Day 1 Blog





I got my smithing up to 100, and farmed a bunch of dungeons around Skyrim for enough gold to buy a house and make me some dragonscale / ebony armor (using a mixture of both). I finally managed to take down Kvenel the Tongue using sneak + bow/arrow. I also completed the whole College of Winterhold quest series, so now I'm Arch Mage Xeris (do you get any actual perks besides the random items + arch mage quarters??)!

I guess I'm having trouble picking a path... I train in both fighting skills and have invested in good armor, but I also want to be adept at magic... does the game allow you to become a master at both things? I think it'd make me pretty imba.

Also got myself up to lvl 31, and I think I'm going to be grinding out enchantment next so I can enchant all my equipment with different things.

Also had some really awesome exchange in which I kited a dragon, two giants, and three mammoths, it took me about 40 minutes to do.

Still really loving the game, although I wish there was a way to remove random misc quests from your quest log. Also, I think there's a bug, because I had a random quest where I was supposed to kill a giant for the Jarl of Whiterun, and I did, but there's no option to receive my bounty, so that quest is just stuck in my log T_T!

I think before continuing the main story I'm going to do all my dumb sidequests... such as visiting the MUSEUM weeeeeeee ~_~


That's it for now!

smithing is the shit! I got mine to level 100 pretty quickly too, definitely worth it. I definitely recommend using one complete set because there is a perk for heavy or light armor, if you wear a matching set the armor weighs nothing, which is a huge benefit for adding in more loot. Also try and work on enchanting, I can't tell you how boss it is. If you get the first perk to 5/5 so you have 100% better enchantments you will notice you'll be able to make better enchanted items then the ones you find in game, even the special armors they give you from the guild. Also at 100 and the last perk allows for two enchantment per item, which I'm working towards.

The museum quest is pretty cool (especially if you played Oblivion).

I have a similar thing to the Whiterun giant quest going on in Riften:

+ Show Spoiler +
I took over Riften with the legion and put Maven Black-Briar in as Jarl, and she won't make me the thane even though I've completed all the requirements (the Riften house is really nice, actually).


I'm going to reiterate what I said in the last blog; if you level up based on noncombat skills (enchanting, speech, smithing, etc.), you'll have a more difficult time dealing with the harder baddies that spawn with higher levels. Keep that in mind.

You're sad about no perks for completing the College of Winterhold series? You get the best possible armor for mages! The archmage robes are unbelievably good, let alone the mask. Also, there is a repeatable quest that nets you 1000 gold each time you complete it, talk to Tolfdir.

Which mask (the 100% magicka regen one)? I think I sold it to an NPC cuz I didn't think it was good T_T! Do those abilities stack, I.E. 100% regen mask, and 100% regen robe == 200% regen?

So far I haven't had much trouble... I'm lvl 30 and have pretty good combat skill.

yes; it's kind of silly how things stack cuz you can get 4 pieces of armor with -25% destruction spell cost for a continuous stream of free fireballs, etc.

It's not really 'quick' .. it took me 4 hours probably to grind it, and about 4,000 gold.

I attempted to play this game and gave up after 10 minutes because I was getting a headache and was nauseated. I don't know why I get so dizzy when I play single player 3d games(skyrim, portals, quake 3 arena against bots) but it doesn't occur when I'm playing multiplayer 3d games(quake 3 arena against humans, cs). =/
