[ALL] Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Irish]

It is because I am on PS3. I started with framerate issues around level 12 randomly. And now I am lucky to make it thru a chaotic battle(Level 29). I have had it freeze twice when I was absorbing dragon souls.

 

[Maynard]

yeah that sucks. 360 version is solid. i never see hiccups and only had 2 freezes

Not that I admit to doing this at all, but according to my sources, whoever they might be, the Razor1911 torrent you can find just about anywhere you can search torrents, was released approxiamately 2 hours after the game came out and works flawlessly, even with the xbox 360 controller which is actually vastly preferential to keyboard and mouse because the game is a console game at heart that also happened to be ported to PC.

(and people wonder why im a PC gamer)

I love Unrelenting Force. If I'm fighting 2 or more semi-difficult enemies I make them follow to me a higher area if I can, work them towards the edge and then send them flying. If I'm not in a high area I do it anyway and beat the hell out of them while they're on the ground.

I attempted this technique against a Dwarven Centurion...got my face smashed in.

What level do you have to be at for the higher level spells? I'm at level 23, and a 46 Destruction, and I'm getting tired of Fire Hose and Fireball.

I just iron daggered my way to smithing level 60, so I can finally improve the sword I shouldn't have enchanted.

im up to level 74 destruction. i think its more about the skills level then your player level. At level 40 destruction i got some kick ass adept level spells. Chain Lighting, Ice Storm and Fire Ball. those are nice but if you have a follower you may end up killing them unintentionally

wall of flame, shock and winter are tits. i got those at level 70. you spray fire and it will light up the ground where ever you sprayed...bad guys take a shitload of damage. it uses alot of magika, but i have some items i wear to counter that

plus i used alot of perks in the destruction tree. The highest perk in the shock branch allows you to desinegrate bad guys when their health gets low. That comes in handy when fighting some higher level bad guys.

I conjure my flame atrearch and have my follower use his bow while i blast them with duel walls of shock....oh mama

i used to mix 2 destruction spells. Like flame and spark and shoot them together like we all saw in the pre release videos. recently i started using the same spell in each hand. Flame and Flame for example.....its alot more powerful that way.

Anyone playing as a mage should make the mage college quest their top priority. The rewards are well worth it

I went the dual wield route. I have two legendary glass maces that do 56 damage each. one absorbs 20 stamina with each hit the other absorbs 16 health.

By absorb, do you gain that stamina/health each time you hit? Does your health bar go up??

Every time i strike someone I fill my bars back up. it's just like using the healing and stamina potions.

I was wondering why the game was sooo hard. I was playing on Master this entire time. Wow I feel like an idiot.

 

[Bear Pand]

I been playing on Master since the start, love it.

Level 19 still no dragons, but when roaming around found some farmers who were mad one burnt down their farm place.

I was looking through the speech tree and saw that you can invest in different stores to increase their inventory and money on hand. If you use the speech trick to get up to 100 you can invest in the Riverwood merchant and he'll have 12000 cash.

 

[Nucking Futs]

Trying to get the house in Riften, supposedly you're suppose to do a few missions for the Jarl there and do some "nice" things for the citizens of Riften before it lets you purchase it.

I'm stuck on

 

Where Im helping the Meat Trader Lady find Ice Wraith Teeth. She recommends me to go to Ancient Accents but warns me there are reports of a Dragon living there.

Get there and sure enough a "Ancient Dragon" is resting there on a wall. I've killed about 20 dragons so far and this bish at this location is brutal. He blows frost and 5 seconds of his frost kills me so fast. My fire spells take HP away from him but very little.

I'm now having to wait til either I enchant some armor with some good Frost Resistance or find some. I had some that had 40% Frost Resistance but of course I sold them. FML!

not worth the perks IMO. if you need a merchant to have more money... sleep 24 hours, get a bonus to your exp, and his stuff will be replenished. iron dagger trick demonstrates that as stock replenishes literally during imaginary travel time on fast travel.

anyway, i got sick of my pure melee, and since i have a feel for the game and its mechanics now, im playing a thief with conj. on Master. As if I wasnt already pretty addicted to the game, it's a totally different experience. im prioritizing the thief guild quests, and robbing people blind, doing it "honestly" without any pot-over-the-head tricks to rob them in front if their face.

So not only is Skyrim the game of the year as a melee/stormcloak, but, my stealther/imperial is seeing it from a whole different spectrum. this is arguably the best game of the last several years, not just this one.

 

[Maynard]

the perk for being able to unload any loot at any trader is well worth it...so is being able to unload stolen items.

i am working my way up to the top perk in speech too. Im not using the cheat though. i used it to gain 7 levels in speech....too cheesey imo

I'm turning into a vampire!

:rage:

I was running through a dungeon and saw some people locked in cages so I lockpicked it and let them out, once I did I tried talking to them and it said 'vampire' and I thought I was fucked. Luckily they just said "out of the way, meat" and ran past me.
