I'm a guy. I play girl charactors in Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas in part because I like looking at girls. I have installed nude skins for both Skyrim & F:NV. I enjoy looking at the female body. In gameplay, though, my girl charactors do not go into battle half-naked or dressed in chainmail bikinis or the like, because I have a wierd fixation: I dig babes that kick butt in REAL armor. In Skyrim, my first female charactor wears vanilla heavy armors (pity Daedric Armor didn't stop a Volkihar Vampire from decapitating her); after searching Skyrims Nexus like mad for a light armor mod I'm happy with, my last active charactor settled on the Mystic Elven Armor mod. In Fallout: New Vegas, my main female charactor settled for the modded Stealth Suit from The Legacy of X-13 and I love having her butcher Caesar & his Praetorians with a Fire Axe (and brought Boone along to have him give the smug "Thumbs down, you son of a *censored*!")

There is an upper limit to the maximum saves you can have, after which you will not be able to manual save (but quicksaves and autosaves still work). I think it is 50. I make lots of saves so I hit the limit with my Shadowcaster while halfway through the main questline. What I did is quicksave my final status, trace the savegames, move them out into an archive (leaving behind the quicksave) and continue from my quicksave I'm using WinXP and I found my Reckoning saves under ...\My Documents\My Games\Reckoning BTW, the bow is pretty formidable in endgame once you get and max out Tier 5 Scattershot (along with an endgame bow, of course!); repeated Charged Scattershots will waste or decimate most mobs before they get into melee range. Some of the generic starting armor looks bad but I do have some favourites. My Dokkalfar Shadowcaster wears a masterwork set of Hexweave robes (Tier 4 Mage Armor) shown here along with the unique faeblades "The Dove's Wings": http://social.bioware.com/uploads_user/32000/31515/185066.jpg I once considered creating a set of endgame armor using Dreadscale (Tier 5 Rogue Armor) but stayed with the robes instead: http://social.bioware.com/uploads_user/32000/31515/185249.jpg

I don't post much around Nexus Forums, but I guess I would post here because I want to let others know that I am enjoying Kingdom of Amalur: Reckong very much over the last 2 weeks, I have not bothered with Skyrim since Reckoning released - I think I will actually uninstall it. That is saying a lot since I have other games on my PC that I haven't played for quite some time but still resisted uninstalling them (Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Fallout: New Vegas). I will not say Reckoning is a great game. It has bugs, the story isn't the greatest. Whatever, However, I'm enjoying it. One of the things I enjoy is walking my (female) PC around chitchatting to others. Some NPCs will recognise my PC based on the works she has done, and it also amuses me to bump into an NPC that does not: 1) After a storyline battle, a soldier in a tavern challenged my PC on "doing her part" in the battle before claim ing that the battle would have been lost if not for the hero ... 2) A soldier my PC met shortly out in the wilderness just outside the battlefield commented that he found her "familar" but couldn't pin her down, assuming she was one of the many fellow combatants he fought along with at some point of the fighting. Some will flame me for saying so, but I am reminded of Baldur's Gate (walking around and chatting up all those NPCs that sprout all sorts of rubbish). There was this one part that makes me think of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Emperor Uriel Septim. A major NPC was with some reluctance (for then unknown reasons) leading my PC to a place "for some answers" and we reached a point where a monster was bearing down on us. At this point, the NPC went "I'm sorry, this is as far as I can take you" and suddenly, everything clicks: He was reluctant to guide me because he had foreseen his own death at that point ... The combat is fun enough to engage me. I am generally not the type to play on max difficulty, so I just enjoy it as it comes, revelling in the freedom to mix and match as I like, in the same way I enjoy Dead Space 2. The last game I played on max difficulty was Mass Effect 2, which is generally not that challenging unless you play a class the wrong way (like all those people who complain about the Adept on Insanity diff - my Adept goes BOOM BOOM "Where's everyone?"). My first and current character is a Finess / Sorcery build that just unlocked the highest relevant Destiny "Shadowcaster" (what serves as the "class" for Reckoning) for her build; I estimate she's around the 75-80% mark to the end of the main questline. I have plans for at least 2 new playthroughs with different builds from ground up after I am done with her - if I can be done with her, because I had gotten quite attached to her and my playstyle with her. She is the charactor that I would have wanted that I never could make in Skyrim. I even had a pic album about her and the things she found/wear on my Bioware Social Account here. Kingdom of Amalur was supposed to be a fill-in while I am waiting for Mass Effect 3, but it is now a game I can comfortably play for a good part of this year (after I finish my Mass Effect 3's first run).

The Big MT outdoors seems to be all lit up at night. I can't sneak into pistol range of a Lobo without being spotted. That was with 75+ base Sneak plus Stealth Suit V. 1.4. I don't have Run Silent but IIRC that perk only affects sound so it factors only in close quarters (which I can't even get in close). Or is the #$%$ Stealth Suit bugged with a locator that trasmits my location to every moving thing in range?
