Elder Scrolls : Skyrim

[Felon]

true enough, there are some houses more seriously warded than the Jarls.

It seems like it would have been trivial enough to build the quest lines so the jarl house is not welcome, but courriers from his aides would seek you out, then later actual aides when your in town, until you get a proper invite from the jarl to attend court.

Yeah, think about fallout new Vegas and the effort it takes to get into new Vegas to see Mr. House or to get into the fort to meet Caesar.

I got this game but I don't like it.
I hate steam. Didn't know it would have it, aargh, next time I will be reading more sources.

I dispise first person view, did new patch bring some cure to that and does it require re-start?

Since I do got it I'd love to play it still at least for while. So what is easiest class to get into? And what is best way to follow some flimsy "plot". I don't like "free world" games at all, they have bored me sinse darklands. But I wanted to give this one try because it was so pretty. Well it is pretty even with my graphic card, but I am not used at first person view now for years and I truly hope there is some cure for that.

I don't want to give up the game without proper try. It might even be fun.
So what would be super easy way to play?
What skills and char class to get etc? I have trouble with viewing angles so I don't want to make combat very challenging for me.

Despite sounding whiny not my intention, I would just really like to have some advice before I give it another try.

First person isn't a requirement (at least on PC), mouse wheel moves camera back. I find aiming in 3rd person a bit difficult though.

The walls around "classes" is weak; very weak. You CAN be a generalist, though be careful letting your main combat skills (offence and defence) lag behind other skill gains; the game somewhat levels the world to your level and makes no allowances for level increases from non-combat skills.

I find one-handed weapons gives a decent starting weapon choice as you can use the other hand for shield, spell, or 2nd weapon.

An easy place to start is to pick a side in the civil war. Escape the initial situation with the representative character and follow that up after your escape.

Wow dude I don't think this is the game for you if you don't like Free World style games. Best option is to choose what you want to specialise in; combat, magic, thievery.. there's even an assassin and bard questline.

There's third person view, which I use.

Novice setting is pretty easy. You'd have the boss down in no time.

So what would be super easy way to play?

• Drop Difficulty
• Avoid building levels too quickly. Enemies still level scale, though not as badly as Oblivion.
• Get Follower
• Avoid following main quest at first {don't talk to first Jarl, just talk to his mage to buy petty soul gems and use his enchanting alter}
• Get dog
• Max Enchanting using petty soul gems to make Paralysis / Turn Undead / Banishment weapons.
• Sell those weapons to get more petty soul gems and PLENTY of cash on the side.
• Max Smithing {Heavy armor path gets the better weapons]
• { optional ]Max Alchemy to make tons MORE money
• Dual Wield Deadric Swords of duel enchanted Fire damage + Absorb Life using Grand soul gem.
• Make gear of Energy resistance and Magic resistance {If you are a breton, your magic resistance should stack and possibly make you immune to energy attacks].
• Make a duel enchanted Fire and Cold damage Deadric Bow for dragon hunting, continue with main quest.

And to not liking free world games is that most of them were very bad. And not so pretty, Skyrim kinda have hope for me, that I might starting to like them too. I re-installed it and now "f"-key (for pc) works to change between views. Dunno why it didn't work with my prior install asked friend and he told me it should, so this apperently cured it for me. LIke the game much better now. Thanks for advice.

Hope you start having fun with The Elder Scrolls series. Their design plan has always been to create a single player sandbox D&D world. Each version gets better at it. They always win game of the year awards. This is as about as good as it gets.

That said, keep a tolerant atittude on the bugs. Most of the bugs are scripting errors, not code. That makes little mind to normal people, but the difference is, the developer didn't screw up, the scripter did. Fixing a script is a lesser magnitude problem to fix, so they can be fixed more readily in subsequent patches.

I was very frustrated by the game's controls. I'm left-handed, and use the keypad for all my movement and control. I've played Fallout extensively with this setup and never had any trouble. For some reason, though, the keys don't remap properly so I can play the way I'm used to.

I found a mod that mostly solves my problem, but there are still keys that don't remap. It's ridiculous.

My youngest son, who generally likes more realistic games and not games and movies base on fantasy, cannot stop playing this game. It might be the game that gets me to learn how to use this new fangled PS3 thing in my house (says the curmudgeon).
