Skyrim?

My wife got it for me for Christmas, too. Fantastic game. The only things I've had trouble with so far are:

- Lydia occasionally gets stuck and doesnt respond well after I use the console code to bring her back to me.

- there's nothing to help in targeting to figure out if the person walking down to you is friendly or enemy. I've had weapons drawn and not fired until enemies are right on me several times.

- I found a strange side quest in which a guy claims to have been attacked by brigands, and you escort him back to him camp. He then turns on you and his 4 buddies try to whomp you and you're supposed to kill them all. Well, they killed me. So I went back and killed the guy before he got to his camp and the quest doesn't progress. I have no idea where I actually was (autosaved right before the quest) so I can't even back it up to try again... I wish there was a warning on killing mobs that will break quest lines.
 
Received Skyrim for Christmas from my wife.

Installed it on my laptop so I could play at work. About the time I finally got out of the tower, I touched the desktop where my graphics card was blowing it's exhaust.

So after I sprayed down the 2nd degree burn on my hand...


It's a great game so far but I'm not gonna be able to play it on the laptop.

Two questions:
  1. Where do you work that they let you play Skyrim on the job?
  2. Are they hiring? :p
 
I have just about the perfect job. I work seven 12 hour days (7am-7pm) then I get 7 days off. I then flip and work seven 12 hour nights (7pm - 7am) and get 7 days off after that.

I sit in a control room most of the night monitoring pipeline pressures and flow rates as we supply Jet fuel to the airport. I also make rounds on the tank farm and run quality control tests on fuel samples.

During the day while people are here, my gaming is somewhat frowned upon. Not completely but somewhat. At night when I am the only one here. I can do whatever I like. I've changed the alternator in my car, detailed my wife's car, wrapped Christmas gifts and died a little inside with every passing Chicago Bears game this season. As long as I get my testing done, make sure we have no accidents, leaks or spills and am generally awake and available for whatever, I am free to do what I like. This is part of the reason I've been so busy in trade servers on TF2 the past couple months.

There are some filters to the internet but not a much as some places.

My location is hiring for a maintenance technician position. Different work schedule but still pretty awesome place to work.
 
I have been playing this game so much since I got it. It may be one of my most favorite games ever and I sort of just started. Haven't done much of the main quest yet. Been mostly focusing on side missions to raise my skill and get some gold to buy that house in Whiterun. Last I played, I had just joined the companions.
 
I began playing it a couple days ago. I'm level 5 and playing a Khajiit. Knowing it's made by Bethesda, it really reminds me of Fallout: New Vegas with the rpg system.

I've been out exploring and doing side quests too still trying to get a feel for the Khajiit race.
 
sooo...... i basically have a friend die every 3-4 levels or so... is there a way to help ensure they dont die? because I load em up with jun... i mean treasure to sell and then they die and im stuck carrying it all back,,,,?
 
I'm level 11. Just bought my house and I'm still exploring and stuff. I don't use companions. They always seem to get in the way. I'd love to have a way to carry more stuff but it's not worth the hassle. I'm having trouble selling the junk I collect now.


Is it wrong I cleaned my house out and sold everything after furnishing it?
 
not sure you made your money back on the stuff that you furnished it with .....
 
yeh, but you get ...what, 4? 5? chests/drawers/etc... so you can easily sort all the items you obtain into different containers. That alone makes it worth it.
 
I didn't but my ocd made me want to clean up and organize everything and all that clutter lying around was driving me nuts.


How do I make it so the merchants have more gold? And do perks have a special key associated with them that I need to press like older games? I never seem to use any stamina when I'm fighting even tho I have several perks that should use it.
