I watched a video just now, I guess that's it then (though I use the 360 controller so it should be a different button)
I am officially retarded :P

well lots of people are in the same position, I've found tons of forum threads on the net about this;
apparently it would seem a lot more logical if when pressing A (=clicking) on a shout, it would say "do you want to spend a soul to unlock this shout?" instead of saying "dragon souls are required to unlock a shout", which kind of implies that you don't have souls. Very confusing.
Lol, I also had a hard time to figure that out, it was just after I unlocked the shouts (well, I got a shout before being able to use them) so when I killed my second dragon I tried to use the other shout but it didnt work, later while I was looking at my spells, I went to shouts by mistake and noticed it had the dragon soul count at the bottom and a thingy saying Unlock shout (or something similar)... I think they should change that part, it's confusing at first. xP

Also, about mods, I tried to download one of the nude mods (well, I just wanted to see what they'd look like), but it said I needed something like a main mod in the instructions txt file, what does that mean? :S

PS: Anyone know what the song during the main screen is? I wanna download that song. D=
*Same song as in the vid above* >.

That's a heck of a lot of stuff for something that's outside Skyrim... Maybe they'll really add other areas? :S
There would be no point for them to make extra stuff if they didn't have a reason for it, specially since it seems to be somewhat truthfull to the maps of the other games.

Liked + favourited, awesome. Did you know you can actually shoot down the birds in the air, and they will fall down and you can loot them?

You'll have to wait a little longer to download those songs in the best quality, the OST shouldn't be too far away I think. That'll rule, I loved Oblivion OST, it's in fact the only OST I've added to my music collection. Can't wait!
I don't know anything about mods, ask it on the page where you downloaded the mod, there should be a FAQ/Discussion space.

Would be really really nice of Bethesda to make these areas just for the modders, in 2/3/4 years from now I'm sure we'll be able to play through Cyrodiil/Tamriel again in Skyrim! (if it's possible) Modders/community will surely do the effort.

a friend of mine is about to give up on skyrim (rented game, he didnt buy it) because the following thing happened to him:
he started the game and landed in riverwood at the start, but he killed a chicken and all the villagers are trying to take him down.
he can't progress in the game because of that, so he's given up. I told him to start from his previous save but he doesn't have one.
he can't remove his bounty because at that point in the game there are no guards in riverwood...
what can I tell him to encourage him to continue? it's stupid...

yielding to villagers is pointless, they'll still attack you. and since there isn't a guard in riverwood at the beginning of the game...
I'll tell him to go to whiterun and see if he can pay off his bounty :) thanks for the advice

Also, advise him to save often! Screwing up in an rpg is easy, and it'll be really helpful to have a previous and recent save on-hand to undo screw ups

I have no life since the release of this game. Sooo much time put into it, and I've only done, like 2 main quests. Suuuuch a good game. I bought MW3 on launch, then after this came out, I haven't touched Call of Duty :P

I think I played around 40 hours in a single weekend and now I just casually dabble in Skyrim. I think I burned myself out, lol

Meh... I'm still trying to find a good wife for me in the game... I read somewhere that Ayla the Huntress (the dudette from the companions) is marriable, although I'd prefer Saphire.... .

with perks on the Speech skill, you can get shopkeepers to have more money to buy your stuff.
you can "invest" gold in them or something like that. But I think that perk is accessible only after you buy most of the previous perks.

Yeah the speech skill has some neat stuff, though none of it really worth wasting several perk points for, since monster will level scale and eventually shops will be mostly obsolete to you.
At least, I pretty much never use shops anymore.

It kinda random, but I was just thinking how this game would be with move (or wiimote support if it comes to the wii u).
I think it would be awesome.

Yeah it'd be awesome with motion controls. Skyrim took a HUGE step forward with the typical Elder Scrolls combat, but it's still pretty hack&slash till shit dies.

what do you mean "you dont use shops" ? how do you get money then?
I need tons of money to pay for the mega expensive training, if I want to train in archery, one-handed, or sneak for example, i need between 4000 and 5000 gold for 1 skill increase. Which means between each level-up, I need to collect at least 20,000 to 25,000 gold.

If I don't sell all the items I collect during quests to the various shops across skyrim, there's no way I can make this much money...

Just pickpocket your money back after training. :P
