I did. My initial impression of the game was not great, but I've played games that gave bad first impressions that I went on to love. I am really giving it as much of a chance as I can, and I do want to enjoy it. People just seem to be doing much more interesting things than I am and I'm trying to find it.

I don't like the Ui in this game, but I can't remember Oblivions for comparison. I think it handled multiple equips better though, using 8 point dpad slots? I have a sword + shield, 2 hander, and a bow. I can't add a dual weapon config for quick access.
Just hit level 16 and I'm just now starting to feel overwhelmed.
It's like whenever I walk into a new city I'm overrun with quests and things to do. I've really gotta take breaks away from the game to think about how I want to move forward.

Earlier I tried to attack
the Greybeards...it did not go so well. He did a shout that sent me FLYING into the wall, all the tables and shit flew with me. It was a pretty great death.

I find it humorous when I get one of those slow-motion kill shots and my character has an arrow or some other projectile clean through his head.
It has been repeated a lot, but I have to say again how awesome playing a pure caster is in this game. I'm going with mostly conjuration and destruction, with a bit of restoration and alteration on the side, and it feels really satisfying to buff yourself before a hard fight, summon your minions, lay your traps and mostly just defend and cast a bolt or two while watching the actual battle unfold. And almost every new spell you get opens up new possibilities.
You can talk about the improvements to dungeon design, character art style or environments all you want, but considering how horribly boring magic was in vanilla Oblivion I believe it's actually the single greatest improvement in TES V.

Hoping it does work because that's where I'm headed. Where can I get those daggers, btw?TheExodu5 said:Anyone know if dual wielded daggers work for backstabs? I see "15x damage", but I'm wondering if it's just on the first hit, or if it works on the full attack.
If it does work, my dual elven daggers would do 750 backstab damage.

Okay, I just had an assassin try to kill me with a DB note on him. Does this signify the start of the Dark Brotherhood quests?
Also, I haven't ever heard of the thieves guild yet. As far as my level 18 dunmer is concerned, there is not thieves guild in Skyrim. Can somebody clue me in to where I can find the beginning thread for these two guilds? General town, preferably?

Is it worth it to keep the housecarl around? I can see advantages, but I always loved playing these games on my own.

Just met my future wife. Ysolda in Whiterun. This chick digs the kitty. All I had to do was slay a mammoth and give her the tusk.
Her: "So ...are you interested in me?"
Me: "Yes. Yes I am."

Oh Boethia is such a dick, even for a Daedric prince.

For her quest you have to bring her a follower to be sacrificed. I nearly took Lydia, until I remembered the companions you can hire for 500 gold in various inns
Argh waiting to upgrade my machine has me theorycrafting characters I want to play.
A Conj/Dest Mage that uses Atronachs and bound weapons.
A thief/archer/dagger dual wield/alchemist Bosmer.
A heavy armor/2H/Conj death knight-type character that uses the Necromancy-focused Conj spells.
Why do computers have to be so expensive -_-

Thanks for the tip. (Fast travel is cheating...carts are not, but they are for the weak and elderly. Also, bretons.)
I just ran across a troll fighting two spriggans and an ice wraith. Then, I heard a dragon roar, swoop down over the mountains, blast the ever-loving shit out of all of them, then turn on me. I chugged an resistance to frost potion, darted between rock outcropping while peppering him with firebolts before rushing in with my personally-created axe, leaping on top of his head and delivering a flurry of blows that sent him to the afterlife.
I had to turn the game off for a bit, because nothing was going to top that for a little while.
