I've already decided after my Orc I am making a Breton Werewolf; he will wolf out when things get too heavy for his magiks.

Seeing as Sheogorath is the PC from Oblivion, does that mean that there is a daedric quest for Jygallag?

There is a daedric quest for sheogorath so I presume so.

Thinking my alt will be a viking with a sheild and heavy armour. And absolutely no magic. Also he will carry the lusty argonian maid around with him at all times.

Now if you'll excuse me Lifts her Tail has to polish my spear.

Yep, obscure Oblivion referance wins the thread.

Same time next week?

It isn't really obscure is it?

I am actually thinking about rerolling to a melee/magick char. Bow started getting really boring last night... Just seems not to scale as well as melee. Only level 17 (translates to about 58 bow and 50ish sneak and all the perks I can got thrown into maximizing bow).

I want a thief type char for sure. I wish you could sneak attack with magick.

You could go bow with a sword/dagger set for when things get hairy, that would be quite thief-ish.

Have you tried using potions btw? Alchemy looks to be a big part of successful thief play.

I have messed around with alchemy quite a bit, but probably nothing crazy extensive. I am still in the "Mad Scientist" phase where I am trying to find as many recipes as possible.

I also muffed up a few things along the way. I didn't even think to level BSing like you would in, excuse the curse word, World of Warcraft.

This game is so gigantic, I feel like the 20 hours I have put in is barely scratching the surface (killed my 2nd dragon last night :-X).

I definitely underestimated how useful crafting is though...

That's pretty much what I do.. bow, plus sword & dagger.

I think it scales good enough. Sword and dagger hit harder, but the bad guy is also in my face trying to kill me. Arrows are for sniping and being extra sneaky.

I use poisons a lot, I don't really have any alchemy perks except the very first one though. But, I wish there was a quicker/easier way to apply your poison instead of having to open up a menu each time.

Can you quick bar poisons?

Or will they not apply themselves to what you're wielding if you hit that hotkey?

Yup, get the amulet, then wear it, talk to the person you want to mary, and if he/she likes you enough, they will ask you about it. If you say yes, you need to go to the alter in Riften, and thou can marry

Wait.. Wabbajack back? And lusty argonian maid too? This is awsome.

For the PC there's probably a hot key to make it easier, but on the PS3 I at least have to open up my favorite menu, and since I craft my own poisons and they all have varying strengths even if the potion has the same name, I have to Favoritize like 10 different pots, so it's easier to use the main item menu instead.

Bear in mind marriage-wise that if you want to wed any of the eligible Companions, you have to complete their main questline first otherwise the dialogue options for marriage don't appear.

Took me 3 playthroughs of Oblivion to find it. Mind you I didn't stop to do a lot of reading on my first 2.

I first played oblivion when I was about 14 or 15, reading "the lusty argonian maid" was pretty much the first thing I did.

I was 11.

Yikes, you guys are friggin young

Yeah I'm 18 in just under two weeks

When I was 18, the bestest RPG around was Wizardry on my Apple IIe

Betcha there isn't even a proper beard among em'!

No proper beard here, just rubbishy black wire, same as my father.

And now I feel incredibly old. You guys know that the Lusty Argonian Maid was written by Crassius Curio in Vivec, Morrowind. You actually have a quest to get it to the one actor who will agree to play in the debut of the play.

In other words, I was the second person in the world to read that book, only after the author.

Really, get slow time with bow zoom and you can lean around corners and head-1shot pretty much anyone that isnt a miniboss or higher.
stack up +bow damage items, buy every one you can, enchant the peices you haven't bought yet.

I'm at ~50 bow damage base right now and simply blow away just about anything I see with one sneak crit.

When I was 18 we didn't have MMORPGs or RPGs, we had ball in a cup. But in all seriousness I can legally drink in the United States and I remember playing Conker's Bad Fur day when I was about 10 or so.

But I got BF3 for myself and I got Skyrim on the PS3 for my bro and his girl, but I got a $20 gift card for each game. So I have $40 and I get 10% off, looks like I'll be getting it on PC for only $15.

I think the first rpg style game I played (loosely termed RPG anyways) was Valhalla on the Spectrum.

On a side note, got married, however didn't own a house at the time, neither did she (student at the Mages college) and it seems she has vanished.. still investigating, but not seen her at my new home, or back at the college since we wed.

My houseguard has turned up at the new house mind, which I thought was a nice touch.

She may have been killed by something, I'm sorry for your loss.

Hehe, if that indeed is the case, I will need to find out if the amulet will work a second time?

I hope so, only being able to marry once is a little odd.

On a lore note, if werebears are the most common lycanthrope in skyrim why do we never see any? for that matter why do we see so many werewolves if they are rarer?

Because as civilization encroaches on the natural habitat of the werebears people get mauled and turn into werewolves.

They get bit by werebears and turn into werewolves?

Seems legit.
