but I have not seen either.
today I have:
Begun my work as an assassin for the brotherhood. I have established my M.O for my jobs and hope that this will lead to my deeds planting fear into the hearts of all in Skyrim. I will don my brotherhood outfit, travel to where my victim lives, introduce myself by staring at them and saying nothing. Wait until nightfall, break into their house and then backstab them while they sleep. Relieve them of their clothes, don them myself and then dance around their home covering them with cheese, meat, wooden bowls and books and then make my escape. Been very successful so far, although IDK if that is going to work on my next job. We shall see.
Unlocked the full three word version of Unrelenting Force, and so obviously ran around shouting bears down waterfalls and guards off of watchtowers and other things of that nature. I do love that shout. It's pretty much the perfect response to any query or insult or greeting anyone in the game world gives you.
Went on a break-in and pickpocketing spree in Whiterun, which lead to a rather disturbing incident when I broke into the alchemist shop at about 2 am in the morning and was somewhat unnerved to hear the owner talking to me like she normally does in the daytime, even though she wasn't anywhere to be seen. I went upstairs and into her room to find her sound asleep, but periodically spouting out her generic "i've got all the potions you need" stuff. It gave me the heebie jeebies, so I just looted her store of everything in it and left.
I also joined the werewolf club. I love being a werewolf, apart from having to deal with that silver hand base because I was getting my ass kicked horribly. That krev the skinner asshole was a proper pain in the arse, took me a few attempts to take him down but I finally did it and then went off on my merry old way being all part wolf and what have you. I quite like the daft wolf related lines the guards in cities drop on you. YOU SMELL LIKE WET DOG HA HA, IS THAT FUR I SEE IN YOUR EARS?? my favourite part of my whole evening was right before I turned off for the day, I strolled into the Inn in Markarth and asked the old bard dude for a tune. he broke out his lute and started jamming and everyone gathered around to cheer and listen, while King Robert (me) took off all his clothes, sank a few bottles of wine and danced around like a lunatic on the bar. Unfortunately I think he had one too many because he decided it would be more entertaining if all this was going on while he was a werewolf. Obviously, this didn't really sit well with the other patrons, especially when he started roaring and chasing them all over the inn, tearing them to shreds and eating them. With the people already inside and guards slowly filtering in from outside I think he managed to get through about 20 people before they decided it was not such a good idea to come in anymore. I followed them out, pinned the pub owners daughter to the ground and ripped her apart in front of them and then the guards finally managed to get me down when I was attacking someone who I think must have been an important NPC because they took a knee and just refused to die and it confused me. Either way, it was a very fun way to end the day. Bastards of Markarth, thought they had issues with the Forsworn until drunk naked werewolf Robert Baratheon rolled into town.
I do enjoy this game somewhat. :shobon:
I ran into a band of them earlier but now I can't remember where.Quote:

Yeah there's a couple of roaming caravans of them. One goes between Riften andQuote:

You'll find them outside the main gates of all the major capitals (Whiterun, Windhelm, Solitude, etc.). They have little camps set up on the paths leading away from the cities, so just keep an eye out. The ones at Solitude always seem to be there (coming out of the city, they're on your left past the first arch). The Whiterun crew is sometimes not there at all. I actually ran into them today as they were "arriving" at the Whiterun gate. I watched them chat with each other for a bit but I don't think they'll actually start putting up their tents or anything.Quote:

