It is of importance that you adjust the volume to be just right between the game and the stream though so you can fully enjoy both. God do I love my dual monitor setup. | ||

Now i'm looking for a real challenge in skyrim and gonna play master level. I'm looking to build some kind of battlemag. F.E: The guy you encounter just before blackreach in the drawven mine, he is battling to death with his partner (a 1H/Shield girl-). After defeating them i knew i wanted to be him for my next playthrough. He had fireballs and a 1H enchanted blade and a hugh armor, he really looked awesome! If i wanna go with the same idea what should i first focus on? (knowing i will play at master level) 1H? Heavy armor? Shield or no shield? What kind of magic should i focus? I really like destruction but is summoning creatures for tanks better? Is speechcraft useless? I'm kinda tired of the 2lines options for responses. I wanna have lots of options! Thanks for the helps guys! Destruction in one hand is really bad, you have to double cast the spells to be really worth it and while magic wants you to stay far away you will have to get close to hit them with the sword. You're just gonna eventually go full one or the other because they have no synergy and it will get annoying. Sonjuring is good but pretty boring as you only get like one minion and then two at the very end, it will basically play just like your other character except with a buddy. Speech is good just because of the merchant bonuses, the dialogue stays simple. If you wanna play something different than tanky melee your only choices are really full mage or sneak attack/bow. You can do other hybrid builds but they really wont play any differently. | ||

I got it around noon on Friday. The most epic moment was when I fell off a mountainside whilst riding on my horse, right on top of a resting dragon. He decided he didn't like that and came to life and flew off. That in turn thrust me up into the air and I flew like halfway across Skyrim before going splat against the ground. Fun times. | ||

On November 18 2011 06:05 Horuku wrote: I got extremely bored of this game, the travel times between quests is excruciating and boring. I ended up turning on god mode, turning up my player speed and just flying around and I was still extremely bored. The combat is very generic and seems skilless to the point of just mashing attacks while you run around in circles. Gets old fast. Oblivion was also extremely boring to me though. I figure most the fun in this game comes from making your own fun pretending you're in the world, but I find that hard to do when the world feels so empty. I'll stick with more action orientated RPGs though definitely :/ (i.e. Diablo and Dungeon Siege 1/2 esque). Also, it really just feels like a re-skinned Fallout 3 (or whichever way you prefer to look at it, I forgot which came first, Oblivion or Fallout 3). I can understand a lot of your boredom for the game. It's the exact same reason why I don't like turning up the difficulty in Oblivion/Fallout/Skyrim either, because it doesn't really make it take much more skill, it just makes it take longer (and cost more if you're spamming potions) because enemies take 1000 slashes to kill instead of 10 and you have to take time out to avoid attacks/heal up and stuff. I also can't imagine the game being fun when you're an all-powerful person and just kill everyone (either with god mode and flying like you did, or with the hundreds of "epic loot" drops you get throughout the game). The way I've found that I can enjoy this game the most is to set restrictions on myself to make it more challenging, and maybe it could help you enjoy it more too. Stuff like you're only allowed to carry a realistic, X small amount of items/weapons and nothing more (so if you find a bunch of crap in a dungeon or something, you can only carry 1 or 2 things out maybe), or you aren't allowed to use health potions/restoration magic, or if your character dies you have to start a new one. The most fun I've had with every Bethesda game I've played is having at least some self imposed restrictions to make the game more of a challenge without actually turning up the difficulty, because I agree, hitting a dude 500 times for half an hour isn't my idea of a fun, "epic" battle. The most entertaining part of the game for me personally as well is just doing quests, rather than grinding out dungeon after dungeon which it seems like a lot of people like to do. I do like exploring quite a lot also, but sometimes I'll totally ignore dungeons, dragons, or other enemies if I don't really want to do them at the time. I feel like grinding out every single thing I come across would make the game boring for me. Anyway, there's quite a lot to do in the game so hopefully if you just experiment some more you can find something that's more entertaining for you. Can totally understand how you feel though. | ||

I first played it midnight of last week so I'm averaging a little over 6 hours a day. I'm having a weird bug with trying to wield duel daggers. I can wield them fine but it's impossible to hotkey them because it'll randomly treat them as 2 different items so I can't press 1 twice to get both. | ||

I turned on the cheats after playing for about 5 hours just to speed things up. Fast travel doesn't work when you have to run halfway across the world. You know there is cart you can pay 20-50g to take you to any city at stables? I never ran across the world. Farthest I traveled was like whiterun to rorikstead. But it's cool if you just don't like rpg tho. Lots of my friends are like that. There are games/genres I hate myself. (cough... CoD cough...) I personally play rpg as like a movie/tv substitute. See pretty graphics and nice story that you get to participate in. I usually love the more linear ones but Skyrim manages to have sick quests/story/graphics while being so open and expansive. Anyone know if there is level cap? There must be since there is only so many skill to level but I was curious if there was artificial cap before that? Guessing 50 | ||
