this quest is amazing :amazed:

Spoiler:

this guys house burnt down and the next day he got with this slut so the villagers think he did it because his wife and kid died so somebody paid me to investigate and when i went to the house (nobody else would go coz they said it was cursed) the ghost of the kid was there and she said she would tell me who burned the house down if i played hide and seek with her and won but she could only play at night because 'she' (some other ghost bitch i presume) will only come out when its dark then the kid disappeared and i cant find her :hmph: i used the clairvoyance spell and it led me to the body of a merchant and she was also a ghost (she had a ghost horse too) but i think that has nothing to do with this quest coz she just galloped off and i couldnt catch her D: so idk how im supposed to find this ghost kid im hoping the other ghost she was talking about is some evil witch i get to fight or something

Stu 13-11-2011 03:13 PM

The difficulty spikes are getting insane now. It's like playing Morrowind again. One on one with a tiger with the difficulty on easy takes serious hacking away with constant healing.

I can't find that kid either, Scott. I'll probably revist the quest whenever I buy a detect dead spell.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 13-11-2011 03:15 PM

i didnt even know you could alter the difficulty ._.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 13-11-2011 03:18 PM

also the women in this game are so sassy i love it :love:

some bitch wants me to raid her husbands stash of mead now

Scarlett. 13-11-2011 03:19 PM

The new Dark Brotherhood is awesome :3

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 13-11-2011 03:38 PM

how do you join? i killed an old lady and slept in her bed and nothing happened

Scarlett. 13-11-2011 03:46 PM

Spoiler:

There's someone in Windhelm who is trying to perform the Dark Sacrament, just head to Windhelm and you should hear people talking about it

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 13-11-2011 03:53 PM

so the old lady died for nothing then :sad:

Scarlett. 13-11-2011 03:54 PM

Yep, you evil bastard D:

Stu 13-11-2011 03:55 PM

I really need to focus on one questline. That quest menu has become a scary, massive bucket list.

I'm a student of magic at the college of winterhold now. I mean that. I'm a student. Someone gave me a guided tour earlier on, I had to attend a lecture then, and we've just been on our first field trip where I've learned - would you believe it - that I'm a choosen one of some sort.

In my dorm is a Khajiit who is just there to steal things and an elf who can get you banned items if you use the term "I understand your a man who knows how to get things".

It's awesome.

Scarlett. 13-11-2011 04:03 PM

Haha, I totally have to go there xD

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 13-11-2011 04:03 PM

that orc in charge of the library at the college is a bitch

Stu 13-11-2011 04:17 PM

I love the bloke who always ends up in the backround of whatever room you're in keeping an eye on you.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 13-11-2011 04:21 PM

the old guy who takes you to that temple thing on the first college quest im sure i recognise his voice from somewhere :suspect:

Stu 14-11-2011 12:26 AM

Blatant C+P of another forum post I made :

I'm getting mental difficulty spikes on Skyrim too. I still really like it and I don't want to be the one to complain when I know I'm still going to log at least a hundred more hours on it but I'm a big Elder Scrolls fan and I have to kind of take it as a minor disappointment. The dual wielding just makes things more cumbersome and seems to slow down the pace of the game a great deal. I'd much rather be forced to have just one weapon at a time in addition to a spell to cast with the RB button like it was in Oblivion.

Okay one weapon and one spell you can do that with dual wield anyway sure but something about the system just seems clunky to me. I find having to constantly switch spells through a favourites menu I have to flick through tiring compared to Oblivion's eight hotkeys. I'd never need more than 8 slots anyway and having a spell on demand is much better than a quick cycle through a menu during the middle of a battle.

The rest are mostly nerdy complaints. The interface is dull. I never want to see black and white for the rest of my life. The font is far too narrow. Seeing your character and having everything on a universal, trigger scrolling menu in Oblivion was much better than the B button four way menu thing in Skyrim. I hate not having the NPC's heads take up the TV screen while I talk with them. I don't like having to see them sit halfway across the room when they deliver often lengthy sequences of dialogue.

