The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[grillis]

There are already 4 dragon skeletons in winterhold alone.. one keeps spawning in the hallway and sporadically ragdolls everywhere

[deadly_habit]

as much as i love this game the witcher series still kills it replaying it again
the elder scrolls have gone a long way off from when i played arena and daggerfall as a kid

[JBoy]

Anyone played ultima underworld? its the game that influenced the elder scrolls series.

Just got into the thieves guild and ive got a quest to burn down some beehives and raid a locked safe, this game is going to be a life sapper for sure!

Try not to botch that mission by burning more than 3 bee hives.

I've completed the Thieves Guild main story line. Working through the Dark Brotherhood now. Level 27 i think, maybe 26.

The first time i did it a dragon burnt the rest of the beehives so i had to restart it. Just got to the hiding in the coffin bit for the dark brotherhood.

What is this everyone talking about seeing dragons and slaying dragons. Meanwhile I'm level 27 and haven't even ran into one other then the one at the start.

i'm only level 22 and i've fought 4 already...

The skeleton of one of the first dragons I defeated (also in Winterhold) has decided, over the past real life game week, to move itself randomly every time I enter/load the town. From sitting just outside the town border right in the middle of the main path where it was defeated, to flopping messily over the buildings right in the centre of town, to sitting at the bottom of the cliff face under the College and then, finally, cramming itself right into the beginning archway of the College ramp itself, blocking my companions. I'm considering returning its bones and scales so it can hopefully rest in peace.

Possible SPOILERS to follow...

Has anybody else encountered the mask wearing 'dragon priests' that hide near word walls yet? After a particularly brutal dragon fight last night, I was maybe 3 metres from unlocking the shout it was protecting and all of a sudden I got jumped by a ridiculously powerful dude named "krosis" using a staff... Each fireball he threw took about 1/5th of my health, and anything I conjured he would turn against me somehow. Certainly the toughest fight I've had so far, fair warning to everyone to watch out for coffins near word walls, as there are apparently 6/7 unique versions of these guys around.

yeah, and if you get each of the dragon priest's mask, you get to use them to unlock another special one

AMAZING game. It's kind of distracting me from music and shit. There's just so much to do, like cot damn. :'|

[ambinate]

i'm somewhere around 45 hours in and still feel like i haven't done a damn thing. i think i'm gonna try and grind out the rest of the main quest this week. for the record, i'm level 25 and have encountered around 10 or 15 dragons in the wild...it feels like more of them show up as you get further into the main questline, but i have no clue if that's true.

[flyingointment]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if you HAVE to join either the Stormcloaks or the Empire? I kind of wanna fuck them both ova. lawl

HUGE SPOILER ALERT

I did read somewhere that like you kill da emperor as part of the Dark Brotherhood quests but I dunno how true that is. So I'm guessing Ulfric can be killed, too.

yeah you sort of have to join either one to do the quest line where you kill the other ones

spoilers: and yeah, you kill the emperor for a dark brotherhood contract. and you can kill ulfric if you side with the empire (but why would you want to do that)

Ah, I meant just like going up to them and killing them (without joining either side) and hightailing it out of the area(s) to see what would/could happen, but word. lawl

I can't say I give much of a fuck about their whole conflict but I suppose if I HAD to choose a side it would make more sense to go with the Stormcloaks since the Empire basically tried to have you executed for no reason. That and the fact that Ulfric actually challenged that king he killed to a duel + beat him instead of "murdering" him as the Empire would have it. I've read about the Nords being racist in the game and I'm not down with that but I haven't seen any evidence of it outside of that one encounter in Windhelm where that Dark Elf is being harassed right by the gate.

have you talked to ulfric yet? he's pretty blatantly racist and a lot of the stormcloaks at the head of the rebellion are in line with it. i think the game does a nice job of making the factions fairly realistic in that they each have some attractive and some really foul characteristics going for them. i haven't picked a side yet but i'll probably pick stormcloaks because they seem like the lesser of two evils.

Imperials are the tories of skyrim.

yeah, the stormcloaks are a tad racist, but so are the thalmor (and the empire is the thalmors' bitch)

CANT WAIT. getting it for christmas!

[aspect-dubz]

Imperials are douchebags. Trying to chop your head off without any hard evidence of the crime is good enough reason to wage war.

[unwind]

Just finished the college of winterhold storyline and DAYUM i got some nice stuff! Definately worth doing

[hayze99]

Finally got this, and it's spastically good. Trying really hard to self-impose some sort of discipline in regards to playing it, despite that whole - er - unemployment thing.

It's probably cheaper in the long run than boozing it up at the local parkbench/wetherspoons.

should i get this for pc or xbox?
my pc can run it fine, but I play xbox A LOT more mainly because my friends play it.
