Thanks for the link.

The blog says they will "submit it to the console manufacturers for certification" next week. Anyone know how long certification typically takes?

When you say that you are entering the second part of the museum, are you sure you are not actually entering Calcemo's lab (which I think you get to through the museum)? You are not "allowed" in Calcemo's lab and will be attacked by the guards. I went in anyway. Since they are not city guards you don't acquire a bounty for killing them.

Took a few weeks last patch.

I never thought my favorite XBOX game would be one in which I pick flowers, chase butterflies, and attend a poetry recital.

...just saying.

But its still pretty hard to progress in the game without a healthy dose of murder.

...just saying.

is so frakkin enormous! I put in 80 some odd hours to Fallout 3 and felt pretty satisfied on my completeness of it. I am scared to look at how much time ive put in so far and I bet there is at least 2x the time I would need to dedicate to feel the completeness I felt after putting down F3. Wow.

BTW one of the most amazing game experiences I've had in gaming. The breadth, scope, depth of the world is mind blowing....

The longer I play it, the more prone I am to murder people too . You should see the killing spree's I go on when it bugs out on me .

I would take a game half the size for a more intertwined story, and more worldly impact from the things the character does. It really is disjointed at times.

Having said that, I could restart a character 4-5 times and never enter the same cave, ruin, dungeon or even townhold if I wanted.

A re-take on the original Skyrim trailer.

This guy is freaking hilarous. Watch some of his other ones (a list is on the right hand side). Wow, he has some insane talent with doing these things. He even does some movies, etc.

Wow, Shadowmere is an awesome horse. Pitch black with red eyes, and the only horse in the game that is indestructable unless it falls off a cliff (if it goes down in battle it is just unconscious and stands up after the battle).

It is also the fastest horse in the game and can actually climb mountains that the player can't. It actually killed an ancient dragon for me. I was waiting for my magic to recharge and Shadowmere kicked the dragon and killed it.

If you put health potions in Shadowmere's inventory it will actually use them in battle. It has a very rapid HP recovery too.

I got the thing awhile back and never really expiremented with it. I tried it the other day when I was just out goofing around. Best horse in the game hands down.

That horse freaks me out. I always forget he is with me and then I fast travel somewhere and hear a noise coming from behind, turn around and those devil eyes are looking me.

I still have not figured out how to "send him home" if you even can.

Where can you get this horse? Cost?

Over 50 hours in and still loving this game! Was going through some temple last night and wound up in this HUGE open area with GIGANTIC mushrooms growing in spots........what a trip!

I know exactly what place you're talking about. Blew my mind when I first got there.

Where should Lydia's corpse be? I'm pretty sure she got killed in a dragon fight. Couldn't find her corpse anywhere but she hasn't followed me around for a while and she isn't in my house in Whiterun. She is carrying a bunch of valuable stuff I would like to get back.

I think you're SOL. This is one of the quibbles I have with the game. It needs a much better way via the map or graphics to show where dead companions and NPCs are. I've also had companions die in strange situations and had trouble finding their bodies. And few things work me up as much as having my Dremora Lord go off and kill some NPCs with possible decent loot in the woods and the bodies are hidden somewhere in the foilage and impossible to find.

Got my first horse at 100 hours in. I refused to pay for one but 'earned' Frost at the end of a mission. Now he magically appears all over the place.

Went to Maraketh (sp) for the first time. I'm 100 hours in, just got to Maraketh, and have never been to Pale, Solitude, etc. This game is going to never end....which is good and bad. Thankfully more good.

I have my first broken quest also, thankfully a Misc one but really annoying. Vilkas gave me the worst quest, find an escaped prisoner outside Whiterun. Of course he is nowhere to be found. I gave up and then 20 or so hours later realized that the quest went to my closed section of the menu with the diamond still unchecked. And of course the Companions say they can't give me new missions because the old one is still open. So they're borked.

Any idea how we handle the stray dogs? One appeared to be following me and then he disappeared. Now he randomly pops up outside Whiterun barking like mad but I can't click him to follow me or the like.

I really hope in any sequel they fix Dragon AI/difficulty. At level 47 they are extremely easy to kill. Oftentimes when they land my companion and Dremora Lord conjuration have already gotten it down to 50% health by the time I roll into the fight. And few things piss me off more than a dragon roaring and flying around us but refusing to land, which happens more often than not. Wimps.

I thought she is supposed to go to the Catacombs or something but I don't see her there.

If she's dead she won't be going anywhere, she'll be laying wherever she died

You need to look around the area where she died.
Whenever I finish a dragon fight in town I always look around to see who got killed.

Svens dead body is still sitting at the end of the Blacksmiths shop. Evertime I go to town they wonder what happened and gather around his dead body. One of the gaurds asked me "you, do you know what happned here" but I didnt have the option to say "sure, he was killed by a dragon like a month ago".

Will put it in spoilers just in case, but just so everyone knows, it is just how to get ShadowMere the all black horse with red eyes that is nearly indestructable.

Since Lydia is officially dead and gone I went on the hunt for a new companion. I found Illia who is a mage and much better fit for me since I play as a image as well. Lydia ws always getting hit with splash damage or my chain lightning. I do think the armor AI is rather amusing. If they don't have a helmet they wear the robes no matter what but if they have a helmet they automatically take off the robe no matter what. I found this out on accident when meaaing with the gear I gave her. Made some boots, bracers, helmet, necklace and ring of fortify magic but ran out of soul gems for armor so figured she would just wear the robes and other items. Instead she charges into battle in her underwear and helmet/boots/necklace. Not sure why that amuses me so much but I thought it was funny.

Tried to start my last Daedric quest and it is glitched. Talk about a big pain in the back side.

James

Good deal, thanks!

My fave companion is Aranea Ienith.
She's killer even before you buff her with weapons, armor, etc...

Aranea Ienith. Put in spoilers just for small details about theBlades

Do any of the houses have an Enchanting table in them? Right now I only own a house in Whiterun because I like having the smith right next door and there are 5 vendors nearby to sell my stuff to. I just hate having to go all the way up to Dragonsreach just to enchant my new armor and weapons.

The room in the college does.

James

Riften does

Actually all of the houses except Breezehome in Whiterun have enchanting tables

Well I'm playing as a power-hungry dark elf so Riften sounds like the perfect place for me to live anyways. Only downside is no smelter.

When will it end lord? When will it end? 129hrs and counting!!! STOP THE INSANITY!!!
