I could, but I have no problem with waiting a week for the internet to show up, especially since it works without them apparently.

Good to hear though! Thanks.

I spend a lot of time hunting hawks solely because I think they're smug. Is that wrong? Also I take joy in flame cloaking through the forest and incinerating all kynareths cute little woodland creatures. Something oddly soothing about panicking incendiary bunnies...

Beggar in Windhelm took sword to chest.

Overshadowed by guards who took arrow to knee but can still work.

Sooooo~

1. Got Skyrim, finally. (YAY!)
2. Got it for 360, because my laptop has an Intel integrated graphics pile of crap.
3. As expected, looked like ass (or Fallout 3 + snow, if you want to be really cruel), and the text is almost unreadable because it was designed for PC/HD TVs, not my 27in analog.
4. But this is a BethSoft game, which means lulz are to be had. And they were...


So I set up one of my two typical character types for Bethesda games: a Bosmer with a moral compass encrusted with magnets, and a love for killing things. I already like the look of the new stealth system, I can tell that this is the beginning of a wonderful relationship. I end up taking the quest to find that Redguard's sword in the conveniently located bandit camp/cave (WHICH DIDN'T HAVE A DOOR!!!1!).


 As I'm going up the path, I notice a Flame mage and Ice mage having a spirited discussion over the relative merits of their schools of destruction whilst standing on the edge of a cliff. The Ice mage introduced a rather nonstandard form of reasoned argument, and the Flame mage gave up in disgust, at which point he decided to take a nap right where he had been standing. As this happens, the Ice mage turns to me, shouting something about "So you think you have a chance agai-". That dash was where he was dumbstruck by the sheer beauty and flow of my reasoned response, typical of me in such situations. I rushed forward to catch him as he stumbled over the edge of the cliff, but ended up only grasping a bloodied arrow, which had somehow appeared in his throat. Oh well, I never turn down free gifts. "Thanks, buddy," I yelled, as he drifted lazily downstream. Damn mages, they never seem to do any work.

There's nothing convenient about any of the bandit camps (except Vindheim). They are all on the other side of mammoth breeding camps and highwayman ambushes.

So this isn't quite the right place for it, but I figured it'd be better then making a new topic solely for it. I'm about a decade behind the times and just got a computer that can run oblivion (maybe).

However it'll be a bit before I can get some ethernet cables to hook it up to the internet and as such patch it. How bad is oblivion unpatched? Unplayable, or will there just be tons of weird stuff happening? Or will it even be fairly stable?

I found it unplayable even after being patched. I still don't understand the high review scores for it.

Gah....
What should I do.....
I just climbed to the top of White River Watch, killed Ironhand for his Gauntlets and started climbing back down looting everything that wasn't nailed down for smelting when I got back to Whiterun, only to find that the first room to this Bandit Cave contains 3 Hired Thugs, it looks like two of them are chatting while the third had sat down where the Blind Bandit once sat and having a quick meal just as I arrive. They haven't seen me yet, should I dump everything I am carrying (700+/300) into a cupboard or make a run for it over the cliff edge and hope I stay alive long enough to get back to the Hold safely...

FAKEEDIT:: I tried fighting them, but dumped everything just onto the ground, one of the thugs comes up to me and starts talking to me and forces me into a "Yes" or "No" question, meanwhile the other two have drawn their weapons and started to attack me. I also noticed that one picked up the Fireball staff that I looted of Ironhand!!!! FUCK!!!, so yeah still trying to decide on the best course cause that magic owned me...

... I can use the carriage to go to other cities?  Other then the first, I've since walked to 1 and found another by quest.

And yea, bought the dog... too much barking.  Found an old crazy blind lady.  My dog ate her for some reason, wasn't a threat I figured, but whatever. Good dog, she had a flawless on her.

@Neyvn: Potion and spell arsenal.  Use em.  Kite with flame, stun with shout, enhance attacks with damage potions, and open fight with a bow sneak attack.

You do know what White River Watch is right...

[Zangi]

Its a cave, you can draw them into a more open area where you can backpedal around..  Its just harder in some places then others...


Also, epic, horses came to my aid.... to hoof the dragon.

465/535 is my carry weight + normal-ish stuff at this moment...

I lost the restful sleep thing by becoming a werewolf. I didn't notice the game had such a feature. What's the benefit of sleeping?

Its a learning buff for skills.

[scriver]

A very short learning rate buff.

Goes to show that there's a bias in both vampirism and lycanthropy, with the bias leaning heavily on the wolves. Why didn't they just remove most of the vampiric debuffs to make it playable? It seems unfair that werewolves get a resist disease 100% with virtually no consequences.

Yeah, it's not even like it was in Boodmoon, where you'd auto-transform every night.
