I'm probably more like 70 hours - I lost internet for a bit so Steam won't count it.

I did 90 hours of Oblivion, but I was sick that week so did little else.

To be honest, $40 for even 40 hours is perfectly fine with me. But I feel like the game is done now.

Has anyone else had sever issues still with lag/frame rate/crashes since the patch? The patch seemed to fix all those issues for a little bit, but tonight the frame rates and crashes have gotten out of control.

Dragon/Shout Question
Spoiler:
Can someone please explain how to use your dragon souls on your shout words you have found? I have like X number of found words and a bunch of slayed dragon soulds but they don't level up a shout like it did for unrelenting force when I killed the 1st dragon.

Each shout has 3 words to it. When you find a dragon wall you will either learn a new shout like "fire breath" or an additional word for a shout you already have.

When you learn said word, you need to open you menu, then go to your magic. Once there, scroll down to shouts and if you just got a new shout it will be shaded in black indicating that you have no yet spent a dragon soul on it to unlock it. Depending on if you are playing on console or PC the command button to unlock/spend a dragon soul will differ. It should tell you what button to use in the bottom left and how many dragon souls you have in the bottom right.

If you learned an additional word for a shout you already have, then do the same as above but scroll to the shout that you just found the additional word for and unlock it.

the best companions are obv the quest characters... cause they wont die if you accidentally fireball them or whatever.

They took the ability to get addicted to skooma out of the game. I was bumbed about it.

Really? I can't ****ing quit in less than 90 minutes or so. I could easily play 6+ hrs in a day which I definitely couldn't stand to do with any other game.

There is a quest where you get really drunk with someone in the Whiterun bar and have a wild night.
Spoiler:
Was a pretty fun quest trying to figure out what happened.

lol yes and you get the sanguine rose... the cheapest item in the game imo... im gona stay away from using this but the quest is super fun... i really suggest hiding this item in your home when you get it, it makes the game too easy if you use it all the time.

heres whats fun... you go out into the wilderness with all ur items left at home, and try to survive and walk across the world

Well I just finished the main quest line 55 hours in. I wish I hadn't... now I don't feel like playing anymore.

I spent a bunch of time getting my blacksmithing and enchanting to 100 with all the +mods and potions and kinda ez moded the game on myself.

Considering restarting a sneaky char at the next level higher up than adept... but will it still be fun? I suppose I could go to the cities I didn't complete but it just feels to me like the game has ended.

Definitely worth the money and for every 10 stupid quests you have to do you stumble upon 1 really awesome one.

I loved the Sanguine Rose quest but zomg is it over powered. Meridia one was fun as was Thieves Guild ending. That closed off wing in Blue Palace was unexpectedly neat too.

I used it once and then promptly placed it (along with the rest of my daidric artifacts) on the wall in my Solitude mansion. The rose is probably one of the best looking items in the game too.

+1. The crashes to desktop might be a blessing in disguise, because without them forcibly tearing me away from the game, I might never stop playing.

With everything that's in this game, the main quest feels like just another side quest to me. I don't think it would've made much difference if they released the game without it.

On climbing the 7000 steps to High Hrothgar

Spoiler:
It wasn't too bad. Brought Marcurio along because I was expecting a pretty tough assortment of foes but I didn't have much trouble taking down the tougher enemies they sent my way - most notably the ice wraith, ice wolf, and frost troll. I could have pretty easily beaten it without a companion. Although with my previous builds I recall having quite a few issues handling those kinds of enemies. Perhaps I'm just better suited this time around wrt weapons and skills.

Anyways, I probably should've started the main quest earlier because of the shouts they're giving away for free. The whirlwind shout is pretty sweet for getting up close and personal with pussy mages who sit back and spam impossible to dodge lightning attacks and drain my health. Supposedly I get the last word in the Unrelenting Force shout pretty soon as well if I continue helping the Greybeards. From what I've seen on youtube it looks absolutely awesome - definitely going to use it on NPCs at will.


So yeah, doing quite a bit more damage using my current sword and board Orc setup with a split of 50-50 health / stamina, and having tons of fun in the process. Much more enjoyable to me than using weak destructo magic or outsmarting the laughable AI for sneak criticals all the time.

So far my biggest problems come when I run into mages, especially a group of them. They can really quickly drain your health if you're not careful and I'm finding their spells very difficult to avoid. What's the best way to deal with them as a melee character?
