68 hour save file, level 40, still have not seen a wispmother.

Also just realised there are no dreughs in this game, land or sea.

What is the importance of a wispmother? Killed one at level 13 yesterday. Can tell ya where she is. I ran into her on my first character and got owned. Kinda guessed where she was on my new one and owned her. :D

It's one of my most used abilities/magic in the entire game. I have it on 90% of the time in a dungeon or at night. I really don't know how people can navigate around without it unless they boost brightness up to insane levels in the options menu.

Haha... there are torches and lighting spells in the game.

You know what would make the Dungeons a lot cooler and more atmospheric...complete darkness, which is how they should be anyways.

It would certainly make using a torch more useful and the Kahjits, seeing in the dark ability, have a reason for being there.

Hopefully some mods come out next year that will create more realistic lighting conditions for Dungeons and outside as well.

It would have also been cool if they made dungeons so that you could light torches placed on the wall...so that you could tell where you've been.

Honestly, the dark dungeons is what i really hated in Oblivion, im glad they changed it. I hated having to walk around with a torch al the time
 
is the final Dark Brotherhood quest broken? Because
The Night Mother keeps asking me to travel to the Understone keep and talk with the scheming bro

of course you don't know what I should be expecting for the final quest and you guys can't come with me, that's why you guys chose me as a leader when I barely joined like a week ago ;o

AMAZING. There has to be more of those.

You think you're immersed in Skyrim?

I would like to reiterate how badass conjuring is at a high level. Summoning two dremora lords and just following them with fireball completely wrecks shit.
 
What's the deal with those Forsworns? Are they just bandits with a different skin or am I killing native Americans that just want to be left alone?

Thanks.

Natives of the Reach (mostly Bretons) that don't like the Nords ruling the area. They took control of Markarth shortly after the Great War, and were actually preparing to submit a bid for sovereignty to the Empire when Ulfric Stormcloak came in and conquered the city for Skyrim again. The disgruntled natives who couldn't deal with that fled into the hills and became the Forsworn, killing everything they can find.
 
So I finally got around to joining Hogwar...er...College of Windhelm. I like the atmosphere and looting all of my classmate's dorms. Free soul gems for everyone! Or just me.

No, just dozens and dozens of video's of Lydia being a dumb bitch. :lol

I have to wonder if she truly is the stupidest out of all the followers.
They all tend to get in the way of your arrows and such, but Lydia most of all.
I'm in sneak mode, quite a distance from the enemy, and I ready an arrow. Like an idiot, Lydia wants a better view, so she steps in front of me just as I loose my arrow. Dead.

You lost her too? I was doing one of the later Mage Guild quests where you have to find the three books, and there came a point where she just wasn't following me anymore... I checked back home (as she's also my wife) and no go, so now I have f'ing Lydia following me, who I'm going to fus ro dah off the top of the Throat of the World the next time I get a chance... I guess I should go back to the dungeon where I last saw her.

Was there a scene, or event when you lost her? If so, I'd check where it took place.
That's what happened to me. She's still where the scene took place too, and she won't go back to Jorrvaskr. The hell, Aela? I guess she likes chilling there. I'll make her a follower eventually, then dismiss her in Whiterun, and see if she goes back to Jorrvaskr.

Yeah, I love watching them fuck shit up. :D
Even better, get the Daedric artifact
Sanguine Rose
from the quest
A Night to Remember
and have 3 Dremora running around!
 
Just saw an Imperial Guard escorting a Stormcloak prisoner a bit outside Winter Hold. Had to wonder what he was doing there, since that hold supports Ulfric at the start of the game...

True enough, the moment the guards noticed him they took him on and killed him.

I'm slitting that prisoner's throat first chance I get.

I really wish this game would have come out in August...it probably would have saved me a lot of money from buying every other big game released this Fall.

Im usually done with games after a week or so, but Skyrim is sticking with me. I have about 130 hours according to steam...Ive never played a game this much. I cant even think about other games.
 
Giant magical spiders?

Yes, please!

Wait, there are other games?
 
Is anyone else not using magic at all in their playthorugh? I also don't use shields, swords, or any melee weapons really, either. Wondering am I missing out. Don't really wanna change now.

Playing a Khajit pure stealth/archer build.
 
They're dead. The prisoner and the guards. It took a bit of retrying, but I stabbed the prisoner to death in the bushes. Then I dragged his corpse into the middle of the street, so the guards would stop and investigate. I stabbed the first one in the back and looted her armor.

Then, as I'm stalking the second one while he's making his tour through Winter Hold, a bandit randomly apears out of nowhere and starts attacking me. The guard actually kills it for me, so I'm tempted to spare her life... But no dice.

When she notices the corpse of her colleague lying in the street, stripped bare on top of the corpse of a dead Stormcloak soldier, I plunge my two daggers into her back and leave her body for the wolves.

Then I sheathe my weapons and walk into the nearest inn like nothing ever happened.

I'm also a pure stealth/archer Khajit. I do like I'm missing out on some awesome magic stuff but yeah, I like these kind of characters too much.

All Dragon Priest masks obtained.

Main quest completed and my final side quests expunged, it was a good run; I'll be back for DLC.

e: Playing on Master since level 31. Only skill to reach 100 was one handed. Several others in the 90 range.

You have done a whole lot more than me, at more hours while being only a few levels above my 39 level.

I don't even know what a wispmother is.

I think it's nuts that I still haven't seen a single lesser daedra in the game.

Wait...are there creepers (scamps) in this game?


EDIT: what?! No scamps, clannfears, daedroths, etc?

I sacrificed my companions to a daedric god, good times.

I chose that bald bard as my sacrifice. The second I realized I was going to have to kill one of my followers I was like "oh, that fucking dork is going to die".
 
Question -
I was in a fight with a necromage, who hit me constantly with this slowing ice blast thing. 25 min after killing him, I still can't run or move fast at all, and I have an ice shard stuck in my side. I'm assuming this is a bug? Any way to remove this effect?

Yeah, I thought that was SO retarded. The Thieves Guild was a massive letdown: it was way too short and they trusted you with way too much way too soon. I'd done about 4 quests before they started telling me the entire Guild's secrets, and about 6 quests in I was made Guild Master.. I mean what the fuck?

Have never had that happen, but you could try the following...

- Change clothes / armor
- Go to sleep on a bed (to activate a different animation set and go to 'Well Rested')
- Go to any of the shrines on any city and cure yourself
- Try swimming or riding a horse (to activate a different animation set)
- Save, quit and load
- Role-play a 90 year old character who can't walk as fast.
- Surely you are not encumbered, right? :p

Wonder what happens when you become encumbered. Maybe you don't move at all? :p
 
Met some Justicar on my way to Markath.

They had an execution order for me! Those bastards, just because I told one of them earlier, that I could believe in anything I want. Who would've thought they'd take the whole "let's ban talos" thing so seriously?

Guys I'm in Makrath and there are quests I'm unsure if I should do. There is one where I must find evidence that the bard worships Talos, and another where I'm asked to steal a golden statue from the priestesses. The later one I "failed" and the woman gave me a quest to make up for having breaking in (find their next buddah or whatever), which I guess I'll do later. The other one I'm wondering if I can do something like warn the bard that they are after him?

Also I'm now asked to do a quest to some evil demon. Fuck him I don't want to help him!

edit: this is the 4th time today the game fucking freezes on me!

edi2: fuck this, always freezing here and there.
