Skyrim - The Elder Scrolls 5

Fixed that up for you

thanks...I couldnt remember what he was called as I was too busy running away like a little bitch! lol

 

[Balony_pony16]

I do all 3 - 1 handed, destruction magic and archery. Magic and 1 handed are higher than archery though. Magic gets very strong, and is very good against a lot of opponents. Very good to use.

do use a Elf character?

 

[Balony_pony16]

You just have to wait until it wears off. Doesn't take too long really. Just make sure you don't feed on the corpses of any enemies, because you will stay in wolf form longer. So just stand around and wait until you turn human again if you want to loot something.

do you get to pick when you turn into a werewolf? or do you also sometimes turn like at night/full moon etc...

 

[pantskyle]

sounds good...cant wait to be a wolf. My character is "King Leonidas: (aka 300) and he already looks mean as a cut snake...it will be awesome to completely unleash the fury!!!

I did read that you cant carry or pick up stuff while a wolf...is it easy to revert back to human so you can pillage after a mass kill?

I raided the Dragon while as a werewolf.

I believe it is just a spell but I could be wrong.

 

[Balony_pony16]

how many health points do you have as a werewolf...I gather you get more or is it just like you have extra armor?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Tip for those who keep getting surprised by Drauger (the zombie things that come alive) use sneak, when it changes to "Detected" when noones around it means one of the corpses is a Drauger, walk up to them and press E to make t hem come alive.

Nah, im an Imperial. They are good at both combat and magic.

Yep. It is a spell called Beast Form. Under the "powers" section in your magic menu. Press R2 to use it, or in case you aren't using a PS3, whatever button it is you use your shouts with.

thanks...cant wait to be a wolfman

 

[Balony_pony16]

im imperial as well...but the way I am playing (one-hand + archery) I would be better off being a redguard. Lucky I guess that most races start off sort of simliar

 

[pantskyle]

If you guys need a location to a dragon tomb I believe you just need to shout in front of a guard. Try not to harm anyone. A courier should then give you a location.

I haven't frozen yet which is pretty good as I'm level 22 with about 30 hours done on PS3.

Looking up glitches and bugs for this game and there is a few found already. Bethesda will want to patch this quickly. I stopped playing Fallout New Vegas for like 8 months because of issues.

I've had one where the healing spell was fixed on either Right hand or Left and Right, meaning I couldn't use dual casting. Easy to get around it by favouriting the spell you want and hotkeying it.

This annoys me. I have done it a couple of times as well, accidently hitting a guard, or whoever is helping you on a quest, and then they attack you.
Does anyone know if there is a yield button like there was in Oblivion? If there is, I can't seem to find it.

I remember the first dragon you face, I accidently attacked one of the Khajits and ended up killing them (with the help of whiterun army). But one of the guys, I think was an important NPC or trader, was immortal. Everytime you killed him he'd just kneel on the ground and then 10 seconds later would get up and try to kill me lol

I found it pretty easy to just recognise them. They're wearing armour, compared to the Dragur that you can already loot. And you don't even have to hit E, you can just hit them and get the damage started early.

How are we supposed to beat Hevnoraak in Vathume at lvl 9?

Ridiculous that the game twice now has sent me to missions that are clearly above my lvl, the bosses 1 shot me.......


edit: this game is really putting me off now...... Can't even buy new magic skills at the college because they sent me on a major mission and now no1 is selling anything.

It's possible you ranked up on soft/intangible attributes like speech etc. Opposed to Strength\Fighting|magic etc.

I did that my first Oblivion play through, though yet to play my skyrim copy so maybe off track?

If it is the same, best option is to go custom class. Put your power attributes as minor so you don't level up on maxing them out.

You've gotta get with the times Ant_, there are no major and minor skills in this one
Once you start playing this you will understand why I haven't had time to write up any of those profiles yet

Can I trade in 3 games at JB and get this? :L

Nah I played oblivion so I have some sort of idea of the basics etc..... The game just sends me on quests and the bosses are ridiculously hard, like the quest I'm talking about a guy on YouTube barely beats him and he had already locked the game and he was struggling.

And now I'm starting to junk Mage class is rubbish compared to the others.

They've changed the leveling system and there is no longer major and minor skills. Everything counts towards the next level but raising a skill to say 70 will count a lot more than raising one to 20. each level you just choose to raise your magicka, health or stamina.
I like this change because it is nearly impossible to break a character with poor leveling and you don't have to power level, just play and have fun

Similar to the Final Fantasy games you can push ahead too quickly and get to a point where the game is too hard, you have to go back and level more.

Its basically the game saying "Oi Mofo, go do some sidequests, we didnt put them in for laughs"

 

[MightyTiger]

Finally killed him, took a whole but I had to hide behind the rocks to sit for mana regen then use my time slow shout thenhitnuim with dual firebots to knock him back, rinse and repeat that and finally got him.

Yeah but weird thing is is that this quest was a side quest, I havent done any main quests for quite a while now.

I do this with sneak and archery while hunting for animals on the way to a destination...sneak lvl's really fast if you use it alot

Yep, my sneak is up to level 50. I use it without even noticing now. In Oblivion I just used it all the time, so I guess it just followed on.

Loving using sneak and using my bow to pick off the forsworn. It's great.

Had my first random encounter with a dragon. Was not prepared and got my ass handed to me. Didn't help having those giants around the area either.
