Hagravens are tough creatures, however I found a friendly one called Melka in the quest to recover the Jarl of Markarth's Ancient Shield. Another cool stuff is your wife pays half of the shop's earnings. That is a really nice way of earning some free gold. :)

That was a fun side quest. It was kinda creepy hearing that breathing though. xD

I was trying my damnedest to get the house in Markarth, and it peeved me to no end that the Jarl was on a timer or something for quests. At one point I thought he was bugged because he wouldn't give me that one last quest, and I really wanted that house!

I came across a pretty annoying bug earlier. I'm not sure why but Farkas from the Companions kept interacting with me over and over, and he would chase me everywhere.

Had to load a previous save and I'm ignoring the Companions for now. :p

Loving this game :D

Just became

Harbinger of the Companions

last night, and I'm about half way through the Mages guild quest line.

Around level 17 or something - battlemage high elf focussing on One Handed (lvl 52) and Destruction (lvl 38 I think).

I got to level 20 last night but my character still seems really underpowered. I'm being killed by the simplest of things.

I think it might be because i've not really focused on a "class". I started off with being an offensive char with a focus on destruction and combat then a few levels i spent getting my smithing up so i could upgrade my weapons, that was a waste as i can only seem to upgrade my Skyforge Steel Sword to superior.

Might be because i've not gone hunting for decent weapons either. I've done a lot of the side quests,

main story i'm at the point where you have to visit the grey beards

.

It might be that these quests are supposed to be this difficult. None of them have stopped me from continuing, i always do finish them... just it takes a few attempts.

Does anyone know how the enemy/difficulty scaling works in this game? When I was level 1-5 playing on Adept (default) I explored pretty much the whole map discovering most of the places on it.

Now I'm at level 30 playing as an archer but most enemies seem to die really easy in 1-2 arrows (sneak x 3.0, ebony bow) even though I've upped the difficulty to expert. I saw it mentioned in a thread elsewhere that the enemies stay at the level you were when you first entered the area, if that's right did I screw the game by discovering all the areas while I was a low level?

I'm pretty sure SOME enemies don't scale with you, but most do.

I recently re-rolled and wandered into an area at Level 1, and I walked into a Master Vampire, who almost whooped my ass. Good thing I had a few potions handy.

I equipped Lydia with Blades armour and enchanted it with my nominal level 30 enchanting skill.

Needless to say, with the Shield of Ysgramor as well she is an absolute tank. She took the blast of a centurion master head on and lost less than a quarter of her health. I sneak shoot her with my archery 100 bow 3x79 dmg + 20 shock, and she loses less than a 20th of her health.

It's great having someone to distract while I pelt my foes with arrows. She almost never attacks, though, even though she has the Mace of Molag Bal. She won't even attack a paralyzed opponent, or a staggering one.

My Lydia died during a dragon attack, I was the only survivor ...

She helped me at times, but she was more annoying than anything.

any way to reset perks ? i messed up and dropped some perks in areas i should not have

Gotta use the console to do it.. assuming you're on the pc.

List of console commands here:

http://www.cheatcc.com/pc/elderscrolls5skyrimcheatscodes.html

And you'll have to look up the individual codes for each skill/perk as well.

This game is absolutely terrible!!

Wasted almost my entire day off today just walking around admiring the amazing landscape and doing random quests. (Level 20 Wood Elf specialising in One handed Axe, Destruction and Restoration).

Next to the original Deus Ex many a year ago, it's the best game I've ever played! :wub:

when i google SkyRim and blizzard all i get are talk and videos of snow in bathesda's skyrim, nothing from Blizzard inc

lol

lol check the sig's on there, one is called " champion of Cryodil " another is " Stupid P " " Level43redguard "" Dragonbourne "

lol

They have the stats to prove it: http://christwire.or...-sex-maneuvers/ :)

While the game is pretty good the list of annoyances is getting pretty long..

- Unbelievably poor textures (usually right next to very pretty ones which just makes it worse)

- Shadow quality from 90s, to the point that the game looks better without them

- Quests pretty much always require you to go to a random dungeon that just happens to be on the other side of the map (repeat 100x and it gets annoying)

- Enemy AI is probably even worse than companion AI

- Companions, I don't think I need to explain this (ok, they trip every single trap, rush in front of you just when you fire off a spell, block door ways)

- The dog (wth Bethesda?)

- Balance seems half-assed, no spell damage scaling while weapon classes pile up massive damages (mainly affects higher difficulties near level 40-50)

- Repeatable "crashes" (where the game just quits without any actual errors (just try to walkthrough Bonechill Passage).

- Inventory sucks on PCs, why do I have to keep scrolling?

- The game is made by Bethesda so none of the above issues will be fixed by them
