Be Excellent To Each Other

Get a follower?

I sell loads of stuff. Before I joined the Companions, I'd store stuff in a chest or whatever in a cleared dungeon. It never went missing, had to do a few trips backwards and forwards after I'd bought my house though.

I might not be getting this for my birthday as I have enough games and have not finished them all yet...

I am all

easy solution - throw them all in a carrier bag & go and trade them in for skee rim

FTFY

Really? For me it's been the other way around. Blood Dragons as standard - fairly easy to despatch, but the one time I encountered a Frost Dragon he was a right old pain in the arse to get rid of.

I encountered my first "open world" dragon the other night. He was a frost dragon. He killed me. My last checkpoint was miles away because I was exploring and hadn't entered any towns or anything. I called it a night.

Still, I'm properly enjoying this. Just taking things slowly - mainly because I'm so busy with work. Doing the odd mission and a bit of exploring when I get an hour or two spare. I have a feeling the combat and the samey dungeons would get tiresome pretty quickly if I played it for long sessions, but it's brilliant for an hour or two at a time.

I got into a fight with a blood dragon and 3 snow bears and first time it didn't end well. Then I hired maricio conjured a flame thing and just fired arrows at the dragon. Seemed to work pretty easily. Haven't found the dragons too taxing yet, but some of the bosses in the dungeons are rather difficult. I've had to leave a couple as I kept dying.

I now has this !

So Trolls can launch you 200ft in the air?

Thought it was a glitch, but it happened twice.

I had a giant do that straight after we teamed up to kill a dragon.

Sorry, I meant Giant not a troll.

Almost finished the College of Winterfell's quest line. It's been quite good so far. I am now sporting exquisite dwarvern boots. Which will soon be enchanted.

I think I've done the thieves questline now since Im now the Guild master.
But with the mages one Im scared to go into labarinthyan (or however you spell it). The dungeons are scary.

Have you done all the jobs to 'restore the guild'?



That's the point when the thieves' guild is 'done'.

Only one town "done" so far. Keep getting the jobs in the town I've already done though annoyingly.

You can just cancel them straightaway with no penalty. Cancel any Riften ones, too.

You're not the Guild Master until they're done. That's why everyone still keeps saying "Sooo. You're Brynjolf's new protégé" and you're like "No, I'm your boss, fuckhead".

I'm not sure if I'll be very good at the Thieve's guid quests, as I'm not sneaky sneak sneak, I'm clanky clank clank. Are they particularly difficult?

Nah. You can clank your way around them pretty easily. They're well worth doing, best quest series in the game in my view.

I'm getting fairly good at picking locks, but haven't done any pick pocketing as yet. I might have a go today.

What chars did you lot create...

Orc.

Dark Elf. A bit disappointed that Bethesda's solution to the lumpy characters in Oblivion was to give us a handful of preset faces, most of which are excruciatingly ugly, and get rid of the RGB sliders for stuff like skin and hair color too.

Dark Elf also, because I wanted to go for magic and stealth. Having since decided that magic is poop, I regret it.

Wood elf. Stealth archery and magic here.

I'm the lizard thing. He can breathe underwater. Hasn't really been as handy as I'd hoped so far.

Someone sent some hired thugs after me, and a dragon appeared at the same time. Which was an interesting fight.

I'm up to level 18 and a half now, with an enchanting skill of 50, and smithing of 43. I've made a full set of dwarvern armour with a health bonus on the armour and magika bonuses on the hat and gauntlets. The boots have a carry more stuff bonus. My orc axe does soul trap, as does my dwarvern sword.

Nord Bird.

I have a Nord Chap... lvl 3 so far...

You should always pick a female!

Unless you prefer looking at the back of men for 100+ hours of gaming.

...hmm that's a point, since playing Dark Souls I now prefer to play this looking at my character rather than 1st person perspective.

Dark Souls.

In Oblivion and Fallout 3 the running animation is so shit that it takes me out of the immersion. I always use first-person.

Yeah totally agree, it's much better in this.

And in Dark Souls.

You fucking woman.

I have a girl wood elf.

Ha! You like looking at girls!
...

Me too. Oh.

I have it in first person, douche Which meant I missed her running round in her underwear for about 3 hours.

I should switch to first person really, there's no advantage seeing enemies attack from the back or sides early as the combat is so wooly.

You are a wood elf girl

If I said no, would you stop following me?

Yes.

*clicks left thumb stick*

Male Nord called Valdarr

Male kahjit with grey fur. He wears superior steel plate with health, magika regen and carrying stuffness built in and carries an elven battle axe of flame y ness. Must sort this to soul trap soon. He likes fish, dislikes goats and would like to meet for friendship and maybe more

I'm a Redguard woman. As I moaned about on Twitter, it was very confusing when I ran across those men very early on who are hunting for a mysterious Redguard woman... I only narrowly avoided panicking and killing them to avoid detection.

Ill just leave this here.

Well I'm done with this. After 100 hours and 8 minutes I've finished the main quest. That's a lot of my life since the 11th of November, right there. Definitely time to stop.

I've clocked 50 so far mainly doing side quests & skill training. Need to get back onto the main quest.

How do you switch from 1st person?

Loving the game so far...

On the 360 it's press the right thumb stick to change view

2nd dragon much tougher.

Wispmothers are twats.

Getting gripped by this now.
