TES V: Skyrim *'*'BEARDS CONFIRMED'*'*

I did all of the companion quests and now am doing the Brotherhood Quests
being an archer now at level 20 is so much easier with stealth
I can do critical hits without them seeing me and can take down the toughest of people with a few critical hits
Bears are brutal though :c
 
I've been through all the Companion quests, I married Vilkar, I did all the Thieves Guild quests, and am almost done with the Dark Brohood quests. The Thieves Guild especially was surprising--the plot was actually rather surprisingly complex!

Also the armor you get at the end of the Thieves Guild line of quests is AWESOME.
 
I just finished the Dark Brotherhood main quest and am doing the other little side quests that you get after

after doing all of these Brotherhood quest I cant even enter Soltaire without paying like 5000 gold x:

My archery skills are becoming bombastic with these sneak skill
even when i hit someone with an arrow sneaking they still dont notice me so I am able to get like 3-5 critical hit shots if necessary but it usually only takes one

I still havent explored all of the cities thoroughly for quests. The only real city I explored was Whiterun and maybe a little bit of Windhelm. I need to chip away at these cities x:

I also encountered my first glitch that ruins the butcher quest in Windhelm and its so frustrating because I found out who the butcher was before I even started the quest and I just want the option to tell a guard that this guy is the murderer. :c

I also dont know how to use dragon souls to obtain abilities because I cant use these dragon attacks even though I found them

dude

i am the master of sneakiness

i managed to do *EVERY* quest in the plotline without being caught or fined. every. one. even that one that they had you do in broad daylight, in front of all those spectators.

except that one quest where you kill the impersonator & you have no choice, you HAVE to be caught by Maro. But I made it through the room & hall and didn't get a fine until Maro found me :x
ALSO I managed to escape without getting a single additional fine or assault charge or any of that

I am also a money making machine, it is ridiculous

But mostly I am just trying to get a handle on my quest journal and knock out some quests before getting back on the main storyline, now that I'm the leader of the Brohood, Thieves Guild, and Companions :)
 
how did you not get caught x:
that broad daylight one I tried but got caught
like I would kill them and no one would see me but they still knew it was me so I would leave and the guards would come and be like "What the hell?"

You unlock them in the shout tab found under magic. There they are set to the shout key which allows you to harness there awesome powers
also the shouts are there they are just grayed out. Ive killed like a bunch of dragons and I cant unlock them maybe i am doing something wrong x:
do I have to do something in the main story?

I'm currently doing the Thieves Guild with a brand new character, gonna do the Dark Brotherhood once I finish it.
I've made this character an Argonian who dual wields 2 daggers, it's pretty cool to play around with because my first character was an archery only character.


@Bacon:

There should simply be a key you have to press to unlock the shouts, you should be able to see which key by selecting one of the grayed out shouts.

it's the [r] key. highlight a shout and press the [r] key and you spend a dragon soul on the thing.
 
I think one of my companions died fighting a dragon or giant, she can be go by a2c94.resurrect if you lose her. That blonde chick.
 
So I have skyrim and uh... you can ride bugs. Forget horses, you can ride bugs. Those little bugs like torchbugs and luna moths that you can harvest for alchemical ingredients? If you manage to jump on top of one and stay on top of it it will keep flying with you on top of it. I only managed to stay on one for a couple seconds, and I can't imagine they will take you anywhere, but why would you need to go anywhere when you can ride a bug?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I know bethesda is known for their bugs, but so far it seems like Skyrim has some of the most awesome bugs, especially if you count the fact that chickens could report crimes (before release, though) (Heh also this bug is a bug about bugged bugs bugging out)
 
Oh, can chickens still? Interesting. I've actually only commited one crime near a chicken. I yelled at a chicken. Not only did yelling at a chicken get me a bounty, the guards in the city wanted to kill me for it.

If you try to hurt a chicken people will start yelling: HEY THAT'S AN EXPENSIVE ANIMAL!!!
I think that's why they consider it a crime, you're hurting their food supply :P
 
I just beat the main storyline.

So disappointed!
At the end of Oblivion--and I mean the part where it FEELS like you're at the end of the game--the end takes, like, hours. You have to destroy Mankar Camoran after jumping through a hundred hoops to get to his afterlife magical whatsit realm. Then you have to amass a humongous army of people to drive into the master Oblivion gate, and run through the Oblivion world, to close the gate. But then all the Dremora assholes flood out and ransack the main city. And then you have to escort Martin through a massive clusterfuck of demons and daedra and asslicks. THEN, you run him to the middle and there's a big giant battle and Martin farts himself into a dragon and destroys a 10-story-tall Mehrunes Dagon, then explodes into a fucking statue.

In this game, it didn't feel like I was at the end until I realized that the portal to Sovngarde was open. And even then it seemed to me like this was just another step in the quest, until I looked over in the banquet hall and the 3 legendary heroes were all there barking at me. They ran outside and I was like "wait no I haven't explored yet :(". So then we run out and fight Alduin and it's easy as fuck. The ground were we fought him wasn't even that impressive or anything, it was just the grounds just off the whalebone bridge. So like I shoot him with 10 arrows and hit him twice with a sword, didn't get a killing animation, and then he explodes into a mass of oily shit and the sun comes out.
Then the heroes are like "yay" and the guard guy who I fought and beat easily goes "k sendin ya back now, PEACE NIGGA" [how very inappropriate, to a redguard].

When I get back, the big white dragon has very little to say to me, and Delphine wants me to kill him for some reason but fuck that, why would I kill the only sane dragon, but I can't deny the mission or clear it off my journal by telling her she's a dicktool, and the Greybeards are just like "WELP we think you're an asshole and I hope you enjoy all these weapons we've given you".

So, jilted, and kind of angry that I am not getting just massive dicksucking for saving the world, I go back to my house in Whiterun, and my husband Vilkas and my housecarl Lydia have NOTHING to say about it. One of the retard guards in Dragonskeep goes "Yay you beat the dragon, thx bro". But then the next one goes "why the hell would you let a dragon go after catching it you faggot??" and I can't even bitchslap him for such insolence without getting fined/jailed.

So now I have to settle things between either Ulfric or Tullius and I don't really agree with/like either side, so I'm just like, "who cares :/".

I mean, FUCK. I'm the dragonborn. I'm supposed to be queen. That's how. It. Goes. Dragonborns are kings--sons/daughters of Talos and all that. Fuck. And I would rule a million times better than these fucktard layabouts.


I had WAY more of a thrill doing the Thieves' Guild plotline.

SO disappointed :(

But, that said, ... Still a very fun game. Just wish they'd spent more effort on the end of the main plotline D:

Oh well, beating this means I get back to working on the minecraft server anyway :D

I completely agree, the main quest (and other questlines as well) feel very "rushed
On a side note, I just beat the thieves guild, I LOVE the armor and the quests themselves were pretty well thought out.
 
They might feel a little bit rushed but they still are pretty long imo. I'm already lvl 56 and I still have to start the mages guild (and finish the thieves guild. (I dont want to return a certain something, lol).
 
Second playthoughs are basically slow, for me, because first playthough, just wanted to get used to the game/storyline, then take off god mode. :p

Man, with the regenerating health, it feels like I'm playing on god mode. It's absolutely ridiculous that Bethesda thought it was a good idea to include that. I feel like I'm playing Call of Duty, not an Elder Scrolls game. I like the new map though, a lot better than the one from Oblivion.

For anyone playing this on PS3, have you run into any lag problems caused by the save file bug yet? I just got my save file past 8100KB and haven't run into any problems. :huh:
