Going to finish the Thieve's Guild today. Supposed to start a new job sometime this week, so not much game time for me in the future it seems.

I will be doing the Dark Brotherhood after I do the Imperial side of the War.

I might spend a few hours ambushing Thalmor patrols. I'll murder them and dump their bodies down the nearest ravine. Those Forsworn and Hargravens gotta eat. I don't think they'll find a better source of food than a constant supply of haughty elf meat.

Sara Lynn

I am going to play this today. I've been letting Annie get some UMvC out of his system.

I need to kill this lich guy DANG

Squall

so is there a code to make NPCs non-hostile? I was exploring south of Ivarstead and a blood dragon appeared to be bested by myself, six imperial troops and a horse (MVP)

only one troop made it out, and that was a legate that is unkillable, but he's completely hostile even when i lower my weapon or travel somewhere else

mustve accidentally hit him with an arrow

SCREECH OF THE FARG

is there any nice directed way to kill lotsa thalmor?

Hobnail

The fire breath shout with all three words is definitley a crowd pleaser

MrMonroe

why do so many people keep spelling it "Thieve's Guild?" Who is Thieve?

"Thieves' Guild"

dbrock270

Finished the main quest and the Legion quest line yesterday.

Just about to finish the Dark Brotherhood.

Holy shit when I saw Astrid's body after the fire.

Mercade

I've had this game for a week and have restarted like five times trying to get a guy made that fits. Finally settled on what's basically a Nord paladin. Smashing things in the face with a shield is so fun. At first the game seemed overwhelming with all the things you can do, but as long as you're doing something, you can't go wrong. Best game.

he cleaves skulls

whereas i skulk around in a dress

My friend and I are cross referencing our record of Dragon Priest locations and drawing up a hit list

Sleepless

So I'm just wandering to the west of Whiterun, doing nothing in particular when lo' I see this huge castle in the distance. Being the crafty orc I happen to be, I take a detour and scale the mountain behind it via a well hidden path.

Cue base jumping Forsworn murder spree.

Weeaboolits

Has anyone else playing the 360 version had the game occasionally lock up the console? I wanna know if it's the game doing it, or if there's something going south with my hardware.

Personface

I get occasional total freezes, but they seem to be less frequent as time goes on.

Personface

I'm playing with the game installed to the hard drive, so that might make a difference somehow?

I don't think its your xbox, because I'm experiencing the same problems. However the game never appears to fully lock up, but it has taken an exorbitant amount of time to bring up the loading screen for me on occasion.

Langly

Is there a respec mod out yet?

I'm happy with my perks but there are like, two I want to change

captaink

Could always try the console.

Somewhat

edit:

Someone in the discussion thread for that changed it up where you could just respec certain trees rather than all of them at once

Perhaps it might be better to split up the bat respec part into each area so you could type something like bat respecheavy to clear heavy armor bat respeclight for light, etc. instead of just clearing everything at once.

Hope you don't mind, I went ahead and did it. Here it is split up into the separate trees. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9236726/respectrees.zip

These just remove all the points in each specific section with commands like bat respecheavy or bat respecconjuration

redhead

there are enough console commands here to let you respec manually if you want to. i used them to transform my previous character into a sneaking god before i deleted it cuz i wanted to see if stealth would be any fun in this game

Depressperado

On the subject of steampunk,

Dwemer are steampunk as shit,

they could not get enough of extraneous gears,

they put that shit on the bottom of their cups, their bowls have rivets.

Depressperado

I actually use that instead of going through the intro dungeon when I start a new character, redhead.

I have a save right in front of the warrior/thief/mage stones and I just use that to change my race and appearance and pick a stone and off I go, skipping that lameeee dungeon

FirmSkater

Awesome. I'll probably respec my smithing points once I've finished my armor sets up. Seems like such a waste of points.

Langly

See I don't want to do that, I like having the points even if I don't use them much more than making my aromor. To me, that's the cost of getting great stuff.

I just have a point in speech and one somewhwre else that regret and want to put into alchemy so I can poison better.

Sleepless

A full suit of Dwemer armor is a lot like walking around as the Iron Giant if he were less "sooperman" and more emotionless death machine.

dbrock270

Finished the Dark Brotherhood. My fully upgraded sanctuary looks pretty nice.

On to the College of Winterhold.

Langly

I really need to finish thieves' guild

But

You gotta give up this item to do it, and it is so handy

rhylith

"like a horrible monster turned inside out...then it exploded.". Holy shit this reference rules.

Langly

Haha, whwre is that

Hobnail

I love how the female set of Dwarven armour has a mega-creepy Mona Lisa smile instead of a grimace.

Retaba

Regarding the end of the dark brotherhood

Was the Emperor really a bad guy? Akatosh seemed to have given him the dreams that fortold his death like Uriel had. He didn't really seem all that bad.
Still killed him to clear the way for me, eventually hehehe.

Also what armor does a Khajit look best in? Trying to figure out which one I should craft for my follower

rhylith

In the inn outside the mage's college

Squall

i am murdering everything with a bow from miles away

it's great

oh man, I never imagined

turning on the Dark Brotherhood

would be so satisfying

Baidol

I am trying to release the guy from Northwatch Keep peacefully and apparently I need a set of Legionnaire armor to do it. I already sold my set. Anyone know where I can acquire one?

As7

So yesterday I got into a quest involving cannibals.

Somehow, this cannibal lady got it in her head that I shared her dietary preferences. Fortunately all this meant was that she invited me to a cave and helped me clear it of undead.

Afterward she assumed I was all chill with her cannibal ways and was all "go get us some dinner for the feast tonight."

So I put a stop to her there and then. Unfortunately, the other cannibals don't seem to have recognized my decision and seem to think I'm opne of their "brothers." It's kinda gross.

Dichotomy

I have a problem with making characters

but I think I'll be sticking with sword and board orc (sworboaror) for the long haul

Beasteh

orc with heavy armor, mace, shield and restoration +smithing and enchanting

thats my next character
