In elderscrolls games, I think arrows should be way more powerful but more costly and rare. I always thought it looked ridiculous when you have to shoot a bandit with 7 arrows before they go down, laying there with their arrow ridden corpse. Although now I pretty much one shot everything with this character with arrows.

One shot, one kill, it's all I do. 7 arrows? Maybe for a dragon... It's good to see that you can only beat up on lowly little guards with iron swords. You wouldn't even see me when my arrow paralyzes you. While you're laying on the ground unable to move drop a bucket on your head and pick pocket your clothes.

Yeah I have shit arrow skill, I dont stand at a distance and throw things at people like a fairy.



Im immune to that stuff. If you repeatedly poison yourself, your character builds up an immunity. And those arent guards those are your "mighty" storm cloak soldiers.



I'll give them credit though, they dont run away like a bunch of school girls, when they see me leap into battle with 10 of their bretheren and commence to play jump rope with their intestines.

on another note has anyone actually done a playthrough (morrowind, oblivion or skyrim) on a non-human character? I have never played a non human character in all of these games. Particularly I can guarantee Id never play an argonian or Khajit.

It's not a poison it's an archery skill I don't believe it falls under the same parameter as the paralyses potions or spells it's an automatic chance and it happens a lot. It's actually really funny because the chance to paralyze kicks in before the arrow hits. So if it's a really long shot you'll see the green graphic for paralyze and the guy will fall down before my arrow even gets to him! haha So essentially sometimes if I'm not paying attention I"ll shoot at someone and they will fall paralyzed but I won't touch them and in 10 seconds they will get up and start fighting me. kind of dumb but it is what it is. Usually I shoot them again just to be safe but a lot of times the first arrow will ruin my cover and they'll fall and I'll try to reestablish being hidden again before I finish them off so I get the 3x bonus.



Those are still just piddly stormcloak guards, what are they called, unbloodied? meaning havne't seen battle, But you are right, they still don't run, because they believe in what they fight for haha.

I'm a wood elf in Skyrim and I believe I was some sort of elf in Oblivion as well? Maybe a Nord. I can't remember it's been so long. **** no I am not going to play no Argonian snake of Khajit Pussy.... see what I did there?

I wouldn't know, I've never been poisoned. I'm Wood elf so i have natural resistance to it, I think 50% poison and disease. The closest I can was I got some Break Bone Disease from letting a bear attack me for a few minutes to build up my light armor resistance haha. I don't' carry cure disease or poison potions as I"m level 53 now and have never needed it once.

yeah at that level you could wear a leia slave outfit and fight with wooden spoons and you would still dominate.





Thats why I started a new character the other day. I was level 55. I was the leader of the Theives guild, Destroyed the dark brotherhood, Leader of the companions, Practically won a war bymyself, slaughtered all sorts of creatures, Defeated a horde of dragons and defeated some unkillable demon dragon that has existed since the beginning of time, that was going to unmake the world......



Then some schmuck wants me to go get his fucking helmet he lost in a cavern.



This time im going to do all the trivial shit first....when it could actually be difficult.

Ebony war axe may ass, in the 4th shot I have an arrow in my stomache and one in my kidney, and im still wrecking faces, an ebony war axe would bounce off all the manliness on my head.



After beating you up with the ebony war axe, bam Dragonbone shield to the face. Then when you are staggering back I charge in with the finishing move on the war axe and chop your head clean off, loot your body, then beat the crap out of the **** sucking imperials

Too bad there's not a way in Skyrim where we could fight each other mano ymono or in one big cage match. My level 44 woodelf would keel all y'all.

It's funny, I've gotten pretty much through the end of the companions, thieves, and dark brotherhood but have finished any of them off, only thing left is basically take the lead.



Oh and by the way... destroy the dark brotherhood? HAHHAHAHAH Shall not be done, I'm about the kill the emperor *****! Nothing your little mod muscle can do about it.



I get what you're saying though, at these levels it takes so long to level up and you feel invincible, but I like that it scales with you some, and I definitely have so many things I haven't done, I do hate that all of a sudden you get stopped and it's like bam out of no where go find my horn in a cave, haha. I get obsessive about the arrows on the map. I usually have them all on so I can just keep doing missions that are close to each other to get them out of the way, I probably have like 30 missions in progress so it lights up the map. Can't ever find the specific one I want and to lazy to turn them off so I wander around the map.



Other thing I hate about this level is that all my fucking save files are 10 meg!! 10 MEG. The load times have always pissed me off, but they only get worse. It's the absolute worst thing about the game. You get a mission from Delvin in the thieves guild. Something simple right? ok, so you have to go out of the flaggon... waaaaait... then you ahve to go out the cistern... waiiiiiiiittttt... then you ahve to fast travel to the right town... waaaaaaaaaaiitt, then you have to go into the building to steal something.... waaaaaaaaiiiii then you have to go out of the building and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiit then you have to fast tralve waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttt then you have to go in the cistern waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiitiitt then you have to go in the flagoon. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT it make the game not replayable. You wait for the fucking thing to load everything for over 5 minutes on a 30 second mission. Why the **** can't I just fast travel from one place I've been to the another place I've been stop fucking making me go outside and all this bullshit. I get some loading and waiting but it's out of control right out of the gate from your very first mission.

Yeah it does look good and it will actually give me something I can play with the wife and not want to punch her in the face.



I played the browser game, but if it's the one I'm thinking your thinking of, it wasn't really a game, just a point and click thing that you could't really do anything in?

Yeah, it really felt like a "game" to tide us over until "The Eternity Clock" comes out.

I read an article where the BBC wanted the game to come out for free because of the licensing fee or something like that and the company that did it doesn't want to so that's the hang up, they did just announce that they are going to make a limited run (I believe in UK) of actual games in case instead of the previous PSN only release. And and apparently it will come to mac/pc later sometime. I like that it looks like it's a very puzzle oriented game. Kind of reminds me of ratchet and clank the time one if anyone has ever played that. Where you have to stand on buttons and time stuff out to happen then reset and do it in time with what you have already done. SHould be interesting, and if you have 2 player then it's even better because you have to rely on each other to do their part.
