Just started 'No one Escapes Cidhna Mine' and found a great quote when asking about a shiv. 'Small blade, easy to hide. Sure, you could just swing a pickaxe into somebody's face, but they tend to see that coming'. Now to see if I can get my stuff back, considering how I only have a roughspun tunic, foot wraps, and a single lockpick.

^ One of my favs for sure.

In other news, smithed myself a full set of Legendary Daedric armour and a sword. Probably made like 400 iron daggers and 200 leather bracers to level up my smithing to 100 :3

Pwnator · « **Reply #103 on:** January 17, 2012, 04:54:03 AM »

Lawl I made, enchanted and sold gold rings for Smithing, Enchanting and Speech. XD

And I also made a Daedric Bow.

Before upgrade - 57 damage
After Legendary upgrade - 178 damage (my jaw dropped)
After enchanting my Dragonscale gear with Fortify Archery - 562 damage (my jaw will never ever heal again)

Felt so cheap using it. Ancient Dragon? Down in less than 8 sneaky shots. Which means Lydia is back to being my pack mule again (no idea why I gave my pack mule Daedric armor though hahahahaha). :P

Yeah i've done the whole dark brotherhood quest as well, and it was funny. Also, good way to make money and train sneak.

Also, I am now level 30 and joining the legion, after killing the emperor . First quest is insanely difficult. So a half naked bandit marauder wielding a dwarven war hammer can kill me in 4-5 power attacks, despite me being clad in legendary dragonscale armor and having 60 in light armor. And facing my legendary glass sword. I won by using scrolls and shouts and poison and health potions. Can't even use restoration magic, they DPS me faster than I can heal.

This is ridiculous, even the blood dragons are easier than a bandit !

That is the one thing that annoys me about this game. The Dragons need to be harder, and the bandits should be a whole lot easier. There's no way a bandit should ever be tougher than a dragon.

I doubt anyone would call 'fighting a dragon' as hard once he/she has learned Dragonrend. :P

Well, I managed to take down an Elder Dragon last night. Highlights of the match: it breathing frost on me, me retaliating by punching it in the face with a bow, causing it to stagger, it then taking off, circling round, me hitting it in the head (I think...either that, or it was the wing), it crashing to the ground, and sliding into a pillar. I also came to Irkngthand from the wrong direction, so I dropped down twice, slit a bandit's throat, took out my bow, and hit another bandit in the back of the neck, sending it flying forwards, and sliding into a wall. Am level 41, and I still haven't gotten the horn for the Greybeards.

Naryar · « **Reply #107 on:** January 17, 2012, 03:43:37 PM »

And i got it at something like level 15 lawl. The horn of jurgen windcaller, I mean. Because FUS RO is nothing compared to FUS RO DAH. Also, be prepared for an anticlimax on that mission.

Also my lydia died in a fight in Markath D: I felt genuinely sad. So I married that imperial girl from the riverwood store. And she brought me 1200 money last time I saw her. Yay.

Also, just got ebony smithing by powerleveling conjuration, which is extremely easy.

1-find a mudcrab, slaughterfish, skeever or something weak and aggressive

2-keep summoning a bound weapon, preferably a lowcost spell, sheathe it, summon it again, wash, rinse, repeat

3 - ???

4-PROFIT

And I just finished the imperial legion, and let Tullius kill Ulfric.

Currently trying to get Mehrunes's razor. I head mehrunes's shrine is a good place to farm and train your skillz on dremora.

Damn it... if I spent as much time doing homework as I do playing Skyrim and going on GTM, I'd already be doing my A levels

You fail to realise the pull of shiny objects, and random stuff...at least to someone being a thief. I have the Blade of Woe and full Shrouded set, and I haven't even become part of the Dark Brotherhood. I had 100 pickpocket before doing the mission to get the Dragonstone, and I spend most of my time at 399/400 carry weight (I pumped all of my stuff into Health, and now I am really bad at carrying all of my items). which was especially annoying when somebody gave me an axe as a quest reward...if I can ever do a basic comic style, I may have to draw what I imagined when I saw that. But I have been having enough fun without getting the horn (I punched a dragon in the face while it was breathing ice on me, if that isn't fun and at least partially awesome, I don't know what is).

Either way, it's that time again. Sell 1000 gold worth of stuff, wait 2 days, repeat.

Naryar · « **Reply #110 on:** January 17, 2012, 04:42:08 PM »

What is awesome ? Killing a dragon with only your fists. And getting a hand to hand finisher against it as well.

Restoration spells are allowed.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #111 on:** January 17, 2012, 04:47:10 PM »

So me and my mate decided to play this..
obviously being the manly man i am, i only used fus da rah to kill dragons.
..Unfortunately it didn't work.

Naryar · « **Reply #112 on:** January 17, 2012, 08:18:30 PM »

It's FUS RO DAH, not FUS DA RAH, and yes it doesn't kill dragons. It cannot directly kill anything larger than a mammoth or a dragon.

Also, main quest :

ALFTAND CATHEDRAL OPENING LEVER

WHY U NO SHOW UP

Naryar · « **Reply #113 on:** January 17, 2012, 09:24:50 PM »

Blackreach get. I just met a chaurus reaper.

And got two hit killed once he got in melee.

This is even worse than the frost trolls at level 9 ! GRAAAAAH

Meganerdbomb · « **Reply #114 on:** January 17, 2012, 09:47:23 PM »

You need to make friends with the block button. Do you have a good shield?

I always end up reloading my last save when a companion dies, since they're usually carrying all of my stuff, but I have to figure out which one I want to sacrifice. I also married an Orc warrior from one the strongholds.

Pwnator · « **Reply #115 on:** January 18, 2012, 03:08:15 AM »

I married Aela because of dat ass. :P

And I'm VERY surprised Lydia was able to hold on her own against a whole Forsworn camp. All I gave her is Daedric armor, shield and an upgraded Dawnbreaker. I had to leave the fight because a dragon's bothering me. I went back to the camp full of dragon bones and scales and she even gave me a wonderful present: dead rebels with ebony arrows in them! :D

Nope, I have Blocking at 22 or something. Never used a shield. I am a spellsword, I usually charge in battle with a weapon/spell combo or even two weapons.

I'll try using a shield though.

Pwnator · « **Reply #117 on:** January 18, 2012, 05:49:14 AM »

Damn. Ran out of weight from the loot I got from a tiny part of Blackreach. I'll have to go back to it again.

I MUST LOOT ALL THE THINGS

Also, if you're not a shield guy, how about wards?

Naryar · « **Reply #118 on:** January 18, 2012, 06:08:56 AM »

LOL I KILLED IT WITH ONLY A FUS RO DAH AND ONE SWORD BLOW

ANTICLIMAX AND GLASS CANNON GALORE

after all it is 13 levels under me...

seriously i poked the chaurus long distance with a dual firebolt to piss him off, trying not to attract the attention of the centurion golem. It works, and the beast attacks me. i don't see sh** because of the lack of light and me not casting a magelight. I FUS RO DAH him and he falls down by like 4 meters. Then his health bar is down by 75%. One sword blow and he dies before he can kill me in melee.

Meganerdbomb · « **Reply #119 on:** January 18, 2012, 03:17:13 PM »

I kicked Alduin's scaly butt last night, for the second time. Main Quest complete! Also, one-handed weapons is now at 100. Now I need to finish the daedric quests.
