Skyrim Tales Thread- How is skyrim treating you ?

So much to do in this game and talk about, so I wanted to make a talk thread about the game. Just got the Daedric book Oghum Infinum. Learned how to use it more than once.

I've beaten the game 3 weeks ago and got all the achievements for it . . . I play it on Xbox 360 BTW . . . I'd say, it was simply Legendary if we're just talking about the core game itself . . .

But for the technical aspect, it was one of the most disappointing games, What I really hated about it is that, it freezes, ALOT, dunno if you guys experienced it but I experienced it about no less than 5 times, one time it froze on me twice a day . . . This was the only game I have on my 360 that actually freezes . . . Next thing I hate was the quest menu, I would have liked it much better if the quests could be arranged alphabetically or if the quests could be separated according to their divisions, like Dark Brotherhood quests, Side quests, Guild quests etc. I've beaten the game sure enough but I somehow feel that there are certain quests out there that I'm still missing and since there's no actual way to find out unless if I talk to every single person in the game which I think I already did, twice and I've cleared about every dungeon I could possibly find . . . I've clocked in at about 220 hours and I still think I'm missing out on something . . . and plenty of other little things like the countless bugs and glitches, absence of a mini map, camera's too close when my weapon is sheathed etc.

Now for the good part, it's simply eveything about the game that isn't concerned with the technical aspect . . . The quests, the levelling, the armor, the exploring, the dungeons, the absolutely EVERYTHING . . . As far as I could recall there was not a single moment of the game wherein I felt bored . . . Well maybe during the start when I had to watch a really long cutscene and escape Helgen, but that was like 45 minutes to 1 hour of linearity followed by 219 hours of pure awesomeness . . . I also really love the armor customization where-in you can make it really strong if you level-up your alchemy and enchanting to its max, after all the levelling I did I managed to get the best possible armor and I even renamed all my gear like "Daedric Helmet of Ultimate Bad-Assery" which was pretty much at its peak . . . All in all I have like 1700+ armor rating and yes I know that the armor cap is at 569 or something, 1150+ Attack, 84% resistance to all elements, 23% resistance to magic, 29% health regen, 650+ health and 350+ magicka . . . I kinda made some slight mistakes with my build cause I'm a fullfledged warrior dual handed mace but I was ted some points on my Magicka . . .

Skyrim was almost perfect if not for the technical issues . . . I've never played any other game for like 8 hours straight, the best was like 3 hours, this was one of the few games that I really wished would never end . . . It's my absolute without a doubt favorite game this gaming generation and Bethesda just earned one more fan because of their awesome games . . . I'd love to play through it again but I thought I'd give Fallout New Vegas a try and sure enough it was also a **** of fun . . .

Actually yes it freezed on me alot the 1st freeze I experienced was like 40 hours into the game . . . and also I did here that the PS3 version is somehow worse they have certain bugs that I personally never encountered on the 360 like dragons flying backwards or your horse suddenly dying when you fast travel . . . anyways aside from game freezes there aren't really other game breaking bugs in the game . . . I still highly recommend that you buy it . . .

Oh BTW I forgot to add I searched about the freezing thing on the 360 like 2 months ago and I haven't heard of alot of people playing Skyrim on the 360 experiencing game freezes . . . Maybe it's my copy that has a problem but who knows . . .

Ye that camera thing that was mentioned is a bit annoying.the fact its so close when the weapon is sheathed but other than that its unreal i think. my favourite game anyhow..
how canyou get your attack up that high?by putting enchanments on your sword?

and its hardly unplayable on the ps3. mine is on that and i havent had any freezes yet at all.i suppose it could just be my experience that its not freezing but i doubt it

for the attack . . . Dual wield daedric maces with one handed on 100 with all the ncessary perks and smithing on 100 and get 4 pieces of equipment with 29% smithing each which is only possible through enchantment whicvh also needs to be at 100 along with the necessary perks and you will also need a smithing potion with over 131% smithing boost which you can make through alchemy which also needs to be at 100 with the necessary perks while wearing 4 pieces of equipment with 29% potion boost . . . that's for the smithing upgrade . . . next enchant 47% one handed on 4 equipments withe again you'll need to have 100 enchantment with necessary perks and a 32% enchantment potion which you can make again through alchemy . . . now with all that you'll hit around 1150+ damage . . . just to give you an idea of how strong you will be . . . you can kill a dragon in 4 hits in master difficulty and every other opponent dies in one power attack . . . It does make the game much easier and unless intended you will never die . . . I don't even bring a follower with me because they die instantly if I hit them accidentally which makes them almost useless . . . Some say it ruins the experience but not for me, I got even more addicted to the game when I became that strong, it just made me feel like a GOD!!!

That Elder Scrolls, what a series. :)
