Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

That's the one thing I've done almost none of- pickpocketing. I did meet up with a guy in Riften and finished his tiny quest of looting a strongbox and placing something in someone else's pocket. He told me to meet him at some dive. I figure this is the start of the Thieves Guild quest arc. Something tells me I'll be doing a lot of pickpocketing with them.

I do want to finish all the mage guild quests before joining the thieves though.

My Xbox buddy finished the game last night after 35-38 hours. He said he only did the main story line quests and found a way around the only quest that was bugging out on him.

what a waste IMO....

The whole beauty of the game is its long play value.

He just wanted to finish the main story line quickly. He's going back and doing all the side quests, etc. too.

What are the Dragon Bones and Dragon Scales for? I have killed 2 dragons and have some of these things taking up space in my inventory since they are like 15 weight each.

Excited about this game, but I've got a backlog and I've heard the game has the classic amount of Bethesda glitches. I think I'll wait until April or so when nothing is coming out and things start winding down. A lot of the glitches should be fixed by then.

Store them somewhere. You have to have your Smithing at 100 and then have to buy the perk. It will allow you to create Dragon armor and weapons...or so I've read.

Yep. Tons of glitches. Don't bother. Game sucks!

I experienced my very first glitch the night before last. That's absolutely incredible for a Bethesda game. Had one freeze that required a reset.

Well, I guess I had another one last night- I was in Marketh (sp?) and found a guy with his lower body in a wall. Didn't effect my gameplay as I was still able to talk to him...but it certainly wasn't normal.

Regardless, it's a VAST improvement over the buggy trash heap that was FNV.

Worst game ever...

It really, really is. I absolutely hate it. I'd rather watch Katie Couric than play this game.

Abhorrent.

bite your tongue!! katie couric is hot!

i dated a girl in college who looked just like her.

I've officially lost all faith in your taste in women.

I heard Katie Couric was full of bugs.

i'm beginning to question yours...

I'm guessing the past page or so have been sarcasm due to my laziness and not going back and reading the earlier part of this thread.

Regardless, I need to plat UC3, beat the LA Noire DLC and get Arkham City before I even look at this game.

do the first 2. batman will always be there for you.

Skip all three and come play Skyrim!

Im sure you probably know this already but when you look at the weapons damage rating then see a green number in brackets thats that the total damage the weapon will do inclluding not only enchantments but also your characters skill, and any worn enchantments like a ring that Fortifies Bow, or one handed weapons etc.

Ring not I have a bow that does 60 damager per shot...not including the 3x bonus I get for a sneak attack or any poisons I add to it.

I haven't even drawn a bow yet. Been dual casting flame bolt.

what bow is that? did you craft it to amp up the damage?

So is there any 100% safe way to store your items before you own a house? I don't have the 5,000 gold yet and have 9 dragonbone pieces and something else from the dragons I've killed that is bogging me down big time.

I don't want to just throw them some place assuming they will stick around, then come back later in the game to find they poofed.
