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!

you should probably be able to figure it out based on your play style/skill levels

So I can basically find any item that has some sort of + to it, and by destroying it I can put that + in another object?

level 21 dark elf
58 one handed
65 sneak
100 smithing
42 destruction
35 heavy armor
40 light armor
etc.
Beat the dark brotherhood and the companions, starting out college of winterhold, barley started the campaign saving it for when i start to get bored then i'll just be like oh I still have the campaign! next i'm gonna do the thieves guild or stormcloak. Yeah, this game is just a little addicting, my only complaint is in oblivion it seemed like there was a lot more creatures, in this one theres a lot of wolves and shit but i want to kill minotaurs and ogres again

keep in mind the setting, all creatures I thought have been pretty well thought out and well suited for the environment

i want the next ES games to be in the summerset isle, home of the khajiit and a tropical rain forrest, just think what they could do with that

yeah your definitely right about that, I felt like oblivion was just random as fuck sometimes. Summerset isle would be sooooo good. Also I totally forgot about all of the DLC that they're gonna make for skyrim, this games gonna last sooo long

Having never played an elder scrolls game should I get Oblivion or go straight for Skyrim?

once you play skyrim you can never go back, oblivion sucks mega balls in comparison, and most of it's problems/annoyances were fixed in skyrim

Yes yes yes. I hated oblivion but loved skyrim. I'd say its a bit more like fallout new Vegas than oblivion in regards to gameplay

Anyone have issues with the House of Horrors quest in Markarth?


I went into the house, killed the guy like Malog Bal said. Now he won't let me leave even after I spoke to him and accepted bringing back the Moethiah guy.


This is seww gayy.

ive only played like 4 hours so far...level 4 dark elf at this point.

i had way to many different character combos/builds in oblivion so im trying something new here. a pure stealth mage, mainly focusing on sneak, one handed, destruction, and restoration.

its a whole new way of playing

thieves guild has the best quests imo. you makes tons of money and get to be a total douche, extorting people and stealing everything.

Except the last quest is hard as fuck. There's barely visible ice mist following me during this one part that kills me within 3 seconds.

So who is the best all around character to use in this game?  I'm about to buy it, and I just wanna get an idea of who to use.  Does it even matter that much?

You need to stay out of the light. When you're in darkness, it doesn't matter. There's a whole path through that part in the shadows.

You can't talk to Brynjolf?


Or you can't talk to Esbern?



all you do with Esbern is interact with the door and he'll open a sliding thing and talk to you. tell him you're the dragonborn.

I had the same problem, you dont have to go into that place, go around to the front gate of Riften, talk to the guard who is going to ask you to pay an entrance fee, dont pay it, or just kill him and take the key to get into the city, then just head to the center of the city, and he'll be walking around.
