So you can enchant them, or sell them. I think thats it!Forkball said:What's the point of rings, necklaces, circlets etc? I can craft a bunch of silver rings with different jewels but they don't give me any stat bonuses.

J'zargo at the Winterhold College will join you, and he's a boss. Mages seem like the best companions, as their spells do good consistent damage with effects and they're less likely to run into any dangerously stupid positions.Mr_eX said:I'm getting annoyed with Lydia, are there better companions? There was this elf lady at the College of Winterhold that turned me into a horse(and a few other things) that I can have as my companion, is she any better?

mileS said:Is that the Krosis mask? thats the only one I got thus far but I know theres like at least 5-6 other marks that look similar. Krosis was a bitch but the mask is sooooo good I'll probably use it for the rest of the game.
I think for smithing, the higher tier stuff is dragon so you need dragon bits!Davedough said:Is there any real reason to hold onto the dragonbones and such? I'm afraid to sell anything for fear that i'll need it.
I'm sure mods for both are in the works.markot said:Yeah, UI needs alot of work >.<'
Can you get a dog/wolf companion in this game? Also one that never dies.

70 extra stamina Dragon Priest mask seems like the best one I've found so far, but I'm still missing a few.Papercuts said:It's Volsung, dunno what the rest do but this is 20% better prices at stores, 20 extra carry weight, and let's me breathe underwater(but I'm Argonian so that doesn't matter). I heard about there being more...I'm afraid.
That's pretty much where I am right now, but I'm not going to fight the dragon just yet, I don't like when my quest log gets backed up with too much to do, so right now I'm just checking off some side quests.gdt5016 said:I got to Whiterun, did some quest killing a bandit, explored the area, stayed the hell away from those Giants, and got back to talk to the Jarl. Put a few more quests-to-be-solved in my journal too. Now I guess we're going to fight a dragon.
Any general tips for this early part of the game?

Blizzard said:What concrete suggestions would you recommend? The UI has been quite functional for me so far, and I'm glad the mouse wheel works in it. There could be more options, and the biggest bug I have encountered is that sometimes the wrong dialogue option gets selected.

You mean perks or buying levels from dudes?Cudder said:Also, it may sound silly but I just realized that I shouldn't be upgrading the skills that my character is good at/constantly use all the time because those are going to level up quickly naturally.
80? I though perk cap was 70.webrunner said:80 total perk points.. a quick addition.... so I assume you can "just over" max out one "class".. about 5 or 6 trees.
On the 360 its up on the dpadckohler said:Someone several pages back said you could hotkey stuff to the left and right on the d-pad on the consoles. Is this true or were they full of it? I tried but couldn't get it to work.
If you want her before that, you can marry her.Mr_eX said:I just read that after you do the main quest line for The Companions you can have any of them be your companion and apparently Aela the Huntress is great. They're all suppose to be good though and don't lag behind your level as much.
They seemed to imply that left/right on the d-pad was IN ADDITION to up on the d-pad (the favorites menu).GhettoGamer said:On the 360 its up on the dpad
My understanding is, the soft cap (when it really slows progress down) is 50, and the hard cap is 70. But after three days of playing, I'm at 19, and things haven't slowed down. I'm worried that two weeks from now I'll be past the soft cap.Deadly Cyclone said:Isn't the top 70? I assume it slows down as you get higher too.
As mentioned, it's up on the 360. It's somewhat cumbersome in that it isn't like an instant cast or change or anything and you have to go through a menu selection, but it's the best we can get. You "favorite" an item/spell/etc. with Y and then it gets added to the list. Not sure if there is a cap on number of things that can be favorited or not.. I have about 15-20 things.ckohler said:Someone several pages back said you could hotkey stuff to the left and right on the d-pad on the consoles. Is this true or were they full of it?

Dice said:Question for someone who is married with multiple houses.
If I marry this priestess now, I assume she will go back to my house in Whiterun because she lives in her temple and has no place of her own, yes? Now, if I buy a new house, will she show up in any house I go to or will she stick to just one place? I will be putting this info in my marriage post, too.
PM me the answer because this thread moves too fast and I'm playing now.
I know that feel, bro.FIRE! BLAZING INFERNO THAT BITCH!
GarthVaderUK said:I got married to a woman from Whiterun, can't remember her name (lol) and I've no idea where she is - she's not in my house and she isn't where I met her - is this a bug or have I overlooked something?
Interesting, I don't believe this is explained anywhere in the game. I'm excited to go home and check it out -- will be quite handy! If you set a potion to this, does it automatically use it?AllIsOneIsNone said:Just go into favorites by pressing up on the d pad, highlight your intended spell/item, hold onto left or right on the d pad. done.
edit: this is the pc version with the 360 pad, I figured it would be the same.
The up on the d pad just gets you into your favorite selection. left and right on the d pad ARE instant.

I can't seem to remember any spots with one.

Glorious_Paradox said:I'm just about to finish Dark Souls and am looking for the next game to sink my teeth into. The thing is, I really like RPGs, exploration, freedom of choice etc. but Oblivion felt like a really, really poorly made game to me, so I'm hesitant of purchasing Skyrim in fear of Bethesda disappointing me again.
So, the question for me is this: has Skyrim improved enough over Oblivion to make it a worthwhile purchase? Or is it safe to assume that since I didn't like Oblivion that I probably won't enjoy Skyrim either?
