So, how viable is a pure mage build?

i dont know about the rest people saying it sucks - for me it rocks. any warriors dont stand a chance, they will never get this close to harm me. they die ages before that. Dragons i kill from far away without sitting ground like an idiot waiting them to come down. Ice Troll? fire + Fire Antroch = what Ice Troll? i Heal myself, i heal my companion, i enchant stuff so they are even more deadly. even in a shity situation i just cast protective spell of great power and conjure myself a nice shinny deadric axe or sword. i travel valleys gathering herbs and souls of monsters follish enough to come close.

The instant you can cast Summon Dremora Lord, you become as god unto men. All fear the Dremora Lord! My tactic for Dragons is basically "Magic them until they're out of the sky, using wards to block their breath attacks. Then summon a Dremora Lord and laugh as it slices them into tiny pieces. If they kill it, just summon a new one."

now, if only one of the modder community would mod in the "create spells" once more...everything would be fine.
really, let me build the terrible THUNDER/FIRE/ICE STORM OF DOOM!
and then enchant my everything.

A stray dog appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the rain-drenched, depressing wilderness. He looked pretty rough and barked constantly, so, moved by Pity, I took him to the Ivarstead Inn and told him to wait by the fire, where it's warm and someone would probably feed him. When I went back later, after becoming a homeowner, he was gone. I was kinda sad.

Team rocket is blasting off again!

Ding!

Can they do it to the PC?

Better question, has anyone already tried to poke the giants when they first started?

yes, i poked them.
with a lunar orc bow.
at  level 6.
the area outside off Whiterun is cleared of giants and mammoths.
Also: the people that were left in the watchtower that was attacked by the fist dragon are gone now, because they decided to melee the giant that didn't fit through their door.
Their armor fetched a nice price.

Is there any safe way to store things before I own my own home? I only have 2000 gold at the moment, and my books are taking up so much room I can't loot anymuch more.

...Hm.. I wonder if I can use companions as barrels even when they're not following me...

I've finally gotten it. I'm going to be the angriest blood thirsty viking ever. Thats all.

[Flying Carcass]

I just had a strange experience. As I was leaving a dungeon, I spotted two wolves ahead of me amidst some bushes. Not a problem for my archer: 2 shots, 2 kills. Yet the battle music still played... I figured there must be a third wolf in the bushes somewhere. I checked behind me and suddenly a dead dragon fell from the sky behind me! As far as I could tell, there was no discern able cause of death, as this was in the middle of no-where and therefore it wasn't shot up by NPCs. Of course, I'm not gonna' cry over a free dragon corpse.

Then, a few minutes later, another dragon appeared and I enjoyed an epic battle over a scenic lake. Yay!



On a side note, I am loving the monsters in this game, especially the dragons and spiders.

I spend maybe 15-20 minutes running from a mammoth as I wanted it's... horny-tooth-thingies (somehow I think my Orc got that whole hunting thing wrong). Finally manage to kill it, continue onwards on my journey. Run into two other mammoths, but I keep my distance so they don't attack. They're trying to walk up a slope, then suddenly one of them just flies a few metres up into the air like he stepped on a trampoline or something, falls down onto the ground again and keels over dead - I suppose from the fall. Made my whole little hunt earlier seem completely unnecessary. Now I only have to learn how to provoke that glitch and I'll never have to fear a mammoth again!

[nenjin]

So Riften is apparently THE place to be if you want to be a bad guy, a viking Zozo, if you will. I think the Thieves' Guild representative says it best. "We're not the Dark Brotherhood, we can't kill them. But...." It's a sort of refreshing take, unlikable yet realistic characters....but kind of unfortunate if you like the TG from Oblivion.

[Sirian]

Soo anyone else meet the chief of the greybeards yet? Pretty cool guy...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I haven't, but I remember his name from the stone tablets when i climbed the 7000 stairs, he should be that renegade dragon who taught humans how to use the Voice. Which is kinda weird, cause the old guy also said that some goddess or saint did that. So it would mean that this dragon is also female, and regarded as a religious figure under another name ?

I just bought a horse, jesus christ the animations for it just seem so...weird.

Mine died from a saber cat. Stupid horse AI and stupid enemy aggro. I didn't reload my save for that though, i figure that fast travel is good enough that i don't need a horse, and exploring on foot makes the world more interesting. He was only really good for one thing : when i got back from a dungeon overencumbered, i would just get on the horse and i could fast travel again.

...Hm.. I wonder if I can use companions as barrels even when they're not following me...

Yes you can do that, but they have a limited capacity unlike chests.

lunar orc bow.

I found the lunar forge (i think ?, it's a regular forge in the silent moon camp, if i remember correctly), but i haven't tried operating it yet, is there something i should know ? I guess it only works at night or something ? Are Lunar weapons vampiric or is it just additionnal damage ? Also If anyone knows how to get the skyforge steel recipes, i'd be interested.

I'm currently kicking about around Winterhold. I like the Jarl's idea of becoming high king, but I can't help but think he is a little deluded. It's awfully bleak out here. I have decided not to tell him about my dalliance with the College, he doesn't seem to like mages very much.

He seems very receptive about potentially making a strange imperial woman Thane of Winterhold just because I went and fetched him a hat that he had lost. I don't suppose I should argue.

If there is one thing I would say about the story progression, is that I am far too important far too quickly. I wanna be a nobody for a bit. Crikey, I was three minutes away from having my head cut off.

Delighted with the game so far though.

I find this bothersome too, I guess the devs hoped we would do random quests for a while before advancing or something. Oblivion forced  you to do stuff before you advanced, TG made you steal before you go ahead etc. Now you rise very quickly, especially in Civil War line.

Yes and Yes.

Meanwhile, I've just fought my first

The Blades-randomized dragon-hunt mission.

I finished MQ but never found these. Where can I get them?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I spoke to the blades woman straight after speaking to the Gold Dragon guy. Para-thingy. Greybeard leader. Take companions to her to become Blades members, and once you have three, she'll sporadically have Dragon hunts for you, locations of Dragons.

You mean you actually do the main quest? Or any quests at all? So far the only quests I'm doing are the ones I find while looting dungeons.
I think I'll finish a few MQ missions soon though, as I need dragons to appear. Just like in Oblivion where I only ever got as far as sealing the gate at Kvatch as that was all you needed unlock most if not all other stuff.

Did anyone else find it odd that (temporary) companions who claim to love you for helping them out keep saying 'What is it, elf..'

[Carcanken]

Is it really worth it to kill Paarthunax? I was asked to kill him, but I really do not want to.
