  1. It's possible to wear 4 items (chest, ring, necklace, head) that can each reduce magica use of a certain magic school by 25% (stacking the effect to 100%), thereby making spells in that school free to cast. This is probably very useful for mages (esp. destruction school). Although you'll have to have some grand soul gems, 100 enchanting and 5/5 Enchanter perk.
  2. RIP Sergio Scaglietti Ferrari 250 GT California. Fuckin' beautiful car.
  3. Pro tip: If you're into enchanting, make sure you do The Black Star quest (slight spoiler, but not really)
  4. Yeah that's also the problem with the smithing/enchanting training, although you do get better armour and weapons. That's why I try to balance my smithing/enchanting with my block/one-hand/heavy armour skills.
  5. Don't sell any enchanted items you find, disenchant them instead. The item will disappear but you gain the knowledge of the enchantment that you can use over and over again. If you have two of the same enchantments (e.g Magica regenerates 50% faster OR Magica regenerates 100% faster), it makes no difference as to which you disenchant, you gain the enchantment for Magica regenerates X% faster. So just sell the most valuable one and disenchant the other. I'm at the point now where I don't bother looting items unless they're very valuable/rare, I just go into dungeons to kill shit. Also, try and get some deadric artifacts, they kick ass and the associated quest lines are awesome too.
  6. So I discovered a new trick for making loads of money and increasing your smithing and enchanting skills. Buy/find as much iron ore, iron ingots, leather and leather strips as you can. Convert any iron ore to iron ingot and any leather to leather strips. Go to the furnace and make as many iron daggers as possible. Each one uses 1 iron ingot and 1 leather strip. This is good because all smithing gives the same amount of XP. So there is no difference in XP between making an iron dagger or ebony armour, so you might as well make the shittiest/cheapest stuff. Once you have loads of iron daggers, gather/buy filled soul gems, preferably shit ones like common and lesser etc. Go ahead and enchant all of your iron daggers, or as many as you can. Experiment with different enchantments to see which gives the most value to your dagger, I found that absorb health gave my iron dagger a value of around 600, which I could sell for 200. If you have about 30 daggers you can easily make 6000 coin, the cost of purchasing all the stock would only be a fraction of this.
  7. I don't want any information until a month before release. I can't physically or mentally control the anticipation a game like this will give me. I may implode if they sustain promotion for 9 months.
  8. In oblivion you would lose health from the sun, but otherwise I think it increased your speed and strength or something. Sounds a bit shit in skyrim. Werewolf gives you immunity to disease, only downside is you don't get the 10% XP increase from being well rested. And everyone tells you that you smell of wet dog.
  9. Woah, looks like you're fucked there. Do the effects of the vampire blood increase gradually over time (a la Oblivion) or is it just fully active from the instant you're infected?
  10. Invisibility spell/potion? Or you could try sneaking around at night. I'm a werewolf. Werewolf > Vampire (fuck twilight for gayin this shit up)
  11. Who did you follow in Helgen? I ran a couple of characters through Helgen just so I would be through the tutorial when I wanted to start a new character. My Redguard is Imperial, but for everyone else, I went Stormcloak. I just can't see any reason to join the Empire, they're a bunch of assholes. I think I ran toward the stormcloak to attack him and realised I had unintentionally taken sides in a civil war, and the wrong side at that. But I have the choice to join either side, I just think Ulfric is an asshole.
  12. A stormcloak... Being a Redguard I don't really know which side to take. At the moment i've remained pretty neutral, but the assholes in Windhelm are starting to make me hate the nords.
  13. I've found that orcish weapons aren't actually that strong, the armour is though. I think elven weapons are stronger, better yet, improved Skyforge steel.
  14. I'm such a pussy when it comes to fighting magic, feels like my armour doesn't do anything! I'm gonna have to enchant my armour and get that block perk.
  15. I'm probably going to stop pre-ordering, you can never trust the postal service in this country! Getting a game like this even a day late would be disastrous!
  16. I'm having withdrawal symptoms, not played it today. What level are you guys an what equipment you rockin'?
  17. So I like to get naked and equip myself with all my loot that I want to sell in town (in order to carry as much as possible). So it's not uncommon to see a naked Redgaurd running around Whiterun. I'd just sold as much as I could, due to the merchants running out of money, and decided I would go to the inn to see if they would buy any items from me. So a naked Redguard walks into a pub. A complete stranger asks me if I would like a drinking contest, if I win he'd give me a magical staff. A Redguard never backs down from a challenge! One down, two down, three down... pass out. I awaken in a temple in Markarth. Apparently I somehow travelled from Whiterun to Markarth whilst drunk. If you don't know where Markarth is, take a look on your map. I cleaned up the mess I made, paid off the priestess and she told me I might find the stranger in Rorikstead. And so, a naked Redgaurd with nothing but misc items and a price-reducing necklace sets off on a journey to find a stranger who had probably spiked his drink. And raped.
  18. In year 10 I pushed this paki kid and called him bitch tits cause he was being a little cunt. During lunch, him and all his 'cousins' came to beat me up. They didn't though, luckily my friends had my back!
  19. Being an adventurer is hard work! Too many people want shit done.
  20. Crap: I like to volunteer. Good: I enjoy meeting new people and making a difference through volunteering. Crap: I like to play football with my mates. Good: I enjoy playing football as it allows me to exercise leadership and communication skills as well as relieving stress. etc. Basically, you can always put a spin on things to make you sound better than you really are.
  21. I've started trying to improve my smithing and enchantment skills now. I really need to make myself stronger against the elements and magic. I can pretty much kill anything that attacks me with just brute force (except giants and mammoths!). I'm rolling around in exquisite dwarven armour but I look forward to making my enchanted dragon armour one day.
  22. What level were you guys when you fought the ice troll? I couldn't kill him directly so I had to do multiple arrow sneak attacks to take him out. Fighting ice trolls is harder than dragons! Also, what character builds do you guys have and do you ever play in 3rd person? I actually enjoy playing in 3rd person sometimes, especially if i'm fighting multiple enemies.
  23. Don't kill the fuckin' chicken.
