So, what's your favourite race and what are you playing as in Skyrim?
Is it different to your Oblivion character, or the same?
Why?!

At the moment, I am playing as a High Elf. Simply because I love using the magic in this game.
And High Elves had an awesome advantage. ^__^

Also, This is a general discussion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I'm a level 38 Nord, using Dragonplate armor and a Daedric Sword and Shield, my swords name is Way to the Dawn.

Im playing as a nord cause i wanted to be a human.

First run through the game I picked a dunmer (darkelf), mainly because on oblivion I remember them to be good at archery, magic and melee. I always loved magic but also loved using a sword and shield, that's the main reason I picked the dunmer because I like using all 3 styles.
Second runthrough I chose a nord, just so I can make a pure warrior spec character.

I've only done one run through so far, its a all round Nord. Like it a lot, not sure which one to pick for my next p;ay through.

I probably would of only generally done one gamethrough but my first one had a gamebreaking glitch and I couldn't go back to an older save, so I made a new game.

That feel when you rename your Daedric Sword Way to the Dawn and then an hour later you get a Daedric Artifact named Dawnbreaker.  ;D

I don't has Skyrim, but in Most TES games, I usually have two characters.

A Breton Mage and a Khajiit Thief.

Khajiit chix Thief.
For all the furries. XD

Nord Spellsword.

Why would you play a game based in the land of the Nords and not be a Nord?

NORDS FTW!

People used the same logic for Oblivion.  Everyone was an Imperial.

I bet if the next game takes place in Black Marsh or the Khajiit Homeland (That's impossible to spell or pronounce :P), people will still hardly play as Argonians and Khajiit :P

I was a Nord in Cyrodiil, because fuq da poliec.

I was a Breton in all the games, because fuq da blaed and marskman skeels.

Elsweyr..?
I never played as an imperial in oblivion.. and i've played through many times haha. Though in morrowind I did play as a dark elf (didn't know it was their province haha, I was pretty young and wasn't into games (like to the extent where I remember everything)>

Anyway, my point is, Breton's are awesome <3

To be honest.. I never liked the breton...

They are like the perfect Mage Class.  The high-elfs are tough but their weakness to magic is a major downfall.

True, but in Elder Scrolls you can be an orc and still be good at magic, it's not really that much of a difference (yeah there is early game, but late game not so much).
My view is, why be a Breton which is practically a human in a world revolved around fantasy where you can be all these other races. The whole point of the game is to live another life in a different world, so why would I be a human when I can be an elf or an orc.

Well if I was a Kahjit I wouldn't want to stop fighting and extend my leg and start licking it. And I hate lizards.

Also, dual Wielding two Daedric swords that do 75 damage with fully upgraded Daedric armor. Is this good or should I stop?

Haha pre sure if you have daedric, you're OP... :P Game got a bit boring once I got full daedric.. considering making another character..

i still have to get onto platinuming this game. also, dark elf spellsword secondly excelling in smithing and archery...

want to make another character using illusion though.... its so OP its not even funny

This is why I always choose to be Elven. This is fantasy! ^-^

MAYBE I will try Nord in my next save just because their Skyrim folk :3 but I find being human boring. And I wanna be an awesome mage!
I guess I could live just being a physical warrior charrie TwT

I know, I'm saying that Bretons are usually my main character, since it provides a bit of a challenge considering how hard it is to be a mage early in the game.

But it's not the only character I use, I always have my Khajiit Thief and sometimes my Nord Claymore user.  And if I'm really bored, an Orc Axe user.  It's just my first character is usually a Breton :P

Khajiit are awesome! They can see in the dark! I sometimes use Night Eye in the day to define darker landscapes like underwater or indoors too.
I drew a Khajiit Dragon the other day. maybe ill post it later

Yeah I'm OP. I have another Nord file but I'm so obsessed with my first one.

I want to make a new mage character soon, my current and only was a all round Nord. May go for Breton or some elf.

Do eet, the Magicka boost really helps you out in early/midgame, and you don't need to worry about the High Elf's severe weaknesses.

I was thinking about Falmer *derp hurp*

Wat?

Have you played the story yet? They are the elves from the Shivering Isles in Oblivion.

They are also in Skyrim. How can you not know who they are hahah.

Thats why I asked if he played the story. I killed everyone of them I could.

I haven't played Shivering Isles yet, I was going to with my high level character, but then I had to uninstall all my Oblivion mods for my Mod Manager to work and it ruined the game -_-

My friend did a genocide of all nords in his save XD I kinda wanna do something like that. Not Nords, though. Maybe Redguards or Argonians?

There isn't as many Argonians let alone Redguards to do that, like with Nords its like 50-90% of the population.

Dark Elves :P

Wonder how an assasination of the one in Whiterun would turn out...

Never played Skyrim, so I don't get it xP

What do you mean by that? If you said what I think you said, then it all matters on how good you are and if you get caught or not..
edit: why not go assassining all the Jarl's after you do their quest, or does it still not let you kill them? I haven't tried killing a Jarl yet.

If i ever play skyrim again, itll probably be a new file cuz my old file is on my cuzin's xbox

id assume you would be able to, but all the guards would cluster f*** you

Hahahha, guards are easy to deal with nowadays xD

hahah yeah... i remember when i tried to take on the greybeards.... that was funny

They all used Ice Form on me. At the same time. In real time, I was frozen for 7 hours!

^that happened to me too xD

They used alot of fus ro dah and the disarm one.... it was kinda OP

I feel like going on Skyrim to take on the greybeards now .. .xD

just got skyrim :D

youd probs succeed,... i wanna slaughter them, along with the two people from the swords...

Maaadd, say bye to your social life...
Hahah I have all the best stuff in the game (but daedric armour, mainly because it made me to OP so I cbfed), I killed my wife (aela from the companions).... I don't know how, I turned it on one day and she's lying there and I was like lolwtf..

I saw a video where some guy attacked a greybeard, got Ice formed, Disarmed, and Fos Ro Dah'd off the cliff.

Unnluucckky, what was he doing on the side of the cliff -.-

I remember I was fighting a Drougr Overlord. I was using my Glass Battleaxe when he disarmed me. It flew through a wall. I never saw it again  :'(.

That happened to me :o! I got something better soon after though (same dungeon I believe)

Attacking a praying greybeard XD

lol, he should of saw his surroundings before he attacked it.

My social life is school, facebook, evionet, and texting XD

whenever that happens to me, i go super rage and dont even try to put another sword or whatever on, i use my fists, and my voice... like a BOSS

Like a Bau5

I know. So do I.

