    Skyrim Embarrassments

    Every time I use the Whirldwind Sprint shout (and/or the Vampire Lord version) inside of a cave/tomb/ruin/fort etc, my character finds something to get completely and utterly stuck behind and I have to reload.

    Whats your opinion of Fast Travel?

    I've started to use Fast Travel whenever possible again unless I'm exploring (or heading to a place in) the nearby area. Maybe it's my game being weird or whatever, but it's REALLY annoying having to deal with a pack of wolves seemingly every five steps or so. Trying to find caves/tombs/forts to...

    Your WTF/LOL Moments?

    One of the things I greatly dislike about Skyrim is how...insistent it is that you do certain quests. Such as Brynjolf stalking you in Riften, waiting for a chance to force you into dialogue so that he can throw a quest in your face (or journal). Another notable example of that is Barbas. This...

    At Least Give Me Something I Can Use! (Or That At Least Makes Sense)

    While I greatly enjoy Skyrim, there are many things about it that I very much dislike. This thread is about one of those things. I've done hundreds of quests in Skyrim, over the course of dozens of characters. Out of all of those finished quests, out of the ones that reward you with an item...

    How many times have you started over with a new characters and played through?

    I've finished the main quest twice, that's two characters out of...literally dozens. Usually I create a new character with what I think will be an awesome build, get to about level ten and realize I'm not really having fun, and I just delete that character and start again. In fact I just started...

    Argonian Question.

    Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the reason Argonians aren't allowed in Windhelm is due to the tension between the Dunmer and the Argonians, not because of the tension between the Nords and the Argonians. Suvaris Atheron can even be heard insulting the Argonians by saying...

    Redguard Thread

    The character I spent the most time using was a Redguard named Verrell. He used light armor and two handed weapons, and restoration magic. I think by the time I retired that character he was level 37 or so and the game had gotten way too easy, so having saved the world several times (completed...

    Unexpected Depth

    Hello fellow Dragonborns, I've just had the world of Skyrim react to my actions that weren't related to a quest (I think). I was walking to Riften, and had just passed through Shor's Stone. Just outside of Shor's Stone is a fort, Fort Greenwall. Usually Fort Greenwall is occupied by bandits...

    The Ratway Inhabitants (very minor spoilers)

    The first two people you meet in The Ratway (Hewnon and Drahff) are supposed to be aggressive, they're not prospective members of the Thieves Guild, in fact their dialogue suggests that Hewnon Black-Skeever and Drahff are planning on doing something to the Thieves Guild. According to the wiki...

    Spoiler Horrified!

    Not to be "that guy", but pretty much every single person/group you meet in Skyrim is a "judgmental zealot" (or is really bad in other ways) in one form or another. While the Vigilants of Stendarr can definitely be rude, they're definitely not like the Thalmor. The Vigilants of Stendarr spend...

    Spoiler Horrified!

    Well it wasn't a quest, but I had helped/been helped by a couple of Vigilants of Stendarr near Whiterun, I helped them fight a few vampires and they helped me fight a few bandits. Afterwards they even acted friendly toward me whenever we met again. Well, on a trip walking back to Whiterun from...

    Leveling destruction early on

    Depending on how "exploit-ish" you want to get...one tactic that doesn't seem overly "exploit-ish" is to have the giants from the giant camp near Whiterun chase you to the western watchtower. You can run inside and be safe and the giant(s) will keep trying (to no avail) to follow you in. You can...

    After hundreds of hours I finally encountered...

    My first experience was similar to that. My Redguard Verrell who was around level 25ish went to Solstheim with his wife Uthgerd The Unbroken. Instead of talking to any of the townsfolk, they immediately went exploring in search of whoever had sent cultist after him. One of the first things he...

    Oblivion and Skyrim

    Things I liked in Oblivion that I wished was in Skyrim? This will be a long list but I'm going to go ahead and state that I do think Skyrim is the far better game overall. I probably spent around at the most, a hundred hours in Oblivion before I got completely bored and bought Skyrim, I didn't...

    Damn you Maurice!!!

    I redid this quest last night and whatever good thoughts I may have had about Maurice have dissipated entirely. No, not because of him idiotically charging the local wildlife, but because of his inability/unwillingness to cross a stream. I fast traveled with him to Cradlecrush Rock (to avoid...

    What do you spend your gold on?

    Historically most of my gold goes towards spell tomes and the houses you can build.

    Whats your opinion of Fast Travel?

    I used to use fast travel whenever possible, however lately I've only used it whenever the destination I need to go to is in the hold I'm currently in (IE: going from Silent Moons camp to Whiterun), as well as using the carriage whenever I need to go across the map. However with that being...

    Fun stuff in Solstheim

    I love just exploring Solstheim, to me it's a lot more interesting visually than much of Skyrim is. There are plenty of quests to do, and lots of places to visit, and Werebears. Werebears!!!

    Which race should I use for my Warrior build?

    Well the races in Skyrim are all basically equal in terms of starting skills, so you can decide based on looks/racial ability. With that in mind, I know a lot of people who want to play as warriors choose Orcs because of their racial ability where you take half damage and do double damage for...
