With the awesome distraction of getting "Find Dragon Shout Words" quests from that Arngrin Greybeard dude on top of the mountain. Some of them are weak and easy (outdoor ones where you just have to climb a mountain, kill a dragon and get the word), but others send you through cool dungeons. Took out one of those Dragon Priests doing that last night. Kind of a fun little quest, since you had to collect three dealies in the dungeon and then bring it back to a ghost to set up the fight. Can't remember the name, but it was somewhere west of Falkreath in the mountains.
This was good. Very good.OneBuckeye;1057658 wrote:[video=youtube;YEMD28MMtNg][/video]
My guy's gotten way too powerful for most things. Priests still can challenge me, though, because they can stay alive long enough to really put damage on me. The one I had the most trouble with was the one in Labyrinthian. Had to use an Ultimate Healing potion to get through that one.pnhasbeen;1057669 wrote:That last priest was tough.

I got about half of Mages, and most of Thieves guild to go. All of the Main story line and the Civil War to go as well. I'm somewhere in the 120 hour rage, no idea how at 75 Mr Feeny had completed all that the quests.Heretic;1057662 wrote:Finished the Mage college stuff last night.

Possibly by focusing on the main quests and stuff. I know I did 2-3 huge loops around the world doing nothing but whatever quests random people gave me that I came across and was near 90 or so hours before I put any effort into starting any actual questline.Commander of Awesome;1057990 wrote:I got about half of Mages, and most of Thieves guild to go.

That's a problem with this game I believe. By the time I had 100 in a destruction/conjuration/blacksmith/enchanting and ready to make the sweet armor, I don't really use those abilities anymore because to level I have to level other stuff... like 1h, 2h, bows, etc. So now I don't use my ultra powerful stuff as to level more I gotta use other talents. It seems like a flaw in the design of the game. The flaw being that you can only level by making skills higher. So once you get your preferred skills up you have to start using other skills instead. It kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion.Heretic;1057674 wrote:My guy's gotten way too powerful for most things.

I started the game doing the main quest for a few hours...Then decide to roam around going into caves and talking to people in town and doing stuff for them...I've done a lot of the quests like "take the sword to the guy at Winterhold", or "bring 2 flawless gems to some guy in Riften". I got to a point where I had like 30 open misc things under 'misc' and since I had already played like 40 hours at that point, I was able to fast travel all around and knock a ton of them out at once...Commander of Awesome;1057990 wrote:I got about half of Mages, and most of Thieves guild to go.

You mean where you do a bunch of quests in various towns like forging ledgers and stealing things from houses and then, when you've done 5 (I think) in a city, you get a quest that makes the guild influential in that city? I've gotten 3/4 cities done and, last night, finished what I think are the final two I have to do in Solitude to get its mission. At least I hope so...it's getting tiring to cancel jobs until one of the two gives me one in Solitude.OneBuckeye;1059098 wrote:Doing all the Theives guild missions after the main theives questline takes awhile.

). The last few days I have started playing a lot again, but this is my first "real" RPG I have played so it took me a little while to decide how I wanted to peruse things. No class tomorrow, so its looking like a beer and Skryrim night.
I'm at 10 days off now....Been playing Rayman Origins (awesome game -- total steal at it's current $20 sale price).Commander of Awesome;1063753 wrote:Picked the game up after a about 6 days off.

Dwarven ruins can be fun...if there's a good plot quest there. I liked the one in Markarth where you gradually find the results of a previous expedition. Or the one west of Riften where you get the quest to return a lexicon there and see the ghosts of the previous explorers. But if you don't have that kind of thing going on, you're just in huge dungeons that drag a bit.Commander of Awesome;1063753 wrote:Picked the game up after a about 6 days off.

I'm totally sick of the COD series, but MW3 is much different. I'm loving it on the 360, was also a big fan of bad company 2.Commander of Awesome;1064120 wrote:I dismissed BF3, but over the weekend I saw someone playing it on the computer and looked decent. Not a MW3 that I thought it was. If I played comp video games I would give it a look.
