While there are plenty of other great games to be played right now, you should probably be playing Skyrim.

Pretty much. Wait and save some money, but it could be a year and a half before a GOTY edition comes out. Do you really want to wait that long? Plus, I'm getting the impression that it offers a lot of bang for your buck - I've already played almost 20 hours and I'm barely getting started.

Go for damage output, ex. The starting perks for 1 Handed and 2 Handed that boost damage are worth it, so are the armor perks if you're an armor user. Boosting health and stamina matter but don't seem to matter as much as good offense and defense stats from what I've played.
Besides that, you're going to get your ass kicked in this game. If you play smart, learn to retreat so you can heal/replenish magic, change weapons etc, you can tackle pretty much any enemy at (almost) any level. Provided you aren't outnumbered.
Enchanted gear can be a lifesaver too, I have some boots that boost my Stamina by 30 points, and a hat and hood that boost my magic regen to 100%, those have saved my ass quite a few times.
Man it's so awesome when you throw an offensive spell (fire/lightning/etc) at the same time the enemy does. Once the attacks meet in the middle, it's all "who got the bigger mana, fool??!" I get so hyped up I even start staring the dude down.
I forget sometimes that this is still just a video game

Does anyone know how to take in-game screenshots on the PC version? I am using FRAPS, but the screenshot function is totally unreliable. I think FRAPS starts to fail if I alt+tab or something.
Any suggestions?

Question: I just downloaded a 3 MB patch when I booted the game just now (9 pm PST) here on the 360. Does anyone know what that is for?
What is the benefit in specializing in heavy armor over light armor? I want to wield weapons and magic so i'm leveling one handed and destruction with conjuration as well. What armor type best suits that? I want to think heavy armor has a magic penalty? Maybe I am making that up...
Yep, mine died too. We got ambushed by a dragon out in the middle of the woods; she fought bravely but the dragon fire was too harsh for her. I avenged her death at least. But then I had to lug ~650lbs of all our loot all the way back to town. ~____~whalleywhat said:My Lydia died. Like, dead. She's not back at my place. Is that normal?

The game's Adept (normal mode) is well balanced. Certainly a lot more challenging than Oblivion's brain dead settings.
Without spoiling, can someone tell me if you can get every level of every shout in one playthrough? Basically, will there be enough (or infinite) dragons to get enough souls to get every shout to level 3?
I ask because I'm getting some neat sounding shouts, but if I have to limit the shouts I get, then I don't want to activate some of these.

Oblivion and Fallout 3 were two of the ugliest and most boring games I've ever played. Needless to say I was more than a little skeptical about Skyrim. Watched my friend play it on the 360 for about 30mins before I went out and bought my copy. I have now clocked 16 hours into the game between two characters and even this early in the game I feel confident in saying that, along with Dark Souls, this is one of the best looking, most fun and in-depth games I've played in a long time.
My first character was going to be kind of like a gladiator from the FFTA games where they have elemental swords and whatnot. So naturally I went with enchanting and set the difficulty to master. Big mistake, I played that char for 12 hours and died a -lot- because of how gimped I was. But even so, those were some addicting and fun 12 hours. I started a new character earlier today (a spellsword) and he's 50x more useful and the game is even more fun this time around even though I'm doing some of the same quests from my first char.
Cons: Holy shit bugs. Thankfully there have been no game breaking bugs (so far), and no crashes or anything like that but good god. I've seen birds stuck through a tree which caused its sound file to loop infinitely at a rapid speed, I've had an arrow bugged in my head for hours before it disappeared, there was one quest in Windhelm which required me to quickload like 20 times before it finally worked, etc.
I mean I understand it's a huge game and bugs are bound to happen but man.. I hope nothing worse comes along later in the game.
Still I am loving this game. Will be hard to find time to play other games when I already got Dark Souls and Skyrim to play!

Hmm. Its not so much the difficulty. Maybe i should rephrase my question. What would be the ideal scenario for progression early on in the game. Ive taken on a few side quests and theyre kind of a mixed bag. Some ive breezed through without breaking a sweat, a few others i just cant get passed being swarmed by two casters and three dudes swinging axes. Would playing the main quest be a good way to get over the initial hurdle?
Killed my first dragon, level 13 now. Quick question about the bones and scales. I don't have enough gold to buy a home yet and I don't have much room left to carry these around so I'm guessing I should sell them? Is it possible to give them to Lydia to hold on to if you don't own a home yet?
