[Cthulhu]

Omggg!  I want to get married~!  I'll have kids named Smerellony and Herminkle Wump.

[Svarte Troner]

If I murder my worthless spouse, can I marry again?

And suddenly this thread is being watched by the police.

Maybe, but I know for sure the Windhelm guards are watching me now  .

So yeah, that's a giant I found dead in a cabbage patch potato farm shortly after killing my second dragon.
Ignore his club, slowly floating away...

edit: Er, I think this is a second giant in the same area, because I don't see any cabbages nearby.

Explored my first dwemer ruin(yes there are dwemer ruins!) and I must say those are the most terrifying place possible for an assassin. Anyway I really love those, they really add an otherworldly feeling to the world.

Also I discovered that if you dual wield and press the 2 attack buttons at once it performs a special attack(only took playing for 38 hours to find out :p) which is very neat, like a flurry of slashes . Also my sneak is finally high enough that I can go sneak kill in melee and I love the throat slashing animation for it :p.

The dual-wielding slice and dice attack is pretty much the only way to deal with absurdly tough enemies. If you're not keeping your damage up through perks or through constant upgrading and crafting.....in the time it takes you to execute a few power swings, a troll or a raged out orc with a 2-handed weapon will take you apart.

My general method is to shout to stumble them, then unleash teh flurry. It also has the advantage of stumbling even people who are shield blocking. The only downside is it eats 50% of your stamina....so if you miss you're tapped out.

And as long as we're sharing helpful tips....

Putting your cursor over a companion and holding down interact automatically puts you in command mode.

I've heard from multiple sources that there's a smelter in every city. So does someone know where the one in Solitude is?

[The Scout]

You can dual wield magic. It's kinda obvious.

I've looked high and low for one but I've yet to come across it.

Gah, how the heck do you effectively dualwield weapons using the 'Favorites' menu? I keep dancing around with it, eventually ending up with one spell on one hand and a weapon on the other.

[Gunner-Chan]

The only real hint I have myself is 2 handed weapons are beyond awesome. They just take a little forethought and a willingness to jump to offence and defense at a moments notice. You can also weapon bash with them like you can with a sword and a shield, which is oh so useful against opposing 2 handed users.

If you're going 2 handed though, bring up stamina, a lot. Since sprinting around for dodging positioning, running power attacks with the perk and normal power attacks sucks up a lot. And later on you need every ounce of that stamina to get you through fights with the real badasses like Draugir Deathlords.

I am somewhat regretting creating this character.. But i do not want to do all the intro sequence over again..
And escaping Helglen (or whatever that fort name is..) is also tedious in the long run.. *sigh*

[Gunner-Chan]

It makes an autosave for you right as you get to make your actual character. I THINK it preserves it. So you could load that and have a minimum of gameplay to go through before reaching riverwood.

I'm sure someone is gonna get a quick start mod up as soon as the CS is out though.

[KaelGotDwarves]

There's uhhh, already mods to skip most the intro as well as a simple save right before the character creation to skip the 5 minute cutscene before hand.

Looking for one, haven't found any yet.. well, there are saves but that's not what I am looking for.


edit: Ok, I may have found one.. but it dosn't skip the escape sequence.. *sigh*

Try doing this in combination with the Elemental Fury shout. It's possible - though given Skyrim's terrible input detection, extremely difficult - to repeatedly cancel the first two hits into themselves and flurry continuously until the shout wears off. I was going to make a joke video about variable combos with the aid of a macro but AutoHotKey doesn't want to cooperate with the game.
