I just started over in Skyrim with a new character..
I murdered my husband because he was SO annoying,
Onl;y to find out I can't get married again. Hahaha.
At least I'm a Nightingale with this character

I was all ticked off because yesterday I completed a quest, and then I was like, "Sweet, let me get out of this dungeon and I'll save and go do real-life stuff." But before I got out of the dungeon, I got killed by an orc who was initially being nice to me until he decided to stab me in the face. So I lost half of my quest progress. Moral of the story? Save when you're done with the quest, not when you get out of the dungeon.

Ha, exactly!!! Just remember, always try to get in your workouts BEFORE you sit down for some Skyrim time .... otherwise, it's over for the evening!! :happy:

Yep, been there, done that and none too happy about it! I just wish they had a "quick save" option or something to speed up that save process just a tad ... but nevertheless, avoid the heartache and save frequently.

This is my plan...

What they said...

I have 130 hours playing one character, and he has only done 3 of the main missions.

Just FYI, I read an article in GI that said if you do complete the main story quests, you can still go back and do the side missions with no penalty. So there's no need to delay the main quests unless you just want to.

This is 100% correct. I originally delayed the civil war quest for fear I couldn't go into opposing cities. That turned out to not be true either.

if you play it on xbox you more than likely could do a stationary bike while playing. might make it seem more real?

Skyrim! So much fun.
I haven't played any since before Christmas and I really haven't played any games since starting the 30DS. Eventually I'll play more, but now I just don't want to sit at my desk that much.

nnylee

Prepare to just donate a billion hours to this.

Playing on the ps3

If I remember correctly & assuming you're on PC, isn't F5 the quicksave? Sorry, not a console gamer, so I can't help out with those :-)

I'm on a PS3 .... would be nice to have a quicksave option on the consoles, though!

Oh man! Dying to go downstairs and play right now!! I am finishing the "Blood On Ice" quest in Windhelm right now. Then who knows what quest I shall take on!

daybehavior

Fantastic game but so overwhelming Im afraid I'll never finish it. It's like I'm trying to get from point A to point B but stop and explore C in the middle. Then trying from C back to B, I end up in point E and so forth >_<

I hope they're not planning any expansions soon! Also I love playing on the PC, but I kinda feel cheap because I always end up crashing my horses and have to keep giving myself 5000 g LOL. And I gave myself unlimited inventory space too, not sure if people consider that cheap.

I don't care about horses. The last one I had got in my way when I was trying to kill a bandit so I accidentally set it on fire and it tried to kill me. The convenience of going a little faster does not make them worth the trouble or money.

I killed a dragon and ate his soul... how many calories do I log?

Dragon souls are negative calories. Go ahead and eat some horker stew.

You have no idea how many times that kind of thing happens to me. I wish the people who are supposed to be on my side would stay out of my way. Or wear hot pink armor or something so I could see them clearly. I killed my housecarl a few days ago and had to restart the mission because I missed her.

I've offed Lydia so many times it's ridiculous. 100 in archery and sneak make for a potent combination when you shoot the wrong people (or for that matter the right people).

I am going to have to start offing my horses. I had the one that you get from the Dark Brotherhood quest but ever since doing the Imperial Army Civil War quests I've been riding around on some horse that I don't own (Army issue maybe?) and that one sucks, he always walks away. The Dark brotherhood one would solo dragons for me and let me keep their souls which was nice of him.

I was doing a quest (can't remember what it was called) when I was helping this priest and going through some catacombs, and near the end of the mission he froze. Everything else was going, and I got all the way through the mission without him, and he's still just standing there casting fire at nothing. Since I had to "talk" to him to finish the mission, I was trying to get his attention, and nothing worked. So I punched him in the face, and he lit me on fire and started yelling at me, the jerk. At least he unfroze though. I had to go back to my last save. I didn't want to kill him.
