My character must be multiple personality. I pretty much always do the "good" things, but then I did join the dark brotherhood. lol
Just had a strange quest with them. Had to hide in a coffin to eavesdrop on someone. weird......

Bah they tried to kill me too. Multiple times. Always hostile.


Although I must say I have seen what happens when you do join a side. Watched my brother progress through his Stormcloaks side. I don't want to give too much away, but it does get exciting and event changing. I figured this go around I'll side with the Stormcloaks. Next time with the Imperials.



And going to prison wasn't that bad, it was fun. Although I resisted arrest and escaped. I just healed myself and leveled up my armor ratings. Nothing like easy skill leveling lol.


If you want a real messed up quest to do there's a few in Margarath. Man is this place and it's people messed up...
Did the House of Horrors quest and have one more disturbing one to do.

I believe I'm gonna go through all the main quests before joining either of them.

Just curious, if you join either of them, can you still enter the cities controlled by the other?
If you join the Imperials, wouldn't you be attacked on sight if you enter Windhelm?

What I mean by assassination attempt is that I actually snuck up behind someone and made it do the forehead assassination move lol. I still do the goody 2 shoes quests, except for House of Horrors and a few Thieves guild quests. And I still have the Dark Brotherhood after me lol!

From what I have seen yes you still can.

Oh ok, thought you meant you had finished your first contract for the brotherhood.
Still haven't done the House of Horrors yet. Got the quest a while ago, maybe I'll finally go and finish it.....

Finish that quest. The Mace of Molog Bal is very powerful if you improve it with all smithing gear and a smithing potion. The soul trap perk is more than enough reason to get the mace

[JonM229]

I started the House of Horrors quest, but haven't brought the Priest back to that house in Markarth. I was too freaked out after the [spoiler]clamped down on me[/spoiler]

[Purple Punishment]

I know right, no worries, you are Molog Bals champion. He won't hurt you now

[Purple Punishment]

Or will he?....... Mwahahahahahah

OK, I already have that mace. Must have finished that quest in one of my drunken play-throughs. lol
I created a Daedric bow with fire damage and soul trap. I'm stealing souls left and right now.

Becoming the Arch-Mage of the Winterhold College wasn't that hard - only a few quests. The hardest part was that, as I was reclaiming the College, a dragon was swooping overhead and attacking everyone haha.

After first joining the College, I went to sleep in my bed there. When I went outside the next morning, there was a blood dragon just sitting in the courtyard.

Hands down the Game of the Year 2011. EASY. My wife hates this game with a passion.Literally logged over 80 hours of playtime and still enjoyed playing the game afterI completed the major story line. My wife finally hid the x-box.

Great game if you are single. Very addicting.

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Absolutely love Skyrim. But it wasn't my GOTY.

[YYZ66]

Dragons definitely like the college. I've fought a couple there also.

This.

No matter how immersive and huge SKyrim is, I will never stray away from my opinion that Portal 2 was the best game that was created this year.

Anyway, back to Skyrim. I don't ever want to finish this game. I am determined to finish every single quest, raid every dungeon I see, and fling as many arrows as I can at dragons before I even try to face Alduin. Impending end of the world my [profanity deleted], I have food to cook.

[Purple Punishment]

lol cooking food gets you nothing. i feel the same way about beating everything. i want to know the whole province of Skyrim is dead scared of me and my Daedric Mace like the guy from Gangs of New York. Adding notches for his kills!

[kagejb]

Oh I know that cooking food isn't relatively beneficial. I have a number of different potions, some of which I had to hide in my chest at home since I get over-encumbered too easily. The reason why I cook food at home is the same reason why I try to catch butterflies, chase mammoths, and commit mass murders at various towns: because [i]I can[/i]. I love this game.

[BloodRaven]

Small list of things I hate:

Loading times going in and out of buildings, theres only so many times you want to read that Nords are 50% resistant to cold when you're just trying to store some new armor.

The games psychic moral code, steal or kill even when theres nobody around and the guards all know. Even when it says you killed the last witness they still know.

Horses that act like guard dogs and suicide themselves chasing down dragons.

Some aesthetic stuff: skinny orcs, badly designed weapons and armor.

Framerate problems, a PS3 issue.

[Perfekt]

I had to take a break that damn fragment issue was making me mad. It didnt happen til i put about 60 some hrs in tho. Still one of my favorite games.

[YYZ66]

Dang, just found out I won't get the acheivement for the 15 daedric artifacts since I took the "good" route on one of the quests.

[Clutch Ravens]

I can't see Skyrim winning GOTY.

I've enjoyed it, but it has FAR too many glitches to even be given consideration. No game, no matter how large, should be released with as many bugs as Skyrim has.

[BloodRaven]

It didnt win GOTY, Dark Souls did.

One thing that would have made the game near perfect would be the ability to use the map to fast travel into specific buildings. And one single open market area with everything so you dont have to chase different merchants through different doors/loading screens.

Even if it didn't, that's my GOTY.

Horses that act like guard dogs and suicide themselves chasing down dragons. [b]LOL I've seen Shadowmere take on a bunch of guards while my brother was power skilling/leveling himself. Had like all of Whiterun guards after him for pickpocketing a guard lol. [/b]

Some aesthetic stuff: skinny orcs, badly designed weapons and armor. [b]Ebony swords imo fall in this category. [/b]

Framerate problems, a PS3 issue. [b]I usually shutdown and restart the PS3 after a few hours of gameplay. Solves that issue. [/b]
[/quote]

Things that I don't like:

Having a follower stand in the middle of the doorway or small tunnel while you're trying to turn around and get through.

Having your follower unsneak your sneak attack.

Dragonrend glitching in Winterhold. No I do not want to run to the College to get the dragon.

Um yeah that's it. This game is AWESOME!!! Honestly haven't experienced too many glitches.

For an entertaining experience add Mjoll the Lioness as a follower while you're doing the mainquest. It's hilarious!

BTW Fus Ro Dah does not get old.

[darklight1216]

Things I don't like:

The constant load screens; even the Sims franchise got that figured out.

The fact that I can't access my game menu when I'm in beast mode.

The convoluted weight system. Why does it seem as though some of my foods weigh more than the ingredients that I cooked?

Taking an arrow to the knee.

[codizzle]

Yep.. Pretty much Gave up on this game.. Only got to play about an hour a week tops... Put a couple hours in but the game is too detailed for the little amount of time I could play it..

Absolutely great game though
