Game is so addicting. I'm level 13 and have only put points in archery and light armor. Might eventually put some points in sneak for the 3x bow damage. I've foraged a ton and learned a lot of potion properties. Should start smithing more since I'm maxing out light armor I guess.

Just joined the imperial army last night and did a couple of those missions. I can tell ill want another play through so I can try the rebel storyline.

fucking heavy ass dragon drops

anyone reccomend me picking oblivion prior to this?

I still have to finish a couple games and delete saves before buying next big game, but curious if I should start there since Im in no hurry and it sounds like that may be the best one

there's no point in playing previous elder scrolls unless you really want to. Its kind of like final fantasy, each one is different.... (for the most part) you don't need to play the previous versions to know what's going on

sounds like fallout sometimes, i hope there arent bullshit confusing mazes to get everywhere

I have yet to come across anything like that underground tunnel system in fallout.

I guess everyone should like the same drinks, and drive the same car, live in the same style house....sounds legit.....enchanted weapons tho

thats how i usually feel but there is something about this new 2handed feel that is badass

i see your point though, that will get boring after a while but spells will become more fun and more advanced over time

If you are planning on being a thief then gtf to Riften and find the thieves guild.
Thieves guild armor >>>> any other light armor you can get this early on.

I like playing a thief/swashbuckler type in fantasy settings. I grew up playing D&D and almost always played a rogue. Mages don't get to backstab, sneak/hide, pickpocket, pick locks, etc... Fantasy rpg settings are much more than just wizards and dragons.

finally someone that understands OCD:

OCD is thinking you have to twist every knob on the stove eight times because you cracked your knuckles out of order, otherwise your heart will explode.

hate all the people that say: I spent an hour organizing my room, I'm sooo OCD!

/rant

good read btw, most of this is sad but true... it happens all the time that I spend 2 hours to organize my shit instead of do quests

finally caved and got it, possibly gg saturday

Got it too, but haven't had time to log a long session. Level 7, I believe
