Are many people sharing this view? I've never played any of the previous games, but it has my interest now. Would I be able to pick this up and play ok provided I haven't played them before? I've a PS3 and PC (Q6600 2.4, 4GB, 8800GT).

So far, yes. It's god-damn brilliant. I'd get it on PC, your PC is more than capable for it. I've not played the PS3 version but the 360 version I'm also quite impressed, bar the downgrading of the graphics after HD install.

Yeah I have the same view, best game I've played in years. It's the first time in ages that I feel excited even starting the game up. Every time you play it, for 10 mins or 10 hours there's always something to do. I played for 2 hours this morning and all I did was craft armour and weapons.

It's just the sort of game you could play for months.

I was like a giddy little school girl the week of 11.11.11!! was so excited I couldnt wait!!

Worst part was I had to go to work 11.11.11 so I picked it up that morning and it was burning a whole in my bad the whole day!! dont think I have ever walked to fast home in my life.. stopped to pick up some junk food, pizza n coke to settle in for the night!!

I've never ever been like that about a game release before.. never!!

My character is Jaime Lannister from the Song of Ice and Fire novels. He's a heavy armor clad, destruction spell using warrior armed with sword and shield, with a big two handed Greatsword on standby for tougher enemies:)

I called mine Madmartigan :pac:

I think you need really high smithing possibly maxed smithing and then a perk for creating dragon armour.

Someone else will confirm that no doubt, I am only at 80 smithing at the mo.

Stupid question but where or how can I get it? I don't play with magic very much.

That smug mage advisor in whiterun should sell it

the one who sends you off to get the dragon tablet in bleak falls barrow

I find as you get more levels, more spells become available for purchase (as implied by them when they say '... spells and incantations for those will the skill to use them', now I think about it )

Stick and move! You need to circle and dodge, make them miss strikes and the land 2 or 3 yourself before they swing again. I haven't fought one brawl yet where the opponent has done the slightest bit of damage to me. Where is this guy out of interest?

He's in markarth. There' literally no way id be able to beat him, i do a smidgen of damage per punch, it would take at least 5 minutes, and thats without me losing first.

Whats the specs for it?? Armor, weight value?

Thats sweet!! so gonna have to try that... had to be a 1 in million chance but still!! Seriously aint even seen a hawk myself yet!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

it takes longer than 5 minutes, and be careful you dont punch a bystander or the guards come after you. pain in the ass.

****ing hated the brawls until I got my heavy armour perks up, now they just punch away at me and tdont do any damage so i take the time to make a cup of tea

Depends on what heavy armour perks you have, i have the well fitted perk and two perks invested in Juggernaut and am getting an armour rating of 380.

hahaha! thats colossal!

Apparently its not as strong as the Daedric armor thou.. It harder to craft in terms of materials..

you can get like 450/480 with daedra or more, not sure!
you can also enchant things so much that you dont lose mana or life ever...

DarkJager

Anybody know what the levels for smithing are? My stuff is exquisite but I've seen somewhere it can go to legendary?

thats were things can start to become a bit boring thou tbh.. If your practically invincible then it is fun but the challenge is taken away!

The Daedric armor is stronger and heavier but it is harder to craft coz you need deadric hearts amongst other things to create it..

I found a Nirnroot farm!
