In related news, there have already been a few isolated and unconfirmed reports from PC users on the Bethesda forums that the newest patch fixes the magic resistances but breaks fortifications (Sneak +15%, etc.) in certain situations.
Wow...... Ths is becoming very comical.

Comical isn't really the word I'd use to describe it...

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011

So, game complete. I have 2 or 3 sidequests remaining on my list and a bunch of misc. objectives, but I'm a bit burned out with the game for now. Some fun stats I noticed upon completion:

Total playtime: 183:27
Level: 59
Locations Discovered: 246
Quests Completed: 127
Misc Objectives Completed: 183
Favorite Weapon: Dawnbreaker
Bunnies Slaughtered: 2 ( Just thought it was funny that they included this stat and hid it at the bottom of the Combat screen.)
Favorite Spell: Conjure Dremora Lord
Dragon Souls Collected: 55
Locks Picked: 427
Items Pickpocketed: 4835

I'd be interested in seeing others' stats as well, especially things like favorite weapon/spell and anything that stands out.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011

Total playtime: 148
Level: 59
Locations Discovered: 234
Quests Completed: I think I fucked this up...at one point I had negative because I kept cancelling the thieves quest so I could get one in the town that I needed to finish the thieves...
Misc Objectives Completed: 140
Favorite Weapon: Ebony Sword of Fire
Bunnies Slaughtered: 1
Favorite Spell: Clairvoyance
Dragon Souls Collected: 64
Locks Picked: 401
Items Pickpocketed: 121


and I will add

Favorite Shout: Become Ethereal...I loved this spell...fully leveled up it last a long time...you can not be killed...you can fall all you want (used it to skip some climbing down)...you heal during it...and there is a choice you can make late in the game that makes you heal even faster during it....

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011

I think I need to work on the main quest -- I've found a dozen or so shouts, but I've only encountered four or five dragons, which means I'm woefully behind on activating my shouts.

I'm the opposite; I've killed around 25 dragons and absorbed their souls, but only have less than 10 or so shouts.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011

I had an invisible dragon last night, which I could only see because of the arrows sticking out of it. I killed it, but nothing happened. No disintegration, no soul absorb. Obviously a glitch. Anyone else have this?

Is it bad that the dragon killed the stable owners at windhelm

A dragon killed one of the blacksmiths in Dawnstar in my game. Luckily there are two.

Last night I visited Dawnstar and was attacked by two Ancient Dragons simultaneously! That was crazy!

I have a third of the time played that you have and have nearly 7k items pickpocketed.

And I only killed one bunny. Bastard.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011

Oh btw, it may have been mentioned before, but I'll ask anyway...

When you hit level 50, is that it for perks? Or will 51, 52, etc get me perks as well?

I felt this way early on, but by the time I was finished I had 28 unused dragon souls. They really become a nuisance later in the game, to the point that I frequently thought "Another one?" and tried to run away rather than being bothered with the easy but sometimes long fight.

You still get a perk per level. There's nothing special or different about hitting level 50 other than an achievement.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011

I think 80 is the level cap. That should be 100 skill for each tree.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011

I just got Twin Souls for my lvl 33 high-elf mage and the game become pretty easy for me. I just cast a coulple dremora lords and just sit back and watch them duke it at the baddies. I haven't even started on the next main quest which is getting the Horn of Jurgen Whitecaller.

Once all your skills are up to 100, there's no way to level up.

Wanted to point out that this is one of the few games that I can play while relatively drunk.

I've discovered that as well...CoD is a disaster when drunk.

Ok, but I'd probably spoilerize at least one of those characters.
Spoiler:
The reveal of Delphine is supposed to be a surprise in the game.
