SHIROryuu

With my first play through I was a nord and sided with the stormcloacks. This time I'm a bosmer and intend to side with the empire. See the difference between each opposite of the scale. I'm sure it will have some sort of in depth with the talmar.

The more you bring light to this kind of lack of intelligence. The more you feed their cause. It's best to ignore anything of this sort.

99 hours on 1 character. Main quest done and almost all guilds complete. As well as 3 homes full furnished.

A lot of people who are complaining about attributes don't seem to understand human potential. You can't get smarter from reading a book, you have base IQ and that never changes. Yes you can learn things you can increase your "knowledge" but you can't become smarter by reading. Same goes for anything. You can increase your physical endurance, your stamina allowing you to run further, but you can't go beyond your physical limitations. You can only build on what you have. Average person will never be an Olympic athlete. I like to look at my character in Skyrim as having reached his peak. He's the best he can be, but through training skills he can become more deadly. So he can hone his swords blade to make it the most deadly it can be, he can learn to use that weapon efficiently by attacking weak points and such. Increasing the chance with his stamina and performing power attacks. He doesn't get any stronger because he's already in his peak condition. He's used to hacking away with a sword so he doesn't gain any benefit from it. Just like working out, unless you do things to change your routine, you're not going to gain any new muscle mass(Keep in mind that muscle mass doesn't mean added strength. Body builders are twice as big as power lifters yet can't lift the same amount of weight). In the end the system in Skyrim might be gimped for a lot of fans of previous games, but it makes more sense. It's more story driven then a RPG grind fest. If you train you'll be effective against most enemies, you will find them easier to deal with over time. Still run into enemies that are superior and will make you fight for your life. Just like you would in reality. Yes this game isn't real and for those of you that prefer a completely fantasy experience, Skyrim isn't doing it for you. Doesn't mean you need to make Thread after thread after thread about why the game doesn't do it for you and you want people to think like you. This is an opinion thread, and like anything of this sort should be taken with a grain of salt.

Wow that's early. I run into them common now but I never saw one till my late 30s. Didn't see one in the main quest at all. List based on my encounters: Dragon Blood Dragon Frost Dragon Elder Dragon Named Dragon(ancients)

I think it's far more disturbing to see someone's avatar being a someone they find attractive(females do it too)... Never did understand that... I don't play as female characters as it would only be fooling myself. If I want to stare at a lovely female I'll simply date one I find attractive. Guys if you're busy looking at fake T&A it's not going to get you real T&A lol. Same goes for whatever your sexual preferences are.

It's fine to make a point. Don't make yourself look shallow. There a lot better analogies to make then that. I wonder what's going to be in the actual patch? Probably going to have to wait for an unofficial patch before I download anything...

Everyone is trying to get in on online distribution, that's a given. There is a deal somewhere and that's why Steam is "forced" with Skyrim. It's a money grab. As for EA, I think it's fair for them to earn all the money on the products they produce. Not to mention EA has been the pioneer of all the money grabs that other companies are following. Such as paying for content you can unlock by playing the game.

Anyone mention the reason why steam is forced is because of money? Think about it... Steam is an online distributer of games, so they have advertizing. By forcing you to launch via steam they hope that you will buy products from them. I think this is the real evil, not drm. Steam has been putting their foot in the door like this for a long time. I bought a GPU back in 2006 and it came with the game Lost planet. It was a full retail disk but had steam(optional install). Just have to face the fact, with Skyrim they haven't put their foot in the door, they've put it up your .......

I had similar problem, until I went to an imperial camp(stormcloaks whatever suits you). Strip off your armor(unless it's leather or robes), wait till about 2am, cast embrace shadows and feed. After you feed either find the cure quest, become a werewolf. Here is a list of the console commands. You're free to check them for what you seak. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Console_Commands_%28Skyrim%29

I'm using the steam version and don't have any issues(well no issues that cause crashes). I've only had one crash since release thankfully. Reading everything so far has made me count my blessings. Now that being said... I have broken quests, I have glitches like crazy, but no crashes. Like most people I'll wait for mods around this and other issues. I saw this coming, but why so late? I figured this would have been second day patch or something.

I personally think it looks cool. I just wish the AI couldn't know who you are while either doing this or wearing any of the masks.(or anything that conceals your face.)

Spoilers!!!!!! View at your own discretion.

I think it could also be 16:10 resolution. Mine runs perfect on ultra 1080p, but at 1680x1050 I get minor hiccups. It's odd...

You warn people of spoilers but yet your title gives away the fact there is a Mehrunes Dagon shrine! I say just buy ingots from venders. You should be high enough level by now if you can smith daedric armor.

I've killed Lydia a good 10 times lol. She seems to have this thing about rushing in front of me while I'm swinging a sword.

You don't get regular staffs. Even with the multiple enchant skill, I doubt it would be worth the effort.

What I'm saying is, by the time you should have those skills money isn't really an issue. What you need to have 100000 gold 10 hours into gameplay? I can't see how you could spam your smithing skill without the money to do so. Mining, loot, stealing can't offer the tens of thousands of gold it takes to level it. Even if you just buy materials for Iron daggers and spam it's going to cost a number of gold. Even with speech skills. Which can take even longer to build... Do some quests. I know of a certain guild that rewards you with 20000 gold after you finish it.(Remain unsaid for spoilers) I understand the need for greed (lol), just have to put some effort into the game. Isn't that why you play it?

Why not just cheat for the gold? Just my opinion... I think the market in the game is good, until you factor in looted gold. Each place works as it should, you spend gold and make gold. Only so much gold in the world after all. Of course then you get loot. You can loot the same chest countless times as it respawns, in many cases gold going up to match your level(I've looted a chest with 7 gold, came back to it to find 150 gold), not to mention AI loot. On average I collect 8000 gold an hour just messing around. Fighting dragons and such. As I said it's just my opinion and I'm sure a good mod, will and can be made to balance Skyrims fiances. In which ever direction the player wants. I think the thread would be more useful if it was placed in the modding section though. Someone is more likely to be interested or have the skills to do so there.

Do you really need to? I don't find myself desperate for vender gold. They usually have thousands from me lol. Do you loot bodies? Do you fight many giants or dragons?

Sometimes they are triggered. So they won't awake unless you do something, such as tripping a trap, opening a chest. Script based events. Just give them a good slap in the face and then they will wake up.

Falmer are elves that live in dark areas. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Falmer This will give you several locations to find them. Easiest is the main story quest line(won't mention it here due to spoilers). The rest of the blood is random find. Took me quite some time to gather all of it.

For texture mods that don't require ESP for custom content. It's as simple as placing the texture folder into the data folder. Steam version directory: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data Place it and start your game.

You can see each perk from the start of the game. I don't feel it's a spoiler. If you mean your weapons. Nah, it's not like you could get a weapon like that as a drop.

The game is varied enough to allow any number of techniques. Personally I think dragon call and storm call are throw away shouts. I've even been hit by my own storm call when fighting dragons lol.
