Skyrim

^ the hand is backwards. :x

Muffle will level your Illusion like effing crazy. Just cast it everywhere you go and walk near mobs and it will do constant noise checks against it which in turn will increase your Illusion.

Soul Weapon, sheath, soul weapon, sheath, etc etc etc is also goof while running from A to B to help with conjuration.

Jump on the fire in the forge to tag yourself for a bit of health damage, cast heal. Profit. (Restoration only advances when you use it while injured)

Also, if you have a bounty in a city and end up going to prison to eliminate it then some of the progress towards the next skill level may be lost. No idea what the game mechanic is for that. I just wouldn't go to jail. :laughing
 
So I joined the Stormcloaks, but I think I'm going to roll back and reload, because I got to thinking that I'm playing as an Elf and the Stormcloaks are a bunch of racist nord assholes -- but they have no problem with me doing their dirty work and overthrowing towsns

I actually want to join the Imperials because they seem (and even look) much like the Romans, and all the other factions remind me of the Judean People's Front, or People's Front of Judea... Always complaining about what did the Romans ever do for us?!

The factions I find most interesting are the one's that disassociate from the political, like the Thieves Guild or the Circle of Companions... The Dark Brotherhood was a little too dark though, and I followed the quest line that wiped them out.
 
both the stormcloaks and imperials suck. stormcloaks seem the right choice at first when you are being executed among them by the imperials, and that they say they want to free skyrim. but ya they are hardcore racists.

while the imperials seem to be allied with the thalmer, who are the evil themselves.
 
Hah I'm playing as a wood elf, so joining the Stormcloaks didn't feel right because they're all Aryan nation and shit. But then I don't want to join the Imperials because they remind me too much of Caesar's Legion from Fallout; New Vegas.

I got the impression that the Imperials aren't really "allied" with the Thalmor, but that the Thalmor were on the verge of wiping out the Empire and so the Imperials capitulated and said, "Yeah, if you don't wipe us out, we'll renounce our God, and you can make it illegal to worship him.

I bump into Imperials all the time and they often mumble under their breath about the Holier-than-thou Thalmor, so the Imperials are definitely not "friends" of the Thalmor, but just enduring them as a necessary evil until they can figure something out. Everytime I run into Thalmor on the road with a prisoner, I wipe them out, stack their bodies up like cord wood and then free their prisoner.
 
i'm progressing so slowly. only level 36. :laughing

got my one handed up to 80, though, just from hack'n & slash'n.

i have 3 houses now but still use Whiterun as my stash pad because I've been to lazy to move everything to the Archmages Quarters which are seriously cool.

so i was popping in and out of vendors in Whiterun selling carp and randomly jumped in to the bar to see if she had a new quest for me. lo and behold some dude there thinks he can drink me under the table. pshaw, i say. eff that!

drink. drink. drink......

wtf?!$!#

yeah, and then i had to log and go to work. so pissed i got ruffied. i hope he used vaseline.....

that is true. the empire did fight back against the thalmor. and it did hint at the empire biding its time to strike back...

You get a cool staff from that questline IIRC...worth doing. Summons a Dremora to fight for you. I had the same reaction though...figured it'd be an easier version of the random boxing matches people challenge you to for an easy bit of gold, then...."WTF? Where the hell am I??? Shit, I was in the middle of a side-quest..."

FYI - takes a while though. LONG, multiple part quest chain.
 
I got bored of skyrim and I am playing witches 2, I suggest you guys give this game a try. It is sweet!!!

:laughing I'm only at 5. These RPG's kinda take over your life for awhile. I have holes in my memory in the early '90s thanks to being pulled into Shining Force 2 and Rings of Power on the Genesis. :p
