And if you want to make a subject more interesting, try to frame it in something so the eyes are drawn towards it

Hmm.

I'd say that playing as a mage is definitely the funnest and most diverse style of play.

Yeah, my friend plays as a mage and he said it's probably one of the most challenging, but satisfying experiences of Skyrim. I'm not sure if I could do it; I'm definitely a hack and slash kind of person.

I downloaded Dawnguard last night and started playing it. So far, I'm enjoying some of the new enemies.

So,to those who answered.I am using novice robes and hood with some enchanted bracers,amulet and ring(I enchanted it).I haven't had a follower nor I thought of it since I had Sven(or what his idiot name is),a dog and 3 horses die because of me.So,does someone have a suggestion for a follower?I do not want an archer(Sven died,hagravens) or a dog. Also a spell would be nice..I have Basic spells on other focusings of magic like Restoration(Healing),conjuration(Conjure familiar,raise zombie,bound sword is a conjuration aswell I believe),Illusion(Courage,which I believe belongs here).I might have some more,and since I'm a destruction mage(looking to master destruction before branching out) I have the main spells I use here,which are frostbite(use it against flame atronatches and not much else),firebolt(the single spell that seems to do actual damage on a wisp mother,also it is a long range spell),flames(killing falmer,chaurus,frost trolls,trolls,people...) and sparkles(wolves,dwarven sh*t) I need some hints on how to kill a goddamn wispmother.I hide behind a wall and show up quick,she shoots the 3 frost spikes and I shoot a firebolt.Best working thing I got to kill the bitch.

I'm going to say this again, you need to upgrade your gear. Novice apparel are basically only a virtual advantage, so as soon as you level up in any school of magic and unlock better apparel (0-25 Novice, 25-50 Apprentice, 50-75 Adept, 75-99 Expert, 100 Master, correct me if I'm wrong), make sure to upgrade ASAP. Also, completing the College Of Winterhold questline has a pretty neat reward in the end. As far as followers go, I'd recommned J'Zargo from the College Of Winterhold; as far as I remember, he's the only follower who's able to level up to 81 or the hangaround from the inn in Riften who's also a mage. Also, make sure to provide them with some proper gear. For spells, make sure to match your magicka expertise with how you play without magic; if you like to be stealth, focus on Illusion (muffle, quiet casting and invisibilty ftw) and Conjuration - this way you can proceed through caves without lifting a finger yourself - or if you're a warrior, focus on Destruction and Restoration, et cetera. Like Joseph X said, it's important to remember that every Destruction spell has it's own function, which is also important to remember while fighting dragons (frost spells kill fire dragons quicker and vice versa).

My friend's made an awesome picture a little while ago dedicated to Skyrim and I thought I should definitely upload it here.

[nightwalker83]

Reminds me of a math game I used to play when I was younger. If anyone else is having problems with Skyrim those fixes might help.

Been playing alot recently, Mebent's on his way to Riften to see what all this nonsense about the so called "Vampire Threat" really is.
Mebent and his Companions take a cart from Whiterun to Riften

Lost in deep thought ....

The laterns are out early on this crisp Frostfall morning.

Hjorrimere wonders what life's really like outside Whiterun - Hold

The great Dragon AoJunDoDinok falls to Mebent near the base of the great mountain.

The group takes shelter from the icy winds in a Viliglent of Stendarr outpost.

Hmm, PS3 finally got 1.06? That's a good sign. In the meantime, I'm building a new vampire character in preparation for when Dawnguard finally arrives.

Mounted combat is awesome, BTW. Sucks you can't duel-wield though.

[nightwalker83]

It looks like I have to play Skyrim while disconnected from our network because for the past couple of days it has quit expectantly about 2 minutes in to it but the problem doesn't occur when my computer is disconnected from our network.

I call this little movie "The Fists of Ahtar" - contains spoilers from the Daedric quest Boethiah's Proving < spoiler tagged to not spoil my little movie!!

Currently in Blackreach on the MQ with Jenassa. Did they patch followers needing only one arrow to give them an unlimited supply? Or is it just Jenassa that runs out of arrows?













And here's some bits of ranged destruction combat that I threw together. No HUD and no crosshair - it gets easier the more you do it.

I heard there was a new update for the PS3 version, so I wanted to ask that have the lagging issues been fixed or not. Should I wait for another update to buy this game?

Thanks. Does anyone know when Dawnguard is being released? Also what about the Game of the Year Edition?

PS3 release date's not yet been confirmed, there's also no new on any future DLC's/GOTY Editions of the game.

Does anyone remember where to find the Falmer tomes for that guy in Winterhold? I have only found one and can't remember how to go back to search for more.

I only found one myself. They could be in dungeons that were already in the game before DG. There's some new quests that re-use old dungeons so it might be worth looking in those.

As you may have guessed from my last post, I was having a load of trouble with the youtube editor. I finally got it to process my video. I have no idea why Uthgerd turned on my character in this video. Abug? Or a deep seated hatred of Orc filth?

Yeah, I can find a list online of where they are but I have forgotten where the entrance to cave (whatever it was) is?

Been playing Skyrim again, mostly because of mods I wanted to check out. Speaking of mods, how many of them do you guys have? I got 42 active mods atm, and an ENB setting which I forgot the name.

I have 16 mods installed! I tend to go for quest mods but there aren't a lot that a big enough to keep my interest at the moment. That is why I'm just wondering around Skyrim finishing Dawngaurd and stuff.

Where to the friendly folks of Skyrim poop? I don't ever recall ever seeing a toilet or a room that's similar to a toilet in Breezehome nor Solitude Manor.

Been a long time since I slayed a dragon. I like how you don't have to purchase Dawnguard to use the mounted horse combat thingy. With my new character specializing in dual-sword combat, it's gonna be useful for my sexy Nord.

Ever wondered why there are so many buckets lying around forts and house?
