Dogmeat is a nuisance. Has got me crippled a few times now, once he started a mine beeping then blocked my exit so I couldn't escape and my arms both got blown off. Worse AI than ED-E

Another Deathclaw here. A couple of hours in

...and Dogmeat

I didn't like the DB in Skyrim as much as in Oblivion. I mean the questline was alright, but I just felt as if I was never accepted, Astrid and her dog despised me and the others seemed suspicious. In Oblivion they treated you as one of their own after the initial induction, so much so that killing them all was an emotional experience...except for the Cat..and he accepted me as a brother just before I assassinated him. I know that that was the feel bethesda were looking for, that the DB and Thieves guild were on the verge of extinction, and the DB were in a shambles with no Listener, but I would have preferred a strong DB where becoming the Listener was indeed an esteemed honour

Yes. Even when a gang of hired thugs attack you in town the guards just become spectators

Think I remember that name from Civ V?

Endorsing a mod because they thought the page was pretty....made me laugh :biggrin: One good thing about using the NMM is that it lets you know whether you have endorsed a mod or not

So, there i am on the road from Riften heading towards Windhelm and I pass a farmer heading towards Riften..."I'm on my way to Windhelm to join the Stormcloaks...Ulfric has the right of it." Ok....so someone has had a joke giving him direction's :biggrin:

Yes I agree. You could relate most of the races to a myriad of 'real' cultures and peoples. For instance, the OP has the Altmer based on the Chinese, but to me they resemble a more fascist culture. Of course, if you are American, chances are you will relate some races/aspects of the game to your location, such as the references to the Native Americans

I recall going to that camp once or twice in the many character's I have played, but as I have only done the Stormcloak side a couple of times, I'm guessing maybe it becomes empty after the battle?

If you haven't discovered them yet, you have to be near them to see them in your hud and have to discover them to enable them to show up on the map, other than the ones that are part of the questline of course

I'm not really into RPG's as such, although my favourite genre, FPS, is probably a pure form of roleplaying. My limited experience of RPG games is that you play the role of the character designed for you, as you point out mellophonist,whereas in Elder Scroll games, at least the ones I have played, once you have done the initial start, you can be whatever your imagination wants you to be. So whether you are playing a role in strict accordance with the lore of the game, or for example, a time-traveller from a parallel universe you can do it. It is still roleplaying, and I don't think that is dying off...hence the volume of mods....and the people downloading them

Every time I get the Subterfuge power after finishing the Thieves Guild, it's straight to the College and try it out on Ancano. In TGM of course so I can use it again and again. I can't help it and am always sad when I finish the College quest and my 'playmate' is dead

Depends on what is meant by 'roleplaying'. Some like to transform into a character relative to the lore of a game, other's like to transfer their own persona into a game

Hahaha! I do the second thing, but only to that general merchant in Whiterun. YES! Me too, that guys is such a grumpy gus. It's fun to rattle his cage, lol. That was my first ritual in Skyrim

Resurrect, is my new favourite. Because I love watching townsfolk fight a master nightspawn and seeing who is going to die and whether I get a courier letter with gold

I tried it but only ended up with just over 11000 bounty...and a nice stretch in the lockup....and the glitch didn't work for me. Except for that old Battleborn bloke was doing a 'moonwalk' when I left the jail :biggrin:

I like the Live Another Life and Rideable Broom mods

I created an evil Altmer(aren't nearly all of them evil?) with the sole intention of wiping out all of Skyrim (in god-mode of course) using a kill essential npc mod. Of course he won't be able to complete any quests, but he never intended to. His history is that he was an imprisoned psychopathic serial killer from Summerset Isle when one of the Dominion's bright strategist's got the exceptionally brilliant idea to let him loose in Skyrim to add to the already chaotic situation there..of course it has backfired to a degree as he takes particular delight in murdering the wandering Thalmor Justiciaries, probably as a payback for his imprisonment :devil: :happy:

I've wrecked so many of my games from cheating it's not funny, well it is funny...killing, resurrecting and just being a general nuisance to the NPC populations, especially in Riften. Anyway, using the console to get shouts isn't cheating..it's the Dragonborns right to know shouts. With my latest character I just cheated to finish the MQ..shout's and all, because I've climbed the 7000 steps and put up with Septimus' childish rantings, while I robbed him blind tooo many times.

@ WolfPalatine, I also agree with your take on Paarthurnax...seems to me he has done the world more good than Delphine And Esbern. The blades are nothing more than a sect anyway and have loyalty to only the Akaviri or else they would have bowed and given me their loyalty as Dragonborn

I remember having that option a couple of times entering Sovngarde as I had done the Thieves Guild before finishing the MQ, but never used it as it seemed dishonourable with what the Hall Of Valor stands for

@Sisterof, yeah Brynjolf has a good voice actor, but it's just the in your face way they have him come up to you and try to force his quest on you, after a dozen times it has just annoyed me too much...the same as the 'curved sword' warriors in Whiterun demanding I help them and the Vigilant at the Abandoned House in Markarth. As for Dishonoured, after the first level when your stats are shown it has the chaos level and so I thought I would google more about the game and the fact they designed the game with you trying to get low kills for the good ending stumped me..they gave me a crossbow...CROSSBOW...and I can sneak up and behead people..what do they want from me? :blink: Like yourself I will go back to Fallout NV and wait for Fallout 4...after I kill Brynjolf a few more times :cool:

I had two in the marketplace in Riften in one of my games, eventually they fell into the canal, and as far as I know are still there...rotting away :cool:

I picked TES VI as I am looking more forward to that, but I don't mind the Fallout games either
