also, i was totally unprepared for the final guy in that dungeon and i basically just danced around the rivers and stones flinging fire at him until he fell to his knees at the foot of a waterfall and i ran forward and administered the final blow with my longsword while water fell around us. that was pretty epic.

i ran into a village of giants on my way to the location where you're supposed to talk to the greybeards (7000 stairs). thought i was doing well, and then some giant hit me and i flew hundreds of feet up in the air? i'm not sure if it was a glitch or not, but after 7-8 seconds into my ascent to the sun, it went back to the loading screen to restart me.

no, i think that is for real (not a glitch). it's been mentioned all over the interwebs.

next time i play i plan on taking the route on the OTHER side of the mountain!

the problem with these games for me is all the character customization - how am I supposed to CHOOSE

this one kinda lets you ease into it since you don't have to pick anything to start (except race)

the climb to the monastery is WOW

Just started this as a redguard called Claude. Are you all joining the imperial legion or the stormcloaks?
― sonderborg, Sunday, 13 November 2011 03:56 (twelve years ago) link
haven't started those quests yet, but planning on stormcloak, i suppose.

I was all set to side with the rebels (underdog radicals generally appeal to me) when I realized that they're basically nativists...

It is a testament to this game's awesomeness that I am irritated at having to turn it off and go to the bar for football. Fucking saints, why can't they have a bye this week?
Crunchy the nord relies mostly on war axes, FLAMETHROWER HAND and zombie raising.

i turned up the difficulty by one level. average fights are better now but dragons just destroy me.

also some of the npcs are bugged. I snuck into the alchemists shop and she kept welcoming me to buy things while she slept. I stole all her shit.

ive already decide im gonna play a pure caster for the first time

i'd love to try a pure caster but i just love archery too much
― Mordy, Sunday, 13 November 2011 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
this is pretty amazing so far; in the dungeon that mordy mentions i made that magic transition from playing a video game pushing a sprite around on a digital map to YOU ARE DEEP WITHIN THE BOWELS OF THE ANCIENT EARTH WHEN THE VIKING ZOMBIE PULLS ITSELF SLOWLY FROM ITS MOULDERING CRYPT, EYES AGLAZE WITH INFERNAL LIFE, JAW AGAPE WITH A HATEFUL SNEER, RUSHING TOWARD YOU SWORD OUTSTRETCHED roll for initiative

i just killed a solid hour reorganizing my inventory. you can micromanage the shit out of this game if you want to.
― Don't attack when he is black. (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 13 November 2011 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
and it's fun to micromanage btw! very good ui!
is there a way to change the order of items in the inventory? for example, can you lump all of your shields together, all of your boots together, etc?
― Z S, Sunday, 13 November 2011 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
it auto-orders your equipment into like weaponry / apparel / books / ingredients / scrolls / misc, but you can't reorder it by like boots or shields (at least not that i've seen so far)

Most of tonight's session was me going round the Jarl's house collecting all his goblets and plates and foodstuffs to sell back at the market. Turned out it wasn't really worth the effort. But the view from his balcony is lovely.

i was just doing that too. the whole soul gem/enchant thing seems annoyingly complex.
― ain't nothing nice (bnw), Monday, 14 November 2011 02:19 (twelve years ago) link
first hard freeze, the end for tonight methinks.but damn if i don't already have level 9 and about twenty possible quests.

you can get married in this? Beginning to think that this is just what i thought Fable iii should be.

― latebloomer, Monday, 14 November 2011 03:17 (twelve years ago) link
i'm not sure i get the enchant thing, still. i have the soul trap spell, and empty gems. but everytime i cast soul trap on an enemy and then kill it, it says "gem not large enough" or something like that.
eh.

PC version keeps crashing to desktop. no errors or anything - game just disappears. Am starting to get pissy about it. Does QA even try anymore?
― rockapads, Monday, 14 November 2011 06:50 (twelve years ago) link
there is one crash that can be fixed by changing sound settings. Think I saw it in Bethesda forums.
