So has anyone else brought companions to become blades? Its actually pretty cool. Lydia, aelia, and breyna all became dragon hunters for me.

Apparently it works with any companion. Looks like its time to break the game with some console commands...

I find the Blades rather pathetic, to be honest. I want nothing to do with them. Not to mention I'm sure I already cleared all dragon lairs on my own.


Yea, thir glory days are over.
Personally I started to hate the blades after they ordered me to kill Paarthurnax. Never!


I started to hate the Blades when they recalled Caius Cosades to the Imperial City :(.

Oh yeah, how does sneak attacks with a bow work? You pull a knife from the dimensional pocket and use it?


You must be crouching, and the icon in the middle of the screen must be flat - and when you shoot, you'll know you made a successful sneak attack if you hear a "drum" sound after it hits.

You can get a perk that increases sneak damage with a bow 3x, so get that if you haven't already. Combine it with a good, strong bow and arrows and a good poison, and you'll be dominating your enemies pretty quickly. I managed to clear out Shimmermist Cave at a very low level this way.

It doesn't need to be flat, as long as it isn't wide open and highlighted (meaning you've been spotted). I manage to shoot some 2-3 arrows and get sneak attacks before I'm detected, but hey, I've got no archery/sneaking perks! =)

Now, I have lots of this and I love it!

Also Steady Hand perk does wonders for this. It allows you to fire off several 3x arrows before enemies catch on to you.

Ah yes, I forgot about that one. Does wonders for hitting moving targets from a distance, as well.

It's funny because I never used or needed Sneak or Archery in previous TES games - but in Skyrim I don't know how I'd manage without them. It makes life so much easier, and opens up a lot of opportunities in the game as well (Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood, two factions I'd never bothered with in previous games).

OK, there is such a thing as too many companions.

Normally it's just Mjoll and I. I pick up Vigilance the warhound in Markarth out of obligation that I need a dog. What fighting Nord wouldn't have his own warhound?

Well, there we are in a tight cave, fighting run-of-the-mill Forsworn. Mjoll conjures a familiar...now there's four of us. We ended up outnumbering the baddies. An embarassment of riches I suppose. The staff stays at home next trip.

I feel bad now. In my battlemage playthrough I murdered Uthgerd in the wilderness for her armour and then when I got back into Whiterun I received a letter saying she had left me her house and 300 gold in her will.

Get Barbas for a hound, he's invincible.
My party was unstopabble, consisting of the indestructable Barbas, the near indestructable Shadowmere, Mjoll, her familiar and a Demora summoned by a giant rose.

Dead Thrall > any companions.

Especially when they're mages. Having a master conjurer or arch necromancer as thrall is pretty fun. I've been using the insane necromancer Arondil lately. Using one of the Afflicted as thrall is fun too (especially the Afflicted mage boss since he can teleport in battle).

And if they die... you can simply resurrect them.

I disagree Virumor, and I am a necromancer fanatic. :/ Without the ability to command them or trade items it gets annoying, especially when you have to constantly kill them to do stuff. They also seem to have buggier AI.

Love the concept of them though.

And this discussion is pointless anyway.   a True Dark Brother doesn't do it for the money.  He does it for the glory of Sithis.    The Kill itself is the reward.


Screw Sithis. My assassin does it for the money. Being an assasin is as much a job as anything else. You get a contract, you carry it out, you recieve the payment and you repeat. It's pure business for my assasin character.

My assasin is also a thief and a Nightingale by the way. When he isn't doing jobs for the Brotherhood, he's getting his hands dirty on someone else's belongings. Killing is my job. Stealing is my hobby. :ph34r:

Horses  become  extremely  handy when you've just cleared a dungeon and you're overencumbered and you really want to fast travel to the other end of skyrim to unload your stuff. Without a horse, you're SOL in that situation  (unless you enjoy walking really. really. slow....forever.)  But with a Horse, you're good to go.


Exactly!!!!


And that's about it on their usefulness, I think.

They also:

1) sprint faster  and infinitely longer than you can on foot
2) they can jump higher than you can on foot
3) they can  climb steeper mountain slopes than you can on foot

And an added bonus I noticed:  For those of you who like to roleplay wildlife hunters....  Deer, elk, goats, and foxes do not run away from Horses.  So if you're on a horse you can gallop right up to, say, a deer, then get off the horse and kill the deer before it even decides to move.

At this point I drop something heavy that I don't need and move on.


QFT.  Yes, there are some minor advantages to horses, mainly - IMO - ability to travel when overloaded.  But really, I'm such a loot-****, I'm running around with thousands of gold constantly, so I can afford to drop some heavy, underpriced POS - iron armor is usually a good candidate.

Those advantages I think are more than offset by the disadvantages - needing to get off to fight all the time, their propensity to die, and more annoyingly, their habit of VANISHING while I'm killing something I just had to get off my horse to kill.

As for butterflies - anyone else find it a bit...creepy?  disturbing?...that all you do to them is rip their wings off?  Kind of . . serial killer in training-ish, ain't it?  Posted Image

I don't use a horse a lot because all the advantages don't mean as much if you're using a companion.  They're good at climbing but you're companion can't follow they have to take some alterbate route.

As far as being overcumbered, I just carry potions that increase my capacity for a 300 secs (5 min).  I drink it and it last long enough for me to get out of where I'm at and fast travel somewhere.  I also have a ring and necklace that increase capacity for when I need it.

I take it that was a bad review? I couldn't handle the white-boy gangsta routine to actually watch it.

Skyrim is so engrossing, it's eating up all my spare time ... and a lot of it that's not spare time.

Reading books, smithing, enchanting, smithing, mining, smithing, etc., etc. ...

Climbing to the top of a mountain just to see what can be seen ...

Following foxes to see what they might lead me to ...

Shooting fish out of mid-air in the far ... far ... north.

Wow ...

Favorite npc quote so far:

"Is that ... HAIR growing out of your ears?"

Ha!!!

It's the little things that really put the finishing touch on Skyrim.

Sigh, I've played this game for over 100 hours and have still not picked Empire or Stormcloaks.

I know I fail :(

That happened to me the first time as well (with a different follower). You are supposed to talk to her before she leaves. During the dialog she asks where you want to live and offers her home as an option, giving you a key. She then tells you she will meet you at "home" and you get a new quest to meet her there.

I have no intention of doing that for quite some time.

I have no idea at this point who to choose - after all, the Empire tried to kill me for, I think, not being on their list of people to kill (how dare I show up without an invitation!!!!), and Ulfric seems like an idiot.

Besides that, I have enough quests to keep me busy at the moment, along with simply wandering around aimlessly, seeing what there is to see.
