This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Cranewings;500592It makes me sad I can't have a companion. They just die so fast and all my attacks do splash damage so they stay dead.

I actually killed a giant when I was only level 9. I found a bow of stamina damage early on, so I could shoot it full of arrows, then walk backwards for 5 minutes crapping on it with my flame spell.

If you are on PC, mark them as Essential, and they won't die.

-------------
Get the first name of your companion. For this example, I'm gonna use my companion Aranea Ienith. Simply type the following into the console:

help Aranea 4

Replace Aranea with the name of your companion, like Lydia for instance (help Lydia 4). Once you've typed that, there should be a bunch of stuff that pops up, or a little, depending on the NPC name. The relevant bit is where it says "NPC_: (00028AD0) 'Aranea Ienith'. Once you have this code , simply type

setessential 00028AD0 1

^Do not forget the '1' at the end, and do not forget to use the code for your specific companion instead of 00028AD0.

Quote from: Cranewings;500505I feel like the hardest chore is filling up soul stones.

A while back I found a sword that filled Soul Gems if the target dies within a certain amount of time after the hit. I disenchanted that and Enchanted a Elven Bow with it. With a high Sneak and the Perk that does 3x Damage if done while Sneaking means that filling Soul Gems is easy with one Hit(my Sneak and Archery are now over 60). I found that even the UnDead have Souls and they are pretty easy to kill with one shot...

That's a pretty good trick.

I guess the fortunate thing is that I don't really need magic items. I'm just trying to up my enchantment so I can make some nice dragon plate. I've gotten it up to 60, and blacksmith to 97 now.

Anyone play a rogue? I feel like people never go to sleep in Skyrim.

My Son has his character's smithing up to 100%. Spend about 2 days last weekend working on it. He makes Dragon Armor and enchants it. It is interesting to me to see people's different play styles. He's playing an Orc using Heavy Armor and the biggest Melee weapon he can find. I'm basically a Archer(Thief)/Mage. I've broken into a couple of places to loot the place when the owner is asleep. I got into Warmaiden's in Whiterun one night and found them both asleep and picked their pockets.

Also, my son has pretty much forgotten the main quest and keeps doing "Sweeps" for the Riften Thieves Guild, says he's having a lot of fun just doing that.

I'm currently running only one character, a Breton mage who wears light armor and blasts stuff with dual lightning bolts. Having a blast.

Yeah, mine is similar. I have both fire and lightning, plus respectable conjuration and restoration. Just got my dragon scale finished, but I don't have the enchantment skill high enough to give up my archmage robes.

I think I spent over half the game doing stuff for and around the Wizard college.

He's ok at archery. I have a few feats in it, but it is mostly just for when I'm out of mana.

Cranewings

I beat it. Level 45.

I made it to 100 ranks of Destruction, Enchantment, and Blacksmithing. 60 or so ranks in Archery, Conjuration, Light Armor, Alchemy, Lock Picking...

The end of the game, and what lead up to it, was one of the most awesome stories I've ever played through. Great stuff.

Now to hand the game back to the owner and stay far away from it sense classes are starting Monday.

I can't stop playing Skyrim in my free time. I am level 74 now and still only done enough of the main quest to got Fus Roh Dah.

Soon .. Soon I shall finish the storyline. Then wait patiently for DLC and interesting mods and replaying as a pugilist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhBiNx749Zw) just for the laughs.

I was given Skyrim as a gift from the real estate people who sold me my house.  Before I start, is it actually a game that can be finished or is it like WoW?

Theres an ending to the main storyline(well the 2 main storylines since the civil war storyline is like a second story alongside the whole dragons returning storyline) but getting there is something you can take your time doing whilst exploring the world and doing other side quests and hunting dragons or other creatures to skill up and gain levels.

Awesome, i just did not want to start something and not be able to finish it...

It absolutely can be finished but if you are like me I love running around and exploring everything I possibly can and that can take many (for me) fun hours :)
