At the holiday I tried this game (my brother had it). I like that it is single player and the fact that you can / need to run freely around on the map. Aka it is so different from wow that I don't start to compare these two.
I liked is so much that I also bought it. Just to have something to play when there isn't much to do at wow. I also like the fact that I do not have any idea what I'm doing. On wow I follow some guide even when I start new alt. Talents, gear, quest, all can be found... but on this game I do not look anything, since there is no-one telling me that my choices are stupid and I play like noob.
This is my... warrior? I haven’t selected class anywhere. No idea what she is. She likes to hit things with 2h weapon until they stop moving.
Anyway, I wanted to share one epic moment:
I was trying to find my way across the mountains when I hear&saw a drake on this valley covered with thick mist. I haven't seen any dragons (ofc there is one quest that involves killing dragon, but it is with several guards). I was wondering should I just try to sneak pass to it or run like mad. And then that monster notices me. I'm only lvl5... so yey, not really ready to fight some random dragons that fly on this world.
Here it is, flying in mist. I might have actually escaped if I wouldn't stopped and stared.
Multible health and stamina potions... Trying to avoid fire breathing from sky and fire breath + bites when it is landed. Then suddenly, it is dead.
Absorbing a dragon powers... om nom nom
Kill shot. I'm proud of it. My first "solo" dragon kill at the lvl5. ^_^
I have Lydia as my companion there. I think she will follow me until she dies at some point. Kind of useful woman, she carries all my junk if I ask.
Anyone else playing this?

yea you dont pick a "class" as such what you use is what you get better in, I sorted played and do every so often. Some neat little commands to spawn dragons etc and also change your race into anything you want :D.

Skyrim is awesome game and i'm quite annoyed that i can't play it with my laptop.
There is one encounter with a dragon that got stuck in my head.
I was minding my own business hunting some mammoth for their souls, when suddenly something attacked me behind. I turned around and saw a dragon, a frost one, you could tell by the fact it was breathing frost all over me. I drank some potions to help me fight against it, when suddenly another dragon landed... I didn't last very long, but luckily i had saved before, but unfortunate when i loaded the dragons were flying above me =P. It took several tries, almost every potion i had and some help from giant and his mammoth to take one of them down. After that it was a lot easier to take the other one down. Best moment ever =)

Fantastic game. My brother had a go when he called round on Christmas Eve. He spent an hour happily decapitating innocent NPCs until I prised the hand control from him.

What I'm loving about the game? The abusable memes it's generating!

Haha, ye. I tried 1H & shield after finding dragonbane, but I seem to like more about 2H. Longer hit range and better ”dead animations”. It might also the fact that I didn't have any points on 1H so I was just swinging the sword without doing any damage. Anyways, I got horse and got warned that it may flee, but my horse doesn't seem to give shit about dragons.
That stick is warhammer even tho it does not look like one. Now I have 2H axe that absorbs life. Btw Jim, I checked that werewolf thing that we talked. Looks like there is more quests to do, I just returned to the city with fragment and assumed that it was all they wanted me to do.
For funs:
Fun With Guards
One of these companions is not like the others...
Skyrim horses don't believe in gravity

Long story short - Skyrim is amazing; waiting for the CK after chugging in nearly 100+ hours on it.

Hah, almost same thing happened to me last night.
Here is the story:
I finally got my new armor, so now I needed some grand gems for enchants. I remembered that there is this lonely mammoth on one camp (I want them one by one, since I still got rolf stomped by 3 mammoths & giant near main city. >_ > I can kill a dragons, but not mammoths. I don't see the logic behind this.) I also went to Riften and hired Marcurio to test ranged&melee combination. Lydia has been starting to get hit / kneel a bit too often. I gave mage some quest items (shield from companions, dagger from daedric quests)... anyways he is basically non-geared on this fight.
At the camp I see dragon flying behind it, but I thought it would not get us if we just kill mammoth fast. But avast, it got us & mammoth as target. At this point also giant joined the fight due his mammoth was under the attack. ”Lucily” Ahkari's caravan run to help, tho Marcurio managed to hit them with some aoe spell. Aaand at this point we also got another dragon (the one that was my first kill, I should have known it might fly there, doh!).
So, I had 2 dragons swooping from the sky, some NPS's, mammoth and giant hacking me. Hardly could see anything due mammoth & giant on the way, but I dragonrended dragons when I managed to see one. I think this would have ended badly with Lydia. Conclusion; the mage is crazy! Get him as follower, even if he pulls everything.
Mammoth, giant, 2 dragons and one caravan (4 humanoids) killed.
I didn't get my grand soul. I was to slow. -_-''

Did you know that dragons can crash to the ground?
I was doing bounty that required me to kill a dragon. The place was at the top of mountain. I was fighting near the stairs when the dragon flew up. After some circling around it attacked and it crashed to stairs and slide towards me. I was totally baffled by this and just watched the dragon as it slided.

So, has everyone gotten married in Skyrim yet? My character is female, I married a female and we are living with the lovely Lydia.
My RL wife says I am weird...
Also, I am not sure how my in-game wife is making the money she gives me when I have been off adventuring for a couple days...
