I accidently angered a giant whilst firing around 9000 firebolts at a dragon flying over me (I missed with all, dragon laughed and left).

It took a long time of walking backwards with Frostbite spraying at it to end it.

Kinda waiting a few months so I can toy with mods, one of the great joys of the elder scrolls...

Ha. Early levels sucked, but now my mage wields godlike power. There's a flash of light, a crack of thunder that could split stone, and then a troll's corpse flies three hundred feet.

Trolls for me aren't a big deal. I ran into an ice troll on my way up the 10 billion steps to the graybeard house. He was way up on a rock, so I shot him with a sneaky arrow to get him to come down, then when he forgot about me, I snuck up with my dagger and 2 quick swings took him down before he knew what hit him.

I was doing a quest where some hag in the woods wanted to marry me and had a wedding ring I had to get back, and a dragon jumped us.. started hitting it and it took off and landed on top of 2 giants and 2 mammoths, who promptly killed it for me, and I snuck up behind them and got a free dragon soul for their trouble. I went back to the hag and she was glitched, and wouldn't finish talking to me for the quest, so I killed her and took her wedding ring, quest done.

The troll of the umpteen steps was annoying as hell for me, it just wouldn't die. It took me and a passer by to kill it, and the passer by died. My arrows seemed to just bounce off it.

cant top that! ^^

pix or GTFO!

Also I thought the vampire looked like she was 10 so wouldnt that be lesbian necrophilic paedophilic vampire babe?

Not understanding the complaints about dual wielding. At the start it's slow yes, but once yet get some perks in (mainly the stamina reducers and +% speed), you can just combo power chop stuff to death. Coupled with whirlwind sprint I can take anything down before it can even shoot at me.

2h nord with heavy armour with restoration (always seem to never have health pots on me).. the feeling of 25% chance of decapitation is amazing. Only issue i've had is gone from whirlwind sprint and the upgraded shout which throws people into ragdolls 10m up in the air. Sprint power critical attacks work wonders as well

Just got ice form, instant freeze people, it's awesome.

This is why everyone -has- to buy it for PC, and not for PS or Xbox.
Consoles are just so boringggg, stuck the way they are.
PC for versatility, yay!!!

Xboxs are cheap...

And mods don't have achievements.

I used to be all about PC gaming.. not anymore. Consoles = playing on the sofa = happy back.

... you can play this game on the sofa with a wireless controller if you really want, and hooking up a computer to a TV isn't hard.

In fact, the PC controllers are probably better with more customizable buttons.

Maybe, but there's also no Mac version, so I'm stuck with the PS3 version anyway

Ah yes, poor unfortunate mac users.

So do you have skyrim yet mel? or are you stuck in the wanting void like me?

Stuck for now. My last purchase was Arkham City and I won't get another one until at least after xmas.

Yikes...

I'm getting mine on the 26th.

To hell with achievements! where are the precious times gone that games were about the GAME...?

The "Oblivion games" are OK on the console but if you are a pro you play on the PC. Like a pro.

This. Achievements are supposed to be a surprising reward and an afterthought when it comes to a game, not something to take away from the gaming experience for a number that means nothing.


I play on Xbox though because I can't browse Dakka while playing Skyrim on my Computer. well I can, but it's harder.

Fixed

And for me, Achievements are a fun way to get all of my moneys worth out of a game.

And the point is, mods don't add enough for me since I don't stick to one game anymore like the good old days and can't be bothered to come back later.

Why do you want to browse Dakka while you play? XD
I also multitask a lot, but when I play a game, I really play the game...
But if you really want to, steam overlay is the way to go

I'm watching tv(2 tv's next to each other ftw), listening to music, browsing dakka, playing an MMORPG and skyrim at the same time.

Multitask much?

I couldn't do that - when I play rpgs I close everything else on my computer, turn off the lights and draw the curtains for maximum immersion.

It's one of those little awesome things that come with having AD(h)D

Anyone else getting ROFLstomped by the following creatures?

Spoiler:

Trolls: They regen to fast so I can't kite them, and I don't have enough health to stand and hack away at them.

Giants: I'm fairly certain they will one shot you always, I only killed one but with massive kiting using the Redguard's Adrenalin, and the Ice Freeze Thu'um.

At higher levels you can butcher trolls easily.

Same with giants...unless they come with mammoths.

At lower levels giants can one shot you, and ice trolls will murder you.


Anyway, my first character was a duel war-axe wielding argonian clad in heavy armor.
And it was badass...but so SLOW!
Bloody mages kept nuking me at range...but then I got whirlwind sprint. Hilarity ensued.

That ice troll on the way to High Hrothgar the first time forced me to turn back. After going back up I drank a potion of true shot and poisoned a buch of arrows and shot it about eighty times until it finally died. WHile my friend, playing on his laptop at the same time, drank a potion of invisibility and snuck past. Why didn't I think of that?

Lol, I just got on my horse and rode right past him.
