SKYRIM!

there were some khajiits outside whiterun (i think) and one of them teaches you lockpicking. as khajiits aren't allowed inside the city, the guards won't give a fuck about what happens to them. so i paid him for 5 levels of lockpicking, then axed the guy and got away with it, getting back the 9000 coins

haha no man, there are no "acrobatics" or "athletics" skills in Skyrim. only thing that helps you move faster is increase stamina so you can sprint for longer periods.

awwwwww....loved to be able to jump around like a frog haha

I'm in love with this game, but goddamn it's a fucking BUGGY game! I'm playing this on my xbox 360, jesus flying fuck!

I friend of mine also had lots of bugs and performance problems on his xbox 360.
Then he installed the game on the 360 harddrive and he said that it's a lot better now. Maybe you should try that, if you haven't done it already.

Edit: After posting this I read that you better shouldn't install it on your 360, yet! http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Skyrim-Xbox-360-Installation-Causes-Texture-Issues-36954.html.
Weird that my mate told me that it works better for him now...

This game is jesus. Seriously, its so fucking awesome I can't handle it. I played 33 hours within two days (Ok, Steam also tracks the time if you pause and go away, but you get the idea). I will force myself not to play today and tomorrow, and then drumtracking starts anyway. But fuck me sideways this game is amazing.

Level 21 btw, no powerleveling. Just exploring the awesome world and got pretty far in the main story

so THATS why some of the textures sometimes look like absolute turd! i've been getting late 90's flashbacks from some of the huge textures i've seen...

can't wait for the update, it'll probably look a lot better... that said, i'm already like 40 hours in, guess it has disadvantages to buy a game so early on Skyrim was the first game i've ever bought on the day of release.

not that the game's ending anytime soon... everytime i finish a quest, i almost accidentally get 2 more...

So I worked out which aspects of my character build were sub-optimal on my first run. Sucks to call it, since he's level 43, but I'm not in this to make a pansy-ass.

Here is the abandoned character (was quite proud of his kvlt scowl):

Here is the new guy, just started, popped 7 levels in about 30 minutes:

Lol

Yeah I had to take a day off yesterday. But i'll be back at it this evening.

 

[Sloan]

I didn't have high expectations for this one, so it's kinda what i expected. Not a huge leap from Oblivion, but it IS fun to play a bit. My favorite part is that the dungeons are more varied.

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

Level 43 Ermz?! Fuckin hell, you're fucking grinding this game mate LOL! What difficulty level are you guys playing? I tried playing on Expert and I basically get raped by shit like sabretooth cats and shit oO

Just got my review copy from Bethesda yesterday after some delay, I took video of the first 40 minutes if anyone wants to check it out.

[jipchen]

Btw this is Aen'Shilaei, level 21 high elf, battlemage
And yes, she is badass and her eyes glow fucking yellow.

I love the finishing moves. Have you guys unlocked the decapitate perk yet? It's just a lot more rewarding if there's a cool move after a hard fight.

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

Your char looks awesome Max. I'm fucking rolling a new one, being a gypsy cat doesn't cut it

i suck at this game also. i'm just running around and exploring the land
instead following the quests and earn some XP. level 9 atm, just had a
10 minute fight with a giant...shoot a few arrows, run away, shoot again,
run away, then after 10 minutes of struggle, the bastard finally died.
i think i am playing this completely wrong!

i also try to avoid stealing, murdering etc. but looking at the crime journal
i have stolen and murdered already, but actually i can't remember ever doing it,
WTF!?

 

[Terminus]

@ Ermz nice evil char!

Norvane, lvl 17 archer, pretty good thief, been caught pickpocketing once.

here's my character so far: a level 30 Breton chick. what's with all helmets always looking stupid as hell on females??

the stealth get-up with her hellspawn steed and tormented jester

armor for the harder fights

there's no way to take screens on a 360 is there? used my phone for these and i felt like an idiot taking pictures of a tv screen haha

 

[JayB]

@sopulurn you could get a screen capture device but they can be expensive, not really worth it if it's just for fun.

Here's a pic of my dude, standard Viking pretty much, named Thor. I loved the aurora borealis in this pic.

 

[Ermz]

I've found it! THE combo.

Dual wield swords and elemental fury. Just took out a dragon in 5 seconds.

 

[Williamn]

I have played for.. hmm.. maybe 5-10 hours and im lvl 8 .
