Skyrim - The Official Thread of Dragons, Shouts and A True Openworld

[dougp]

Here's a fix for the magic resistance bug.

Not sure why this is posted in the console section, we can't do anything with it. :whiste:

 

[Rage187]

I didn't notice a difference. What was the patch for anyways?

supposedly to fix the graphic bug when it is installed on the HDD.

52 hours in, level 31 character I finished main quest line tonight on expert. I wasn't going hard for the main quest line but it ended. Kind of torn on what I think about it, because I feel like a lot of the game is left. Hell, other than max of smithing nothing else even hit level 60. I had no expert, let alone master spells, and to get them now feels just kind of pointless. Even on expert I do well with things, and anybody who's finished knows there are a couple of jacked up shouts that make the character even more powerful.

I think I can say the leveling system is too slow for the size of the game or at least main quest line. To literally not come even within the ballpark of tapping out any other skills but still completing the main quest feels off to me. DLC may assist this but I didn't buy it for DLC. Also, once I hit 100 on smith and could create dragon, it wasn't long before I was finding armor at least as good if not better (since I had no real enchant abilities to pimp it up).

Still I may restart as a warrior for giggles.

If you are a caster, you only level once you start using higher level spells. I hit a road block around 60 throwing fireballs. Once I started using Incinerate, I almost gained a level each fight.

[mnewsham]

This is how i feel after killing a dragon :\

160 hour save... level 55... must play more...

 

[sourceninja]

Finally finished every major quest line. I'm feeling that end game let down. I wish there was more.

All in all, a very epic game. My only request is that anyone in the game would recognize that I just saved the whole damn world...

 

[IceBergSLiM]

I'm Level 27 now, and I have finished the College questline but not much else. I feel like there is still so much to do! I think I'm hooked on the RPG thing now!

 

[American Gunner]

The game started pretty slow for me, I didn't even really enjoy it. But I sank a few hours into it yesterday and really liked it. I am looking forward to playing some more of it tonight.

same game? I was killing a dragon with in 5 minutes

 

[American Gunner]

I killed a dragon, but not with in 5 minutes. I just meant that all Bethesda games seem kind of slow at the beginning. I still wish I would have picked up the strategy guide for the game.

Ah, so that's what those arrows are for...

 

[QuikWgn]

The blue arrow is a custom destination that you can set to direct you to places you have not yet visited.

 

[American Gunner]

Haha, I am not that dumb folks. I know how to play the game. I just meant it would be nice to have.

jeez wrap that in spoiler tags!!!!!

For first time players. When you do the first mission the Compainions make sure that you go through all of the books. You will find a transmute spell for turning iron ore in to gold ore. Totally worth it.

Anyone know how to activate a dwarven mechanism?

Most likely you're in an area for a quest. I've found a few of those and gone back to a couple later during quests.

Thats what I thought. Thanks.

I think my biggest (weak) gripe is the sheer number of quests/errands I have in my log. I get side tracked way too easily. I'm committing to just sticking to the main quest for now, of which I'm only half way through at level 48.

The only major plotlines I've completed are:
- Companions
- Mages College

Everything else has either been a side quest from someone in a town or something I've stumbled upon just wandering around...like some of the deadric quests.

I have been saying this to my friend all week! I can't seem to get anything done Im always starting off somewhere and end up somewhere else! I tried for 3 days last week the simple task of returning to the mages college and I couldn't get there. I don't really have a problem with this though I think its part of the fun.

Also I ended up with a pretty bad ass staff from one of the random tangents I went on.
