I broke it at some point while doing Glory of the Dead. I talked to Aela at some point during that quest and she gave me Retrieval. Obviously I can't go find the fragment of the axe if I have the complete axe in my hand. :-?

I'm restarting a battlemage character anyways. Maybe I'll just go with that instead.

I just came across my favorite character from all of TES.

Sheogorath!

Just as nutty and hilarious as expected, though not as good as the laughs I got from the Shimmering Isles in Oblivion, he was still awesome, chock full of great quotes. I think it was the voice actor, sounds different. Not as Scottish.

I just looked through the art book that came with the collectors edition. Some of the early Hagraven ideas are quite grotesque. One idea was to have them wearing "meat" skirts with bits of eyes, ears, mouths, etc. Kind of like Hannibal Lector. Another idea was to have their heads look like baby birds. To think they could've been creepier than they actually turned out.

It is still Wes Johnson, but he does sound different. I imagine he should, as the Champion of Cyrodiil becomes the new Sheogorath at the end of the Shivering Isles expansion.

Ahh yeah ok. Maybe it was more an issue with my expectations (based on Shmmering isles, a fleshed out expansion who features the prince of lunacy exclusively) rather than a relative throwaway puzzle quest as represented here.

I actually got happy when I saw him. He was a sadistic hoot, and one of the more interesting of the daedric gods. As evil as he is portrayed, he was always fair in mortal dealings. He justs seems to me more out for a laugh, than to hurt. Just sometimes hurt happens in the process of a laugh..Jeez I sound like him now. :)

You know you're a tough one when companion ghosts run from you to cower in a corner. :haha:

I think I shall spam this thread with Skyrim screenshots now rather than the screenshots thread...it's getting a little overloaded. :haha:

Sadly, the combination of the gate, a Draugr Scourge and one of my fireballs spelt the end of Uthgerd the Unbroken...who shall forever be remembered as Uthgerd the somewhat broken but we can still put her remains together and give her a decent burial site.

Incidentally, after firing countless waves of fire, arrows, lightning bolts and everything else I can think of at this Scourge, what did I kill it with? The same trap that Uthgerd got stuck in...

I love this game! :rock:

I never use horses anymore. After purchasing one and shelling out 1000 of my hard-earned Septims, I am riding along happily. I see some bandits in a fort ahead of me, so I dismount and run forward to engage. My horse, in a fit of suicidal rage, charges ahead of me in order to attack the bandits and is promptly shot so full of arrows that his corpse looked like a porcupine. Of course, after that it was beast form time and they fled in vain as I mauled them to death, but I was still out a lot of money in the end.

I walk now.

Probably for the best, hopefully a patch or DLC will add horse mounted combat...I'm not expecting Mount and Blade style combat, but not needing to get off your horse to hit the bad guys would be nice, and would also make a point to that pretty armour DLC that they'll undoubtedly be flogging other than to Pimp My Horse (TM).

I've also noticed that the view automatically switches to Third person and seems rather stubborn to leave it whilst on horseback, is there a way to stop that? I prefer first person views for everything wherever possible.

I also would love the first-person view on horseback again. It was handy, as you could swivel your head while keeping your horse moving down the road. Mounted in Skyrim, I find it much more difficult to see potential threats. Damn spiders are always sneaking up on me that way.

Honestly, I am okay with not having mounted combat. All I want is the horse to have a 'passive mode'. I left him far enough away that he was not going to be attacked, but as soon as the bad guys aggro'd me he was all piss and vinegar. And then he was dead. Last horse I'll ever buy. :x

Err... isn't that what the thread (the screenshot one) is for? To keep screenshots
in one place and the discussion in another? :hmmm:

I'd be ok with (once again) not having mounted combat if Bethesda would patch
out all the wolves and skeevers. I mean, those things are so darn annoying!
They can barely even hurt you at level 1, so what's the point of having them
around attacking you? :nope:

:hmmm: True...but I just feel bad burying it in Skyrim screenshots...but...


:hmmm:

I like the wolves. As soon as I hear the howl, I go to sneak mode, creep into position for a good arrow shot and take them out. Great way to get some sneak and archery experience.

I just finished a mission I wasn't intending to do. :haha: It was the mission to steal frost back. I was going to ignore it until I stumbled upon the place where he was kept and was attacked by the mercenaries out front. Would've left them alone if they had left me alone.

Edit: Several of the companions are over here in Riften o.0
