Keanumoreira Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (Please try and don't reveal any spoilers here. If you feel it is something you should keep to yourself, then please, do so.) I met a dragon yesterday who didn't seem too happy to meet my acquaintance. After we parted ways, I proceeded to Riverwood by nightfall, catching a firefly and knocking down a bee hive with one of my arrows, a perfect alchemy collection for a novice I must say. When I finished stealing from the houses that I rudely decided to let myself into; I ran a few errands and made my way to Whiterun, stepping by to see the temple of Kynareth before later seeking out Riften, where I would discover the Thieves Guild, and, believe it or not, run into a very famous fellow throughout the Elder Scrolls games. The one, and only, M'aiq the Liar. So far, it has been a noble journey, and I bet that more are to come. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilmonkey329 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 as i parted from the same town of which the dragon had so fiercely attacked, i wandered into a town much like the one you have described, i wild chicken appeared, and i quickly slaid the beast. one rather strong fellow came and began to initiate combat, i turned to flee, but it was futile as i was struck down by another large man. moral of the story: don't f*** with chickens.

Tropxe Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) I spent ages wandering around the first town, impressed how the people there seemed less zombie-like and brain-damaged than the ones I'd met on previous adventures in Cyrodiil. I made friends with the local bard and we went to retrieve a golden claw for the owner of the general store. After returning with the claw and giving it back to the store owner, I sneaked back in late at night and stole it back again. I stayed the night with the man I escaped my execution with, and was attacked by hired thugs on leaving the house the next morning. After having the living daylights beat out of me over and over again, I prayed to the gods to make things less difficult (yes, the god of difficulty settings) since these thugs seemed quite superhuman. Then I killed these evil hirelings only to find that my bard friend lay dead at the entrance to town. I left towards Whiterun, wanting to put this mess behind me, only to see some people fighting a large troll in a field. I ran over to help but the troll fell before I arrived and I was berated for not helping them out. They introduced themselves as the Companions, then left me alone in the field, finding them pretty arrogant for assuming I could've helped from half a mile away. I entered Whiterun, persuading the guards to let me in, and then fell asleep at the nearest inn. Well that was my first two days (at least as I remember them, who knows how long I spent in the dungeon trying to get the golden claw).

Bravo3945 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 After I came out of the tutorial dungeon I started heading to Riverwood and I saw a hunter woman, at first I thought she may have been an enemy but when I got closer I saw that she was friendly and was shooting some animal. I tried talking to her but she was too busy shooting her bow then i saw her dog head towards me I thought it was a wolf or something so I attacked it... Then she starts attacking me, I tried to yield by pressing RMB and E.... Dunno if thats the command in skyrim but it was in oblivion but she continued to attack so I had to kill her and her dog lol. After that I went to Riverwood.... Then I talked to the quest guys and all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertex23 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 First Skyrim day: I didn't look at the map and wandered the woods lost and scared :( First day of playing: I was lost in the woods for a while and eventually saw a small town in the distance. Apparently the guy who told you to split up wanted you to meet him there...that makes sense. I eventually ended up doing a dungeon before I knew I was suppose to do it and ended up having to tell the guy "Oh, this thing?" which was awkward for some reason, not too sure why exactly. Later on a dragon attacked us outside the guard tower to the west and I sat there in awe (and fear) as the guards killed it for me, apparently I was a hero there. Glad to be of help, sirs and madam!

PSQGL Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 After escaping that dreaded dragon, I parted ways from my bold companion and headed South to Markarth, teaching some manners to a haughty Redguard who thought his swordplay was better than mine and his armor would protect him from lightning.Then I started doing quests and favors for people there, including avenging a poor little murdered girl.

doddibot Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) I was taken to the village of Helgen, which honestly looked like it had already been through a dragon attack or two, after being mistaken for a Stormcloak (honestly, an Imperial citizen working for the Stormcloaks? Never!) and sentenced to death, but the Eight must have blessed me that day because a dragon appeared to blast some sense back into the Imperial soldiers. A soldier named Hadvar escorted me safely out of Helgen and to Riverwood. I talked to many of the locals, including a shopkeeper, who as I purchased a new outfit to replace my prison rags asked me to investigate a recent theft, and his daughter, a comely young lady being pursued by two suitors (neither of whom, in my opinion, deserved her). But all of that had to wait until the morning, because I hurried to the local inn, The Sleeping Giant, and purchased a hearty beef stew and an ale. I then purchased a room, then mistakenly wandered into a room which wasn't mine, before finally placing the weapons Hadvar had provided into a chest by my bed and drifting off to fitful sleep with nightmares of Nord ruffians in cloaks. After I woke up, discovered the innkeeper was a thief and had entered my room during the night to relieve me of my sword, I sought a replacement weapon and was guided out of town by the shopkeeper's daughter and made my way to a nearby barrow.

huntsman2310 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Racked up a death toll of at least 3 companions. One was slain by Othar the mad, the other a frost when, and my first, a draugr wight. Currently killed at least 9 dragons, found many strange things in winter hold. And fused a rabbit off of high hrothgar, totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
