It's going extremely well using Archery. The stealth skills have great perks in them, sneaking itself is improved but it is kind of hard to sneak up on someone and get a melee sneak hit which is partly why I'm using Archery. It's a lot better than Oblivion, I can't wait until I find the dark brotherhood and thieves guild.

Never really liked Oblivion, mainly because of the damn gates though.
Loving Skyrim.

I'm going off what worked in Oblivion but you can't find someone selling a cure disease potion? Or find a major city that has a temple (the first one does), they usually have altars that cure diseases.
That was when you're first infected though, I have no idea if it works when the disease actually fully transforms you. It didn't in Oblivion I'm fairly sure as there was a side quest dedicated to getting rid of it.

Two questions.
1. I'm lvl 13 and have been playing mainly as a sword and board tank. I really want to roll an archer/assassin/thief. Is it too late to run back to the stone things and choose a different sign and play the game completely differently?
2. Is it possible to actually take down dragons with dual daggers?

I can only answer 1 since I haven't fought a non story related dragon yet (I'm also around your level, 14 now). You can change to whatever you want but you basically wasted like 12-13 perks unless you already put them into stealth related stuff. I don't know of any way to get them back yet.

One of my favorite moments thus far:
Going through a dungeon, dude around the corner is like "Who's there?!"
I hold up. I stop just short of rounding the corner.
This dude runs up and immediately, as soon as I see him (he's in the middle of saying some other trash talk bo shit), BAM! Instantly gutted this mother fucker with my 5 foot long sword in slo mo.
BOSS MoFUGGAH AIN'T NOTHING TO FUCK WITH

"Boss" fights with mages who cast one-hit spells are ridiculous.

The stones are like the blessings in Oblivion. There are absolutely no restrictions on your abilities. The stones are scattered across Skyrim and each one gives a different effect, and can be changed at any time.Derrick01 said:

True. I just ended up rolling a Dunmer who is going to focus on archery/stealth stuff.
Just seems to be more efficient.
I'm staying away from DB and thieves guild and anything involving actual stealth on my warrior since I want to experience those type of quests "as they're meant to be played".
Right now trying to convince my GF to roll a character. She plans on starting one tomorrow evening.

bengraven said:OK a few questions please guys:
1)How is the game overall so far...particularly in comparison to Oblivion, Fallout 3 and the Witcher 2?
I was a bit disappointed by Witcher 2, loved W1, so no comment. Oblivion: much better, much more atmosphere, much more fun, many more secrets even early on. Fallout 3: better laid out world, maybe not as interesting side quests but I'm really early in the game so don't take that very seriously, though I can't wait to see Fallout 4 after the advances made with Skyrim.
2)What is the best class to start with, if I have NEVER played a Bethesda game before and want to have fun and balanced journey?
No classes. You just use the skills you use and they level on their own. For example, I usually spec a thief/warrior thief yet I've found myself having become a battle mage with heavy armor and strong destro and one handed weapons, despite not intending to. Which is awesome, btw.
3)How is the save system? Can you save anywhere? If not, how spread out are the save points?
Save anywhere. Saves when entering most cells. You can even set it up to save when you open up the character menu! And how often it does, like "save every 5 minutes" when you open the menu.
4)Is the combat good?
A huge improvement over Oblivion. Similar mechanics, but feels so much more brutal.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks a bunch guys
Thanks, that was it. Hold it down to grab, then tap again to drop. Good system.Greg said:
Pinewatch was effing' amazing. It was longer, more detailed and had a better build up and payoff than just about any dungeon in all of Oblivion. Not sure how indicative of future dungeons that is, but it got me off to one hell of a bang. Found a heap of treasure throughout and at the end that is clearly many levels above my current. I'm walking out feeling wealthy and powerful, something that never took place in Oblivion.
Now to find a town to dump my loot at.

So this Golden Claw thing....
Can I go back to that shop keeper after I murdered his wife when they caught me stealing shit? I couldn't kill him, but the dude was super pissed when I was running away from him lololololololo

Anybody got Quicksilver Ore Location?
None of the traders in Whiterun are selling it at the moment for me.

Noob question: at the start of Oblivion you could choose what skills to specialise in but I haven't come across anything like that in Skyrim. I want to be an archer but I checked my stats after starting the game and my magic skills were much higher than archery skills, did I somehow influence the stats?

Received the game at about 12:30, taking my first break at 8:43. WTF? It isn't the prettiest game. It isn't the smoothest game in regards to fps. Textures look like ass. I've had one or two freezes. But DAMN if this isn't one of the most amazing atmosphere's I've experienced in a game. Music to die for. I just can't stop!
Wow, after having it freeze on me 10 minutes in the game has luckily behaved since. Just spent a solid 7 hours straight on it, really liking it so far.
Combat is fun, but playing as a mage is AWESOME. So glad I didn't go my usual thief/ranged character.
Like the story a LOT more than say Oblivion. Much better beginning to the game too. The quests seem a bit better, or else I'm just luckier and taking the 'best' subquests while progressing the main story and it's making it flow smoothly. No randomly getting lost and then trapped, surrounded by unwinnable fights like I constantly did in Fallout.
The graphics look great sometimes, really bad on occasion. Seriously, this is one of those games that makes me want the next gen of consoles to start soonish, I can't imagine how much better this would be if the framerate was locked (it's not bad really, but does chug now and then) and the weird graphical issues Bethesda just can never seem to avoid (fucked up shadows, weird lighting on occasion, textures etc) weren't there.

I didn't hate Oblivion but I didn't come close to finishing it (fucking bugged vampirism cure), and I'm liking Skyrim a fair bit more so far.Dr Eggman said:

I helped out an orc about 12 hours in who told me that he'd tell the orc settlements about me, so I guess they'll be a few places with a lot of them.Snuggler said:

ConvenientBox said:has this happened to anyone else?
Yes, those thugs almost kicked my ass. but the name on the contract was different one for me.
Once you're able to slow time it's pretty easy to just destroy an enemy before they ever get to you, even if they're tough and take more than one shot you can just spam your slow time and get in multiple sneak attacks. It's pretty crazy.Fjordson said:

Really? I saw a small group of Khajiit outside of some city setup in a tent selling some pretty cool stuff after about 20 minutes of time outside the tutorial section. I love how different an experience any two players can have.
