Elder Scrolls V: Skeerim

[DMN in the House]

So, I got a house, and a horse, and I've joined the Companions. I went out to kill a vampire for Farkas, on my way back I rescue a Stormcloak soldier (do what you can for the cause, you know?), when I see a ghost. Can't talk to the Headless Horseman, so I try to follow him, but get attacked by an assassin (why, I do not know, I haven't really chosen sides on anything), and lose the ghost.

Anyone know the story with The Headless Horseman?

if you follow him - I believe he takes you to a graveyard where you fight skeletons and shit.

I've been there, but didn't stay because I was doing the Companions mission with Farkas and had just missed where I was supposed to go.

Man, my Nord Conan the Heavy Armor Barbarian is a badass. I just walk in, start swinging, and motherfuckers die. I put three perks into uping my two-handed damage, and have gloves that add an extra 15, so...

The only thing I don't like is how quickly you level up. It's not as bad as Oblivion, since people don't level with you, but I'm already level 12, and I haven't even climbed the mountain yet. On a related note, fuck Ice Trolls.

[TKz]

Ugh, I ran into my first Ice Troll the other day. If you don't have some serious time put into Fire magic, those motherfuckers will destroy you. And the regen health too! I had to use most of my Magicka potions to keep up with his health regen. And then when I finally killed him, I got fuck all for it!

That's my only problem with Skyrim, I'd like some kind of worthy reward when I kill something worth killing.

[DMN in the House]

Yeah, no fire magic for me

[Your Mom]

What did I get in return for sinning against the gods and killing an innocent woman and dog?

1 point of speechcraft >_<

[Meacon Keaton]

Installing now. ^_^

[DoubleX]

Man, Dragon Priests are hard. I took on one at Volskygge, and he was a total beast. Was worth it though, his mask had feather and water breathing enchantments, it looks fantastic and has a better armour rating than any other helms I've found.

So now I rock this mask as my helm with a set of Elven armour. It's awesome.

Spoilered because I don't know if anyone else has run into this yet.

[Ruki]

Even though I have this game, I am still tempted to stay out of this thread in fear of having things spoiled for me >_<

[Your Mom]

Yeah but there is so much stuff I think a lot of us wont even see the same things in our games

[Dan]

Yeah, I think all main questline shit should be spoilered really, all the other stuff is fine.

All/most of us will play the main questline so it makes sense to spoiler it.

Been busy at work the past 2 days so I haven't had the chance to pick this up but I'm looking forward to getting home tonight and spending a couple hours grinding for money to buy the 5000 Gold house in Whiterun. Unless other places have a cheaper house. I like to buy a house early in the game, it gives me a base of operations to spread out from.

So two questions.

1) Where is the cheapest house?

2) What's the quickest way to accumulate Gold?

Thanks all.

[Maxx]

Yay Dark Brotherhood ^_^

[DoubleX]

Is getting into the Dark Brotherhood the same as in Oblivion? Do you have to murder someone again?

[Walker]

Just had my first moment of revenge. I won't spoil the specific quest for those who haven't attempted it yet, but lets just say that is the last time someone tries to double cross me.

It felt good. Like I did in Fallout 3, I can't help but get totally involved with the characters so I always care about what happens.

I've been crawling a cave full of Falmer for ages now, they're so fucking annoying :@

In Windhelm, there will be a boy who's trying to summon the Dark Brotherhood. He'll think your a member and you can go carry out the kill. A courier will give you a message from the brotherhood and then when you sleep, you'll get abducted and initiated. It's pretty fun.

[Your Mom]

Dark Brotherhood can suck it. They have tried to kill me twice now

[Maxx]

Sounds like they're trying to do Skyrim a service by removing it's most ruthless dog killer.

[Clawson]

Finally got it today. Promptly spent 20 minutes in a river trying to catch a fish to no avail.

[Ruki]

Warn your family and friends....the bears and the dragons have teamed up.
