Skyrim

[CorvusCorax]

Just started getting an itch to play this game again. I just love that you can continue playing it. And getting it for the PC was the best decision ever.

Just started to play again too. Trying to play as a mage. It's rough when a melee enemy gets in close, and all I'm wearing is these silly robes that increase magicka and regen rate. Lost count how many times I've died.

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Wait, you can actually die on this game? I'm kidding. I've had my "god armour" for so long, I'd probably be over encumbered and die if I got clipped by a mud crab.[/i][/font]

Forgot about those days! At the end of my first play through, I was killing everything with one hit, and I could stand there for about 5 minutes, getting hammered by the enemy, and my health never even moved. Good times!

Definitely a lot harder without the "god armor"!!!!!

I remember first getting this game, I took a vacation day off work to go get it hahaha, I stopped playin for awhile and started up again recently with a new character, and I got my GF to play

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]I've heard the theories of putting them on the altar and slaying everyone in the towns and waiting for Christmas day... but that seems a little far fetched, even for Bethesda.[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]I've got them on that altar and if I don't turn into a dragon on Christmas, I'm going to be extremely PO'd for having hung onto these stupid things.[/i][/font]

Collectibles.....so yea, useless.
Ever play Fallout 3? There are collectible bobble heads in that game. Once you buy a house, you can put them on display. I wonder if there isn't a place somewhere in that massive game world to display the "insects in a jar"?
Ran into one last night in a lighthouse. Just left it sit......

I've played a couple of the Lego games, they're a blast.

Hint on the lighthouse (didn't catch this my first play through):
Read all of the journals you find. If you carry out someone's "eternal wishes", you receive a nice little spell boost.

You're the second person I know that gave up on Fallout too soon. Yes, it's brutally slow at the beginning, but once you leave the vault, it's pretty freakin' awesome. It's a spooky feeling when leaving the vault, the first thing you notice is an extremely damaged Washington Monument.

Never played as a Khajit. I've played Morrowind and Oblivion too.

First play through was a Red Guard, now I'm a High Elf. hmmmm, does that mean he's stoned? No wonder they get extra Magicka.

12-sided die, that brings back the memories!

I certainly hope your Wood Elf specializes in archery. Legolos is a beast with a bow!

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Of course, duh! With my archery level up to 100, all the perks, and archery enchanted armor and bangles -- I can just about one-shot-one-kill anything with my Daedric bow. Even a regular hunting bow deals quite a bit of damage.[/i][/font]

[CorvusCorax]

I have a Lvl 1 Khajit, named him after my friend's cat albeit with a spelling change. I'm going to use him as a sneak thief/assassin, dagger specialist. Probably bow specialist too.

I love doing Bow Shots! Boom head shot! Arrow to the face! lol

Getting bored playing my mage/conjuration specialist, High Elf female. "Beat the game", but haven't finished everything yet. Still have to do Dark Brotherhood, Companions and Dawnguard however.

That's what I love about this game. New character, different path, different experience.

LOL Khajit that's a member of the Companions. A cat that turns into a wolf lol!

You could also be an Argonian. That would be lizard to wolf.

Some of the Daedric quests are demented. Anyone complete the one for Namira?

Who are the sick pups that write this stuff?

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Meridia's Beacon is the one to watch out for.

Yup, that's the one! *shudders*

Never had a problem with Meridia (2 play throughs), but had a nasty bug on another. Can't remember which Daedric it is, but you have to kill a priest and take a skull (I believe). This is the one achievement I missed on the first play through, collecting all the artifacts. I let the priest destroy the skull (d'oh!). On the 2nd play through, after the sequence when you "go back in time", the damn game freezes when it tries to save. That's either a manual save or auto save. Went back to older save and skipped that quest. Guess I'll go back again later and try. Not gonna be happy if it does this again....
