What an epic game... But, am i rushing it too much? I am lvl 13 and i've just fought with Alduin ( that first fight when he escapes ). Every time i watch a youtube video walkthrough, at the same quest i m doing, people are at least 10 lvls higher.

Don't worry, it varies for different people. For example, I was around Level 35 when I finished the Main Quest. However, some people finish it at about Level 20.

It really depends on what side quests and storylines you do. Some choose not to do any and just complete the Main Quests, others accept and complete every quest they can find.

I am at level 20 on my first try and i am at a stage where i just learned about shouts from greybeards and became Arch-mage of college of magic.I am liking the side quests and main quest can wait.This game is insanely epic and like one poster said there is so much to do and learn in SKyrim.

I did the same thing. I think I was between 20-25 before I ever met the Greybeards, and was something like lvl 45 when I finished the main quest.

I got tied up in all the other side quests I just didnt worry about the main quest line for a long time lol.

Finnished the game as a mage,so all that was left is a light armored thief/warior type thing,so I started with that a few days ago, and "Killed" a dragon today...(yeah I know,there's a bilion off them) but after the dragons health went to 0,he didn't die, he just stood there looking at me,so we had a stairing contest...he won,I got bored and no matter what I do he just stood there,so I started hitting him with every sword in my invintory,but that just made my one handed skill level rise, so I took some screen shots. The best part is,about an hour later I was just randomly killing forsworns,and out of no where a dragon fell infront of me,and started doing that red,yellow disolving thing and I got it's soul.....so I believe I still got the kill. lol

I have a question here.After learning shouts from the greybeards for the first time,how much of the main quest is left??I mean in percentage terms like 40 % or 50 %.

Thanks

 

[vierasniper]

Thanks viera

Thanks viera

No Prob. Knowing Skyrim, you'll get sucked into something else. Making the Game feel so much longer and never ending.

 

[Wishmaster]

Yea .. Good bit of it left.
In fact, if you want to to try and do lots of other stuff, thats really a good place to put the main quest on hold for a bit so to speak.

Even getting involved with one of the groups like the Companions, Mages etc will start a nice long quest line for you, that really has little to do with the main one. .. but still a blast.

I was about level 45 when I finished the main quest, and things changed for me when I did, at least initially. I was kind of bummed. It really meant the game was "over". I still had a lot of quests and a lot of places to explore, but without the drive of the main quest always being there for me the game lost some of it's draw.

As with previous versions, I always saved the main quest. I'd do one part of it ever few days, saving the finale till I had finished 90% or more of the rest of the game. This time, the last three parts to the main quest run together like a movie and you almost can't help but finish them all at once. So I ended up finishing the main quest a bit earlier than I wanted. And that was still at level 45!

I still had the theive's guild to go though and that's a fairly extensive quest line...

If you don't want to "accidentally" finish the main quest too early...
[tiny tiny spoiler below. Really, very small]



























If you don't want to "accidentally" finish the main quest too early. When You get to the part where you are asked or it is suggested that you call a dragon down to the castle in whiterun, don't. That starts a high speed run through to the end of the main quest.

[mickey megabyte]

Lol thanks Angeloooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww......

If i regret about this is there a cure?

 

[Alsisgevat]

Go for being one,the only side effect is no sleeping bonus, but you get awesome powers and are imune to any disease. So there isnt a bad part...well there wasnt for me.

And yeah, the cure you will find when you near the end of the companion quists, cant say how but it is pretty freaken cool

 

[fseal]

Hehe, go for it It's best to do this when you are lower level, being a werewolf seems more fun then, if your too high a level then wolfing out gets you killed in battle more

It also gets you into the Dark Brotherhood quest line if you wish (Though there may be other ways)

I've not regretted it at all, and yes you can cure yourself later on but I've not bothered. You get some additional funny comments from guards now and then. It's nothing incredibly special but it is definitely a little additional aspect of the game to experience...

[Edit] Oh yeah the sleeping bonus hehe, I never did take advantage of that even before.. who has time for sleep?!?! [/Edit]

 

[mickey megabyte]

yes, there's some info about a cure in the link i gave you (i don't want to quote it here, because of spoilers).

haven't tried it myself, as i enjoy howling at the moon and having hairy palms.

i thought the guards were commenting about my furry ears because i was a cat, but no, it's due to my lycanthropy.

 

[panais]

Ok i go nooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..........

Decided to stop doing main quests... Time to see what awaits me in Twilight Sepulcher.

I have the Lover’s stone perk so I haven't had the sleeping bonus for quite sometime and I haven't lost a thing.

That said, I decided against the Werewolf thing but may reconsider it if for no other reason than doing something different.

Anyway I've pretty much put Skyrim on the shelf as there's really nothing else for me to do after 370+ hours of play at level 61.
