I had the Mace of Molag Bal, and then I found "Dawnbreaker".... It is a sword that I now use exclusively along with a ebony sword (dual wielding). Grinds up undead.Quote:

Oh, I have like 70 or something in one-handed weapons at lvl 33, but it doesn't matter. I have 330 hitpoints (+30 from an amulet) but magic is absolutely RAPING me and I'm fighting Ancient Dragons now whose breathe weapon just completely DESTROYS me. It's damn frustrating. I may have to go back and make myself a really nice shield so I can work on getting blocking up more (currently at 40 something) cause I got bored of sword and board and went back to dual wielding one-handed weapons.Quote:

On a side note, Famitsu gives the game a perfect score. 40/40 They do tend to give out more perfect scores these days but the interesting but is this is the first game created in the Western Hemisphere to get a perfect score.
Sure the game is far from perfect and the combat system still feels off to me but when you look at the scope of the game and all the things at your disposal, I think it is a fitting score.
Yeah it's amazing how organic the game is. If it is true that side quests continue to generate throughout the life of the game...that will be just amazing.
They will, but it will just be things like, "Go to this cave and kill these bandits." or something like that. Really simple stuff, though there are some great quests that can happen if you "accidentally" use your shouts in public places. ;)Quote:

I don't know. I haven't really done anything with speechcraft, so that may be why I haven't had anything with the relationship stuff happen yet. Seems a bit silly to me, really.
Outside of an item boosting your speech, all I have found to improve speechcraft is mercantile stuff. I think I'm about 25.Quote:

In the story, I find it interesting that the Mages Guild is basically wiped out in Cyrodiil, and only Winterhold has mages in a concentrated study. I wonder if any of the DLC expands on the downfall of mages.
Yeah, pretty much the only way to increase speechcraft is via books, "bartering" with merchants, being able to lie/persuade people through dialog options, or going to a trainer (the Bards College in Solitude).Quote:

There seems to be quite a bit of hate toward the mages in Skyrim and it seems like they are almost being blamed for the Oblivion Crisis, even though it was clearly the Mythic Dawn cult who caused all of that. Maybe they are connecting necromancers with the Mythic Dawn or something? I'm not sure, but there is definitely a lot of hate for mages in Skyrim.
Speaking of books, I don't think this was posted yet, but someone took the time to actually make an ebook of all of the books from Skyrim (pretty fuckin' cool):

Yeah that's one thing I need to do soon is head to Solitude.Quote:

And if you should be so inclined to, say, print out a giant version of said map and adorn your wall with it, the cartographers responsible also have you covered (.ZIP link). If it weren't already clear that you've still got plenty left to explore in Skyrim, this map should handily clarify that. Just look at all that tiny writing! Those are all places!

Per that map's location guide, there are 436 different locations to explore.

I installed literally every game I play. Right now I've only got a 120 GB HDD, so I've been having to pick and choose what games I'm going to play most often and leave installed. Thank God I'm getting a 250 GB 360 Slim for Christmas, so I'll finally be able to leave the majority of my actively played games installed.Quote:

Now that I have some free time with having today off of work, I think a day full of Skyrim is in order.
If you can play offline, you might consider not getting the latest patch.

And, yet again, none of that shit happens at all on the PC version. ;)
What's wrong with dragons flying backwards? :D They're just trying to show off. :DQuote:

Sweet. Got back into this game today, and just smote my first dragon. Wasn't as difficult as I thought it would have been.
Did you have help or you were the only one?Quote:

Yeah, it was the first one for the main quest at Whiterun. However, I've since run into two more. I've completely bypassed Iverstead and have headed down to Riften to make some money with the Thieves' Guild. When I first arrived at Riften, a dragon attacked outside the city, and I just a little bit ago left the city, and sure enough, there was another dragon ready to pounce.
I restarted just for the patch and I have seen a ton of weird stuff that did not exist pre patch. I walked into Riverwood unarmed and was attacked by the whole town. Restarted and walked in just fine. Now the guy who is a the mill at Riverwood is gone. Stayed there for a couple days, did the claw quest and still not there. I got up to level 8 finished the greybeards and there was still nobody in any location at any mill.
Think I am going to restart once again and go at it with a difference setup. I have been 2 handed Nord and plan to switch to a Nord one handed with shield and Light Armour. Focus on archery big time.
Yeah, I'm not really welcome in Riverwood anymore. I attacked a couple people who caught me trying to steal from their homes, killed 2 or 3, and got chased out of the village by a bunch of farmers with pitchforks. :whistle: Only thing that saved my ass was going white water rafting down the river all the way to Whiterun.
Yeah. Definitely not updating to the 1.2 patch as it fixes bugs that don't even happen on the PC version most of the time, or are just minor annoyances. Of course, the bugs that happen are things that I don't care about either (magic resistances are for pussies and dragons flying backwards are just fun) so I might just update anyway to get some of the minor annoyances fixed.
