Kimberly Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Dad bought me Skyrim via Amazon. Shipped and got here today via USPS. They started packaging it in really flimsy cases instead of the slightly more firm xbox clamshell, plus the thin and flimsy boxes amazon uses to ship single-item media like CD's and video games and...well, when I opened the box, the cd looked more like multiple pizza slices. Thanks Amazon, stay classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albel Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Beat the main story... I will say that the ending was not as awesome as I thought it was going to be. I'm level 33 right now with 100 smithing... kinda happy at the moment since I have full dragon scale armor.

Skully Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 It does end up quite abrubtly doesn't it. 100 smithing seems to be the 100 everybody gets lol, not hating though I did it too. I wanna get to 100 enchanting at some point, what's the quickest way to level that? Didn't really have the need to touch enchanting thusfar other than recharging my enchanted stuff i'd found.

Didn't really have the need to touch enchanting thusfar other than recharging my enchanted stuff i'd found.Because with smithing you still get a decent ammount of experince at higher levels, other skills are really grindy at higher levels, that and since you get the same exp for smithing anything smithing can be cheap and fast to level up. Going specifically on enchanting, you have to buy the soul gems, fill the soul gems, get some armor/weapons to enchant, go through each of the menus for every item you want to enchant, and repeat. It's very time consuming and rather expensive. Then you have the fact that there seems to be no master level enchanting trainer in skyrim. so from 75 to 100 all that training has to be you at an enchanting table.

There is a master enchanter in Markarth. I personally collected all my soul gems from creatures. You can find many of them in Dwemer ruins or necromancer dens.

Albel Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Cool thing to do is to make iron daggers, and go around all the major towns and buy all the petty and lesser soul gems, then use soul trap on very weak things; Mud crabs, deer ect... Once you do that enchant to daggers then sell them for money. I went from level 35 to level 50 enchanting and made like 3k gold without really trying in one trip. It takes a while, but most of the friends I have talked to have done that to get enchanting to 100.

homer205 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Disenchanting items is generally good for 1 and a bit levels per item when at lower levels. Though you can only disenchant each type of enchantment once. It also lets you see which type of enchantment is going to add the most to those iron daggers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I got this game and holy [bleep]. It is beautiful. :mrgreen: [hide=Is this even spoiler worthy?

Either I visit the Graybeards or "investigate" the Dark Brotherhood in Winter...city. :unsure: [/hide] Love the interface, love how you train skills, and love perks.

sarg1010 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Well, I 1000/1000'd this game. And I think I've done most everything worth doing in the game... Main quest, rebellion, Mages college, Thieves guild, Dark Brotherhood, Companions, All of the dragon priest masks (9th mask is pretty sweet), and the Daedric quests. Only thing left to really do is find about 8 more Stones of Barenziah, and one "Secondary" quest, which involves fetching a few books. Other than that... not much left to do. <_< Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!

Drazhor Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I have "Blood on the ice" quest glitched for me in Windhelm...Can't buy the house there now :( Only need to get married for the 1000/1000'd so i'll do that...sometime I guess! Also, as it turns out, Elder dragons and Ancient dragons love to stalk me. Every time I fast travel anywhere, one or the other (or both as I luckily got earlier) attacks me :( Their melee attacks don't like me. At all.

Sprint Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Are you sure it's glitched? I got the map markers glitched but I could still do it, just nothing pointing me where to go. Not that I needed arrows for that quest anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furah Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 100 sneak + the related perk is pretty bad arse. You can assassinate someone, and if a guard notices you then you just crouch and watch him walk away saying he must be seeing things. Yes you idiot, you just saw me slit that woman's throat, and then crouch when you came over here. Steam | PM me for BBM PIN Nine naked men is a technological achievement. Quote of 2013.

Drazhor Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Sadly it's the Xbox version I have so I'll have to wait until they can patch it up :( and not the only thing- the instruments from the bard's college quests were found before I stared the quests and it tells me to try to find them still...now I have some burdening instruments in my inventory :(The problem also happens with a few other "retrieve X item from location Y" quests, now I have a few books that I can't remove either!