I remember when I bought the Windhelm house I put stuff in the chest before I did the quest. I put three thousand pounds of weapons, armor and dragon scales and bones. Then I redecorated the house and the chest was gone.  :'(

BAHAHAH, that sucks so much.... i wouldve thrown my controller across the room and set my playstation on fire

I know.

Just like I threw my controller against my flyscreen in my window and it came back and hit me in the face...

that was one of the funniest things ive seen. i was actually almost on the floor. just like when that derp of a striker headered that ball straight into the ground

Hahahhaha, good times when we play FIFA... XD

the list would be massive if we could be bothered doign it...

Truueee, love glitchyness

bahahh thats a bit of an understatement

Wonder if we will have the same enjoyment with 12.. It's less buggy but brings a lot more bugginess as well...

hmm idk... liek.. mayb... mayb itll be fail... cant wait for it to be like 20 dollars ahhah

Yeah it was like $60 at EBgames (think itwas on sale, dunno if it is anymore) i'm waiting for it to be below $50.. even lower maybe because I want Zelda OoT ($68)

yeah bad.. . 40 is too expensive for fifa games now

By the time it's $40 FIFA13 will come out :(

thats the point....

When I havea job it'll be fine.

i have a job and its still too expensive..

You waste your money on lots of other things though xD

cause im a boss...

there i corrected it for you

BAHAHA WHYS EVERYONE MAKING ME LOL TODAY!

^ that is why

Not as funny as the first time:.... Negative 1 internet

Please, I has lots of internetz.. you think 1 is much?

We all have lots of internets here, but 1less is still 1 less than what you had

I have a bretton that uses two handed weapons. problem?

You don't use magic... at all? xD

Nope. i had a high elf on my first play through who only used magic, and in Oblivion i only had mages, So my friend was like "magic is for sissies! i bet you couldn't beat the game without it". Challenge accepted. Beat it on Master. Took me forever though.
(http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/true-story-neil-patrick-harris.png)
My perks are all in heavy armor, Two handed, enchanting and smithing. I have all the shouts because that is all I have as far as range is concerned.

Magic isn't for sissies, early game magic gets you killed... a lot. Then you join mages guild, do that, level up... finish mages guild and create your own spells (lol) and then near end game you become OP as f----

Oh i know it isn't. my friend thinks it is

Yah I know :P

im a spellsword, i alternate alot between mage-ing (lolwut) and swords, im currently in a bow phase though....

Same.. I'm in the bow phase to :P (not that I play skyrim much since I cbf after playing a billion hours already and PS3 aint portable..

yeah pretty much man... thats the stage im in

But I've platinumed trophied it and probably done 50-70% of the side quests and finished the main quest and got all the good/OP items.. not including everything i've done on the other character >.>

i just plain cbf...

Khajiit. I play Stealthy in all the elder scrolls games.
I only have one save for now, I might need to make a second one for the dark brotherhood and the storm cloaks (I destroyed the Dark Brotherhood in my main save xD)

I always start off as a Mage and what not but end up joining brotherhood and going all stealthy >.>

While I am amazing with swords I try to balance being stealthy, magika, and dual wielding. It works pretty weilding

I love the whole dual wielding thing you can do on Skyrim, really enhances gameplay because you can have like any combination.

I wear heavy armor, and use a Sword & Sheild Combo, but I play stealthy at the same time :P

my play style= ENCHANTMENT. and i can do pretty much anything.

My play style=SMITHING! and I can make pretty much anything.

I do unarmed combat with my characters. What good is being a Nord if you can't throw it in people's faces?

Bracers that give 2245943034501324 extra points of damage upon strike? Now the only thing I need is the ability to put Soul Trap on them so I can literally beat the souls out of people.

I'm mostly based on Archery. In other news, I killed 4-5 dragons today, and 2-3 of the battles were taken directly to their perch!

Hahahahah, I love that glitch.. I've never used it though because it'd take all the fun out of the game.

What glitch?

You can enchant items to have like +149137571935139875614151magicka and stuff, or +134197419734197block or unarmed damage or something like that. So you literly walk around with no clothes on and one hit everything XD

HOWWWWWWW

Basically, there's no check in place in Enchanting. Which means you can disenchant something that has Fortify Enchanting, then enchant something with it, then while wearing that, enchant a new item with it, until you have an amulet or something that gives Enchantments are 23423985643532948250983452% stronger for 0 seconds". Then, you can just run around and enchant stuff until you die.

Youtube it or try follow what Aidan said, I find a visual explanation is easier to understand.

Can someone post a link? I can't find it.

It seems that I am the only one who chooses Imperial on the poll.
Being on command rules. :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRzvwHc_Yzo&feature=related


Didn't watch the video but skipped through and it looked right.

O_O I don't even..

http://steamcommunity.com/id/zohaibman72/screenshot/632989373430616082
Bow Chikca Wow Wow.
The Katanas are from a mod.

I have Katanas.

That's sick :D

Ahhhhhh! How do you increase the damage on the Ebony Blade? I killed ten people already but it's strength won't go up.

As in the daedric one?

Yes.

    First way: You have to kill NPCs you did quests for. You can either go on a killing rampage in a town or select your victims one by one.
    Second Way ("Victimless"): You have to own Breezehome and have to have Lydia as a Housecarl. You have to kill Lydia with the Ebony Blade and resurrect her using console commands (click on Lydia and type in "resurrect" without the quotes). Repeat until the Whispering Lady tells you that the blade has returned to it's full glory (around 10 times).
    Instead of using console commands, you can just kill 1 person who likes you, and reanimate them with "Dead Thrall." Because "Dead Thrall" doesn't turn them into ash when they die, the NPC can just be repeatedly killed the require number of times. This should also work for consoles. Confirmed on 360. (Needs confirmation on PC and PS3.)
    If you do not have "Dead Thrall," you may be able to reduce the amount of victims by using other reanimation spells on NPCs you have killed. (Confirmed PS3)
    Third Way ("Victimless" and works on console) complete the Dark Brotherhood quest series and continue to kill your Initiates. They respawn every few days as a male or female version. (needs verification)doesnt work on 360 initiates dont die
    (struck: Meeko counts as a victim, thus there is no "no victims" way of upgrading the blade. Any NPC killed will count towards the upgrade, even if you resurrect them via console commands.)
    Incidentally, the other Daedric Shrine quests often provide numerous opportunities to upgrade the Ebony Blade. Boethiah's quest involves both slaying a companion (one charge) and the cult leader who gives the quest upon investigation (second charge). If you choose to obtain Mehrune's Razor at the end of 'Pieces of the Past,' Silus counts towards another charge. The same applies to Hircine's quest, should you choose the Savior's Hide instead of the Ring of Hircine.
    Mercenaries and followers are also easy ways to add charges. Foes that you best in gambling brawls often become followers immediately thereafter, and mercenaries can be hired for 500 gold.
    For PC players, another way to cheat and empower the blade without negatively effecting NPC relationships is to find NPCs like bandits to set to a relationship rank of 3 or higher via the console and then kill them. This is the only way for a player who wants to maintain an unblemished "good guy" radiant story set to empower the blade. Otherwise, such as with the resurrect method, effected NPCs and their affiliations are liable to maintain the negative mark against the player resulting in, among possible other changes, greetings such as "Every time I see you my blood boils." and "What do you need you miserable wretch." etc.
    Another charge can be obtained by killing the blind bandit in White River Watch. Just tell him you are who he thinks you are first. It should give you a charge (it did for my game) since he thinks you're telling the truth.
    Another way of doing this is by finding a beggar within the town, giving them a single septim, then immediately killing them. This counts as a 'quest'/like status with them, and will give you a charge.

