If you're not on PC, you're out of luck. Sorry.
Im starting to get a little concerned - Im at level 25 and feel like I still have a LONG way to go with the skills I want to master. (Archery, Sneak, Light Armor, One Hand) but I feel like there is no way I am going to be able to achieve this considering im already half way to the level cap.
Should I be worried?

Hey guys, I need some quick advice regarding the PS3 version. I know from the Digital Foundry write-up that the 360 version is superior, and I have a $50 Kmart coupon that I've been saving for Skyrim, but they're clean out of 360 versions. They ran out of Uncharted 3 the day after release and they still have not gotten any more copies, so I'm not hopeful of a restock anytime soon. Problem is they only have 2 PS3 copies of Skyrim left.
My question is, is it worth buying the PS3 version? I heard it becomes nigh unplayable when your save game exceeds 5 MB, and I don't want to get a game that will become useless to me once I pass a certain threshold. I'm planning to make a decision in the next few hours to make sure I can nab a copy, so any feedback from PS3 users would be much appreciated.

The amount of content is so ridiculous. I'm 45 hours in (easily the longest I've ever spent with a single player game), and I don't think I'm even half way through all the stuff I want to do.
And this is coming from someone who absolutely HATED Fallout 3. It may dethrone Portal 2 as my GOTY. Never been so addicted to anything :lol

There's no level 50 level cap. You can get up to about 80 total perks, and up to about level 81 player level if you max all your skills to level 100, so they say.The Chef said:
Has anyone seen the red skill glitch (?) on archery or whatever, when they already had the skill at level 100? Is there any way to fix it if so?

The Draugr Death Overlord I faced was an aggressive melee guy who was using (and dropped) an Ebony Sword. I faced him at level 17 on Master difficulty and he was by far - by FAR - the roughest enemy so far.
My battle with him featured me and my companion (who is a Conjurer) both summoning pets and shooting various magic at the guy with his health bar going down depressingly slowly.
And I would basically do everything to keep him from aggro'ing on me since he would just one-shot the shit out of me even with Stoneflesh on. I had to rely on the pets and the companion to distract him, but they would inevitably fall since he hits so hard.
So then I'd be running around trying to avoid the Draugr who was then focused on me, using shouts and other things on him to try and buy some space and time, while at the same time trying to get to my companion to use Healing Hands on her so she gets up. Had to do that a few times.
Awesome fucking fight. Tense and varied. Asshole killed my horse, though.
Can you get new smithing recipes beyond what the perks unlock? I had made two nice sets of dwarven armor for me and Lydia when I stumble upon... Steel Plate Armor. I want to make that!
Also realized that while you may need a perk to improve enchanted items, you don't need a perk to enchant improved items. Don't know if I'll get the perk, I guess I'll have to see what magical items I stumble across.

I'm at like 20 hours or so and only just now defeated the first dragon outside Whiterun. I can get so caught up doing random shit in this game it's unbelievable.
I'm now doing a quest that I got in Whiterun that's requiring me to basically go to one of the edges of Skyrim, far far away. I napped for 8 hours, strapped on some armour, and set out on foot to try and find this place, ready for any danger and awaiting any adventures that get in the way while I trek.
I love this game.
PS. The free house trick in Whiterun works flawlessly.(PS3 version)

I'm 36 hours in and my save file is a bit over 7-8 mb right now. Extended play times at this point do result in stuttering and frame rate drops (usually if I try to push it over the 2 hour mark). Load times have also gotten worse.
I wouldn't say that the game would be unplayable though. It's just a situation of once I get to that point, I delete former autosaves, turn off the PS3 and give it a little break. It starts back up without a problem after I do that.
Unplayable is really going to be determined by how many times you'll be sitting down and playing the game for over 2 hours in single sittings. If you do that frequently, you may be better off with another version.
Just my experience so far.

25+ hours and level 11 and I haven't encountered this problem. Try it out and before you know it a patch should be out.

Hmm OK thanks for the input. I've just seen videos where the framerate is literally horrendous, so that scared me.

40 hours in, and the only cities I've been to are Whiterun, Windhelm, Solitude and Riften. That's fewer than half, plus I have most of the small towns left to explore, AND all the countryside in between.
Add to that the Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Mages, Bards, civil war, and main quest, and I'm looking at a VERY long playtime.

Guh, the Thieves Guild is starting to get on my nerves. It was very strong for awhile but it has long since worn out its welcome.

Bit late but there's a guy in Riften (the Meadery, the Dark Elf at the counter) that you can Persuade infinitely. For some reason.
The Chef said:
You can level all the skills to 100. This will get you to around Level 81; supposedly, Level 50 is when the game stops scaling with you but I'm not certain on that. Also, Levels 51-81 take a bit more to level.

DB Hand Wraps vs Gloves:
So when you get the DB armor, next to it is more armor you can take.
The gloves you get give double backstab damage
The hand wraps on the table you get give double one handed sneak damage
So I am assuming daggers = backstab and other weapon attacks don't count within those?

so, after escaping the first town I decided to explore and do side quests and figured it was fine. I was talking to one of my students today who was asking about the game and how far I got and when I told him all the dragon words I had he was shocked at my ability to kill dragons. I haven't even seen a dragon yet (besides the games opening).
About this. I have like 5 different shouts, but only 2 actually usable (both learned at the training).Dice said:
I've killed like 5-6 dragons I think, maybe more. Not really sure. Do I need to do something specific to make my other shouts usable, or will that simply happen on its own at some point.
