Man, marriage is seriously lame. I was expecting to be able to sire children, and start up a small farm, maybe grow some wheat and gourds. My children can work in the fields while I go out hunting dragons. One child will always be with me, to be trained into a battle-scarred warrior from birth. Me and my wife would spend many nights together, creating an army of babies. I will then eventually rule all of Skyrim! Muwahahaha...

No, seriously though, marriage is lame. Real big flop Bethesda, real big fookin' flop.

[Trapezohedron]

FUS RO DAH!!!

Really, that shout is just great. I mean, it was fun seeing a Giant getting pushed away by a fully charged Unrelenting Force shout.

Also, try using Firebolt on dragon corpses. Try it.

Give modders some time and they'll incorporate RTS elements into having babies with your marriage partner.

You were looking for some medieval fantasy sims version. Or Fable 2/3.

Has anyone else visited Azuras shrine yet? It's seriously fuckoff huge. Huuugge. I was honestly pretty impressed that I could make her out perfectly from the base of the mountain.

Of course I think I'm gonna get a certain star now.

Oh, that quest was great.

[DarkerDark]

I love the unrelenting force shout!

In one quest, I ended up fighting my way up to the top of a tower where a big group of necromancers were performing some ritual. I heard some voice cry out, "Kill him! Don't let him interrupt the ritual!". I immediately sprint past the guards and let out a "FUS RO DAH!". That single shout blew all the  necromancers off the tower and I sat there laughing my ass off as they were cartwheeling through the air for a good 10 seconds before hitting the ground some 100 feet below.

Seriously, easiest boss fight ever. Hilarious too.

I haven't encountered any obvious delivery quests yet

There's one in Morath where you literally deliver a letter to Whiterun.

Or the one of the very first quests: the feud with Sven and Faendal. Sven gives you a letter.

[Imofexios]

Haha yesterday i saw Faendal dead in front of Sven's house

[Silent_Thunder]

Oh dear god. Every TES game I hope this one thing doesn't return. IT ALWAYS COMES BACK!

In other news Lydia got hit by a giant, and I think she somehow got stuck in the skybox or something. Poor girl hasn't come down yet.

[KaelGotDwarves]

Faendal allows you to become a faceshooting archery master within like minutes of starting a new game, he's a bro.

Sven's a loser.

Just wait until you read the third volume....

*shudders*

But man, I love reading the books on this game! So clear and crisp, it's much easier than on Oblivion.

Also note: My companion Orc Beserker guy (Grub-something?) took on a giant by himself, easily. When I logged off, he was killing a dragon.

ALONE. Also note: He has two staffs (WTF?) and kills everything with them, along with his huge artifact two-handed magical axe "Aegisbane" or something. SO BADASS!

[Microcline]

I just found out that there's no cap on spell cost reduction (although I don't think that going over 100% will cause it to refund magicka).  I like the fact that they managed to remove most of the versatility of enhantment without making it any less broken.

I think i know what exactly makes Skyrim a good or even great game.
Sure, the scripting blows, npc's AI is Homer Simpson caliber, UI is almost the worst i ever seen, level scaling world is terrible but...

Theres something in the woods that makes me feel like i would be playing P'n'P rpg.
Technialy the game is good but far from what media claims ("RPG of decade" - rubbish). but it leaves much for your imagination, or should i say - roleplaying. A huge part of this is the graphics and eviroment. Just look at th mountains picks with fog crawlng on their edges. OR the aurora in the night. Jesus, this alone makes you stand in place just freaking watching the show. Like a screensaver or something. Seriously, i dont rememeber a game THIS beautifull that it made me stop playing and just look around. So far my jaws were broken several times by the landscape but this sent me directly to the hospital


the dungeons, the woods, animals, secret stashes, abbandom houses in the middle of nowhere with lore and story, the ways you can play the game...

Seriously.
I make the room dark, i put my headphones, i start the game and... i am there. Sometimes you really can forget for a brief moment that you are playing a GAME.


I sharpened my two swords and choped some wood for the Riverside. Then i gone for hunting. Ive seen a deer so i crawled in the bushes to get to the right position to have a clean shot from my hunting bow looted from some bandit. I aimed carefully and suddenly! A wolf jumped out of nowhere and attacked my deer. Headshot the deer then i grab my swords and sliced the wolf. Both skin and pelt will give me lots of lether. On my way home i bumped a nice iron ore, saved some Khajit mage from beign eaten by pit wolfs, foraged loads of herbs and found a secret Nirn Root (!!!) just by the Riverside, glowing in the dark with creepy whispers around it.
Lether became a lether armor better the the iron one ive looted from that imperial scum.

Dam what a nice Skyrim day that was!


btw:
the quest magic collage when you are beint sent after some staff that the quest giver sold and wants it back. theres a puzzle with that 4 turnable pillars, with eagle, whale and snake.
how many of you figured out the right combination by themself? that surw was a tricky riddle

[nenjin]

Morrowind's system of enchanting was a little goofy, although classic. Having items cast the actual spell or have proc on strike or passive effects....made for a lot of clutter and repetition.

Skyrim  is on the other end of the extreme though. You can't even put all the fortify enchants on one kind of item, only a few kinds like armor. Part of the fun of TES is breaking the system and how you break the system. While Skyrim is great and all, it's made the ways you break the system a little less fun and less organic. It's telling when their hardcoded shouts are more interesting and useful than anything the players can produce (except stuff that's composed of raw numbers.) The variety and styles of equipment is really nice, but I think it's there to mask how shallow the system actually is. Or at least make up for it.