I know that. I meant Damage. My two swords do 80 and this sword only does 34 and I've already killed ten people

The ebony blade is evil O.O

Is this a question or? Theres ebony swords (great swords, maces etc.) but their is a daedric quest that you can do to get an ebony BLADE, it looks like a katana (the blade's sword, hence blade) and is evil.. if it wasn't a question then yea it's evil :o

Ebony Blade! I enchant two items to increase two handed damage and it goes down one damage point! Ppt Qué!

uMad?

Do you guys think I should keep using the Ebony Blade or should I use my Daedric Greatswlrd that does 90 damage compare to the 34 damage Ebony Blade

I used an ebony bow throughout most of my game and magic through another :/ So I cannot decide for you xD

I'm taking pics of each finisher I do. Here is a link to my screens.

xD

oh and btw. FALCON PAWNCH

http://steamcommunity.com/id/zohaibman72/screenshot/632989400368905904/?tab=public

It's not a question. Should have add a fullstop at the end of the sentence. sorry xD
I get it just for the achievement, I locked it away at my windhelm house cause it's too evil.. O_O

Mace of Molag Bal was much better. xD

Started a new file. I'm a level 16 Nord using the Nightingale Sword, Bow and armor. Is there a nightingale shield?

No nightingale's are meant to be thieves and what not, not warriors.. that's why they didn't make a shield.

I was walking around southwest of Markarth, thinking I was at the very edge of Skyrim. I saw that the path i was following went under an archway bewtween two mountains. I was like "SCORE! What's this lead to?" As soom as I went through the gate, though, the game turned evil. Something appeared above my head and I was unable to move! Then I realized it was words!
"You can't go that way."
(http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2009/3/26/128825490010985743.jpg)

LLOOOOOL, NOOOOOO!!

bahahah thats legend, howd you feel?

Hahahah win!

I still can't find Daedric stuffs. D: I only found a Daedric armor and that's it.. Any fixed locations of daedric wespons or armor? :P

Well "You can't go that way." is my arch-nemesis :P but I looked it up, and its right where Skyrim shares a border with Hammerfell, and its probably something that can be accessed by DLC

Ohh right, not sure if its the same thing but theres a doorway on the outskirts of Skyrim (pre sure it shares the boreder with other Hammerfell or cyrodiil), but it's widely discussed over the forum that there could be a possible DLC that lets you into Cyrodiil or something like that. Google it you might get more information, I'm to tired to think straight haha.

edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxg9LLo010g

I'm a bit confused. Why is Elder Scrolls uber-popular all of a sudden? I mean yeah the previous games were pretty popular in the gaming community, but Skyrim is like everywhere now.  :O

I could say the same thing with cod, I played CoD 3 and MW (4) like a billlion hours back in the day, then after like MW2 it became like the most popular game within the community.. Elder scrolls has always been popular, it's just some reason skyrim was a HUGE hype.. and everyone got it, everyone talks about it, because of the fact everyone talks about it and haves it everyone else that doesn't have it gets it.. IMO i love that their is lots of new joiners to elder scrolls.. but when it gets overun by noobs it turns to shi-.. thankfully it's not online like cod so you dont have to complain as much and just let them play and then stop playing and letting the pros rack up their hours.

Noobs won't play Skyrim.. They're always confused on where to go after Helgen.. xD

I believe Skyrim got popular because of the Graphics update and Dragons. :D Everyone loves dragon.


I hope we can go to Hammerfell. :D Who knows there are pyramids that we can explore!

A lot of people where waiting for the next installment. And on top of that all that's been coming out recently is shooters. Skyrim sticks out like a sore thumb.

Ive never played any other Elder Scrolls games. Ive never really knew that they existed until Skyrim

I only heard of Oblivion before Skyrim came out.

Arena
Daggerfall
Morrowind (This is when it began getting noticed, cuz GOTY 2002)
Oblivion (Once again, GOTY 2006)
and Skyrim. (GOTY 2011)

Nyehhhh! My Skyrim is taking 10-15 minutes to load because the file on my xbox is too large. I tried to delete my old files. But it's only helping a little. I had two characters, deleted one completely and somehow my one character takes up 4 gb of space.

That is odd. I have multiple saves taking up like 9gb of space and I load fine.

That is why I said. My friend on Xbox has one character and about one hundred saves and he takes up about as much as me both nothing happens.

Yeahh, my PS3 does that.. it's not that long for me but it still loads a bit slower then it did when I first got it.. :P

This. D: I donly have around 10 save files but it take ages to load..

The loading screen is faster now but when I click items or I pickpocket or search it takes a couple seconds to load

I have 150+ saves. lol

Well, you guys are using console. Console version take a while to load by themselves.
I have it on Xbox and on PC. PC version loads so fast I can't even read the loading screens blurb.

Yeah.. My friends have Skyrim on PC and I was like O_O when the loading screens lasted for like 1-3 seconds.

I am changing this to a Skyrim General Topic.

Yeah or else everyone is out of topic here xD

My bootiful thread T__T </3
I love how I only made this thread to see who made what kind of characters, and it kinda got taken over by everyone : P



Oh, and I decided to make a new file with a Nord (I felt left out being the only High Elf)
And I can't get through the first part now :'D
I either accidently set something on fire, or hurt/threaten/steel something accidently. o__o

Goood! But.. when you reply the subject is still Re: Skyrim~ which race did you choose?...

