Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Also, for those doing the Civil War quests

 

That is pretty much exactly how I felt, I was really disappointed when the Jarl returned the axe and wouldn't join with Ulfric. At least he surrendered before I had to kill him, although I'm sure he returns later.

Put some of my Dragon Bones/Scales in the chest that in Gerdur's hut...now they are gone.

The first night I was playing with my buddy and we decided to do a character together (that sounds totally wrong) so we saved that after completing the first quest. The following day I finally start up my own and save like normal, then when I go to load later in the day I notice it's only my save now and like 3 autosaves from mine as well. Nowhere to be found are the one my buddy and I started.

Did you notice the Prisoner auto save that the game makes by itself? Were you saving over that or did you create your own manual save? I think this could explain the problem people have been having. Otherwise for some reason there's a huge bug that you can only have 1 character at a time. Wonder if it's the same for 360?

While I was on a long walk somewhere I randomly found and killed 4 dragons within a 15 minute span. 2 of them were actually at the same time which was a pain in the ass.

Im sure if you create another Playstation account (not psn account) and make and save a new character it would be fine since its separate saves

If I see a dragon, I run. Fuck my level 13 character taking on a dragon 1 on 1.

Well that or just don't save over the Prisoner save, it saves itself but it's not marked as an autosave, it's marked the same as a manual save. I'm thinking maybe the people who lost their saves probably saved over it instead of creating a new save? So when they tried to make a new character it just saved over itself again.

Quit being a bitch. I'm level 12 and have killed like 4 dragons one on one.

[SethMode]

Yeah dude, the Dragons aren't that bad. The Giants are the ones that keep peckerslapping me with relative ease.

Why are you fighting Giants? I walk by Giants all the time and they don't attack me.

LMAO.

Great post over at reddit about giants.

Minor spoilers. Nothing important but I know how VSN is.

 

The first time I encountered one was when you first meet the companions, and they are attacking one, so I jumped in to help.
This kind of set the tone, along with all of the 'Jack and the Beanstalk' propaganda we are fed as children. Giants were dangers to be annihilated at every opportunity. Plus their campsites usually had some sweet loot.
So after taking out about 4 of them, and their mammoth herds, and reaping much reward both in experience and gold, I began to notice that giants didn't actually aggro on me until I either got real close, or attacked them.
Otherwise, they kind of just stood there bellowing, shaking their massive clubs, a warning gesture.
I found this out when I stumbled upon one of their camps low on health, mana, and potions and decided to stealth through to all of the goodies.
As I was stealing all of his Mammoth cheese and a dwarven warhammer, I noticed the eyeball get big, I had been detected. Any other creature would immediately attack me for daring to take their possessions.
Instead the giant just faced me, an inscrutable look on his face. I sheathed my weapons and approached him. As I edged closer he raised his club and bellowed, yet did not attack.
The realization hit me like a hammer blow to the chest.
These weren't the angry aggressive monsters of story, they were herders protecting their flock.
Then I remember a few kills back, when I had managed to down a giant before finishing off his mammoth herd. After he dropped, the mammoths stopped attacking me. They all gathered over around the fallen body of their herder. Ignoring me, right in charging distance and shooting them with freezing arrows, they all lifted their trunks and trumpeted. It was so... mournful... so pain-filled...
At the time, my callous gamer heart ignored their lament and I actually thought 'bonus, now I don't have to keep dodging them'.
I killed them, all of them.
I chopped off their snouts, the instrument through which they voiced their pain. I harvested their tusks to give to some woman so she could prove herself to the Khajiit.
I mutilated the giant's body for potion ingredients and a pittance in gold.
I know now that it was I who was the monster, not them.
This is why I no longer hunt giants...

Reddit is where Im finding all the funny ass pics and vids I've posted. Good shit

Well the first one was to see how I could do (two hits on him, and then I got thrown in the air insta-killed like in that video ATB posted). The second one was after a few more level bonuses when I wanted to see if I could do any better (spoiler: I didn't).

My point though is, the Dragons certainly look scary, but I haven't had too hard of a time with them yet (the 2v1 instance was pretty tough), where as the Giants seem pretty much invincible.
