Elder Scrolls V: Skeerim

[DMN in the House]

Decided to start over, figured that if I'm going to do Skyrim right, I need to play as a Nord. Having a lot of fun with two-handed weapons and heavy armor.

[TKz]

For a while I was using a magic in one hand, weapon in the left. I'm dying a lot less now I've started using a shield again. Also, Shouts being once per day usage? Meh.

[Dan]

Shouts aren't once per day.

[TKz]

I swear I read that somewhere... how long until you can use them again, then?

Also how do I activate my Powers? Like, Nord has Battle Cry and I also now can turn into a Werewolf, how do I active it though?

[Dan]

They recharge like magika, it's like once every minute or so.

Have a look in your magic menu, shouts and powers and stuff are all in that and try using them with rb.

Oh and another fantastic Skyrim video is doing the rounds:

:lmao:

I had someone hire an assassin to try and kill me! The cool thing is I have no idea why. It doesn't do the gamey thing and spell it out for you. I killed the guy and he had a note saying to kill me and it had already been paid for. For all I know there could be more of them out there. Crazy stuff.

[Dan]

Haha that's great, this game really is awesome, did a quest to solve a murder earlier which was fucking cool.

[Summers]

Why hasn't anyone bought me this yet?

[Cymbols]

I need this game too. Might just live at my friends house for the next weeks...

BTW, Are there many spiders in clearing dungeons and roaming wild and places?

[DoubleX]

It was kinda weird having that guy send me on an epic quest to get the dragonstone and then just going "Uhh yeah I already did that"

I quite liked that. I even had something similar happen again in Solitude, which amused me.

[apsham]

My singular complaint about this game is simply that I find myself entirely overwhelmed as to what I should do next - especially when I come across a new area. My next goal is finding a house to buy and settle down in - I heard that you can get servants and stuff too. As well as spouses, etc.

[Herr Matzat]

I think to buy a house you need to gain the right to buy one by doing quests.

[Your Mom]

I have the ability to buy a horse or a house if I want. I cant afford the house and unless I am doing it wrong horses seem kind of lame.

[TKz]

Horses are totally useful because you'll miss out on a lot of side quests and extra bits by fast travelling everywhere, not only that but you CAN'T fast travel to most new places that're quite far away, so it's either run (which can get annoying with the stamina limit) or ride. Horses also kick enemy asses.

I actually just purchased my house, it's pretty fucking handy! I so often find myself with lots of useless crap that can become valuable (garnets + silver ingot = 200 gold). It's 5000 gold, but I sold a few bits and found myself with like, 4800, so it's not super expensive. I'm already back to 500 gold. I still haven't left Whiterun yet and I've got like 10 hours in.

[Dan]

I paid 1000 for a horse and lost it after about 10 minutes

[apsham]

If you buy a horse and lose it - just fast travel somewhere and it'll appear near you.

I for sure think you can buy houses from the stewards at the Jarl's fortresses as soon as you can afford them.

Yes, if you kill a bnuch of bandits you usualy already got a good loot. If you play for a bit 5000 are no biggy, i bet there will be bigger houses later on.

[Your Mom]

Wonder what I'm doing wrong then. I've still only got like 4000.

[TKz]

The only thing that really bugs me about this game sometimes is how hard it is just to find some places. I'm looking for the Greybeards... and I get to the first marker and suddenly it changes to some place on top of the mountain. Okay, I figure if I follow the path around, I'll get to where I want to go. Wrong. It leads me to a dead end... now I need to find a way up the mountain, which I can't. Eventually I find myself assaulted by Witches (as in actual witches, not mages, they were called witches and fired really powerful spells at me) and I die. It just kind of bugs me, I want to do the quest, but it's sometimes so hard to just find the route to where to go.

[Herr Matzat]

Hmmm, maybe check a bit on the value of stuff your looting, only take things that are worth takeing. Some stuff is just heavy, other stuff gives you about 100-600 gold.