The subject is Re: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim here though.

I'm planning to make a new character too. This time I'm going with Either a Nord or some crazy reptilian people.. xD
Also The mage guile ending is kinda like an anti climax to me. I easily two hit ko'd the final boss with my awesome mace.. ._.

Yeah I know

Argonian. Do it :3 I bet it's actually really fun.

I'm Doing A Skyrim LP.
What Character should I pick?

Wood elf, no one here has played as them according to the poll.

I decided on redguard. They are similar to nords, because of there combat based racial bonuses, but they aren't OU.

>Does Video
>Realises hes to freaking quiet
>Deletes.

>Creates a Mod Showcase
>Realises he said um to much
>Meh. Whatever.
>Begins Uploading.

So has anyone heard of this 'secret' hidden weapon that does 400 something damage?

... continue

-_- I was asking you guys. I'm not sure what it is or if it's real. I was told by one guy that you need to kill 100 friends with Ebony BLADE!!! But I didn't believe that.

Ohh yeah, ebony blade gets stronger with certain amount of kills.. I guess if you kill 100 friends it can get realllly powerful like that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fuy7BN-PR8

Haha, it took me aaggess to realize it was your video >.> I was like, what's happening here.. not sure.. then realized (sounds off if you were talking)

Why u mock me with awesome weapons?

Awesome weapons is awesome. :O

Yeah you are right. :P I have the urge to name my argonian character Voldemort since they look so much like a snake.. xD

Finally getting on Skyrim for the first time in 5 days!  ;D

It's been like a 1-2months since I played it last :O!!!

me too... i wanna platinum it... but i cbf so bad.... i wanna plat me2 aswell... only one more playthrough

Hahha, yeah it's not hard to platinum it.. You just need to put in some solid hours a day. You should be able to get it generally through playthrough (but a few of them), like if you do the read 50 skill books one, you can generally do that while doing side quests (another trophy)

yeah its all pretty easy... its like the ME2 one. i shouldve done that on my first playthrough, but i didnt wanna jump into Insanity difficulty straight away

I'm happy for you. xD

Contemplating starting another skyrim gamethrough.. just with school I don't have time/patience.. xD

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s15sZenYXRI&feature=channel_video_title

i lold

Hahahha so much win, this is why I want a large HDD that I can constantly record to when playing any game for funny stuff lik that. Especially when we play like fifa or something because so much lols happen.

Yeah, I know, especially l4d aswell, and battlefield. Funny stuff always happens

I had an interesting idea... bring my 32" from my room, into the room with the 42" bravia, grab my other 50" tv, set up the 50" and the 32" on the coffee table of the room with the bravia... skyrim sesh on the 2 tvs... just because unplugging the bravia will be a **** and the one in my room and the 50" in the other room has like 3 wires... if that xD. we could also have like one on the bravia and the other on my 32" but it's just the distances and we won't have equal view of the screens and will be off... though one will have a massive screen and the other won't have as big :P.. just throwing ideas around xD

I'm still voting for anothe l4d sesh soon.... U me Andy and Harri....

Yeah.. only thing is we are going to need to run the cracked version and that crashes fairly frequently for some reason recently with L4D.. might cause problems that yours runs through steam and ours won't.. but we're going offtopic here.

Skyrim Creation Kit was released yesterday, its awesome. (PC-Only)
And Skyrim got its first DLC. PC-Exclusive.

High Res Texture Pack.

If your computer can run skyrim, then there is now no reason to buy it for consoles.

http://video.ak.fbcdn.net/cfs-ak-ash4/436497/941/108725879252741_12083.mp4?oh=b12c2c9e4f1c2af9875d78387debb1e8&oe=4F35C200&__gda__=1328923136_44d368f9005effa188d29d2243658a56

I was walking through Solitude and this is what happened.

NOW WE KNOW WAT YOU SOUND LIKE!!!

My laptop can run skyrim.. I bought it for a console.... I have a very good reason.

That just means I'm comfortable to post a video with my voice.

Everything I see you post all I'm going to hear is you saying dododoroodoododoroo from now on hahahah xD

That's fine xD. I just wish I wasn't sick when I recorded that.

What is this Skyrim you people speak of? I'm busy playing OBLIVION. HA!

Also, Grim, your link stopped working.

Oblivion <3

Gonna start my Genocide >:D

It's gonna be an immortal mode runthrough, but Im giving my character some background. His name is Muergein the Daedra(Black Khajiit). His goal is to destroy all human races. He wears a suit-thing(whatever i can find that looks fancy) and kills with an ebony dagger and a yet-to-be-distinguished bow. And he'll be maxed out with all stats, magic, and shouts :D

Genocide? Is that like a **** version (like with pokemon) how once your dead your dead?

a genocide, regarding to humans, is the intentional wiping out of a specific group of people. I'm wiping out all human races, and trying to leave alone the beast and elf races. well, i might wipe out the elves...

Ahh okay.. sounds.. fun? I guess it could have some enjoyment.. only if your an assassin though, otherwise it'd be annoying running from guards or going to jail or paying lots of money so often..

~TGM
God Mode >:D

Wouldn't that make it less enjoyable?

IMO it doesn't. The game is easy enough as it is. Though some perks and stuff become useless.
I think Fallout with TGM is more entertaining than Skyrim with TGM.

But with cheats in skyrim you can find morrowind.

HOW???

Youtube it, it's been done before. You use like no walls or flying or something. Can't remember.

Oi, my Skyrim won't play songs during the loading screen when I start the game so it's taking forever to load. Anyone know how to fix?

Nope, I mainly played (120 hours) on skyrim on my PS3, haven't played as much on PC so I never had a problem like that that I could fix.

Well i did the glitch that i found on youtube. I got out of the map, so i guess i was in morrowind. There was nothing but terrain though. I don't really know what to expect; ive never been there before.

I don't think your supposed to go there though, that's why it's just terrain. So if you see it from a distance looks like somethings there.

I've played less then that but it's taking forever to load. I left it on for an hour and it didn't start yet!

Should I dual wield two Nightingale Blades or a nightingale blade and Daedric sword?

What da heck??? When I go into third person, my characters has steam spouting out from six points... And there's sparks flying out of his feet???/

If you've played the previous elder scrolls, you will recognize the shape of the landmasses.

Maybe he is turning into a Dwemer Centurion?

I experienced a weird glitch. All my weapons had doubled in strength with magic or potions or anything. Sadly it went away.

