Skyrim

First topic message reminder :

Anybody still playing this? I recently started again after losing my save and have decided to use nothing but magic. Just completed Bleak falls barrow so the first thing I'm doing is all the side quests.

I mainly use the slow time shout, and basically run around hacking at everyone , there is no tactical element to my fighting at all

Azzy if you do the Companions quest line you might not get the well tested bonus for a wee while

You can go to the Greybeards and the head one, cant remember his name will give you a shout location which is handy

16 is fantastic

I watched this after looking for the Heimskr upload the other day, brilliant

By the way in my last message well tested was meant to be well rested!

I finished the Silver Hand mission last night, I'm on to the final Companions mission now - have just activated the Wuuthrad statue and I'm going in...

Unfortunately I forgot to sell all my stuff before going in, so I'm already at full capacity

Also, when the Circle decides to go to the Temple of Wuuthrad or whatever it is, why do they decide to run there rather than horse it? I ran the entire way with Vilkas, killed a dragon, two trolls and a host of ice wolves and ice mages. The other two were miles behind us

I don't know why, I fast travel to wherever and usually get slightly nervous that they won't make it, they usually do.

I'm doing the Dragonborn DLC and have just met another Dragonborn! Crikey

Got a full set of flawless Orcish armor. Looks better than the Dwarven stuff also

I'm in the Nightingale armour, its not the best set for stats but aesthetically it just looks awesome.

Aye, the Blades armor is my personal favorite.

Looks like a Samurai

I have 702 items in the small drawer on the left hand side of Breezehome, I have included multiples.

It includes 41 bits of Dragon Bone, 37 bits of Dragon Scale. 5 different coloured Dragons Claws.

702.

That Dragonborn guy turned up after I'd killed a Dragon just now and knicked the soul off me. Am I allowed to swear?

Is the new DLC good btw?

Yeah the Dragonborn one is meant to be worth it , the others maybe not so much.

Dragonborn has given me new shouts and a new area Solthsiem. Some new races included some wee gremlin / janette krankie types

To be honest if they'd said buy this it will mean you can wear orange trousers I might have bought it

Dragonborn goes back to Morrowind doesnt it?

A new race of Jimmy Krankies, well that me sold!

Yeah it does, on my initial stroll through the island the locations seem quite a bit closer together than in Skyrim.

Its 6 pound odds on PSN, half price for the first week.

I'm hoping there maybe some other races that look like 80s comics.

Spit the Dog and Bob Carolgees Im hoping for.

Finished the Companions line. Thank God. Now onto some important stuff!

Got me some Blades armor. Best looking in the game tbh

I levelled up to Level 34 last night, put it on stamina as that last Companions quest showed me how rubbish I am at hand-to-hand fighting once I've done a couple of power attacks...put the skill increase on to one of the enchanting perks, as I'm striving to get me some ace (self-created) magic armour.

Now my agenda is:

1. Sort out all my items, get me down to about 220/350 on carrying weight.
2. Spend the money I raise on one-handed training from the Companions guy.
3. Go back to Sky Haven Temple and find the treasure room (missed it when I was there)
4. Start the Thieves Guild quest line

Any other good ideas?[/quote]

I'm currently working my way through the Dark Brotherhood quest line at the moment, enjoyed my time stuck in a coffin with a mummified corpse.

DB is my favorite quest line.

Companions is a bit **** and Mages is pretty meh

Thieves was pretty good, Companions has the nice but obvious twist, bards is too short, would like a ranger type one though.

My thinking for doing the Thieves Guild quest line is that my sneaking is about 15, and pickpocketing about 17, so any quick levelling up will help me get up to Level 35/36, allowing me to get a couple more perks I'm after...shouldn't be too difficult!

I never pickpocket. Tbh, I haven't really levelled sneak that much doing it either. I'm cruising it in full heavy orcish armor lol.

I'm similar GSC, I don't really relish the prospect of becoming a part-time thief, but those quick level ups could really help.

Best way to level up sneak I find is to go into a dungeon where draugr are sleeping, get naked and creep around. Sneak attacking while they're asleep is due a skill point per attack at low sneak levels.

Or, if you're prude, do the first DB quest to get the armor that gives you bonuses to sneak, and sneak attack.

Whenever I shoot deer, wolves, rabbits, foxes etc I always to sneak archery, which I guess must be how I got so high in the first place.

I'm not wanting to spend any unnecessary time levelling up my sneaking, as it's worthless to me, but I want to do the Thieves Guild line so that it'll go up a bit (plus the £££ will come in handy)

I'm a prude as well!

I cant be nasty either, I try to avoid killing Horkers Im such a wuss.

Right, I'm getting back into this now, but I'm extremely rusty ans may need some tips. My gamer tag is Pr4wn in case anyone wants to add me.

Ask away

Are you XBOX or PS3 Pr4wn?

sexbox.

UESP

I didn't get any XBOX time last night, went to bed at 9 after having my eye semi-gouged out by my lad. Still hurts now actually

Well what a treat my return to Skyrim was. Forgot just how amazing that game is. Although, when you become great at archery and have a decent follower, the game becomes quite easy.

Dawn guard gives a great follower IMO

Ive got kharjo? The cat man.

The oghan infinium is sick.

Vampirism would be cool without the stamina loss

I played for 90mins last night, here's what I got done:

- sold loads of gear
- made loads of potions and sold them (increased alchemy by 2 levels)
- went to Sky Haven Temple and raided the treasure room
- enchanted the blades armour and other weapons (increased enchanting by one level to 96)
- spent 20mins doing smithing (increased smithing by 3 levels)

That's it. And I didn't even get to Level 35

Your enchanting is 96? What sort of damage does that do?

I made level 54 last night, once you are past 50 its takes an age to level up.

I solved the vampire problem in Morthal which was good.

I think I might go after the Dragon Priests' masks, I have about 4 of them and would quite like the set. Have to dip into the interweb though to find out where they are.

Had to be cured of vampirism twice now :/

Also the crossbow kicks ass

For a great dragon, Paarthunax really is a pushover.

Hire someone for 500 gold.

Induct them into the Blades for life

I've done that twice now, just need to find a third sucker

Agree on the crossbow, wow the damage from that is great, need to get some better bolts for it now though. Had a real collection of glass, eleven and dwarf arrows but only got steel bolts.

Can get Dwarven Bolts, or craft them.

Also doesn't need drawback like the bow

Also I just finished a mission to get bolts that explode

Where do you get the crossbow?
