Skyrim

Full legendary deadric armor here, with the legendary Rahgot. As for weapons i use Chillrend and Ebony sword of leaching both legendary, I have deadric swords too but i like the effects of Chillrend and ESoL better than just brute force with deadric swords. Dont have any nice enchantments for my deadric stuff yet.

so 70 hours in i just found out u can use guardian stones, to improve ur magic, thief, fighter skill 20% faster ... damn!!

[Kunaak]

theres lots of standing stones - 13 in all, and all have some unique buffs, like the steed increases your carry weight by 100, and removes the hinderance of armor weight (so you dont have to spec for it)
theres another buff that allows you to reduce and absorb 50% of your incoming magic damage.

its definatly worth finding and learning what standing stone does what, and find what suites your play style.

How did that happen ? In the first act when you finish escaping the dragon and move to the first town, the NPC with you shows you the first 3 stones (Mage,Thief,Warrior) and asks you to select one. I am using Mage still, haven't found any other set yet

[Kallenator]

I don't know, but is this the same if you follow the Stormcloaks at the start instead?

[nullface]

Yes, I did and was shown the stones.

Found the love stone = learn all skills 15% faster

well none of that stone matters, 100 hrs in (well steam says that, but i left the game on when i go out to eat, so .. lol) and, level 50. i stole a lot of stuff, and fully enjoyed the thieves guild quest. btw u get an unbreakable lockpick after u complete it.

lol dragonscale light armor 1072. my light armor is only like level 82. too bad i spent like 6 perks on destruction b4 level 25... i could have been a lot stronger.

my enchanting , smithing 100, alchemy only 54. i havent really done any enchant > alchemy > enchant loop to maximize my fortify smithing potion. i can make one that does +60% smithing, which is plenty.

[nullface]

You dont get to keep it, or at least i didnt? The lockpick.

[NEOAethyr]

My char is at lv 30 something or other.
Figured out how to become a vampire and also the werewolf ring thingy to the side (there's 2 of them, I used the debug map to get that ring).
Haven't play any of the missions for along time now.
Since I got that npc char, she died attacking some monster called krosis.

Killed at least a dozen dragons but didn't get all there souls for it, it's a bug.
Some of those dragons seem a bit more aggressive then some of the others, frozen compared to blood as example.

Been working on my magic, got one more lv to go on the destruction to master it and then I'll focus on single handed weapons again.
I can't go into any town and not have someone attack me lol, I think I screwed over my chance of beating the game, ohwell I don't care, just wanna lv for a while and del the game later .

Thought about hacking the stats...
The game takes alot of fun out of it without those 2 stat upgrade exploits...

Now level 42 :-) Got my full set of Daedric Armor, plus my Daedric Waraxe, Shield and Bow (all Legendary of course ;-)). Now I just gotta work on my enchantments. Heavy Armor, One-handed and Smithing are all 100 now. Working on my Waraxe Hack-n-slash perks, a few block ones, then should be transitioning mainly into enchantment. Isn't much stuff that is a challenge for me anymore, I can even reduce the damage by 50% of a dragon's long to medium range attacks using my shield now with the elemental blocking perk. Recently picked up the 'Storm Call' shout, very, very awesome, just don't expect your companions if they are close by to come out too well lol. Also had a random issue where my horse died, I looked around for it, and no joke when I found it, it was dead with it's arse and two back legs sticking out of the ground with the front end deeply implanted into the ground where I couldn't see, and yes screenshots of that to come lol.

[Philip_J_Fry]

yeah krosis, fun... sort of. use ward, and jsut use mace to whack him like 6 times and bam he's dead. good thing i killed the dragon before i fight him... he yields a mask +20% on archery, alchemy and lockpick
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Krosis

i found out that steadfast ward is better than any magic resist apparel. i have a necklace thas +70% resist to fire, and a ring thats 30% resist to fire. yet i still get killed by mage with fire attack in 5 sec, but with steadfast ward. ancient dragons (level 40+ i think) on master cant even damage me with their flame/frost attack. i still take damage from their fireball attack even with ward, but very little. they kill me in like 3 sec if i dont have ward activated.

so far i have completed mages guild, and thieves guild quest (sort of, i dont wanna give the skeleton key back :P). half way through fighter's guild. will start darkbrotherhood right after fighter's guild. too bad i went with light armor smithing. right now i am going the other way in order to get daedric weapon. i have like 6 daedra heart in my house

[Kallenator]

Way of the snake!

As promised my dead horse WTF pictures -

[Kondik]

I'd say he's Terminally sick. Byt Yes, I recently met a dragon , that decided to park his face in a house and couldn't pull it out, so we shot him in his rear ... poor little sod.

[SabreWulf69]

Had a few NPC's randomly dying and getting stuck in terrain bugs every now and then. Also had a few quest bugs were I couldn't hand them in. Also had a main quest bug where I had to keep on going in and out of a place, so the guy would talk, and when he did talk, there was no voice, and the text auto-skipped through really fast so I couldn't tell what the hell he was going on about. Whilst not quite a bug, had an issue where my woman / wife NPC follower would cast an undead fire shield scroll on herself, and my summoned spirit assassin follower would get hit by it, then start fighting her. Can't they just learn to get along lol.

Would much like them to fix the left over menu / GUI / control issues, quest issues, and certain issues like the terrain ones and other things in their patch(es) rather than apply stupid DRM for no apparent reason.

[Sunfire]

Skipping patch v1.2, waiting for 1.3 (or the REAL fix...). It's just wrong

Some patch 1.2 release notes.

http://www.bethblog.com/index.php/20...im-1-2-update/

Does Steam auto-update Skyrim to this patch or is there something we have to do manually?

[Tao~]

Hey, now I'm done 50 hours , Lvl 34. I completed the Dark Brotherhood quests and now I know where to get that horse-on-dope. The assasinations were cool-sounding but it was really stupid to make all those high-profile killings and get away with a mere 1000 gold bounty. I am stopping play for now, will resume after XMas - that Esbern guy is a mess and I cant find any patch for him on nexus either, guess Patch 1.3 should fix these bugs. Gotta finish Alduin's Wall after he's fixed.

A new patch came out the other day.
v1.4 I think it is, or v1.5, not sure, it's the 5th patch I know of.

I have to re-install the game, re-did windows a while back and it thinks it's not installed (stupid registry stuff).
I backed up my saves though, hoping I don't have to start from the beginning, if I do that's ok though I wanted to start over eventually.