Ironically, I first noticed it while in Blackreach(An ancient underground Dwemer City)

I know what it is.

Also does anyone happen to know where I could find an item with am enchantment that "If target dies within three seconds, it fills a soul gem."?

I'm going to be getting this in about 5 days.

I might not see you guys for a few months after I get it :P

Ughhh! My game keeps freezing! Every couple times I go somewhere it freezes.

Do you have many mods?

I have it for xbox. Not PC.

I don't know then :-\

That happens to me too but i solved the problem by deleting some saves, try that.

I did. I have like seven saves left and it's not working. And now the game is frraking out. When I go into a newly discovered cave there is a big blue spot. Even in buildings.

This is what happened when I went into a temple. I Had to walk around because I would fall into the locked basement if I didn't.

Skyrim is downloading alot faster than I thought it would!

2 hours and it's already at 35%

Best Game Ever.

I am trying to get some decent house mods, but there is a person called "HouseCarl" that makes **** mods and it keeps interfering with the search results.

Hmmmm that is weird, but skyrim has loads of glitches (pretty much every single bethesda game has) try playing around with the settings or if your using the pc version try and download a mod that will help

So I had this idea. The textures/skeletons/etc. can be transferred from Pokepark to Brawl, so would it be possible to transfer them to Skyrim? I know it would be a difficult process and I've already been told why(So I don't need ppl telling me why it would be hard or if it would NOT work). I started coming up with ideas if it was possible and I'm going to post my brainstorming ideas on other sites to see if anyone can transfer pokemon to skyrim. The only real pokemon mod ive seen is a roselia and Ive heard it looked too freaky, and there are a lot of glitches. So Id like to see something more realistic :)

Video of Hoppip in Brawl:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RisW1SXKAVU

There's some tutorials on how to do this kind of stuff too.

Yeah it would work, things like this have been done countless times before, I just don't know anybody who would bother doing it.  If I was good with models I might be able to do it, but then you need to send over the animations which might not be compatible so it would need to be converted over and over.

It can be done, but it isn't worth the effort to most people.

My God...


Edit: Also in recent news, Skyrim 1.5 update is in Beta, you can get it if you want but it does have plenty of bugs and will break the CK if you want to use it.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/news/article.php?id=87 (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/news/article.php?id=87)
Most of the new features include kill cams and visual effects, but also plenty of bug fixes (Such as finally being able to marry Lydia when you move into Whiterun).

So much awesome!

I know you linked me to a tutorial a while ago, but could you re-link me?

Playing a new game on skyrim.
First person to reply chooses the race.
Next person to reply chooses the class. (i'll probs go archer as i've been a warrior and a mage already)
Third person chooses the name.


No double posting/replying twice!!

be an argonian!!

I think that's what you meant.

nye scrw you :P

Sorry bro, you didn't respond quick enough :P
Argonian Archer called: .......

Doctor Doolittle!

To whoever gets the real reference, you deserve all of my cookies!

alchestbreach

Yup ^_^

What gender?

Male

Male Argonian Archer by the name of Doctor Doolittle will be made as soon as I cbf getting my skyrim disc xD

yays

SUCCESS!

should have been female argonian archer named 'The Lusty Argonian Maid'

Hahah, damn.. Well next time.

I played it for 40ish+ minutes yesterday and went.. I have started a new game like 8 times I really cannot be bothered doing all this again.. So after gym i'll hammer it out so that I get past that boring threshold

Zu'u yah faal rein se dov. Dreh hiin hadrim lost faal rein se dov?

Wow...

You took Alduin's insult seriously xD

What insult? :P

When you meet Alduin for the first time, after talking for a while in Dragon Language, he looks at you and says "This arrogant Human doesn't even understand our tongue".

Is there a site that translate the Dragon-Tounge language?

It's definitely not perfect
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Language

(http://www.freesmfhosting.com/gallery/evionet/34_04_04_12_8_23_40.jpeg)

MWAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry for the bad quality

Did anyone else need to update their Skyrim today?

Nah, I bought Kingdom of Amalur so I haven't played skyrim in 2 days :P

My character has become a traveling gold jewelry salesman. I've been selling transmuted golden jewelry to ppl almost all day XP

Wouldn't that get boring?

It is but now I can afford the house in Soulitude ;D and I'm close to fully furnishing it

How much was the house worth? Pretty sure i have 120k+ on my main character (on ps3 there is a trophy for getting 100k, thats why i had so much)

Property: 25000
Upgrades: 11000
36000 gold

I probably wouldn't have needed to sell that jewelry all day if I hadn't bought every other house too XD

Dark Brotherhood Forever was irrelevant because....:

I ignore the Dark Brotherhood

Hahahaha yeah, fair enough.

I got a mod for Skyrim that redoes about 95% of the Player's dialogue to sound like a Khajiit, so it inspired me to start another game as a Khajiit.

I love the way the conversations sound now.


Priest: You need to take the potion to get to the other side.
Me: Khajiit refuse to drink potion, it could kill him!  Go get some Argonian to do it!

XD

Spoilers~
I was doing the Emperor Assassination quest where you kill the fake one, that cook, Gianna, would talk to me but at the 'It's just...' she would suddenly stop and there was no way to proceed with the quest. XD
Looked a bit on the Wiki. Found out that if you're a vampire, the quest won't work.
However, in my case, it was my custom race.
Because she's like:
- It's just...
- I never thought the Gourmet would be a <insert race here>.
This would cause an issue since my race isn't coded in the game itself you know.
I had to change race just for that quest and it's such a pain with that update.
All my stats get mixed up and I go back to having my hands tied... -.-
So like I have to set my stats through the console everytime I modify my character. q_q

that sucks Mag.

If you have the PC version, a custom race fix might be able to fix that too.

Also, I found a race mod that adds a bunch of Lore Friendly races to the game, such as Ayelids, Dwemer, Maormer, Falmer (The Old Snow Elf ones), Half-Giants, Half-Goblins, Forsworn, and Lilmothiit (Although, the Lilmothiit looks less like the Fox Race it is supposed to be in TES Lore, but more of a deformed Khajiit xD).

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13984 (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13984)

My SkyrimLauncher.exe stop working.
Every time I open it, it automatically stops responding.
I am now forced to 'Custom Launch' Skyrim through the Nexus MM by specifying the TESV.exe instead of SkyrimLauncher.exe.

I tried everything and searched the web like a mad man but there is no fix.
Except maybe reinstalling and I don't want that.

Yes, all my mods still work when I launch NMM pointing to TESV.

You can do everything the launcher does and more with the Mod manager (Other than a few graphical settings).

And why not get the Script Extender from www.skse.silverlock.org (http://www.skse.silverlock.org)?  Though you need to update it with each Skyrim Update.


On the topic of my new character, everyone is Racist to my Khajiit ;_;

(http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Dawnguard.jpg)
Picka Picka wow, Picka picka wow.
Skyrim's first DLC, more info in e3 2012.

Only info is the name, this promo image and it's coming for xbox a month before pc and ps3.

There will be Kinect support too.


And... ANOTHER MISC QUEST BUGGED!
This game has so many faults it's impossible. Do Bethesda even care anymore?
Like the Esbern problem. This should have been fixed a while ago.

Anyway, Get Your Reward from Skald is stuck there in my journal forever and there's nothing to do about it because the state of the quest is supposedly incomplete leaving it on the 'displayed' status.
And it wasn't even a giant I killed but THE DRAGON AT SHEARPOINT FOR THE 100TH TIME!

Look at the eyes, some messed up **** will be introduced, maybe vampires?

Don't know, but it has been "Leaked" (I use that word lightly, since the hints were included in the last PC update's files) that it will Involve Snow Elves, which if you don't know are the Falmer before they were turned into whatever they are now.

Before years of underground slavery by the Dwemer.
I want a DLC that will introduce a survivor of the Dwemer. But I guess I can do with Falmers for now. XD

There was a Dwemer Survivor in Morrowind, but it would be interesting to have a Dwemer on your team with all Dwarven equipment :P

It may have to do with dawnstar, because of the name, and the fact that dawnstar, other than the cleansing of the evilness, really has nothing to do with the storyline.

:o
I never knew.


I thought about that.
It has the Dawnstar Sanctuary too. And that mysterious lighthouse.
And supposedly, there's a sewer system leading to a secret entrance to the Sanctuary...? XD

Thats only when you move in and buy the entrance from Delvin.

In the past few days of playing my Khajiit save I just realized, they didn't include the Tail Curl Around animation for when Khajiit sit down D:

In Oblivion, if a Khajiit sat down, their tail would curl around next to their legs, to avoid clipping issues.  But in Skyrim, their tail just sticks through the bottom of the seat.

What I'd give for a mod that fixes it, it's just immersion breaking and annoying >.<

Where is it? I never found it.

theres alot of it unfortunately.


i started a new playthrough, a nord (just because) and im making an archery illusion build. its gonna be so much fun

I wanna start again and be like a huge tanker. XD
I was an archer for my first playthrough since it's all around easier and I got used to the controls and systems, etc. Plus, being an archer was easier on my PC.
A Conjurer may be nice too. Oh yeah! About that, is there a Conjure Bound Bow in the game?

I got the Wabbajack...
It's so much fun!

I want a killable children mod, so whenever a child asks me to turn them invisible, I can use the Wabbajack on them xD

This game is gonna be fucking HUGE

We all knew it was coming, but it wasn't confirmed until now.

But I won't really be looking forward to it.  I liked Skyrim because it was a Single Player RPG.

It's almost as bad as SWTOR.  Lots of the people who loved KOTOR I/II liked them because they were Single Player RPGs.  Making the "Sequel" an MMO was a bad idea.

Though, this isn't the official sequel, so I'm fine with it, I just don't think it will be a big success other than the money it will make from hype.

Edit: On a different topic, Morrowind is on sale for the next four days on Steam, and I can get it.  Is it worth it?  I know the Nexus Mod Manager recently added Morrowind support :P

Find a way to try it illegally. I can't play it because its so much more different than skyrim and oblivion, and the sneaking mechanics are so complicated and dumb :/

Yes there is, you can do a conjurer and arche build, the good thing about it is, that for instance, your damage modifiers for conjuration, stacks onto your archery damage modifiers, so you can literally do like 2000 damage with a bow that does 20 without any modifiers/skills

Do all dmg mod for conjuration stacks with the proper skill dmg mod?
Swords, Axes, etc.


Huge doesn't even describe it. :o

Well, I just bought it around 10 seconds after reading the word 'mod' soo yeah get it.

Costume mods should be alright.
Moving around in a Wolverine suit for example.
And lighting mods are okay too.
What else?

Hmm, I if I get Skyrim, Battlespire and Redguard, I'll own every single Elder Scrolls game in some form!

Was it here that we were discussing the TES Online?
http://www.mmoculture.com/2012/05/elder-scrolls-online-combat-explained.html
See this. :U

If you've moded your base bow stats for instance, and then you've nodded your conjuration, they will stack ONLY when your using a conjoured bow, otherwise, no

Dawnguard Official Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=/watch%3Fv%3D3PjBSicSVqI%26feature%3Dg-u-u)
Yup...

If you can't watch it for Age Restrictions, a workaround is to go on the Xat Chatbox (http://xat.com/EvionetCommunity) and post the link there and watch it on their video player.

:o Wtf?

You can be Werewolves
You can be Vampire

Now:
You can be Gargoyles!

Those were Gargoyles? Really? :/

I think so.  That's what it looks like.

Either Demons or Gargoyles.  I'm saying Gargoyles for now :P

thats really weird.....

Looks freaking awesome.

Ooooo, a place where I fit in :D I have a level 19 Khajiit and a level 32 Altmer :3 I still need to update my game though D': So I haven't been able to play for a while now :L Lets say... 3 moths xD

Xbox or PC?

PC, but I'm not a cheater like most PC gamers :L I find cheating just makes it a lot more boring, I like PC for the graphics :D

I don't like PC because of the graphics. XD
Can't play it well enough on my lappy.
I like PC because of the mods~

iMac with Windows= BEAST GAMING COMPUTER!!! I can run Skyrim at full quality at ease... Not as good as Alienware, but doesn't have heating problems o.O When I play on Xbox I'm just like "F* This, controls are confusing, shooting a bow= 10 000x harder and the grass... ITS POOP!" xD I just played it on saturday... The armour detail was almost as good though :D

Dunno what iMac you got but mine BURNS from just playing Klondike Solitaire. XD

...
*Hugs*

There are other PC Gamers :'D


Though have you tried any mods?  There are pretty balanced mods that just add more features.  Such as Deadly Dragons or Phendrix Magic (Well, that's a little OP...  Maybe Midias Magic (I think that's how it's spelled)).

There's a lore-friendly monster mod too.

Is it Martegen?  If so, then it should be Lore Friendly (to a degree).

Lol magoo xD that's sh*ty :/Another PC gamer :'D yay! I have not heard of those mods O.o I shall try them out though :3

Get all of your mods here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/ (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/)

Not really one click install like Steam, but if you don't know how to install it on your own, try getting the Nexus Mod Manager, makes installing mods almost one click.  Gopher (http://www.youtube.com/user/Gophervids) has alot of useful tutorials.

And if you want to get Serious about mods, you should get SKSE (http://skse.silverlock.org), since alot of the good mods need it.  Make sure to read the install instructions carefully.  It's not that difficult but you can mess it up if you don't know what you are doing.


I did kind of rant on, but those are some good tips for using mods.

Thanks :D

It's old though.
Was the last model that came with Tiger. XD

Oh, mines brand new 2012 type xD

I recently started a new female Breton. However I still never use magic. I only use healing and summoning familiar wolves.

(http://myfacewhen.com/images/399.gif)

I'm sorry, I just hate magic. I can't use. Besides I need as much carrying weight as I can get, which as of now is 510

My level 32 female high elf/altmer uses one long sword while using some sort of spell, usually fire... It kills enemy's soooo fast! But yeah, I use to hate magic as well...

I just use an Enchanted Dagger and Electric Spells :P

I swear every time i look at your avatar, it changes. :P

Of course, it's an animated gif silly. XD

It's cuz my other .gif pic didn't work xD

yeah but before that it was something else nd before that it was something else

I really wanna get Skyrim, but those spiders... ugh...

So who thinks dawn guard is going to be worth getting?

Well it's Elder Scrolls DLC, those are all worth getting :D

Well, except for those Official Mods for Oblivion, those were terrible...
But a couple of the House Mods were good.

Yeah, i'll probably try a cracked version. Also, the mods you have me were great :D I downloaded the make your own house and the new race one

I haven't tried Build your own Home yet, when I update all my current Skyrim Mods, I'll be sure to try it out.

And which New Race mod?  Because there are alot xD

Ii honestly don't know xD It was under hot mods...

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V:_Dawnguard (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V:_Dawnguard)

Apperently the new transformation is a "Vampire Lord", it overrights the lycanthrope disease if you have it (:(), but apperently you can regain it later if you want (:D).

And it also adds two new perk trees for Vampires and Werewolves.

Oh, and they are bringing crossbows back :D

And I was kind of right, there are gorgoyles, but they are enemies :P

Last but not least, a new NPC is added to the Riften Ratways who can change your appearence, but not your race/gender.  This is good for the Console and PC versions, since in the PC version, using console commands to alter your appearence also resets your stats and race bonus.

And you can sign up for a beta test for Dawnguard, like how you can sign up for version beta tests on Steam, except it is more exclusive.  Oh, and it is only for Xbox players too.

One last thing, if you have the Console Version, they will add mounted combat, so you can use bows and melee weapons on a horse.  But this was already added in the 1.6 update for PC players.



Wow, this was a messy post, but you guys get the point :P

I find mounted combat really hard... And I also looked all this up :3 I can't wait for crossbows for my new archer character :3 I do like long bows more, but crossbows are nice if you have a little more time since they are slower to reload and are more powerful.

When is the release date?

June 26 for Xbox, no release date for PC or PS3 yet.

UGHHHHH!!!! Im gonna be stuck at camp for the next month on SUnday!

June 26= RELEASE OF DAWN GUARD!!! :D Ima have to wait a week or 2 for the cracked version, but maybe I'll get the real one O.o So many choices ;D Mine aswell wait for the reviews though since I'ma be off island for braces getting tightend...

I'm not paying anything for PC anymore.
And I don't have Skyrim on PS3...
Whenever I buy a PC game, some shit happens with it. And my lappy's not powerful enough.
Lag is omnipresent. So it's more like throwing money by the window instead of buying a game. XD

So I spent all day making a companion/spouse for a custom race mod I have to use with one of my save games.

I got it working, but something corrupted the mod, so the game crashes every time I save ;_;

Sorry, wrote the wrong month xD July 26th I think xD My bad

I need help. I am playing Dawnguard and in the very beginning you walk with that guy to the Castle. But when I get close, he starts attacking me. Is this some glitch?

Could be.  Look on the wiki.

I would help you out myself, but I (and anyone who doesn't own it for the Xbox) have to wait for over another month before we can get it :P

Dawngaurds out... Why can I not find it anywhere =.+

Go to Skyrim menu and go to active downloads and it will give you the option to go to the marketplace. Get it there.

Thank shmu

When does the dlc come out for ps3 :'(!!!!!

Same time as PC, nobody knows.

Wah wah, I want it nooooww :P

It's supposedly supposed to be about a month after the Xbox Release.

So expect it to be about July 25 - July 31

But, but.. I was hoping it would come out now during holidays, I'll be back at school in like 2 weeks :(

Ughhh, my Skyrim is taking a minute longer to load than usual.

DLC does that

So do mods :P

But it's been 9 minutes.

Yeah I jumped on it yesterday and it took like a minute+ to load -.- (ps3), thats what 11mb save file does haha.

Does anyone know or can find out if you can cure bring a Vampire Lord?

From what I read, you can do it by finishing the quests or, if you were previously a werewolf, you could talk to Aela the Huntress and she could turn you back to a werewolf.

Bump

So yesterday I was downloading a huge armor mod, and I remember thinking to myself, "What are the odds that this mod will be updated tomorrow and I'll have to redownload it before I even get to use this version?".  But I shrugged it off and got it anyway.

Well guess what happened today...  It updated.  Before I even got to see the current version...
Why must Skyrim Mods update SO much?  I love that they are actively supported by their authors, but it's getting a little annoying...

If it's just bug fixes, or like one extra thing in the mod, you might as well keep your version until there is a more major update.

Actually it was a major update.  Included lots of new armor and a few new features.

I like the new armor and race mods, they just enhance the game so much :3 The high quality texture pack is also a nice feature but Linda makes it slower :/ I just can't wait for Dawnguard :D I've been looking each day, they said it would come out around these days, BUT WHERE IS IT >.<

It came out on the 26th of June, so maybe tomorrow xD

That's what I was thinking, but you can never be to "careful" about release dates ;3

New Official DLC Announced!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRmdXDH9b1s&feature=g-u-u
A slightly more detailed article on it. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/news/223/)

I knew about it. Now I can prove there is dragon mounting is being released.

Yeah, looks a little out of place, but still cool.

Also, if that was Morrowind in the trailer:
(http://www.geekzenith.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/shut-up-and-take-my-money.jpeg)

It's not. It's still in sky rim but it looks like MOrrowind.

Oh...  Well, as long as there's Silt Striders, I'm happy ^_^

Edit: Nevermind, I thought I saw a Silt Strider at 0:26.  It was just a plant...

It is morrowind.
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/11/05/bethesda-confirms-skyrim-dragonborn-dlc
It's in Solstheim, an island in morrowind, it was used in Bloodmoon.

Oh. I was wrong.

Got back into Skyrim.
My characters:

High-Elf Mage

Just beat Dragonborn. Loved it. At the end you can respec your skills as many times as you want.

So I'm getting ready for an alternate Skyrim Save.  I had an idea to start with a scrawny custom race character and have them progress as a warrior by using this mod (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/29476/).  Now should I use Maces/Hammers, Axes, or Swords and should I be one-handed or two-handed?  I've always been fond of the Axes, but I've never tried Maces/Hammers before...

I also want to know if I should go with the Stormcloaks or Imperials?  I always go with the Imperials, so I've never had a chance to play as a stormcloak.  I do love the Stormcloak Armor.

(this is the customm race if anyone's interested (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13561))

Found some neat mods for starting a new file:
Random Alternate Start http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25404 (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25404)
Character Creation Overhaul http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21587 (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21587)

There's also this one that I used for a while, though I didn't like how it handled the introduction into the main quest.

Live Another Life: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9557

Alright I'm confused. Why do NPC's I'm fighting sometimes ask for mercy when I'm about to kill them and run away, only to end up attacking me again and make me finish the job? I'm mean I get that It could happen sometimes, but it happens every time, is every enemy a dumbass or something?

They are thugs. They go down and start regenerating health and then try again but fail.

All NPCs in Bethesda games are like that.  People in Fallout 3 and NV did it as well.

Anyone have a fix for banded shadows in the PC version?

Tropical Skyrim Overhaul (http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/876719-tropical-skyrim-a-climate-overhaul-mod-wip/)

(http://i.imgur.com/M2s8P.gif)

Played like 5 minutes with it.
Awesome.
But birds fly through the ground.

Yeah, I was in a wrecked ship near Windhelm and there was a bird flying underneath the deck in a closed-off space XD

Oh hey, this topic is a thing.
I've played Skyrim on and off for a while. I have Dawnguard, plan to get Dragonborn soon.

Current characters I'm running:

One handed/light armor/sneak/restoration/destruction dual wielding spellsword.
One handed/light armor/sneak/block/smithing hit and run mace character. I rarely stop moving and attack long enough for the mace's low attack speed to matter. I run in, hit them once, run off, if they get too close, shield bash them to stun them, whack them with the mace, run off again. I rarely get hit by melee attacks.
lolgenericsneak/illusion/daggersvampire
One handed/heavy armor/block/conjuration/destruction mage knight. I call it a mage knight instead of a spellsword because to me what makes the difference between the two is armor. I just made this character yesterday.

I'm also thinking of starting a Bound Bow specialized character soon.

My char is similar to your first, but with conjuration and archery.

*Playing new character on Skyrim*

*Possible companion in bar challenges me to a brawl after talking about a person she killed accidentally in a similar brawl*

*Agrees*

*Half way through brawl, she pulls out a greatsword and starts attacking me with it*

*Keeps attacking her and does finisher*

*Finisher kills her*

*Nobody Reacts*

*...*

*Hides body in closet and never speaks of it again*

I removed Tropical Skyrim.
It's impossible when exploring caves/tunnels. D;

So I was up till 6:00 am last night playing Skyrim...  I do this EVERY time I reinstall it xD
I also got an awesome werewolf overhaul mod and model replacement :D

:\

Did you see it?
Sometimes I can't even see the path. I have to take out the map to move through underground jungles. It makes no sense.
And on the way to that village down the throat of the world, it was lagging as hell.
That's also a reason why I removed it. My lappy isn't too powerful y'know?

But, the guys who did the mod are really AWESOME~
I mean, I never would have imagined such a good overhaul. More than an overhaul, it was like a new game.

I never used it.  Almost did, but I decided to go with a more lore-friendly mod list (At least what i consider lore-friendly :P)

'Lore-Friendly'
Just make your own lore right? Best way to go~ :P

Exactly, that's the best way to mod ^_^

Ok, I'm gonna take my new Skyrim playthrough seriously.  Gonna try to invest time into it every day I can and post updates :P

Oh, and a picture of my current character (Been wearing the same armor for a while, I'm working on smithing a new set):

Is he a dog/wolf person?
The face doesn't look like khajiit. Too long.

its some dog people mod he got

Read the description :P

I just looked at the pic. XD

I'm probably going to be getting Dragonborn soon.
So yay.

The Elder Scrolls Anthology
I am getting this for sure.
(considering I don't own any of the games and only really played Skyrim)

Better plan, get Arena and Daggerfall for free as Bethesda released them for free on the series' tenth anniversary (use these links for easier to use installers: Arena (http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net/?title=Arena_:_ArenaSetup_EN), Daggerfall (http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net/?title=Daggerfall_:_DaggerfallSetup)) then wait for the rest to go on sale on Steam. It's worth the wait, I barely spent anything on Morrowind/Oblivion.

Sato is right.

Unless you really want the books and maps, it's kinda a waste.

Skyrim Ultimate can be sold for as low as 29.99, with Oblivion for 6$ and Morrowind for 3$
Both Oblivion and Morrowind have all the expansions.
And Arena and Daggerfall are free now.

I said it already: I LOVE SPECIAL EDITIONS!
I want the book and maps~
Also, I would always rather have physical copies of my stuff.
And in such a beautiful package, I can't say no~

Just finished the Main Story of the Dragonborn DLC. Did some, but not all of the sidequests.

My Thoughts.

It's really annoying how once you start the main quest of it and do it's first real dungeon that your Dragon Souls start getting stolen. You basically need to enter the DLC with about 3, maybe even 6, dragon souls ready to go. This is because one shout that is required to finish the questline doesn't pay for itself like Unrelenting Force.

The Magic you can gain on Solsteim is great, espeically for a conjuror. I suspect to use my Seeker, Ash Spawn, and Ash Guardian a lot even once I return to Skyrim.

The Shouts available are too awesome to spoil.

The ability to make Dragonbone Weapons means there's even more reason to practice smithing if you happen to be a warrior. I am a mage, so that's not too important, but it's good for money either way.
