Sneak overpowered? Meh.

How bout an Orc with a 100 in smithing, conjuration, heavy armor, and one-handed?
A tank like that with full legendary Daedric Armor is tough to kill, as is the two storm Atronachs I can summon at once!

sneak friendly classes but maybe redguard overall.

Its a pity the max armour rating makes any armour more advanced than ebony pretty redundant.

On which difficulty do you play? I assure you; playing it on master isn't easy.

**Centurion1** · 12-25-2011, 23:07

adept difficult enough for me so far,

annoyed right now.
big glitch lost an hours worth of gameplay because in the way of the voice ive encountered a game breaker. cannot get master einkrah (spelling is off sorry) to teach me the second word the symbol just sits on the ground. DAMN

Edit; and then i kid you not i turned back to the game after typing this and it immediately froze on me.

When you're playing I think it's a good idea to save often and have multiple saves in case you get a bug like that or you encounter an unbeatable enemy you can't run away from.

**Centurion1** · 12-26-2011, 08:36

yeah i try to sleep after every fight and save relatively often but sometimes you just get caught up in the game

And if you're sick, the people will say "You look sick." Sometimes that's the only indication, until the effects start showing up as the disease progresses.

There's a ton of stuff to love about this game. I especially like the Radiant Quest system. It's perhaps the most seemless and enjoyable RPG experience i've had in a long while.

its true about role play. i am playing a two handed nord and it just feels so..... right.

also as an aside easily the best main quest in any elder scrolls game so far (just got horn of jurgen)

Edit2: seriously though the glitches and bugs are horrible in the 360 version. yet again unable to complete the quest to learnt he final word of unrelenting force. this time the dragon writing doesnt even show up when he says it on the ground and it just sort of ends; luckily i have saves available.

It's the not knowing whether or not each loading screen is going to crash the game that's killing me. Shoulda spent the extra money on an Xbox 360 with a harddrive, so I could install it and see if that fixes it a bit.

The HDD ability to install games makes it well worth the cash outlay. I bought it separately for my 360 2.0 and have not regrets. My Skyrim game does hang a bit on loading, but has yet to lock-up.

That said, this game is amazing. After trying a few characters just to get the hang of it, I finally settled on a Redgaurd Fighter-Mage guy. I'm now level 13, and I've got a badass suit of enchanted Elven Armor. Also, the Mage College quest line is fantastic--absolutely worth checking out, even if you don't like the Magic aspect. In fact, the whole story feels very Wheel of Time-ish, and I like it.

Also, Bound Blades are awesome if you get the Perks.. especially if mixed with some magic, dual wielding, and one-handed perks.

I haven't done anything but the main quest (and 1 side quest) yet. I'm gonna break off when I get the Dragonrend shout. Then I can deal with random dragon encounters better.
