With all the recent talk of video games on NSG there has been one big one left out. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This game is looks wayyyy to fun. Really looking forward to slayin' some dragons!

... not to mention the ultimate hyphy game!

How does one get into the Brotherhood or Thieves Guild? And where is the Fighter's Guild and the Blades?

go to riverwood, talk to the inn keeper or the general trader (forget which) about a kid trying to call upon their services. That starts a quest chain that gets you in the DB

theives guild you have to go to riften and do a pickpocket quest in the main market area

Bought battle field a week or two ago. Having a lot of fun with that but Skyrim has peaked my interests.

Overall is it worth dropping 60? I played a bit of oblivion but not much.

I've never really been into this kind of game, but all my friends are raving about it, so I might check it out. If I never played any of the other Elder Scrolls game would I be completely lost? Also, can you actually run around and fight people, or is it like Final Fantasy where you have to choose an attack and then watch it play out.

you are very much missing out. It's nothing like the final fantasy game play, you can literally run around killing whomever you choose. As for story i doubt you'd be lost. I don't think the other Elder Scrolls games have a very strong running story linking them together.

well actually there is a lot of references to the events of Oblivion and Morrowind that i have come across, but nothing that you would feel left out from really

as ive only played for an hour or so i cant really describe it but from what ive played it seems to be a game where you will be able to delve deeply into the story and basically make your player into how you want to play the game, wether it be a magic only character or some heavy weapons expert, also its a good way to kill time, especially if your xbox live doesnt always work like mine does

you can't kill main NPC's, if they die and get right back up, it means they are important for a quest and there for can not be killed. Block and hit A (assumine you are on xbox) and try to get her to stop attacking

Been sick all day in bed and couldnt play. Im liking how theyre over lapping elements / factions from oblivion and such so far. New "class" (if you can call it that) system is sick.

What race is everyone? Im a nord.

just did a DB quest that rewarded me with a spell that summons Lucien Lachance to fight by your side until he is defeated. For those of you who don't know that name, he was the one that brings you into the DB in oblivion

I'm new to this. What professions (alchemy, smithing, etc) are most useful? I'm playing a wood elf with a focus on archery, stealth, light armor, and one handed weapons.

As an elf look into stuff like the Destruction and Altercation spells.

If I remember right elves, all of them, have a natural ability with Magic.

Are you sure? In the race screen it said Wood Elf had an affinity towards archery. If I did look into magic, would I have to completely ignore melee weaponry? I want something that makes me decently effective at close range.

My bad, yeah the bounty for stealing a horse is only 50 so me too. to buy a house it cost from 5000 to 2500 depinging on what city your buying in, and you buy them from the jarls steward but if your buying in solitude or windhelm you must complete a quest beforehand
