With all the recent talk of video games on NSG there has been one big one left out. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This game is looks wayyyy to fun. Really looking forward to slayin' some dragons!

... not to mention the ultimate hyphy game!

either do quests or get your smithing up high and make them. sometimes you'll randomly find really good stuff too, i found this sword early in the storyline that did 91 damage after i upgraded it

Like others said, smithing to 100... It was a pain in the ass making 1 billion daggers/bracelets, but in the end, 1oo smithing will help. daedric armor/weapons, and if your low on cash make ebony armor and sell it

Thought the ending was going to be a little better as well... I bought Skyrim w/o any previous knowledge of prequals and beat the main quest the first 2-3 days and did no side/guild quests.. Little did i know guild quests make up 90% of the game

I beat the main quest line faster than the thieves guild quest line. I'm still doing the thieves guild actually.

I just did the quest line cause i needed gold... After daedric armor, all other armor is pointless

true if you're playing a heavy armour warrior character, but daedric for a mage pure or stealth character? so many better options

i watched my brother play a little bit. i dont get what the fuss is. looks boring as hell. i guess it's cool if you have a pointless life and 10+ hours to burn, but in terms of a game that you can sit down for 30 minutes - an hour and just hack around, is seems like all that time would be spent running from one place to another and collecting some stupid quest item.

it's all about games that you don't need to ruin your life to play. hop on, hop off, quick action, nothing too involved.

i think i need to slow down, it's sort of getting old. It's fun but feel oddly repetitive. Completed imperial questline, mages guild, companions, almost done with the main and started the thievesguild.

100-sneak, arckery, smithing,
>80-enchanting, heavy armor, one-handed
>50-lockpicking, speech, destruction, restoration,

everything else is between 20 and 50. lvl48

I played this game way too much. One of the best and most immersive games ever made, just running around between birch forests and hot springs areas while being chased by sabretooth tigers... Amazing, but enough is enough.

It's become quite the phenomenon.

Doesn't matter at all. All he does is suggest you join either warring faction.

Haha well that's good.  My brother restarted the game because he said he followed the wrong guy in the beginning.

I dont understand the disadvantage to doing this? Is there another armor you suggest?

I did the daggers thing at like 10 and have been doing fine since, daedric dagger + fast healing +elemental fury + 100 one-handed = elder dragon dead?

i hope you know elemental fury is only good for duel wielding and using it at all even on master makes the game incredibly easy.
