Bring some means of curing disease. I didn't, and I didn't notice the little notification when it flashes up on the top left of the screen. By the time I caught on to what was going on, my problems became more permanent. Now my two best friends are named 'sneak' and 'lockpick'.

I'm actually considering calling in sick tomorrow just so I can play it more. Lol. It's a very long time since I felt like that about a game.

I'll be doing that on Friday.

Yeah, same lake. There's a little ruined tower on the shore line beyond it which I'd reached when it attacked me. Now I'm not sure whether this is a random dragon spawn or not because the second time I fought it I had done the dungeon on the island, completed the quest for the girl's remains and gone back to town first.

I found the Island, but there was no Dragon. I continued east until I got to Riften, on the way I passed a Dragon Burial site(Alduin awakens the dragons from them one by one, this particular site was missing the dragon in question(you can tell by the crater in the center)), so It's definitely in the area. When I was heading down from High Hrothgar I did have one fly over me, so I think it may be the same one, I just need to encounter him somewhere in the area.

Yosh, this game is going to be an awesome time sink for me. I barely scratched the surface last night during my first session and I fell in love with the world. Good bye Battlefield 3, you've been a fun game but Skyrim is my new drug.

Planning on making my current character a 2 handed beserker. Got my first power word and beat the Drudge king/captain, whatever he is. Looking forward to heading out into the wider world to have some more fun.

Spellbreaker is pretty cool in this one, both a physical shield you wield and it casts ward when you use it.

In other news I ran into an enemy that was nearly 100% immune to magic... and I'm playing a mage who refuses to even carry with him a dagger, or stoop to the level of a caveman and conjure a sword. Thus I pretty much became a healer while Lydia killed him.

Interesting turn of events as I have been up until now the major damage dealer the tactic thru me off when my spells had zero effect and I had to react lydia couldn't stand toe to toe and fight for long but we over came together like always. epic stories so far.

I wonder if slaying my way through the Thieves guild could be considered an honorable, non-law breaking thing to do.

Hey its your world, Npc's just live in it.

Falkirion · 11-15-11, 10:15 PM

Out of curiosity. Is anyone else running it on a Radeon HD 5970? Its a 2gb card so it should be able to handle ultra right? The set up defaulted to high for me, and even then the frame rate stuttered on the intro. Might bump it up now that I'm in the game proper and see if it still stutters.

I'm more worried about it affecting my infamy.

Edit: Egan, was the dragon in question green, and named Blood Dragon? If so I found him near Shor's Stone(East of Iverstead) and was able to kill him without a problem.

Edit2: Speaking of my Infamy, according to the crime statistic I've assaulted 51 people, and murdered 1, I also apparently have a 1,000 bounty on my head. I wonder who I "murdered".

Spike88 · 11-15-11, 11:37 PM

Just made my first set of Orcish armor. While I don't really care for the looks, I'm getting 84 in armor just from the Main piece alone.

I've started collecting ebony ingots for when my smithing level reaches 60.

Edit: Started a Night to remember quest and stumbled upon a Daedric quest in Marlarth. It's pretty damn creepy, gave me chills, but I'm also playing in a dark room, so that contributed.

The Molag quest line?

Aye, although I didn't kill the Vigil, Lydia did, stabbed him while he was lying on the ground.

For some reason I can't marry Ysolda, haven't gotten the quest for her, despite wearing the amulet of mora. When my girlfriend was playing she got the quest the first time she talked to her, without the Amulet. I guess she just doesn't like me. Any other suggestions for a wife?

Drewcifer · 11-16-11, 02:04 AM

You can go back to riverwood and marry the that Camila girl in the shop where you returned the golden dragon claw. Also Aela the huntress is a fairly attractive wife if your done with the companions quests and you like violent women... lol. There are a few more scattered about, but I can't think of names... there was a lady in tavern somewhere that responded to the amulet but she looked like a dragon sat on her face...

I don't really care for Camila, if she's willing to marry me despite her involvement with the elf, she's not my type. Plus she's not that pretty.

Right now I'm thinking of Mjoll the Lioness or I hear the priestess in the temple of Dibella are marry-able.

Drewcifer · 11-16-11, 12:52 PM

Well from what I gather all the housecarls are marry-able (Yours, not the other Jarls)

But there are a few types of wives, obviously warrior wives Lydia, Aela.

Merchant wives which buy and sell and give you a portion of the gold they make Camila, Ysolda

And then the others i'm not sure..... but it seems basically there is 'trainer wives' and 'merchant wives' and I'm not sure if there is another type.
