There are a few different types of Dragons, Blood dragons have a mean bite on Expert.

I am level 30 something and the hardest enemies are still dragons. Blood Dragons or Ice Dragons that is. Normal Dragons who haven't appeared for a long while and I might have seen 2 or 3 are not that strong. I call those 'baby dragons'.

Just as an FYI, Dragons are levelled. I'm level 35 and blood dragons are cake, but frost dragons still give a hard time.

dragon levels:
level 10 - Dragon
level 20 - blood dragon
level 30 - frost dragon
level 40 - elder dragon
level 50 - ancient dragon

Hey, I've got a couple. (scaled down, I hate the way it stretches horizontally, but they're 1080p)

I'm already level 36 and have barely scraped the surface of this game. Almost no Guild quests done, very little Main Quest, still about half of the major cities unvisited.

Starting to feel really powerful too. Only strong enemies using Magic give me trouble. Other enemies die before they even detect me.

A few notes:

I'm nudging my daughter toward the Dark Brotherhood. Things are in motion, and they are hilariously wicked.

I climbed the 7,000 steps or whatever. Truly gorgeous trip up, this game continues to surprise me in the vistas it pulls of. Skyrim is the first 360 game in several years to surprise me on what it can pull off.

My daughter and I are building a spreadsheet of ingredient effects. I know there are ones out there, but it's fun to experiment and slowly fill it in, and it's a fun project for us. She's methodical and organized, and I get to teach her Excel. Family bonding via Skyrim.

I love that the Thieves Guild markers are on so many buildings. I didn't know what they were until my daughter found the Shadow Marks book and we started identifying them. Protected houses, loot houses, fences and so on. Great details. (I've since snagged my own book.)

Indeed it is:

It is quite a shame that most night skies I see in Skyrim have it raining or snowing or something besides ... well, this.

So, anyone going to post general stats such as people killed? I'm not playing right now as I've been busy tonight, but I was looking and was astounded that I already had killed 530 people.

I feel like I'd want to murder the children less if they weren't such giant assholes 90% of the time. The two annoying brats in Whiterun alone are enough to make me seek out their deaths in whatever gruesome fashion I can find.

Lakitu said:
Yeah, I have only seen the aurora maybe 5 or 6 times in 120 hours of playing.
Click to expand...

The very first night sky I saw in-game was that and it was gorgeous. 100 hours later, this is maybe the third or fourth time I've seen it total and I've installed quite a few mods since to improve the visuals. It still stands out.

I haven't unlocked any shouts yet (besides the first one you get). I feel like I may have to run out and get this one now.

Better question may be how many bunnies slaughtered. Across three characters, I've got around 30.

I may be a terrible person.

I can not believe that in 13 days I have put in 100 hours in Skyrim. That is just.... wow.

and I've only completed the companions quest line. I'm about 1/2 through thieves, just joined dark brotherhood, haven't touched the mage's college, and have only just now received the
Horn
(main story).

I will have no problem putting another 100 hours into the remaining content, and that is before DLC...... WOW!!!!!

Shouts add a really nice dynamic to the game. I advise playing the main quest up until you get to the throat of the world (above hrothgar) and then continue doing whatever you want.

Steel plate. With enchanting and smithing, plus a blacksmith and enchanting potion (which you're guaranteed to run into a few of) you can get steel plate armor up to the 80% mitigation cap - making it just as powerful as Daedric without the stupid CHAOS SPEZ MARINE look.

My God, I've been robbed!
What is Skyrim coming to when people will steal your furniture... your bed!

so I loaded my game, and I was greeted with this in my Solitude home...

This is my bedroom, where is my bed? My safe! (Edit: ah, my safe is still there, nevermind. On a somewhat bright side, all my furniture that was returned seemed to have been restocked. I took all the gold out of my wardrobes and whatnot previously, but they all had the gold in them again.)

Other pics:

They left all my sweetrolls. I don't understand their mindset.

So I left and came back, and my furniture was in place. Probably Sheogorath fucking with my head or something. My house is a disaster area now! Plates, and books all over the place. In some cases my silver platter is skewered by my tables!

You should be able to order your Housecarl to clean this up.

Ebony would look cool if the back of your neck didn't show and the helmet didn't make you look like an alien.

I really don't like the way Daedric looks. Dragonbone is okay, I guess. Steel Plate looks decent. Overall I just prefer using a mishmash of armors. Ebony Mail + Nightingale Helm + Shrouded Gloves + plain Leather Boots of Sneaking that I found like at level 10.

lol.

I placed all my books in a bookshelf in my house.

When I came home after my next adventure, they were all scattered on the floor.. :/

I'm convinced Lydia did it.. :mad:

Noob question, but you can join more than one faction/guild/whatever right?

I always pop here and see I finally got in the "Dark Brotherhood" or "Thieves" (I have no idea what those are just yet, and I'm hoping it's a guild of some sort). But anyways, I just joined The Companions guild and turned into a werewolf...just wondering if I will still be able to join the thieves and whatnot later in the game.

I hope I didn't fuck up by joining a one-and-only guild so you must choose wisely thing

Absolutely. FUS RO DAH is such a great ace in the hole to get the upper hand in battle.

You can join as many guilds as you want.

The only real choice I believe is between Legion and Stormcloaks.

PS3 here too.. My game gets terribly slow after a lot of fast travel, and I've found quitting the game to xmb and reloading fixes it. Solitude is a low fps town in general though.

This has been working for me too, thank god! So far, I've only full on frozen twice in 100 hours. Not too shabby!

Holy shiiiiiiiit at the (Thieves Guild questline spoiler)
Nightingale Armor! So fucking awesome. I feel like Batman/Nightwing right now lol

I'm at about 60 hours in and loving the hell out of this game. GOTY for me and I'm not even close to being done with it yet. No contest.

Guys I need to share. I'm 35 hours in, and still obsessed. Ive never played a game for this long in my life (I really don't like RPGs). This game is astounding, despite the fact that I can't finish 2 quests due to glitches. I hope they fix those broken questlines in the patch.
