Skyrim, or, How I Ruined My LifeFollow

I just always feel so naked and defenseless using two-handed weapons. A shield has obvious (immense) utility. Having magic in one hand has utility, additional damage, and the ability to dictate range. Etc.

The same is true of DW I suppose.

******' lol.

I'm hot for housecarl. Also shouting is so fun.

SpoilerThe Jarl's advisor was all like: "Do you really think he is dragonborn?" So I shouted him into the wall to show him what was up. Unfortunatly the Jarl and all his guards were not nearly as amused by that as I was.

I did the EXACT same thing

What? It worked for the guards out at the West Watch tower...

Am I the only one who uses the dash on cooldown when I'm wandering through the wilderness?

Also, digg, where did you find part 3 of Unrelenting Force? I'm only up to FUS RO. I've only gotten as far as visiting the Greybeards, though.

I was the the College of Winterhold, and a dragon attacked. One dragon vs eight mages was pretty hilarious.

Horses are confusing me. I bought one, and got off it to go do a dungeon. The manual says that after fast-traveling to a city, that the horse will be at the stables.

Well, it's there, but it's apparently not mine anymore. Hovering the pointer over it says "Steal".

I'm not going to be very happy if I'm out 1,000 gold for nothing.

Did you try fast traveling back to the initial location, just to confirm he wasn't left behind? I'd say do it, and try to head to a different city to see if that changes things.

That's why one of the first things I did was save up for a house so I could have a storage chest for my crafting materials. I'm a big Nord with allot of stamina but it's amazing how much weight that stuff was just leaching until I dumped it in my storage chest at home.

Now when I go dungeoning I can carry out lots more shiny loot to sell.

The moment I saw dragon bones were weighed 15 and dragon scales weighed 10, I saved up 5000g to buy my house. Of course, not a moment later, some npc marked Azura's Shrine on my map and I knew exactly what I had to do next!

Wait the Daedra shrines are in this game? I haven't even seen anything about them yet. I need to find that.

One thing I love about playing a game like this right when it comes out is that there's so many surprises, and you can't really find out much beforehand. It's kind of like playing an MMO on launch date - there's always a chance you'll stumble upon something nobody's seen yet.

Even the wiki is still really sparse. I went to look up a boss for a quest I was doing in a lighthouse where a family was slaughtered (That place was hard at my level, too. Freaking Chauruses) and they didn't even have an entry for the quest.

Sidenote: That quest is worth doing, just for the permanent +10% to healing spells buff it gives you. It's a lighthouse I found on my way to Winterhold.

Upstairs, next to the bed, there is a chest that you can use without buying any extras. Storing items then upgrading will not cause you to lose them (unless there is a glitch? I kept my items anyway).

I think just about all of the upgrades will add storage chests, which is useful since chests are not categorized, you only see everything inside of it. The most expensive one is the Alchemy Lab at 500g, the rest are 250-300g.

This is the Whiterun house, I don't know if there are other houses.

Then I must be blind
