Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I know the bit you mean. I did unrelenting force and knocked the gem out of the top.

is this the thread for single guys

No.

soon maybe

pretty sure this is the one you are looking for

skyrim : lj :: dark souls : dj martian

lol so single.

I used the ethereal shout and just casually strolled through.

btw I can play really well for a while and then get completely stuck on some bullshit little thing like this. probably why i never get very far in RPGs.

soon maybe

Only if you ban girls from thread and if you try that I will dual-wield firebolt you to a crisp, n'wah.

/rpg

not sure if you can you be single and dual wield

when I firebolt wield with my left hand it feels like a stranger is firebolt wielding.

try it with a frost spell and you will never need to leave the house again

i'm a level 19 Nord with a one-armed Orc Axe and I can't make a dent in Morekai or whatever. Frustrating..

glitch! he got stuck on the staircase and didn't do anything so I just pelted him with arrows from above. <3 u Bethesda

I got attacked by a random nord for no reason last night, coming away from the "gate to the rest of tamriel that you can't go through until the DLC comes out". Maybe she thought I was invading skyrim or something?

she didn't have a name or a job like most other denizens, just "Nord"

Ran past Markarth as a werewolf and scared a couple of guards, went back there hours later and I had 1000 bounty. How did they know it was me?? I was incensed.

Just started my first dwemer dungeon and I there's something about it which I'm finding really effectively creepy, in a way no other bits of the game have been.

Yeh, the steampunk Dwemer dungeons are pretty spooky. I'm still confused how my arrows manages to do any damage to a mechanical ball of metal.

loooooool at parts of that

The must have Skyrim mods for PC so far, in my opinion. No script extenders required, just drag-n-drop into your Data folder, though some text editing of Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini improves matters as well. I haven't included texture upscales, adult, or comedy mods, though I use some of all. Gameplay reworks and significant expansions are still in their infancy.

Categorized Favorites Menu
Now you can find everything without scrolling endlessly. Improves experience of battles dramatically.

A Quality World Map - With Roads
Pathfinding is much easier when paths are visible. Adding line sMapCloudNIF=0 to your My Documents/My Games/Skyrim/skyrim.ini file also recommended.

Colored Map Markers
Both map and compass are less needlessly monochromatic.

No More Blocky Faces
Fixes the compression artifacts on the normal maps used for all faces.

Believable Hair
Hair to match default face resolution.

Realistic Water Textures
Huge improvement over default, though the dl is a bit heavy on alternate textures for customization.

Realistic Ragdolls and Force
Draugr flying across the room from the final arrow, or the giant's spaceflight program, were not immersive for me. Alternative options for tuning ragdoll weight to your preference.

interesting.

always makes me wonder why stuff is like that in the first place...

XBox360 was the main target device for Skyrim. Given that user demographic, control scheme, and the space limitations of 3.7 GB (compressed) for data to suit a 5 year old console, a lot of compromises were made.

Given how users dramatically improved Oblivion and Fallout 3 in the years after their release, buying this on PC was a no-brainer, though my 3 year old hardware can't cope with some user texture upscales. It will be fun revisiting this (and FO) once I've rebuilt my computer to more modern standards in a year or so.

Do the PC mods work with Steam?

Yes. Skyrim's engine is verified by Steam, but it will simply use any user content in the /Data subfolder rather than default content in the .bsa cabinet files.

super jealous r/n!

FWIW, I haven't owned a dedicated game console in 20 years, so I've missed out on a lot, too. They never catered to proper wargaming and RPG as the PC market did. The surprising issue is how long Microsoft has milked a system with 512 mb system memory (and Sony a system with only 256 mb) now that memory is cheap.

reaaaaally wish they would add this for the consoles in a patch. it just seems so obvious.

You mean like how it seems obvious that your follower shouldn't stand in doorways blocking your exit, or the alchemy shop woman shouldn't still be surprised you're an alchemist after you've been in there 1000 times, or...

yeah, but those things seem like more complicated technical problems (collision detection, NPC routing, NPC AI logic, etc), whereas adding categories to the favorites menu seems like something that should take a professional programmer approximately 4 and a half minutes to implement.

killed a Hargraven... got to a massive tree in the middle of a hippy spa. some spriggans appeared and then I ran for it....

Spriggans are hard as nails right? or is it cause I am a lowly level 9.

Spriggans are a pain at lower levels. I did the same thing and ran like hell.

I tried to get married this evening. The minister at the temple scheduled the ceremony for the following day from dawn till dusk, so I waited in Riften until about 5am. Got togged up and headed to the temple only to find my fiance running out in a state of some distress. I went in and found the corpses of Lydia and another follower sap who I sacrificed to some god lying in the pews. I think I'd be upset too.

How do you meet a potential wife?

iirc You do some stuff at the temple of Mara in Riften which gets you the Amulet of Mara. Ask the male priest in the temple about traditions of marriage, and then if you wear the amulet various NPCs will ask if you're interested in them. It helps if you do a minor task for your intended target.

I got married to tonight too, to Mjoll the Lioness. Hubba Hubba. Didn't get so much as a snog out of her though, she just ran off back to my house and decided to give up her life of adventuring (with me) so she could set up a little shop instead. I got a new conversation option with her though: "would you mind cooking something for me?". Unbelievable!

Oh man I'm stuck in some quest where I have to sneak into a party unarmed but I seem to have failed to give my inside contact anything to sneak in for me! This will sorely challenge Queenie the Orc

You can always just roast some dude with flames and steal his shit.

But anyway, whatever was in your inventory when you started the mission is in a chest in the larder near the kitchen.

Yeah I found the chest but there's nothing in it. Or maybe just a dagger. Will try flaming a guard.

The stuff you gave the dude in the tavern is in the chest; everything else is being held for you by Delphine and you don't have access to it.

Anybody beaten this yet? I captured a dragon and rode him to Alduin' fortress/nest/whatever, but then I died in battle. Am I near the end? If so, I kind of want to hold off on this so I can run around and do more things. Also, recommendations for other fun escapades? I'm archmage of the college and I'm head of the thieves guild. Anything else along those lines of long-ish quests? I collected all the blood for Septimus and the blue orb light thingy said he'd be back or something but that hasn't really played out. I've only clocked 46 hours! It can't be over yet...

yeah you are close. i am not even sure if you can go back from dragon ride land until you finish.

Might load a saved game from before the capture then.

Have you done the black hand assassination stuff? Probably my fave quest line.

I haven't! I've not even discovered all of the major cities yet, I don't think. Where do I start that quest?

Walk around windhelm, someone will mention that some kid is performing the black sacrament, you'll get a misc quest to see what all that's about. Set it as active then follow the indicator to the kid's house. Voila.

Yeah, I'm definitely going back to a pre-dragon capture save point and just running around the world for a while. I even enjoy clearing bandits out of ruins, which is the kind of silly side-quest I never have the patience for in games like this.

The quest that begins when the lizard dude in Solitude tells you to turn out a lighthouse light is awesome.
