Mass Effect's given Skyrim a dirt-nap, for now.
Hopefully I'll be done with ME3 in time for Skyrim's DLC, which seems to be taking way longer to even announce than any other Bethesda DLC before.

kill animations for magic is pretty cool.
*Smithing skill increases now factor in the created item’s value - This may make smithing/enchanting even more overpowered than it already is.

Am posting from my phone so can't provide the link but rumor is elder scrolls is getting an MMO. If it turns out true it'll be the death of ES

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
Rumor is Zenimax Online will be developing it.
According to the leak, the MMO would feature three playable factions. None of them have been named, but their standards are known: a dragon, which likely refers to the Septim royal line, which is Dragonborn, a lion and a winged figure that is either a phoenix or an eagle.

The optimist in means thinks this mmo will run parallel to the TES series instead of replacing it.

Yeah, I doubt they would replace the ES series. They be killing a cash cow. MMO's are fine and wonderful to expand the series but there is no guarantee it would get enough of a foothold to keep generating revenue. Personally I'm burnt out on MMO's. I'm somewhat interested to see what Guild Wars 2 has to offer, but that's it. Charging me $15 a month to play something holds no lore for me anymore.

Not a peep yet, officially, other than hints that any DLC will be "expansion-sized."
I'd rather wait for that than get the DLC that's more typical these days. Most developers would have released 3 or 4 DLCs by now for a game this successful, each involving 1 or 2 short quests for $10.

I too checked in for word of some DLC. I just finished Mass Effect 3 and I'm itching to become dovakin once again.

I'm expecting something more akin to Shivering Isles than Fallout DLC. Hopefully that will make it worth the wait.

With that said, Skyrim's guide (i got the nice hardback) is one of the most used guides I've ever had. It is wonderful in every way. So detailed, so many maps, it's nearly perfect.
In response to your spoiler question, I'll give you a general guide about weapons in the game. In the situation you describe you might be overmatched, this is true. However, if you beat a couple of people and take their stuff, then you will be much more up to the task. It is also good to have a couple of sets of armor (or possibly more), keep a couple at your house in the chest and come back if you run into a situation like you describe.
I haven't seen any quest (unless you are in a deep dungeon) where you can't run back, grab a weapon or something and continue. Nor have I seen any situation that would require you to start a new character. (I guess unless you contracted a certain "disease" and were too foolish to not do something about it). You might certainly be at a disadvantage but by no means do I think you are screwed.

I was stuck on that mission too. I say was because I reloaded an earlier save so I didn't have to try it again. Those mages are a bunch of bitches. I since learned a bit about magic to try and counter it but I haven't gone back to that mission.

I've got to stop playing these games as an archer. By the time I reached the end of the main storyline it was a cake walk as a level 47 with 100 Archery and 100 Sneak. Those two skills are way overpowered.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- November 2011
Haha, I do agree these two skills are a bit OP. My character is in the 70's for both and I'm going through the early stages of the same thing. People go down like rag dolls and what's worse I can hit somebody with an arrow 5 times and as long as I'm in shadows, they never come and find me. It's funny and kinda sad at the same time. But darn it if I still don't love the game

Yeah, my character's not even that skilled in archery or stealth and I can still take out most enemies with just an arrow or two while hiding.

downloaded the update on PS3 and had it lock up on me about 20 minutes into playing. I have no idea why Oblivion was so rock solid yet Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Skyrim freeze like crazy on the PS3.

That sucks. The game has been freezing and crashing on me like crazy (level 40 or so), and I was hoping that this update would fix everything.

Apparently the new update has been crashing the game on PS3 if you go into water. The temporary solution is to delete the game data and reinstall that and the patch.
