That sucks, clear out the cache? Did you dl it to your xbox? I've read that causes problems and its best to play it off of the disc.

A bandit camp on the road between between Dragon Bridge and Karthwasten caused the game to freeze 3-4 times before I just sprinted by it and didn't stop for anything. And when doing the dwemer ruins attached to Markarth's castle, it froze a couple times on loading screens while moving between sectors.

Mostly on the loading screens when I am fast traveling or entering or exiting buildings. I am also playing directly off the disc. Shit is really starting to piss me off and make me not want to play.

There comes a point in every man's life (in skyrim) where bears no longer present a problem. That point for me....is level 40. I just pwned a cave full of nothing less than 15 bears.

I'm a werewolf now, so not much bothers me.. Unless they catch me at the right time.

I typically play a few nights a week, late at night, from like 10:30 &#8211; midnight.</SPAN>

Last night, my wife left to go make Christmas cookies with her sisters right after we put our daughter to bed at 8 --- I played from 8 &#8211; 1am, and it was glorious.</SPAN>

I spent a solid hour traveling back and forth to a huge dwarven cave that I cleared out a few nights ago just go haul the solid dwarven metal back and forth to make dwarven ingots and make a ton of stuff to sell and level up smithing --- I&#8217;m up to the mid 50&#8217;s now I believe.</SPAN>

Joined the thieves guild, so now I can sell all of the stolen stuff I have stored in my house. </SPAN>

Did a ton of enchanting/alchemy.</SPAN>

Wrapped up like 3 tiny quests that I had completed, but didn&#8217;t deliver the final items (like collect 10 frost salts and give to this person).</SPAN>


5 hours of play time and I did like 2 legit quests that probably took about 1 hour total. </SPAN>

What the hell was I doing for the other 4 hours?</SPAN>

It's called Machinima. It's been done to characters from lots of video games. Basically they either use in-game mechanics already present or also some form of digital puppetry (make the character do acts they tell it to do through programs) and put together a choreography. Sometimes people create story lines instead. I've never done it nor care how to, so my explanation might be a bit off. But that's my understanding of it.

Here's a really pathetic but informative video on how it's done for World of Warcraft. I'm assuming it's somewhat similar for this game. Just have to get similar websites/programs.

I know right? Some how this game does this. Since I got my smithing up to level 100, I'm been focusing on enchanting. I spent probably a solid hour just last night doing nothing but smithing items in Whiterun to enchant, traveling to Dragon Search to use the mages' enchanting table, seeing the enchanted item to either the mage, or the blacksmiths and repeating.

After you reach level 50, do you stop getting points to increase your skill tress? I know Heretic explained that you can get to level 81, but do you get the skill tree points to go along with it? I've been hoarding my skill tree points the last few level increases because I'm not sure which tree I want to increase.

Oh interesting. I wasn't aware that this was a thing. That's pretty funny, thanks for the info.

Hopefully you don't have any social plans for the next month.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

Gotta binge on smithing soon. It's at 49 and needs to be at 60 to improve enchanted equipment. Most of what I'm wearing is enchanted, so I'm shorting myself 20-40 armor points and 5-10 attack points.

Yes, get on that shit. I eventually bit the bullet and spammed iron daggers to max out. Just traveled to 3 towns and made sure all their iron ingots are belong to me. Then settled in Whiterun for a iron dagger frenzy. Their forge has never seen such mastery at the anvil. I believe I am the best iron dagger maker in all of Skyrim!

I think the day is coming soon where I shall be doing that for enchanting as well so I can make so sick ass dragon gear.

For me, it's kinda a double-edged sword. I need to get smithing up to 60 to improve enchanted weapons...and I need to get perks into enchanting to make good enchantments as opposed to the 14-point fire damage and 3% shock resistance shit I've made in the past.

I did finish Azura's quest last night. With the MANLY strategy of, after getting teleported into the star, quaffing fire and shock resisting potions and then sprinting past the dremoras to the wizard, killing him and then avoiding the dremoras until my ally wizard took me out. PROTIP: Use the wizard in Winterhold, not the priestess of Azura to cleanse the star. This way, it takes black souls instead of regular monster ones. Black souls always are grand. Grand rules all, especially when they're easy to obtain due to all the bandits, forsaken, wizards, vampires, etc. populating the world.

Also started Boethiah's daedric quest. Hope you haven't killed everyone who trusts you yet for that one sword, as you have to take another one out to get this quest started.
