CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 yea, the fallout misc. quests got mixed in with the notes and holotapes and passwords and recipes and etc... i probably ignored a lot of them, they usually consisted of roughly the same things skyrim does; bring me this or gather that... but at least it's organized... the more and more hours i sink into skyrim, the more and more excited i get about the next fallout... i am really loving the engine build... it's oblivion on steroids, and to be honest, i haven't experienced a lot of glitches and freezes... it's been a pretty smooth experience so far... whiterun still slows down at times *cough* fire *cough* but i haven't really dealt with the typical bugs that you'd expect with a bethesda-published title... *knocks on wood* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 I'll admit I've thrown on the prisoner clothes you start out in and wandered around the desert-like area between Windhelm and Riften, pretending it's Fallout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skribble 32 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 I've tried to clear up my quests but I've got heaps of buggy quests I can't clear. Speaking to esbern after he asks you to kill parthunaax . and can't complete speak to the jarl of riften or return to the jarl of riften. Getting annoying that I can't clear out all my quests. I like to be organized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handsome B Wonderful 331 Report post Posted January 21, 2012 I finally finished the main quest (and downloaded the update, lol). Tbh,it wasn't that epic. I enjoyed the College Of Winterhold questline a lot more. My level 33 high elf is now on her quest to master Five Magics (see what I did there). I'm at 92 conjuration, 77 Destruction, 50 Restoration, 37 Alteration, and 37 illusion, so clearly I've got a while to go yet. Also, she's kicking it with Zombie Ulfric Stormclock in a loin cloth atm. I love the Dead Thrall spell. Edit: I just fast travelled with Ulfric, and now his got all his clothing back. WTF??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted January 21, 2012 what i saw after being poisoned and brainwashed by a daedric prince, which i now must this complete quest because i am drugged, and i want to make the experience true... i guess i chose the right time to have a trippy experienced... i was wondering why the sky looked so bad ass while i was seeing wild colors ... -------------------------- @HBH - you're a level ahead of me, and i just read alduin's wall about an hour ago ... my skill build is not that of a mage, but my next character is going to be a ruthless/cunning/evil mage... but right now my main skills are smithing (73), heavy armor (67/87 with the ring i always use), one-handed (79), lockpick (56), sneak (63), conjuration (36) and enchanting (62)... i am actually starting to get into conjuration, and my breton started out with a decent level already... i just haven't really used it outside of soul trapping... i turned my breton into a tank warrior with an above average resistance to magic/poisons/diseases... i am a warrior out there, but i do look forward to creating a hunter with my next file... you seem to be doing the character build i want to try out... EDIT: HA!! i was wondering why i would find strange types of arrows on enemies, then also find them in mjoll's inventory... she's like most of bethesda's in-game followers; annoying as fuck, and usually taking something better to use in combat... so i gave her an arrow i am looking forward to having a nice collection of, the ebony arrow... now i find one on dead enemies every now and then... all it takes is a single arrow to equip her with infinite ones... i am sure not all companions use arrows, but then again, i never use anyone else...

