The BIG Skyrim Thread

How can I talk to esbern? I manage to persuade him to let me in but he never opens the door.

Skyrim is killing my social life Also dragons kill me SO easily. I need to raise smithing to 100, and produce some GOOD stuff.

After 100ing Two-Handed, I'm gonna switch over to One-Handed just like prowler said.

Yes, Smithing is the best perk in the game, when you max it out you can get stupid amounts of bonus armor when you make the item perfect.

Skyrim sells 3.4 copies in 48 hours

Poor Bethesda. Only 3.4 copies in 48 hours. Before the fourth buyer got his copy handed to him, the store owner chopped the game into pieces it seems.

Spoiler

you're meaning 3.4 million copies, I hope

I went to school today and I was pleasantly surprised to see how popular and big this game is. A lot of people who don't game at all knew the title and after looking at someone play for 30 minutes they were really hyped for it. I'm glad for Bethesda, they deserve it!

Upgrading Smithing is incredibly easy, really. I'm at 78 I think now, close to getting Ebony. By the way, that Black Star Enchantment thingy is easily one of the best items in the game, I love it, enchanting is much more fun for me now. Thanks

I'm close to 70, iirc. I need more iron and leather. I've now started training Pickpocket. It's incredibly easy to raise! I'm already at 80+ from 20 in something like a few hours, and it's one of the best skills of the entire game

I've also discovered why my character sucked so badly, I was level 20 and I wasn't using ANY perk

 

[prowler]

I made a new character, my old guy is gone (well I've kept one save of him). Being a full on warrior is boring, much fun being a Khajiit Assassin/Thief

Just be everything at the same time, lol.

I would but you can't max out perks plus my first guy used two handed weapons and heavy armor, which isn't good for sneaking around.

Man I feel stupid, I was stuck in the ratway for almost an hour. Stupid lever
I did accidently find that one guy (Einhausen) from the main quest though.
I wasn't even looking for him, I was just looking for a way out

Tons of perks are useless. Plus after about level 20 or so i've constantly had 5+ points to spend at all times.
As for armor, carry two sets. Thieving armor is soooo light. All I did was wear my thieving armor until I was travelling to or through a dungeon/dangerous area.

I enjoy being a jack of all trades, lol.

I'm lvl 40 now, Pickpocketing is at 100 (don't bother upgrading it any more, perks are way too valuable at the moment)
Smithing at 85, tomorrow I'll deliver the final blow to get me some Daedric Armor! I've got Ebony now, all enchanted with awesome shit thanks to the Black Star.

Also got 86k cash, I'm rich as fuck, I've played 40 hours now and at least 35 of them I've spent on earning moneyzzzzzz. It's always like that in TES games, in Oblivion it was even worse because Apples/Leeks/Bread/Other frequent things were worth stealing to transform them in a Restore Fatigue potion.

I'm an Orc with Heavy Armor and One-handed but I can sneak/steal very good too, it's not really hard even with big clunky weapons/armor. Just be patient and use quick save a lot, easy.

Surviving up to level 20 without any perks? I'd call it HARDCORE

Okay, so I learned an important lesson.

Spoiler

Whatever you do, if someone attacks you when trying to found out info about a village conspiracy, then has the village guard gang up on you, run out the gate. Trying to fight them will put a bounty on your head even if the guards are forsworn. Forgot the name of the village but it was the eastern most mining village on the map, I chose to fight rather than pay the 3000 gold piece fee.

But that somehow crashed the game when I chose to do that. Next time, I'm running.

something happened to me, I don't know if it's a bug or what, but...
I had this enchanted orcish bow that I'd gotten recently. I used it for a while, re-filled its magic with captured souls every now and then...
but before or during a fight with a some regular skeleton soldier, I realized the bow was gone!
I looked all over the floor but it wasn't there, seems like it just disappeared.
Is this normal? or a bug, or maybe another alternative i didnt think of?
i'm sad, i liked my enchanted bow

Did they happen to use a shout?
There was a Draugr that used some shout on me, suddenly lost my sword.

That's pretty odd

I'm sure you can find another one soon, they can be anywhere, I found my Enchanted Bow at some random small Bandit Hideout after I just went came out a dungeon.

Yeah some Draugrs can shout and disarm you, which pisses me off.
I spent ages trying to find my sword while he kept attacking me ):
