So much to do in this game!

I'm in the middle of about 10 quest trees, with probably about 30 side quests on going. I've decided to clean up my side quests before continuing on with the main quests, as there's a lot of "Go Talk To ___" type things just cluttering the quests screen. But all of them end up being enjoyable.

One quest that I'm in the middle of is following a dog that's talking to me. He and his owner had a falling out, and he wants me to help him talk to his owner. I believe his owner is some sort of demon/demigod type character, and might even be the dog itself, who's just playing a trick on me. I was following the dog, but got distracted by an interesting...

Barbas is so annoying after you get him to his destination and have to go elsewhere. He knocked me off a cliff twice. Save often!

Also, if you haven't done Hircine's quest, check that out. You can have more control over your werewolf transformations.

AdamPFarnsworth Post Author wrote on 02/27/2012 at 04:45pm

Oh I save pretty often as it is lol. I will have to check out Hircine's quest soon!

AdamPFarnsworth Post Author wrote on 02/27/2012 at 10:14pm

One thing I can't figure out is how to change back from werewolf. I either use the wait command, or just sit around in a safe area until I change back.

Travis Admin wrote on 02/28/2012 at 01:13am

I *think* that the reward from Hircine's quest gives you more control there. The only way I ever changed back was by waiting.

The Dragon is a Huge... Nerd?

Nerd Dragons represent.

This is hilarious.

I love it most of all because of all the book's in the dragon's room. There are SO many books to read throughout Skyrim!

"Everybody hates you Dragon!". Awesome

It would make a good gravatar too!

How many bunnies have you killed? Im really not sure why,

How many bunnies have you killed?

I'm really not sure why, but the game does track this! I've killed 3 or 4 so far. They're not that common, and they're quick... I just realized I've killed more dragons than bunnies.

Today I chased a snow fox, trying to kill it with an arrow (that thing is hard to aim at a moving target!), killed a widow in her secluded tower (I didn't realize she was just a widow by herself. In my defense she started throwing fireballs at me...well, I don't remember who shot first actually...) and was attacked by fish. Totally just wandered around Skyrim. Practiced dual wielding weapons and spells and totally just killed time. A fun night in Skyrim!

jdodson Admin wrote on 02/18/2012 at 10:19pm

Awesome. When I get Skyrim I will allocate time to killing rabbits. See if my rabbit average could be well over my Dragon average.

Travis Admin wrote on 02/22/2012 at 07:30pm

Protip-- following foxes around can lead you to interesting stuff.

AdamPFarnsworth Post Author wrote on 02/22/2012 at 08:14pm

Dude, rock on. I will try that tonight!

Travis Admin wrote on 02/22/2012 at 08:33pm

They can also lead you around in circles for an hour. That's the only fox I've killed.

AdamPFarnsworth Post Author wrote on 02/22/2012 at 11:16pm

I'm blaming you if I go around in a circle for hours now.

Travis Admin wrote on 02/22/2012 at 11:33pm

Fair enough. To be honest I don't have a huge sample size. I have followed three, and two took me somewhere interesting. I learned about it from this article: http://www.damnlag.com/things-you-may-have-missed-in-skyrim/ but in searching around for more info it appears they may just be entirely random and just happen to pass interesting things.

I have a feeling Ill be writing about this game a lot

I have a feeling I'll be writing about this game a lot lol.

I'm really impressed by the physics in this game! Maybe it's standard now, I haven't played a "new" game in a while, but the water is just amazing. Rivers have actual flow, that will pull you along. Swimming with the flow will move you faster, swimming against it slows you down.

Randomly, in the middle of nowhere I saw a cart (like what you'd hook up to a horse or ox) just bobbing along a river, slowly moving towards a waterfall. I helped push it along and watched it fall down the waterfall, then got swept down as well. The cart was still just bobbing down the river. I know it's just random, but I found it... Read All

I shall toss one in tonight!

