Skyrim, or, How I Ruined My LifeFollow

5 options, you start at 3. I'm pretty sure it asks what difficulty you want when you first start...

In any case, it's in the gameplay section of the options menu.

I just need Impact. :P

Also, is anyone else a little disappointed with Conjuration? All my summons cost a crapton of magicka and tend to die way too fast. They might have been useful if I didn't want them to tank, I suppose.

I've been abusing the crap out of Conjuration and loving it. The skill is at about 55 at the moment for me.

Flame Atronach is an excellent addition to your fire spells, she stands back generally and lobs fireballs at the bad guys, and looks badass while doing it. If they're close up she'll melee them. Both her attacks will set the enemy on fire, giving your fire spells bonus damage. In addition, if she dies, then her corpse will explode.

Also, I love raising the dead with the necromancy spells, which fall under Conjuration. This time around, you have to cast them on bodies instead of pulling a skeleton or zombie out of your ***. It's just a lot of fun for me to kill a bandit and raise him to help me clean up the others. If you need to, get the half magicka cost perk and it really helps out.

I'm sure a Frost Atronach would be an awesome tank, but I haven't been able to track down a spell for it or a Storm Atronach. Or Transmute. I feel like there's a lot of spells I'm missing.

Little tip, though. Do not summon stuff against a Dragon Priest. They will turn it against you like an *******.

His voice annoyed me, so I didn't talk to him any more than I had to. I'll have to check his wares out again.

Nope. Nothing of use I didn't already have.



That's the beauty of zombies. They're going to die again soon anyways, so feel free to blow them up!

One of my friends have already started with the ragging.

First day, his message:
********** Skyrim"

Second day:
********** Sky ***"

Tomorrow he'll probably say:
********** Sky Rimjob"

Any time he comes online and I'm playing Skyrim. And I stay online so I can tell when they come on to play some MW3 with them.

Call it "Modern Whorefare", or something equally witty.

What's the difference between generic dragons and the named ones?

Named dragons are associated with a quest or have information concerning them in the game. Generic ones are cannon fodder dragons. That is based on my knowledge of video game structure and has zero knowledge of the game.

Edit: Dang it Locke!

I use the Flame Astronach to tank dragons for me so I can walk up behind them and get all stabby. I'd like to be able to use the others, but so far I haven't found the spells. Speaking of dragons, Dual Casting Thunder bolt rapes them. It's decent damage, and with Impact it stuns them fairly consistently. Not to mention that unlike Ice and Fire spells, it doesn't suffer from a travel time, so you don't have to lead them in the air.

Now that I've capped Smithing, I need to go find some dragons to farm scales for my armor. Before I realized how useful Smithing was, I sold the silly things off to save weight and buy a house. I'm regretting that now.

Generic Shooter #482.

I'd say to comment on the fact that its campaign only takes about 4.5 hours, but somehow I think that would be missing the point of the game.

I just finished the thieves guild quests...

Am I the only one who thought Nocturnal was hot with her boobies hanging out like that?
