Skyrim

[BmoreRav]

I've got it on PS3 and have not been experiencing the framerate issues. But it does make my system crash more than any game I've ever played which puts me off playing it!

I bought my first house. It's a pretty dingy little place right now, but I can stash my stuff there and that is a big help. I'm wondering whether or not I should buy a horse. Apparantly going to the Greybeards is a long trip, but horses are also alot of money (I have around 6,000 gold) and my companion can't ride them. Plus, I'm a werewolf so I can travel long distances pretty quickly myself.

I haven't bought a horse yet and I'm in the mid-30s. They're a luxury item, you can get anywhere you need to go by running or fast-travelling, though you sacrifice a little time.

I've only been on a horse once and that was for a quest. I don't see the need in them! I've had a lot of fun on foot randomly coming across things on my way to a waypoint on my map.

If you just want a normal horse talk to the Riften Stable guy, he'll ask you to brawl, beat him and he lets you take his horses.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that when I'm in the area. Right now I'm heading to Iverstead...

Do you know whether or those horses will run away after I dismount them?

[Purple Punishment]

decided on proceeding with the regular quest. i would say where im at but i dont want to spoil the story for anyone

[CorvusCorax]

So I've had Dark Brotherhood assassins after me (for I dunno what reason) and someone sent hired thugs because I stole something lol! Must've been the mage in Whiterun since I acquired come common soul gems without his permission...

I wonder what happens if I put them back...

[darklight1216]

Man, those Thalmor Justiciars are obnoxious. They may have to die the next time we meet.

I ended up re-loading the game (I didn't want horse theft on my record) and as we were talking they questioned me about worshipping Talos. They attacked me so I killed them. [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img]

I got some nice Elven armor and weapons out of it, but there doesn't seem to be a vendor in Ivarstead.

Oh it's cool to have it on your record. You get to have thugs come after you lol!

[JonM229]

There's no real morality system in the game like in Fallout. There are consequences for your actions, however.

[Purple Punishment]

just took a ride on the back of Odahving

[BloodRaven]

So I had enough of the Talos worshipper in Whiterun, always screaming about "WE ARE ALL MAAAAGGOTS!" etc so I sniped an arrow into his face.

I thought the city guards would come after me.

Speaking of which. I wonder if it's possible to wipe out all of the guards or if they would respawn. In fact, could someone wipe out an entire city/village?

Nothing, nobody saw it. Skyrim was peaceful again.

Also rode my horse up to the throat of the world on my horse, it didn't take long.

Do followers rat you out?

[BloodRaven]

Not the Companions archer Aela, I read that she doesn't care who you kill so she's been my follower for most of the game. Once I had Vilkas following and he turned on me when I killed some random lizard guy.

[berad]

I don't want to join the Stormcloaks or the Empire, they're both annoying

[JonM229]

I hate the Imperials because they tried to kill me in the beginning and because the Thalmor are a-holes. But the Stormcloaks are a bunch of racists, so I don't like them very much either.

[Purple Punishment]

then join the Forsworn. They remind me of homeless people on Skyrim. They dont have their own town and they never have money when you kill them

[darklight1216]

I made it up to High Hrothgar or whatever it's called, but I didn't look at every single emblem (I think I got a little distracted by a flying reptile which wanted to roast me). Now I dont' have Voice of the Sky, but I don't feel like going back to search for every emblem. *sigh*

I found a pretty cool exploit. If you stand near the staircase at High Hrothgar , your follower can be knocked down by the wind and you can just stand there and heal him until you level up your Healing. Farendel just stayed on his knees until I moved backwards.

For such a savage race of cannibals they're always so clean shaven.

Shanked that dude in prison and enjoy slaughtering them too much. I'll join the Legion eventually... reluctantly.

Can you actually join them? I did save that guy from prison, just didn't expect to ever see him again.

[BloodRaven]

I still haven't finished that storyline, I refuse to go to prison or get a bounty put on my head.

That's how I felt too. Every time I got near the south west part of the map, the guards came out of nowhere trying to arrest me. Really started getting tired of that so I finally let them arrest me.

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.
