Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim[views:1240542][posts:1457]______________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 3:04am - frankovhell ""] Haha Drinking contest quest starting in whiterun funny as shit. Wake up across the world in some strange city. Got mad that the priestly types were making me clean up my mess that i made while black out drunk in their house so i proceed to pickpocket the head womens key and go into the inner secret area and steal religion artifacts, get caught , kill the priests, run through city laughing. This game is fun. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 7:47am - AndrewBastard ""] I mentioned that quest ^^^ up there. it turns into quite an ordeal... also LOL at: bignig said:[img] last night I got TONS of short-ass misc quests done including one where I had to eat another human being on a sacrificial alter. 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. I beat the shit out of that entire cave in like 2 mins cause I'm now a one hit wonder on these weak ass bandits but I still thought it odd that I had to clear it out a second time. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 7:58am - AndrewBastard ""] I have 2 enchanted maces but both are only 14 damage. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 8:36am - arilliusbm ""] I can't believe Martins is talking about a game that's primarily 1st person. Just found my first ebony and glass items last night. The glass armor looks pretty sweet. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 21,2011 9:10am - ark ""] almost level 31. i found the secret of red eagle's tomb. i'm becoming a surgeon with two handers. despite this, some enemies are CRAZY hard (i'm playing on expert). i just found the secret of red eagle's tomb and some insane ebony armor with stamina regen. but if i wasn't able to go werewolf and toss red eagle around like a ragdoll, while my mage companion blasted him 1,000 times, i could not have stood up to him in melee combat. no way. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 21,2011 9:15am - ark ""] blessed%20offal%20nli said:MUCHHHHH less repetitive dungeon crawling than in oblivion. yeah, i was surprised they could even pull this off. it's a given that you're going to mostly explore ancient nord ruins, so i figured they would look the exact same everywhere. NOT SO. i've found one dwarven ruin so far too. couldn't beat the last robot motherfucker in it yet. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 9:44am - Alx_Casket ""] Anyone run into an electromancer yet? By dicks on high, I must have died 20 times. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 9:49am - AndrewBastard ""] I'm level 25 as of last night... I'm only playing on the medium difficulty though. I dont know how you're doing it on the hardest level. There are some enemies on the medium level that can hit me TWICE and I'm done. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 21,2011 9:57am - ark ""] it's not even the hardest setting, i think "master" is. i was going for a high survivability build from the start, with heavy armor and restoration magic. i have NO IDEA how i could have made it this far in the game without the fighter/cleric build. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:01am - arilliusbm ""] Any of you own houses yet? I have 8000 gold, thinking about getting one. Most expensive one is 20000 I think, in Solitude. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:03am - ark ""] i have the one in whiterun. i'm going for the one in windhelm right now so i can be ulfric's thane, bitchez |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:05am - Alx_Casket ""] I just got the one in Whiterun, but I think it's time to get another. I have like, 24,000 septims. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:06am - AndrewBastard ""] I have like 15k but haven't even seen a house for sale...do I have to talk to someone? I stashed my shit in an abandoned shack. its probably all gone. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:06am - arilliusbm ""] How did you get that much, alx? |
| _______________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:07am - ark ""] i've spent a lot on leveling up skills. that more than anything. i'd have a bazillion sovereign septim pieces if it weren't for that. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:09am - ark ""] AndrewBastard said:I have like 15k but haven't even seen a house for sale...do I have to talk to someone? if you've done some quests for a jarl, talk to his steward. usually they would tell you "i will now let you buy a house in the city" after you complete stuff for them |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:10am - AndrewBastard ""] I just barely ever spend money....what do you need to spend it on? Besides soul gems and the occasional potion, I find/steal all my armor/weapons... I dont think I've PURCHASED a single piece of armor or weaponry... |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:12am - Alx_Casket ""] I loot like a motherfucker. I would have way more but my game is suffering the thieves guild glitch which prevents me from getting a fence for all the stolen shit. The next patch will fix this. My character is focused on archery, sneak, destruction magic, and one handed, currently level 26 and kicking ass with J'zargo. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:13am - ark ""] skill training, smithing and enchanting supplies, and a house. you never need to buy gear. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:14am - AndrewBastard ""] I think I have a fence in the thieve guild...some broad. but I dont steal much...most of my gold is just from adventuring and looting dead bodies/chests etc. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:17am - arilliusbm ""] I've done nothing but loot. I've spent a great deal on leveling up, though. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:20am - Alx_Casket ""] skill leveling above 50 gets damn expensive. And I'm still referring to Allston as Riften to everyone, even if they don't play the game. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:23am - AndrewBastard ""] lower allston = grey alley |

