yeah my brother saw a review or something in a magazine and the stats of someone when he was done review was that he had killed 43 dragons i think.
I'm playing Khajiit now, it is the best race for playing as thief I think.
The first time i played as nord mage because i didn't know how to play it right. Second time: argonian. when I reached Riverwood everybody in the city ataked me.
Now the Khajiit is going alright. ^^
you're on your third game! how many hundreds of hours have you played on skyrim

What, people attacked you just like that? Because you're an argonian? Can't imagine..

I just recently started a fourth, more concept like (no short travel and so), though I only ended the main quest lines once^^
That'd be: 1st: Nord warrior. I always liked Nords, and prefer the warrior style, so that's pretty self-explanatory. With mastery of smithing I raised my armor rating to over 800 (which is completely needless since you can block 80% of damage at most (a bit less than 600 would be enough already)). That's also the game where I ended the questline, and by far done the most quests.
2nd: Dunmer thief, assassin, and vampire of late. A Khajiit would have been better for thieving, but dark elves look better in Shrouded armor. And they make great vampires, with their fire resistance making up for some of the vampires fire weakness. The perfect shadow charater.
3rd: Altmer mage. I had to swallow down my pride for that one, for I generally, strongly dislike, high elves. But their Highborn power that practically gives them free magicka for 60 second is really powerful, and in Skyrim they don't have all those weaknesses against magicka as they had in previous games.
I have a question: is Odahviing the only fire dragon in the game or did any of you encouter a fire dragon in the wild? I only ever got normal/blood/frost/elder/ancient dragons.
HahiHa:"I have a question: is Odahviing the only fire dragon in the game or did any of you encouter a fire dragon in the wild? I only ever got normal/blood/frost/elder/ancient dragons."
No you find one in the way to kill Alduin, couple minutes before going to Sovngrade, I also had some trouble with 2 in the way to Alduin's wall
Please don't kill me for this, but I find Skyrim kind of pointless. When I play a game, I usually play to beat it/ win the game. But even if you finish the main quest, it's still impossible to beat it! There are so many quests it's almost overwhelming. Don't get me wrong, I love Skyrim. But I just find the amount of quests discouraging.
I bought a warrior dog at the Riften Stables, but he died in combat in a cave.
I nearly cried.
Go to Falkreath, wait till guard approaches you and asks about a dog, say you haven't seen it, speak to blacksmith, find dog, follow it to cave, get objective from daedra, get dog to come with, don't do the quest.
Personally I liked it for about two-three weeks, then I got bored of it. I got bored of it because I was running out of longer quests to do; all I had left were some miscellaneous things (and I know those misc quests can turn into longer ones, but I didn't want to go through all of them to find a good one, not to mention a lot of them just sounded boring to do). Another reason was because it was getting really repetitive: Quick travel here, talk to a certain person or several people, do task, report back, go to a store to sell and buy things, wander around looking for fun, repeat. So I'd say it's fun for a few weeks if you play it an hour or two a day, but any more than that and I think you'll get bored of it quickly.
There's a possibility of playing it longer: don't short travel, go investigate places you run past, talk to people and do the quests they offer you; and all this on your way to the next main quest destination. If you only and strictly do the main quests, I can imagine it gets boring fast. Oh, and join a group, like the companion, thives guild or college; join a side in the war, alternate between them. Go kill a dragon from time to time or seek for a lost word. If you organize yourself correctly there's plenty to be done. And I haven't even mentioned all the cool perks you can unlock, especially if you specialize and reach the master perks. Then you can start a new game and unlock different master perks hehe..
I look at it the same as the Assassin's Creed games; once I beat the main story and most other things in the game then I'll rarely ever play it.
I agree. But that's why I try to explore, do side quests, and do other things like that while trying to get to my next destination, like HahiHa said. If I don't do that, I usually never even bother with the side quests
Oh, a mod deleted someone's posts so it looked like I was talking to myself.

Just saying, but I joined all the groups I could find (dark brotherhood, thieves guild, companions, college, war) and completed all the quests for them (except the ones that appear to never end, like talking to the old mage guy about the Magnus disturbances, talking to the night mother for more contracts, misc companions quests like taking care of vicious animals, and doing burglary/etc jobs for the thieves guild). And actually running to the place can make it boring since you know what you'll see and it just takes a long time. Investigating places is good, though sadly most of those places don't have much in them unless they are a part of a long quest, at least from my experience.
