Elder Scrolls V

[Fire Me Boy!]

So the guys at Bethesda let it slip a few months ago that Elder Scrolls V was in the works for 2010, and a friend said he read a possible release in 2009... I'm looking for the article, but I'm friggin' STOKED about a new Elder Scrolls game coming out in the next 12-18 months!!!

I think they can learn a lot with the successes and failures of their previous landmark releases like Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 and make ESV an absolute KICK ASS game!

I can't stop stealing in these games. Constantly stealing keys and shit from people. One of my favorite things to just see how much shit i can steal.

Can't go 5 minutes without running into one, but I'm level 27 or so. More dragon bones/scales and souls than I possibly need.

There was one quest where I had to steal an item from one of the wealthy families in Whitehall. I figured as long as I was there......

Somehow they figured out it was me and sent a goon squad to kick my ass. It ended very badly for the goon squad, but there are repercussions for theft, even, apparently, if no one sees you.

Is there a reason I'm hauling around a 25 pound Dragonstone? It has a value of 0. Do they do anything?

It's a quest item. When you're done with it, you can get rid of it.

Ahhh, so dragons are the new Oblivion gates, eh?

There are two barrels near the blacksmith shop in Whitehall that I use for storage. Nothing's ever gone missing out of them. That's where I keep my excess crap that I can't sell but might have use for later in the game, especially crafting materials.

I have 100 smithing now.

Easy way to level up smithing: grab as many iron ingots or iron ores (to turn into ingots) as you can, and buy up as many leather strips as you can. Alternately, hunt a lot of animals, take their hides to the tanning rack and turn em into leather strips.

Now take all those ingots and leather strips and make as many iron daggers as you can. You will level up fast and easy. Don't bother trying to smith more advanced items, because you don't level up any faster.

Once you hit 90 smithing you can make legendary armor and weapons. Make sure you get the perks so you can make daedric stuff.

And if you level up your alchemy and enchanting trees you can enchant stuff to give you smithing bonuses and create potions to make your smithing more effective. Totally broken.

However, leveling up enchanting and alchemy takes longer from what I can tell.

Buying a house not worth it?

Thanks for the tip. I wish they scaled the leveling, but oh well, I'll just make a bunch of daggers, I guess

Haven't got around to it yet. I'm a werewolf now, so I don't get any bonuses from sleeping.

I think it's pretty horrible that you can craft the best weapon in the game yourself.

That shit should be loot.

Just picked up the strategy guide (700 pages long) and some Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers...so tonight should be AWESOME.

Yeah, that was my main gripe about Oblivion. I was hoping they fixed that. ****ing Bethesda are the only ones that do retarded shit like that.
