what the fuck.
do they not put sleeves inside the cases anymore? lol i opened the game out of the shrink wrap and the sleeve was just wrapped around it.
I know that feel.
Mine on 360 was the exact same, confused the hell outta me.

I'm not crazy promise.
The only reason I posted it was because I researched the quest on the two wikis and then found this noted on the bug list. The door to get out of the house is locked and requires a key, and this only occurs after you talk to

I was just trying to help other people, but it seems that this is an uncommon issue rather than a common one.
Shit, might have to try that out just to rule it out if nothing else. Thanks for the heads up!
Probably won't be in my top 5. Not that it's a bad game content wise, but how they pushed this game out in the pathetic state it's in with crashes/bugs takes it off my list. I should have known better since I knew Bethesda's track record. But I thought there would be no way this game would be in the shape it is for a game released in 2011, especially their flagship, and not to mention how obvious it was that it's a console port. The fatal bugs/glitches in this game are killer.

Skyrim has made me realize that TES series has some of the best lore and world building of any game ever.
I think only The Legacy of Kain series beats it out.

Yes it's GTA with dragons. You ride around on a stolen horse, kill elven hookers, sell skooma (fantasy version of drugs yo) and kill skooma dealers because hey scarface was pretty cool, go to the gym to just improve your character cosmetically, and eventually you get a jetpack.
Okay, I forced myself past this glitch by waiting 1 hour after it happened. It fixed itself for a second then after a quest conversation started acting funny again. I waited one more time for an hour and everything was working.
Hah, my brother said this very thing not two days ago. I don't quite agree with it, but I do really love the LoK lore. It was so rewarding to play the later games because they played on the world from the original Legacy of Kain so well.
But yeah, TES lore is awesome and one of the primary reasons I love exploring in these games. It makes the places you discover feel genuine.
Paying sticker price is for suckers.
Improve your Speechcraft if you want better prices.
Some hired bandits came up to me and roughed me up pretty good, when I killed them I found a contract by someone named Rjelo (spelling?) who says I stole from them. Anyone remember who this is? I've been careful about my stealing to do it only when I'm completely hidden and no one has ever made a scene when I stole something from them.

It's not actually possible to make a game this big without bugs and glitches happening. I honestly don't think there's a developer at all that could make this game without a lot of things not working.

Mine (360) was also like that but I figured it was because it included the full map (outside the case in the back) and a separate instruction booklet (in French, being in Canada and all).
I don't use them.
Definitely time to bump it up to Master. Between Breton 25% magic resist, alteration 30% magic resist and changing to light armor, nothing really hurts me anymore. I haven't even used the Dragon Skin greater power. Kind of wish I was playing on Master from the start, but playing unarmored was enough of a hobbling to make things tough through the main quest.
Found the "super hard"
some of you talked about. Between Impact and all my magic resistance, it was a joke of a fight. I show a lot of shouts near the end of the video, if you don't want to see them. Was scrolling through to see if I needed to actually spend a dragon soul.

I'm playing a Khajhit Thief type on Adept and have been having a fun, yet challenging time.
I wanted to use the dog, but no companion is good at stealth.
Me. Why would I when I can conjure two Dremora Lords?

I think the difference is encumbrance and noise. Light armor of course is lighter and makes less noise when sneaking.

I don't have companions. I have pack mules that sometimes shoot lightning.
Light Armor is lighter and quieter but with less defense overall. There's perks to offset basically any of their differences so it comes down to Light Armor eventually can allow you to Stamina Regen faster and dodge hits sometimes while Heavy Armor reflects damage.
Doesn't really matter for mages. Use what you think looks cooler. It's more about what enchants you put on your armor than what type you're wearing.

Why the fuck don't all my armor show up for sale at the blacksmith?? I can only sell him a few of what I have, the rest doesn't show up in the list.

Is he supposed to be hard? I died the first time fighting him, but then I downed a couple Resist Fire potions and he wasn't able to damage me and I just bowed him to death.
You don't have the option to sell stolen goods to normal merchants. Are they stolen?

I try not to. I will usually do things solo, and if I find a dungeon particularly difficult, I will run to Whiterun and grab Lydia. Then, once I'm done, back she goes to drink mead all day at my home in Whiterun.
I'm fairly certain most inns have a mercenary for hire. Other than that, I have found three or four from doing odd quests. I can link or PM you more details about them if you want.
All that fucking thing does is bark. For no reason. I wanted to strangle it, but then I remembered Michael Vick.

Why so butthurt? I was honest and said I traditionally was never interested in these types of games, but thinking of picking this up cause of all the attention its getting. And yes, people who memorize every facet and lore of these games creep me out. You dont need to be so fucking offended and angry.

Because he doesn't want it.
Dodging just makes it more likely to hit someone else and incur a bounty. Just stand your ground and use both hands and you'll win all of them handily.

I stopped using them because they seemed like cheap damage sponge mules.
So I bought this game a few days ago and I've put in 5 or so hours so far. I'm really liking it but the PS3 version seems to be having some visual issues like stuttering and lots of pop up. I'm also having an odd audio glitch like a quiet static noise in the background but it doesn't happen when I play other PS3 games. Are these common issues and is there gonna be a patch?
Other than that its pretty fun so far. The world is huge and kinda overwhelming. Are there any good tips for combat? I think that's the least interesting part of the game for me so far.

I knew this super defensive, butthurt shitpost was coming in response to the totally called for inevitible backlash. I knew it. I almost was going to predict it in a post, but I figured it would cause you to not post it.

So some hired thugs killed me, is it because I keep stealing stuff? I didn't get caught...
They take fucking forever to down on Master :/
Rune magic is a cool idea, but it's nearly pointless in how the AI handles things. It's no more stealthy than throwing a fireball at a dude, which makes no sense. I guess its only use is laying down a rune before a fight, regaining your magicka, and then starting the fight. I guess I was expecting more.
Supposedly he's a really high level enemy, and some folks here mentioned getting destroyed by him. I guess with him throwing nothing but fireballs, all that matters is your magic/fire resist.
I don't. They just get in the way, get killed, or get into a fight when I'm trying to be stealthy. They're apparently great pack mules though. Maybe I'll use one if I play again as more of a fighter type.
Runes probably benefit the most from the Illusion perk of silent casting.
I'm not sure of all the vendors that are considered fences for illegal goods. I know there's at least one such fence within the Thieves' guild.

Is there unbreakable lockpick in Skyrim like Oblivion? Never liked lockpicking.

Yes and no. The same one, in fact. But you don't get to keep it.
You have to take the lockpicking talents up to get "lockpicks never break." However, my opinion is strongly recommending you put 0 points into lockpicking. Lockpicking in this game is mostly just trial and error and if you buy all of the Theives Guild fences's lockpicks every time you go to her it's not really a big deal, even on Expert locks.
I know this is very hyperbolic considering Skyrim has been out for barely a week, but its quickly become my favorite game of this generation, with Red Dead Redemption being the former owner of that crown. Sure there's plenty of broken stuff, but man...when all the pieces come together, there's no other game like this out there.
Granted I do have a slight bias towards the game since I eat up anything fantasy related like pretzels, and a good way to make me love your game is to give it an amazing soundtrack (which Skyrim obviously has). Plus the MMO player in me adores the open-world, "craft your own story" approach to game design. But that said, I haven't touched any other game since Skyrim's release, and have no urge to either. The constant excitement over exploring the world and slaying dragons appeals to the 10-year old in me in such a huge way.
And I'm only 34 hours in.
