Hehehehe. I'm sure they were dispatched in short order.
Nope, there was a Pile up as the First cart hit the gate which didn't open cause it wasn't part of the script and the player cart then went straight into and then under the first, the mages then lit everyone on fire. I started again, and this time an Elk ran between the Player cart and Hadanvar behind us (spelling of name) moments later another mage popped out and attacked him leaving him behind, the plot decided to skip a few lines, Tullious decided to get off his horse at the gate instead of going in to talk to that Elves and then the Carts decided that through the buildings was the way down. This we once again piled up...

Currently having a slight problem where the actors ain't doing their cues. Like at first it was the second dragon roar after the stormcloak got his head cut off, the second was the crys of anger about the head cutting...

I picked up which one was the one that stuffed up the Intro at first, not sure about this one though...

Wow, umm... talk about a broken intro.

Try using some Disable console commands, disabling anything who gets in your way. Hopefully no-one essential to the intro needs to be disabled.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Yeah intro is compleatly broken. If anyone is thinking about using the More NPCs in the Wild mod. Do not start a new game with it. Corrupts your game files, currently verifying cache to see if that fixes it.

My friend tried to start the game for 3 times but in all of them something happened and he couldn't start. He got angry with the game gave up. I feel bad for recommending him this game :D

If its PC and on Steam have him verify the files, Right click Game -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity.
It could be that he didn't download it properly...

Looks like someone found a way to let you block with dual-wielding. That's pretty cool.

If you're in the CK, in the top menu bar go to Gameplay --> Animations, which will open a new window.
This window seems to control all kinds of ''actions'' or ''animation events'' or something like that, where you have to collapse the Actors\Character...\ tree to see the player/NPC animations. There I pointed DualWieldPowerAttack found under ActionDualAttack to send a ''blockStart'' event instead of whatever event it sends by default, and I think some animation under ActionDualPowerAttack points to a ''blockStop'' event. Not 100% sure on the details, but you can check it yourself by opening the CK

Neat. I've got a Mage-ish character with Midas Magic installed, but have to revisit a dual wielding sneaky type to try that out when they don't take away my beloved dual wield power attack.

Speaking of Midas Magic, anyone else tried it yet? Its more or less a port by the same guy who did it in Oblivion, but it adds such a nice variety of spells to the game. Sure missed my portable chest; now I have the ability to summon a door to a (pocket dimension?) house! As well as summon a baby dragon, and use a Jedi force push while healing some Draugr to death.

Quick question to anyone: With the CK out, I'll bet that a lot of mods are going to come out soon. Thing is, when I start a character I don't want to add any new mods after I start lest something breaks or I miss out some early-game new-mod stuff. So how long should I wait before trying Skyrim again?

I'm pretty sure that I'll decide for myself, but I might as well get the opinion of everyone else.

Anywhere from a week to a month before the heavy duty mods start churning out... if not longer. People are still experimenting with whats possible in the "new" CK, and there won't be any real polished mods for a while.

But when that time comes, it will rain sweetrolls from the sky.

Edit: Just got an idea for a new spell.

It wouldn't be too hard to make a spell that rains X from the sky...

Don't. People have already done sweetroll spells to death.

Make a sweetroll golem.

So do daggers get a major crit and insta kill bonus or are they largely for show? Because I have noticed it quite a lot easier to get insta kills with a dagger but they have really weak damage normally. For that matter, if I'm playing a stealth character should I have any followers. I picked up Sven in literally the first 10 minutes of the game, expecting him to die as fast if not faster. Turns out he made it through the dragon fight and is going to make it to the bards college.

Daggers can be crazy deadly. They get a sneak perk that makes them do x15 damage for a sneak attack, which can be boosted to x30 with the Dark Brotherhood gloves.

 Daggers are indeed pretty much around for insane sneak attacks. Their increased attack speed doesn't really make up for the lower damage.

 Followers are also an odd thing to have depending on your playstyle. Sword and Boarders and magic users can probably use them the best, but sneaky and ranged guys suffer from their... quirks. Or just park them outside a dungeon and have them there to carry whatever loot you find.
