Why all the love for skyrim ? I've held off buying it, due to bugs in the ps3 verion and bethesda problems with getting their dlc to work in the ps3 version. Are all those problems fixed now ? I was hoping for a goty edition of skyrim but if that's still a ways off should I go ahead and buy it?

Why all the love for Skyrim? Surely you jest. Image IPB

Not sure; I play on XBox, and haven't heard anything about the PS3 version. I know there are a few peeps in this thread who do play on PS3 that could probably answer that, once they see your post.

So I'm going to give this whole "role playing" thing a try in Skyrim. Normally I just run around and do quests. Don't really care too much about the main story. So I made an Orc Warrior who supports the Imperials seeing as they're much more welcoming to Orcs than the Stormcloaks are.

I've never done a full on warrior character. Always utilize one of the Schools of Magic. Only level three now though. Gonna be a long ways to fifty. Even longer to eighty-one.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe that quite a lot of bugs are going to be fixed on PS3 with the 1.9 update which comes out in a week or so. Otherwise, most of the DLC problems are now fixed for PS3 as far as I'm aware, though it may take some work on the game data for Skyrim in PS3's console files to work properly.

As for GotY, that's still a way off because not all the DLC is out yet (or so I believe), so I'd buy it now or you can wait for a few months, your choice.

So as a PS3 player I finally get Dawnguard and the first thing I do is not work to finish the quests but instead become a Vampire Lord and then build my manor near Morthal. I play such proactive characters.


Heh. I did something a little similar, although I did it halfway through the Vampire Lord Questline. It was nice to finally have Dragonborn, Hearthfire (spelled Hearthfires on PS3 for some reason), and Dawnguard for the PS3 after so long. Discovered Lord Harkon was planning to get rid of my Volkihar Dunmer mage as soon as my protagonist accomplished the task of discovering the secret to the Tyranny of the Sun prophecy, was getting in the good graces of the other members of the Court, had the task to assassinate someone in Windhelm while posing as a member of the Dawnguard, and then my character decided that it would be the perfect time to build a house and adopt two children.

It's not too difficult to rationalize my character's actions. He is going to kill someone while posing as one of the Dawnguard, the Jarls are already giving implicit consent for the Dawnguard to hunt him down and murder him because they exposed my Tribunal Arch-mage as a vampire of Harkon's Court, so building a home and "retiring" with a family would make any of the accusations of the Dawnguard all the more difficult to believe. I also think he wanted to give the two lonely, orphaned children he found a better life.

My protagonist probably deserved a break as well. After being bombarded with two Cultists and a plethora of vampires and vampire thralls attacking Winterhold at the same time (super villain team-up) with a naked Courier finally giving my character the quest to repair the White Phial, my Volikhar finally became a proper Vampire Lord, tossed around a few enemies and even defeated a dragon in his new form, killed two couriers for the Dawnguard, entered the realm of the Soul Cairn and defeated all the undead foes in his path (and helped Saint Juib), and I figure he probably needed some zen moments.

Although I decided to built my family home in Falkreath, which is also a hub for some vampire activity. I'm not sure Morthal is really the best place to raise children. My adopted children really liked the lake in Falkreath, and I finally got the opportunity to give Meeko a decent home, too.

Don't forget to build your coffin in the basement. 


I wonder what my adopted children think about the fact that 'Papa' has a coffin in the basement...

Is the better vampires - spell where you turn an NPC you've fed from into a companion something that is supposed to available from the get go? I can't seem to get it working. I'm using Dawnguard and got turned to vampire by the plot quest. 


DG adds 3 citizens that you can turn into vampires via a radiant quest thru Vingalmo.  Then he's supposed to give you a quest to turn your spouse into a vampire.  It's buggy on the PC since he sends you to turn the same 3 people over and over. 


I really hated that. I read that there's no way to get rid of the quest except to kill the vampire you already turned. Since it's DLC, I presume the developers aren't going to patch this issue for the consoles...

^ That sounds cool, but I think I'd really only use them as other DB's stewards. It's hard to find good help in Skyrim!

Speaking of which, I had an Ancient Vampire run over to my cow and kill it, and neither my housecarl or my steward did squat about it. It's my cow, dang it!


Haha, it took me forever trying to figure out which stewards I wanted for my characters.  I initially had my Dragonborn follower stationed at his home in Lakeview, but when my Redguard went to visit him, bandits attacked, and my Dragonborn used Fire Breath on both the bandits and the chickens, so I changed it since then to have him practice the Way of the Voice at High Hrothgar.

Finally picked up Serana on my first real play-through; decked her out in enchanted forsworn armor like my character so they look a bit like twins. I really like her despite the tendency to repeat herself when she's standing nearby.

When it comes to wildlife I generally only kill hostile creatures. If I run across dead rabbits and such, I usually open the console and resurrect them. I have spawning disabled like I do in Oblivion, so when something dies, it stays dead. After several hours of exploration, the roads and wilderness are quite safe!

I prefer to have a follower. I guess I've used them enough to know each one's strengths and weaknesses, adapt, and play accordingly.

