Is there any sign of a relationship system, either in general, or specific individuals (like in Fable) or is it looking like the Marriage Achievement is quest related?

About to pick it up in about 2 hours, I'll let you all know what its like, thank god for new zealand

Not exactly, so far all I've been getting is jibes in the form of: What are you doing staring like that at a married woman?! "scoff"

No clue how you actually get the deed done.

Yeah, I have been trying, poking around and seeing what reactions I get. I thought the fruit vendor chick might be a good one to try, apparently she is a super prude though.

Well, killed my first random encounter dragon yesterday, And now I can breathe fire, huzzah.

Also (BIG spoiler about the companions, the warrior guild in this game)



Also, I am a werewolf. It gives you an activated power that transforms you, you go into 3rd person, gain insane amounts of health, stamina and speed, but you can't interact with anything except for killing stuff. Also doubles as a good travel form cause of the run speed + stamina:3

Second question.. a shocking one I'm sure you will all agree going on my avatar, but is there a gender bias?

Is my girl trapped looking for guys or like the character, can she pick or choose from all colours of the rainbow?

No clue, haven't gotten into that part of the game yet.

All I do know is that only females have said things related to this issue, and I'm male. So take from that what you will.

All I do know is that Nord women have giant knockers and attitudes to match.

Also, everyone BE WARNED!

The accents in this game are terrible! I swear to god that the courtmage in whiterun has been voiced by a Dutchmen, and our english accent sounds dumb!

I read there is a patch on release day, hope it clears it up.

Holy crap! Holy crap! Out tonight! I just read this on the Bethblog.com about the strategy guide:

This weighty tome clocks in at 656 pages. It is around 550,000 words. It has over 150 maps and well over 1,000 screenshots.

It's a novel in and of itself.

There was a patch 3 days before release :3

In perparation of it's release in the UK tomorrow. I am learning the main Skyrim theme on Piano just to get me a little bit more excited

So, soladrin,when leaving the starting dungeon, can you fast travel to any of the major cities or not?

Nope, you must travel there first.

Ah, damn
Were on the map do you start?
If its true that ya can join Imp. Legion, I will have to walk to the far north...

So there is a 12 hour stream of skyrim here if you guys are bored at work like I am, nice thing to play in the background.

YES!

That rap is fething epic.

Daedalus, why did you do that?

I already got it fixed. If you have issues with graphics on your Xbox360 and you installed the game to the hard drive, just uninstall and install it back on. Fixes it all up.

Spoiler:

The companions, while being the warrior guild, is made up of werewolves

Yeah, my first random Dragon encounter I nearly pooped myself. I heard the roar and immediately started spinning in circles to find it. Then I got my fireball from killing it and THE WORLD WAS SO MUCH BETTER! I found a third voice power also, it seems almost useless though.

As for Werewolf, I wasn't sure if I wanted to become one or not, but I decided to go ahead and go for it. I have no regrets, I will probably cure it later on though, just to see how Vampirism is.

No support for werewolf/vampire hybrids?

Sad times.

It's okay, Corpses.

Some mod or other will soon fix it.

And probably allow you to run around naked with them too.

I'm going to get this for my younger brother as a Christmas gift that way I can play it too.

Whirlwind sprint is a gift from the gods.

Shout that pretty much jumps you 50 feet forwards, great for a warrior like me

Haven't tried it yet, I just assumed there wasn't.

It is on the To Do List

I'm one for keeping my characters focussed, so I won't be touching any other guild with my warrior.

After this (and finishing the main quest). I'll be making my sneaky marksmen dude for thieves guild and dark brotherhood. :3

And then we are off to achievement hunting (and hopefully some sweet DLC).

I do the same thing. Mages only do mage guild stuff, warriors are fighters guild and so on. Makes things more interesting and immersive

I always make a jack of all trades/ collect everything file first, then roleplay characters after in which I stick to one thing and one or two guilds after


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh, and are the guilds like morrowind where you had to be good at their favored skills to advance?

I have a sneaky marksman with some melee ability, I fit in to quite a few guilds at the moment. Gonna see how their quest lines play out.

I can't wait until skyrim releases. Mom wont let me go to midnight release though ='( ( School night) I will have to decide when I get it, thinking dark elve sneaky marksmen, but might go Argonian warrior.

I'm pretty much always a Battlemage or Sorcerer variant. Heavy arms, devestating Magicka. Might try with a Khajiity ice magus again...
