That's the kind of thing I love about this game.

It's just a shame that I can't drag myself away from BF3 to spend more time playing it...

Did the 1000 gp bounty in the 9 holds last night, bit of fun i spose.

Kinda pointless in a gaming situation though - any decent thief wouldnt have a bounty like that.

Still love this game. Home life is taking up a lot of skyrim time though so slow going, plus i have levelled beyond my quests a bit too much which sucks. Having said that i still get insta killed from time to time by archers - bows kick ass in the hands of the AI. (i am playing a mage at level 41 with only 220 health and 100 stamina)

How do you do anything with only 100 stamina(Haven't played a Mage yet I know the spec is 80% Magicka, 20% health or something) but travelling must be a pain?

I'm a Mage, i'm not carrying anything. I pack a bow and a sword for fun, but i am always equipped with 2 spells (or 1 twice) other that i have no armour on (Master robes of destruction kick ass) some light boots and a helmet for magicka bonuses, oh and some gloves. My magicka at this level is already 440 with the racial bonus from being an elf. I am working towards being able to cast the Master destruction spells pretty much at will as my next challenge. Gonna take a bit of questing and some more levelling though. Its a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to seeing if i can finish the game with only 100 stamina (should be fine) plus whirlwind sprint helps.

It was a bit tough around the level 20 mark where the bad guys suddenly got harder though.

restoration healing restores stamina, as a perk - handy for a quick exit

So have seen my first backwards flying dragon, which was pretty cool.
Found the Storm Call shout, which is great.

Also been doing some of the Daedra quests, and apart from being a murdering, dream stealing cannibal, I can't really complain that much!

Just passed the 100 hour mark. Just finished the Main Markarth quest, didn't see it coming to be honest. Then I did the capture the Sunfort (I think that's what it's called) and Storm Call made very short work of them.

This game is just Epic. I've decided that I need to get some of my life back and so I've just started on the main storyline quests. I'm after some guys horn ( :shock: )

Sweet

My old man has clocked up 443 hours, according to Steam. I think he leaves it running while he goes away and does other stuff. But still. Jaysus.
