Suprised how east it is so far, I'm only level 2 and I've already killed half a dozen bandits. Long gone are they days of Morrowind and getting your arse handed to you by Rats and Mudcrabs at low levels.

I found a really hard dungeon in the middle of nowhere actually, full of these things called...I forget, began with an F, looked like Golems. Absolute CUNTS. Generally it's quite nice to you, but there are some tough challenges out there.

Also witches. Fuck witches.

Yeah, I was surprised by that. It's more like "pick a preset, then change his (or her) hair colour".


Tbh, Oblivion's 'alter every minute' detail approach never failed to make your character look as retarded as possible. Not that that in itself wasn't easy considering the character models, but even if you had one slider that was out minutely, you were on a one way trip on the Derp Express.

Post still hasn't arrived yet! Want my copy now!!!

Yeah, I learned that. They ignore you unless you go in too close though which is nice.

Had skyrim for about 4 hours and I'm loving it already. I'm sticking to what I know from Oblivion and went a Breton. I just wish I'd had more time to play it before my brother got homeand wanted a shot :x

There's a simple solution to that.

Works every time. :yes:

Destruction is good and all, but it does seem that sometimes a clobber with a sword works better. Which is why I intend to have a decent one-handed skill.

I just had my first encounter with a giant.

Well, two giants.

Holy fuck, they knocked me into orbit with one swipe. No joke. I hadn't even finished my ascent before the autoload kicked in.

Methinks I'll be giving them a wide berth in the future.

Other than the intro I haven't come across another Dragon yet, do they not appear until after a certain quest or something?
