I've been working on the main quest more. Interested in working on another character and I figure I'll be able to work on this one more once some DLCs come out. Before I start a new character though I want to finish the main questline. I'm a thane in a few more places now. Only a few cities to go. |

Thane of a few more places. I think I only have Windhelm and possibly Dawnstar to go. Spoilers: I also have a dragon "pet" now. I got a special shout that is just his name (Odaviing, or something like that) and used it at Dragonreach, which was originally built in the first age for the capture of a dragon. We captured Odaviing there and I interrogated him, after which he basically said Alduin was a dick and that he'd take me to go defeat him in the Valhalla-analogue. That's where I last ended up. Apparently you can summon him in combat when you're outdoors, too. It seems to me that summoning him against anything would basically be an "I win" button. |

Also, beat the main questline. Probably going to make the new character once I finish becoming a thane in all the holds. |

Heavy armor, shield, sword, Redguard. Have around 800 armor. Sword does 130-ish. Haven't topped off any skill tree but I'm almost there in Heavy Armor, just missing the top one. |

sounds good. I was wondering if a stealth character or a mage character would fare well. i took a topped out heavy armor guy and did very well. it was hilarious when every other draugr tried to use the disarming shout on my hands. |

My brother's been playing an Argonian mage. Relies on Lydia somewhat to take enemy attention and then sits back and blasts things with dual fireblasts. He histskins occasionally when he needs it. Works pretty well. |

did the same thing for a while, but I kept accidentally killing Lydia while she was down. and Falmer caves are made of ass with any low health, can't block, finite magic character. Dragons seem to hover twice as much if you're a caster too in my experience. |

I saw him take on one dragon. Warded in one hand and used a staff with the other, until it landed, at which point he switched to dual sparks. |

I haven't faced my first dragon yet...should be interesting... Though it seems like trolls, mammoths, and giants are more troublesome than dragons from what I've heard. |

Wasn't my experience, but I imagine it depends greatly on your race and the perks you choose. For me, it's generally this: Any random mage that shoots frost (fuck those guys) > elder dragons > other dragons > frost spirits and magical anomalies (so small, so hard to hit; they don't do much damage back, they're just frustrating) > everything else in the game > mudcrabs. Never had a problem with giants or trolls. You can pretty much stagger-freeze them with repeated shield bashes. I rarely need to do even that though. Fus Ro Dah the giant/troll, sprint up to it, slash it up like I'm a Victorian serial killer and the giant/troll is an East London prostitute, repeat as necessary. I once tried to intentionally trigger the Skyrim Space Program Launch Protocol with giants just so I could see it firsthand by running into the giant camp west of Whiterun. I fast traveled there and proceeded to decimate the two giants, two mammoths, and sabre cat that were there, along with the vanilla dragon that attacked midway through. I was keeping myself healed with my sword, which had a health-stealing enchant, but generally allowed the giants to beat the tar out of me. After that experience giants and mammoths never phased me anymore. I've still never seen the launch bug outside of youtube videos (and I imagine it was one of the things fixed in the patch today). |

i've been launched to the stratosphere once. I thought about saving just so i could load it and show people how goddamn high i went. Also, ice spike i the worst goddamn thing ever. How come when i shoot from magic nobody is slowed down, yet when i get hit by ice magic from anyone else it aggregates around my feet like so much cement that i can only tiptoe towards the enemy. |

You didn't break out? EDIT: Also, 38,000? And they arrested you and didn't just kill you on sight? |

don't know why. maybe it's because i was thane. also, i broke my pick on the adept door lock before noticing the comically large grate with the novice lock. I used to post memetic pictures like you, then i took an arrow to the knee. |
