No, I've been selling the repair kits and having them repaired by a Blacksmith. With mercantile at +3, I actually net more gold that way I'm pretty sure.

I might have to start bumping that skill up then. I think I only have it at 1.

Oh....and the downloadable content weapons/armor are pretty much worthless after the first hour.....if even that long.

Am I the only one that really has no interest so far in the story?

Yep.

Nope. Some of the side-stories are VERY interesting, though.

That's the thing. The side-stories are pretty interesting. The main story? Doesn't interest me at all. Shit.....I think I've only done 2-3 things on the main quest.

Which brings me to my next question.

Has anyone done any of the Thieves Guild quests?

Spoiler!

I am trying not to steal anything (this game does give tremendous leeway when it comes to actually playing a ROLE) so I turned down the offer from the Traveler dude.

I have started the Warsworn quests but the waypoint is clear in the next section to the east and I'm not ready to go there yet. :)

Just an FYI if you actually DO steal things. You CAN'T sell them to any merchant.....at least not until your mercantile skill is completely maxed out. You can only sell them to a merchant that buys and sells stolen goods.....which is conveniently located in the Thieves guild.

Yep. Right now my character is philosophically opposed to theft. :)

I should but usually laze out and pay for it.

Kinda bummed over the Uprising quest, I wanted to take out the other chick but not sure i had a chance to. Not sure if i did it right but the one i killed had a much nicer rack and personality. ;)

Since you only get 1 per level, there's really not enough of them to go around if you're a hoarder like me. You need Detect Hidden to find loot spots, Alchemy to reliably harvest, Mercantile to earn max gold, and so on.

I don't really consider this a "cheat" since it's certainly not free (let's just say you could buy an entire suit of nice armor for what it costs). So here's what you need to do if you're trying to get as many of those precious skill points as you possibly can, here's a way:

I'm totally gonna do that

So technically you could do this multiple times if you have the cash.....right?

I thought this game was supposed to be getting beat up by reviews, most i'm seeing are well deserved 9's.
