That's the same thing I did. I got to where the big fat guys attack you over a grinder wheel... it got frustrating cause you keep dying jumping into the wheel accidentally. haha They force you to try to do it a certain way so you learn the different moves and such, kind of a training on the fly which can be nice as usually you don't use half the stuff they give you.

The skeleton king dudes (I forget their name) have a spell that causes you to drop it.
Ahh, guess I never get close enough for that, or kill them too fast as an archer.

Yeah, that took me a couple tries... I just kept using the heavy attack, grabbing and throwing them where possible.

Yeah Archers wont care, the sword and board guys do. Fucking sucks, all of a sudden you are punching him. Whats worse (and what happened to me) is I dropped my axes, I pulled out my dragon killer sword and killed him, but couldnt find my axes...so pissed.

Things do seem to have a keen ability to somehow disappear in the floor and walls sometimes. I'm always losing arrows that way.

Did you ever put a pot over a store keepers head? You can rob thee place blind right in front of them.

Nope, just don't drop it from too high up. Then again, that might be funny too if you are up on a roof or balcony.

I just started dicking around in skyrim again I still have a shit load of stuff to complete, and Ive been installing a shit ton of mods.



Tales of Lycanthropy is cool as shit. werewolves were balanced to be usefull at high levels. some new werewolf powers (when in human form). and whats more awesome, you can bite your companions and turn them into werewolves. and any time you change and they are in your party they will change too. Also got a follower mod that lets you do more stuff with them, and increases the number of party members you can have. You can also turn any NPC into a werewolf by attacking them in wolf form and leaving them alive.



and the final thing that actually makes it more interesting, on the full moon you are forced to change(for the entire night until dawn). (it includes new transformation sounds and animation, so your dude is like writhing on the ground in pain). Nothing like going to return a quest to Good ol general tullius, and you hear your heart beating, and its like whoops, what time is it and is the moon full? **** me, general tullius I would skedattle if I were you, shits about to get real.



and to add the "sense of lack of control as a werewolf" you essentially have to kill and eat something as a werewolf or you will die. (purebred werewolves can get away with eating animals, Feral werewolves have to eat people) you are a purebred if you become one through companions quest line, feral if you get attacked by a werewolf and survive (werewolf encounters work like dragon encounters in this mod) and when you are a werewolf, there are werewolf hunter encounters.



I just installed a shit ton of mods though the past couple days and made a couple custom companions myself.

Ummm... you have to go to the city to get through the main quest? Unless your main quest isn't the same as my main quest? I know you had to go to windhelm and then do battled in at least two of the other cities? I'm not sure what you mean?

Dawnstar, I never went to dawnstar. You dont have to go to every major city to kill Alduin.



From my recollection I think the only city you "need" to go to for the main quest is whiterun solitude and windhelm (if you dont resolve the civil war before killing alduin, you have to go talk to tullius and that jackass in windhelm and gather a peace conference, and get them to agree to sign a cease fire till the dragon issue is resolved.

Oh and theres a cool dragon mod that adds new types of dragons (that are a hell of alot tougher). until I installed this mod I could just swat dragons like gnats. Now I was all, I have to actually heal to beat these mother *******! (frankly Alduin was a joke too, that fight was over before it started)

Umm... you have it back works, you have to talk to that Jackass Tullius and that awesome true high kind in windhelm. Stormcloacks forever bitches. Yeah, if you go to windhelm he has you basically lead the war for him and you clear out Whiterun, Faulkenth and maybe others I"m still working on that.
