Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

Arngeir is back with the grey beards right? I've spoke with him as an optional part of the grey beard / elder scroll questline. I don't recall him sending me after a horn though... To be completely honest I have no fucking idea how you, bbq, cid, and nevreslip can remember all that damn lore / storyline / cities / etc... I absorb the basic gist of it, but fuck if i can recite skyrim lore... I remember Arngeir because he's been involved in my quests, and now I'm 100% certain that the High Hrothgar is where the greay beards are. Oh, and I also just recalled when I said the blades are in Whiterun I was getting them confused with The Companions. have you done anything with them?

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

Spend enough time with a game; it becomes second-nature to remember everything. Some aspects of Skyrim still confuse me, but ask me a question about Mass Effect - anything - and I'll recite it like the back of my hand.

"The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller" was issued by Arngeir, yes. He gives you the quest at the end of "Way of the Voice" because to complete Unrelenting Force you are tasked with retrieving the horn in Ustengrav.

The Blades are involved in the main questline, The Companion's Guild is in Whiterun and its an interesting questline, though perusing it in full isn't without consequence.

I'll put it this way - if you like your Well Rested bonus for skill-ups, you may want to put off doing the Companions because there's a choice made later than incurs a penalty on resting bonuses. The upside is you'll be immune to all disease, have fleas and howl at the full moon. This choice can be reversed, but you'll never get the perks back.

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

I was mildly offended by that video. Yay for Skyrim being big enough to get the mainstream late night television demographic's attention?

I did like the dining room bit and the mystical crab.

Also, what is is with necromancers thinking its a good idea to use ice magic on Nords? That's like fire mages going after Dark Elves...

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

I guess I'm too much of a "geek", but they really didn't get Skyrim at all. I mean I wasn't expecting "Arrow in the knee" jokes or Dovah puns, but come on, "I'm high-five Trooooll" isn't even kindergarten level.

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

I just co-oped with a Dragon. he was nice and helped me kill five Ice Mages.

Sadly, like the end of Double Dragon, we had to fight each other and I put him down.

Now I must enter Morvunskar to resolve this one-night stand with some dude in Markarth after some drinks. I though breaking out of prison there with the Forsworn was bad enough, but when I came home Ysolda knew about the whole affair and was none-too-happy about it. Said I bought a ring of her to marry him, which is awkward, because she's my wife and she sold it to me anyway. Then the dude promised me to a Hagraven... ew. What the hell is up with this quest.

Never drinking in Markarth again.

I'm not sure what you're refering to with the "Well Rested bonus" for skillups. What's this?

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

I never knew about them either... but apparently when you sleep in a bed you get a bonus of some kind. I went way too long w/o going to sleep and now I can't get the bonus or something. I've slept for many days and never gotten the bonus.

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

Neverslip, either you completed the Companions storyline or you caught a disease. Other than that you are able to get resting bonuses even if you haven't slept for months.

Spoilers?

Although, I personally can't go to sleep right now because I have yet to decide whether to crush the Brotherhood or not. <_<;

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

I've started the Companion story but got only far enough to get a Skyforge dagger (or w/e) from their Armor Smith. I never went beyond that. Have I gone too far in and am possibly becoming a moon puppy?

I've drank my fair share of Cure Disease potions so I don't think I have a current infection... hilarious about those though... my girlfriend saw that I had been diseased and totally jumped the conclusion I had been getting virtua-nooky. I have not yet tried to figure out how marriage and the 'social' aspects of Skyrim even happen. When I said I proly got it from a bear... it only made it sound worse =/

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM



But I think I know what it is now. You only get resting bonuses if you sleep in a bed you actually own. Rentals and free don't count.

Never mind, that only applies to Well rested status...

[Neverslip]

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

Yeah... I tried sleeping in my Markarth home and I probly slept for 30min RL and still didn't get any resting bonus. Sleep in another random bed? ... I'm not looking to get diseased, Ray!!!

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

Maybe it's just bugged for you? This is a Bethesda game after all.

Re: Elder Scrolls SKYRIM

It used to be in older TES games that you went to bed to level up... because, you know, that totally makes sense.

When they changed that in Skyrim, they decided to apply skill bonuses for resting instead, which actually does make some sense. If you own the bed, you apparently sleep even more comfortably, even if you have a freeloader like Lydia around eating up all your food or watching you while you sleep.

There's also an extra bonus if you go to bed with your spouse, though I imagine the bonus to that might be better if you choose to sleep with your real life spouse rather than stay up all night playing Skyrim.
