It doesn't affect me at all. I usually make different characters, each with their own set of skills and quest lines. For instance, my orc warrior won't ever touch any of the magic or rogue skill trees.

But that's boring...
I will most likely play through the game as BM, then I will make Archer/Stealth character.

I don't mind at all, I have no intention of ever wearing heavy armour so maxing it out would be pointless. As long as I can max out five or so I'll be happy.

Yeah that's the only thing I'm worried about. I'm currently playing as a mage and haven't really leveled any of my trees up because I don't want to make a bad decision to start out, especially if I can only max out a few trees.

^^ I wish my laptop didn't suck. The game goes super jank whenever I'm near any fire or water

I seriously doubt that. There's not even a real hard level cap in the game, so it'd be pretty hard to raise it. I don't see 'em allowing us to raise your skills further than 100, either.
Man. I spent some time wandering just to wander, and in such adventures I started a quest called Discerning the Transmundane. Holy fuck this quest turned out to be amazing; I just lost like three hours. So fucking good.
On a completely unrelated note, Paralyze is still hilarious. It has become a mini-game unto itself, where I try to get people to stick in absurd poses or roll away so that my Dremora Lords have to chase after them.

Thats how the game should be. Success.

I was walking down High Hrothgar after the "Season Unending"-quest with (MQ)
in tow when all of a sudden an Elder Dragon appeared and started raining fire on us.
We proceeded to slaughter that bitch. Afterwards

the Jarls and Elenwen just stood there spouting the same random villager-dialogue after seeing a dragon
Rikke and Tullius got stuck trying to climb a step.
I don't think so. If you max out all your skills to 100 you'll be at level 81 so I don't see where you'd go from there. I'm at 64 now and I really don't even see how I'm going to increase much more. Most of the skills I use are at 100 or very close to it. I'd basically have to grind out stuff like 2H and shields to keep leveling
Wait what? I thought you stopped levelling at 50.

You can keep going. It just slows down at 50
It might be my mindset, but im enjoying this game a hell lot more than i did with Oblivion. When i finished Oblivions main story line i did not feel compelled to look back and do more. But now i finished the main story and i feel like i have seen about 5% of the game.
Still need to visit all the holds etc!
Also the game is crazy good looking on Xbox, pretty insane that a 2006 machine is pulling this.

But there's a perk limit, right?
Well, 81 is the natural limit since everything will be maxed at that point. 80 perks total.
Iron daggers for all!
Would I be correct in assuming the bounties that inn keepers offer you are randomly generated and thus an infinite source of quests? Is there any pay-off besides the bounty reward coin?
What can I say? I live to give.

I've been doing so much I leveled pretty fast to 25. Got a mod that exponentially increased the skill xp algorithm that significantly slowed it down. Have been level 32 for the last ~6 hours and only need one more skill level to bump it up to 33

this game is so addictive
65 hours into it, barely touched the main story, map is littered by uncovered locations found in books. It can really be overwhelming at times
and I love how much creativity you can put in fights. I was in a bandit hideout, level 6, i went for warrior build.
Sneaky killed everyone minus the last boss, an Orc with a two handed axe. who was obviously much more powerful than me, so i decided to use the Staff of Dead Zombies. The bizarre fight had me running around a kitchen table reanimating a bandit a LOT of times until the Orc was dead. Took ten minutes, lol

Okay, I'm definitely abusing fast travel right now. Want to find some more words of power and dragon scales/bones before advancing in the main quest any further. Thought I'd have enough dragon scales saved up, but you need a lot for Dragon armor, apparently.
Yeah when you max out 100 on all stats. I think think you should plan on allotting 80 points though. Something like 65 perk points is what I would consider reasonable. You might be able to push up to 68-70 if you end up grinding out skills you don't use at the end of the road.
I'm saving my perk points now to see where I'm at once I finish maxing out some of my primary skills (seriously how have I not 100'd destruction and restoration yet!?)
Souls might be finite but dragons are unlimited afaik. Unless you plan on making 4-5 sets you should have enough
How have you played so much already? Jesus christ.

Oh my god... Xbox720 please come to me in 2012.
Pretty sure that's a water texture mod for PC. If Xbox720 existed and Skyrim was released for it, it still wouldn't look that good.

I know, that's not my problem. I just sold a lot of scales already, so now I need to hunt some dragons to find more. :lol

bloody hell, getting rid of Vampirism was a PAIN IN THE ASS
random cool story bro story: first Thieves' Guild' mission:
thanks, dragon. I'll spare your life for now
random cool story bro story: first Thieves' Guild' mission:
Loud and Clear. I sneaked my way inside Goldenglow estate, passed through several mercenaries and avoided pickpocketing the elf because it woulda been impossible. Unlocked the safe and got out to burn the beehives but there's a goddamn merc with a torch (I went there nighttime) just in front of the entrance who doesn't move at all, so I decide to wait on the adjacent water. i wait for several hours; tired of waiting, I prepped my bow and give up about the non-kill requisite...then a dragon approaches the mansion, grilling all the outside mercs including my man
thanks, dragon. I'll spare your life for now
Just keep fast traveling to winterhold :lol The encounter rate there seems way higher than any other area
Haha I had a time when I had like 3 downed dragons in the college courtyard and every time I'd fast travel there they'd all be flopping around. At least they made it so you could walk through the skeletons.
I've killed 2 dragons with no souls now :/
Had my first dragon die and not give up a soul today. Booooo. At least I was able to loot it. When I went back it was just gone, no corpse or bones.
The whole dragon bones thing in general seems pretty buggy. In running across some of the places I've killed dragons, the bones have been in all kinds of fucked up positions, or flopping around off some distance from where they originally laid. Neat idea but turned out a little flaky.

Hmm, thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'm making errand runs to word walls now, killing dragons and learning new shouts in the process.

my house in Whiterun is a piece of arse. Wish I had never bought it
None of the houses I've gotten have been that great. Some don't have enchantment tables, others have it but don't have storage boxes close to it or the alchemy station. No smithing upgrades for any of the houses. Not enough mannequins! No houses that are extremely close to fast travel (I think whiterun is the closest; solitude is ok if you fast travel to blue palace and do the

It looks a lot better in screenshots than it does in motion.
You need to visit the person who sold you the house, you can purchase decorations for your house to upgrade it to make it purrrty
Is there also someone I can talk to about removing all the damn hay and spider webs?

I just filled out the Heavy Armor side of the perk tree.

I was fighting an undead mage of some sorts at the bottom of an island near that town at the base of throat of the world. I was attacking him and my weapon just disappeared! I spent like ten minutes wandering around the room thinking he knocked it out of my hand or something before I gave up. What the hell happened?
It's interesting that this is the first Bethesda game I've played without restarting my game some time in. In Oblivion I found lockpicking too hard and I kept drowning, so I restarted with an Argonian with the tower key sign (which ended up being a poor sign). In Fallout 3 I restarted after the "Trouble on the Homefront" quest because it was just so depressing. And I've restarted morrowind several times trying to get into it.
