Skyrim, or, How I Ruined My LifeFollow

I just recently got the one involved with Spoilergetting the Golden Claw for the merchant at the first town I was taken to and to get to it I had to walk past a stone table, with a locked (I think it was locked) chest next to it. Now, keep in mind I sneak pretty much everywhere. I get the word, turn around, and the table I had JUST FINISHED SNEAKING BY WITH NO PROBLEMS turns out to be a coffin and a damn zombie lunges at me. Edit: *And I don't mean just once. I walked around that thing like a dozen times looking for loot.* @#%^er I just looted your room and you napped through the whole thing, I just got a major spell/ability and you didn't even snore, but as I leave and take a step in some water and you're suddenly wanting to shove your two handed rusty giant sword up my orcish ***?!

@#%^ you.

And that is why every single corpse in the wall that looks like a Draugr eats an arrow in the face if I can't loot him (yet). :D

I'm gonna remake my character. I've only got a few hours into it (playing during the week is hard).

I found out that even if I steal **** when people can't see me, they will still try to get revenge. I think the old lady in the Inn in Riverwood found out I robbed her room while she was asleep. Hired thugs showed up at Winterhold and raped me rightly about 4 times in a row before I finally was able to defeat them. My level 3 Dark Elf Thief/Caster combo wasn't working out too well.

If undetected thievery makes people send these strong thugs and assassins after me... that kind of makes thievery not a good idea at low levels.

Awesome. :D

The dragon scale armor doesn't look QUITE as cool. Pretty spiky though.

Go visit the Graybeards and fetch the horn. You'll get the other two parts of the shout. It's actually a fairly easy quest, the hardest part of it is climbing up to High Hrothgar. There are some fairly nasty critters on the steps.

Seems like a bug, but a good find. Are you sure they're the same arrows/damage, and not like 1 damage arrows? I think the companions use default arrows if they have no weapon equipped; could be the same kind of thing.

Anyone else notice that when you get shot by an arrow, sometimes it ends up in your inventory? I kept wondering where I was picking up these random iron and steel arrows from...

If Lydia tells you she has a bad feeling about something, you may want to listen to her. Yesterday was the first time I had heard her say that and I sure got 1 shot by the guy we were creeping up on.

Oh.. And she's a freaking idiot! I told her to stay there while I tried to get a zombie to run into a trap that makes a spike door slam on them. I get it's attention and everything is going great until she decides to come running up and spring the trap. Killing me!

I got one of the dogs yesterday. Like 10 mins after getting it, I was already telling it to go home. Way to annoying and idiotic to be worth the trouble.

[img=http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198052263097/screenshots/] I have no clue how to post images on this website but here's one of me in full daedric armor.

This game is awesome i just wish there was some kinda online play where you could do quests with friends =).

That's also why you'll find your arrows on the things you kill if you've been turning them into pincushions. It's too bad they don't animate plucking an arrow out of yourself and firing it back. :D

Yipes. Okay, that's good to know.

While combat isn't the main draw for me towards Elder Scrolls games, I do think they could have done more with it. At least the weapons have more of a feel than in Oblivion, but I don't see why they couldn't do something more with it. I'd like to see more fluid animations for swinging a weapon multiple times in a row.

I know it's a third person view game, but Dark Souls (and Demon's Souls before it) made a simplistic combat mechanic (light attack, heavy attack with a couple directional attacks) pretty enjoyable.
