In Topic: Skyrim Anybody??

02 January 2012 - 09:04 AM

I still play. 80 hours in and I still feel like I haven't done anything. I'm a level 72 Nord werewolf melee user. Yeah I have (as well as others most likely) killed a lot of dragons, but just when I need them to unlock shouts I can't find them anywhere lol.

My guy is named Ragnar, after Ragnar Lodbrok (He's a (if not the most) legendary Viking in real life) :3

It's quite a transition from Oblivion 'cause It feels like so much has changed, even the controls feel a bit different, but once you start playing more you get used to it.

You're actually doing the right thing if you're just running around getting lost - the game is all about exploration. If you get lost, just go with it. The quest markers will always be there in case you need them. Otherwise my advice would be to just pick a direction and go forward. You'll always find something.

In Topic: Facesets for the standard heroes?

The site you are looking for is http://fayforest.sak...ai/english.html

EDIT: Hmm, it looks like the site's down, too...

I do have the faces saved for my own (I don't have any face 'sets', or different expressions for the same face, just one pic for each face). If I'm able to maybe I can email them in an attachment for you?

Or better yet, am I able to put these in the resource section for the site? The original site is down and it should be fine as long as I give original credit, right?

In Topic: A Skyrim Faction Over-analyzation

In Skyrim's case, I felt that way when I finally decided to actually DO the main quests, and by then I was level 52, but that wasn't what made me feel less accomplished. since I play Elder Scrolls games for exploration and not difficulty. It's just that some of the quests for the Stormcloaks were involved, then it just turned into "take this fort after fighting a couple waves of Imperials." A funny thing I found was after putting the Stormcloaks in control, in the lower level of the Blue Palace in Solitude every Jarl that supported the Imperials are down there, and when you walk down there you get an immediate death glare from all of them. lol.

It's weird, though. The Dragonborn and Civil War questlines felt the longest to me. There were only like 6-7 quests for the Companions and College of Winterhold, compared to say Oblivion where the Guilds had enough lengthy quests to be a standalone game (The Mage Guild Recommendation part was ridiculous lol). The Faction quests were really interesting and involved, though, Quality over quantity I'm guessing, lol.

Not that it's a detriment to my experience in Skyrim in any way, but it was just something I noticed. I still have the Bard's College, Dark Brotherhood and Thieve's Guild to do...and some of the non-marked side-quests have quite a bit of depth to them. Have you heard of Red Eagle? Or the history of Dragonsreach? I actually fought Olaf One-Eye 'cause apparently I walked right into his tomb while exploring.

True, that and these days you got these kids whose first consoles were the Xbox 360, Ps3 and/or Wii and probably haven't heard of any of the older ones, consoles or games. Hell, I know someone who plays Skyrim but never knew there were any older Elder Scrolls games.

I felt that it kind of ended too quickly and abruptly. Maybe one of the 'grand' dlc packs will have an aftermath questline unlocked after finishing the civil war questline, just to tie up loose ends and maybe actually drive out the Thalmor, kind of like Fallout 3's Broken Steel.
