    I love hunting in this game. Sure, with heavy armor sometimes it can be a pain if I miss with the bow and I have to chase after a deer, but I also think it can be pretty cool sometimes.

    Me too, except I end up chasing a deer for two miles shooting lightning bolts at it like a madman.

    But yeah some of the daedric artifacts are not the best ever? I think I am going to ditch this shield I have in favor of an ebony or daedric shield of my own design.

    Ebony armor just looks so fucking cool.

    So does steel plate, by the way.

    I really, really love the incredibly wide variety of armor types they threw in here. Seriously, consolidating the armor a bit was a fantastic move. Though I do have to say, I kind of miss being able to make a patch-work guy with different gauntlets and pauldrons and whatnot.

    You can basically run forever with the perks that make heavy armor not wear you down, respite which restores stamina when you use a healing spell, and using a healing spell before when you run out of stamina. My stamina is still at 100 and with those things combined I can run probably well more than a mile in a minute.

    The quest for Azura's Star, the lighting effects in that whole dungeon, especially the last room, spectacular. I still can't figure out how this game has that level of graphics, that much voice acting etc and is less than 10 gigs, yet the Old Republic is 40...

    Ebony does look cool as hell.

    But it ain't got nothing on Daedric.

    That shit is awesome.

    Daedric does look a whole lot better than it used to, but man I have always loved the hell out of ebony.

    I like some of the bits and pieces of daedric, like I got that helmet, and it looks rad.

    Basically I'm having trouble coming up with daedra hearts. Was a little sad to find out you can't get anything (or souls) off of daedra you summon, but it makes sense.

    I do not know how much I like the other daedra stuff. One of the cooler armors in the game. But is it too spiky?

    I really do not like how dragon plate looks though. Scale is a bit better. I do not really know how they could have made it look better though. It almost would have been a waste of a perk to me if it werent for the fact that I can sell the chest piece for a little under 2000 gold if I can find somebody who has the coin.

    I need to check out the other cities and see if there are merchants who got that cash dollar bills.

    Nope. They're static. Still kind of disappointing really.

    Hrm, also the shield I have right now is .. well I guess I will spoiler it
    a shield I got from a daedric quest.. I was excited for it at first, it puts up a ward when you block, but only for 50 points and it seems like I get hit WAY harder than that pretty often, so it has just been kind of a hinderance. And it is supposed to be a dwemer shield but I can't improve it past exquisite for some reason.

    I mean I am not too disappointed because I am glad that they are not quite as game breaking as they used to be.

    Oh, this is good to know.

    The fact that doing Daedric quests at certain levels in Oblivion meaning you get something awesome or something shit was really disappointing.

    Well yeah, but I think it's just kind of weird that the daedric artifacts aren't at the very least as powerful as the ebony weapons you can make. It just feels kind of shitty because they look all kinds of awesome, but not long after you get one chances are good you'll find a normal piece of gear that's better and replace it. Like, when I got Volendrung, which is an awesome looking warhammer, I was stoked, but then found that it was actually weaker than my ebony greatsword, so now it just serves as a neat piece of wall decorating.

    The one thing I don't like about my dual dagger stealth guy is how he starts going mental while stabbing people.

    I'll sneak up and dual dagger power attack someone and my dude is like ARRRGHHH AHHHHHH RRRRARAAAAA.

    And the other bandit standing two metres away doesn't even notice.

    You can use wards and whatnot. And robes can provide some crazy awesome mana regen, when stacked with a ring and amulet and circlet, shit is nuts.

    Also perks. Never ending font of doom.

    For some reason destruction magic feels kind of small to me with just the 3 different types of damage, and the same variations within those 3.

    This game so does not need mods.

    It is so great already.

    I wonder what the good mods will be.

    I think I just have a bad taste in my mouth from spending 9-10 hours modding morrowind and oblivion this year and then playing them for less than an hour each.

    Man I love how random dungeons can turn into the most awesome shit

    Trudged through undead catacombs, beat up a motherfucking undead skeleton king sitting on his giant throne, then beat up a lich on top of a mountain, which taught me how to breathe fire.

    Also got an awesome mask that lets me carry 20 more pounds, breathe underwater and get 20% better prices from merchants.

    Yeah my guy ended up being really similar to yours.

    Every once in a while I stop and think ".. maybe I am becoming a bit overpowered and I should stop"

    Then I go and make 50 iron daggers and enchant them with fire damage so I can sell them to buy more ore and soul gems.

    If it's like Fallout 3 (and I think it is) areas have a certain level range that gets frozen the first time you visit. Like say an area is 15-20. You visit it at level 5 so now it's frozen at 15. It will stay at 15 for whenever you come back but in the meantime you're gonna get your ass kicked.
