If you hated Oblivion you will hate this, same with me on MW3 or BF3, see the hype and get drawn in with everyone saying how great it is then bam I play and hate it again, so tell us why you hated Oblivion and we will tell you if this is the same but I'm guessing you won't enjoy this, o the guide will make it worse, lol

Not sure if still like. Getting a bit pissed at some of the quests which basically let you get twenty miles into an underground dungeon with relative ease, and then pit you up against Gandalf right at the end, whom I have no hope of defeating. It's breaking the flow for me. Do I backtrack out of the dungeon and return at a later time when I have more skills & power (hoping that the state of that quest & its enemies remains intact) or load an earlier save and try something else?
Not very good at these types of games
I'm not either TBH, but I stick it out and just try different things to beat the guardian at the end. The sense of achievement is great and when you exit back into the open world it feels good.
Having a companion definitely helps at times, if just to take away the focus on you. Keep saving, even during the battles and mix magic with combat and your shouts or powers.
If you're up against a Mage or spell bound opponent, sparks/electricity works well at draining their magicka. Stay hidden so they are firing at Walls or obstructions. They'll lose their powers and you can go in for the kill. The Relentless Voice shout is also very good against any enemy as it will stagger them allowing you to get a good few blows or spells in early. Once they lose life in this state, save and gather your bearings ready for another go at them.

This may take a while to finish, TBH.
Also, the first few hours are a little bit boring when you consider the scope of what you're getting yourself into as the days go by.

Yeah I know, Fallout took me about 6 months lol. It's just the whole world of it that I don't want to eventually get bored with if you know where I'm coming from?
Fallout 3 was slow to start but that's the whole experience. There are people that don't get these games and give up after a couple of hours because they can't pick up an M16 and shoot everyone. I don't get that. Blinkered.

Even Cookie is enjoying Skyrim, without VATS. That says a lot.

LOL Yea! I did this one yesterday. Encountered my first trolls too. I tried skirting round them. My lady companion decided she was going to attack one. She didn't do very well.

Level 13 now and have only just released that holding down the Shout key longer, makes the Shout more efffective.
Started to outfit Lydia with some kit. Is there anyway that you can dictate what she uses? She automatically seems to equip the most potent piece of equipment that you give her. But that's not always the best given certain circumstances....

Loving the fire breath shout, seams to be the most effective

ok, level 34 and have got full Daedric Armour with a Daedric Sword, amazing.
Nightingale quest....
Absolutely amazing! Which Agent did you chose at the end? I went for the Stealth one, seams pretty cool. Completely invisible for 120 seconds when sneaking, can only use it once a day though. The quest itself was awesome, really atmospheric when you walk into that huge dark room and the lights burn you. Was 'effin brilliant
Seen a video on that sword, make sure you get it on a grinding table! Make's it a legendary Daedric Sword dishing out 50 damage

I've only just started and seem to have pissed a bloke called Hog off in the first village by killing a chicken. I killed him and threw him in the river so now the whole village is after me. This was at night too so not sure how anyone saw me. Is it the same as Oblivion where you go and pay a fine or go to prison?

She is, shes upstairs in the Inn around the corner to your right when you get to the top of the stairs just sitting at a table on the landing area. It puts an arrow marker ontop of her head as i had the same issue and wouldnt have turned like 360 to spot her if it wasnt for the tracker arrow.

So, just getting the hang of Enchanting items now.
I have 2 black soul gems (Grand) which offer maximum enchantment reward when combined with items.
I've a lot of weapons and apparel with magical attributes so set off dis-enchanting the ones I'd never use so I could learn the magicka and use it on other items.
I had a crown which gave 15% more damage with bows but obviously wearing that offered little protection to my noggin, so I disenchanted it to learn the magic, then used a black soul gem on a silver ring which I could always wear and enchanted it with the learned magicka (15% damage with bows). If I had used a petty soul gem or lesser gem the % went down a lot. Like I say, the black soul gem gives you the maximum reward.
I really want to build my Smithing level up now along with the perks (I'm at 57 currently) so I can craft an awesome Bow and then enchant it. I'm using Archery a lot more now. It's brilliant, especially with my Sneak level being so high and the perks I've got associated with it. Simply go into sneak mode and I can one hit kill through sneak bonus while not being seen.

I've been off work 2 days so got a lot of play time in. But other than that, I wait until the missus goes to bed at about 8ish and then get on it. Got to 11:45pm last night and she's there at the top of the stairs moaning, "Are you coming to bed or what?" So I went up and she says, "That game is taking the piss."
Yes. Yes it is.

LOL!
I have a 10pm switch off time, PC and whatever else I'm doing gets turned off and I go and read in bed for an hour
Means I'm dreaming less about wizards and more about Jack Reacher kicking people's faces in
Nothing at the mo :(
Bed at 8pm. So early that lol

Think I'm around 22 hours or so.
FYI for those that don't know. This will probably only affect PC users. When you 'pause' the game, although the onscreen action stops, the game clock continues to tick. If like me, you often leave your PC running overnight or even longer, you'll rack up loads of false hours if you leave the game paused. Mine went from 19 hours to 45 hours between play sessions, so I decided it best to revert back to the previous save in order to not skew my stats.

Did the nettlebane dagger quest last night. F*cking awesome game!

LOL. You're probably not far behind me already... Maybe I should take a month off work or something
It's part of the save information when you cursor onto a save or load game. There might be another way but I didn't see it.

Loads of maths in this game, lol, I don't sneak so no puffy dagger for me, big Sword and big Amour, wade in and hit them hard but those stats suggest that thief and sneak look very powerful.
