oh ok I see, thanks.
Stuff I did in Skyrim last night and this morning:
-Eldergleam quest - awesome. I made the most spectacular rescue mission, saving Lydia from certain death during that quest.
-Met a group of soldiers to look for
, only to also be met by a Blood Dragon. The 6 or so soldiers and I took that thing down in no time, and afterwards triggered a conversation with one of them (
) while the epic dragon fight music was still playing, making the conversation itself epic.
-Found an abandoned horse at an empty campsite in the glacial oceanic region way up north and took it for my own.
-Solved a murder.
-Met a Dunmer farmer with the last name of Hlaalu and had a good laugh.

Man, imagine if they just cut your head off in the beginning of the game. A whole lot more people would be alive right now.

So I just came back home with the PS3 version of Skyrim and played it for an hour or so (just got to the first village). The graphics are a little disappointing, but so far the game seems interesting. Can't say I've gotten far enough to really get a feel for the game yet, but it seems promising so far.

FWIW, I found a handy-dandy way of checking off tons of quests if you have too many, and want to make sure you complete them:
Go to your quest menu, and activate every quest you have - side, main and miscellaneous. All will appear on the map. That way, you can simply finish the next step of every quest nearest you. I had no idea there were ~4 quests I had taken in Whiterun, and have been able to knock them out very quickly due to this.

Minor early Greybeards question from when you first meet them:
If those other
Was that addressed and I completely missed it? It was getting pretty late.

If those other
Greybeards can't speak to you because they'll remove your skin from your bones with but a whisper, why was Arngeir able to talk to you? Presumably it's not something that can be dialed down by normal means or the others would.

Had my first random moment. Wouldn't recommend chatting it up with Thalmor Justicars on the side of the road. They're jerks.
Headed out from Riverwood, saw some dudes in fancy armor walking around, went to say hey, then they start being dicks and call me a heretic and try and kill me. I ran into the nearby meadery to avoid the 3 on 1 in the open, managed to take them down (had to down a bunch of potions though). Got some nice elven armor now.

Can anyone tell me if Soul Siphon in the enchanter line is a waste of 2 perk points? I'd get it for sure if I didn't have to first spend a point in "Soul Squeezer" but it seems super convenient just automatically recharging enchantment charges on deathblows.

Ha. Haven't had that happen at the college itself, but for me it definitely occurred in the town:

So I am now having SEVERE frame rate drops on my PS3 when I am in cities, especially White Run.
Like, bad bad.
Am I the only one?

Nah, the Thalmor are part of the elven empire that dunked on the Imperials in the previous war and forced them to sign the peace treaty that involved the ban of all Talos worship.
I can't remember what those guys are called... Vigilant or something like that maybe.

Where's a good place to sell leather chest armor? This shit is valued at 125 but my Thieve's Guild fence wanted to cop it for 67. Marcurio's packing like 6 of these things right now.

haha i'm still early on in the game (level 10) and encountered my first dragon out in the field, he shoots some fire and i'm circling underneath him casting frost bolts and trying to get a good angle when a bandit comes out of nowhere and starts wailing on me. i back up and start hitting him when a sabre cat leaps from the bushes and kills the bandit in two blows. it turns to me ready to jump, not noticing the dragon that has just landed to the left of us. I take two steps back and let the dragon blow the crap out of the cat. by which time i'm off to the dragon's side blasting it to pieces. i can take the fact that it crashes every time i quit (and consequently steam does a "first run" setup every time i start) for moments like that.

Yeah, that's them. Those guys are dorks man, I sometimes think about shouting them off the cliff when I come across them. I tried to help them once when I came across a pair taking on what looked like a mage from a distance in the snowstorm, but turned out to be
an very powerful vampire
reanimated the first one it killed, then almost got away by turning invisible at low health and bolting away in the snowstorm, but I managed to shout it down and plant a bound sword in her back before she could disappear.

so i think ive got a bug in the main quest
Im pretty far in (probably 10 or so quests)
edit: wow it just did it again, i haven't been able to get this thing to trigger, there is even a youtube video showing the issue
>>>WARNING A Main quest spoiler, WARNING<<<.
I really have to manually open the console, and type in some stuff to progress t Bethesda? Wow. I didn't even have to do that in New Vegas.

when you go to the flashback and the 3 say they are going to fight alduin, nothing happens they all stand there at the ready and just sit there with dragons flying around, i waited like 5 minutes and finally just quit out...

This game is fucking awesome.
Just looked at my timestamp and I'm 44 hours in, I thought it was around 25.
I'm level 22 and haven't beaten a single questline. I think I'm nearing the end of the thieves guild but that's it. At this point I'm pretty sure I'll be spending months with this game...

No, you're not. I just ditched a 40 hour save by getting rid of the PS3 version and switching to 360 because of those frame rate issues. The longer you play it only gets worse. Bethesda has acknowledged they're aware of the issue, and they are working on a patch, but if Fallout: New Vegas is any indicator...don't expect them to be able to fix it :\

Since we're approaching OT2, I just wanted to say what a great OP this thread has. Perfect length, a good amount of text, properly sized pictures. Good work, Blue Ninja!

Damn. This is not what I want to hear just as I am starting to enjoy myself with the game. First time I have had a game that feels like a goddamn ticking timebomb. I guess I want to keep playing with the delusion that "it won't happen to me", but that isn't sounding hopeful from all the cases I have been reading about.
