There are reports that they are studying Skyrim's sand box nature.
did you build your daedric armor?

I didn't MH, I didn't really like the look. I forged 2 daedric swords and dual wielding them though. I wear the Nightingale armor...

Couldnt agree more, fantastic game when you first start and exploring the world but then you get to that stage where it just become Groundhog day. Definately not as good as Dragon age though that game could learn a lot from scope of this one. Oh well 12 days until Diablo 3 come out and see if long wait has been worth it

My first one was commodore 64, is that after or before vc 20? Anyway, that commodore 64 started me on a long journey with pc games... I still remember when you execute the game, it always say "Press play on tape"...

Anyway I decided to start on a new skyrim character, she's gonna be an archer with a bit of conjuration spells. Playing at expert and it seems to be more realistic. My previous dual wield Nord was so powerful I think I killed alduin with 4 power attacks. Bam bam bam bam and he was death. I was like WTF??

So I have played Skyrim to death and have beefed my character up to the point she can knock out a dragon with one punch !!
Also, did anyone who has played this know that unarmed fighting has its own kill moves?

Started a new Skyrim game a couple of days ago. Focussed totally on enchanting and smithing before doing anything. It's awesome. My thinking on doing this was simple. By the time you naturally get your smithing and enchanting up to have the best armor and weapons (Sorry MH but for me it's Guild Master Armor with multiple enchantments, not Deadric) you've just about finished everything worthwhile. So I decided to go this route to have more fun with my cool toys. Oh and this time around I've done "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood", just for a different twist (and not to have to hear the spooky as hell "Nightmother")
