    Which Skyrim Playable Race is Your Favorite?

    I've always been a -Mer kinda guy. Throughout Morrowind I had always played a Dunmer. In Oblivion, again, I played a Dunmer. However, in Skyrim, my favorite race is the Bosmer, by far. Their typical backstory along with their racial/skill bonuses won me over as I almost always play the Thief or...

    Your Plans for Skyrim

    Seeing as how I'm a competitive Call of Duty player, it'll be back to the FPS' tournaments for me. But, as for Skyrim, I don't have any of the DLCs either so I'm far from done with Skyrim anyway. More than likely, I'll give TESO a shot. The thought of taking my all-time favorite RPG series...

    Mage, Warrior or Thief

    Whiterun has grown stale to me over time, as such I find myself very partial to relocating to Markarth where I've always admired the beautiful architecture as well as the opportunities to be had there. However I've no interest in utilizing your laboratory or enchantment table as being a Wood...

    Mage, Warrior or Thief

    The hag had received what was coming to her and was summarily cast into the void to serve Sithis. I do applaud some bloodshed on occasion. However, since my short time in Skyrim, through my rapid ascent to massive wealth and some local reknown, I've developed a powerful network of contacts. I...

    Mage, Warrior or Thief

    Not that I'm saying thievery is morally correct, but how can you justify assassinating oftentimes innocent people for your sick and twisted pleasure yet put down a simple way for my femme fatale Wood Elf to put her innate abilities to use and maintain a wealthy standard of living for herself...

    Mage, Warrior or Thief

    Seeing as how my main character is a variation of an "Assassin" build, I'm biased. That being said, it was my first character and in my honest opinion, the most satisfying to play with. The ability to sneak through an entire dungeon, bypassing all traps (Light Foot) and taking out enemies with...

    Xbox 360 darn loading screens :(

    That's happened to me many times as well, unfortunately. I also play on the 360 and there have been several instances where the load screen never finishes loading. The only solution I've come up with is to simply restart my console and pray to Talos that it didn't happen again. -___- Note: It...

    250 Tips/Tricks/Secrets in Skyrim

    22. If you're having problems finding Word Walls, go to High Hrothgar, and find Arngeir. The first talk selection will be "Have you found a new word of power?". He will place a new quest in the "Misc." category for it. He will only give you one at a time, but he will keep giving them to you...

    What am I supposed to do with all these Dragon Bones & Dragon Scales?

    As was stated before, they're great for Dragonscale smithing once the prerequisite perks have been selected. Alternatively, once you obtain the DLC content you can use them to create Dragonbone armor/weaponry. The Dragonbone weaponry are the strongest in the game, surpassing Daedric respectively.

    250 Tips/Tricks/Secrets in Skyrim

    21. Pickpocket someone who shoots target dummies with arrows, and take the arrows they were using (usually iron or steel). Then, give them one of the arrow type you want more of. They will now shoot that type of arrow instead of the one they were shooting before. Simply collect the arrows as...

    Altmer and Bosmer: Do you support the Thalmor? Why or why not?

    1. Yes I would, if only to increase my chances of promotion/personal gain/influence within the Aldmeri Dominion. 2. Being an Altmer whose sole motivation was the acquirement of more power/wealth, probably not. 3. Yes I am, the High Elves are superior to the other races in terms of intelligence...

    Worst Bug?

    What you can do is take a bedlam job from Delvin Mallory AND a sweep job from Vex, once you find out the city they're to take place in, either quit one or both until the city matches up for both jobs. It'll count as 2/5 jobs completed per city. You basically kill two birds with one stone and...

    First Serious Playthrough Advice?

    Also, once you make some progress through the Thieves Guild questline you will be granted the "Skeleton Key" temporarily. The Skeleton Key is an unbreakable lockpick that also ranks up your lockpicking skill as you go. However, if you decide to keep it you will not be able to finish the TG...

    Look for stealth mage

    The Battlemage/Assassin build is essentially what's known as a Nightblade with some extra skill in offensive magic schools. I recommend wearing dark-colored enchanted robes with a Daedric helmet/gauntlets/boots. It would give you a dark, evil look while still maintaining some mobility.

    That awkward moment where you've been hiking forever towards your own map marker only to discover once you get there that you had forgotten to switch it from your last objective to your present one, thus causing you to run across the world in the complete opposite direction of where you need to...