Timogorgon Member wrote on 02/15/2012 at 07:07pm

Man, I want this game really bad but I haven't even finished Oblivion or Fallout 3 yet. Plus my current computer can't handle it and I'd rather have the PC version over the PS3 version. (if only they did something like Portal 2 did where I could buy both at the same time...)

jdodson Admin wrote on 02/16/2012 at 02:55am

I agree, I want the game + steam key so I can play it where its best served. Im thinking of picking up Skyrim on the PS3 after I hear how the latest PS3 patch shakes out.

Travis Admin wrote on 02/20/2012 at 04:46am

The water physics are great. I was so impressed when I dropped in the water the first time and realized I was being pulled by a current.

I got the game a couple days ago, and am totally hooked.

AdamPFarnsworth gives this an astounding "Must Play" on the Ghost Scale

This achieves something special, and it would be a shame to miss it.

I got the game a couple days ago, and am totally hooked. It's so open-ended that it can be difficult to choose what to do!

I was stealing some stuff from a shopkeeper's basement. He heard me and came down and attacked. I beat him up and he fell to the ground, then his adult daughter came down, attacking as well, and I killed her. Later, I came upon a quest where I found a treasure (a Golden Claw), and had to figure out who it belonged to to give it to. Turns out it was the shopkeeper's. So I gave it to him (he didn't die from our fight), but he just said "I just wish my daughter was here to enjoy it." Man, what a downer!

But, I ended up stealing a "dragonstone" from his... Read All

Sounds awesome. Can you harvest more stuff from animals than butterfly wings?

AdamPFarnsworth Post Author wrote on 02/12/2012 at 02:18am

I haven't bothered with too many animals, but it looks like you can kill most anything and get pelts from them.

jdodson Admin wrote on 02/12/2012 at 04:13am

You should kill a mammoth!

AdamPFarnsworth Post Author wrote on 02/12/2012 at 09:20am

Oh I've tried! Haven't got one yet. One of my quests is to deliver a mammoth skull to someone lol.

Hmmmm. Do a barrel roll?

AdamPFarnsworth Post Author wrote on 02/12/2012 at 10:16pm

LOL! Well I took down my second dragon today, so perhaps a mammoth will die soon.

jdodson Admin wrote on 02/12/2012 at 10:20pm

Awesome.

Travis Admin wrote on 02/20/2012 at 04:50am

Mammoths aren't that bad, but the giants that guard them can give you a free trip to the stratosphere in earlier levels.

But Jon, in answer to your question, butterfly wings, torchbug thoraxes, wolf pelts, bear skins/claws, mountain lion pelts/eyes/claws, and meat from just about everything.

There's a random stat in the player stats section called "Bunnies slaughtered" so I haven't killed any rabbits to find out what they have. That stat makes me feel preemptively guilty for bunny murdering.

jdodson Admin wrote on 02/20/2012 at 05:13am

Adym was showing me Skyrim and killed a Goat. It wasn't great, I was like "NOOOOOO!"

Travis Admin wrote on 02/20/2012 at 05:26am

I have to admit to enjoying FUS-RO-DAHing a goat or two down a mountainside.

Yeah, the arrow-in-the-knee meme has already overstayed its welcome. Maybe by the time you come around to finding it hilarious it will be back in favor again :)

So Adam apparently chose to be a necromancer when playing Skyrim because he brought this post back from the dead.

Burn Dudes, Raise The Dead

Burn dudes -> Raise dead -> Burn more dudes -> Raise dead.

With the Creation Kit coming out very soon, heres an idea

With the Creation Kit coming out very soon, here's an idea for any modders.

I wish you could restore Helgen. It could be a nice little questline. Clear the bandits, gather the scattered survivors, bring different kinds of ore, ingots, and firewood, donate money to the restoration effort...

You could even use your connections to get business. The Arch Mage could use his connections at the college to get an alchemist shop in town, the leader of the Thieves Guild could get a fence and even some legit trade, you could get the Companions to provide muscle, either the Imperials or Stormcloaks to send guards, the Bards College could send word to all the bards in all the inns...
