PC gets 9 hotkeys I believe.
Damn, the PC version is a lot better, what with mods and stuff.

I started playing Skyrim a few days ago. Still trying to find out what the buzz is all about. I honestly don't see anything particularly special unless I'm missing something no expression

Possibly the overall package with all the content. I am liking the better combat mechanics and I find the graphics and design are pretty cool to me. However the game is far from being Jesus's 2nd coming.

Arkham City on the other hand...

Oh!! I haven't played Oblivion or any of the Elder Scrolls so I was just wondering. At least magic is useful which I find uncommon in other games.

I wonder what the new game after this will be? And if they'll make the Khajit the dominant people or center the story around their struggles.
I've also read books about the different eras of Tamriel, and it would be cool if they went all the way back to the 1st or 2nd era. I also miss the Indoril and their cool looking medium armor from Morrowind. Hopefully it won't take another 4-5 years to make. I mean that is if they make another game. I have a couple of gripes about the Elder Scrolls games. Their beastiary needs improvement in terms of more types of monsters, and the Daedric armor should have come in a light armor flavor. I also didn't like that they took out the acrobatics perk, and still don't like it, athletics was another perk that they should have never touched.

well, i would be surprised if the next story didn't take place in the somerset isles (where the altmer live) especially with all the buzz about the thalmor or whatever in skyrim.

That's odd. It took me 59 minutes.

For people who played Dark Souls and this:

Which do I want first? Both are insane timesinks, so I'm going to get one for now and wait on the other.

Basically, I guess I'm asking which is the better game?

That's true of PC games in general. ^_^

Some of the mods can be downright scary, though.. (*Coughpedobearcough*)

It depends on what you are looking for.

If you want an immersive sandbox world and an all-around great RPG, I'd go with Skyrim.

If you want an intricate gameplay system that is very fun and rewarding, go with Dark Souls.

Though really, I personally have every intention to get both.

Also, Stoic, I would bet on the Summerset Isles being the next location for the series, now that the Aldmeri Dominion is so prominent in the setting.

Okay, I need some advice.

I purchased this game a few days ago and I am at a level 13.

I need to know what to invest my perks into. I hear from one of my employees that I need to invest in enchant and blacksmithing. I like to use...everything. I like to use two-handed weapons, one-handed weapons, magika (destruction and illusion), archery, and so forth.


In fact, the only thing I do not care about much is alchemy.


Here are the perks:

Archery (16)

Block (13)

Heavy Armor (12)

One-Handed (21)

Two-Handed (19)

Smithing (10)

Alteration (14)

Conjuration (16)

Destruction (17)

Illusion (13)

Restoration (13)

Enchanting (15)

Alchemy (15)

Light Armor (10)

Lockpicking (11)

Pickpocket (12)

Sneak (13)

Speech (13)


I listed all the possible investments because you can only go up to level 70. That means you get 70 (wait, it says 81 on the wiki) perks to invest in. That means you can't get everything without console commands (and I have this thing where I will not cheat in a game unless I have beaten it at least once...so I want to do this right).

Based on that, what should I be investing in?

I have invested into pickpocketing because I power-leveled that all the way up to 100 (I found a dude in Riften that you can pick-pocket over and over in Riften and he can't do anything about it. It's awesome. Not cheating because it is a natural part of the game.) However, I kept a separate save just in case you guys give me better advice.



So what should I invest in? I don't want the answer, "Whatever you want." I want sound advice. This game is obviously not perfectly balanced to warrant a "whatever you want." Since I use all sorts of things, I don't really know what to invest in.


I am an assassin type character: I like to sneak and kill people from a distance. I always play sniper in any game I can because I like doing it. So I know I will want to invest in archery. But don't I need smithing and enchant to make my swords and bows better?

Restoration seems like a stupid investment because your health already replinishes and you can just buy health potions: seems like a stupid perk path.


Okay, I'll shutup, now.


Edit - Looks like dagger is something I will be using a lot. So I would need to level one-handed. Any suggestions? Should I duel weild daggers and invest in all thief and enchant stuff? (Leave out restoration, alchemy, and blocking, for intance.)

I invested in Archery, Sneaking, Light Armour, and Smithing and a bit One Handed weapon to combat foes that are less susceptible to arrows (those pesky machines).

I had the same character as you did.

Smithing is important because you can get some pretty damn good light armour and you can create some powerful bows (I remember one of them being around 90 or higher). Enchanting I didn't find important at all. I never used it.