I can't say for absolutely certain, but I'm 95% sure that they don't make appearances at the smaller capitals (minus Dawnstar, where I run into them frequently). I've never seen them at Winterhold or Morthal. I doubt they ever appear at the hamlet towns like Riverwood or Shor's Stone.
Hope this helps. Warm sands. :cool:
Thank you for your kind tips. I have done all that you have said but still have not encountered Khajiit. I thought I heard one but I think it was a guard clearing his throat. Don't worry about me folks, I'll persevere! I will not be defeated in my quest to see a Khajiiit. I don't actually know what I'll do when I actually meet one. Probably punch it in the face for putting me to all this trouble.
edit: AND RIGHT AS I POST THAT, GUESS WHAT I JUST SAW! :jess:
Could have sworn there was one of them suckers in the bar in Solitude and another in the bar in Winterhelm. And was there one in the thieves guild? It would be weird without having one in the thieves guild... but then, I can't remember seeing one there at all. x_x
theives guild is all humans. there is one in the brotherhood, and 1/3 of all assassins you encounter in the wild are kajiit
Trolls are utter perverts. I was scoping out a bandit tower, ready to make the world's most unbelievable sneak arrow shot, when I hear some really heavy breathing. I slowly turn around. On a ledge above me, is a troll, staring at me, grunting. I think it was jerking it. :|
Screenshot or it didn't happen.
Almost every companion is a dick. When you ask them to hold your stuff, they're all "the smurf should I hold this for?". Yeah? Well smurf you guys, there's a new cat in town, and his name is Khajiit. My Khajiit friend never complained. "I will shoulder some of your burden" he'd say, happily. All I had to do was get him his Moon Amulet, et voila, we're best buds. Oh, we went everywhere, that Khajiit of some name and I. However, tragedy struck as we fought against a teleporting Gaulderson! I was waiting back, firing arrows and magic, while my best buddy distracted them with the old "sword to the face" trick; "Khajiit, you magnificent bastard!" I cried, as Dashwoodian as I could manage. The Gaulderson spectre is on the ground, weakened. It looks at me: time freezes, my hand blazes. I loose the Firebolt straight at him. An explosion blinds me!
When my eyes finally refocus, I see a horrible purple and black shadow slowing fading and reappearing threefold all over the dungeon. I don't understand! I saw the explosion connect! I look around to try to figure out what happened, and it is then that I discover the horror that I have unwittingly committed. My Khajiit, bloodied and broken, his warriors face locked in rage. I look away quickly, vanquish that foe that vanquished my friend, loot everything and flee, my thoughts focused on one haunting question...
Was he angry at me, or at the spirit that manipulated us? I will never find out. I will never be able to apologise.
I spend the next few days tracking his old crew: the merchants he was once guarding from dragons. I find them outside Dawnstar. They look at me as if to say "we understand". I speak to them, try to bring up the topic and beg for forgiveness, but they are obviously shocked as they simply repeat the same sentence over and over. Where words cannot communicate, actions must suffice. I take the Moon Amulet, my old friend's most treasured possession, his last memento of his former home, from my pocket and stare at it as if trying to will him back into existence through the amulet's sapphire eye. Hoping that it will one day find his mother, I hand it to the merchant he once protected.
She will not find it till the morning. But I hope that when she sees it, in as pristine condition as the day it was made, she will know that there are some in these barren lands who do not loathe or stigmatise the Khajiiti, that not all High Elves are oppressive wankers. She will know that her old friend died doing what he lov- oh smurf! She caught me pickpocketing! Fortunately, her ex-guard is an ex-Khajiit, and there is nobody around to witness my almighty nighttime smiting.
Rest in peace, old friends. You are together now. And I have a nifty little amulet!
^ An epic tale Stiltzquin, well told.
I really love this game. I don't even know how many hours I have in playing it. XD Some of the glitches in this game are very amusing and the things you can do to the npc's are just too brilliant. Hints this picture for those of you who haven't stumbled across it yet.

We spent 2 hours trying to get the house carl in whiterun to leave my freaking room and when she wouldn't my boyfriend ended up killing her and tossing her body in her room. haha
Oh... has anyone tried getting married in this game yet??
I am level 13 now.
And I feel good about myself for hiking it all the way up to High Hrothgar. That was a pretty cool trek.
I am now on a hunt for bears because some chick wants me to bring her ten (I think? Or eight? Something) bear pelts. Of course the moment you get a quest for them, they all go into hiding. :shifty:
So how often do you get hired thugs after you for stealing people's trout? I had to kill three mercs after doing the Golden Claw quest for stealing from Faendal. Or whatever his name is
I think I have a huge stash of bear pelts tucked away. Every time I see a bear I have to skin it, or a pelt lying around in someone's house I have to steal it, but I can't bear (:jess:) the weight. So I end up dumping them back home whenever I go back there. I should really finish that sidequest.Quote:

