I don't have £600 to spend on a PC I'll probably have to upgrade in a few years. I did at one time have £200 for an X-box that is still going for me, but £600? Never.


Keep in mind, those ARE people with too much time and too much money on their hands. :lol:

-Gets Thieves' Guild mission to re-establish our foothold in Whitrun
-Has to forge documents and steal crap in Dragonsreach
-Why the hell did I sign up for this?
-Strolls in and finds both items in unoccupied, unlocked rooms with closable doors
-Is in and out in 2 minutes
-Everything went better than expected

Then I find out the only goddamn prize is a Ring of the Major Knight, which is only a tiny improvement on my minor one. I did expand Thieves' Guild influence for the first time, and some sort of shopping centre is appearing in the Flagon, so I suppose it's not a total loss.

First time I saw one, I thought it was a statue. I'm there chillin' and then it stands up and I'm like "OH SHI-" and then it attacks me. Then I hit it like twice and it died. I barely lost any health.

Eh, I strolled upon one like you did. Screamed "OH SHI-" and it attacks me, killing me instantly because I was being stupid and exploring early in the game

When it attacked me I was rampaging around a Dwarven Ruin celebrating having recently acquired my final bit of Daedric kit.

I've just finished playing it for the first time in 2 weeks. Before that though I played it all the time.

I'm like level 12 and I'm on the main mission where you go to Riften, talk to a dude in a tavern and he gives you a task to pickpocket one guy, and put the stolen item in another fellow's pocket.

Charge it head on like a manly man. Its how I deal with em. Only lesser races like Kitten-men and Lizard people sneak >:-(


This. Crush it! Smash, Kill, burn, destroy!

Ironically Despite all my characters being assassins, only one has snuck around.

I just find it more amusing that way.

Though I'm loving the applications rune-spells have on assassin missions.

Psh, ever since the Oblivion crisis, you lizards have gotten far too uppity :P

I have more respect for Argonians than Khajiit. They destroyed Morrowind. The Kittens fell into a huge panic when the moons vanished and allowed themselves to be ruled by Nazis.

Honestly of the playable races, Argonians have the best perks.

well, they start out that way, my Imperial has all but the magic(most around 90), light armor(94) and two handed (80) at 100and with all the perks(thanks to the dragonstone mod). So really, I can do almost anything as can anyone with a decent level.

Anyway you guys didn't answer my question, should I stay with my dragonplate armor or go with the lord one (same stats as daedric). I am level 77 and these are the best armors, so please help!

Probably lords, sine IIRC Daedric is stronger than dragonplate but heavier.

Personally, being a mage is very helpful. If you are going to be one, do not be a frost mage, it's utterly useless.

Then you'll be grand. Unrelenting Force is basically always useful, especially if you're near a cliff or steep hill or some such.

Well, you could look it up online, or you can ask Arngeir about Words of Power and he'll point you to one at random. Sooneer or later he'll point you to the rest of Whirlwind Sprint.

It's fun and useful early on, but about middle to late game only the passive bonus is of any use.
