In fact I have it set as my desktop wallpaper

Sovngarde?

 

[sygnus21]

Yeah

Was blown away when I first saw it.

This must be what it's like to be a WoW player - if I wasn't playing this game it would be another language to me, like WoW is

 

[sygnus21]

This game has some amazing places, and outside some bad textures here and there overall the graphics are great.

here's a video that i made, showing my shouts unlocked and stats page, still uploading as i send this so give it about 20 minutes from posting, Armor is dragonscale(legendary) and my weapon is daedric bow (legendary) but also have gauntlets of major archery(25%), ruby ring with 16% archery and also ebony helmet of extreme archery(30%) so it takes my bow skills to 144 and 24 damage on the daedric arrows.

Ugh, Dragons being a PITA last night

Had two at once at once point. I hope it was because I was exploring a relatively new area and not because I'm leveling up. I do NOT want the dragons to become like the oblivion gates where they just /constantly/ pop up every time you venture out of your house. The gates actually made me give up Oblivion entirely, it was so utterly repetitive and annoying to be interrupted that constantly.

One dragon a night is nice. 10 a night will make me stop playing (Well unless I craft that ultra powerful bow that can bring a dragon down in one shot )

The near constant wild animal attacks are bad enough... And well even then that wouldn't be too bad if you could use ranged weapons from horseback. (Was completely awesome in Red Dead Redemption)

 

[sygnus21]

The oblivion gates could be avoided by going around them which I did. However at least you got some valuable stuff going through the gate, notably the Sigil Stones. WIth the dragons you get some gold, bones, and maybe some armor or weapons, but yeah, you do get tired of them after awhile as they just become pests.

The animal attacks can be negated temporarily if you've got the "Kyne's Peace" shout.

Yeah the game can get monotonous if you don't develop different strategies on dealing with enemies and animals, or have the necessary gear.

However the Dragons are another story as you either fight them or stay inside a building or cave for a few hours.... I did this once and it worked, but I won't say it'll work all the time.

Personally I’d of loved to see something that says once you finish the Dragon Slayer quest dragons no longer attack you unless attacked. On the other hand that would be kind of messed up as you waltzed through a town and let the dragon destroy it

Heh I'll try keeping the pace shout equipped while I'm out and see how that goes

Course you can just run away and ignore the attacking animals but just hearing them constantly on your tail nipping at your horse is plenty annoying considering how much time I spend travelling.

When in battle I keep the maxxed out force shout loaded. When you get beset upon by multiple enemies or just one that is too powerful and you need a break to change weapons it works great. Besides just being plain awesome to use/watch. Blowing a crowd of enemies off their feet for a few seconds is pretty great.

 

[sygnus21]

One handed destruction attacks takes care of small animals like wolves. For larger ones I don't feel like dealing with Kyne's Peace works wonders and it makes them easier to kill if you want, though is it a bit unfair

I know man freaking wild life. i was going to some fort near the snowy mountains by solitude, and i said '' there better not be bears'' . guess what i see a couple steps down the road? a snow bear, short story long and i turned him into an area rug.

 

[fseal]

It seems to get worse the higher you level too. Sabre tooths, bears and trolls now come in packs of 2 or 3 frequently. I am almost ALWAYS under wildlife attack during dragon fights now too.

Yeah the higher the level the easier they become. I remember being owned by a Sabre Tooth tiger at level 12 - http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/197193-what-games-you-playing-2-a-8.html#post1660566 at level 42 I smack em around like they're some low like wolf

Anyway although some baddies are supposed to level with you, some are pretty easy to defeat, though there are some pretty high level bosses even at level 42 that'll give you a run for your money.

Quick story - I was on a quest to investigate a cave, ran across a high level baddie, prepared myself with all sorts of lotions, potions, armor, weapons, and magic.... one hit and he went down! I was like well that was anti-climatic... WTF

Don't think I'll get that lucky again

The high level arch mages are a terror. The ones with rapid fire ice spears do the most damage on me. I have some anti-frost damage armour enchantment but not nearly enough!

The higher level enemies seem to mainly be all magica users. Building up your magica protection skills becomes more important. Otherwise sneak and a powerful bow with stagger perks or better are pretty good offence against them.

 

[sygnus21]

Being that I'm a Dark Elf I focused on destruction spells right off the bat

I had shown a picture earlier of my character wearing the Archmage robe - http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/198691-discuss-skyrim-7.html#post1673523

Can't believe I still haven't played this, but I finish University tomorrow for Christmas, and my girlfriend's buying me it as an early Xmas present, so I'll finally have a go.

My only dilemma now is fitting it around the time I'm gonna spend playing Star Wars: The Old Republic.

 

[sygnus21]

Good game but it goes on and on and on - you basically decide when it's time to quit - How Do You Know When It's Time to Stop Playing Skyrim? Right now I'm sitting at 191 hours of playtime invested



Note that the first five achievements in that list are actually done but for some reason they still remain locked. I sent a TS ticket to steam to see what the issue is but haven't heard anything from them, nor am I holding my breath waiting on their response. Anyway that's where I am, 191 hours played.

im at 147 myself. ima give the game another run with a different build. this will be character number 4 :devil:

 

[sygnus21]

Well I'm getting to the point where I need to take a break. And creating another character and starting all over agian doesn't appeal to me at this point in time. That's me.

I accidentally finished the main quest last night at level 47.

The last few quests start to run together like the finale of a movie and though your given a couple of opportunities to opt out of continuing for now it was sort of like taking a bathroom break during the action sequence a the end of a movie so I played it through.

 

[sygnus21]

Yeah I finished the main quest and civil war about a week ago. Now I'm currently in the process of doing the thieves guild and other minor quests.
