The Elder Scrolls Megathread

[fred da kiko]

I was walking to a cave with Clavicus Vile's dog Barbas as part of his daedric quest, when I came across an NPC walking the road. He was called simply "Redguard" and was wearing the most absolutely ridiculous-looking ensemble I had ever come across in the game: Ebony gauntlets, Banded Iron armor, Dwarven helmet, Steel Plate boots, Orcish shield, and Iron War Axe. He said I should go home to my mother. Having of course no mother in-game being the player character, I reprimanded this demagogue for his foolish insults.
"I don't have to take that from you!" he yelled as he began combat.
I bashed him with my shield, disarming the man. Barbas ran up and began to attack him, and I felled him rapidly with my sword.

sell the gauntlets.

[Man 2]

I have no use for money; with 25000 gold already and enough skill in smithing to make whatever weapons and armor I need, two houses, and potions from my fallen enemies, I'm set for life.

[dkamm65]

I have over 150k and haven't made any significant purchases. Level 36. Money is too plentiful.

[Sabbin]

I always have some sort of medium of around 10-15k
My crafting (Alchemy, smith, enchant) aren't high, so occasionally I buy items.

[Scream.]

I have like 8000.
:(

[MegaScientifical]

I wish you could get Sheogorath's stuff legitimately, but you can't even pickpocket him when you meet. Looks so cool. I consoled this in temporarily, won't keep this save. Going to reload a clean one.

Sometimes, when I'm walking somewhere, I become so captivated by the world that I walk straight past my destination.

Does anyone else do that?

Same. That's why I started a new game. =D

I remember once needing to go to this one cave near Whiterun as a part of a quest. It was pretty close and by all means it was one in game day's job. I reached the cave 5 in game days later. I returned to Whiterun a total of 7 days later. I was still pretty new to the game and the journey went along the lines of "Oh! What's that? What's this? Ooh I wanna see that." i.e. I was Curiosity Core. After a bit I though to myself "Goodie, now let's get back on tra- Hey, what's over there?".

I feel so much like a baws with my new thief character. I totally soloed 10 bandits in one exterior fort without anyone noticing me. All stealth kills. I loving love stealth.

I love stealth. It is the best way to kill anyone.

[Man 2]

I'm going to find a suit of armor that sells for more than it costs to make...
Dammit Barbas, if I'm going to follow you halfway across the province I'm going to want you to move just as fast as me, not just a tad slower. I don't appreciate having to stop every ten feet just so I don't get ahead of you.

but you are using a controller aren't you?
You should be able to match his pace by only partially pushing the joystick

Yes, but it's difficult to sustain a constant speed with a thumbstick unless it's pushed all the way forward or back, or just pushed forward a little, as with sneaking. Barbas barely runs a quarter-mile an hour slower than you; to have to adjust the pressure you keep on the thumbstick to match Barbas' speed would be a difficult consistency to maintain.

[Littledude]

when i first found barbas I got excited that I could have a talking dog companion, when I realized he was just their for the daedric quest I was upset.

[asablief]

I heard about a ballooning save file issue. Does that affect PC?
