The Elder Scrolls V

Anyone going to be traversing the wilds of Skyrim over the weekend?

[author3]

No I'm not doing it this weekend but I'll be doing it on Christmas Day

[SpyViolette]

Definitely! Starting tomorrow my social life will cease to exist.

Wants it now but STILL not got round to completing Oblivion.

Might wait for the inevitable GOTY version and I have just enough of a system to run it so an upgrade might be on the cards first.....

[buxton3]

i was playing it this weekend great game

Fantastic game, I'm really enjoying it even though I only started it this afternoon.

Oh yes, this game is incredible!

Unfortunately, I decided it best to ban myself from it. But only until I have the time to invest into the land where time stands still - that is, until you look at a clock and weep. This was after finding myself awake until 5am, after spending an hour trying to climb a cliff that was, of course, completely impossible to climb! My sleepy brain is a stubborn one...

What races are you playing? I made a rather dashing dark elf in memory of my character from Oblivion.

I'm relatively new to the Elder Scrolls although I did try Oblivion (got bored and hated the levelling up system). As a result I'm playing a Redguard (uncomplicated and straight forward) concentrating on dual-wielding one-handed bladed weapons and stealth. He's becoming a bit ninja-ish, to tell the truth and already has a katana that causes fear in opponents under level 12. I've let this drain as I can't keep up with the buggers when they run away!

The one drawback I have about the game, however, is that I hate playing wizards and try to do without all the alchemy/enchanting malarkey, or indeed bothering with spells. I suspect that this will come back to haunt me later in the game.

[SpyViolette]

I don't have many powerful spells right now and I'm not so keen on alchemy either, but I do have a huge ax.

I find the controls are a bit harder to use than Oblivion's were, but I love the new inventory system and the story is infinitely better. So far I think Skyrim is a beautiful, amazing game.

I won't be playing the game until Christmas, but this video>> http://youtu.be/bnNcyY6zQYw has me looking forward to it with ridiculous levels of anticipation. Mostly because I'm an immature idiot.

Turns out I completed Oblivion in March (main story and expansions as well as over 200 side quests) so no excuses now

Apart from the other games I haven't started yet.....

I got it yesterday and at the moment I can't find the way out of Whiterun PLEASE help

[Bickaxe]

Either use the map to fast travel (must have visited location before) or orientate yourself towards the stables/main gate by the blacksmiths. There is quite a bit to do in that town and i would recommend being at least level 8 before you venture out i to the wilds.
Avoid bears and giants, don't attack mammoths and sneak attack if you get the chance
