And the dragon resisted the spell, it wasn't that I didn't have a soul gem big enough. I had empty ashuras star so I think that can hold any soul.

Not sure if they always resist it or if I was just unlucky with that one. Time to hit up google I guess .

Remember, you always absorb the souls of dragons...

I have barely touched a quarter of the world and keep finding more neat quests to do.

Night to remeber is hilarious.

Just curious...

I made a dual wield character and have enjoyed it. But all of the sudden today I had this revelation, are you really doubling your damage wielding two swords? You can only swing one at a time, so technically wouldn't you have the same DPS doing sword and board? It was just a thought that crossed my mind and I'm curious to know if anybody has done any research or have any thoughts on it.

The only benefit I see is the skill perk for 1H weapons that increases your dual wield attack speed; I don't know if that's worth it though.

Even at level 30+ I'm always getting crushed by frost mages. Literally 2 shot deaths by some of the higher level master mages.

What do I need to change? Enchants on my armor?

What kind of armor do you have? Mages don't give me too much trouble anymore, but when they did, I'd stay back, conjure something, and pop off arrows. You could enchant a bunch of stuff w/Resist [Fill in the Blank] if it's that bad.

Against mages, shouts, sprints, and power attacks are your friends. Stagger them, catch them quickly, then hit them with a power attack to keep them reeling.

Mages CAN chew through me pretty quickly as well.

Pop a resist magic potion, and then bull rush them. I'll try to burn them with flame on the way in and then switch to a shield and you can stagger them with the shield. Hold block and then your primary attack will bash them. This works without the power bash skill.

if you can avoid their spells for long enough, let them drain themselves of magic.

I'm DW mace with 2xDaedric with magika damage on them. Where it can come into play is the double power attack (hold both mouse buttons down). Pretty much one shot everything except boss mobs.

I'm wearing Legendary Dragonplate armor with no enchants currently. Playing primarily as a battle mage, but my destruction is much further behind my 1h and Heavy Armor.

I think it was a Companion quest against Arondil?, but holy hell that guy could wreck me before I even had the chance to rush him.

I don't even want to see how many hours I've dumped into this game. And I still feel like I have so much to do. I've done the Mage's Guild, Companions, & Thieves Guild quests, maxed out Smithing & Enchanting so I have some dirty Magicka Regen enchantments on my armor, and I'm just now moving on to about the 4th or so quest in the main storyline. After that, I'm going to get involved in the Civil War. I'm an Imperial, but I think the Stormcloak Rebellion is more my style. Regardless, I'm going to do 1 mission at a time on each side to see how far I can go playing both sides...

I'm rolling along and I haven't really run into anything that's given me much trouble yet, so I'm thinking I'm Mister Billy Badass. Out on a hike last night I see a dragon lair pop up on my compass so I go have a look. I move in and take him out with average effort.

Then, as I walk over to claim my new shout, this lich jumps out of a coffin and proceeds to obliterate me. He had a name too, not just something generic like Lich King, so I guess he'll come up in a later quest. Anyway, being the stubborn ass I am, I spend the next 45-60 minutes trying to kill this guy. Finally Lydia knocks him off a cliff and he stays down there shooting fireballs up at me but there was a slight overhang blocking them from doing much damage. So using that a cover I put about 25 arrows in him and finally took him out.

I feel a little bad not ultimately taking him out head-on, but after an hour of getting my ass handed to me every which way, I'll take the kill. I recovered his staff and found it shoots 70pt fireballs with a 15ft blast radius. Those hurt.

question: if you give your companion/pack mule a badass sword/armor/shield/bow, can they then use that equipment like the diablo II helpers?

RA, that same exact thing happened to me, that guy whooped my ass. I am leaving him for alter.

I wish there was some way to make notes on the map of stuff I need to revisit later, like chests I cannot open yet.

Also, anyone check out any good mods yet? Memory mod?

I added the Large Address Aware mod yesterday - not sure if it made a difference. I was getting a lot of slow down on Ultra with or without it. Everything running like a champ on High at the moment.

NOTE TO SELF: Watch out for oily grounds when your flame atronoch is roaming around. It will kill you quickly.

Also note to self: loading up you mule lady with badass equipment, dual summons and running around tossing dual destruct spells
kills things quickly. Even dragons. May try a giant later.

Had to buy a cheapie 1GB graphics card from BB. 256mb will not do it. Still on lowest setting, 5 year old 2.6 dual core and 4gb ram struggles a bit.

What PC mods are people downloading? I assume they are going to start coming out in bunches now that the CK is out.

Does pursuing one quest path void another?

Like if I followed the Imperial quests, will I be unable to follow the Stormcloak?

I have been hesitant on installing any mods since the game is still fairly new. From the mods I've viewed, it really doesn't improve the game all that much. Some of the newer textures don't look all that much different than the original ones (ie improved eyes mod).

The only mod I'm interested in right now is the Skyrim4G mod, which is supposed to allow the game to use more system resources, but the newer version seems to not work.

I think that once you join either the storm cloaks or the imperials, the other path is locked.
