Man, I am loving Metal Gear Skyrim the Thieve's Guild! It's so incredibly profitable and fun!

Adding +Stamina Steal to a weapon when using lots of power-attacks = Good idea.


I should look into that. My damage is entirely based on 1H and shield bashing uses up a lot of stamina; my gear is enchanted with so much +stamina regen it's ridiculous.

I don't know why I read this thread. Takes a lot of willpower not to buy this game until after finals. I've even held a copy in my hands and put it down. Gonna be a good day when I get this.

Quick! Edit your post! The spoiler tag didn't work, and now I know the awful truth. I always do the Dark Brotherhood quests last. Still workin on the Thieves guild and will probably hit the Companions quests next. Or maybe the main quest; after 100+ hours of playtime I've barely even touched it XD

Dark Brotherhood quest line gives you the ability to multiply your sneak dagger attacks by THIRTY. Perks + sneak + DB gauntlets.

Even on master difficulty it only takes two of those to kill an Elder Dragon with 2 glass daggers.

Wish I could of saved that guy that was about to get his head chopped off, tried multiple times, to save him, even so it was the pointless attempts while not getting attacked by the whole city.

The only problem is that it eats up a lot of soul gems, so what I do is only charge my weapon up before a big-fight/dragon-fight. I don't need stamina-regen to kill Bandits and the like, but against a Dwarven Centurion or something I probably do need it.

I got Smithing up to 100. Daedric armour looks bad-ass but I need more Daedra hearts so that I can make the other pieces. Gah!
Bah....

I am now kinda sad that I spent money on this game. Don't get me wrong, it is everything I wished for, the world is awesome, the combat is great, level scaling is a huge improvement over Oblivion....

But the framerate issues on the PS3 are getting to the point where I don't want to play the game anymore, on my 25 hours save the framerate drops quite badly in certain dungeon types, and in normal wilderness too. Totally unplayable sometimes, taking all the enjoyment out of the game.

And this is also AFTER I installed the newest patch where Bethesda promised to solve the PS3 framerate issues. More and more people report that the issues are still there, the patch basically didn't do that much to the FPS, only a minor improvement, and only for a while.

I could forgive all of those other bugs (seriously, just read that link, some of them are quite BAD), even though they shouldn't be there in the first place, at least not those severe ones (I get it, it's a GIANT game, but still). As long as the game is smooth, it's fine for me. But how the hell can they get away with releasing this shitty software, for the PS3, that just either RUNS a game, or doesn't, in which case the game shouldn't be on that system in the first place....

Oh well, guess I have to wait a year or two till I can afford a decent PC to play it on, or hope that Bethesda actually releases a patch that will HELP, and soon for that matter.

...
Who am I kidding, I will try to struggle through, even at 5-10 FPS at times, I still love the game. But goddamnit am I pissed at Bethesda.

I sometimes get taken out the game suddenly out of nowhere for some reason back to desktop, without any error messages/sounds etc, because steam is being a bitch I suppose or using memory too much in the game.

Spoiler

Managed to complete dark brotherhood missions, Astrid dies and now I'm the leader and pretty doing random night for night mother

Spoiler ends.

Most of those bugs are on the PC version. Granted, I have not experienced even the tiniest FPS issue, but I'd be a rich man if I owned a septim for every random errorless crash to desktop.

Holy crap, I'm fighting Frost Dragons now. They're more ballsy than normal dragons!
Lucky you, I am only up to Blood dragons on my main save, hoping to find some new kinds soon. Then again I am only level 27, and did only a small part of the main quest.

But I once had to fight TWO blood dragons at the same time, mixed in with a pesky spriggan. Now that was a fight, I chugged down most of my plentiful healing potions that I've been saving, just to bring one of the dragons down.

I also met a dragon priest with my lvl 13 mage. Killed a dragon on top of a mountain, and I am like, "OMG, I am so badass, now let's go get the word from the wall. What's that, something is rising from the coffin. Probably some stupid Draugr or whate-"

3 fireballs later, I was dead. Had to retry quite a few times to bring the priest down, so much HP on that bastard, and he fired those fireballs like a machine gun. Also my flame atronach kept turning on me during the fight. The fact that the last patch bugged the fire resistance on the atronach (in other words, removed it) didn't help much.
Oh man I rented this and I feel like I will never escape. I am both glad and sad it is only a rental because I keep playing despite having other things to do! I am a huge derp and the current character I play reflects this painfully well. (I am having a huge blast just roleplaying and writing my own mental character arcs <3)

I keep finding myself doing incredibly stupid things. Like getting into situations where I'm running through the forests/mountains around Riverwood naked while being chased by a dragon and frost trolls and bandits, frantically trying to fast travel and god damn it was a huge mess, I ended up waiting it out in some ancient ruin punching skeevers to death. I just wanted to sell stuff!

I need to find somewhere to tell all my "man I got into mad shenanigans in Skyrim" stories.

Also debating whether or not to marry Mjoll the Lioness, if only because apparently Aerin will bug out and tag along, and as my dude is BFFs with Sanguine and a disciple of Mara I think a threesome is a good idea for him. But how long will the novelty of having a wife AND a husband last???

Frost dragons suck. I also had a period of time where it was nothing but blood dragons and the internet informs me I'm now leveled enough for even stronger ones to start popping up! OTL ...But my random encounter ones keep bugging out and refuse to aggro.

Hot damn! It's too bad I stabbed all the DB in the face! NEXT TIME, NEXT TIME. Current dude is way too much of a softie to be an assassin.

Yup. And then stripped them all naked and put their clothing on his fabulous manor mannequins. They did look like an interesting bunch, though! Definitely joining on my next run. Planning on making a sneaky sneak Khajit; Metal Gear Skyrim is my favorite Skyrim.

Speaking of stripping dead bodies, has everyone read this humorous tale about Lydia? XD
