I dont mean to whine but do you mind puting things like that and anything to do with quest content or general enemies in spoiler boxes please man? I want to experiance things like that for the first time and I cant help but glance over and find out something before ive actually seen it.

I want to get this game, but I'm over-saturated atm with games. Still haven't beat Deuce Ex: HR, haven't beaten DragonAge even once, still need to beat Gears 3 on insane, still at a low level on Battlefield 3... gotta catch up on those, first. I just can't justify getting a game that's going to require like 100 hours to beat.

Yeah I'll do that from now on, sorry I didn't realize it, It was late, and I wasn't thinking straight. Does anyone know what to do with ore? How is it used? Do you just sell it?

Hm, the Adoring Fan killing my Grand Champion dude rubs me the wrong way.

Just bought my house.

So I have killed a good few dragons now and been up and down the center of the map, being a wizard I went straight to the mage college although a fight I had concering one dragon among other things is detailed below, do not read if youve not gone to Shearpoint but an epic battle is documented below;

Spoiler:
Ok so I apporoache the Dragon sitting atop from behind, it seemed to be asleep so I slowly snuck up on it in the hopes of getting a good look at its face yet little did i know as I followed the mountain round that a Dragon undead priest was entombed there before him and awoke, casting massive fireball attacks that did monstrous damage, summoned atronarcs of frost and chased me at speeds.

I fled down mountain from the Dragon itself and it landed, my lightning blasts being duel weilded did good damage but why not use local help? So I made it chase me amongst some giants who lent their clubs, of course near death a spider snuck up on me and took me down to a tiny bar of health which I desperatly healed with my spells and a antidote for its poison then had to deal with the Giant who decided our friendship wouldnt last despite having downed a Dragon together.

The actual battle with the Dragon priest was my hardest yet, at only level 9 I think I was underleveled for him since it took ages to kill and little time for it to kill me but using terrain as a shield against the fireball avalanches he shot gave me the oppertunity to give him a taste of my thunder and a few arrows from my enchanted bow. I then took on a trio of dragon words from the shrine the Dragon and its priest were guarding. All in all, EPIC.....

I finally figured out what to do with all of this ore that I mined.

Spoiler:
I found a smelter, and it turned them into ingots

Giant's are stronger than the more common Dragon's, I just sat by and witnessed a battle between the two of them... It wasn't even a contest.

The Adoring Fan gets the last laugh!

I was at Riften and got drunk, character blacked out and ended up at Markarth, which is on the other side of the map......it seems i went crazy inside a temple because half my inventory was on the floor and i passed out inside a fountain.

And?

Those are some really shitty rocks. Are you on low graphics settings or something?

Have you been to Birna's shop? She has a bunch of magic fortification items to sell, but they are massively priced and I need them to get into the college, and since I cant afford to buy them all I'm trying to steal them but I can't find where she keeps them! And I've tried pickpocketing/killing her but she doesnt have them on her...

Bah nevermind, apparently those were randomly generated because I reloaded the save game and she had different items disgust

Adoring Fan killed the Champion of Cyrodil? BLASPHEMY!

It's the way I understand it another champion, I mean really who here believes that a guy that closed oblivion gates, killed hordes of Daedra and become Sheogorath is killed in a forest by the adoring fan.

Also I think Bethesda have said that the Champion of Cyradiil is now Sheogorath and as such can't enter Tamriel. It's Bethesda's way of making sure that you don't go around wondering "well what happened to my kickass character, and mostly he is just departed. Nerevarine went across the sea, and CoC is in a pocket universe.

Post your characters!

Which system is everyone playing on?

Ive been messing around with thief, pickpocket and archery and its pretty fun but my aim is pretty horrid.

Had to pull out the frost axe and that thing tore these guards up. Thinking about going dual wield axe or 2h weapon now. I haven't tried the magic classes yet but I did burn the shit out of that spider.

In riverwood at the dragon inn I saw that the woman inside was carrying an orcish bow which was slightly better than my current one and she also had an elvish dagger that i managed to take even though it had a low %

I killed her husband and then went after her but apparently shes impossible to kill cause she gets right back up. *****.

I didn't save though, I was just having fun. Even my backstab didn't work on her.
