It's more about trying to spend some time with my family awake instead of feeling half dead when I come home from work. There was a week in October when I had about 3 or 4 hours sleep every night and by the end of the week I felt really ill.

I have no doubt I'll start Skyrim up soon and be back to my old ways. I also expected more talk in this thread after people getig it for Christmas.

I got it for Christmas, and playing it far too much, although I'm only on level 15. Also pissed off that I after learning the second shout, I went and killed at least 3 dragons, then learnt a new shout by going up to the highlands place I was told about, and the game told me I need a dragon soul to learn a new shout - I've got THREE!!

Just had a great mission killing a load of bandits by sneaking up on them with a bow. Maybe I just never tried it in Oblivion, but it's so much more fun being sneaky than charging straight in. Lydia and the horse are a bit of a pain though, charging in when they're not supposed to.

I went to, umm, I seem to have forgotten what places are called it's been so long since I played :S Top of a mountain with some monks, the ones that don't talk, well, one of them does.

Anyway, I asked for a new dragon wall location and they sent me to a location where I can't go yet. It said location added to map, it didn't appear so looks like I need to visit another location so I can find some object to go to the dragon wall place.

I think it's that I was allowed to use the new shouts they taught me even though I'd only killed two dragons, but before I can learn more, I've got to play catchup. Got 4 souls now, but 5 words, so just keeping an eye out for the next dragon.

Someone mentioned reading the books on your phone rather than the PC - how do you do that? Is there some sort of 'Books of Skyrim' ebook?

They say they give you the soul when teaching you the words.
I've got loads of souls saved up, not really bothered with the shouts to much, I should really have a hunt round a few more dungeons for the words.
Now I've got a legendary Daedric bow made with a full outfit with smithing boosters and potions and enchanted it's balls out with shock and fire damage there's not much that needs finishing off at close range!
It has been a boring time maxing out smithery and enchanting though, I must have hundreds of crappy enchanted rings!
