Nice, this is my current character Glenda...she likes ancient weapons because an ancient Nord Hero Bow (Legendary) only weighs 7, compared to a Daedric that weighs 18.

*waves at Donna*

Love your avatar!

I also love the Ancient Nord stuff - mostly because it looks cool, might be my favorite sword design in the game and the rest of it's not bad either. And I've gone through entire games using nothing but Ancient Nord bows, Supple Ancient Nord bows, and then the Nord Hero bow if available. I tend to stockpile the bows, they are free and plentiful and I love to smith them up and give them to followers as well.

Wonder if Donna is as obsessed with Ulfric as FK...

Thought this was pretty interesting video, talking about how the series has changed:

(Now, don't get me wrong, I like Skyrim. Just found the video interesting.)

That's a trick question. Nobody is as obsessed with Ulfric as FK.

Dowly · 02-20-13, 10:25 AM

Yes.. remembering all those videos I've seen from you, I would have to agree.

Remember the days when you didn't have to watch a truck commercial before you saw your video?

Anyway, the guy starts with that whole 'adolescent fit of mindless hysteria' quip, which is an establishment of the fallacy that if you don't agree with what I am saying it is clearly because you are too immature and choleric to really get it. I normally stop watching or reading someone's argument right there. However I did continue watching, more out respect for Dowly's assessment of the video than the argument of the video's author.

That being said, I do agree with much of what the author says. Games in general have moved from a PC-based to a console-based marketing scheme. Fortunately for those of us that play on PC, we can mod that older complexity back into the games. And yes, Oblivion was absolutely the weakest game in the series. I love Oblivion, but Bethesda tried some things in that game that simply didn't work well, and were corrected or restored in Skyrim.

We should be able to fail quests, factions should matter (New Vegas got that one totally right), and NPCs should totally be pissed off at you and refuse to interact with you. I am not a 100% completionist, so if I am in with the Dark Brotherhood and Volkihar Clan, I assume that it wouldn't be in my character's nature to join the Companions or enroll in the College of Winterhold.

One thing that was fantastic in New Vegas that I wish was included in Skyrim was the effect that apparel had. If you walked around Henderson wearing your Legion armor, you're going to get shot at. Conversely, strolling up to the docks in Cottonwood Cove wearing NCR ranger armor is a bad idea. In Skyrim, I can ride up to Whiterun on my red-eyed demon horse in broad dayling, stroll through the city wearing Dark Brotherhood armor and still have unrestricted access to the Jarl. "Hi, I'm a cold-blooded murderer from the Dark Brotherhood. Can I come in?" "Yeah, sure, welcome."

Oh, and I am always turning off the quest markers. An option to disable them completely would be fantastic.

I started a new Nord character to run through the Dawnguard and Dragonborn expansions. I've completed the Companions questline and I'm having a TON of fun as a werewolf. Going all the way back to Bloodmoon, I've never played a TES title as a werewolf or vampire.

Be interested to see what sort of mods everyone is running with here.

My loadout is this:

There is really no way to run Skyrim WITHOUT a miriad of mods.

I got home yesterday and decided to get round to playing Xbox Skyrim for the first time, I didn't know what the hell i was doing in game control wise, fonts were to small creating a character was impossible. my melee was terrible so i quit, and started Hallo 4 - new game in easy mode and it was easy.

NO! You must go back to Skyrim!

Squint or get closer to the screen to see the font! You can't miss Skyrim. You have to play it past the beginning.

Skybird · 03-29-13, 05:23 PM

Has meanwhile any mod or patch or cheat appeared that unlocks the Dragonborn main quest even when not having started the Skyrim main quest? I just cannot get myself to embark on that thing once again. Just don'T want no dragons at all, making my comrades wasting their precious arrows headlessly with which I equipped them for costly coins or for which I consumed my precious ebony ore for.

Ironic, but still. Dragons have no place in my Skyrim experience.

Stand by the TV then! It's that good!

You only have to stand up when you create your character. After that, have fun.

There's you a solution!
