On occasion, I always get a feeling of satisfaction whenever I play Skyrim. Although I get pissed off when I die, but doesn't every Skyrim Addict? :P

Anyways, don't you just love being equipped with a weapon in one hand and magic in the other? Cause I sure do!

^^ Greetings simplisticseth.

^^ I believe that I enjoy Skyrim very much also. I believe that my happy is a Khajiit character. ^^ I enjoy being very sneaky and attempting defeat oppopnents with my bow (in addition to happy poisons). However, I believe that if opponents become close I enjoy using a one-handed sword (the sword named Dragonbane for the moment) and my healing spell if required. ^^ However I believe that I may indeed attempt to use daggers within the future as my sneaky skill is now rather high (I believe approximately 60).

^^ I believe that I am indeed not very brave whilst fighting dragons as I enjoy hiding within various locations (for instance perhaps within a tower or behind a rock) and firing arrows at this poor dragon.

I'm doing a play through as an Ascetic Monk that only uses conjured weapons and no armour. Conjured weapons can be quite powerful with very few perks.

I quit skyrim recently. I must have made 20 characters, the highest reached level 28 I think. I played on Master after every other difficulty was too easy, and I never took advantage of the easy to abuse skills, which in my opinion break the game. After making so many characters I just got tired of it. But it was fun while it lasted. Last character was a sword and shield user first and foremost, with back up destruction magic.

I'm going all out mage this time. Only lvl 16 yet, Altmer. I've started perhaps 5 or 6 other characters, most archer/one handed type, one Heavy armor - Two Handed. Now it's time to master the arts or magic :DD

I enjoy it, but I think the story could be better.

If you like doing multiple side/miscellaneous quests, then you can't really "explore" sometimes you'll kill someone who you later get a bounty for and that person is already dead and the game won't register it, so I can't hand it in to claim my "reward"

Then there is the brawl with Hofgrir (or whatever) if you deny, you can't go back later as the option never appears again, and he always mentions about that brawl you can't do.

I hope a patch comes along to fix these.

Otherwise, not bad. I might play some later.

No one who's been playing for more then two weeks and has figured out the how dull the main and side quests are, the easily exploitable faults, how crappy the landscape becomes and how games on the PSX had more varied combat animations.

I like it a lot. The game is so massive and immersive that it's easy to sink hours of time into it. I wouldn't call it game of the year, but its fun and offers a ton of play time.

Very good game. Massive and reminds me of fallout a lil bit. Can get a lil confusing at first but is addicting. The first few weeks i had it i was playing nontop.

I liked it a lot.
The only mood breaker for me were the mounain physics... I mean, you actually have a spiderhorse, allowing you to do a straight line to any objective.

Lots of bugs, but in such an open world, I can forgive most of them.

All in all, totally worth my time.

'Twas made by the same people that made fallout 3.


I just ordered it, will post again when it gets here and I spend an entire day playing it :nerdy:

Even more I think they are both made with Gamebryo engine. They both have nearly the same console functions.

Nope, Skyrim was made with the "Creation engine".

I do though I maybe playing it "wrong" cause I spend much more time decorating my home than questing and warring :D

Thanks to mods I have an interracial family of 3 kids: the orphaned farm girl Lucia from Windhelm, a little Khajit and a little Argorian, and in my basement is a spare guestroom for Inigo the Khajit follower and any other potential followers. I also have two pet skeevers, dog , crow and cat and a goat and chicken outside. I probably spend more time than any quest setting the table so that all things are in perfect position, and building my chickens a coop out of straw and firewood :D

I'm not so good with the "roleplaying" thing though, especially when I found out that my character, who's a Wood Elf are supposed to be hunters and I'm a vegetarian. I chose him because it said they have a tame animals ability so I thought that meant they like animals.. My character still doesn't eat meat though, but provides it for his feline child.
