okay, good.

somebody was telling me about a 10g download.

I didn't check the actual size of my preload but I know I didn't download anything when the unlock came.

What a fantastic game. Got it on PS3 as I have no PC to run it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So just killed the dragon at Whiterun and been told by the Jarl to go find the whitebeards, is that part of the main story? I think I'm gonna make my way to the Mage place in Winterhold, I'm loving the magic side of the game so far. Level 5 and spent 2 perks in destruction magic

Umm..this game is really fun. The environment is emersive for me, though I tend to suspend disbelief completely if i am charmed, and charmed I am with this game. On the buggy side, I have had 2 crashes so far, thats in about 3 hours of gameplay, so...I hope they fix that, I have a pretty decent system.

I decided to explore the mountains around Helgen Keep instead of crossing the river right away (no need for spoilers, this is beginning game stuff). Suffice to say that I have found a couple dungeons and bandit camps here and there, some traps were avoided and some were sprung.

I have been trying a combo of different things to see what style of play I like. Lately I have been sneaking around in light armor and when I end up in a fight, I have a one handed mace in my right and fireball in my left. I flame them up and the bash their heads in. One handers seem to be the way to go if you want the magic/combat combo. With bow or any two handed weapon, you cant have a spell ready to go, and must delve into the menus to get one ready. I was really hoping for a stealthy mage/archer with conjuration. First conjure pets for tanking then use bow to cream them. Stealth perks allow you to hide in plain sight and one of them lets you hide in the middle of combat so that distant enemies loose you and must re-find you. Perfect for ranged stealthers. Oh well, I think the menu management might be too tedious for that play style unless someone has any ideas how to make it easier.

Amazing game so far, just wish they gave me some favorite equipment setups tied to the number keys, that would be awesome.

EDIT: I seem to keep crashing to desktop in that ice cave above River-whatever, just up from Helgen. I just keep crashing over and over again in there. I guess I will have to go down and maybe come back some other day, but the place is littered with bodies and I know the loot will be good...

EDIT 2: The cave is called Bonechill Passage, anyone else having a hard time with that one? heres a thread with other people having a hard time: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615805-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/60961501

Sounds like you, like me until about 3 hours ago, haven't found the favorites menu. Select a spell or item and hit F to favorite it then you can hit Q to select from your favorites.

My first dragon kill was with the whole guard regiment, the second with a follower (I'd say companion but they're a faction and would cause confusion). Yet when I take on a Sabre Cat I usually die, and the same with a Frost Troll. Seems slightly weird given that dragons are supposed to be the most powerful.

Other than that, this game is awesome. I saw a dragon kill a giant then it flew above me a few times before flying off. My follower died somewhat earlier to a vampire and about 4 skeletons so I guess the dragon saw me as not worthy and flew off after showing off in the sky. Good times.

posting again just to say DAMN this is a great game!

I thought everyone was ready. I was wrong. Still waiting for one hero to join the skyrim quest. Well, it'll be more fun when there are more of us.

I have a good question. How is the crime reporting system etc? Oblivion was pretty atrocious, with instant telepathic guards, who could always find you etc.

Those Nords need to learn some patience.

From what I hear, the telepathy waves can now be blocked by buckets.

Hm... so far my only experience with it was accidentally loosing a shout in a crowded room, which knocked five people over and resulted in the guards pounding me into a thin red paste without any dialog but that was in the Jarl's throneroom so its understandable that they wouldn't be kind and polite when I just accident-shouted the king over a balcony... 

I will go test it out as soon as I can and let you know.

Are important characters like Jarl's still imortal?

I'll test that too. The Jarl didn't die from the fall, but I sure died from his guards' reaction.

I'd imagine that they're still immortal so you can't break important quest lines, but I will tell you later today yes or no.

As much as I'd love for them to be mortal, without a fully simulated heirarchy and stuff, it'd really suck if the jarl dies, and forever more that area is leaderless.
