oh, sweet. i've been doing this since the start with a dagger/sword combo just by chance.
15x backstab perk with 2x backstab DB gloves is pretty ridiculous. am i right in thinking that when i level sneak to 100 and get shadow warrior that i can just enter sneak during fights, quickly attack and get my 30x multiplier on a dual wield attack instantly? cause if that happens its going to be hilarious.
anyone else not using a mercenary/companion at all? it was really taking the immersion out of it for me hanging around waiting for some daft bint to catch up, and running back when she glitched to guide her round corners. go back to the jarl hen.

i had this happen with my one handed, it was at 60 and dropped to 20 in red. i went into active effects and there was nothing negative there. it's just a glitch and seems to have no effect. if you level up the skill it should go back to normal, did for me anyway.
This thread is almost to 20,000 too now, jesus. I think it's going to beat Dark Souls to that number? And I already thought that was fast.
Game is good but there's just a ridiculous amount of things to do, and it muddies the water of quality sometimes some of the stuff is really lame and fetch-questy. But that's the associated risks of a game this big, I suppose. I got the "Explorer" notch in my belt already, for visiting 100 places, and I've only been to two of the nine holds that the Jarls hold. That's insanity. I've been playing for like 52 hours now.

Lol yeah, my biggest complaint about the game is that it sucks up all my time, i'm starting to feel guilty because i spend every free minute playing it because it's so fucking awesome, and neglecting my social/gf time.Amir0x said:
Then again, watching a movie, playing soccer or slaying a fucking dragon, how hard should that choice be?
is this game the same as oblivion? i got bored in that game because it was so open-ended that i could go anywhere and do anything and kill anything since the enemies levelled up with you that it all felt pointless after a few hours so i quit
the massive response to it has me thinking i should try it, so i came here to ask that first

Dude I understand completely. I warned my fiancee about this game before it came out. I was like "Listen babe, this next week is going to be a little awkward. I've got Skyrim, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Skyward Sword. I know! I play too many videogames already! But this week... this week is special. I'm going to need some real -ME- time. Like, maybe...I'll be marathoning...on the tv... for, like, hours."
She squinted her eyes and scrutinized me and after I marathoned skyrim for 34 hours, she didn't talk to me for like half a day
Bear Grylls, master alchemist.
Speaking of, I really need to sit down and level my Alchemy a bit. In my house I have like a billion ingredients stored in the laboratory. I think any spare perks I have left after I get everything I want in Conjuration/Restoration/Alteration are going into Alchemy.

I assume you used this time to play more Skyrim? Still have a week left before I hopefully will be able to play, just have to get my hands on a 360 at Black Friday. It's getting hard to start avoiding videos so I don't ruin anything past the first few hours.

Fortunately, my wife was there for both Morrowind and Oblivion, so she knew what was coming with Skyrim. At least this time I'm playing on the PC in another room, so as not to disturb her girl shows.

That's why I joined the Empire: to give those High Elf bastards a close encounter of the Wulf kind.Pandaman said:
Which involves decapitations. Lots and lots of decapitations.

If you own a horse, it just appears in the city stables or if you fast travel, next to you (only outside of cities, if you fast travel to Dragonsreach for example it'll be waiting at the stables). Waste of money still if you ask me,
there's a quest in Riften you can do to get a horse for free.

I...er....yes
I played more Skyrim. Lots more. I'm fucked.Mango Positive said:
She doesn't really like these types of games in the first place, but it REALLY annoys her when I pay like no attention to the outside world for over a day. I have fits of that anyway since sometimes I get really introspective and introverted and don't feel like being bothered, but when a game is involved she feels like I should be able to control myself.
I understand what she's saying but I'm too addicted to Skyrim right now...

OMG, that might have to be the name of my next character.
Had my second total lock-up this morning (PC), had just left Helgen after revisiting to see what was up. Thought it had done the same last night after I disenchanted a few items but it woke up after about 15 seconds.

Don't go all Korean on us and fall over dead.
Just hit Lvl 22
And now, things are starting to go funky with the graphics. Dammit.
Only hit a few minor problems with textures before this (in store viewing items), that some textures weren't loading up on some items. But now, anything in the distance further than say 2-300 meters away onwards. Yuk! (for this Gen standards).
The Framerate is dropping alot too.
Sad, sad day.
I must admit when i heard people say/said Playstation era graphics i thought, dramatise much? But yeah, not very appealling at all
Fix this shit Beth, or i'm going Guerrilla Games on your ass!
Starting to be one of the best games this Gen i've played, only to be turning foul for playing/enjoying
Its going to be a love hate relationship, i can see it now.
"I just wanna play it, but i cant. Fuck it i will, but i musn't."
lol...*sigh

i like how you can get quests for reading books or opening chests and get certain items
i was down near sunguard and went in a cave where two bears was, and opened a chest and got a meridian gem or something and got a side quest.

A Skyrim LOLWUT moment from last night's play. Was walking past Fort Greymoor and decided to revisit that. Instead of the bandits I think were there the first time, it was full of Imperial scum. I found a trap-door on the ramparts which put me somewhere the Imperials didn't like. Two hits took out Mr "Oi trespasser, piss off", then I noticed that was the fort commander. 3 solders ran in and they ate it too. Figured I'd explore the rest of it then another 5 dudes warp into the room out of thin air and cream us. Star Trek up in this bitch!

Question about levelling up skills:
Is the only thing level 100 one-handed weapons compared to level 20 one-handed weapons the fact that I can use higher level perks? Is there any other benefit from having higher levels?
Wait, you can upgrade Dragon shouts?

they're working together in that they aren't actively killing each other and are at 'peace'.Izayoi said:
Infact when you join the empire they pretty much say that the empire at large views the skyrim war as distraction to build up for the next war with the thalmor.
Skill determines effectiveness outside of perks. Fortifying Conjuration for example reduces the mana cost of all Conjuration class spells by 1% per skill level. For weapons base damage increases with skill, and with armor protection goes up with skill.
Edit - spell scaling is wrong, actually. I'll double check it tomorrow. Spells do not cost 0 mana at 100 skill, obviously.

Fackin' sweet!
Re girlfriend issues: I have an amazing and understanding gf who doesn't break my balls!
So I'm lvl 40, have every single upgraded shout, completed all the guilds and the main quest, have the best armor and weapon in the game (for my spec) all that's left for me is sidequests and leveling my destruction magic to master (it's 70 atm)
Played for over 80 hours already, this really is the game of the forever.
