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!

What this guy said Kid. It seemed like a lot at the time but going out and doing like 2 Companion quests did it all for me.

So I have a question for anyone who owns the black star: how do you get souls in it? do you just cast capture soul?

You mean the black Azura star? You have to use a soul capturing spell or an enchanted weapon that has the soul capture ability.

smithing is so easy to increase... kill wolves/deer/sabre cats/bears, take their hide/pelts, make into leather bracers. i get like 5 or 6 levels on one hunting trip.

I did the whole thieves guild so that gave me a decent amount of money and so far have done abt 3 or so quests with the companions, but for some reason after i begin the quest where ithey teach me abt warewolfs, they dont ask me to do anymore quests with them? That cant be all the quests ewith them?

All the different options for the upgrades and whatnot are so overwhelming. What are some good things for me to choose? I have no clue..

there should be a quest where they turn you into a werewolf by drinking some blood and shit and then you go on a hunt with them. being a werewolf is badass. you can power attack giants, throw them to the ground, and then kill them really quickly before they get up.

SPOILER ALERT

For those of you that have done the DB quests and have played oblivion, Cicero is the Adoring Fan from after you finish the Arena stuff. Says so in his journal after you take it.

Just finished both Dragonplate and Dragonscale armors.


This game must have a fuck you detector. As soon as I started crafting them, each dragon would have like 1 scale and 1 bone in it's inventory. Meaning it took a LONGASS time to make the armor.

Daedric > Dragonbone. Also, the solitude house is severely disappointing after you buy it and all of the upgrades.

Slightly, but Dragonplate weighs so much less. So it's a tradeoff. More inventory space..or Daedric armor which gives you like an additional +10 to your overall armor rating.

if you at all know how to spec and play a character, then armor rating doesn't mean shit
