Watch out for that sneaky archer on the edge of the lake.
No imo, they aren't as cool and probably smell quite bad!

Yup. It's the 'purer' choice for the storyline. Imperial scum FTL.

I'm going to wait till it gets cold again and get the dlc stuff and finish off my quest! Not really a 'summer game' imo
What. The. F*ck.

There's little to no point in that AT all.
Flol, Skyrim gets a Sims makeover, next you'll be reading the paper to become a slacker.

It's not a full DLC by the way. Just a bonus.
I quite like the look of it.

So basically, you complete the game, killing dragons and s**t, then retire to building houses, adopting kids and cooking pies?

Pretty much!
...until the next proper DLC.

I'd probably play that more than the first dlc to be fair!

I've started Dawn Guard but it's a bit samey. No surprise though, you forget when Skyrim actually came out - it's lasted a long time on my playing list!

Awesome!
I've needed a reason to add to my Skyrim save file.

That's the sole issue I have with the game, though. You focus on trying to be a specific class and after 50+ hours or so, you end up being very good at several skills and good at another dozen. Skyrim doesn't allow you to become a phenomenal archer, with maybe a healing skill on the side, for example. Even bumping into things like boxes and crates inadvertently increases your light or heavy armour skill as you get to protect your body from 'harm'.
A lot of players love the generic one-man-army approach to Skyrim characters. For me personally, I find it to be a failing in the game's mechanics and one that dilutes the Skyrim experience as a whole. Perhaps the main reason why I've never completed it.

I think it gives too much option. As you said Darren, there's no single specific style to play as but really what you prefer to excel in. The trouble is when I'm playing the game, I'm constantly thinking 'I wish I chose to be more of an Archer, or mage, or hand to hand etc...' and if there was just one solid route players would feel they'd be missing out on the other characteristics of the game.
Such a direction could work but maybe if rather than playing as a single character, build a group of around 3 characters?

Agreed. Although the main failing for me of this game is lack of story and interesting characters. After many hours of gameplay you have a super powerful character but no interest in using them to drive the story narrative forward, as most likely you have forgotten what's happening and none of your choices really matter. Kill someone and it doesn't matter, don't kill them and it doesn't matter.
I have never gone from loving a game so much to feeling so much apathy, and it makes me a bit sick thinking about it all now. So much time wasted...although the first 20-30 hours were cracking. Stupid things like crafting you can have all the best armor and weapons so early on and then have nothing else left to discover in that avenue.

Same here. I thought Fallout 3 was the benchmark initially, but Skyrim blew it clean away. Then it all started to go a bit south for me around the 50hours mark. The initial stages where you had a steep climb in terms of gaining experience and skills were by far the most rewarding from a playing experience.

To be fair to the game - 30 hours of "cracking" gameplay is hardly a complete waste of money. £1/hr? It's not bad value.
I agree with much of the criticism thrown at Skyrim and to be honest after putting it down a few months ago I've not been the slightest bit interested in picking it up again. But I threw about 100 hours into that game and for those 100 hours it was an absolute blast. Superb game. Flawed for sure but still an absolute hoot and unsurpassed in it's genre.

Yeah I was a nord. One save file all the way through. Level 73 I think I got to, 200+ hours easy.
All achievements and 1000/1000 gamerscore. Was a superb game but as said, once you start to get to a certain level, you rollin', they hatin', TBH. No one can really touch you. Think my bow had a damage rating of over a 1000 or so, which was mental. I could take out a giant by just pulling the string back.

Ha, awesome. I'm rolling with the imperial bow, pretty crap. Got chased by a mammoth and 2 giants last night, before I knew it, looked at the clock and over an hour had passed trying to kill them
Also forgot how annoying and tricky the falmer mission is, near the start. Have to go into a cave to kill their leader. Got killed by the first falmer. Lol

You can get an ebony bow pretty early on from a Deathlord in Lost Valkygg. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Lost_Valkygg. Found it really useful with fire enchantment. Thing is you have to defeat the Deathlord first and being low level it's pretty hard even if you ramp down the difficulty level.
I envy those that have just started this, wish you could wipe your brain like a memory card so you could forget what happens in games.
