I wrestled with the character creator because the menu system kept freezing. Not the game just the menus. Took me 45 minutes to make my character and I knew exactly what I wanted to be (Battlemage High Elf with proficiencies in Alteration and Destruction).Tenck said:
Does the PC version come with the world editor this time?

Oh, what? I think we're talking about different things. In my questBlue Ninja said:
a guy is investigating some house and wanted me to help him. We go in and a bit in everything goes red and the deadra tells me to kill him, then he says go further "into the bowels" for my reward, which was a cave dug out from the back of the house.

I asked this before, but just had to ask again:
Are their pets in this game? If so, what kinds can I recruit?

My current character is a Wood Elf Archer/Illusionist:
Archery
Illusion
Alteration
Alchemy
My next character will most likely either be an Orc Warlock (Destruction, Conjuration, Enchanting, Alchemy) or an Redguard Paladin (Block, One-Hand, Restoration, Smithing). I may make both and switch back and forth.

LOL.
So if you stack up 100% reduction in spell cost in a particular school, all spells cast in the school cost 0 magicka. It doesn't stack multiplicatively, it stacks additively. This is fairly gamebreaking as it makes it possible to spam extremely high cost spells (like destruction spells) at no cost as well as rendering the perks that reduce magicka costs of spells useless. It also makes +magicka and regeneration bonuses relatively useless as well unless you dabble in other trees and need magicka to cast those spells.

Welcome to Elder Scrolls. There have been extremely effective ways to break the game, but thats half the fun. You spend so many hours clawing your way up the ranks, only to become a god. I have very fond memories of flying over cities in Morrowind and machine gunning everything to death with rapid fire fireballs. And swimming in lava while gaining health.

Hmm, if I can
take that Argonian thief in Solitude with me and gut him, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Guy's annoying.

On PS3, press "Square" while enchanting. Not sure on other consoles, but there's going to be a prompt on the bottom of the screen.Firebrand said:

I enchanted an Ebony Sword with Soul Trap and named it Soulreaver. Badass.
I want Umbra or Goldbrand.

Dawnbreaker and Dragonbane are pretty cool, though.

PC master race and all that jazz.
I hope they brought back the Acrobat Wall Climbing skill and the wagon option for the horse. Both of those additions made life as a Thief much more fun in Daggerfall than in Morrowind or Oblivion.
Interesting idea! You're almost convincing me to do the same. I haven't advanced the main quest to make dragons appear yet either (lvl18 now) and I'm playing a sneaky archer/thief Wood Elf.GhaleonEB said:
I usually do everything with one character in these games but in this game it seems trying different playstyles would be a lot of fun. At the same time it sounds like you can get pretty good at everything when you get high level.. hmm decisions decisions.
Would be cool to try a dark elf Battlemage or a two-handed Nord warrior..

When you disenchant something, you only learn the actual enchantment, so you'd learn Fortify Lockpicking. If your enchanting sucks and you use a petty soul gem, maybe you'd be able to re-enchant an item with 1% Fortify Lockpicking. If you're an awesome enchanter and use a Grand Soul gem, maybe you'd get 30% Fortify Lockpicking.
You only need to disenchant an item once, so once you've disenchanted an item with Fortify Lockpicking you will never be able to do it again since you already know the enchantment. The rest (%, etc.) is up to your enchanting skill and the soul gem you use.
Hope that helps.
Posted this on reddit but I want to post this here as well.
So I want to make all PC users aware of this mod as it completely changes the way the game looks for the better. I took some screenshots showing the difference, and I can't go back after using this.

Trying to kill Lydia, as there's no way to get her out of my Whiterun house (she constantly sits at the table in my room and watches me sleep...brr...). I sent her up against the Giant camp outside of Whiterun. She got beaten down a few times until she was hit by a giant so hard that she went flying into the air and never came back down again.
I thought she was finished and went on my merry way, only to see the "Your follower got tired of waiting, etc" message a few days later. I wasn't incredibly surprised - she must have landed so far away that I didn't see her hit.
Any suggestions on how to kill this woman without murdering her in cold-blood?

About 40 hours in and I've finally decided I should trek my way up to High Hrothgar. Probably do a main quest or two(or three if I'm really enjoying them) and then get back to just wandering the fuck around.3chopl0x said:
And again, thanks guys for letting me know about mapping things to the left/right buttons on the d-pad. So incredibly helpful.
