KillerSkark1978 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) I have restarted the game many many times in the short time I have owned it like most I am sure, I recall once doing the smithing trick where you create loads of Iron daggers to boost your rating early in the game, I tried this went and created tons of daggers and hide bracers, and went enchanting them with petty soul gems also, used the glitches cheats with the hidden chests to fund the resources I needed and via selling the enchanted daggers. Game Wise I had not left Whiterun, had played up to killing the first dragon, was already above level 20 in the overall game, already had a house tons of weapons etc. before I even chose to leave Whiterun and go out on a mission, Smithing Level was SkyHigh, Enchantment Level was SkyHigh, combat and armour skills where none existent. As soon as I left Whiterun to start my first mission to go kill a Bandit Leader, before the town of Whiterun was even out of my sight the game just wanted me dead, I was attacked by Two Dragons simultaneously along with 3 or 4 Sabertooth Tigers, and a pack of wolfs must have been 4 or 5 of them, Lydia was lasting all of 5 second once the slaughter began so I was by myself, Combat and Armour skills where so bad that I never stood a chance, there I was thinking this is it I have all these bad ass weapons I crafted and enchanted, all this bad ass Armour I forged, like I was ready to go out and kick some ass thinking I was going to be unstoppable, and the game throws me right into a ruthless no win situation which I could not get passed the second I stepped out the gates, I was like WTF did not see that one coming, had to start again the game was broken though lack of proportion on actually been able to use the Items created effectively. Learned that day never to let Smithing and Enchanting level up your game, let them build up naturally while you increase your Weapons and Armour Skills in proportion, those YT videos that lead you to think that doing that to get the best Items quickly are just Bull S*!!t Another WTF moment was Killing the Chicken as soon as I entered Riverwood, or trying out the Nord Battle Cry Power inside Riverwood right at the start of the game, just to see what it does. Can tell you now nether of these actions is a good idea. Edited February 4, 2012 by KillerSkark1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're still getting sabretooth tigers rather than cave bears, you must not have been much more than level 20. I wish my enemies were wimps like dragons or sabretooth tigers. And if you're getting pwned by them, you really need to practice your skill with a weapon. You should be able to beat enemies like that with an iron dagger in one hand and an ale in the other (the way I do). :pirate: Edited February 4, 2012 by gsmanners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooker75 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I came out of a mine (Gloombreaker, I think) atop a mountain to watch a bear fall from the sky. I was like, "Ok, whatever" and went about my business. I realized I forgot to do something, so I loaded my autosave from the mine, and this time... I see a mammoth flying ACROSS the sky. No dragons (as I haven't done the whiterun quest). Just bears and mammoths flying. Yeah, that's weird. I was always fond of the flying robot / flying radscorp bug in Fallout 3. As soon as I left Whiterun to start my first mission to go kill a Bandit Leader, before the town of Whiterun was even out of my sight the game just wanted me dead I think they realized people were going to find ways to abuse powerleveling early, so they intentionally try to whack you when you finally start to play the game normally. Smithing levels up absurdly fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertibro Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Apart from the occasional flying/falling animals, I once witnessed an act of pure comedy. I did the "In my time of need" quest (the one about the Alik'r warriors and Saadia), and decided to play a reverse double agent - I delivered Saadia, grabbed the money, and killed Kematu to grab the money from Saadia.As Kematu died, Saadia was freed, and started attacking me, so i used the Voice of the Emperor to calm her and get my reward. When I enter Whiterun's tavern the next day, Saadia promptly pulls a dagger and attacks me, however Lydia tends to be a very quick fighter, it seems.As Saadias corpse is flopping around in all publicity, at first the inevitable "I'm going to find whoever did this" happens, but the NPCs soon return to their daily half-lives.Suddenly, the local beggar (was he called Brenuin? Can't remember.) walks up to her, looks at her still warm corpse, and says: "Shouldn't leave things laying around." I still have no idea why this happened (I suppose he was talking about her dropped dagger), but I literally laughed for 5 minutes straight.

Have a great Idea now after all those test runs of exactly how I want to go about the game, and the character I currently have going is totally bad ass and very well balanced, I use a mixture of duel single weapon attacks and Destruction spells, am a little behind on two handed weapons to where I would like to be, but am building it up when I get the chance against weaker enemy's, Heavy Armour is so stacked up arrows just bounce off me most the time, and when I am deadly serious about taking out a tough enemy I just go sprinting right in with double War Axes for highlight real kills, nothing the game has been throwing at me recently has even come close to giving me any problems, am fairly sure right now I could take out a cave bear bare handed.

Jerry60k Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I just wonder what the percentage of players who killed the chicken in Riverwood. Everyone I know personally has done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbleGnome Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Yes, I killed the chicken in Riverwood. I resurrect with the console every fox and bunny I see killed by other animals. Animals that have fallen from the sky really close to me: two dragons, one cow, a howling wolf, a giant (who looked like he was on an elevator/lift going down), and MYSELF! I logged in and found myself 50 feet in the air, slowly lowering to the ground. The cow, BTW, fell from the sky on top of another cow, killing them both. A farmer stood near and noticed nothing. I resurrected both cows. I mean, why not. I reach WTF moments frequently as guards and others continue to insult and belittle me and totally ignore my accomplishments....so, I'll go on a rage kill or other rant, only to go back to another save and endure it all again. The game ain't perfect for immersion, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
