I know that the new Sprint bit is almost identical to a mod from NV, from the way your vision distorts to the breathing sound effects.
Waaait. You can sprint now? Seriously, why doesn't game tell me useful things like how to sprint at the loading screen, instead of talking about Agronian skins.

It was written all over the place pre-release. And it's not much, unless you've got lots of stamina and don't have a hoars.

Yup, hold ALT. I think there's a two-handed perk that allows you to do a power attack while sprinting, too.

Two and one-handed attacks have a sprinting power attack perk.  It automatically crits too.  With a two-handed you can really bonk people with it.

Also, I just got

It's okay, and the quest was fun.  Now I'm trying to get Krosis.  Last time I got it okay but when I went to go back home the game crashed so I have to kill him again.

I never really care about pre-release. Sometimes I really look forward to a game (Terraria) but usually I just forget about it until I stumble upon it here on the internet.

The game tells you about sprinting during the tutorial as well.

Want to guess how I found out? :P


I'm thinking one of the leaders is a Breton with all these idealistic visions of the guild as an order of gallant warriors who protect the weak and fight wrongdoers, and the other leader is an amoral Orc who just wants to get paid.

Playing to the stereotypes, eh?

You know what I wish you could do... Take over "landmarks" and make them your base. That Tower/Keep to the west of Windrun, filled with Mages and other such things. Looks broken down and shit but there is an Alchemist Lab and Enchanting table surrounded by Cabinets and such. Perfect little get away spot too. Hidden in the snowy peaks...
that would be actualy possible if not for that damn respawn system >.<

I don't think I paid a lot of attention during the tutorial as I just discovered you could actually choose who to follow while watching a Yogscast YouTube video. And I apparently missed more than just that.

Which is, of course, infinitely better than the alternative.

Still, I agree, you should be able to claim and live in dungeons.

I discovered that from the quest text displayed at the top. Even though the imperial looked like he was running off to battle, so I'm not entirely certain how that was supposed to work.

Also, What happens to all the bodies in Helgen, I mean, you can go back straight after because there's 4 salt in a barrel on the top floor of the inn and I'll be fucked if i miss that, and the place is abandoned.

The dragon was hungry?  I mean after what I understand happened to the dude I would be kinda hungry too.

The kid escaped though obviously, since they are immortal, probably crawled under that one gate and ran off to get raised by wolves or saber cats or something.  I would too, get him to trust you, then once the brat turns 18 he becomes edible.

Oh god I don't know if you were joking but damn if that isn't an accurate description of my playstyle.

Anyway, just wait a few days and it should repopulate with bandits. Then you can make all the corpses you want! There's also a couple of charred corpses by the executioner's block. One is presumably the headsman. The other is, I guess, the only other person to perish in the dragon attack.
