so I was on a new character
and I was getting my smithing up with alvor when you first see him in riverwood
and
when I was going to whiterun, I decided to level up
oddly, it let me level up nine times
and now I almost have the smithing level high enough to make ebony armors
:/

This is completely inaccurate. Under no circumstances should you use it.
yeah, someone told me that a few hundred pages back anyway.

I first tried this game a month or so ago, I never made it to Riverwood that round, and I didn't really enjoy it. However, my brother got it again and I actually played around some and I actually enjoy the game a good bit. Especially the archery, it's a lot of fun to sneak up and headshot some bandit or whatever.

The only downside is I've screwed up my perks, though I am only level 5, I might restart. Not sure. (this is on 360, so I can't use a mod or some game command to fix it)

you've only chosen 4 perks, it doesn't really matter, there are still 76 more you could be getting.

Originally, I loved Nexus and thought it made things easier. However, after downloading a reasonable list of mods, the list has become very disgusting. I only use most of these mods when I feel like checking them, but that is not the point. Update and Version management is terrible. For one thing, to download a new version, you are sent to the site to manually download the correct file, then remove the old one by hand. Worse though is the version management. Most mod makers release at least several files for a single mod, yet the manager only checks the version to the overall mod version. When different files have different versions because they might be different things (Like a version of textures for a mesh mod), they are marked as outdated. A mod maker might make the mod version "V3" while the main files are "4." Why you can break format is beyond me, and only makes things worse. There is an editor for a mod I use which I've had version 0.9.5. I just now decided to check if it had updated, since for the longest time it had been marked outdated since the main mod was 3.0, constantly marking this outdated. Turns out, this mod is 1.2.0 now. This is a problem they have to fix.


New Favourite mod.

Some of these surprised me:

I really wish Nexus was more streamlined like this system. Workshop is nice, but how you set things up bothers me.

Must start a new character when I get home~


just subscribed to it, can't wait to check it out
I havent been able to check it out because im on Skyrim Burnout.

chances are, you had leveled up multiple times but just hadn't went to update your level yet
it doesn't give you the whole "level up" sound and stuff when you've reached the mark for one level, even if you continue to gain levels, until you update your level

so I ran into a ghost-boss thing called Krosis on top of one of the mountains, that thing was loving hard. I was only level 5, but I managed to kill him after about 10 minutes of back-and-forth fighting and healing. had a cool mask and whatnot.

killed a dragon right before him too. fun.

You were at Shearpoint, were you not? Did you get the shout?

Krosis, one of the 8 dragon priests.

Killed it at level 5 too, good job. Don't sell the mask though.
