I keep running out of dogs. There need to be more dogs.

well yeah but using iron ore to make gold rings actually makes you a fair bit of money since its like 12 gold of iron ore to get about 70 gold worth of gold rings.

Aside from buying the house and my crippling potion addiction, I don't see much need for money. I am still super early and so maybe that will change but for now I sell the potion lady magicka potions I find and buy healing ones.

Rebooted my Oblivion game. Temptation to murder and steal too great. So long, honorable orc. Hello, skeezy lizardman, aka Robby McMurderson.

easiest way to lv. smithing is stock up on iron and leather and make a shitload of iron daggers.

That is what a friend of mine did. He showed me a picture of his character. Also, his character is on level 40 of badassery. Seriously he killed a dragon with one punch, but he is super weak against magic :S

Yeah, it's mostly that that they'll run in and fight anything. Most die fighting dragons or like three bears.

You should do the Dark Brotherhood for your own immortal devil horse.

The only way I know of to call a horse is to fast travel. Your horse will always appear near you.

haha it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one to have fallen off the side of a mountain

I nearly killed Farkas(or whatever his name is) a lot that same way. I think because he was quest related I couldn't kill him but that dude took a beating from me. Man I over head power attack a lot, stop running in front of me.

Which reminds me, Companions for life! Randomly help them kill a bear, get told about a group of warriors who fight for the sake of fighting? Sold. Do quest for "honor" find out something even more awesome? Super sold. That whole crew was tailor made for me.

Can't fast travel if you're encumbered.

That's the other aspect of the Companions, Aela. I keep leaving bandit boots in her room. Don't know if marriage would feel right.

I am like a walking garage sale. I carry all the junk I can to upgrade, enchant, and then sell it for a profit. I don't usually get over encumbered. Only if I "lose" my friend. I do agree just dropping it would probably save me a lot of aggravation, but then the money calls to me. LoL @ Aela. She is an angry broad, but I like her. Marriage is weird because they go from being rough and tumble to Yes, dear. Hello love. Super-weird.

The marriage thing has it's perks. They "open a shop" so you can sell them your crap but they also give you half of the earnings from it, so you get more money. They also make "home-cooked meals" once a day that gives a boost to your stats. Like health and stam. I have like three of them in my inventory but I keep forgetting to eat them. They also can come be your fighting companion all the time, or they can just stay home. I kinda really like that. I think they benefits far outweigh the weirdness. Yes, I meant she's angry and that's why I like her. It's nice to have bad-ass females in games that don't ninny out at some point. I'm also a fan of Uthgerd the Unbroken. I loved getting into a fist fight and then becoming "friends" when I beat her. She is hysterically gruff.

Speaking on behalf of the Dark Brotherhood, I think it's because the Night Mother says you killed our dad.

I've killed no one unless they attacked me first. Though I don't take well to bullying so if they give me shit to, I would push them into fighting. That might be it, oh well. It's a steady supply of daggers to sell and I don't mind, except when it breaks my game. I hate it when 2 questy things start at the same time, the game freaks out and locks up on me. I'll be talking to some dude who hands me a random item, and an assassin will start attacking me and then I'm stuck, weaponless staring at a conversation screen with no one.

I got married, the ceremony was beautiful with the 2 of us standing there in full dragon parts. What can I say? Great minds think alike? Though, I gave her a daedric bow that I made legendary and she won't use it. If I give her any other bow better than her default hunting bow she has no problem but if I give her the awesome bow, and even remove the hunting bow from her inventory, she will use the default bow. Daedra hearts aren't easy to come by it seems so I use the bow, along side my greatsword but I'd rather her use it so that it doesn't feel like it's wasted. Haven't tried an ebony bow, but I'm not going to bother.

It is kind of awesome that I can wander around with an archer at my back who will feed me a random kill quest whenever I want. I like getting cornered and watching 2 of the guys go flying off camera with arrows lodged in their sides.

I've found myself playing almost entirely in 3rd person now, unless I'm scanning book cases for loot. It's so much easier to land a hit with the overhead smash that propels you forward when you can track exactly where the enemy is. Too many times I got pulled forward and past someone, only to get hit in the back. It looks weird but at least it works.

This is what you get for joining the racist stormcloaks. I know everyone is a dick, but I found the stormcloaks to get on my nerves way more than the imperials. I think everyone just goes stormcloak because they're not the ones originally trying to cut your head off and because Star Wars logic. When they're more some kind of hillbilly Nord confederate army than rebel alliance.

And there the fact that:

so that I can track wherever she is.

Definitely not fucked up, what you're doing here.

You act like me, of all people, didn't word that exactly the way I did without thinking first. I put GPS on my sidekick/wife/hunting partner. And?

I saw a reference to that video somewhere else and have yet to watch it. The description was enough.

This is totally unrelated I swear! How do I move objects without just putting them in my inventory? My house kind of looks like crap because I keep bumping into everything and sending all the crap on top flying. It be cool if I could just hang my trophy weapons everywhere. Not like I'm ever going to use the Axe of Whiterun or Wuuthrad ever.

I think you can move stuff by holding down "e".

I spend a lot of time dragging potions across desks on accident.

Not that I didn't like playing Batman, but this thread makes me wish I'd put those 15 hours into Skyrim.
