According to Steam I have so far put 55 hours into Skyrim & I'm pretty sure I have only finished the Mages Guild/College of Winterhold of all the major questlines.
I should really fix that, only I'm worried that I'll load up & be in the middle of some fucking huge dungeon, have no idea where the exit is & just give up. But I will go back to it at some point. |

College of Winterhold is such a good quest line. If your not too strict on your class I'd recommend the Companions though way, way better than the Fighters from Oblivion. Just generally love the game I reckon I've probably played over 100 hours, but I want to try and hit 200 on one character. And if your a mage you should have the clairvoyence spell which is pretty handy for getting out of confusing places. God this is so damn nerdy. |

Having wandered about Solitude I remember that I also finished the Civil War stuff, my Argonian being an important man in the Stormcloaks victory. I think the quest I started last night was for the Dark Brotherhood. Honestly, my quest log is just huge, full of things to do. That game is total madness isn't it?
I love a modern video game that is single player & can be played for more than 6 hours. |

Oh & I need to find some blood from all the different -mer races. So far just got the altmer after killing a necromancer. It's for one of the daedric princes, Hermaeus Mora. I really love the stuff around the Daedra, the Shivering Isles stuff all centering around Sheogorath.
Honestly, I really kinda love the lore of TES games |

I love a modern video game that is single player & can be played for more than 6 hours. Fuck the Stormcloaks. Empire all the way! Must say though I was a little bit dissapointed with the Stormcloaks. I mean I get the fact that they're all a little bit racist (is that the right term?) gives them a bit of an 'edge' like the Imperials giving up Talos worship, but I thought it was little bit over done? Ended up with me hating the people I was fighting alongside for being such dicks and only doing it for the cause. (Big spoiler if your a Stormcloak lover or haven't done the game.)
... which I later found out was totally void because Ulfric was a Thalmor agent. Prick.
So excited for the DLC though I think it's going to be amazing. |

Hah, hadn't heard that about Ulfric. Makes sense though from a certain perspective. Classic divide & conquer.
My reason for supporting the Stormcloaks was more about just the way I went from the start, dude I ran away at the beginning with told me to go meet up with Ulfric. I thought the racism stuff was really overstated by a lot of people who played the game, my dude was an Argonian, & while he got shit from some people, there was very little ill will. They didn't like the dunmer because there were loads of them refugees but that's not really racism per se. And you can't blame them for wanting their godking Talos back
Plus Rome vs Vikings, I pick Vikings every time. Though I would like to see the imperial missions at one point. |

Just got Dagon's dagger. Pretty good weapon. I'm not sure which to use now, that or Malog Bal's mace. And I'm still rocking the Archmages robes. Plus bought the house in Solitude for 25k. Ouch. Basically all that money came from crafting & selling stuff. Ebony stuff mainly |

I keep my cool-but-not-really necessary weapons like the Wabbajack in Solitude. I still have no idea how to get a wife in this game. |

So, apparently I only played 42hrs of Skyrim. I think I am done. I am so goddamn bored by the whole thing at this point. None of the missions seem all that interesting, the weird little inconsistencies that have been around since Morrowind are still there (fight and kill a dragon, then one of the guards who fought the dragon at your side looks at this giant dragon skeleton and goes "I wonder where that came from?"). Just the way the characters animate, and stuff is so robotic and lifeless, and the combat is DULL - also, crazy difficulty spikes at times where suddenly one enemy is super powerful and kills you in one hit. And you know what, Bethesda, I think I'm probably done with your games for a while. I think I might also be done with Assassin's Creed 2. They want me to go kill 9 different lieutenants without being seen, and some of them are just too friggin' hard to pull off for me. I've decided, I really prefer shorter, less open-worldy games.

I put about 60 hours into Skyrim & have managed to complete 2 major questlines, the College & the Civil War. That was all in 2011 though. I've come back to it finally in the past fortnight, clocked up 5 more hours & I gotta admit, I'm loving it all again. I love this huge world where I can just
Also, what mission is that in AssCree2? Because I finished that game relatively quickly. It was pretty straight forward to me. Are you in Venice or Florence? Or in between? |

I think I'm back in Florence, seems like it's pretty near the end. The game wants me to go assassinate 9 dudes without being spotted. I got one, tried two others, messed them both up enough times for reasons I didn't think were really my fault, and became frustrated enough that I'm pretty much willing to give up the whole damn thing, watch the ending on youtube and call it done. |

Oh fuck, apparently that's the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC? If there's anyway I can skip it, I am fucking skipping it. In fact, if there's anyway I can skip every single thing in the game I haven't done yet and just get to the god damn ending, I'll do it, because I'm pretty much done with Assassin's Creed for a while. Burnt out. Edited by user 19 May 2012 00:19:46(UTC)
