Where do you purchase the furniture?

Perfectly good pirate version out there for the PC, including the update.

I probably don' thave a computer that could handle it.

You can get furniture from the same guy who sells the house in the first place.

It didn't take me long at all to get enough money to buy a house. I had 5k by the time I reached 10 hours in game, which in the grand scheme of it isn't terribly long.

So speaking of money, anyone found a good merchant to unload expensive stuff on? I've got a chest full of crap in my house that I can't really sell...probably well over 10k worth of shit. Dragon bones / scales, staffs, special armor (most of which is at least 2k a piece)...I NEEDS A BETTER MERCHANT.

I'm still doing quests in Whiterun by the way, 12 hours in

do the theives guild quests, you can get crazy amount of fences through them all throughout the land

Good point. I am just now beginning the very first Companions quest in Whiterun, haven't even seen or heard mention of other guilds. Well, people talked about the Mage's College but no more than that.

Easy way to kill Giants and Mammoths around Whiterun I discovered. Go to the Giant camp around Whiterun and lure them into chasing you, run into the watchtower (Where you fought the first dragon) They cannot fit in the door you can stand in the doorway and just destroy them.

keep those dragon bones/scales, you can make armor with it once you max your smithing out

I wish the game had directX 10/11 support. They said they were coming out with a patch, and some of this lost performance is inexcusable (especially when my card eats whatever is thrown at it, spits it back out, and stomps on it. HD 6870)

Otherwise, though, the game is terrific, and I've sunken almost 40 hours into it. I appear to have lost some weight as well.

I came to realize that I don't smith enough. I enchanted a dwarven dagger (renamed it The Dildagger), and can't upgrade it any further because I don't have the perk that allows me to upgrade magical items. My alchemy level is through the goddamn roof though.

I like being able to pay someone to teach you the skills.

im already at level 50 with my lock picking skill. just encountered my first couple of vampires yesterday, scary. i have no located all but 1 of the cities, holy fuck some of them are HUGE! just seen my first dweemer ruin too! at level 19.

dragons really arent much of a problem at all for me anymore, giants still are fo sho.

Deathbell + salt pile = slow potion

They aren't shit when you don't have to worry about them charging you.

All PC players have to check this out!

Kotaku did a little write up on mods that enhance the visuals.

I will now forever be spoiled by these mods and can never look back.

I'm gonna have to check that stuff out when I can pull myself away from the game long enough to give a shit about anything else

As far as the cheat menu for the console, pass, untill my second play through though FOV 85 is AWESOME. I've also installed some mods from the Skyrim section of curse.com. The lock pick health meter makes me creamy and the barbie doll nude mod for chicks makes a lot of the clothing the women wear more believable as it removes the bandage-bra-thing and is more in line with how women would actually appear in such a time period. The loading screen time mod is awesome too.

The 8800GTS trick that worked in Oblivion works in Skyrim. I have yet to actually try it, but I guess it works great.

Here's a funny way to learn skills fast and cheap (free).


Go to an NPC that's a companion for you. Ask them to teach you their skill

Ex. Vilkas from The Companions teaches 2H weapons.

Learn as much as you can for that level, which is a max of 5 skill points.

Talk to the companion again and ask to trade.

Take back all the gold you spent to learn the skills.

BAM! Free skill leveling.



You might have to dismiss your current companion and tell them to go home, while adding the NPC with the skills you want to your party.

8800GTS dll trick did jack shit for me.

Found out you can forge the atronach summoning spell tomes in the midden at the College of Winterhold if you've got the right items. They're pretty decent if you're going the conjurer's route.

LATE!

>That guy

I copy and pasted your link because he was asking. I got the info from your post. I figured credit was implied.

made it to level 23 tonight

became a full fledged member of the bards college

and bought my first house

i love this game so much, i wanna figure out the how to get married bit, i still need to buy a horse, and i wanna build my speechcraft up past 70 so i can start investing in shops and all that jazz

how the hell do i level alchemy? i've made over 200 potions and i'm at only 42 alchemy....is there a quick way to doing this that i'm missing?

That secret dev cave was too much for me not to check out. I wanted to TAKE ALL THE THINGS! But I'm still on my first play through and I vowed I wouldn't, so I begrudgingly ported back all the way to Whiterun. Then sadness enveloped me.

I married Ysolda from Whiterun just because she was the best looking chick I could find that it would let me marry. I wanted that innkeeper from Markath's daughter though.....yeah boy.
