[ALL] Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Maynard]

I stopped some tonight to play some Rayman (which is awesome), yet I can't stop thinking about how much of a step forward this game is for Bethesda. I mean, holy shit. This game is so well realized and the quests are not only numerous but genuinely unique (for the most part)...it's amazing.

Now here's hoping they can use the shit ton of money they make off of this on better (also more) voice actors

yeah i was thinking the same thing. although i like the voice actors. they really did a fantastic job of improving things since oblivion. Plus these quests are really good. the guild quests alone take nearly as long to complete as some other games entire SP mode.

Where'd you get those at? :shifty:

I got Chain Lightning in the Hall of Continance at the College in Winterhold. I didn't look at the other two, but I'll bet they're there.

I also picked up my new Adept Robes Of Destruction: 17% less Destro cost, Magicka Regen 100% faster. Love it!



Also, had another funny random dragon occurrence. While I was 'looting' all the rooms for dragon souls and alchemy items, which BTW you can get a TON of useful crap here, the NPC's in the rooms were tripping. A few times I thought I was caught for stealing because they'd all of the sudden pull out the magicka hands and looked like they were going to kill me. lol Eventually I got out of there and fast traveled to Whiterun, and as soon as I land there I get a free dragon soul! LOL I never even saw a dragon, so I don't know how I got a soul. True story.

ive poured like 16 of the last 24 hours into the game since my late night re-roll into a melee last night, and i realized ive only really checked out one hold and like half of the greymane mountain.

and theres still 8 holds and major towns worth of quest lines left.

just a massive, massive game with interesting shit everywhere. the surprise dragon attacks are awesome too. i never know when its time to run around like a bug dodging a magnifying glass until he lands and then i cut his fucking head off.

Just read an article about some things this person was disappointed with in Skyrim. While I love the game, I did agree with him about one thing, fighting dragons. Any regular dragon really isn't that difficult to kill. I realize I can up the difficultly level but still, any type of dragon should be a really tough battle. I mentioned earlier the toughest fight I had was with a blood dragon and that was awesome because it was so damn hard to beat.

I think what happened was they realized that dragons were going to be a big part of the game so they couldn't make them really hard to kill because it would be really hard to get souls and to unlock shouts. I think what they should have done is created 9 really tough dragons that are in each hold, in addition to all the random dragons. This way you could seek them out and fight them and get some big reward. They could be on the tops of mountains in those regions or something.

i only had 3 hours to play last night...

 

was up near Solitude so I decided to try and free Thorald Gray-Mane being held captive at Northwatch Keep. Guard was a total Imperial dick and since I'm feeling like I want to side with the Stormcloaks eventually, I decided to push my luck. All it took was me looking around to anger the exterior guards. 3 archers lined the walls and a couple magic wielding swordsman were on the ground. I quickly realized these assholes in their fancy pants elven armor were beyond my current skill so I'd have to go beyond all out Destruction attacks. With wise use of Fury and Fear I made all 5 of these assholes basically kill each other while I cackled like a madman and smoked a bowl. The one lone survivor got to feel the wrath of my conjured blade as he begged for mercy from his knees.

I proceed into the Keep, hoping it's not going to get that much more intense, but it did. I snuck in and saw a lone guard standing around. I put a chunk of ice through his head, but didn't realize he was standing by an open corridor and 4 guards came flying around the corner. A quick flurry of Fear spells and a thundering shout before I bolted the fuck outta there. After they returned to their business I decided to creep back into the Keep and give it another go.

Upon return, the same lone guard was where I last saw so since I now knew his buddies were hanging out in the hall, I figured I'd play more mind tricks. Fury was thrown down from the shadows and he unleashed his sword and charged at his friends. I continued to hide at the top of the steps and when the battle would spill out into the base of the staircase I'd throw fury on anyone I could see. Not before long there was 4 more dead guards and I proceeded deeper into the keep.

I stumbled into a 2 level chamber, seeing an Archer up top with a Swordsman on the stair, another wise use of Fury quickly put them to battle. However as I hid outside the room, I became aware of another presence that I didn't see...a Mage Interrogator. He made very quick work of the two guards. Now that it was him and me, I decided to test my magical skills with this powerful foe.

I cast a ball of Magelight so he would come to investigate and put him within my magical range. Cast Fear and quickly realized he is immune to all my Illusion spells and after one blast of Sparks I saw his power was surely well beyond mine.

5 seconds later I was headed to the exit, I'll save you another day Thorald Gray-Mane.

Try the Conjurist, Phinis Gestor at the Winterhold College.




Edit: The Skyrim Bound Bow requires level 50 Conjuration and will not be available to buy until then.
