I'd been doing other various bits and bobs in the mean time but as far as the main quest goes it's escape from that first town with some solder dude, go to little village to see Soldier dude's blaksmith friend, go to nearest proper town to request aid from the Jarl, earn Jarls trust by going to a dungeon and kicking fuck, OMFG THE DRAGON'S BACK KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT. Whether dragons start turning up randomly after that or if you have to go a bit further in don't know quote: Dual wielding is all about being fast and nimble. ... and essentially just avoid getting hit That's my problem right there, i'm just no good at that sort of play style. I know how to do it, it's just that i personally aren't quick and nilble enough with my keyboard and mouse to avoid getting twatted in the face with a hammer. I think i will restart with an Orc and come back to my Redguard at a later date. I'm still going to keep using destruction magic though, as the dual spells thing is fucking awesome.

I have a question, how many hours before I would get to grips with this? I can maybe afford to spend 4 or 5 hours a week playing it, do is require a marathon of effort for it to be a good game? It sounds ace. Roses are bollocks, Violets are crud, I hate bloody flowers, And much prefer mud.

A story about dragons. I went off to the city of Windhelm to see what i get get up to. I spoke to the Jarl's steward and he gave me a quest to kill a dragon. This was in the "miscellaneous" quest page, so basically a generic 'go to this location and KILL' quest, but with a dragon. Very well, i thought, and off i went. On my way to the quest dragon, a random dragon turned up and started attacking some farm. There were a couple of gaurds around the farm who launced a few arrows at it, i hit it with a bit of magic, but it wasn't really taking much damage and it wasn't landing so i couldn't get my sword in to play. Then, all of a sudden the dragon veered off and landed a fair distance away. I ran to catch up and saw that the dragon had apparently been distracted by agiant and had swooped down the burn the fucker. The giant proceed to twat the dragon on the head with his hammer. The dragon then died. I then went off the kill the dragon i was being paid to kill, which was too easy and actually a bit boring. It was the first dragon i'd actually had to take on by myself and i thought it'd be more complicated. I thought i'd have to wekan it with ranged magic or somehow force it to land before i could start chacking away at it, but instead he very kindly landed right next to me almost immediately and allowed me to hit him with my sword. Admittedly i did have to run away and heal a couple of times but at no point did i feel in any real danger. Not like when i was fighting a bear about half an hour ago, which actually killed me three times before i took him down. MrTrent is officially disapointed in the dragons. Except when they get killed by giants. MrTrent A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless. In a world of criminals who operate above the law.

4-5 hours a week would not be enough. Maybe if you just wanted to work through the quests one after the other you could get quite a bit done in 4 hours, but that would be to miss the whole point.

Aye but I've found food is a bit pointless when one has a heal spell. So I heal them instead, to repay them for all the tasty meat. , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

Is anyone playin as an Argonian, or interacted with many Argonians? I ask because i've just come across a few and the lizard skin texture isn't showing, just a bright purple. I don't know if that's just me or not. MrTrent A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless. In a world of criminals who operate above the law.

I've interacted with (killed) some. Their textures were fine. Are you sure it's not a bright purple Argonian? :Y , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

I've just been doing a bit of googling and have only seen one other mention of missing textures like this. (EDIT: having re-googled with the correct spelling of "texture", i've seen quite a lot more mentions of it.) Oh well. I've seen surprisingly few bugs so far*, so i'll let it off.

*Although one of them was a pretty annoying one. When you escape the dragon in the opening sequence then get tasked to go to the little town and speak some woman, the woman didn't have the conversation option to advance the quest. I had to use the developer console to tell the game that i'd spoken to her otherwise the main quest would have been unaccessible.

Hmm. I just left the area to go and threaten someone, went back to tell teh Argonian and collect my payment, and the textures were working fine. Oddness.

Hey, it wouldn't be a Bethesda game if it didn't have such gameplay breaking bugs.