I realize the game is more streamlined and conventional for the better [most people would I assume appreciate the more freeform one handed weapon skill instead of seperate skill paths for each type of weapon, for instance] but I just can't bring myself to adoring these changes. I stopped liking Final Fantasy when they got rid of world maps and then random battles. I know it's a debilitating and unfeasible thing to keep things roughly the same forever - unless your Nintendo - but yeah. ~Nostalgia.

*goes back to the game*

Scarlett. 14-11-2011 12:30 AM

I agree about the spells, apparently you can favourite them and they come up on a quick menu, I might try that

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 14-11-2011 12:35 PM

has anybody found a detect life spell yet ive been to most of the cities or w/e you call them and i cant find one

and the hotkey thing in oblivion is worse imo D: it doesnt pause the game and trying to get a spell that is in the northwest corner of the little compas hotkey thingy that pops up is really difficult especially in the middle of a battle

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 14-11-2011 08:17 PM

the house of horrors quest is actually scary ah\

Samuel. 14-11-2011 08:29 PM

I hate my postman.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 14-11-2011 08:31 PM

did you preorder? D:

Samuel. 14-11-2011 08:37 PM

Nah, ordered it on Saturday :laugh:

But it dispatched the same day as a first class package... I need this game already.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 15-11-2011 12:55 PM

i think the random dragon encounters are only triggered once you complete the first dragon quest in whiterun (kill your first dragon) because i was playing for 20 hours before i did that quest and didnt even see 1 dragon but after completing it i saw 3 within the space of 30 minutes (non quest related) and 2 attacked me at once D: but i was with a priestess at azuras shrine so its k. so glad azuras star is back thats the best daedric artifact imo :worship: i lost vaerminas artifact (i wont say how coz das spoilers)

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 15-11-2011 12:58 PM

and bee tee doubleu stu you dont need a detect dead spell to find the ghost of the kid just go back to the jarl and tell her you saw kids ghost and she tells you where she will be hiding

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 15-11-2011 01:00 PM

and dragons are so easy to kill btw kind of disappointing imo :hmph:

/stops talking to myself now

Stu 15-11-2011 01:13 PM

Look at the second post of this thread.

Roy Mars III 15-11-2011 01:16 PM

Really regretting choosing to be a Khajiit

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 16-11-2011 03:23 PM

the blood on the ice or snow w/e it is quest is sf buggy

Scarlett. 17-11-2011 12:48 AM

I find it hard to side with the rebels, what they're trying to do is get rid of the one thing that is standing between them and the Dominion. The Empire however is keeping a fragile peace so they can try and build a proper resistance to them.

Samuel. 17-11-2011 06:54 AM

I keep getting fined for stealing stuff when I never :suspect:

I stole from an old lady once and she sent hired thugs after me. Bitch.

Scarlett. 18-11-2011 09:13 AM

Just found this cool guide to races

I'm completely absorbed by this game now. All the little interface things I was complaining about earlier have become second nature. And the landscape is beautiful once you see enough of it - especially the volcanic lakes and Dwemmer ruins near Morrowind.

I love that the Dwemmer are back in it.

Scarlett. 18-11-2011 09:32 AM

I'm the same lol, Saints Row The Third arrived today, but I don't think it's gonna be meeting my Xbox for a while xD

EDIT: Forgot to say, big LOL to the avatar

Stu 18-11-2011 06:42 PM

I've just been approached by a talking dog. He sounds exactly like Dog in that episode of Red Dwarf.

Amazing.

Samuel. 18-11-2011 09:38 PM

It took me 20 hours to learn I could sprint...

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 19-11-2011 03:33 PM

my favorite thing to do in this game is use the healing hands spell on all the sexy nord men cus they say ooh that feels good

Samuel. 19-11-2011 04:41 PM

How do you use it on other people?
