I've been trying to avoid reading this thread because I still have the Witcher 1 and 2 to play through, but these stories are amazing and are going to force my hand.

 

[AngelSoldier]

The greatest WRPG ever made. I am addicted to this game.

death by clumsiness


Anyone else playing this on the highest difficulty? Not sure what it does.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Is there any way for me to get to Esbern without

Spoiler

doing the ridiculous Thieves Guild quests

? Because it is really effing annoying if that is the sole way to reach him.

So I just got a new dragon shout and then I killed a dragon but I cant use the shout, whats up with that?

Go to the shout in the magic menu, look at the bottom left and it will tell you which button is to use the souls for the shout. I think on the 360 it's X.

 

[cnizzle06]

I feel really short in this game. Was there a height option during the character creation?

 

[Tenck]

Anyone getting stat bug once in awhile, weapons are showing stronger then equipped weapon when its not, ps3 version.

Yup. Just started to ignore that.

 

[Tieno]

What do spell tomes do? Are they one-off use?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Fuck man, first dragon fight....I am shit, I have no archer skills!! Why can't I just two hand sword this asshole to death.

 

[CrazyDude]

Does anybody know why everybody us telling me I look sick?

 

[CSX]

Played a few hours. Got to a quest where I had to investigate a village destroyed by a dragon attack.

THEN MY GPUS BLEW UP!!!

Going through RMA right now. One week without skyrim...life is so cruel.

 

[Khezu]

For all who like sissy weapons, there is a katana or "blade sword" in daphnees room, hanging on a weapon rack, at least it was there for me.

 

[Clevinger]

Man, these witches I found just kicked my ass hard. The first few went down easy, but this one far away was shooting these fireballs that were like mini-nukes. Shot my ass up into the sky when I died.

 

[Tieno]

check your Magic -> Active Effects. Anything red? Then go to a shrine/Temple to remove them.

You can. It lands every so often. When it gets weak it stops flying altogether.

 

[Wallach]

They permanently teach you that spell. Scrolls are one-time use spells.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

But the flames! They burn! And I am slow. :_(

I could give it a shot next time, but I fear failure is imminent.

Stupid me, I've been saving them for later. Only level10 so it's not that much.

Lydia already got killed, by some blue frost lady/witch.

Thanks.

 

[les papillons sexuels]

so I glitched the game into giving me an over the shoulder view which is freaking amazing.

 

[Tieno]

Thanks.

A Shrine or Temple cures your deseases and gives you a specific active effect.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Why do guards in Whiterun keep saying "hey, I know you"? Bounty on my head?

 

[Evlar]

Thanks, by the way... I didn't know how to check for active effects.

The key to low level dragon fights is using the environment. That and cheesing the fuck out of it if an opportunity presents itself. Also, once you power up your first shout you can use that to interrupt the dragons flame attacks

 

[stupei]

Why do guards in Whiterun keep saying "hey, I know you"? Bounty on my head?

Could be, but have you done anything impressive or especially good? If you stick around they might say something about you being dragonborn or comment on a questline you've advanced in -- particularly if you've joined the Companions.

So the shouts level up through use like everything else? Didn't realize that.

 

[odin toelust]

No, they level up by learning new words, which you will find on various walls throughout the game. Skills level up by use.

edit: i shouldn't have said power up, activate would have been better word choice

 

[SteveWinwood]

Why is everyone saying I look sick? I've gone to bed. Been to temples. Is it some story thing? Or are they just saying i'm ugly because I'm a lizard? Or is it a story thing not yet revealed?

No the shouts level up when you learn more words concerning that shout.

 

[CrazyDude]

There is nothing like seeing an aurora over a mountain with great music to add to the atmosphere.

 

[Einbroch]

Shouts make this game so awesome. I mean, it's awesome on it's own, but the addition of shouts was brilliant.

 

[Fahrenheit]

Say the same thing to be and i'm a nord.

That question and answer is on this page (50 ftw) anywho, check your active effects for a disease or something. Go to a temple to cure.

edit: nvm. didn't read your post. sorry to bother you sir...

 

[Tenck]

Trying to go the Archer/Mage route. So tough when magika and petty soul gems wont do you much!!

The magika is so slow to get back. Maybe I'm just over thinking this and it's all in my head, since I also feel very tired :/

 

[cackhyena]

Am I missing something, or can you not assign quick weapon layouts to the dpad's left and right?

 

[Einbroch]

Hold it down for a few seconds to assign. Then you can use them.

 

[bowery]

You can't unlock it or what?

Yeah I click on the shout and it says I need a dragon soul to activate the shout

 

[MrBig]

So I just got a new dragon shout and then I killed a dragon but I cant use the shout, whats up with that?

Same happened to me. I figured it was because I tricked some super-alchemist into mostly killing the dragon for me (and the dragon did the same to it).

You have to press X (or equivalent) to unlock a learned shout after absorbing a dragon soul before it can be equipped.

 

[cackhyena]

I'm dumb. Thanks. Ten hours in and I just find this out.

 

[bowery]

Is there like an inventory for how many dragon souls you have? If a bandit lands the killing blow on a dragon do you still get the soul?

 

[Deleted member 17706]

So are the PC controls really that bad? I heard that the UI was pretty much based around the controller.

I think the PC mouse/keyboard controls are pretty great. It took me a couple of hours to get used to them, but they work really well within the context of the game.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

ok, here's a weird problem: my bluetooth keyboard will randomly disconnect playing this game. ONLY happens in this game, doesn't happen any other time. really stumped about what could be causing this.

 

[Absoludacrous]

A Woolly Mammoth killed a dragon for me and I still got the soul when I walked up to it and looted it.

 

[BoobPhysics101]

My lvl 8 Dark Elf Mage/Assassin named Meatpickle really enjoys being a morally ambiguous guy.

I mean, his name is fuckin' Meatpickle. He's got a lot on his mind.

X on which console? I have a shout but still no dragon.

 

[TheExodu5]

32 hours. How the hell have I played 32 hours. ;_;

 

[BeeDog]

I'm not liking the fact that a mammoth, a giant or especially a fucking Wispmother are much, much harder than a goddamn dragon.

 

[sixghost]

Couple questions

Has anyone else gotten a glitch when trying to cast a Bound X spell, or taking out a bow where the character doesn't actually equip the weapon? It seems like you're permanently stuck like this, as I couldn't switch to any spells or weapons. It happened at least 6-7 times in the

Spoiler

Mzith? ruins part of the Mage College quest line

. It seems like it was just something limited to that area though, as it hasn't happened since.

Also, I ran into a weird glitch after I bought the Iron Skin spell, I pressed A to learn the spell, but the book disappeared and the spell was nowhere to be found in my spell list. The mage that I bought it from no longer has the spell, any suggestions as to where I can buy that spell again? It's pretty important to my build.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

32 hours. How the hell have I played 32 hours. ;_;

Is this number on the stats page? I coulda swore I knew where it was when I started, can't find it.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Off with his head!

Relaxing at home after a day of adventuring.

I'm sure someone will make a mod that gives dragons big buffs and nerfs the fucking giants and mammoths. Giants really are ridiculous though.
