one of the things i really fucking love about this game is how people will comment on what i'm wearing

'light armor, eh? good for sneaking and getting away in a hurry. i like your style.'

'hey, you're like me! one-handed weapons are the way to go - greatswords are just too goddamn slow'

preach on, brother

and once, from a town guard, after i'd finished the dark brotherhood

Psst. Hey. I know who you are. Hail Sithis.

Janson

Yes this is a game I am currently not playing

hurry up, hometime

Langly

Yeah I love that guards will see me in the thieves' guild armor and be like hey I'm watching you

PiptheFair

finally 100 speech

I had a dude look at me and say "From your outfit I'd guess you're an Imperial scout. Good, we could use more of you around here."

Turambar

Do you get smithing skill from improving weapons?

KrunkMcGrunk

Daw, I just made a thread. Waited too long to pull the trigger.

Orik rules, Krunk drools.

Langly

speech is so hard to level.

Ubik

oh man Uthgerd is such a better companion than Lydia

she's all like "hey there's a cave over there" and "heads up, there's trouble ahead"

Lydia was all like "wah wah i have to carry this awesome sword you're letting me use"

i'm glad she's dead

End

Favor the bow, eh? I'm a sword guy myself.

Kusuguttai

i like how pc people have to do all this shit to make the game work

i just have to put the game in my xbox and it works perfect!

it's probably the thing that contributes most to me feeling like i'm in a living world - people actually audibly react to shit!

end of dark brotherhood

just before i was betrayed by caro, as i was walking into the Emperor's temporary hideout to cook him a lil somethin' someone said 'man. i don't trust these Legion types - if a noblewoman was murdered at her own wedding, not even the Emperor is safe.

and i was like :coolguy:

Langly

I downloaded the game from steam and pushed start

and it started

i'm waiting for tweakguides to post their ini tweaks so i can have it look even more awesome, since everything is maxed atm

End

I watched it decrypt for several minutes

then I pushed start

yeah

Langly

also anything you have to do on the PC is offset by the mods and console abilities for any bugs you get.

BugBoy

I can't play it at all because I am on a mac

so I just read this thread and pretend

Yeah the guards say that to me too and I just got into the brotherhood.

Like I killed maybe 4 people and the fucking town guard is all aware of it and shit.

Another time a guard was like

"Hey you killed that bum outside of Ivarstag..."

which sent me into a panic and I wheeled around and he finished with

"good job, that guy was a waste of space."

The fuck

Langly

plus it looks better and you have a thousand hotkey combination

bugboy if you ain't got a pc buy it for xbox or ps3

Peen

I hate that you guys have played this so much and I've played it so little. Quick, someone gimme your flu or other debilitating but not crippling disease.

Moriveth

Basically anyone who acts like a butt about the PC or console versions of this game is, well, a butt

I Win Swordfights

I had a deadric mace and some chick was like "GET THAT MACE AWAY FROM ME"

The gods gave you two hands, and you use them both for your weapon. I can respect that.

shit yeah you better respect that

Yeah same.

Fucking hastle if you ask me,

Janson

I like using my dragonborn powers indoors and then having pissy guards coming and telling me off

Also, have not found a good one-handed weapon yet but then I've only played for like 3 hours so

KrunkMcGrunk

God. I'm still half-way through Whiterun, with, I think 15 hours in playtime. No idea how I'm ever going to finish this game.

Ubik

are all the shout powers tied up in the main quest or can you find them randomly by dungeoneering?

Orikaeshigitae

hey guys let's make a list of awesome questlines and i'll put them in the op

here, i'll start

dark brotherhood, started in: winterhold
thieves' guild, started in: riften
main quest (surprisingly! i recant my earlier complaints)
hangover quest, started in: whiterun

Riale

I wish there was a little more thought put in to which responses they'd use, though. All I ever hear is the two-handed chatter, but my one-handed skill is 65 and my two handed is like, 30. Guards seem to enjoy talking about my least-used skills, because they go on and on about my sneakiness and archery to my beefy warrior in orcish armor wielding a war axe who is the opposite of stealthy.

Mysst

that one where the bard is bothering carmilla in whiterun

JoeUser

So I don't have this yet, but how does it compare to Morrowind and Oblivion?

Orikaeshigitae

one time a dude was like 'hey, enchant my weapon, it's heavy' and i punched him in the face

End

it's better than oblivion
the overall theme and quest lines are pretty top-notch. the leveling system seems less dumb

I've never played morrowind

T4CT

Your hands are on fire


was probably the best line I've heard from this game

Completely blows them both the fuck out of the water. It goes a long way towards improving the series' characteristic flaws.
