Judging from previews, death is the most likely answer.
I'm going to find the nearest city and look for quests that can prepare me before I go survivorman into the wilderness.

FOR THE EMPEROR!Clevinger said:
Am I the only one that actually misses athletics and acrobatics? Sure they were silly, but my favorite TES character ever was a vampire who could jump from rooftop to rooftop.
I was planning on making Thorfinn from Vinland Saga as a character when Skyrim was announced since it would really fit the setting, but one of the key features of his fighting style is extreme speed and acrobatics.
Oh well, most likely Altmer spellslinger/swashbuckler for me.
While I am posting here, how well do you guys think my laptop will run Skyrim? I know it will run it, but I know laptops are different than desktops even with parts of the same name. (And frankly I just know a lot more about desktop parts than laptop parts) I have an i7 Q720 (Which only runs at 1.6ghz), 6GB of ram for which I have no idea of speed and a Mobility Radeon HD 5850. I only have to run it at 1600x900 since that's my screen's max resolution.

Isn't there a Skooma equivalent in Fallout 3?GarthVaderUK said:
And when I finish the intro/tutorial, I will probably not touch the main quest for about 30 hours. I'm just going to explore and do side quests for a long time

What can I say, I like to make my characters high in charisma and security. Not looking to be slaughtered lol, would rather rob some rich people.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Ricker said:I just hope you are not one of these guys that does only that,finishes the game in 15 hours and complain it was boring and too short ;P
I`ll probably try and find the nearest town,or village so I can get a few sidequest and the like and explore from there.
I've never actually finished the main quest in any TES game... not in thousands of hours. haha
I'm too distractible.

I have to decide which of my two characters I am going to play:
- Dirk, an all-STR murdering sociopath who only uses his bare fists if at all possible to smite his foes, and stacks the corpses in a pile in the middle of the room/town as a warning to others. Must have black hair with the most ridiculous facial hair possible.
- Adelina, a rogue character who uses bows and daggers. Also murders everyone but does so from the shadows. Lockpicking master, etc. Helps people with their quest, gains the XP, and then murders them afterward.
I hate mage characters :\

They are doing some things with perks that make movement more interesting, like the sneak one that turns the sprint button into a forward tumbling roll that doesn't break sneak. I do hope that there are ways to increase general movement speed or jump height, but I kind of agree with the notion that they probably aren't great as skills that contribute towards leveling.

A problem I always have when playing these games is that I cannot get over not being able to access a chest or dialogue option. No matter what I intend to be when I start out, I end up pumping points into security. I will literally grind until I can open a chest. I can't move on.
How can I break this mindset? I want to be a Khajiit unarmed fighter mage

Stab yourself with a blunt spoon every time you attempt to open a chest.CrocMother said:
CrocMother said:
Just keep notes or something about chests that you want to come back for later. Remember that time spent grinding for a chest now is time you aren't spending finding something else awesome - including other new potential loot.
That said, it's pretty inconvenient to "grind" skills like lockpicking or speechcraft in this game. You can't level your way around it; you can only raise a skill by actually doing it. It's not like Fallout where you level up via experience and get to allocate points into your skills.

The ten and twelve year olds I babysit do nothing but that. They never seek out sidequests or randomly explore. I'm talking Oblivion, Zelda, Saints Row -- everything. Strictly by the book. It makes me sad.Ricker said:I just hope you are not one of these guys that does only that,finishes the game in 15 hours and complain it was boring and too short ;P
CrocMother said:
For the most part, you can obtain equal value to whats in that chest by doing a bit of petty pilfering. Unless tied to a quest or something of significance, stuff like locked chests are typically filled with vendor fodder. There may be the occasional really useful thing in there, but not usually. You probably already know this, but there's a part of your brain thats yelling out "this is the one! whenever you come across a chest.
Its lying to you.

There are spells/scrolls that can help you unlock stuff.CrocMother said:

True. I've never used Alteration because it didn't look cool.
Also, the question above about lockpicking is relevant. I just came off playing an overhaul mod of Oblivion that made you be a certain level before you could pick harder locks, so I forgot that isn't what it was like in vanilla.
In vanilla Oblivion, lockpicking skill was completly useless as anyone could pick any lock with little patience regardless of your skill level. And even easier once you gained the Skeleton Key artifact.CrocMother said:
Frankly i do not like Fallout 3/NV system as it forces me to allocate points to lockpicking while being relatively useless skill except for gaining a few unique items.

Max alteration, create spell called master of unlocking. Feel much more clever than I actually am. Good times.