And I'm playing as a Dunmer, just in case Teldryn does decide to set her alight. Image IPB

I was actually more annoyed by Anska (temp follower) in High Gate Ruins when I cleared it the other night. Damn, she was just as bad as Barbas, if not worse. She pushed me into everything!


Yeah; the temp followers are the worst, and Anska is one of the major pains. But I like that dungeon, reward, and Word Wall, so I see her often. She should be thankful that I play mostly honorable characters, as I am guessing she becomes non-essential after the quest, but before she leaves for places unknown.

I think I found my pet peeve in Skyrim.

The NPCs who snidely threaten you or insult you.
I really wish there was an option to say:
"Try it and see how the last idiot to try something fared"

Like Maven threatening you when you become Thane.
Oooooh I am so getting that perk to steal equipped clothes, it is on Maven.

See how people like you when you walk around sans PANTS!


Her clothes are unavailable for pickpocket, along with Jarls and some of the other essential npcs.

You should enjoy it. Mine would not take much off of others; would give the guards three chances to either apologize or alter their remarks from insulting (never forced to kill any of them), or would fly into battle at some racial insult rather than proceed past it. And 2H is simply too much fun with Kill Cams; always a delight to imagine the surprise at foes that would close to avoid my arrows only to discover I was as deadly in melee.

I don't remember her ever being that bad before (did something change?). But I do like her, and would never dream of taking her out. Even if she does get on my case about my Conjuration magic: "you keep your distance with that magic!", "that spell looks dangerous!"

NPCs are almost as much fun to mimic as Dremora Lords... Naaah.

I gave Teldryn Sero Sanguine Rose, so it's been a Dremora party. I love it.

Next on my agenda: Dremora Lord Thrall.

I HONOR MY LORD, BY DESTROYING YOU!

^ Hmm. Sounds like it's not a reliable summon. That stinks.


The full description of the enchantment Konahrik's Privilege is "When low on health, has a chance to heal wearer and damage nearby enemies, or summon a powerful Dragon Priest defender".

Although I'm low on health pretty often. Image IPB

I always use a follower. UFO sets them so they don't attack unless the player is detected. That plus Follower Trap Safety has made it pretty pain-free. I always have magic resist equipment so I don't mind a little friendly fire. It's give and take in that department. lol

I'm level fifty now with maxed Conjuration, Illusion, and Alteration (Don't know any Adept+ Alt spells yet) and I'm finding Illusion to be less than useful. Too often the enemy is immune to Harmony or a dual casted Pacify.


That's weird. Did you pick all the relevant perks (Hypnotic Gaze, Kindred Mage, Animage, etc.)?
I hardly ever found anyone resisting Illusion spells (well except the dragons... and undead+constructs - but only before Master of the Mind). Other then perks, pots can also be of help. Becoming a vampire gives a 25% passive boost as well.

Once it doesn't fix Mercer.  I always get him to trigger the trap he warns me about.  Spiked gate 2 da face.

I really hate the fact that the only Blackbriar you can kill is the only decent person in that family (except for the jail cell one, but he doesn't matter)

well. my game of Skyrim bugged- again. First, Vilkas wouldn't leave Jorrvaskar with me to go on his Purity quest... now, started a new game- i get to Windhelm, the "Blood on the Ice" quest had already started- Susanna dead, the priestess, beggar, and Calixco are standing around corpse- but no guard.
>edit< I broke into the Hjerlm house, and that seemed to jumpstart the quest despite the Guard not being at the crime scene.

If i have to restart Skyrim again, i may just wait and play Lost Odyssey instead.

The Unofficial Skyrim Patch mod may fix this, if you are playing on a PC.

^I have never actually maxed out the tree, but I almost always rush my way to 40 in pickpocket and then take the Poisoned Perk asap. It's deceptively useful, and insanely powerful once you become good at alchemy  and sneak.. You can flat out *kill* just about anything with it. You can *stack*  a bunch of poisons into an enemy's inventory  in one go, and  then just sit there and watch them 'drink' every one of them until they die.


That's actually pretty funny :wizard:

I need to get my Pickpocket up to 50 and get the "Extra Pockets" perk... because until i get the "Dual Enchant" perk, i carry weapons for each encounter. Mages? Thunder-bow! Draugr? Fire-Axe!
I'll need the extra capacity... hell, with the Atherium Crown, i've been half tempted to put the Stead on it- a helmet with Weight Capacity+? score!
gotta get the "Charmed Pendant" from the drunken Revelers... i've done it before, but i keep forgetting how to get it... gotta remember how to ask for a second.

the "Poisoned" perk is nice for some Dark Brotherhood marks... the orcish bard in Morthal, for one. Once, at the end, I had slipped the ambitious councilmen a mikey and the Whispering Lady cackled [i had the Ebony Blade with me].

speaking of which, i gotta jot down names of the "friends" ive made that I wouldn't mind never seeing again- to fuel the Ebony Blade.

Speaking of "Dual Enchanting", if only i could temper Silver Swords. I could make a "Faux Dawnbreaker" ala Fiery Soul Trap w/ Turn Undead.
