Skyrim! Or "There can be only one!"

[Nikose Tyris]

I met a frost dragon today!
I was crawling around a mountain, and found a 'dragon roost' or some shit. There was a dragon word on the wall, so I head on over. I sneak over and learn the word, and turn around to a very annoyed dragon.
Picture in your mind, now, a man in a robe, skidding down the side of a near-sheer mountain face with one hand in the air healing, as he skitters desperately away from a dragon that screams and leaps into the air above him.

It helps to accentuate that by imagining him going, "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck."
I sprint by a giant, who seems surprised by me- and then the giant spots the dragon.

WHAM

Knocks the poor fucker out of the air.

The giant then goes the fuck to town on the dragon, and beats the piss out of it. dragon gets its bearings and begins to frost breath the giant, and the giant gets near death.

I then began casting Healing Hands on Giantbro, and together we kill the dragon.

Afterwords, Pose as a team cause shit got real, and then we went our seperate ways.

I have Force, Whirlwind Step, and Frost Breath now.

[Edit] Oh right and I AM A PRIEST NOW. I can't survive shit alone, but I travel with companions and kick all sorts of ass with Healing Hands, and switch off to Lightning Bolt to snipe off stragglers. I finally lost Lydia to a Mammoth Stampede [] and I'm hunting for a new compatriot. I'm specifically looking for a good tank type, that I can make carry my excess gear. I like to equip them with my best two-handed weapon [I enchant them and pass em over] and the best armor I can buy/make. [New companion will have Scale Armor and a Dwarven Warhammer, it looks like!]

Check out the taverns. If you brawl with someone and win you usually get the choice to team up with them.

Anyway do you guys remember when Bethesda announced that contest about naming your kid Dovahkiin?

Well it happened. Say hello to Dovahkiin Tom Kellermeyer

Ironically, I lost Lydia after I gave her my Exquisite Dwemer armour when I upgraded to Orcish armour.

I'm not even sure if she's dead or where she died. She's certainly not at Breezehome, and she's not near me. Luckily, all she had was some staff, Dwemer bow and some enchanted zweihänder. Plus the aforementioned Dwemer armour.

And in my other game, in which I'm a full-on mage, all Lydia does is crawl around on the ground after a tangle with a dragon. Unfortunately, I've lost track of her there as well, and there she WAS carrying the good stuff. Don't have a house on that game yet, and she was carrying all the valuables plus the dragon bones.

Luckily, I wasn't that far in. Just found the weird ball in Saarthal. It was pretty much the only thing I've done yet, aside from killing the dragon near Whiterun.

Goddammit, Lydia. =/
I give you decent armour, and you die on me.

EDIT: I haven't checked Dragonsreach, actually... but theoretically, if she decided to skip home instead of tracking me down, she should be at Breezehome.

On lost companions: Console commands from Fallout 3 still work. You know, the ones to teleport companions who get lost back to you because pathing is still stupid.

Speaking of, Lydia is now resting at home again in my game. Wearing full dragonbone plate.

Edit: To get Lydia back it's moveto player 000a2c94. If when she gets back she's dead from falling through the world or something you can choose to loot her and then do 'prid 000a2c94' followed by 'resurrect 1'. (edit3: You loot her first because when NPCs rez sometimes their inventories vanish.)

Edit2: PC version only, obviously. Mods and console commands to circumvent bugs and/or shitty pathing are why you only get Bethesda games for PC.

Also irony: Console commands don't work on the consoles.

[Krylo]

Also, this two handed shit has gotten ridiculous. I have a ring with +33% two handed damage, a necklace with the same, gauntlets with the same, and boots with the same. And, 4/5 of the damage upgrades from the talent tree.

I one shot frost trolls with power attacks using a nord hero's sword.

Edit: Only problem is that shit dies so fast that it's hard to raise either that or my armor skills.

Edit 2: That's with all five enchanting buff perks, but none of the other perks further down the tree.

Question mark? I'd say that's very much not the opposite of what's expected, in that's it's exactly what one would expect.

I'm not sure if you've ever played any of the previous Elder Scrolls games on the PC, but if you wanted to "cheat", you'd need to call up the console.

This is basically the debug area for a game.

You need to test how the game handles dropping nine-hundred million brooms in the game? You use the console to spawn these right in front of you by typing a few lines there, and voilà!

Unfortunately, this console can't be called up in console games, since you can't alter the executive file, allowing you to access the console.
And there's no button to do so in the first place.
You could try hooking up a keyboard to the Xbox or PS3 and see if that works, but I highly doubt it.

EDIT: And I would get Skyrim for the PC, Krylo, but for some reason I dislike Elder Scrolls games for the PC.
I can barely stomach Morrowind, but beyond that...

Yeah, there is woman in the Whiterun tavern who will join you if you win a brawl and if you buy the house in Malkarath you get a new Housecarl.
