A friend of mine has had Skyrim since December, and already has levelled his character up to Lvl. 84 while I'm only Lvl. 15!

I know, right? I have no idea how people level up so quickly.

I finally convinced him to tell me, he makes as many Iron Daggers as he can afford, which levels up his smithing skill, causing him to level up. When they have, he sells the daggers for a higher price and repeats :)

Looks nice, though I don;t think it'll fix the one real bug the game has and that's a ticking time bomb in the save file that kills your ability to play past a certain number of hours or areas explored or in world time or something. I'm really looking forward to future mods but I'll have to do it with a noob character as my moderately capable main can't play the game for any period of time any more due to the save game bug.

Well I'd rather wait and see before I pass final judgement there. BTW I haven't experienced that issue yet. I'm at level 55, have 309 hours and my largest save file is 14.4 meg though I only have 280 save files thus far. Though I do do manual saves, thus the 280 files, I mainly do the quick save thing (F5) thus so little files.

But yeah the large save file is an issue...

- CTD Save File Size - Bethesda Softworks Forums
- Save Game Size CTD confirmed - Steam Users' Forums

Anyway maybe this is meant to address the issue

Fixed rare crash with loading saved games

Out of curiosity, how many "Places discovered" do you have in the stats? I was at 315 I think out of 341 I think is the max... I'm betting that each place you discover (and ransack) adds a sizable chunk to the file size.

A complete Map of Skyrim.

Just completed first few quests of the game, level 2!

Just got my smithing to 100 and made my 1st set of Dragon Scale Armor :)

Not sure if I should make a second set for Aela though (shes who I take everywhere)

Level 2 1/2 now, on my way to kill a bandit chief somewhere in a keep near Whiterun. Keep running into bandits on the way. Luckily, I stole the axe from the barracks, which has 23 attack! Anyone else do that? :) Loving Skyrim so far!

Nice. I got my Smithing level to around 95 and stopped there. The Dragon armor for me anyway is worthless. So I just made two sets of Daedric armor for me and Mjoll and I was set. :)
