So I just read the IGN review, 9.5. MW3 got a 9.0 :p

But the review made my mouth literally water, I hate school right now. I have three tests today, and my mind will barely touch any of them....

I just can't wait to get this game gents! Connor said it he got it last night and that it is awesome!

It's definitely in my top three favorite games of all time. It's simply amazing. I wish I had more time before class so I could explain how awesome it is. Put it this way, even the water has physics. If you kill an enemy in the water, they float down stream. And if the waters deep enough, it hampers with your swimming and actually drags you down stream too!

So what is everyone playing as? What are you currently focusing on leveling up?

I'm an Imperial - Male.

My main focus for leveling up is One-Handed Weapons, Destruction, Restoration, and Light Armor.

I haven't spent any of my skill points yet, no real need to this early in the game. I'm avoiding leveling up as well so I can take advantage of getting training from people, as it only allows you to do it five times per level like in Oblivion.

Thanks!

I'm playing as a:
Imperial - Male
Focusing VERY heavily on One Handed
Heavy Armor
Restoration
Destruction
(And kind of block)

I currently duel wield two Orchish Swords.
And I can decapitate people!

Also Elemental Fury(Dragon Shout) + Duel Wield Power Attack = Devastation, and it looks bad ass

If you want to know where to find said shout. Join the companions and one of the very early quests you have to deal with the Farwhals(I think that's what there called, they're like tribal people) and they're on the far west side. Well on your way there, there's a chance you'll come across this place called Dragontooth crater. There's a dragon there, some nice loot, and a shout.

Also when I fast travelled back there after selling the dragon bones & scales another dragon appeared there.

Level 23 Wood Elf - Male
Primary: Archery / Sneak
Secondary: Smithing / Light Armor / Lockpicking / One-Handed / Enchanting / Alchemy

I must say, an Elven Bow (Flawless) and sneak attack criticals (with 3x perk) can do some massive damage... That's nearly 200 damage in one shot, and I can often get 3-5 shots in before they detect me. :P

If you haven't had her killed already, give them to Lydia. She's a great pack mule =D

And as I talked to Mythonian about, it's impossibly hard to shoot dragons out of the sky ... like I found a random Dragon encounter, it was flying over Fort Greyson (dont actually remember the name of the fort) and I kept shooting arrows at it, but I couldn't hit it so it just kept flying around and it eventually got bored and flew away ... So mad >.< One bad thing about them being randomly scripted is that they don't initially battles, so it's nearly impossible to start a fight with one that is flying.

That happened to me, I went inside a building. Came back out and it fought me, a minor glitch. Lydia died on like my 1st Companion quest :p

So I'm an Orc right, well I found Orc strongholds throughout the game. One is up where

For those of you that need to buy a house in order to store your stuff (such as me), but aren't willing to part with the cash just yet, then I have a glitch for you.

Go to the person that you need to buy the house from and make sure that there is a container nearby (or something else where you can put your items into), once you hit "A" to buy the house immediately back out of the conversation and select the storage container. Scroll down to your "Misc." items and put your gold into the container. The guy will hand you the key to house and then you can retrieve your gold from the container.

You just got a house for free! Congrats!

EDIT:

I can confirm that this also works when buying upgrades for your house.

Meh thats cheating.

Shouts I currently have:

Slow Time - Locked

Unrelenting Force and Whirlwind Sprint

Being a werewolf is boss. But I noticed you lose your armor rating and pretty much everything related to your character, and I was rediculously weak because I haven't been putting many points to health, since I'm a mage. But it's still amazing with the abilities you gain from it xD

If anybody runs across a "hangover" quest (i forget the actual name of it, some guy starts off inviting you to a drinking contest) Go for it! The quest is a whole series of mini quests that are all a complete bitch! But it is totally worth it! The staff you get at the end is badass.

Haha does that start off with Sam Guevenne (I believe that's his last name)?

The Quest "Forbidden Legend" is pretty rewarding, it's pretty long and you must go through the first quest of the Mage College, but in the end you get and Amulet that increases your health, stamina, and magicka all by 30. Plus the mountains of other goodies from looting.

I wish I got to play Shivering Isles =/ I would be infinitely happier. But another DLC like it would be amazing. I fear they'll do something different though, Daedric aren't the main point of Skyrim like they were in Oblivion. And even if they did, they would probably focus on a different Prince since they already did Sheogorath.

You....you didn't play Shivering Isles? :( You're missing out, big time, it's without a doubt the best DLC that I have ever played. Even better than the Shadow Broker DLC in ME2.

No I actually didn't =/ I just recently, like about a year and a half or so ago, began picking up on Oblivion. Didn't play Morrowind or Daggerfell either. So I barely completed Oblivion and never did Shivering Isles. I want to though. The magic kind of turned me off, I wasn't too pleased with how magic worked in Oblivion, so it was a slow game for me xD

And yeah I knew about the bucket trick but I don't do it xD It's hilarious to watch them walk around though.

This game is intense. I just liberated Whiterun with the Stormcloaks, and you start out a bit away in the hills, next to a trio of catapults firing flaming stones into the city. Whiterun is destroyed and on fire. Then you rush the ground between yourself and the city and assault a barricade, while Whiterun Guards and Imperial Soldiers rain down arrows from the walls. I breathe my Dragons Fire and destroy the barricade and the soldiers behind it xD Damn, this game involves so many plots its not funny. And it makes you feel alive in the action too, two large Armies clashing into the city. So epic.

Get him stuck and run around in circles around a small cliff or outlet of rock, continuously shooting magic at him. Also, it works with Mammoths Im not sure about Giants but if you go under the bridges and through the other side, they can't go underneath so they need to walk all the way around and you can continuously do that.
