I'm currently doing an unarmed Level 1 Khajiit.  I've not talked to Jarl Balgruuf yet, so I'm not dealing with dragons.  But I have completed the Companions and Thieves Guild quest lines, so I'm sitting on a shit ton of gold and have pretty good gear.

I played through the main game once, been meaning to go back and do the expansions for a while.  Can't decide if I want to do it with my original character or start a new one.  I'm a completionist, so I don't do "builds".  I level EVERYTHING up, and did almost all the major arcs that I could figure out how to go through "morally".  I like playing the good guy.  As close to what I would do for real as possible.  Skipped the civil war because both sides suck.  Accidentally started the assassin's guild thing by killing the awful orphanage bitch and had to execute the dude to get out of that house (if there was another way out I couldn't figure it out) but went no further.  Couldn't figure out how to destroy the guild from there, if that was possible.  Also wanted to destroy the thieves guild, couldn't figure that out either so they got largely skipped.

I chose kajit because without knowing anything, the claws and night vision sounded cool.  I'd probably make one of whatever race is the magic-resistant one, because the thing that pissed me off the most was how easily magic killed you (despite sucking major balls when YOU use it).

The last thing I was doing before I stopped playing was trying to find all those mask things.  I'm super curious what happens when you get them all in place at that ruin (don't fucking tell me).  Also exploring the massive underground dwarf ruins.  It really seems like some really cool or important shit should be down there and I was determined to find the "secret" of the place, but I'm pretty sure I thoroughly covered the entire place and found nothing more noteworthy than the different colored plants.  And of course a lot of dwarf gear, but no great secrets or lore.

Never did any mods except the high res pack (not really a mod) and the unofficial fix patches.  I wanted to, but the one or two times I tried to get into it, it was just too difficult to sort out the good ones from the massive piles of shit.  I also didn't want any that would change the original experience, just "fix" things or add minor new quality-of-life improvements.  

At this point, I'll go back to it when I get a VR setup.  I'm guessing that will require starting over.  Probably would want to at this point anyway.  I played a few minutes on a buddy's system, but for some reason the sound wasn't working, and I had to just start out at the beginning instead of really getting to try out gameplay.  Had to do that weird teleport-move thing, please tell me you can set it to move with the controller joystick like a fucking normal game?

Heck, I’m still playing Morrowind.

Salt Strider fast travel, very little handholding, levitation, gods, just.....amazing.

I went from Fallout4 to Skyrim, so the urge at first to grab every single item you see was almost overwhelming.  It took me a few hours to realize most of this stuff is just for looks.  Fallout 4 let you craft with all that junk, but Skyrim doesn't.  Also took a while to gain a sense of what items are rare, so hoard them, and what are so common that you can use them at will, like certain ingredients for alchemy.

I just got the "Craft Orcish Armor" perk, so I've spent the last few hours mining Orichalcum, buying it where I can find it, and improving my Orc armor.  Then I had to up my Smithing so I could get it all improved to Legendary, so I spent a while gathering iron ore, transmuting it to gold, and crafting tons of gemstone jewelry.  Now I got a pretty sweet set of Orcish armor, and some good weapons (Dragonbane, Dawnguard, enchanted Ebony axe and bow), so I'll get back to questing.

I thought the only reason people still play skyrim anymore is Lovers lab?

Am I the only one who uses a follower just because going into the dwemer ruins/burrows alone creeps me out?

Not sure what butcher guy you mean.

For guild master, do you mean the fight with Mercer Frey in the room that floods?  I have Gloves of the Pugilist, which do a +10 damage to unarmed strikes.  An unarmed Khajiit already gets a base of 22 damage, so I punch harder than any weapon in the game.  I just stood there, let Frey come to me, and started my wind-up just as he was entering range.  After one or two punches, he would teleport away and I'd just wait there for the next shot.  Repeat as needed.

Ahh i was way off, Krev "the Skinner". He was a Silver Hand boss. I remember he just kept killing me and Aela i think, I got so frustrated with it I didn't go back till I had archery maxed.

So in the lvl1 strategy, you're able to stay competitive because enemies are leveled also?

Is it worth it to buy Skyrim again for Switch?  Do the motion controls actually add much over PC play?  I'm thinking not enough to be worth forking over WAY more than I paid originally (steam sale for $7), especially since I plan to eventually get a VR setup and play it on that.

Finally got a chance to play more tonight, apparently still level 31, .

I paid $25 to the local print shop and put a 2' x 3' map under glass, then hung it on my wall, just so I can find my way around...

Map isn't very to scale and is missing some locations, but it's better than being blond.

Er... um, I mean a red head.

No wait, I ment blind.



It's so big.

Srsly, it feels like NES Legend of Zelda x infinity, +1

Tonight I killed a new dragon and found a new power word, but tonight it wasn't doing the whole "music and trance" thing it usually does for that stuff.

IDK WTF is wrong. I liked the song and trance.

huh! ha! huh! ha!

Not tonight though...



Did I accidentally change my settings?

Almost 2000?!?!

I just started filling up my book shelves, I figure some day I'll read some of it, but just browsing a few of them in game it is quite amazing the amount of work it must have taken.

There are literally books laying around everywhere.

Just fired it up for the first time in 3 years. Downloading so many mods, I think I just bricked my Xbone.

Indeed. Morrowind was the best. I cut my teeth on TES in 2007ish on Morrowind. Still play it heavily modded on PC.

breton lvl 69

At this point I'm just trying to finish all the quests.

Hung it up for a year or two, just got back into it a couple of months ago.

Never got into the magic part much (rather ironic given my race choice), I like conjuration if for nothing other than pissing people off with a dremora lord or arniel's shade. Occasional close wounds.

Had rayya for the longest time (hottest chick in the game IMO) but she starting fighting Serana when I opened her tomb so I had to let her go back home to lakeview

Have dawnguard (part of the way through) and dark brotherhood left.
