loving this game, sadly it just gets me more hyped for another fallout. So far tho, going destruction, bow, light armor, sneak, and lock pick. Dark elf, loving destruction, perks seem to make it pretty do-able

Yeah, even though I can't run this at super settings, Skyrim has changed the way I view games.

This game isn't just an amazing video game, it's an amazing experience.
Gratz to Bethesda for living up to the massive hype.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
SERIOUSLY, I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH ALL OF A SUDDEN!
I just roamed into a random dungeon and got my ass whooped! That never happened in Oblivion, oh my God this is SOOOOOOO GOOD!

Question:
Is there a save place to horde loot before you're able to afford a house without fear of the game clearing it out?
I stuck a bunch of trivial stuff in the containers in my room at the Magic University to test it but I'm having a hard time carrying around all these Dragon Bones and Scales... not sure if it's vendor trash or if it's used for something later - Actually, I think I know what it's used for (
). I also have what's her face in Dragon's Reach as a "buddy" - is she a safe place to store items? I almost have enough for a house but I don't want to run myself completely dry on coin all at once.

Some kind of dragon armor I assume, can I sell the bones if I'm not ever planning to craft heavy armor?

They seem to kneel down and become incompacitated before perma-dieing which loses everyone's focus on them, meaning its really easy to keep them alive. It seems like the only way's to let them die is if you friendly fire them to death with unfocused magic spam, they get hit by the cross fire of everyone fighting you, or you put them in a situation where they are the only person enemies can attack.

WTF at the controller sensitivity (Xbox Controller on PC) changing based on your FPS.
Why the fuck don't they include some kind of library to store the books. It would give completionist whores something to do and be a handy way to pick up the books without them taking up space in your inventory.
And fuck do I hate having a finite number of things I can carry. The collection whore in me says to pick up everything.

I beleive you can store books on a shelf if you have a house.
Ungh, been playing this so much over the past day. I love this game.
Hardly spoilers (no story spoilers):
Dragon Shout spoilers:
Also, in general, the atmosphere/dungeons are at least a 100 times better than Oblivion. So much more diversity. I won't name any places just so I don't have to use spoiler tags again, but seriously. The outside world looks loads better, and the dungeons are loads better.
And I'm a sword/board warrior. And while I like the melee combat in Oblivion/Skyrim more than most people, it definitely got a lot more interesting/fun when you get some shouts to start using.
Hardly spoilers (no story spoilers):
I just went on a "quest" from Whiterun to Ivarstead. Not that far on the map. But it must of took me a couple hours because I kept getting distracted. Had my first "random dragon just finds you as you're traveling" moment. And I also found a word wall up in the mountains with a dragon near it, so got 2 dragons on the way to the town. Lost my horse to some idiot who tricked me into helping him, but had an ambush of dudes waiting. I'll miss you Allie. Finally made it to Ivarstead, but decided to stop because it took me so long.
Dragon Shout spoilers:
I got the Marked for Death shout. Where it "poisons" them and lowers their armor, and they glow purple. Awesome shout for non-mages, since the lower armor really helps with weapon attacks. KEH! I also picked up another word, but didn't unlock it. It gave me the ability to shout at a certain distance place, and it distracts dudes. Only worth it for stealth characters to distract them and then sneak attack them. So I didn't unlock it since I'm a warrior.

I just ran past it after trying to kill it once.taku said:
In fact, probably the only reason to bother with Oblivion over Skyrim now is price beyond the mods... and you'd be better off waiting on sales for both if that's your angle. As of right now, just get Skyrim and wait on another amazing Steam Sale for Oblivion if you're going to get one of the two right now.Hawkian said:

This. 1000x this. Oblivion fucks up everything you could possibly love about Fallout unless you use a complete overhaul mod and even then you're basically putting a glaze over a turd so you can say you did polish it. Skyrim seems so... so... so right.$hady said:

a quest called No One Escapes Cidhna Mine has a bug, it's first activated by entering the shrine of talos, where guards tell you to go to the cidhna prison or fight. if you surrender you go to cidhna prison. once you're out with the other prisoners, they fight all the guards and escape the city themselves.
but then once you reenter the shrine of talos, the same guards are there and tell you the same thing. if you surrender again, they will say go to prison but instead attack you.
all i want to do is enter the shrine of talos. did the same happened to anyone else?

I've found some elven armour which makes conjuration spells cost 20% less to cast. I also found a helmet but can't remember what that did.Morokh said:
Hmm after the replies and reading you guys gushing your hear out for this game I think i'll skip Oblivion and get this. Not worried about price point, i'd rather play the better game. Thanks
Gonna try to find a copy with a map inside, i hope... Read this on another board of rave reviews for Skyrim: You can tell if you have a premium map copy of the game or not by looking at the top left of the back of the box, if your copy is supposed to be a copy with a premium copy map, then there'll be a box there that says so.

Has anyone had any crashes yet? I had one yesterday that completely froze my 360 and I had to reset. Not good...
Thanks for your help guys.

Man, how long does it take to make the money to get a house? I seem to remember it being much easier in the Fallout games to find a place early in the game to stash your loot.
Probably not, no. This game has an enormous world with tonnes of different quests and missions to do. It would be pretty intimidating for someone who's never really played RPGs.weepy said:
But then again you never know. You should watch some Let's Plays on Youtube to get a feel for it and see if you find it appealing. You have to remember that the game becomes good once you let it draw you in, which will likely take a few hours at least.
