    Any regrets?

    Sort of wish I hadn't picked Redguard, since I haven't used Adrenaline Rush more than twice in 60 levels, and poison is such a non-issue. Think I would rather be able to see in the dark or breathe underwater. Apart from that, I seriously debated destroying the Brotherhood, but decided not to...

    What do you play Skyrim on?

    PS3 ... nothing like a big screen. Could do without the save/load times though. Oh, and the lag.

    Not quite a hardcore 'no fast travel' playstyle,

    I finished all the main quests as well, bought all the houses (except Windhelm ... still unable, dangit), maxed alchemy and enchanting (no cheating, no powerleveling), invested in every business that lets me, have more gold that I could ever spend, and every type of weapon and armor imaginable...

    Spoiler Biggest Disappointments

    Great game ... no question. I've dumped many many hours into it. For what it's worth, here are some of the things I wish were better. ... The fact that Sapphire never goes beyond her one dialog option, even after you become guild master. Weird, I know, but this might be the thing that bugs me...

    Review race in skyrim

    I think they could/should have gone a lot further with the race stuff. For example, redguard merchants giving discounts to redguard, etc. Similar race followers granting some type of bonus (or race mixes granting other bonuses). Unique racial quests. Unique racial weapon/armor enhancements...

    You cannot fast travel whilst guards are pursing you

    You can hire a wagon while guards are after you. Did it outside of Solitude with a huge angry mob behind me.

    I have finished all the main quests now what?

    Apart from reading a wiki and getting a complete walkthrough, you could just start exploring. You won't have to look far to uncover a dungeon, cave, fort or quest you've never encountered. The Dark Brotherhood quest starts somewhere in Windhelm. Ask around in inns, etc., and see if anyone in the...

    So why were you captured?

    I kicked a chicken while gathering lavender in another man's garden.

    Creatures you despise the most

    It goes in phases for me. First it was trolls .. the ice troll blocking the trail to High Hrothgar was a whole new kind of challenge for me at that level, followed by the one underneath the Thalmor embassy. Then it was Drauger Deathlords. That mission with the thieves guild dude is memorable for...

    Followers Bad for Sneak Character

    Aela and I make a pretty good sneaking team. She hardly ever gives away our position. Uses a bow as much as I do. I don't like followers dying either, but I only go so far. Every follower gets 3 chances (reloads). If they're killed after that, I figure it's just their fate and I did as much as I...

    Where do you draw the line?

    I had no problem sacrificing a hired mercenary in the Ebony chain quest. He should have known it would be dangerous to hang out with someone who messes with Daedric princes. I'd say he earned his 500 gold. On the other hand, I didn't kill the dog when his daedric master suggested I should. Not...

    Soft Core Skyrim Playstyle

    It's a shame that Skyrim doesn't have a built-in hardcore mode. Fallout New Vegas did a cool job with its Hardcore rendition. You were forced to eat and drink, stimpaks didn't insta-heal, you couldn't sleep off crippled limbs, and ammunition had weight. Sound like pretty trivial changes, but it...

    what hairy FAT creatures you hate fighting the most

    Foresworn Briarhearts ... without question.

    Your strategies and How you make it through the life if Skyrim

    Redguard -- started as a typical sword/shield mercenary, then hooked up with the thieves guild, learned to sneak and use a bow, and rely on that mostly now (lvl 50ish). Went through a necromancy phase, but couldn't stand the smell. Been dabbling in heavy armor, smithing and enchanting lately...

    Soft Core Skyrim Playstyle

    Sounds dismal. I'll stick with playing the game until it's no fun anymore and then doing something else...

    Skyrim without fast travel, AT ALL, EVER!

    I can see the appeal of no fast travel, but don't have the time/patience just yet to go for it. Good luck to you. Your blog is fun to read. In the original Fallout game and I think the Baldur's Gate series, fast travel was an option, but sometimes you'd encounter something bad on the way (5...

    Life Lessons/Things I Learned From Skyrim

    Worst part of the game

    You don't have to. I didn't even considering attacking him -- he was a better friend to me than the Greybeards and the Blades combined. I'd say the worst part is having to get involved in the civil war. Neither side appeals to me. Of course, you don't have to do that part either, though I am...

    Game too easy? Try a character with no smithing or enchanting!

    First post. First character ... almost to 45. Sword and shield to start, switched to bow/sneak, now trying to work magic into it. Lately I've been liking dual-wielding conjured swords and raising corpses of corpse raisers while giving my follower only a corpse-raising staff. Brought smithing...