I also had a Dark Brotherhood assassin after me, but I don't know who wanted me dead. I'm one of them now anyway, so it's not a problem for me anymore!
I've only been jumped once for stealing as well, by the owner of the inn in Solitude. It pissed me off because I didn't actually get caught stealing, I was just walking around and saw one of those business ledgers you can forge numbers in so I just pressed it to see what the point was, and then someone called me out and I got arrested. I paid my bounty off and everything so I thought I was cool, went out and did a big dungeon, fast travelled back to Solitude and got immediately jumped by three assholes. When I found out it was the owner of the inn who ordered the beating, I went straight back there, hired a room, followed him up to my room, closed the door behind us and caved his skull in with my warhammer. That learned the prick. :colbert:
I was accosted by some hired thugs when I was leaving the College in Winterhold. I did them in, read the note, and discovered that I had gravely offended Bandit Outlaw.

Well I guess I won't stop stealing people's stuff then. :monster:
Just did the Skooma Cat's quest. A bittersweet moment when he mentions "Butterflies, a Fox, severed heads and cheese." THAT WAS MEEEEEEE! :( They've also changed the voice actor it seems. From the amazing Shivering Isles Sheogorath to some... weird voiced... thing.
Recently started a few new playthroughs. One as Lurtz the Uruk-Hai, just for fun. I'm going to chase children around shouting "FIND THE HALFLING! GRUUUUGH! FIND THE HALFLING!". A more in depth playthrough is to be my new Khajiit, Renrij-Dar. Gonna focus on making the ultimate stealth/assassin/thief character, rather than my current mage/archer hybrid. Finally, I'm experimenting with creating Herbert "Daring" Dashwood. He'll have a Orc follower when I get him finished.
Speaking of hired thugs and marriage...
Hilarious Skyrim wedding... or how marriage works in Skyrim - YouTube
^-> Best marriage ever. =D
Hahaha so the priest hired thugs to beat the hell out of the guy at his wedding and then gets uppity about it being ruined? Genius.
xD
Who were those Khajiit?
Today I Fus-Ro-Dah'd a guy off of a cliff.
And laughed heartily.
And bought a house.
And furnished about half of the house.
And spent about twenty minutes trying (and failing) to set my Butterfly in a Jar upright on a table.
And wondered WHY ON EARTH LYDIA WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WOMAN YOU'VE GOT YOUR CORNER IN THE LOFT GET OUT OF MY BEDROOM.
Haha, shouting people off of cliffs. I usually spend at least a few hours a day committing a crime in Markarth so I can shout all the guards off the ledge with the guard tower.
If you shut your door (or kill Lydia) she wont' go in your room anymore.
Companions in this game are so smurfing trout. I deck them out in smurfing legendary steel plate armour made by me, Mr Level 100 smith (oh yeah I got to level 100, did I say? :cool:) and yet all it takes is a lone bandit to attack them, or a wolf to bite them, or a smurfing butterfly to flap its wings and they go down. Is my game glitched or are they absolutely pathetic for everyone else?
Speaking of butterflies... I shot a dragonfly out of the air with my bow today :aimsun:
^ That's really weird. Mjoll and I travel the countryside doing various jobs, the two of us decked out in full legendary glass armor with weapon enchantments. She's a tank and totally holds her own when it comes to fisticuffs.
Maybe you've given your companions equipment with which they aren't trained? I know a lot of characters have specific skills leveled up. Mjoll has a high two-handed level, for example.
The guy I was with... Astith possibly (Dark Elf member of the Companions) is a trainer in One-Handed up to Level 75. I know he knew how to handle the Glass Sword I gave him yet he barely made a dent in anything. I must be glitched!
Just did a dungeon full of witches and a Hagraven. I kept nailing the Hagraven (not like that!) and every time I did she'd teleport to the next room of witches. Finally caught up with her on top of a rather high ledge. Didn't take any chances this time. Snuck up right behind her and shouted her right off. Felt damned satisfying :D
Oh Christ I detest the Falmer so strongly. Just had a dungeon FULL of the bastards, including one who had a ward spell strong enough to resist my Dragon Shouts. :Oo:
I had a dungeon with them where they kept dropping down from the god damn ceiling. Scared the everloving trout out of me each time.Quote:

If you like the guy you have though, just give him the final Dragon Mask which has a chance to heal and damage enemies. C:
Also, I read all about the Falmer and now I don't hate them quite as much. :C
What's everyone's problem with the Falmer? They're blind. Just sneak around and shoot them point blank in their stupid ugly eyeballs.
Took on two dragons and a sabre cat today at the same time. Felt pretty boss. (Went through about a million potions in the process, though.)
Am currently working through the quest that involves getting drunk and waking up on the other end of the map. It is glorious.
They are, but the game doesn't treat them as blind. they are still easier to evade in the dark, and if they were truely blind, you could put on shoes with muffle and walk right through every dungeon.
"Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't!"
Words I have heard a dozen times or more, and once again the taunt rang out as I walked through the marketplace. But this time, something was different. This time my artifact Daedric Mace connected with Nazeem's head before he finished his sentence, sending it flying clean off. I then casually paid off the 1000 gold bounty like it wasnt no thang, and considered it money well spent.
When I returned, everyone was standing over the corpse, rubbing the crotch. I helpfully stripped him and then hauled the body down to the little stream near the entrance, and dumped it in. I then conducted a thorough search for his head, finding it on a roof. Not finished there, I went over to the meat stall, took a leg of goat from a plate, and replaced it with Nazeem's head. Jackass for sale! Get your fresh jackass! Incidentally his widow watched me do this and gave me a death glare. That was awkward. It then rolled off, was kicked by a running child, and now I can't find it anywhere. :shobon:
summary: smurf nazeem
"Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh what am I saying - of course you don't..."
"I actually advise the Jarl on political matters. My input is invaluable, of course. But this is all probably a bit over your head."
"Oh, it took years, but I earned my way to the top. I own Chillfurrow Farm, you see. Very successful business. Obviously."
I couldn't take it anymore. Every time I was in Whiterun, just going about minding my own business, forging daggers to enchant and sell or doing jobs for the companions, He was there. He couldn't just let me be. He had to pass comment in that condescending way of his every. single. time. I'd had enough.
And I tried, believe me I tried to do it nicely. Cleanly. I tried every way I could think of. I snuck in with enchanted gear and tried to backstab him when he was alone. I tried hiding in a corner opposite his bed where I was unseen, to shoot him with an arrow. But every time, one thing or another foiled me. Be it his annoying wife who would be outside then teleport into a corner of the room when I tried running in and backstabbing him as he slept, thinking he was alone. Her being asleep next to him and waking up even though I was silent and efficient. Worst of all, the filthy wood elf shop owner who chased me around the building, standing and staring at me silently at every turn. Ten times I tried to give him a peaceful death, ten times I failed. Eventually I snapped, as any man would. If they weren't going to let me do it the easy way, I'd do it my way.
There were no daggers. There was no sneaking. I marched into the Drunken Huntsman, my warhammer at the ready. I strolled up the stairs, into his bedroom and caved his skull in with one blow. His wife screamed and pulled a knife, I didn't care. The elf tried to shoot me with a bow, I didn't care. When the guards came for me, I happily paid my bounty and followed them to dragonsreach. But that was not the end of it, oh no. As soon as I was done, I went right back. His mangled carcass was still there on the bed just where I'd left it, with the idiot elf staring silently and his grieving wife looking over him. I stripped him of all his possessions, Including that fancy pants snazzy outfit he liked so much, which I put on myself. The protestations of his widow fell on deaf ears as I dragged his corpse downstairs, towards the Huntsmans cooking pit. Mute elf had returned to his spot behind the counter now, still watching on as I threw Nazeem's body over the spit and proceeded to pincushion it with arrows. This is where it will stay, as a warning to all Whiterun. This is what happens when you push a man to his limits. I went back upstairs and teabagged the widow, just to drive the point home, and then I left.
But I will be back Whiterun. I will be back. And you will not ask me about the smurfing Cloud district ever again. :colbert:
I love you guys and look forward to contributing my own Nazeem story in the future.
Zug no understand funny man. Funny man keep talking. Zug get hungry. Zug kill man and put body in fire to cook flesh. Breezehome smell good.
I don't have a cool story, but I got really tired of all the smug trouts in Whiterun and ended up shouting them and smashing faces with a mace. I killed a couple people whose names escape me right now.
I don't have enough money to pay off that bounty so I had to reload an earlier save to keep going. :(
I did several new and exciting things in my session today, including:
Meeting the Falmer for the first time. They are hilariously stupid. I was in my sneak gear, my follower was in heavy armour, they charged her, I stabbed them. I quite enjoyed myself!
I also met my first Thalmor, and didn't leave a good impression. I was randomly just wandering the areas around Whiterun killing things to fill up soul gems when I saw fire and flailing swords off to the left, so I ran over to investigate. On arrival I found two dead stormcloaks, and saw three Thalmor Justicars sauntering away into the distance. I did not approve of this, and charged them without giving them a chance to explain themselves. One minute they were smugly walking back to wherever the tit they came from, next thing they knew they were arse over tit 30 feet away and being stabbed to death by a frenzied drunken dragon shouting nord. I look forward to seeing their response!
Nazeem's wife sent a bunch of thugs after me, to avenge her dear husband. I rent them asunder, and co-incidentally just happened to be outside chillfurrow farm. Piled up their corpses and left the contract note on top as a nice present for her when she gets back. :)
