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]

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

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

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

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

[Scarlett.]

The new Dark Brotherhood is awesome :3

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

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

[Scarlett.]

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]

so the old lady died for nothing then

[Scarlett.]

Yep, you evil bastard

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.]

Haha, I totally have to go there xD

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

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

[Stu]

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]

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

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.]

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]

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 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]

the house of horrors quest is actually scary ah\

[Samuel.]

I hate my postman.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

did you preorder?

[Samuel.]

Nah, ordered it on Saturday

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

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

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 but i was with a priestess at azuras shrine so its k. so glad azuras star is back thats the best daedric artifact imo i lost vaerminas artifact (i wont say how coz das spoilers)

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

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]

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

/stops talking to myself now

[Stu]

Look at the second post of this thread.

[Roy Mars III]

Really regretting choosing to be a Khajiit
