Did you guys find any great side-quests? You know, ones where you felt great dev resources were invested, or just had a plain awesome story. For example, I just happened to stumble upon the Boethia's questline, and it's pretty amazing(especially for an outlaw concept).

Will anything ever top the d&d rpgs we had over a decade ago? BG, ID, PT I'm looking at you.

I really enjoyed the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild questlines. I'm liking playing as an asshole thief a lot more than my first character, which was a generic valiant warrior out to save the world and help the people.

There were a few annoying bugs, especially that audio bug with Esbern that caused me to miss out on his dialogue and have to save/reload a bunch of times at one point in the main questline. The only puzzle I found annoying was the one to get the Elder Scroll. I think there must have been a book I missed or something, because there were no clues at all on how to do that, I just had to guess until I figured it out.

Totally agree with you here. I'm having fun with Skyrim despite its many flaws, but I think the best RPG for me will always be Baldur's Gate II (and ToB, the expansion). Soooo many things to do, so many ways to play. Interesting dialogue, tons of rp opportunities.

And the magic in Baldur's Gate was just awesome. Wish spell, Time Stop, Dragon's Breath, etc. etc etc. were all so much cooler than the crap magic they gave us in this game...

Oh well, here's to hoping the mods will be awesome

Edit: Also the main story in BG2 was pretty awesome, the villain was a badass.
Edit edit: Also Dragons in that game were really damn hard if you didn't exploit the AI. Man, BG was the best... *sniffle*

I'm reeeeaaally disappointed that the Light Armor side of Smithing is actually completely worthless at maximum levels.

If you take the Heavy Armor path, you get access to the best Heavy Armor (Daedric), the best Light Armor (Dragonscale), and the best weapons (Daedric + Ebony).

If you take the Light Armor path, you get the best Light Armor (Dragonscale), the second best Heavy Armor (Dragonplate), and the third best weapons in the game (Glass). In fact, Heavy Armor can also produce Dragonplate armor.

I chose the Light Armor side without thinking, but now I'm really regretting it, since Ebony and Daedric weapons look sooo much better than these stupid miniature broadswords >.<

You liked the Thieves Guild questlines sure but did you like how the who Thieves Guild treat you like ass despite the fact that YOU'RE THE GUILD MASTER, and YOU SAVED THEM FROM FAILURE. Sheesh there's just no respect in Skyrim

Oh and just to rub it in there's a scripted dialogue between Vex and Brynwolf (or however that asshat's name is spelled) where she says something along the lines of "Oh I did some extra missions and found a few more clients for the Guild" and Brynwolf says "Thanks Vex you really are the most reliable member of this guild". All I see her doing is standing there with her arms crossed acting like a bitch to me despite all the hard work I've put in. At least Delvin knows how things go around here, although unlike the Companion/Mage Guild endings you can't partner with any of them which sucks because as a thief having someone who can sneak with you is extremely helpful. Hopefully this will get modded in because the sooner the better.

Actually that really pisses me off that some of the thieves guild members treat me like a newbie even though i'm their hero. Oh well.

lol... that's because you didn't finish it. You have to do generic quests in major cities to get special requests that eventually lead up to you finally becoming Guild Master. If you don't have armor labeled Guild Master, you haven't done it yet.

no they still treat you like a newbie and Brynwolf will still ignore you despite the fact you ARE the Guild Master with the guild master armor, which I must say looks exactly the same as their armor which is a huge dissapointment considering how amazing the Nightingale Armor looks.

Need a little help guys. Did anybody here encounter issues with detecting graphic card? My friend have new notebook with geforce card and integrated intel card and Skyrim detects only the intel one. After some googling, we found advices like this, but it didn't help:



Anyone had any success with this?

What difficulty setting are you guys playing at? My two 34 lvl heroes (stealth archer and one-hand/shield swordsman) are too powerful for anything the game throws at them. At one point with the melee hero i attacked 3 giants and 2 mammoths and they couldn't even take 1/20 of my health. And the archer can kill pretty much any enemy before ever being seen. Even dragon priests are easy and dragons are just a joke. I'm thinking of upping the default setting (i think it's Adept, not sure), but it feels kinda iffy to do it at this point and not from the start.
