I named my character Odrin. I lol whenever I see a bunch of bats fly at me.

My biggest complaint right now is that it can be pretty difficult to tell who's an enemy and who's not when you're sneaking around.

Where do I get this spell?TheExodu5 said:
Holy. Shit.
This is the only game that has ever made me feel sick about killing someone. Everyone is so life like and everyone feels like part of a community. By killing someone I feel like I'm destroying the hearts of plenty others. I couldn't even kill the woman who ordered thugs to kill me (she was the owner of a tavern). I feel attached to everyone haha.
The radiant system is the best thing I've seen in a game in a long time. Far from perfect but it's still stunning.
Yea, for me this game shits on everything else.

Anyone know how to get rid of arrows. Got 1 arrow on my head and 1 on my abdomen that seem to be permanently attached.

Unless there is something that can only be made with Alchemy, it doesn't seem like it would be worth pouring points into. Potions are abundant in the game.

not Surposed to?
You go where ever the hell you want
A few tips on the controls and one on the UI:
- Clicking the right stick and holding, while moving the left stick up or down adjusts the camera in third person.
- You can assign Quick Select items to left and right on the d-pad by holding them in on the Inventory screen.
- Hold down A to pick up objects to move them.
- The little up arrow next to items in the Inventory screen indicates what the game recommends using/equipping based on your current character.

No idea how a 1090T stacks up to Sandy Bridge, but almost every modern game I have benefited dramatically from my going from a Core 2 Quad @ 3.4ghz to a Sandy Bridge i5 @ 3.3ghz. The architecture is just far superior. Running that and a 5870, and the game never goes below 30fps, and is usually in the mid-50s. I'm playing with ultra settings at 1920x1200, tree/world shadows set to '1' in the ini, 2x MSAA, 16x AF, FXAA checked.

I must have missed that in the intro. As a Nord, I was all pumped to join the Stormcloaks and liberate my homeland, but that one comment kind of killed my motivation. Definitely having second thoughts now. Also, Ulfric seems like a bit of a dick.
Oh, and regarding the Shouts, if you already have a dragon soul when you find a new Word, you can select/hover over the Word in question and hit 'R' on the keyboard (probably 'X' on the 360 pad) to pour the Dragon soul into and activate the new Word.

Thank effin' god. That is driving me insane...
The taverns I've been in have been exactly the same. Worst part of the game.TheExodu5 said:
Morthal is my favorite town so far. I know everyone and love them all haha. The quest about the burned down house was insane. I
broke into Alva's house earlier and found out her secret, killing her.
got Thonnir killed (I think). Feels bad man.

Fuck man, that is really tough.
Right now Skyrim and The Witcher 2 are about tied for me. I'm not sure if either of them beat the enjoyment I got from Dark Souls (which I still haven't completed). They are all so very different, though. Very hard to choose...
This game world is art. Seriously. I look at Riverwood, think how idyllic it is (wouldn't you love to live there?), look at the magnificent scenery, think of the other such landscapes in the game and i have to conclude this game is art.TheExodu5 said:
Well the game world and soundtrack anyway.
Question about the bucket of "Miscellaneous" quests in the log. I've got about a dozen active now, and set about to complete one. Problem is, when I select the "Show on Map" option (press X), it never marks the quest on the map. I'm selecting the quest, and then that option, and it just takes me to the map screen, no marker placed.
I took a bounty at Rorikstead, and cleared out a cave of bandits that was harassing the town. Now my next step is "Collect bounty from Proventus Avenicci". I canvassed the town and didn't find him, so I moved on. Tried to start a second one I ran into, same issue, and so on.
Does the game not place markers for side quests? I have no idea where any of these are.

While climbing up the steps to the Greybeards, a snowy sabrecat attacked me and killed my horse by knocking it off the mountain. I killed the thing, but I had to reload my last autosave because my horse was dead.
I only lost like 10 minutes though, so not a big deal. Still, that cat was tough.

Holy crap. I have been playing the game for about 8-9 hours straight (with breaks).
It's beautiful... I even forgot about this thread.
I've mainly been spending my time around Whiterun and doing quests, exploring. I'm actually holding off on alchemy and smithing for the time being until I actually get my house. So I'll have things organised, all the materials and ingredients I need to do as much as I want. All my stuff is spread over 2 places (Gerdur's house in Riverwood and the Companion's HQ in Whiterun). I've been selling a ton of stuff and doing some mini-quests to save up the gold I need for a house. Currently at 3500, almost there.
I joined the Companions as well. I'm about to do the first main quest in that line. I did the introductory one (
). I'll do the next one tomorrow.
As for Whiterun, I absolutely love it. The style between the districts, the sky forge looks beautiful -- I can't wait to use it, the rivalry between Battle-Born and Grey-Mane and of course Dragonsreach. Once I get a house, I'll loot the hell out of that place and sell as much as I can.
I also went out and got some guys sword from
Just as I was leaving that area to head back to Whiterun, it was 1am and the aurora borealis came up. It was beautiful. I just stood there and stared at it. Then I found
That freaked me the hell out.
I also spent quite a bit of time grinding my skills in the game. I've still been mixing it up with one-handed + destruction as well as two handed. I've yet to find an enchantment that I really want though. It's still early so I'm bound to find something. I've also been trying to grind my Archery even though I've hardly been using it because I need the space in my inventory. I've just been hunting a bunch of mudcrabs, foxes, elks around the tundra near Whiterun. I had a blast doing that. Even ran into a few Sabre Cats.
Then there's the graphics. The art style is phenomenal as usual and the rest ranges from average to brilliant. There's just so many picturesque scenes.
And finally, I did have an encounter with a dragon in the tundra. It was amazing and unintentionally hilarious. It was a three way battle between me, the dragon and a couple of giants with their mammoths. The dragon couldn't decide who to attack so it just went berserk. I eventually killed it after a fairly long battle. Then the two giants and around 3 mammoths started chasing me through the tundra. I turned back when I knew it was clear and I saw one of the mammoths just stop as if it were tired and gave up.
I'm loving it. Still, I've hardly done anything. I've not even explored Falkreath Hold yet or even 15% of Whiterun Hold. Tomorrow, I'm going to try and get as much gold as possible so I can get my house. I also bought a horse today but I haven't even been using it. Hell, I've not even used fast travel once. I'm only going to use it when it's really necessary.
