[The Merchant Of Menace]

Still not as bad as Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Where police will shoot you dead because you accidentally nudged a dumpster and annoyed a street thug.

Yup, you don't just need an aggression/bravery/cowardice star (having only that causes the current behaviour) you also need an "apparent danger/imposiveness" stat to run it against. That way your average peasant could still defend themselves against other peasants, mud crabs, and fowl, but would be less likely to attack bigger enemies and run as soon as a troll or dragon showed their face.

So. Got Skyrim about a week ago. I'm still loving it. Especially when the weather, terrain, and situation combine in just the right way. Like fighting a Dragon Priest on a mountain while a blizzard rages.

Wow! Since it was released, I was playing the game in a daily basis for over a hundred hours, got my character pumped as an arrow-one-hand attk -magician and it was an epic experience. Did (to my knowledge) all of the quests and it was lots of fun. Found the main quest a little easier/shorter than I espected. My favorite part was the dragon battles of course, and the assasinations were pretty neat too but too repetitive sadly .

Since Oblivion thus the MQ is just an easy and simple story that they add just because a game is supposed to have one.

One thing I like about Skyrim is that things like Dragon Shouts are (90% of them at least) side quests, but you're still kinda supposed to do them - but you don't know which ones exactly will have a dragon wall.

Unfortunately, it also introduces a new major engine bug. If a mod alters any of the vanilla dialogue text, it causes the sound and lip sync to de-sync resulting in silent dialogue and wooden faces. More importantly, it also stops any attached scripts and triggers from executing.

In order to avoid that, you not only need to disable any mods that alter dialogue, you also need to completely uninstall them as well.

Speaking of mods, can anybody suggest me any good lore-friendly mods? Armors, gameplay mechanics, whatever works.

[bukitodinos]

YES YES COMBAT ON HORSES.

its so annoying to have to get of my horse and whip out my sword/bow!

You have a swordbow? WOAH BRO HOW?

[timferius]

Is that a bow that is also a sword? Or a bow that SHOOTS swords? I much prefer the latter.

Its a sword that shoots bows, unfortunately.

[Sordid]

Laaaaaame.

[bukitodinos]

I MENT SWORD OR BOW

@patch

That sucks. Does that mean I can't use the keep blades and let paarthurnax live mods anymore? Or does that only apply to typo fixes, like what Unofficial Skyrim patch does?

And at horse riding, combat with swords is supposedly very hard, although bows work like a glove. I've yet to update, but I hate having to break my mods, so I'll keep my game from updating until then.
