41. i'd kick all of your guys' asses. :D

the best part about it though, is that you'd never see me coming, since i've maxed out my sneak attack

Yeah I had a big gap since I played. Wanted to wait for patch 4 to fix what patch 3 broke.

I'm doing some business in Winterhold, and it's the middle of the night so everyone is sleeping. So I woke up this chick I had to talk to, and as I was talking to her, someone else walks into the room and goes to sleep on the bed :D

Lvl 43, you can try a sneak attack but with my Legendary Glass Armor and light armor/one hand at 100, you would not make a dent in my guy. :P Using my Legendary Glass sword on the other hand, well I would see a beheading in your future.

Spoiler: show
Then I would drink your blood as I am a Cannibal and carry the Ring of Namira and even get an increase in stamina and HP to boot.

There's a mod that's trying to do just that. It's in VERY early alpha stages, but, if it gets anywhere close to what it did in Oblivion, it'll be pretty damn interesting.

I get too easily distracted to level up past 35. I feel like doing something else and maximizing my efforts so I end up starting over (this will be the 4th time I've started over with my unarmed Nord Badass).

Sometimes I wish I played this game on a PC. I have a house in Windhelm with a serial killer living in the back room because Bethesda can't take the time to make sure that quests are bug free. The game just skipped over a step in the quest line making it impossible to deal with this person. I am going to move my wife there and see what happens next. ;) As much as I love the game, the amount of bugs and freezes make me want punch something.

And, yet, me, on the PC, hasn't had any of those issues since switching to a mod manager program. I was having crashing issues to begin with, but since installing all of my mods via the manager program, I've had zero issues with the game and it looks better than ever with the mods that I'd added.

In my younger days I would be right there with you. I just do not play games on the PC anymore. I spend enough time on the PC as it is and when it comes to games I like kicking back in the recliner and playing on the big screen. I just have to live with the issues and it could always be worse, I could be playing it on my PS3. :D

Well, I do usually play kicked back on a big screen. ;)

Yeah, I've become the same way. About the only games I play anymore on PC are the ones that are available only on PC. If it's available on 360, that's what I get it for. Like you, when I'm feeling like gaming, I want to relax in the recliner, kick up my feet, and enjoy the game on the big screen. While my laptop has a pretty large screen, it's just never really been my preferred device for gaming.

100% agree. Just not as comfortable, so that's why I'm not a PC gamer. I sit at a computer 40 hours a week as it is.

Anyone still playing? I restarted and created a new bad boy.

Bjorn the Borg lvl 50

Full Dragon Armor (light) Armor rating 823 plus enchantments on each
Deadric Sword (Legendary) 91 damage + 52 plus enchantment on this my Deadric bow and Dagger (all Legendary)

This is my second character over lvl 45. I am glad there is not way to tell how much time you play this game on the 360.

I do occasionally. I'm really bored of it though. It's still HORRIBLY uninteresting story-wise, which just kills it for me.

I am not much of a story line guy to begin with. The Metal Gear games ruined me on gaming and stories, though I found Red Dead Redemption to be okay, up to the last part of Mexico where it got a bit odd.

I just can't expect something too compelling from a game that let's me join two Colleges, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, The Champions and The Blades, not to mention running though the civil war story line and dragon story line; all at the same time.

Yeah, but nothing really happens with it that's all that interesting. It's really just more silly stuff that is half-baked to begin with. I mean, sure, Alduin is bad ass and everything, but, it's really silly that he just so happens to be sent forward in time to the time in which the Dragonborn is reborn into the world to stop him. It's just so 5th grade writing.

Funny (well not for me) little story about how developers can make the game a bit too real.

Spoiler: show
I spent an hour trying to figure out how to buy the house in Riften. I have spent a ton of time helping the people in the area, did all the requests from the Jarl and Steward, still no mention of the house. So I jump online to see who I need to talk to get my house, become a thane, get me a house carl and all the wonderful glory that goes with it. Come to find out one NPC is required to start a chain of events to get all this fun stuff. Problem is, and I recall this happening early in the game on my first visit to Riften. A dragon attacks me just outside Riften in the Fishery. It is early and it was an elder dragon so it took some time to finish him. During this time a few guards and one lady die in the attack. That lady happens to be the one who sets the chain of events.

I have seen a few NPC's die in dragon attacks but why would you have one that is so important to the storyline die?

While I have no issue with the story, being a video game and all... There are a few quests that you just have to imagine the writers were on shrooms. Just so far out there you could not help but laugh.

Examples - no spoilers, if you have been on these quests you will understand.

Most of the Dark Brotherhood Storyline
Wabbajack - we get it, someone is really into Lewis Carrol.
A dog you find outside of Falkreath
