Thanks. So, I should take the broken Azura star to Nelancar?

so i finally got my enchanting and smithing to 100, and i'm having a great time making all kinds of light and heavy dragon armor with different groups of enchantments for different scenarios....

it's pretty nice to run around and cast any destruction spell i want and not have it cost me a darn thing in magica....

i discovered a new shout that's pretty unique....i forget the name, but just for the first word it has a 300 second recharge time, and all it does it cause a thunderstorm.....i haven't had a chance to use it yet with enemies around, but i was curious if anyone else has came across this shout and found it useful.

level 52 all mage and still haven't beaten the main story yet after 160 plus hours in

I have the Azura's Star bug so it never worked for me. It just sits in my inventory doing nothing.

The lightening storm shout is indeed awesome and works well for when you are attacking a fully manned Nord fort as part of the rebellion main quest line.

I had over 120 hours on my Skyrim save. Had the main quest finished, but was still lacking some Daedric quests and hadn't even started the Civil War story. Then my PS3 got the Yellow Light of Death.

I did the re-flowing solder repair, but didn't get enough run time out of it to back anything up or transfer data over. Then it did it again. Re-flowed the solder a second time and replaced all of the thermal pads/paste. This time something corrupted on the hard drive. I spent hours trying various work arounds to get past the corrupted file system error, but never could get it restored. Ultimately lost the save file along with everything else I had saved.

It was a dark time in Tamriel. Feeling too burned by that experience to start over at this time. The worst part was when I realized I was going to have to find all of those dang map markers again...

Storm thrall or something like that? I have all 3 levels of it. Awesome, but takes forever to recharge. If I remember right, don't use it near friendlys or random people in a city because the lightning attack will strike any and everybody near you regardless of how much they like you. Badass shout though.

I'm on the "First Lessons" quest at the College of Winterhold, but nothing happens during the lesson when I'm supposed to protect myself with a ward spell. They all just stand there waiting! I've allowed several days to pass, but to no avail.

Do you actually have a ward spell yet? If not you can buy one from a merchant that sells spells.

Yes, I have two. I've tried all kinds of things, but no progress...very frustrating!

Google search the name of the quest....usually one of the first websites that pops up is a wikepedia website look alike that's just for skyrim.....itll walk you through whatever bugs your having and how to fix it.....

I've used it for multiple bugged quests or quests I was simply lost because there was no indicator on the map, and its worked great everytime.

I've never really messed around with mods before for Skyrim, aside from a couple of graphics one and a UI fix, but I found this on YT and it looks awesome. Anyone tried this one? it's a huge DLC type of addon.


it's called Falskaar

My understanding is that the mod has basically been a job application for the developer. Apparently it's incredibly well done.

So I was missing ESO beta and kicked up my lvl 33 sword & board destruction magic summoning heavy armor Nord and became a vampire lord yesterday.

Good times.

Who can also sneak really well, makes portions, is a blacksmith by trade, can pick locks, is pretty damn good with two handers, likes to use bows, and enjoys enchanting.

/every es player ever.

I almost always play mage and let my martial skills suffer until I want to level up some.

After getting my new GFX Card I decided to dust off skyrim, and then mod the hell out of it. Thought I would share a few screencaps of what I'm working with.

dayuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum

Looks great. The shadows are amazing

Game still looks amazing in Nvidia 3D- really disappointed that ESO is not using it.

Wow

which mods?

It will never cease to shock me how beautiful this game is.

I followed this tutorial

Which uses all the mods listed here

This game makes me want to buy a PC just for it. I played it on 360. Still awesome but no DLC.

I want to install Skyrim again

I downloaded dawnguard and played in on my 360 with zero issue, downloaded the dragonborn dlc, and after traveling to whatever island turns out I'm a vampire out of nowhere, and the game randomly freezes. Keeps me from picking the game up and finishing...

Reinstalled and started playing two weeks ago. now have over 100 hours logged. 100 NEW hours logged that is.

This game is quite simply the best. I played the hell out of it, stopped about a year ago and went on to other things. Got tired of other things over that year. The newest AAA releases are borderline garbage. I have been buying into the indie market for something fresh but that's hit or miss. Said screw it and loaded up skyrim again with fresh new start. Very little mods...mostly quest and faction stuff and took off again. Fell in love all over again.

This game still continues to stand out graphicwise, playability, replayability, story, and just overall quality of the build itself from UI to sound.


Love it. I am now a new level 38 alchemist spell sword type of fella.

Absolutely amazing. Already engaged in a rebellion

And this line, three years later, still makes me laugh.

One of the best games of all time, I spent more time playing oblivion but that was just a product of having more free time.

Bethesda really needs to release a new ES or Fallout game soon, it's been too long for both of those franchises.

They have a new version coming. MMORPG though. Pay games are s***.

The MMORPG is already out. And all sorts of Meh from what i've read.

The only franchise which comes close is Fallout of course. And work is well under way on Fallout 4. Pretty damn happy about that. Elder Scrolls Online had a lot of issues at start and I hope they ironed out most of them by now. I was stoked for it until I realized I hated MMOs. I know why they made it and even agree with them...but I want another singleplayer epic like Skyrim.

Hell I'd even be happy with more quality expansions to tide me over

The thing they messed up on and lost me as a potential customer was the full price (59.99) AND then a monthly subscripion....no thanks.

I finally bought this on the 75% off sale last week. How did I miss this game - it's awesome, over four years later!

I've hit 500 hours in this game since 2011. I'm addicted to mods and I don't care who knows it. This game is one of the greatest of all time.

The only mod I've installed so far is SkyUI, but it's a big improvement in the inventory system - I haven't figured out what else I need.

Like probably everyone else, I started the game with a wood elf archer/thief, but I'm already thinking about rolling a pure mage. Hack and slash doesn't interest me - the h2h combat seems kind of meh compared with everything else.

I'm up to level 12 and just became a companion. Those quests were was tough - with my squishy archer, a couple of places took me a couple of tries.

Also just did the Blessing of Nature. Witches suck. That Hagraven especially gave me a lot of trouble. The first time I snuck up on her and killed her from far away out of her range, then messed around and by the time I got there (through a blinding snowstorm) I couldn't find her body, and couldn't find the Nettlebane anywhere. When I reloaded she saw me that time, so after failing a few times to kill her at range (fireballs suck), I charged in there and figured out she was much easier to kill up close. That gave me the experience of being poisoned for the first time, so I need to deal with that.

I also lost my first follower. Faendal was following me when I started the companion's quest where Farkas tags along, and I haven't seen him since. I just got Lydia, so I guess she's my new packmule.

Even though it is an older game comparatively speaking now it still holds up so damn well.

I am well and past my Fallout 4 honeymoon period and some glaring weaknesses kinda turned me off there at the end.

Weaknesses that are simply not present in Skyrim. Plus with the modding community still going full tilt the amount of replay ability and content available it is insane how many hours you can put into into it and not even notice.

So I can now say with conviction.

Skyrim is still my most favorite game to date.

I lost my save file which had a character who could fart on an elder dragon and kill it.

Think starting over is worth it?
