^ So you haven't met Esbern, or visited Sky Haven Temple? You should, so you can get the Dragonbane sword. Have you met Paarthurnax? What are you waiting for?

Or have you fallen prey to those dastardly butterflies, that do their best to distract you from your current task?

I have absolutely no idea! According to Steam I spend around 300 hours in the game so I'm sure I have been doing something!

The problem is that I always meet characters that will inspire me to try some new chars with a new RP background. Nonetheless I find new stuff everyday that I've never seen. At least I think so. Maybe I just forgot it. Can happen after 300 hours!

Maybe I'm just distracted by all that shiny stuff that's everywhere in Skyrims landscape. A cave there, a dwemer ruin there. Distracting locations!

But I swear I will stay strong this time! My orcish battlemage will see those quests! Or maybe... maybe I could finish building his library tower. All these possibilities!

Oh, I totally understand. I'm on my 17th character, and logged over 1000 hours quite some time ago. I stopped keeping track, because it's just so ridiculous that I've let a game take over my life like this, but I just can't help myself. It's either this or gamble, and this is much cheaper. Hehe.

Considering how many times I've done...well, a lot of the game, I was surprised; nay, shocked, to find two locations over the weekend that I'd never been in. I'm not sure how I missed them, but I did. It's a pleasant surprise to have things like that pop up every now and then.

Another place I visited that I hadn't been in since my very first playthrough was Yngol's Barrow. I just happened to be in the area near Windhelm, saw the black icon, and wondered what the heck it was. It's actually quite worthwhile to go through it - once you get the coral claw from Birna in Winterhold, you can get into the inner sanctum, and fight Yngol's shade. The prize is the Helm of Yngol, which includes 30% frost resistance, and looks very similar to the helmets Draugr Deathlords wear.

Orcish Battlemage, you say? That's what my first Orc character was. It wasn't my intent at all, but I was having a ball with magic, and the irony of it tickled me. It actually started my trend of bucking stereotypes for my characters.

17th Character!  WOWEEEE! 

Ive got two and I may create a third in a few years in the run up to six, but thats it I think.  I admit though the two plays combined are probably around 400 hours so far.

Anyway really excited for Dragonborn now.  I've played this weeks Spartan Ops so my calendar is clear just to play Skyrim for the rest of the week

[happy_daiz]

^ Well... they're not all complete playthroughs. Just a handful are what I'd consider "complete", or close, the biggest chunk are all around level 20-25, and there are some stragglers that I just made for giggles, which are stuck around level 2. I'd get all of them to Whiterun, and see from there what I feel like.

My husband just finally started his second playthrough, in preparation for Dragonborn. It took me literally weeks to talk him into it. He's only got a couple of hundred hours into his Argonian run. For this one, he's playing a Khajiit conjurer.

He found out the hard way that using a Bound Battleaxe at Fellglow Keep is bugged (or at least, it was for him), and nearly put the whole playthrough down. Thankfully, he worked around it, and is going to continue. This helps me, because then I don't feel bad for the two weeks I'll probably ignore him while I'm playing Dragonborn. Hehehe.

Its an interesting point actually,  you need to feel right with your character before you can significantly invest time in their play through.   Fortunately Dawnguard gave us the option to reconstruct your face so if there are any little annoyances on your character you can now edit them. Thats usually a mid game killer for me.   On ME1 I must have ditched two or three characters about 15-20 hours in because something wasn't quite right so I know exactly what you mean.

Also its just fun to play with the character creator sometimes.  Although I admit im not a fan of the way the new Altimer and Dunmer look this time around.  I could spend hours playing around and they would never look good I dont think.  Still they will probably look better then my vanilla 360 Oblivion characters mind 

:happy:

Also I like your style getting your husband back into it.  It always makes you feel better knowing someone else close to you invests significant time into a game.  Makes you feel slightly better about your own insane commitiment to it

:innocent:

[happy_daiz]

^ Yeah, before Dawnguard and the face-changer, having a bad-looking character was a total deal-breaker for me. Most of my discards are from before DG. It's a lot of the reason that I have 4 Imperials, with hardly any time invested. That, and I just find them to be the most generic race ever. They're all pretty, but pretty boring.

These days, I just start over if I'm feeling like something new. That gives me a chance to separate them, and come up with a new name. Most of my old character names don't even have last names or race-centric family names. That's something I wish the face-changer could also address, but no biggie.

I do sometimes feel guilty when I miss entire conversations, due to being in the 'zone', so this works out great.

I just play Skyrim with only one real character.
The rest are just achievement hunters.

Sad I know but I enjoy seeing my Achievement list at 100%

An article about the new DLC with some tidbits leaked by a beta tester. SPOILERS obviously!

http://www.gamespot....ls-leak-6400937

The article mentions something about the inclusion of "The Morag Tony".  The comments about it are pretty funny.

*sigh* I made the mistake of reading the comments on that article.

^ Must resist urge to click!

Well bollocks. Spears are in but are only used by enemies. Weaksauce.

I feel the same way, and I'm such a perfectionist so I just can't stop thinking about it if there's anything even slightly off.

The facechanger means I don't obsess over minor details. I've never actually used the feature, it does its job for me just by being there.

I'd say we wait until tomorrow with regards to that since apparently they said that when you pick them up they can be used as arrows which to me sounds completely retarded. How in the hell is it that someone would use a spear as an arrow, isn't it a bit too big? I saw that in IGN so who knows what's what with all that anyways.

It all depends on the size of the spear, they can be thrown or used like a bo staff. The Roman's primary weapon was the pilum which was a spear they used to throw at their enemy.

You may well be right. But I'll be a pessimist until then so I can shriek with joy when I get one.

Yep, the inner peace is totally worth it.

Notice something unusual about the enchantment on this bow?

[LPPrince]

My character is always wearing heavy armor so I forgot what he looked like once.

[happy_daiz]

^ I used to always equip my characters in heavy armor, but I kinda hate it now. I'm just so bored! I like the Daedric still, and the Dawnguard heavy uniform (sans helmet), but that's it.

I'm more enamored of the Thieves Guild gear. In fact, I just got my Guildmaster armor last night for my Bosmer. Sad to let go of the Skeleton Key, but with lockpicking so high (90s), I'm kinda good at it anyway.


We're supposed to be getting four new armors in Dragonborn I heard; has that been confirmed?

[LPPrince]

I never used the Skeleton Key. I know it opens friggen everything, but I have like 300+ lockpicks so it doesn't really matter.

[happy_daiz]

I've actually been checking Thief Caches in this playthrough, so I probably have that many lockpicks as well. There really is no need to pay for them, if you're in the TG.

[Giggles_Manically]

Uhm....okay I guess.

Nothing is quite as weird as watching a troll chase a bunny rabbit.
I mean I just saw a rabbit run by me, then POW suddenly a troll comes running right after it.

Even in Skyrim people will do anything for fast food

I found the lady who changes faces the other day, seems like fun for assassin RP. I plan to change my character's face and clothing to blend in when I have a target. Also working on a mod that enhances some stealth features like disguise. Just need to make it so guards and other NPCs don't recognize you while you are disguised.

I enjoy playing a Dunmer battle mage. Where else can I shout so many hammy one liners?
Lighting= "He must have been shocked!"
Ice = "Chill out"
Fire = "Dont get hot under the collar dude"

It is so much fun to make up one liners as I go.

So...anyone else hoping you can wear this?



I don't know why, but I've always enjoyed making my character wear more mundane things.
