  1. The best tip i can give is just walk to places. You will see sights and experience encounters and finding a fast travellot will never realize.

     

    There are unique encounters that spawn when you get to someplace or see something. Try taking a ride over a water fall ot night travel on the roads.

  2. I like catching the bees. the BZZZZupt after you pluck them up is funny to me. The dragon flies you have to swim for and sneak up on. Its sill how many time I get assaulted from wolfs, bears, tiggers and other critters while I'm off simple mindedly chasing a moth or some other pretty little insect. They ned a crawly glow worm hanging from silk stings in the deep dark dungeons.
  3. I find it hard to believe that you have to ability to actually be the leader of everything. I think it should be, once you complete so many quests in any given line, you are no longer offered the ability to advance past a certain stage in the others. You just can't be both the leader of the Democratic party and the Republican party, I think someones bound to find out and you'd lose a contribution or two.
  4. The arrow distance shooting has degraded significantly since Nov 11. The hit box is so small at range, if it exists at all, you are best to not even attempt it. Its a horrible thing and has nothign to do with gravity. Most times the arrow does not even register to the would be target. No change in posture, motion or activity. Now, its almost as if you have to be within the "charge" range of a melee weapon before letting the twang of your bow string dictate its course.
  5. It could also be counted that regardless of your "earthly" abilities, its the followers that grant you the ability to be noticed by and ultimately ascend to God status. Maybe the fact that so many worshippers wanted it, the Gods had to accept and admit him into their fold, even as a Lesser Diety.
  6. I think training ruins the game. The skills themself raise entirely too fast as it is. You get the right stone selected and skill levels fly. I think the experience raise should be only 1/10 of what it is. At least that way you can actually learn your skills and appreciate the ones you get.

     

    As for skill points for perks, they should be limited also to maybe 1 every 2 character levels. Make the points have value. Make it a life path defining choice on where you start stacking them, not an inconvenience for 5 minutes till your next level up.

  7. Wraith, it might get annoying, but really, what else is there to do with all our accumulated treasures and trinkets? I don't mean to have an open house where the enitre underworld of Riften politely allows themself entry to your hovel and ultimately your entire fortune, I meant just a random encounter where an item gets lifted, a small quests starts and you hunt down the perp.
  8. Get the NPC editor and edit out the BOW ability. Pull up the NPC and set the Bow Archery skill to zero. Then they will never use a bow.

     

     

    I don't have the link, but a search brings it up fast. Its easy to use and even easier to abuse, if thats your game style.

  9. I typically don't use the same 2 weapons for DW. I can see under some circumstances for it, but i think you get a more rounded attack and overall better damage if you take 2 different types of weapons. As each type fares better (or worse) on things. Heres my choice weapons... for now :biggrin:

     

     

  10. Matt, you miss the point. You ARE just an adventurer. The gaurd WAS and adventurer just like you, but YEARS ago. Imagine the wealth she has compiled compared to your paltry sum. I imagine after the arrow incident, the physical therapist decided the best form of rehabilitation would be to dawn about 15 weight of mundain armor, join a small insignificant faction, forgo all your wealth and worldly resources and just harass the general populous.After all, you already have done everything else there is to do. :P
  11. I liked the possibility to legitimately buy houses, instead of just using random empty ones, like many other RPGs do. For most engines this isn't so difficult, you wonder why so many RPGs miss something that most players love.

     

    I like how you no longer can put your stuff on a random main place in a city, like in morrowind where I piled all the stuff just on the streets.

     

     

    Exactly! I mean if Ultima Online can incoperate this into its design in 1998, you would think game developers would jump at this. Even Diablo had a Chest that was yours. Not exactly a house, but on the right track.

     

    What they still need is random events where things get taken and you can hunt down a thief or pilferer that took an item you set or stored at a specific house or non-house location. Kind of like the thugs who hunt you down, but you now become the thug.

  12. I attempted this, but even using a saved game at the point of execution is tiresome. An alternate start in Riverwood with basic gear and race/class selection would make it easier to want to attempt thisagain. I don't want to take the time to console all the edits it takes to do that.

     

    Of the 4 times i tried this, I get to about 10th level then die. Walking into a bear, saber cat or necromancer at that level is just a horrible end.

     

     

    I also think to be True, you'd have to be an orc. They were in the lands first, at least according to the fables I've been told at every orc camp and the few boots relating to it that I have read.

  13. 215 is nothing :rolleyes: . In vanilla Demon's Souls I saw a guy at level 496. I have to wonder why Bethesda insists on putting such a comparatively tiny level cap on such huge games.

     

     

    I think because if you can't win the game by your combined skills and equipment by level 50, then level 500 won't make that much difference. The only difference is you will have EPIC dual slotted equpment, 9 houses full of debris, 9 house Karls, a spouse, be the leader of 5 factions, be the thane of at least 9 locations, wanted or imprisoned in 9 territories, killed so many dragons you have a bone palace, 9 dragon priest masks in their own little shrine, have almost as many broken quests as you have completed quests. Besides all that, you'd have a library of spells, an arsenal of weapons, an armory of, well, armor and can carry more items then 10 Kajiit caravans.

     

    To cap all that off, you would still hear, " I wonder what the Dragonborn does after the Greybeards summon you", and "I used to be an adventurer like you..." JUST LIKE YOU, 500th level, 9 houses, 9 karls,...heheh :laugh:

  14. a lot of gaming mouse problems arise from the way Windows handles events. Without going into a long drawn out explanation of code tracing API's and how they interact, here is the simple thing to do -

     

     

    1 : open windows Task manager by hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL then selelct "Start in Task Manager"

    2: Open Task manager

    3: Open Service Tab

    4: Search for "eventlog"

    5: Disable the service (not stop)

    6: restart your PC

     

    Almost all mouse issues will become negligible and you might squeeze out a few extra spare clock cycles.

  15. I have used dual wielded Shiv's. When you get the cinematic of a decapitation with one, it makes you laugh. There's few things more satisfying then to remove the hat rack from an assailant with an ice pick

     

     

     

    "Count out my coin will ya? Hard to do that when your punk'n is rolling down the hill".

  16. I find it tiresome traveling in Skyrim especially without roads being marked on the map (without mods,) i always end up dying by walking of a cliff or something. I liked traveling by foot in Cyrodill because the roads were consistent (if bland) and you could see the landscape, Skyrim is just foggy and you cant see much!

     

     

     

    Go visit the grey beards to see Parthenox. You get a shout the helps the visuals and makes seeing so much easier. ( i hope this isn't considered a spoiler )
