Well, Alduin wasn't all that difficult to beat. Did anyone else kill Paarthurnax at the end? I thought I'd leave him, but then the other dragon said he would go off to rule just as tyranically as Alduin. Whoops.

The temple just before was pretty good for a scrap though - bout 6 or 7 Deathlords, all attacking at the same time. Could have done with more of that, really.

You can kill Paarthurnax whenever. He pretty much lets you kill him. I've left him kicking about on the mountain for the time being, mainly because I take offense to the Blades pressuring me on the issue. I'm the fucking Dragonborn, guys. I've just saved everybody from the WORLD-EATER. And you want me to kill the nice, helpful dragon because you're racist/have an epic-old grudge? Come off it.

'Course, Paarthurnax may just be behaving himself in the time between Alduin-is-dead and the Dragonborn-dies-of-old-age, but hey, who cares?

And yeah, some of the fights in the temple were awesome. Kinda wanted that staff, though, dammit.

The Conan show's Andy Richter did much of the voice work for Skyrim. I didn't know that.

Yep, got my Legendary Dragon-scale armor with double enchantments on it - now I'm wandering the map, and doing some Companion quests. Shot someone in the knee the other day...

And if the steam integration works well, it'll be even more awesome than usual

Bards in Solitude?

I got to the point where I was just randomly wandering around slicing up anything that came into sight so I'm taking a break for a while. I also finally got Shadowmere killed, that horse is handy but oh so annoying - I'd like to be able to carve up stuff without the demented neighing going on in my ear. Better not come back to life or I'll have to find another mountain to jump him off.

Civil war and Bard questline it is. I need to find some more challenging dragon priests. Is there any gear that anyone knows about that makes for better archery? I currently have a 35% archery cowl (from somewhere) and a 15% ring. Could make an amulet I suppose and get my enchanting up.

Havnt been playing Skyrim recently. My home in Whiterun is like a vault atm so I could just enchant them.

I had Meeko for awhile till he started just getting in my fucking way while I was swinging my sword and killed him so many times I finally sent him home since I didnt need the xtra muscle on I leveled up enough. Anyway Meekos Shack is somewhere South of Solitude, West of Morthal. He is waiting on the road near the shack so you cant miss him.

No, the dog is called Barbus and you find him outside Falkreath after talking to the gate guard. If you take up Barbus' mission to find his master and then don't complete the mission then, voila, your very own indestructible dog...wish Dogmeat in Fallout 3 had been indestructible...

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

I did the Barbus quest already, sent him back to his master because he was annoying, and not a real dog.

[tiam]

Is that the Clavicus Vile quest? If so ive done it blast!

[Beezulbubba]

Holy sphincter squeeze! I just came across the corrupted shades for the first time! (in Kilkreath Ruins). There are desecrated corpses everywhere! sick sick mother fuckers!

You finally reached the lvl 100 enchanment mark then Trav?

Yep. Double enchantments are great, although you can't add one to already enchanted items.

I now have dragonscale gauntlets with 40% archery bonus + 40% one-handed, dragonscale helm with 40% archery bonus and 40% destruction; armor with stamina bonus and 60 extra health points, and boots with 40% sneak and hauling bonus. Plus, an amulet with another 40% archery bonus and hauling. Oh, and a shield with protection against Fire and Frost damage.

(Early on though it's best to find items with archery bonuses, but in the long run it's way better to make your own - rings, amulets, it all adds up).

I can basically make another set with different combinations any time I like - for extra archery damage, you can enchant gloves, helm/cowl and necklaces. I found a previously undiscovered dragon last night, and shot him dead with a single elven arrow.

Had a wander last night, found another dragon priest hidden in some ruins - I have quite a few masks now, anyone know how many there are in total?

Also, do you have to do loads of side jobs to get the Thieves guild back to form? I thought it ended with the Nightingale quests, but I don't have an achievement for it yet so i guess there's more.

I shall have to get my enchanting up so I can crack on making epic armour archery boosts. Im level 44 atm with Sneak, archery and smithing being my only maxed skills. Ive been playing it naturally though and enjoying it. What I mean is I didnt do what I did on Oblivion where I walked in one direction looking for dungeons while constantly casting low level illusion/alteration spells to get my level up. Ive been on Level 44 as I just sneak around and stealth shoot everything. I might have to change my playing style to get my level up.

Also Traveller I know youve reached max enchanting but have you sunk all your points into it yet?

[Illuyankas]

Traveller, there are nine masks in total, eight of which you need to get to stick in the big mask statue you see in loading screens sometimes to get the ninth (only don't upgrade the masks if you want it since it erases any improvements once they go on the statue) some of which require progress through faction questlines and one in particular that's past the point of no return in the main quest. As for the Thieves Guild, from what I remember you need to do at least five of the random side jobs in each of the cities you're told you need to re-establish TG presence in to get it, which I could never be bothered with since there doesn't seem to be a way to control where you go or how many jobs you've done for each. I can't even remember if they give you jobs for places you don't need to steal in for it.

You can abandon the presence missions whenever you like to do the minimum required number for each.
Myself, I like them. Ransacking someone's house, taking shitty stuff away and selling it is a good income, and it helps my policy of establishing a monopoly on violence by stealing everyone elses weaponry.

anyone came across the headless horseman? whats his crack? he was just floating around on my game...
