But my Xbox is in Philly, and I won't be back there until school starts.

that blows

WANT TO PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

This is the single saddest thing I've heard in 2012.

I really didn't think I was going to like it as much as I do.

Because I hated Oblivion.

But FUCK IT'S SO GOOD.

I KNOW

And so pretty.

If there were a way for me to let you play my copy through the internets I'd let you.

There's just so much to do in it

I know, so much.

I'm already level 18 and I've not even started the main quest. :3

I've barely been doing anything with the main quest.

My smithing skill is getting really ridic.

I just keep killing animals and mining ore and making armor and weapons

and selling them for bucks

My highest skill is currently destruction magic, second being enchantment.

My highest is One Handed, then Smithing, then Heavy Armor

I'm playing the hell out of Skyrim tonight

One Handed is 49? And I think Smithing is 41 and HA is 37 or 38

AND IT WILL BE GOOD. I pray you will find your own soon enough D:

and I 'm level 12

I have it!

OH!

I just can't play right now

because it's in philly

word

I have a magic sword called Snøskjær. Does 17 frost damage on top of the normal 11 (13 because of my one-handed skill) steel sword damage.

Enchanting is fucking win.

wow

Yeah that's one avenue I haven't looked into yet

Probs should start leveling that up

disassembling those enchanted daggers and armor pieces I find instead of selling them

Enchanting basically levels up everytime you disenchant an item until about level 35

And to start with enchantments are pretty bogus, you'll sell most of it.

But then you get to Snøskjær

Most pre-enchanted weapons and apparel are enchanted at expert+ so early stuff never matches up.

Technically, Snøskjær (I named her myself next one will be named after my late housecarl) is below my level of enchanting now. (45+)

wait

you have your own housecarl?

Yep

can you become a jarl yourself?

No

oh

where'd you get the housecarl from?

In each hold you can be granted the title of Thane

oh

Which grants you a housecarl

Lydia was my housecarl, from Whiterun.

I see.

It's part of the main quest, after you fight your first dragon. :3

Gotcha.

Incidently, do completing any of the guild quest lines bar you from completing any of the others?

Like, I'm working on the Companions right now, but I also want to do the Dark brotherhood...

Not that I know of.

I've only ever started them. There's a bug in the college questline and it conflicts with the dark brotherhood, but that's locale.

are you playing PC or console?

and what do you mean by locale?

Console

Xbox360

And by locale I mean dungeon.

It literally shares a dungeon

oh

I'm not actually sure which questline conflict with which because I've only read about it

that kind of sucks

Might want to go to UESP and have a look.

I've heard that console load times get monstrous the more you explore

and I'm really hoping that isn't true

or that like...they've already patched it or something

Not in my experience so far

okay, good

I have these horrible lags in certain fights though

Also, I'm a vampire

It's pretty fun until you get lazy with it

and forget to feed for three days

and then everyone is hunting you.

yeah

I'm a werewolf, and it's pretty fun?

A lot of times I forget to activate it though, like in a fight
