Spoiler: Autogenerated landscape or otherwise, Bethsoft's penchant for LOD fuckups remains (click to show/hide)

Has anybody tried dual weilding sheilds yet? Or are they off-hand only like torches.

Shields aren't weapons, they're armour. They can't be equipped in the main hand.

[Mephisto]

Dragon fights make me feel awesome. Giant fights, not so much.

I know people have been talking about fighting two dragons at once. While I haven't quite done that (though I bet I could - they seem to be on the easier side of "bad things I should stab"), I did fight two random dragons within the span of 5-10 minutes.

Also, bug?

Spoiler: Narzulbur quest for the MacGuffin (click to show/hide)

So I got a quest from the aforementioned orc outpost in an attempt to become accepted in their group. The quest was to go get the Forgemaster's Fingers from a dungeon. I do so (and, funnily enough, pick up another set of bracers from the same chest - better armor and a better version of the MacGuffin's enchantment) and return to the outpost. I speak to the chief and, mid-sentence, he stops and they all attack. I get a message about how I stole something. Seeing as I was in a conversation at the time, I don't think that's possible. I did notice that this happened right about the time the bracers left my inventory, though.

I know it wasn't from their mining camp a short walk away. I made a point to not steal anything from it, only taking what showed up as white.

Such a puny outpost. All of four people in the whole thing. Now it's just full of bodies.

[Cthulhu]

So how far in do random dragons show up?  I'm planning on playing the main quest up to that point and then doing my own thing until I'm ready.

For those who've completed the game, do the random dragons keep showing up or do tehy disappear like the Oblivion gates?

[SP2]

After you kill your first dragon, and they keep showing up.

[forsaken1111]

I have fought three random dragons in the courtyard of the mage college.

They don't go away or stop like in oblivion.

[Dakorma]

For those of you who don't know, in your favorites menu if you press 1-0 on the number line you'll hotkey the item you are highlighting to that key.


Denzi just pointed this out to me. It has suddenly making me want to go back to playing my pure mage.

Someone else mentioned it several pages ago but its worth repeating. This makes the game playable.

Yeah, I almost always see them there or at the first village. Hell, the entirety of the first village is depopulated now because of the endless dragon attacks. At least the mages always kill their dragons.

Yeah they keep coming, although once you've finished the game your character should be good enough to slaughter them, unless its a frost dragon or something.

Spoiler as to why its so easy:

This is mainly because you get the dragonrend shout, which whilst it doesnt hurt the dragon it does tip the odds in your favour

[SP2]

I decided to go postal on Falkreath. I sat on a rock and killed all the non-essential NPCs with just a bow and some arrows.

I prefer to call Odahviing, Dragon vs. Dragon is amazing to watch especially when they circle each other.

Wing of fate?

I dont know why I havent done this yet, sounds awesome I'll give it a try next time I play. I've used call of valour against them and thats pretty cool.

 The guy you summon is pretty damn powerful and seems to use a number of shouts, if you use dragonrend to keep the dragon down he'll make quick work of it.

[Rhodan]

My level 25 Argonian stealthy guy is seriously underpowered combat wise.   I lockpicked, stole and pickpocketed every single lock, gem and coin in Whiterun and ended up gaining way too many levels purely on pickpocketing, sneaking and lockpicking.
Also smithing, because the best way to get rid of stolen gems if crafting them into jewellery.
On the other hand, he is seriously overpowered stealth-wise and can take on almost any enemy with careful planning and a cozy place to hide.

Also, does anyone know when/how you can forge the ledgers you find in shops?

[umiman]

Did anyone else get married yet?

I grabbed Aela, but man... this marriage totally sucks.

Sounds like you need to go have a chat with the folks in Riften.

When I left and came back it looked like the place exploded.  Potions of everything everywhere.  There was a minor healing potion stuck in the rafters around the sides of the ceiling.  Only places that didn't contain potions were the places I had put them all.

Oblivion taught me my lesson about spending inordinate amounts of time arranging items. The collision detection boxes in this don't seem improved, at all. In fact I think some stuff like Chest Armor has a box several times larger than itself. Meaning when you're moving items around it, they'll brush the box and send the armor flying like it was shot out of a cannon.
