I'm amused by the sheer number of responses that enjoyed the evil factions more than the good ones.

After leaving Winterhold, I was traveling along the road looking to get into a fight so I could try out my shiny new Incinerate spell. A snow bear obliged me and after failing to strike it down in one fiery blast it had the nerve to try to chase me down and maul me to death. I ran for my life...

That's a little TOO hardcore for me.

I didn't really think about it until you asked. Good question. I guess it could be played either way. You could limit yourself to only purchasing unfilled soul gems or be more strict and say they can only be looted. It's YOUR game. :D

There's a lot of subjectivity here. I've blown a significant amount of my free time on this game and I won't argue that it's big or that there's many options and ways to play. But it mostly boils down to fetch it or kill it type quests and the majority of the questlines are pretty linear...

Because sometimes I'd want to play vanilla. If there is a bug or glitch introduced with installing DLC then that would be a way to fix it. You couldn't use the old save, obviously but I really would've liked the option to turn DLC on and off. This applies more to Dawnguard than the other...

You have hit upon one of my biggest pet peeves. I'm a collector and it's a crime that everything you try to place wants to turn upside down. Bottles, especially the ones with teeny tiny bottoms like skooma make me want to scream. I have to scrape them against the table or shelf and hope it flips...

I call them "House Rules." Some standard ones I like to play with: 1. One must walk everywhere. Running is acceptable for brief periods or during combat. This tends to make horses more useful. 2. No fast travel, though carriage rides are ok. 3. No purchasing of magic items. They must be...

Hmm ... I seem to have the opposite problem. There's not a lot I won't do. Killing Paarthurnax is probably the one thing I can't make myself do and this is coming from one of the most evil, despicable, underhanded, back-stabbing, glory hounding, power hungry, follower sacrificing, follower...

It's not on the scale of the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion but I believe it's worth it. I held off on purchasing only because I was waiting for them to go on sale, which they did, and I snagged all 3 DLC for 50% off. I would have bought Dragonborn for full price based on the reviews I...

Destruction is satisfying but takes ages to level and from what I've heard it peaks around level 35 or so. I've got a Dunmer Destruction mage I'm playing right now. She is focused almost exclusively on Destruction and Restoration, to the point where I've spent several game weeks chopping wood to...

Oh my gods. I came back to this thread to rant about Barbas. I hate him. Hate him hate him HATE HIM! He won't stop pushing me around. He's the reason I will NEVER have an animal companion (horses have the decency to just stand there even if they have a tendency to run away at inconvenient...

Mine freezes up on occasion. I couldn't tell you what causes it because it seems totally random. I can play for hours with no issues and I've had other times where it locked up 2 or 3 times in a row. I feel your frustration. I have a bad habit of relying on autosave but I get involved doing...

I do wonder what they were thinking when they designed some of this armor, DB armor especially. An assassin, if they wear armor at all, should blend in or wear dark colors so as to better conceal oneself in the shadows. I don't think red should even be considered unless you're an assassin that...

I'd like to see someone make a truly legendary character. That is, reset ALL skills at least once. Not many takers, I'll wager. Some of the skills are a lot harder to raise than others.

I believe they're all worth having and I'm glad I bought them.

Yeah, but it's pretty much in name only. YOU still have to do all the grunt work that you should be able to assign to underlings. And everyone still treats you the same afterward. Farengar still comments that you should go join the College of Winterhold even if you're the friggin' Archmage. I...

No. She's scum. If anything we're equals in that regard. I can be just as rich and have lots of friends in high places. The only reason I'm nobody is because the game never acknowledges anything I do or allows me to hold a position of power and actually enjoy the benefits of it. She uses the...

Her attitude gets on my nerves. She lives only because I can't kill her so I do the next best thing. I steal from her. The irony is delicious.

There's a quest associated with it. You can tap the tree and sell the sap. But I've taken to hoarding the stuff whenever I cross paths with the random skooma dealers out on the road. Most of my characters are mad for moon sugar. I guess I'm addicted to Elsweyr Fondue. Can't get enough.
