Gah I hardly got a chance to play it over the weekend
:(
But I decided to go a different route this time and made a big muscly orc. I currently favour the two-handed warhammer
:Y
I also need to turn the settings down next time I play as for some reason the test it did on my graphical capabilities resulted in everything being put on max, which gives about 3fps. Which settings have the biggest impact on framerate? I'm probably getting about 20 or so now with most things still near max, and I want to make things look as pretty as possible.

That's kinda cool because we can compare notes and see whether I've missed out on some awesome stuff.
I did wonder whether... those three prisoners are kinda clearly good/neutral/evil. I wonder if the quests you get change based on which one you kill? I mean I enjoyed the DB quests in Oblivion but I didn't like the ones where you have to kill innocents. So maybe they use this as a filter? Probably not, it's probably just to fuck with you.
On an unrelated note. Not really a spoiler this, just fun dragon fun:
I saw a dragon (I've only killed 2 so far) so I thought I'd have a pop. I noticed a giant/mammoth camp nearby so I lured the dragon there so that the giants and mammoth would help me.

That worked well and we brought the dragon down, one giant got killed. Then I was hopping over to loot the dragon corpse and the fucking mammoth and remaining giant went hostile on me. So I legged it but they're fast and it wasn't going well. Then I stumbled upon a hut and thought I was saved. But a mage pops up and starts firing ice spikes at my ass. I ignore him and dodge into the hut with about 1 pixel of health remaining. Then this happens:

:D
So I finish him off then go see what happened to the mammoth and wizard. Seems the mammoth finished the wizard off and is running away because he's badly hurt. Fuck that, you attacked me you asshole. So I shot him.
It was all rather exciting.

Shadows. Try turning shadows off and leave everything else as it is. Then slowly bring shadows up until you hit the sweet spot.

I've got a photo of me in a temple in Thailand doing exactly the same thing at an archway.
I found one dragon curled round some ruins (looked very atmospheric in the depths of a snowstorm. I had to look twice before I realised what it was) at the top of a mountain, just next to one of the walls that gives you a new Shout. My companion and I took the dragon out relatively easily, though poor old Lydia did take a bit of a battering.
So I wandered over to the wall, thinking it was all over, when a named thing jumped out of a coffin nearby and started slinging explosions at us that nearly killed me several times over, all the while laughing at the pathetic amount of damage I was doing. That's when I ran away, and didn't stop running until I'd fallen to the bottom of the mountain.
Unfortunately, Lydia didn't make it. I went back to the site much later, after wondering how long it would take her to catch me up, and found her body slumped against the Shout wall. I felt really guilty while I looted her corpse and got all the good weapons back that I'd given her. Then the bastard named thing appeared again and I ran and ran and ran.
