Anyone know if there's some conflict between the Companions guild and the
quest? I picked that quest up very early in the game but haven't done anything with it yet, and I'm curious if completing it will end up
.
No idea how that quest would end up going.
Ill Met By Moonlight
removing my ability to turn into a Werewolf. The quest involves decursing Hircine's Ring, but it's already decursed post-Werewolf ritual with the Companions)

Is there any benefit to one weapon type over another? I'm using maces right now as they always seem to have higher base damage compared to any other weapon of the same material.
Also, I notice sometimes in the inventory certain items have a triangle to the right. I'd assumed that indicated the best item I could wear, but why would one type of steel armor have priority over another? (The very basic steel armor got the triangle over a similar piece that had pauldrons but identical stats.)

Sweet just got smithing to 100 and did all the heavy armor perks for dragon armor, killed 5 dragons so I had plenty of mats. Just had to take my gold from wiping out the dark brotherhood and make a ton of iron dagger. Now rocking a full suit with Legendary upgrades.
Now looking for ebony/daedric ore so I can make better swords then Skysteel. Dual wielding them now, at 50 damage with Legendary upgrades and the 80% perk.
Lvl 25 and loving this game!

I'm sorry but I hope Bethesda goes right into the DLC and then into TES VI. I'm not really a fan of the Fallout world. Elder Scrolls is so much more immersive IMO. I guess I don't like the guns and stuff in fallout. Much rather have the swords and magic of TES.
Most of the items are fodder to sell. The crafting system in the game has improved dramatically so chances are you will just use the items you find will either be destroyed for enchanting or sold for gold which you will need to make better armor and enchanting your armor and weapons.Ceebs said:

I hate that early on at least it completely drains magicika.
But it's definitely awesome and badass to the extreme, especially the fact that you can do it literally as soon as you
have your hands unfreed in that room with the goodies; there's a second sword hanging on the wall there

I'm actually seeking out that bastard! He hired a bunch of thugs to rough me up all because I took a book after ridding a wolf out of his home....I mean, really? I get rid of the beast for you and that's how you repay me?!
Seriously can't stop playing this game and was up until 4am last night playing but as a result had two jaw dropping moments. The first happened when traveling to Riverwood in the middle of night with a clear sky and the stars shining and I was looking at the moons when all of a sudden I hear this scream and a dragon comes scooping over the mountains and gunning straight for me. Dragon went down fast thanks to the guards from Whiterun patrolling and it helped unlock my second shout.
The second "awe" moment came right after fighting the dragon. I got about half way to Riverwood when I noticed a red glow in the sky so I look up and see a aurora borealis in full effect and look around to see it stretching in the distance, at first a bright red and then turning to purple and blue before reaching the inn at Riverwood and calling it a night.
Awesome.

I have an interesting question: In the trailer we saw a clip of your character assassinating someone from behind by grabbing them and slicing their throat. HOW DO I TRIGGER THIS ANIMATION?! I have daggers but nothing happens. Please tell me they didn't take it out.

I was reading that 100 smithing with perks accordingly doesn't yield what you might expect in terms of armor rating vs time/perks spent to get there. C/D?

Just from what I've heard of the Elsewyr from the Khajit traders, that sounds like an interesting place to go. It would be a really awkward title for a game though...
Ok GAF, help me out!
Minor quest related spoiler from Whiterun:
I got a letter
Any ideas?
Minor quest related spoiler from Whiterun:
I got a letter
from Skulvar Sable-Hilt in Whiterun after I was being silly and Fus Ra Doh'ed half of the town. It went on about my assaulting one of the NPC's (Bruinen, the homeless dude) and said he wanted my willingness to use force to help him with something. It says to 'call on him' when I'm in Whiterun. I've tried just about everything and he's still going on about horses.
Any ideas?

30 hours in and so far it's one of the least buggy games all year.

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.
I'm getting mugged by dragons left and right now. I had a moment where I was sneaking around one dragon, when another dragon landed on top of me. Another jump me when I was smacking some wolves, and another crash a stealth mission quest for the thieves guild.

I was sort of hoping for this as well after running into my first caravan on Friday. The only thing is that it almost sounds like the Fallout world of Tamriel.
Wow, has anyone else done the Dawnbreaker quest? That quest is by far the most epic one I've done yet. I think it was Daedra related but I'm not sure, at the end of it I unlocked a Daedric achievement so it must have been. If you haven't, I suggest adding it to your list of things to do. Damn good quest with a great reward at the end.
It's kind of easy to miss, so here's how to get it started:
Go to Treva's Watch,
and the quest is begun .
I was starting to feel that the quest's I've done so far haven't been that memorable, this one is on par with the Daedric Crescent quest in Morrowind for me, just awesome.

Go to Treva's Watch,
a camp overrun by Mages and Bandits West of on the North side of the river, raid the place, kill everyone inside etc. Then go to the top of the tower. In one of the Cabinets next to the Enchanting table is an Orb, grab it

Aye, really need to agree. Still majorly disappointed at the loot in this game. same fucking items everywhere still. I get that they want to do it for keeping the lore and stuff consistent, but please, there's nothing interesting about 99% of the items... you would think that makes the named ones all the better but somehow it really doesn't. Diablo/Torchlight/WoW style itemization would have made this game better than it already is.

Zeliard said:Yeah those probably are. I think there are probably randomized quests within each guild as a way to fill them up with more stuff to do.
Man I need to go find me a mage follower. Would be awesome.
Not sure if you got a response on this, but there's a dude in Riften; think he normally hangs out in the Inn. He's a comically powerful mage in my experience. Shit just tends to explode when he's hanging around.

I think a combine Elsweyr/Valenwood would be really cool. They're about the size of Skyrim together, and the team could have a bigger range of environments. That's probably what I would choose if I was calling the shots. High Rock sounds cool as hell but it's not very shapely; also Daggerfall was largely set there of course. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing them redo the High Rock/Hammerfall area Daggerfall covered(obviously a much smaller version).

Only thing that bugs me about the loot is that level scaling for merchants is really obvious. That needs to be considered with the improved enemy scaling. Just like if every bandit is wearing Ebony, if every merchant is wearing Ebony it makes it a bit less special. This is stuff that will be easily corrected with mods in the near future so I'm not too bummed about it.
Speaking of stuff for mods to correct, anyone notice that there is basically only two child models? One guy, one gal; all seem to have the exact same face and clothes. And needless the say the same voice actors. Nitpicky I know, but does kind of make me roll my eyes.

I think my game may be broken. I'm right at the beginning of the game and I have to speak to Alvor the Blacksmithin his house to advance the plot. I speak to him and his nephew but other than general dialogue options nothing happens and my quest log doesn't update. There's a quest arrow on Alvor but that's it.
Any help? Can I just go to Whiterun?

I played the first 20-30 minutes of Skyrim. I was kinda like "ehh, this is okay but it kinda looks like a slightly better looking Oblivion" and left off just before I left the first dungeon area. I wasn't terribly impressed-- I thought maybe there was some sort of reality distortion field going on or that I overhyped it in my head too much.
Then today I hooked up my gaming laptop to my TV and played some more and finally got out of the first dungeon into the open world. At that point I said "HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS AMAZING". I was only running at 720p with 2xAA (on my laptop) but it still looked amazing on my TV.
It feels like the first part was made with the Oblivion engine (with way too many closeups to ugly human character models & their really badly modeled hair) but then when you get past that it turns into what the real Skyrim is.
