Skyrim

[ConHog]

I think I'm level 26 or 27 right now and yeah, I have fought a bunch of them. In fact, it is almost becoming an annoyance because it seems that whenever I fast travel somewhere now there is one, sometimes even two, waiting for me. It wouldn't be so bad if they actually dropped cool loot but they don't.


Here are the min specs needed:

* OS: 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
* CPU: Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor
* RAM: 2 GB
* HDD: 6 GB
* Graphics: 512 MB card
* Sound Card: DirectX 9 Compatible
* DirectX: Version 9.0c
* Internet for Steam activation

Edit:
To really enjoy the stunning graphics you obviously need a decent rig. I'm running a quad core @ 2.something Ghz, 6GB RAM, and a 640 MB video card. Not a monster machine but the graphics are great on it.

I would say the same thing about wild animals. There's too many of them. You can't go 10 feet from a city without half a dozen wolves attacking you, and they don't even give you much in the way of rewards.


The game is still fun though.

Just save those skins from animals to get your Smithing to 100 if you're into it. I don't know if Bethesda meant smithing to level the way it does but basically all you need to do is craft 5 things to level up once in Smithing which means you can level all the way to 100 in one sitting in about 30 minutes just crafting leather bracers (assuming you have enough materials to do it in one shot). In any case it doesn't take long.
I like crafting, improving, and enchanting my own weapons and armor specific to my build and being able to custom name your stuff is kinda cool too. The only thing Skyrim seems to be missing so far is the ability to craft your own spells. At least I haven't found a way to do it yet. If you find a way, please let me know

I looked at Skyrim, but I like online multiplayer stuff (XBOX 360) so have a hard time getting into single player. Curretnly loving the heclk out of Battlefield 3. I just installed the remake of the original HALO (3D version) and played it a bit.... awesome in 3D by the way.

LOL! I will check it out I guess.

It may actually have online multiplayer, I think

Now that would be interesting!

Not *yet*.
It is possible to do (indeed a mod was made for Oblivion with multiplayer) but it is an extensive mod with a mind-boggling amount of coding needed, but I have do doubt there are teams working on it now. Though when (and even if) it'll be available is anyones guess.

My two boys (one of them isn't really my son, but he may as well be) are hard core into the Modern Warfare online games. They are all the time bugging me to play with them, and I'm like "Guys, I did that for a living, I don't need the video game to experience it and I don't really have an interest."

Now I'll beat some ass in NCAA Football 12 online.

I play with an ex Navy navigator, a retired Marine chopper pilot, and an ex SEAL. We tend to kick ass in BF3 and none of us care too much for MW series.

I do SOME smithing. it's an easy way to make some gold, steal some jewels and silver, smith some jewelry , sell it.

I don't do much with magic.

I'm into the thieves guild part of the game. I've robbed about every person in Skyrim. There are very few building I don't have keys to.

I'm getting ready to join the Dark Brotherhood and I hope I get to learn who has hired them to try to kill me so I can fuck them up. I've already taken out 3 of their assassins.


If you like to sneak and pick pocket try picking the pocket of the Jarl in Solitude, that's the sign of a badass.

My favorite builds are the stealth assassin/thief types. The Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood were awesome in Oblivion. I've only done a few of the quests for them in Skyrim but I hear the DB story is very good. I haven't done much pick pocketing yet but I'll give the Jarl on Solitude a visit soon...

Currently level 30.

We're about the same, I hit level 30 just last night. My wife is a little behind at level 25. She's Mrs Goody two shoes , she accidentally stole a basket and was looking for a guard to turn herself in . LOL meanwhile I'm stealing anything that isn't bolted down. The thieves guild is fun, as I said I haven't started the DB yet. One thing I will say for Skyrim is that there is a TON of shit to do, talk to EVERY person you come across almost all of them have missions to offer. That's why I haven't started the DB yet, I already have too many open missions to finish up.

Oh, another thing to do if you want a challenge is go to where the mammoth's are and try to kill one. Between them and the giant who will invariably get pissed that you're trying to kill one of his mammoths you'll be in for a fight.
