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!

The funny thing is I haven't even been to High Hrothgar yet. Can't wait to walk up the slope and destroy the troll everyone is having problems over with a flick of my wrist.

Also, speaking of the 7,000 steps, I read there are actually 7,000, and Todd Howard counted them all.

Holy crap, I thought I was bad. I'm at 28 now.

As for the ice troll, he greased me the first time, but after that I got him with arrows.

I have a 'trophy' in the streets of Riverwood.

I also have TWO trophies laying right smack in the middle of the Mage's College grounds. It's crazy.. twice I walked out of the Hall of Elements and had a dragon spitting fire right in my face immediately.

Every time I play this game I'll go to high hrothgar almost immediately from now on simply for the shout upgrades. Though I never actually use that shout.

I made that troll my bitch at level 8.

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.

I've given no focus to enchanting and I've got the 60% perk and I'm almost to lvl 50.

I've gained most of it by learning enchantments and using soul gems to recharge my weapon. I also enchant rings and stuff to make them worth more when I sell them. Since I have the black azura's star grand souls are easy to find. Alchemy, on the other hand, seems to level up REALLY slow.

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.

The hardcover edition is pure sex.

Anyone of the Dark Brotherhood quests? I started my 2nd mission last night -- pretty good shrouded armour set you pickup for joining.

We need a compendium of good utility items and where to find them (stuff that lets you carry more, or let's you find "grand souls" easier, whatever that means).

Activate the Steed Guardian Stone and get a extra 100 pounds for inventory and receive no movement penalty for armour. Easily the best guardian stone available.

I read that you can keep them in a dragon corpse for storage....I have the ones I found back out on the same dragon I took them from by the western tower from the questline.

I assume you can use them to make stuff out of dragonbone/scales.
