my review of the game so far

i'm at level 16 - first Elder Scrolls game in the series that I've played. From 15 onwards it got me hooked.

It's a whole new experience, very surreal environment and always something there to keep me interested. Just tons and tons of quests to do!

difficulty can be set lower in game if u cant kill something, playing it at normal so far find it fun and achievable still (hardest quest so far was the Thief sidequest, need to kill an entire island of bandits).

Just joined the thief guild and have been stealing things and selling them at Riften (as i find this easiest way to make money).

A lot of shortcuts, hidden paths, interactive levers etc to pull and interact with to make the game even easier to bypass certain quests.

Dragons are interesting NPCs that drops nice loots (get to learn Shouts after touching stone + dragon soul). You being the lead character in the game is the last Dragonborn (or Dovankiin).

The game has some catchy dragon language too:

English Translation

Dragonborn Dragonborn
By his honor is sworn
To keep evil forever at bay
And the fiercest foes rout
When they hear triumph’s shout
Dragonborn for your blessing we pray

And the scrolls have foretold
Of black wings in the cold
That when brothers wage war come unfurled
Alduin, bane of kings
Ancient shadow unbound
With a hunger to swallow the world

I would say this game is worth the money. Tons of hours of gameplay and re-playability. There are more than 10 types of Character class to build and test on (not including the fact that you can even transform to a Werewolf or Vampire if you wish to), as well as skills that you could major on (many branches of skills such as spell classes, one handed weapon, heavy armor, light armor, thief, alchemy, blacksmith etc)

Nice game indeed worth the try!

yeah lvl 16 taking my own sweet time (working dude here)..

took me like 1 mth to reach where I am... coz was still getting use to the controls, exploring the map and such.

Best achievement so far is getting a horse, a house, married, then joining the thief's guild... that itself also took quite alot of time..

(p.s. Ysolda is a pretty chick waiting for me in Breezehome.. )

haha yeah those bone armors huh.. read about it. I've sold all of those dragon bones tho dont feel I'll need it zzz.

unlocked till Dwarven armor so far.. New armors always look better than previous. Cant wait till I unlock godlike ones as in those load screen sneak-peeks.. (where a random armor, weapon pops up during load)

there are some glitches here and there. Last night exploited one, up speech skill till 100

follow the steps:

(be warn the game will be much tougher as you'll end up progress 5-6 levels ahead with difficulty increasing as well. Had to reduce my difficulty later during combat as it suddenly became very much more tougher)

Yeah Heroes VI sucks.. buy it only during offer too many changes made the game lame

Hmm will try going to Winterhold soon to steal gems ... addicted to Soul Gems' enhancements

nice book bro.. wish i have it...

sleeping at 2AM now bcoz of this game.. -__-||

just learned 2 more shouts - fire and clear skies (after visiting sky temple, grey beards and Paarthurnax.)

So hard to quit earlier and go sleep... f***in addictive sh**

I have 30k gold now planning to get another house.. wanna try getting the Riften Honeyside house - hope it's unlock by now as I've done a few quests for the Jarl there. (it's the only house that has a garden there - since i love some of the cooking items those livestocks and plants will come into handy)
(30k gold thanks to 100 speech, extra pockets from pickpocketing -100 weight more, and ability to sell stolen goods anywhere.)

lvl 30 now.. so fast @_@

sounds good... but no Garden wor... wanna cook or make potions not as easy as Riften's Honeyside ... Only Riften's one has a garden amongst all of Skyrim houses.. hmm.

even the most expensive house, Solitude's... dont have a garden.. whyyyy... http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Proudspire_Manor

the easiest way to earn money is to join Thief's guild, steal tons of stuffs and sell to Tonilia early on...

then up speechcraft till 80-100 range so you could sell stolen goods anywhere and with merchants having 2k gold they could buy everything from u. (if u're too lazy to travel then dump those treasures at your house to be sold off later)

after which u will be rich.. so rich that earning gold is basically all about pickpocketing, sneak into a house with lockpick skill, lockpick those thick steal safe boxes and back to Tonilia for more $$ ! getting nice loot drops from minions is also one way to go.. I always pick up items that are worth selling till my inventory is full.

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thieves...ld_%28Skyrim%29

so easy. The hard part is fighting dragons and those hard minions. Dislike reducing the difficulty, feels like cheatin when it's too easy =/

loving the thief's guild. doing tasks now is earning more and more gold. At first it's 100 gold for job well done, right now it's at 300. Wondering how much it could increase to if I keep doing those Thief's sidequests... it is said that the guild's hideout will keep improving once you've completed more tasks.

enchanting weapons created from smithing is also a way to go.. but so far it didnt work for me. Those gems alone cost time and farming to make (empty soul gems) after which it will take up time as well to smith them. Guide to doing so: http://www.gamersheroes.com/elder-scrolls-...-make-gold-fast

Stealing is easy and exciting. Just need to know what to steal - Jewelry is always the easiest and lightest for the pockets to make a quick buck. (lots of F5 - quick save and F9 - quick load required for successful curi/rompak operations. Also always switch to your Thief guild uniform when performing a heist - for bonus effects.)

mmm true now im getting overpowered by minions.. need to set difficulty lower (nvm it's my first char experiment first) =P

yeah heard bout the fences, havent reach there yet.. cant wait.. 4k gold of things to sell each fence... cant imagine my gold that time @@

Dwarven ruins sound difficult.. i saw those huge mechanical stuffs and is too afraid to go in for now... i think i'll get pwned by them if i aint ready xD

Yeah I have a dwarven axe with soul trap 4sec.. will use it when almost KO a creep to absorb souls...

just got Honeyside... now suddenly miss the house in Whiterun (the fact that I have 2 pretty ladies nearby able to sell my goods to is plain convenient - speech skill sell higher to opposite sex)

yeah the garden and basement floor is awesome.. lots of ingredients. Those who love Alchemy and cooking must get this house.. tons of materials everywhere

it's the only game that I've played so far that really emphasize on the ART... gosh I have played so many in my lifetime yet this is truly the first at such a scale...

Been making sigs for it and the resources all over the net on beautiful artwork is just mind-blowing.. and they're all taken in game! the sceneries are just wonderful!

not to mention the books that is found in game, the detail on each houses, decorations, details of a city, quests... so much detail and amazingly the game is only 6GB

wow epic mods.. must have cost your CPU alot of processing powerh..

just met a dragon on Winterhold College.. it's first attempt failed (was flying backwards i thought it couldnt penetrate the location - coded to not being able to?)

suddenly mana tau after shopping inside, i went up to the roof to take a shortcut to the Hall of Attainment.. the same fellar landed on the roof!! darn scary! didn't expect it at all to do that and it was throwing frost breaths all over the place. Was a cool scene as the other mages started throwing Astronachs, lightning spells at it from the ground floor... 2 more climb up to the roof to help me... killed it in a short few seconds.

Most epic/unexpected dragon encounter yet
