Have you played any of the previous TES games?
Again, this is the first time in the series you actually get an Elder Scroll and use it. The closest the player can ever come to something like that, in any TES game, is in Oblivion, and the interaction there is nowhere near as important as it is in Skyrim. In the Zelda series, the actual character Zelda is in every single game (in some form)--how does comparing the two make any sense?

Look the guy can do whatever he wants with his post. I was just making a recommendation with an explanation to support it. Personally I'd hate to have that part spoiled for me because I was utterly shocked when it happened!

Fair enough.

As an aside, I played Daggerfall in the 90s. It was awesome then too.

That game was the most, by far, buggy application I have ever bought and I literally was unable to play it, it would crash with extreme frequency.

Contrast, now I'm 44 hours into Skyrim on the 360 and still I've had just one lock up, entered one house that had half its walls water, and saw a guy carrying wood through town with the logs very slightly hanging at the tips of his fingers. Those literally account for all the bugs. I'd say it's been unbelievably stable and solid, and pleased about that.

Here is something annoying, though: I was in the middle of a fight and one of those thieves runs up to me to give me something to hold onto and I'm locked in dialogue literally in the middle of combat. I guess I could call it a bug.

Man, does this bring back memories or what?

Yeah, not much has changed in terms of stability in Bethesda's games.

Does anyone have a quik list of the followers/companions you can use the training exploit on? I've used the one in RiverRun to raise my archery to 50, and then went into his inventory and reclaimed all the gold I had payed him. Which other Followers/companions allow you to do this and what are their locations?

PS: I can't get to wikia.com behind my work firewall or I'd just go look it up. THX!

Last night I was running to a new place for a quest - the closest location is the base camp for the Greybeards. Anyways, I fast traveled to that town, then started walking - I love the scenery so I'm soaking it all in and spotted a dragon in the distance. I went over and started fighting it and I killed it with about 30% of my health remaining - when out of nowhere I hear this MWREAAAAAAAAAORRRRRW behind me (wearing surround headphones) and just as I turn around, this sabre tooth cat is already mid lunge and proceeds to eat my face. I can't explain my emotions - it was a freaking long walk, and I had the dragon down so I was disappointed, but at the same time I was just laughing because I felt the damn cat was stalking me to avenge the one I killed moments earlier as it's partner ran off.

Maybe not so similar but brought about a similar response.

I too wandered into a dragon lair. I'm setting up to do battle when this guy roles up to me and starts telling me to take his enchanted elf boots and I'm in the middle of a dialog with this guy that I can't get out of and the dragon just starts roasting us both. I finally get out of the convo and start regenerating my helath frantically trying to find cover when this other guy rolls up to me and is like yo did you see the guy with the elf boots....I'm like WTF I'm trying to kill this fucking dragon. THen of course the dragon starts roasting us. It just became funny at that point.

I like my big comfy chair and 65" display

I've toyed with building a gaming PC for a few years now.

But my work provides me with a nice macbook and the thought of spending 600-800 bucks just to play a video game or two a year just doesn't fly.

I used one glitch. In Riften, in the Meadery, the guy behind the counter gives you a speech option for "tell me about maven blackbriar" then you get a persuade check for the next conversation option. The thing is, you can just keep hitting A over and over and you will keep getting the speech check on the persuade.

I did speech to 100 from the 60s in 20 mins.

I really don't understand using glitches (or any ritual stone that speeds up leveling). :shrug:

The whole point of the game is enjoying the ride, not just arriving at the destination.

To each their own I guess.

I had finished the story lines and was missing some achievements. I wasn't ruining my game; I just wanted to finish it off.

My favorite part of sandbox games is trying to out think the designers. I really hate when they make people invincible or use things like spawning in quest objects only when you are on that quest etc.

I still think Morrowind is the best when it comes to open world sandbox games when compared to oblivion or skyrim. However skyrim finally got skills and leveling done right.

Hey guys, so I finally got my fiancé to want to play an game and of course guess what one it is. All she has to do was sit down amid watch me play it from the beginning and now she loves it.
But I have a question. For some reason in the game durning the graybeard mission I took a hit to my hp and I can't figure how to get it all back. It happened when morning hit and from there I'm thinking I need sleep but I don't have a bead that I can sleep in. How can I get that hp back?

Go to an Inn and sleep there. You can rent a bed for like 10 gold.

Any suggestions on where to find ( or steal ) a nice bow ? Still using a standard enchanted. I seem to run across sweet unique weapons all the time, haven't seen a unique bow yet.

Craft yourself a bow and add an enchantment. It will be better than anything you get from quests/loot.

Skip the patch on the 360. NPCs are all skating around on ice and it has broken a couple quests.