| _________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 10:33am - burnsy ""] I haven't gotten to play nearly ad much as I've wanted. Currently at level 15 and doing a bunch of dark brotherhood quests. Pretty lucrative thus far. |

Besides soul gems and the occasional potion, I find/steal all my armor/weapons... I dont think I've PURCHASED a single piece of armor or weaponry... dude dont buy soul gems, just rob the arch mage of the college in winterhold. I got like 25 greater soul gems filled with souls. I havnt really spent much money either, except on training for skills. Im playing on a hard difficulty and am lvl 20. they made melee a bit harder in this one, because Ill be acein' niggaz left and right and then one big two-handed-hammer-wielding cat will hit me and Ill just fall into a pile of jello. I still say they shouldve gave you some kind of quick switch thing. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 21,2011 11:02am - ark ""] with a controller you can hold right or left on the Dpad to store weapon sets. haven't actually tried this |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 11:03am - blessed offal nli ""] yea I know, but it doesnt work very well. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 11:54am - AndrewBastard ""] I havent tried that witht he D-Pad unless youre talking about the "favorites" option...I used that for like a few hours when I first started...now I just do it the long way |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 12:01pm - blessed offal nli ""] I use the favorites but the quickswitch is only 1/4 as useful as it coulda been if theyd done it right. like ill be using my bow and get rushed so ill hit the button to quick switch to melee but for some reason, only my weapon comes up so I still have to go into the menu and get the shield out. its not a huge deal but it makes it alot more tedious than it needed to be. they coulda gotten rid of the third person view, made it so you can see your char in the menu, and made the right stick button a quick switch menu. |

| _____________________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 12:17pm - blessed offal nli ""] I wouldve totally prefered this on the computer, however, i have a shitty 5 year old laptop with a bare bones video card and no sound card. I do however have an xbox 360 that i got for 60 bucks and a giant HDMI tv. Right now I'm dual wielding a cheeseburger and a beer before leaving for work in an hour. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 12:17pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Gonna try to get deep into enchanting one handed weapons while focusing on magic and a little bit of archery |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 12:21pm - Alx_Casket ""] good luck focusing on "magic" bro |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 1:49pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Errr destruction, healing and conjuration |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 2:03pm - Alx_Casket ""] I'm surprised you're not into the art of illusion. Since you like keeping it fresh, and all. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 2:09pm - Randy_Marsh ""] The only thing that interests me about illusion is invisibility |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 2:13pm - arilliusbm ""] magic is for hipsters. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 2:16pm - burnsy ""] I haven't messed too much with magic except fire spells have been very helpful with frost trolls (duh). In oblivion I never really fucked with magic except for unlock spells. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 2:19pm - arilliusbm ""] I just received an angry text about stating magic is for hipsters. oh no. |

I can't wait to get home tonight get those last 8 levels in smithing and make me some epic dragon armor. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 2:35pm - AndrewBastard ""] i never smith |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 2:38pm - arilliusbm ""] AndrewBastard said:i never smith upgrade your weapons and armour |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 3:00pm - AndrewBastard ""] i never pick up the ignots or whatever theyre called when I see them... |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 21,2011 3:04pm - arilliusbm ""] I had a blade sword that had an attack power of 27 or so. Upgraded it and it had 33. Just sayin |
