    Weirdest experience.

    Haven't experienced too many if any glitches, but I did have a WTF moment in the sense that I couldn't believe what I was feeling. Scrounging around up north by the ice flows and ran across a couple of Horkers. Took one out with a sneak shot of the bow but didn't kill the second one right off...

    Does my NPC Steel Exp?

    Sure, they take some of the XP away per fight, because every time they damage an enemy that's one less time you've used a skill. That said, however, there are more than enough dungeons, tombs, caves, shrines and other assorted locations with critters for you to swipe at, that I don't think it...

    How long before the Main Quests?

    I did a few parts of the Main Quest first just to get the Dragons appearing and to get the first couple of shouts, then I did the DB and then went back to the main quest to get some more shouts, then finished the DB, and now I'm doing some random wandering just to clear some stuff out, and I'll...

    making a Assassin

    Sweet! Thanks - may have to venture there shortly as there are some skills I'd like to give a boost to like Alchemy. So tired of wandering around with bushels of mountain flowers sticking out o me pockets.

    making a Assassin

    Bah, I haven't found the Lovers stone yet and I'm Level 27. I did, however choose the Warriors Stone right off the bat because my Stealth abilities would naturally grow at a quicker pace than my one handed and archery. It seems to have balanced out rather well without giving me next to useless...

    PC Question About Magic

    As far as I know, you don't. You need to graduate to more advanced spells for more damage. Instead of flames, use Firebolt or Fireball etc... Granted, I'm a stealth archer with no real Mage experience, but that's what I've learned from the boards.

    How important is health?

    Then don't from here on out. Use that extra 10 magika points to make your Heal Spell last longer, and use heal to round up your health after a fight to conserve on potions and keep going quicker. Or possibly clairvoyance when you're scuttling around deep in the depths of a Dwemer Ruin. One level...

    Be honest is Elder Scrolls: Skyrim better than Lord of the Rings???

    To be honest I couldn't get past Tolkeins writing style to actually finish the books. I'm glad Jackson did his movies and brought the stories to a whole new audience. I'm also glad that TES games exist, as I've been happily playing them since Arena. (yea, GET OFF MAH LAWN!) This line of games...

    What have you done so far?

    I started out by exploring my Dragonborn destiny, but paused a moment when they asked me to go to the College and get some information on a certain scroll. It was about this time that I managed to answer some poor boys prayers and was sucked into some dark work that has culminated in major...

    Asked in a few places, no reply, can someone please help?

    Same thing happened to me with Faendal, the archer you can pick up in Riverwood. I knew I was going to be getting Lydia as a meat shield so I told him to "wait here" inside the Riverwood Trader. Once I had gotten Lydia as a house carl, however, she would not join. That's when I learned that the...

    Be honest is Elder Scrolls: Skyrim better than Lord of the Rings???

    LOTR was inspired by the trench warfare of WWI and Tolkien was a linguist who developed entire languages for his world. On top of that, they were written as childrens' stories. It's two very different mediums written at two very different times, it's an impossible comparison. One could almost...

    (Realistic) roleplaying builds!

    That's kind of a hard thing to ask another to do for you, as people develop their characters differently. What I found, though, was reading the Oblivion History guide helped as it details the history of each region of Nirn from the beginning of the first age. It allowed me to develop an Argonian...

    Role Players... post here.

    I'm an old school PnP Role Player but consider myself a Role Player-Lite now. I tend to develope mental back stories for all of my characters but they've all got the flexibility to some things out of character. My Wood Elf stealth archer, for example is fairly proficient with Smithing despite...

    Multiple Characters

    I feel your pain OP - I've restarted countless times, though usually I end up right back at the stealthy archer wot can steal stuff. I don't consider him a "Jack of All Trades" though because even though he has built up his Magica quite a bit, there are no perks in it and he only summons a flame...

    Multiple Characters

    Huh? I'm playing on the 360 and have had up to four characters saved at the same time without issue. They are not labeled so you have to make sure you're loading and saving over the correct one, but I've always had multiple manual saves and multiple auto saves and never had a problem switching...

    PC Slow sneaking

    Perks higher up the stealth tree will allow you to run while being silent. There's also the spell "muffle" which I think can help. Haven't used it yet as all of my stealth kills to date have been at range.

    Weapon of choice

    My current character is your typical steal archer. I'm still at low levels and only work on Smithing after getting back into town from an adventure so it's pretty even with my stats. Currently using an upgraded Imperial Bow, (waiting to come across some ore to upgrade the Orcish Bow I recently...

    Thougths So Far *Spolier Alert* (Minimal)

    I've not even scratched the surface of the game yet, though my highest level character is only at 19 so I can't really comment on the "burning through the game" aspect of your post. I can, however, say that you can have as many characters as you'd like going at one time - you are not limited to...