also while I was randomly wandering and filling soul gems I had my first real getting hilariously lost in Skyrim moment and I loved it. One minute I was outside Whiterun killing mudcrabs, and then there was a chain of events that went something like "oooh sabre cat! *kill*" "oooh wolf! *kill* "woooow mammoths! *admire*" "FROST TROLL!! *kill*" and then I realised I was in the middle of some smurfing snowed in forest in the middle of a blizzard, and I had no idea where I was. Behind the frost troll was a tomb or fort of some kind, and I could see some bandits. Surely nothing could go wrong if I jumped in to smash them down? The first two went down easily, and then a bandit chief came steaming in out of nowhere, while I was wearing my bitch gear instead of my proper armour. I was getting my ass handed to me, doing virtually no damage and having heaps taken off. I desperately looked through my inventory for something to bail me out of the situation...THE WABBAJACK! it had let me down so far with mainly poncy fire spells and none of the funny tit, but surely in this situation it would save me? I had almost no health left and shot the chief. Random fire spell, tit. Even less health, shot the chief. smurfing random daedra dremora demon is spawned and immediately kills the tit out of the bandit chief. I was still in the middle of screaming smurf YEAH as it turned around and caved my face in and killed me with one shot. Asshole. Was still funny, mind.
I ended the day going to Riverwood to see Ralof who was sure to be proud of me for being a Stormcloak now, but he wasn't there. This was upsetting but I thought i'd just leave and get on with it. As I left the house he shared with his sister and her husband I saw a chicken right in front of me, and I had my warhammer out. Chicken Polo? This surely can't go wrong! But no, apparently people don't like it when you kill their chickens. The aforementioned husband came steaming in, and was promptly massacred by Lydia. Two more followed him in and both went down with one swing apiece of my warhammer. I had a sudden rush of blood to the head, realising how weak the people of Riverwood were compared to my armoured god of death. I couldn't help it. I slaughtered all of them. Hunted them down like pigs, if they hid inside they were chased inside and none were spared. The only two people left alive in Riverwood are the now oprhaned children. All over a chicken. :shobon:
finally, this actually happened the other day but I forgot to post about it but it's too great to not mention. I was travelling to High Hrothgar a lot and getting power word locations from the greybeards, hunting down dragons and unlocking some new shouts. I can't remember which location it was, but I was on my way to one of them and when I got closer to the word wall I could see the dragon in the distance already going mental, spamming breath and flying around in battle mode. This confused me some what so I made my way in cautiously. As I got close enough for it to register as an enemy, I was pretty surprised to see it had virtually no health left. This was even more worrying. What the smurf could have screwed this Dragon up so badly that by the time I got to it it only took me two blows to fell it (as a pretty low level character with crappy equipment)? I searched the entire area, and what do you think I found? An army of Frost trolls? A dremora? Dwarvern Centurion? Nope. Literally, the only other living being that was hanging around the word wall, and the only one on the entire mountain was...an elk. just a random elk.
suffice to say I have not been anywhere near the smurfing things since.
This thread is smurfing gold.
Regarding companions, I read somewhere on uesp (I think that's the site...) that companions do not level up at all, and remain at the level you were when you met them for all eternity. Something like that. If you have access to the console (PC version only, I think, but I'm not 100% sure) then you can disable/enable them and this should set their level to your current level, apparently.
There's a way to get the console on the 360, although I use the roundabout way. I have a user-made program and a wifi connection from my JTAG'd 360 to my laptop. I just enter the console command into the software and hit send. Also a save editor, though that's neither here nor there. >.>
In my legit, non-hacked up file, I've already accomplished pretty much everything. In my hacked-to-the-point-of-almost-feeling-bad-about-it file, I'm busy flying through the air and shooting arrows at dragons from where they can't reach me, and carrying over 15000 pounds of hacked armor/weapons and random crap.
Glad to see I'm not the only one plotting Nazeem's downfall. I'll show him what the business sector of the mace district looks like!
Not too many fun stories as of yet, only just picked the game up. Watched a group of "Revelers" get pummeled by an angry bear literally seconds after handing me some Honningbrew mead. Poor bastards just screamed for help as I sipped my mead at a safe distance.
Speaking of :bou::bou::bou::bou: Nazguleem, I may have also enacted brutal vengeance upon him. Mine was slightly less dramatic, however.
I found him mid-afternoon, strolling around like the smug :bou::bou::bou::bou: he was. I followed him, waiting for those magic words. They may have sounded like idle banter, but to me they were permission. "Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh what am I sayi-". I save. I return to the game. "-ng, of course you don't". My bow is already drawn, arrowtip almost touching his nose. I let loose and away he flies, don't several stairs, landing broken in front of a town guard. He looks up at me, pauses, then draws his weapon.
I reload the save. I do it all again. When I tire of the bow, I switch to the dagger, then the sword, war axe, ebony warhammer. I must have killed him dozens of times. I still have that save, and I have no intention of saving over it.
I look forward to hearing how everybody else killed his lordship, Sir Twat of :bou::bou::bou::bou:erbury Nazeem.
Also, Muffle boots can suck a juicy bellend. Protip: toss the boots, use the spell. Spell = 100% muffle. Boots = 50%. That way you have a spare item for enchanting.
I finally completed my full Dragonscale armour a few days ago. Overall, I now have free Destruction spells and +160% bow damage as well as extra carry weight and health. It's amazing. I feel like a total beast mage now.
I went around the world, gathering baskets, put them over everyones heads, slayed nazeem in cold blood, buried him in a 3 foot tall pile of cabbages, then removed the baskets. As they all went to the pile to pick up the veggies (and the dropped murder weapon (wiped clean) an ebony dagger) they slowly came to realize there was something under the pile. and then they found him. And on that day not a single smurf was given.
Loving the Nazeem stories.
I was using my sprint shout to run around town and a guard asked me to stop because I was making the townspeople nervous and scaring them. I had to decline his request and then knocked him off his feet with another shout just to drive home the point that Dragonborn don't give a tit.
I use enchanted boots with %40 sneak and %40 pickpocket. Seems to be more useful.Quote:

I will find a way to make Nazeem marry me, then I will strip him naked and make him cook my meals and be slave labor for me for the rest of his life, never allowed to leave the house and definitely never allowed to go to the Cloud District.
I did that with a torchbug.Quote:

Haha, I actually finished my set of Daedric armor along with my sword and bow earlier. I can always just make the armor to sell now though. :monster:
If you know of a really quick way to raise alchemy/enchanting then I'll be very grateful. I do like that "hack" for cutting down on the waiting time.
Best way to raise alchemy in my experience is to make the most expensive (and thus giving most experience) potions you can with the ingredients you have. Salt Pile and Death Bell makes a Slow poison, and two of Blue Butterfly Wing, Blue Mountain Flower, Hanging Moss, Nightshade makes a Damage magicka regen poison. Both of those increase Alchemy pretty quickly and net a good profit (also improving Speech)
In my playthrough I'm picking pockets all the time, so I always have a ton of rings and necklaces to enchant with fortify sneak (for grand, greater and common souls) and waterbreathing (for lesser and petty souls). I've seen guides recommending smithing iron daggers and enchanting them. Just use whatever materials you can get without going out of your way too much imo.
If you're into alchemy this is invaluable: Potion App - Skyrim Potion Generator
My 'swordhand' main character now has lost the trail of a dragon... I have to regroup.
Zug the barbarian orc just got out of prison for his murderous and semi-cannibalistic ways.
Thanks, Pike and Pontus. :monster:
I've made it my goal to make a bow and sword with ridiculous damage. Unfortunately, 100 smithing isn't enough. :(
Add enchantments to apparel to increase your weapon skill.
What I was going to do was up my alchemy and enchanting so that I can make a bunch of smithing gear and then drink a potion of fortify smithing to get base damage up really high. I want to save the enchantments on my apparel to add health and resist magic.
That's a good plan.
Using Sneaking and Archery together is pretty overpowered in this game. I think I'll try and retain more of a challenge in my next playthrough. xD
Sneaking and dagger is probably more overpowered though.
In terms of raw power yeah, but then you have to forfeit the safe distance!
I want to make an Argonian something or other in my next playthrough. Archer or mage. I can't decide!
Definitely want to be a pure mage next! I've always kind of shunned mage types but with dual wielding and crap, it seems a lot more interesting.
Rantz just gave me an idea. I'm gonna start reverse pickpocketing the Executioner's Hood onto civilians before I kill them.
Fast, profitable alchemy:
1. buy all the ingredients from a vendor, under 50 gold. use barter potions / enchants if you have them
2. go to his alchemy table, use alchemy enchants if you have them
3. on the "possible" potions on your right, pick a combination of 2 ingredients that is worth more than 100 gold, pick the one you have most ingredients to make multiples.. Do not make it yet
4. go to top of ingredient list, pick the first listed as your 3rd ingredient for potion.. see if potion gold value changes.
5. Do #4 for all ingredients on list, till you get the top value for your potion. Best ones have 3-5 effects. Don't worry if the potion makes no sense (poison you but restores magica while increasing barter, for example) those potions are not to be used
6. sell all the crazy potions you did on steps 4 and 5, using any barter buff you got
I'm playing a battlemage right now, pure magic offence with heavily enchanted light armor and having a blast with it.Quote:

It was the lilt in his voice, I think. And finally I'd had enough.
I waited until he began to climb the stairs out of the marketplace and there was no one else around. Then I tiptoed right up behind him and crouched down. I was just close enough to him that he could hear me as I whispered "Hey. Nazeem."
He paused, but before he could turn around, I took a deep breath and unleashed an inferno from my mouth. "Yol!"
The poor sod was dead before he even hit the ground.
All over Whiterun people began running amok. "It was a murder in cold blood!" they screamed as a guard ran up to me. "You have committed crimes in the eyes of Skyrim," he said. "What do you have to say for yourself?"
I looked at him, raised one of my furry Khajiit eyebrows, and said simply, "I'm the Thane, bitch."
"Oh!" The guard tumbled over his words. "I'm terribly sorry! I won't trouble you again."
And then the guard went away and the marketplace returned to normalcy. I casually looted Nazeem's corpse and then left his naked body lying there before strolling back home to my wife, who greeted me with a loving smile and asked if I'd had any big adventures that day.
Oh yes.
Yes I had.
Cicero is the best thing in the history of anything. God damn I love having him follow me around spouting gibberish :love:
Also I kind of have a torture chamber filled with victims now. The moaning is disconcerting. But on the plus side I can beat the trout out of them and then boost my restoration skill by healing them! :jess:
Regardless of my Issues with that game, Cicero Is pretty damn awesome.Quote:

My favourite temporary companion was probably that random dog that is not what would be described as a normal dog. Shame he's so temporary.
I had a bunch of thugs show up for no reason and wordlessly follow me around for about two days. Then I went to Whiterun and they decided to gang up on me or something. So they died. Yeah it was odd.
Guys I really want to roll an alt :( :( I don't know how much longer I can fight this urge
Working on the "1000 bounty in all nine holds" trophy for the PS3, I ran into a father and son in Winterhold. After unleashing an Inferno fireball point-blank into the father's face, killing him in one hit, the son is awestruck with me and asks me if I can teach him magic. I like to believe that I solved some domestic violence issues at home that day.
So I've run across a problem. I've had Lydia as my companion and I've been making her carry all my dungeon loot because she's built like an ox apparently. :P Anyway, so here's the problem, I was doing my thing and making her pick up things and ended up giving her six Iron Shields. Now I can't get them off of her. It keeps telling me that I can't take my follower's starting equipment or whatever. She started with a Steel Shield. >:[
halp?
Kill her and take her stuff? Have you tried giving a better shield? Has the game been patched since you got it?
What version are you playing Julian? It sounds like some sort of bug.
Anyways I finally caved and rolled an alt. An Argonian mage. This is gonna be awesome. Next I'm gonna make an archer.
He's even more temporary here.Quote:

She's rocking a full set of Dragonplate, including the shield. I've already accepted that she's stuck carrying the steel equipment she started with.Quote:

I had the same problem as Julian. Everything I gave Lydia ended up as her "starting equipment" in addition to being stolen. When she died - heroically - I went and sold all the crap she had nicked off me. Then I stored the Legendary Glass Battleaxe she had been using in my house as a symbol of rememberence.
Lol, classic. I ran across two dragons fighting each other the other day. It was actually quite fun to watch.Quote:

Lol, I've actually gone back to older saves a couple times to save her from death. I was pretty sad the first time I saw a Snow Bear had killed her.Quote:

I would have done that except I didn't realise until way way way too late. Lydia, unlike the other companions I tried to replace her with, was actually useful and would sneak and not many any noise and wouldn't bump me into an enemy I'm trying to stealth kill. So I just assumed she was doing her job until one day she wasn't there any more. I went back to the last place I remember seeing her - fighting the dragon at Kynesgrove - and there was her beautiful self, lying dead on the ground. I wept.
Also Shadowmare or whatever the Dark Brotherhood's horse is called: it died somewhere and I can't find it to make it respawn. Gosh.
Holy trout, I just looked into horses and I want one. I want Shadowmere.Quote:

The only two ways it can actually die - as far as I know, anyway - is by either falling damage, or by being directly killed by the player. I've never seen my Shadowmere "die" in a battle against an actual enemy. It only gets downed, then gets back up.Quote:

Really? That's pretty awesome then. I always reload if I accidently hit (and kill) my Shadowmere with my hyper-enchanted two-handed daedric greatsword of doom. If it does respawn, I shouldn't have to worry about that. Gotta try this out.Quote:

The same thing happened with me. xDQuote:

My new Argonian is a battlemage. I've got a fireball in one hand a mace in the other. Oh lordy I cannot even begin to express how fun it is. Douse people with fire and then smash their skull in. It's amazing.
My local HMV is still out of stock (apparently it will be in finally next week!) I would really love to finish this game now god damn it :/
Did you sell your copy or something. Also, though shalt not use the name of the lord in vain.
I'm sure Talos doesn't care how we use his name!Quote:

My 2nd copy disc cracked in the exact same place as the first. Thought my PS3 cracked it but it has never done it to any of my other games! It turned out it was a piece of sharp plastic in the game box :/ I have disc insurance so the replacement is free!Quote:
