So I can't become glittery and brooding? NOOOOO!!!!!! damn it! What have I done!!!

Good news SOF, you're not in a Cullen family.

You'd have to kill your wolf spirit and then get infected with vampirsim to have access to the Bella Swan quest but being a werewolf is much better than a vampire in Skyrim.

The only werewolf downside is that you don't get rest bonuses.

[Southzen]

I know the awesomeness if Skyrim is not getting hijacked by Twilight!

And yeah, being a werewolf in Skyrim is much better than being a vampire, where you are weakened in too many ways for it to be of any benefit. Not to mention once you reach stage four, you will find it nearly impossible to complete quest or interact with others. I've contracted the disease twice, but a quick pop of potion gets rid of it before it becomes nearly impossible to cure without a long quest play through (provided the character you need hasn't died).

I still find new and interesting nooks and crannies in this world every day; some just leave me staring at the screen for a few moments. I must have watched a dragon lazily fly around the area around White run for 10 or more minutes from a nearby cliff side last night. Sometimes new perspectives of some of the areas I frequented make me stop for a second and take it in.

I don't know how any MOTUC fan that plays video games isn't into the this game.

I don't know how any MOTUC fan that plays video games isn't into the this game.

It's a cool game, but I am having to force myself into it. To ME, the quests are not easy to follow, it's annoying to find my horse, having to go through menus to look at my armor/weapons, spells and abilities, and to me the crafting profession doesn't seem to have a lot of direction.

With that said, I may be spoiled and used to playing MMOs. I can summon my mount without having to find it, my armor/weapons, abilities are laid out in a character sheet, and the crafting professions are easy to follow. The graphics are nice, but that doesn't make up for the lack of a mouse (I'm talking the 360 version). I'm not saying the game is bad, but it is hard for me to adjust.

you can activate quests and then press a button to see where to go. make sure you don't have too many quests active at a time (i usually only have one so it's easier to follow on the compass).

the horse is a little wonky (i don't even really use them since you can usually fast travel near something and then run to it; and they aren't that much faster than running; some will fight for you which gets them killed; of course i had one get killed while i was trying to get off of it), but a trick with horses and followers is to fast travel to somewhere you've been and they will appear next to you.

for weapons, armor, etc, you can mark them as favorites, then press the up button (on consoles) to open your favs menu and cycle through them.

I know what you mean. At first, I was enjoying the game and played so much that I felt I should stop for awhile. Now I can't get back into it. Its gotten boring and repetitive. How many Falmer and Drauger can you kill before it gets old?

the biggest advantage of a horse for me was that i didn't have to worry about grabbing too much loot in a dungeon. as soon as i ssslllooowwwlllyyy made it outside, i could hop on the horse and fast travel to town. having a follower would help, but they soon run out of space as well! but after maxing out smithing (and to a lesser extent, enchanting) i had no use for any weapons or armor that i haven't made myself*. the only things i really collect now are gold, items that restore health, and soul gems.

*except for those cool ghost weapons. if i find a way to upgrade them or craft stronger ones on my own, i will definitely switch out for those!

there's a trick to the follower. either throw stuff on the ground and then order your follower to pick it up or have your follower loot everything from a given chest or whatever (the only thing they won't loot is a dragon as far as i can tell). this gets around their carry restrictions.

some weapons and armor are unique items, ill grab glass, dragon and ebony to make new stuff with trying mix enchantments, sometimes double enchantments stack well. I pass up a lot of it though. The Ghostblade is one such, it is like the spectral weapons except it ignores armor. Im not sure about the other spectral weapons but the Ghostblade can be upgraded on smithing wheel with 3 ectoplasm.

[Stinkor's Only Fan]

I just learned about smithing iron daggers to build your smithing levels up. I jumped from whatever they start you at to level 54 in a days play. Bestest of all is that It's not cheating! Whoo hoo!!

smooth. i'll have to remember that trick.

i don't have the weapon called "ghostblade", just some generic spectral weapons. bows and one handed weapons, i believe. i gathered them in labyrinthian. good to know there's at least one upgradeable weapon like that out there. i don't even care about the enchantments when it comes to spectral weapons. they just look too cool!

one of my friends had been telling me about his dog in the game for a while, but i didn't find one myself until last night. but then he died while i fought bandits 10 minutes later...

[EldestSon]

there's a quest with a dog and that one will follow you around until you finish the quest line. since he's an important quest npc, he can't die. i can't remember the "city" it starts in. it's in the southwest, but it's not the dwarven city on the mountain. it's the one close to the dark brotherhood. quest starts with a guard telling you the smith is looking for a good dog as you walk in.

anyway, the dog is really annoying. he continually pushes into you and stands next to you. he almost pushed me off a cliff when i was exiting a cave. and he makes it really hard to get things off of shelves because he's constantly pushing you out of position.

I think you mean Barbas. You are correct about him being annoying. The other dogs are less annoying (if you can deal with the constant barking) and shouldn't die unless you deal the final blow. Look up Meeko's Shack to get a free dog.

yeah, meeko was the one i accidentally killed. he was attacking the same bandit as me, not sure if he was off to the side or if the bandit was between us. kinda sucked that he died so early, but like EldestSon said, the constant pushing that NPCs do has caused me to just go adventuring solo. plus i don't want to risk getting my housecarl wife killed.

incidentally, my first housecarl was killed while i explored the dwemer ruins in markarth. i was fighting off several spheres and one of the centurions (that's the name of the really big ones, right?) and lost sight of my sidekick. i was losing the battle fast, when i remembered having a powerful fire scroll. i used it to kill the robot, but couldn't find my housecarl. then i dove into the water from the high ledge and saw her corpse floating nearby. i don't know for sure if the fall would have killed her or if it was the scroll i used, but i suspect it was the latter and that bums me out. she always made me smile when she would begrudgingly carry all the junk i had lying around.

[wolfsfang]

I always go adventuring solo for those very reasons. NPC followers do nothing but get in your way and either stop you from picking stuff up or pulling levers because they just won't move or else they jump in your way and get killed when you hit them with the swing of your massive axe which was meant for the Draugr in front of you

[wyldman11]

figure some of you might get a kick out of this.

[Gragar]

Somewhere bewteen Skyrim and Arkham City is how a new MOTU vid game should be made

Now THIS is a good idea.

[EldestSon]

i beat the 2 main quests last week. i was level 51 decked out in draeda armor and dual wielding draeda swords so it was pretty easy.

i decided to start over with a rogue (who uses magic) dark elf character. i used the exploit during the tuturial opening and got my stealth and one handed up a bit.

pick pocketing is one of the worst skills ever. w/o pots or enchantments (not really that available at low level) it's difficult to level up. i get caught 90% of the time which forces me to have to pay a fine and loose all of my stolen goods.

it's much easier to just walk in a store, sneak, and steal when hidden. i mostly steal crafting goods and money - so i don't have to worry about selling it later. tho that will change soon since i started the theives quest.

yeah, with my tank character i liked either the azura priestess or aela since they mostly fought at range. now with my new thief/mage character tho sometimes i use ranged spells, but it doesn't help having a tank. i've already killed 2 followers. i didn't bother reloading. now i just solo.

[Southzen]

I waited until this week to finish the main quest line. I started it at level 62; that one part with all the draugr was a pain in the ***. They were all level matched or higher death lords or over lords. I am still using the same character because unless you commit perks, you aren't necessarily married to anything other than race and sex. Mjol is an unkillable npc, or so I'm told. I married her for that reason, an always easy access tank follower. I'm getting tired of her, so tonight I am going to fus ro dah her off a mountain and see just how unkillable she is I am currently working through the dark brotherhood quest, along with the deadric quest, this stuff is twisted. But I guess dragon shouting your wife off a mountain because you are tired of her isn't the nicest way. It isn't my fault bethesda didn't include a devorce option.

I also married Mjoll. I feel betrayed that she married you as well. It’s a sad day in Skyrim when you can’t trust your virtual RPG wife to stay faithful.

[EldestSon]

my tank married aela. he's whipped.

i don't think my rogue will have any other followers till i get to quests where i can't sneak attack with a bow any more.

I just saved before every pickpocket and got to 100 in one day.

As for her little psycho stalker that still followers her around in my houses. I'm going to take her on a mission, tell her to wait, watch him start to stroll away like he usually does when I do that, then I am going to Master level lightening storm his annoying creepy butt. Then, I'm going to try to Fus Ro Dah her off a mountain side! I've had to restart more saves because a follower was caught in my Fus right over a bridge, casm, or whatever (a few met their end against a wall at low health).

Oh, I have level 100 conjuration (okay, I am level 100 in all majicka), I can now cast two thralls, atranocs, zombies, or dremora, it is blissful to sit back and watch the two twin dremora run around yelling "I smell the blood of the weak" LOL Also, if you want heavy armor but don't want to waste perks, reach level 90 conjuration and do all the college of winterhold quest, and you can craft daedric armor all you want without smithing perks. Also, I am now finding all the armor types I want in world once I hit level 65. It is also awesome to cast master level destruction and watch the world around you come to an end. So my friends asked last night, "how did you kill so and so" I respond "I blew up the room in flames and killed everything at once!"


Edit 1-26-2012: I Fus Ro Dah'ed Mjol right off the top of the Throat of the World , by the time her body hit anything she was at the edge of disappearing. Confirmed, unkillable NPC follower. I took her through a few dungeons and did master level destruction spells that wiped out even the Draugr Death Lords while she was downed, she stood up right after the rampaging chaos still breathing. I guess my character is married to an immortal.
