Windhelm. You should hear rumours of someone looking for The Dark Brotherhood.

I got a couple of power words now but is says I need a dragon soul to use them. I assume I need to do the main quest (blergh ) to get dragons?
And how do I join the Assassins guild or whatever it is called here? I already killed a civvie.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm very unimpressed with this game. It feels like oblivion with a much uglier UI and very stupid design choices (such as the lack of Herbalism, creating magic, etc). I'd still rather play Morrowind with mods.

But godddd, that UI, what the hell were they thinking porting an obviously-made-for-console menu system to the PC? I really like having to look at key commands of what I should be able to use my MOUSE for. Ugh. Atleast with DF it makes sense as there's not real mouse support.

So, how viable is a pure mage build?

Rather useless considering if you spam the attack button you can get past most anything. If fighting human(oid)s make sure to parry, basically.

Regretfully, not much. I played till around level 15 as a mage, and you get through every fight by the skin of your teeth, if you save often. When you run out of magicka, you're screwed. One hit, blam, most of your HP gone.

Of course, if you use bugs like I did to survive, you should survive. ie,

using the terrain against them. Causing the pathfinding to go around a ridge of rocks that are 1-meter wide, or negating the pathfinding, causing it to run. Obviously, you're screwed if you're in close quarters/inside.

Also,

Epic. Epic. Epic. Epic.

Meanwhile, I've just fought my first

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Blades-randomized dragon-hunt mission.

Spoiler: Dragon Hunt Screenshots - Dragon falling from mountain + Crashing into ground! Epic! (click to show/hide)

I started by going to the location and fighting from tower-top.








Then something just over the ridge of the mountains caught the Dragon's attention, and it fucked off >_<. Annoying as hell.



So, I climbed.



And it came back.



So, enduring Dragon-flame, and being unable to move (Because I was near the top of the mountain, on a very tiny, steep ledge), I had to fight it to the death!



And oh, how it fell!







The other blade-member hunters had beaten it to a pulp by the time I had got there...





(This is the trail's width it left - with me standing in the middle)



With the dragon defeated...



We headed home, victorious.

Does anybody have a suggestion for running Skyrim smoothly with a 1 GB graphics card? Particles (lights and fire in particular) lag the hell out of me.
I meet all minimum requirements, yet I still lag like crazy.

UI has /never/ been good on a Bethesda game. Ever. Expecting otherwise with 4 previous games proving it is silly. Modders will fix it, I don't know anyone who didn't use a PC UI mod on Oblivion.

[Neyvn]

GOD DAMN IT!!!
I am currently Purchasing it now...

[Raddish]

I didn't use a UI mod on Oblivion so now you know someone.  I did occasionally use some mods but none made to improve the UI.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dragon souls are a form of currency used to unlock the mastery of words (IE being able to use that shout, or a more powerful version of it later) that you only obtain by killing dragons, so, yes, you would have to progress far enough in the storyline to start the dragons before you could obtain dragon souls.

[Tilla]

I think the thing irritating me most right now (I'm fairly used to the UI at this point) is walk speed. Howso? When you're supposed to follow people for a quest, the default walk speed (shift-WASD normally) is too slow, but the run speed is too fast. You are never able to walk at the same speed as the NPC. Ever.

[Raddish]

Thats true of practically every First Person Perspective game ever though and it's usually because if they run too fast then heavily burdened characters cant keep up.

You know, if you search for FUS in google images, the first thing you get is penis.

COICIDENCE?
