I've had lagging ot the O Menu all along on occasion.This is kind of where I am....'-arcK- said:I am level 22 (not sure how many hours played, but have been doing mostly side quests and not very far into the main quest yet) and I have noticed my PS3 does pause/lag sometimes...usually when I am opening the menu to change items in the middle of a fight. Annoying but not a deal breaker so far. :crossingfingers&toes:
'Worm said:Main quest, 1st dragon encounter:
So I kill the first dragon at the tower. Get my 1st shout (which I generally forget about during gameplay). Go back to talk to the Jarl, and his assistant is giving me sass about 'how can we believe that this guy is really a dragonborn?'. So, naturally, I figure that's my prompt to shout in his face. Unfortunately that was not the correct course of action and about 10 dudes attack and kill me instantly.
I had a random guard come up to me and tell me to stop all the shouting, said I was freaking people out. I said ok. Then when he turned around I shouted him into next week.It was like setting a Riverwood chicken on fire. The whole village lost it and attacked. 
See, while I try to be thorough, I also don't mind not turning over every leaf. That just leaves more fun for the second time through (whenever that may be).'AcerFC said:That's me. I'm so concerned I'll miss something big, I scan the room 2-3 times just to make sure'Worm said:Believe me, I am too. I have a bunch of hours played, but am only level 7ish. I explore every table, cabinet, wardrobe, etc. filled with items, pick flowers and herbs that are growing randomly, look at random things, etc.'JerseyToughGuys said:I am playing this game at a snail's pace. Seems I have a touch of Skyrim ADD.
Check out illusion magic. There's some good spells for this build.At level 20 I think right now with my Breton Assassin/Archer. Haven't really touched any big quests, killed the first dragon etc but right now I am making my way to Riften. Starting off from Windhelm, Riften is a hike. All my perks have gone into sneak, archery and some one handed so far. At level 90 sneak, 40/40 on archery/one-handed. I have some problems with dragons because it takes a while to kill them with a bow so far and I can't sneak up on them. Other than that most enemies are cake if I can sneak up behind them. Leveled up in smithing to like 45 ish but haven't perked it yet. I have a few perks saved up until I figure out where I want to put them.

However, the main reason to go to HDMI is to upgrade the audio portion IMO. 1080i run on HDMI is supposed to be better than 720p on component. I believe 1080i on component is not advised and perhaps not supported. (Again, this is serious videophiles talking, not my opinion)'IvanKaramazov said:'GroveDiesel said:I think component and HDMI pictures are both up to 1080p so I don't think it should make a difference picture-wise really. HDMI is just nice because it can handle both the video and audio in one cable.'JerseyToughGuys said:I am still running an original Xbox 360 w/o an HDMII ran component for a couple of years, and couldn't tell any difference when I switched over to HDMI. Visually, it's the same thing.
Yes - in fact, this seems to be one of the more common builds - it's mine a matter of fact.
Pretty much. have fun and enjoy. Im completely new myself so PM me if you have any questions. Im learning as I go

Major
I find myself not using a whole lot of the spell repertoire available. The necromancy spells take too long to take effect. The illusion spells (at least low level) don't seem to do a whole lot. Alteration is utilitarian, but I haven't seen a need to invest in that much. The destruction spells see almost all my usage.Maybe this is why I have like 5 perks unused at this point - I can't figure out what my guy is gonna be when he grows up.Check out illusion magic.

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I really do not enjoy multiplayer games. Thrilled that this is a single player series. Please keep it that way, Bethesda.'Worm said:
I'm with you on this one.
I think I just got that spell. I'm gonna give that a whirl tonight. After I do surgery on my PS3 tonight (fingers crossed). My HD is going bad and I need to replace.I love conjuring my flaming torch.

Does your wife often get pissed over things that don't affect her in the slightest and are none of her business?
Not too often but she hates when kids get "stupid" names. I guess that's her only time
That's awesome. I've discovered you can surf down huge waterfalls even without this trick if you are careful as well.Another Skyrim Example of Thinking Outside the Box
So you found the "Become Ethereal" shout. You cannot be harmed or harm someone. And you think, ok this might be useful if I get rushed by a mob....then you forget all about it.
But wait! There's other uses! Ever been on top of a real high mountain or cliff and didn't want to walk all the way back down?
Become Ethereal and enjoy Skyrim Base Jumping!
It's come in real handy for a few Thieve's Guild missions. I've jumped off towers, mountains, waterfalls. Loads of fun and way easier than fighting 10+ guys.That's awesome.

Is the quest after getting that armor the last one? It seems like a climax, and so I'm scared to start the quest. I anticipate getting p0wn3d.
Use it just like a shout.
I just want to express what a pain in the ### the boss in the Staff of the Magus quest for the Mages' Guild is. Even with Lydia by my side I can't get him below abou 65% health before he fries my ###.
He worked me over several times when I fought him up close. Finally I went to the top and fought him from where the mage guys imprisoning him are. He never did come up to get me. I did put down a rune along the way up there so that may have kept him out, or he might now be that smart. From up top, it was basically an extended game of stick my head out shoot, repeat, heal, shoot, etc. He does have a sweet piece of gear that makes it worth while as well. Also, this advice is all probably useless if you aren't playing someone that has good ranged abilities...