Stoic Person Eater 159 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 This week, I borrowed a copy of MW3, received a copy of Halo Anniversary, picked up Black Ops, Trivial Pursuit, and Borderlands and alI could play this weekend is Skyrim (aside from playing TP with Mrs. Person Eater). I'm in the middle of the war, but I keep getting distracted from going back and telling someone that I fucking killed everyone. "Oh, you're done killing everyone? Go see this dickhead and let him know you're done killing everyone." Ok. Fast travel somewhere to let the dickhead know everyone is dead. "Thank you for killing everyone in that city. Here is a supershitty sword for your efforts. Now go and talk to the dickhead that sent you here and get the next location of the place where you're going to meet up with some useless scouts that you're probably going to kill with your rain of fireballs and arrows, then kill everyone else and their dogs and horses. When you're done, go see the dickhead that sent you to meet the scouts, that I sent you to go see after he sent you to come see me after you killed everyone and went and told him that they were dead and he was glad because he had told you to go meet with the scouts when you went and saw him because I had told you to go see him for the mission. I'll dig around in the shitter for a weapon to give you when you get back. See you soon." But I am still loving the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stoic Person Eater 159 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 ^lmao, that pretty much sums up the whole civil war quest series. It was pretty tedious. I played 6 hours last night and knocked out two or three more of the Civil War quests. Same shit, go here, see him, go see scouts, kill everyone, go back there, come back here. I have to break them up with other quests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pitbull 13 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 Had a major glitch last night, but could only do it once, sort of. I was in Windhelm doing the Murderer quest and was waiting around the market place to find the killer. Anyway i got bored waiting and started jumping up at the blacksmith sigh and making it swing. All of a sudden on one of my jumps the game sticks for a second (or did something) then i'm falling. I end up in the sea, no land anywhere. Obviously i'm thinking "what the fuck". I look on my map and i've some how manage to end up miles to the south west of the map. I still have my arrows pointing me to my quests so i start swimming. I do this for a good 20-30 mins, and i didn't seem to be getting any closer. Then i tried just diving straight down, had a potion that let me waterbreath for a minute but never found the bottom and i drowned. Reloaded and tried it again but the ps3 kept crashing. But on one occasion i suddenly jump/flew to the otherside of the market, really weird. Only thing i can think of is that my pushing of the sign glitches it to catapult me somewhere. Give it a go and let me know. Oh and Delphine finally forgave me for whatever i pissed her off with so a can now continue the main storyline. Currently in Winterhold doing the magic stuff, don't really cared for it but figured it might help getting some decent spells just incase i need them, But with my magicka only at 120 and all the magic schools not even pasted 30 i don't think i'll be relying on them heavierly. Keeping to the heavy armour and sneak attacks work best for me, plus the shouts of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 wow, i've logged in a whopping 149 hours ... i think i last left off at level 32 too... whiterun is starting to lag even more, and my storage conatainers in my house are taking longer to scroll through because of a noticalbe lag when looking at the list of items, or when adding items to it... file size is near 8MB now, i am wondering how bad it's going to be when i reach 10MB... i cross-checked the file size with my fallout new vegas saves and came up with a stuning conclusion; my main new vegas file still has a 100 more hours than skyrim ... however, my evil character has played only 10 more hours than my current skyrim file... and i am just now getting ready to head to winterhold for the elder scroll and for various other quests that needs wrapping up around the area... but i have to journey to windhelm to get there, so i could potentionally end up adding another 12 or so misc. quests and a couple more main quests on top of the huge list of quests i've picked up in the past 15-20 hours of gaming... good grief, i'll never finish this game, will i ...

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 @convo before D-O... i have been cheap with my game playing the past couple of years... i rent when i really want to play and beat something, but i haven't bought a game since saints row 3... and before that?? go back to may, LA noire... sometimes there's more important things to spend money on... i made skyrim my christmas gift and looked forward to it for 2 months... and now that i have it, i really don't see anything out there right now worth playing anyways... so until then, i will skyrim it up!! then start an evil mage character and play that until another game can command my time.... and right now, i don't really see anything coming up that's worth it...

DiO 4730 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 no fucking way lol well i got 45 quests and and 98 mics missions. not sure where to see the the overall hours played. all i know is i played the shit out of it. gonna cut down on it a bit cause i got homework and drinking to do this weekend. edit a quick way i was leveling my stats and just buying a fuck load of leather and making leather Armour and shit. blacksmiths always have leather armour stock. i just make a crap load and sell it. also when i kill someone i always take their armour. usually its imperials and their light armour. take those, upgrade them at a work bench and you level it up pretty good when you doing to to 10 armour suits at a time after each quest. that and you turn a profit.

Massacre 7646 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 You just seem to be doing as much as possible in whatever area you're in before moving on, regardless of the amount of xp you get doing it. Nothing wrong with that. When I played Fallout 3 for the first time, I spent three days doing everything there was to do in Megaton. Granted, I've played it enough that I can now do all that shit in an hour, but still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
