friend just showed me the werewolf perk after companions missions :)

^ I am confused, even after some googling, is christwire.org real? or just really amusing, because going to the main page seems plausibly real.

I'm 95% sure that site is basically like The Onion, but aimed at Westboro Baptist types.

That will change......spellcasters tend to get weaker and weaker starting at around lvl 25-30 (compared to melee classes). I personally am going to wait to play a spellcaster until the construction kit comes out and we get decent mods that fix casters.

You actually get werewolf after like 4 or so companion quests, definitely easy to pick up whenever you want and with any character.....I personally think werewolf has better perks with next to no drawback compared to vampire, even if you can only use werewolf once a day (until you get a certain ring, at least).

Another advantage of having the werewolf perk is that you don't contract any diseases :) . Only disadvantage, if at all you can call it one, you don't get well rested perk after sleeping. but seriously, who cares?

I found Barbas today. He can single handedly clear fortresses and caverns. I am highly anticipating his battle with a dragon :D

It helps that Barbas is immortal, but there's a certain quest line you can't do if you want to keep him (at least that's the way I understand what I read about him), but as easily as companions break your stealth cover, or get in your way, he's still not worth it. :p

As for werewolf, that's mainly why I got it, disease immunity, I didn't even know about the rested bonus before taking it, but I don't care about it. And as I said earlier there is a ring that when equipped lets you turn into a werewolf, it is unequipped like all other gear when it ends, but re-equipping it lets you do it again, completely removing the once per day "disadvantage".

I've somehow failed the Skooma quest in Riften, I think bandits must have killed Wojeeta, the Argonian skoomahead you need to hand a health potion before work.

Is there any way I can still get the house in Riften?! I love it there.

Tried speaking to Riften jarl but there's no option to tell her about any skooma dealers, and I've heard this quest is kind of integral to gaining permission to buy the house.

Can't believe how decent this plays on 2011 13" MBP w/ Intel 3000 HD. I bit the bullet after reading several other users' experiences. Pretty impressed. My main game is still on 360 but I know I'll want to enjoy the mods as well. The only time so far I really have an issue is in the Tab screen - for some reason the mouse gets "sticky".

I decided to start a new game today, a bit of a weird mix. Something Ive never tried before.

High Elf in Heavy armor, with no physical weapons/shields... just magic, but attempting to use conjuration as a primary skill. It's pretty fun so far. Raise undead is a quick way to level up! I got from 1 to 7 in the space of 15 minutes! I'm enjoying it anyways.

I never touched High Elf in TES games.. just didn't like the snobbery of their characters. Now they've been brought down a peg or two in Skyrim, I can give them a go. xD

Yeah, the thing runs like a champ with my 320M MBP. 'Course, the draw distance could be better, I usually hear the dramatic music before I see the snow leopard that's going to kill me, which is kind of a PITA when you're trying to play a sneaky character. :laugh:

Dawnbreaker is better in my opinion. It's the reward of a daedric shrine. the most I will tell you is that it's on the northern part of the map, in the mountains.

I am pretty ****ed because I lost Chillrend to a glitch when I put it on display in my house.

[dead.cell]

Someone on Fitocracy told me they went Illusion/Conjurer, going invisible and summoning Daedra on their enemies watching them stomp the crap out of everything. Sounded interesting to say the least lol!

Planning on being a Breton mage next play through. Maybe going vampire just for a different playstyle, since I plan on going werewolf with my current character. Planning on being a douche bag, joining the storm cloaks and slaughtering the innocent. :p

LOL haven't had that experience...yet. I can say that the draw distance when it comes to environment is noticeable better than 360 though. Have you tried changing anything in the advanced settings or ini file?

I always find it startling when I am sneaking, sneaking, getting ready for the backstab, and my follower starts coughing! Take a damned lozenge Mjoll the Lioness! She is my favorite follower, but she does talk at odd times, usually when I am in the middle of getting a quest and I can't hear what the quest giver is saying. But here accent is so cute I'll keep her around.

For me it's a toss-up between Dawnbreaker and Dragonsbane. It's always fun to see a bandit fly across the room after a finishing blow with Dragonsbane. :p

My follower Benor or whatever, always says "that's...that's...wow!" when we go into a big cave or dungeon. :D doesn't usually talk otherwise.

I finally tried this game on PC. and i didnt get far. The controls are horrible.

I have to rebind them or something to make the game more playable. I couldn't find a mouse sensitivity setting anywhere either, so i have to look around more for that.

if i cant fix the controls then i probably wont even bother with it. the controls are that terrible.

WASD is terrible?

You can remap the keys and there is a mouse sensitivity setting.

I also struggled with the mouse, and the terrible FOV.

I've changed the FOV to 85-90. It's perfect this way.

[ylcard]

Yeah, I did the same, but I didn't know how to do it at first, so I suffered for quite a bit..

I normally go with the Huntress. I have also married her which means I am able to get some money out of her for the story while being together. I have also noticed her yawning in front of conjurers and bandits.

How do you change FOV?

[Inactive]

I finally got this and it's probably one of the best games I have ever played. :D

There are a few annoyances like the weird glitchy shadows that shift every few seconds but hopefully a patch will fix things like that.

I've been playing it 3rd person view mostly, which makes it a bit harder to select things on screen. In first person view it just feels like my face is smashed up against the screen, not sure how to describe it. Just feels too close and confined. Maybe changing the FOV would help.
