I hope for DLC that gives me a book called 'the lusty greybeards.'
Think 'the lusty argonian maid', but then about master Bori ghetting teached master Arngeir about the dragobtongue..

I think DLC will be Morrowind to go in, or High Rock.
And I hope TES6 will be in Summerset Isle and the reuturn of the Dwemer.. Hell yeah!

Skyrim is way easier lockpicking. Maybe because I've got experience from fallout but it is easier anyway. There's no catastrophic reset of the lock for a screw up.

Something with the Dwemer would be pretty cool. The closest we ever got was that one expansion (Mournhold?) and even then it was just ghosts. I dont count the Dwarf that was at the Corprusarium, as he was.....well you all know. He looked like Chum-lee with spider legs

The Dwemer i'm not sure about, but I would like to see Snow Elves.

There's a statue of one (the only known representation of a Snow Elf pre-blindness etc.) but I think it could be a really good questline to discover their origins and track them, before discovering a small community hidden somewhere.

We know they were driven mostly underground by Ysgramor and eventually became the version of Falmer we all know and love, but we don't know if any migrated to previously unknown locations using natural tunnels and coming out in some area of extreme natural beauty.

They could have been trapped by cave ins or even by their mutated brethren, or not desired to leave, and those who did got lost and twisted into Falmer.

The Dovahkiin discovers clues about their heritage (starting with the Eyes of the Falmer you recovered in the Thieves Guild questline, who recognise who and what you are and grant you some sort of vision), and tracks the movements of one colony in particular, following them as their civilisation was put to the torch by Ysgramor (perhaps a tie-in to the current companions here?) and how they begged with the Dwemer to protect them (let's visit a Dwemer ruin!) but when they saw what the Dwemer did to their brethren, the fled further underground.

Over the years they lost more and more to attacks by their twisted brethren and Dwemer pursuers, until they finally stumbled upon an area untouched by mortal hands, and saw it as a place where they could restart their civilisation without fear of the Nords.

They blocked the entrances and laid enchantments upon them and went about their business.

When Alduin returned, they used some special connection with the statue that holds the Eyes of the Falmer to grant the Dragonborn the knowledge to find their new civilisation, so that they can be saved from the atrocity that Alduin wrought and that his dragons bring upon their new civillisation.

You journey through Skyrim, finding clues in scriptures that talk of Ysgramor and the 500 companions, and in the city of Saarthal. You seek out Tilma the Haggard, the caretaker of the current Companions, and learn that there is more to her than first meets the eye.

With the companions now less prejudiced, the agrees to join you in your search for the survivors of the original Falmer, noting that her presence could extend a hand of friendship that could cement a more permanent presence in Skyrim, now the prejudices of the old companions are gone.

More journeying into a Dwemer ruin reveals that the Dwemer ran into the colony and originally accepted them, but they refused their hospitality and turned on them, fleeing further into the earth. The Dwemer and their slave Falmer gave chase, but were ultimately locked out by the Snow Elves when they reached their new place. The Dwemer then set about fortifying the entrance, so should the Snow Elves attempt to return, they would be annihilated.

Once you de-fortify it, the ghost of a Snow Elf, the leader of the colony who fled, comes through the entrance to speak with you. (S)He is nervous about the presence of "such a powerful and ancient enemy" in Tilma, but becomes more relaxed when you explain. (S)He accepts you into their new realm by stepping back through the entrance with the eyes of the falmer, and a few moments later, a glowing blue door appears in the stone.

You step through into the new land, talk a bit, their current situation is explained and you must slay a powerful agent of Alduin who has taken roost near their city. Tilma excuses herself to allow you to do what you do best.

Once complete, Tilma returns with the a unit of Stormcloaks in tow and issues an ultimatum to the Snow Elves, demanding their surrender. She explains that the current companions had become lazy in their quest to rid Skyrim of the Elves and she had been searching for years about lost colonies until you came along, and forces you to make a choice: kill off the Snow Elves once and for all, or choose to die with them.

If you choose to slaughter them, you receive some stuff; gold and all that jazz, if you choose to help them, then you aid them in fighting off Tilma and the Stormcloaks, giving you access to the Snow Elves, who decide that Skyrim is not ready for them yet, and choose to stay.

