So I'm rocking the stealth+archery playstyle. It's not as easymode as sword and board, but it's much more enjoyable. You don't just run through dungeons giving your right index finger carpal tunnel, you have to move slowly, scout routes, and plan, to a degree. It's still fairly easy once you get some of the perks (and the game goes easy on you those first dozen levels or so, allowing you the time to reach those perks) but you don't just roll through dungeons like you're Superman. Also, casters are more manageable because they're usually either dead or slightly perforated by the time they are able to find me, if they manage that at all. Draugr Deathlords, Overlords, and Death Overlords, etc, provide the most trouble, even more than dragons (which aren't that hard to deal with - they're easily manageable with arrows). Those guys have a good deal of health and can close the distance between you and them fairly quickly, even with my arrows staggering them. Dragons at least spend 90% of their time doing aerial maneuvers and strafing breath attacks that only sweep through you for half a second. EDIT: Oh, also, I'm a vampire. Nifty abilities, even if none of them have become staples in my use. There's also the cool mechanic about having to feed every in-game week-ish (I think it's five days but I'm not sure on that) and not having your magic, health, and stamina recover while you're outside during the day. |

So I got Skyrim for X-mas, and I have been playing the crap out of it. My default character type when I start a new fantasy-themed game is always a melee tank, so I've been putting pretty much everything I have into heavy armor and two-handed weapons. So far the game is very pretty, and there are some spots where Bethesda are just blatantly showing of the new game engine, which is fine. Kinda got caught up in the main story arc just cause it moves you along quite smoothly, although I've put that on hold to do some more exploring and such. Um, yeah, so far it's very impressive, fun and makes me all tingly when I anticipate what the next Fallout game will look like. |

I think that's what made me like the game better than Oblivion and Morrowind, you want to explore and see the sights, and it's fun to play. |

Apparently it's possible to burn down buildings, is that true? And how so? |

I don't think so, therefore I don't know. |

If we can burn down buildings, I didn't know about it. |

Should have played a Dunmer to increase your fire resistance then.

*ba dum tish* i tried playing a high elf, but since illusion spells don't work on dragons (or so i've heard), i got bored with him. It was funny as hell to charm bandits and have them say the nicest things before i crushed their skull with a warhammer power attack though. |

For some strange reason this kind of reminds me of Skyrim: Don't know why... |

In their tongue she's DOVAKIIN. but most know her as PRINCESS HAMMER! Started playing again. Picked up my high elf illusionist. For some reason it is funny as hell to storm a room flinging calm spells like pies, then hear everyone say the nicest things before you crush their heads with an ebony hammer. |