To re-enter, use any shout on the entrance and the door will appear until you shout at it again (useless, but nice for lore purposes).

That's my convoluted, very compressed idea for reintroducing original Snow Elves.

When I think of snow elves, I think of the kind that were born into an life of eternal servitude by a bulbous greater daemon of Nurgle, forced to make toys out of wood for ungrateful children that would rather play video games.

No other PC players getting the left/right click issue with dual casting spells?

I want to throw this out there, I personally, am not a fan of the dual weapons. It feels a bit awkward to use, I get annoyed that when I hold BOTH buttons down for the power attack, your character just stands there swinging. So many times, has an enemy just took a step or two back, and Im swinging at the air. I also dont like how cluttered up the screen looks with both weapons sticking out the front, yet in 3rd person mode, your character holds one back over head, and only 1! is out front. Bit annoying.

I redid my Berserker Orc to use 2 handed swords instead. Just couldnt get over the dual wielding oddities

Wasn't there a news storyv about morrowind being on the disk? I think DLC will take us back there. One of the companions did mention going to morrowind since he had already killed one of everything in skyrim.

I'm getting my arse handed to me by the mages in that place where you go to find the books.
I finally figured out how to duel-cast so I can do damage, but there's this one place where there's a frost mage and two fire mages, I can take out one quick time but then the others are too good at blocking, when my own ward thing seems to suck.
They basically bash me to death with magic, it sucks.

Fallout helped me alot when it came down to lockpicking too

Loving Skyrim so far one the best RPG if have play in such a long time, thou Titan Quest still has a place in my heart

I think I've concluded my character looks best in Orcish.

I made a set in Ancient Nord but I would like it more if that set looked heavier as a heavy armour set. It looks too light.

Try sneaking up on them/using illusion spells/conjuring some allies/getting heavy armour/retreating and healing up/enchanting better gear/making potions to buff you. If you try to use NOTHING but destruction magic (or nothing but any other skill) you are unlikely to get very far in this game.

Sadly I've found the same thing, other than dual sneak attacks dual wielding sucks

Just wanted to get some info on the Falmer - I picked up a quest to go kill the leader of the "shimmerlight cave" (or somesuch) from the companions, and I'd like to know a bit more about my enemy before I go charging in (or sneaking in, for that matter)

If your a sneaky type, the Flamer are easy to kill off. Just sneaking and picking them off with a bow is really all you need. Couldnt tell you about them in a face to face though, as I only dealt with them with my assassin type

Cheers, I'd heard a rumour that they were really hard to sneak up on, so I'll stick with sneaky ranging.

They were REALLY easy to sneak up on for me. But my sneak was maxed and I maxed out that XX% harder to detect perk. So that might have been why, I just back stabbed every damn one of them. But yea, distance + Bow and you should be fine

Face to Face, they are a bunch of mother bastards. They have tons of health and deal a ridiculous amount of damage, and they poison their weapons.
Fighting 5 of them at once at a low level (-15) is a death sentence.

Hell, I was like lvl10 or so, clad in full friggen dwarven armor with a great sword, and I died like 10 times fighting the s.

And if they do detect you they are frakking accurate with their poisoned bows.

In Blackreach I am getting sniped by a Falmer 1/2 way accross the map, while fighting some sword and board Falmer and a Charus. Not fun when NPCs enjoy 60% accuracy at any distance.

Yeah, they can be annoying, but with a good companion, a shout( I use air elemental fury) and the right gear (Full daedric anyone?) they are just an annoyance. btw I normally play expert or master.

Get the DB or thieves guild boots that muffle you or get the illusion spell muffle, falmer use nothing but sound to detect you so if you move silently you are practically invisible to them.

I could have a crack at both if you want; BorrixArngier (or however it's spelled, i'll look it up) for thenoobbomb, and LydiaxMjoll for you.

Of course, in perfect bad slashfic fashion, it'd have to be hilariously out of line with the plot and background and one of the duo has to be innocent and shy with the other one being as horny as feth, even if it's hugely out of character. They also have to discover that they're secretly gay, despite having no thoughts about it previously whatsoever.

It also has to be badly spelled with little or no grammar.
