Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Raifuru]

How is this game in terms of SLI scaling. I was thinking of getting a second GTX 570, but if SLI-ing is a no go for this game, then I might as well just save up for a GTX 680....and other parts....

Is there any cool armor with a coat like part in it ? Or something similar to archer's cloths in Fate/Stay Night ?

Or at least a coat that can go over armors ?

well, The combination of omegared's Ranger Armor and Inquisitor Hat makes you look like a Witch Hunter from Warhammer Fantasy

Since I started my characters fresh.. the first thing I'm noticing is that the landscape is crawling with vampires at night... like bloody cockroaches.

My lvl 11 mage is currently managing a case of vampirism (plus and minus benefits to it). Lolita vampires for the win I guess...

Just relax, look at my eyes, and I'll show you something special... <snik>
I wiggled and fluttered my lashes... and Lydia opened him up like a pinata. That's how we got in.
Ph33r the small and darkly cute ones...

I ran into two large groups of vampires, As they kept giving me trouble with their constant chickening, I showed they true fear of the moon. A WEREWOLF!

[sa547]

Geez, since I started siding with the DG, I'm sort of a trouble magnet for vampires. ) And disposed of them accordingly.

Oh, I have a thought for Volkihar: SEND MORE!

[Myssa Rei]

The vampires seem to spawn even on normal games, as I found out with my level 50 Nord spellblade. It can be fairly annoying, as they can kill quest NPCs unintentionally in their attacks.

He doesn't get many dates, eh? <rofl> He'd probably get along better with my warrior anyway - her subtlety knob is welded at 'zero'.
Besides, thats why your warrior isn't a lowly jail guard, he's smarter

Have you encountered the traveling vampire NPC yet? That specific NPC continues to respawn. He's like the radiant quests, only more annoying since his level scales pretty high. It's not bad if you're on PC since you can always revive dead NPCs, but I feel for the console players. I haven't seen groups of vampire attack after finishing Dawnguard, but this one NPC refuses to go away.

Having finished Dawnguard, I can say that it was well worth the money. A bit more expensive than I would've liked, but that's because I have to pay off loans. The variety of new items and spells was easily the best part for me. Crossbows, exploding ammo, nifty Restoration spells and unique weapons (especially the unique weapons; shields that release explosions and a warhammer that places runes upon bashing? Yes pls) allowed me to change my playstyle on the fly and keep me entertained.

The NPCs were one dimensional, but that's to be expected. Only Serana was unique, but she was too buggy for me to fully enjoy her as a follower.

Another strong point was the new locations. There were a good number of new areas to explore, but there are 3 extremely large locations that actually require a good amount of exploring instead of your usual dungeon where you go in a rather set path to the end and find a shortcut to the entrance. Good for those of us who like to roam about, although I did get sick of the Soul Cairn after a while.

Enemies were nothing to write home about. I like what they did with the Falmer, since it gives them more variety, as well as a the Chaurus. The new dragon tiers were a bit of a letdown. I suppose it's because I played an archer/warrior and the shouts used by the dragons are more crippling against mages. That and I had Dragonrend. The only time they gave me trouble was when I got double teamed and Serana was half a map away due to her glitch.

All in all, I would definitely play Dawnguard again, but this time as a mage and on the Volkihar side, and before completing the original main quest. I got a brief taste of being a vampire, and it was enough to make me curious, since I don't like playing as vampires or werewolves normally.

[Ak3mi]

Some really amazing characters pretty jealous.
I still haven't purchased the dlc, haven't had enough free time may do it in late September. Is everyone enjoying it?

[DuoRanger]

my head is itching for a Dogmeat companion using those Dawnguard Huskies

[RRW]

finally got it fix. at expense of missing half of the mods

[Vexx]

Yeah, you might try adding them back in one at a time -- usually the problem is actually just one or two mods.

In my case, it was just one mod ... the one that distributed the active mod hair packs to all the NPCs. Apparently not updated to reflect Dawnguard changes.

I feel like I wrote everything for nothing.

well, *I* read it

I'd kind of like to see everyone's characters and which storylines they went down.

Currently, my mage is trying to decide whether to cure her vampire status (non-lord) or manage it. She's got a sharp knife for up close and magic for ranged mayhem. She did the Morthal devamping and is now heading to the mage college.

My assassin helped out the Grey-manes and the Battleborn old lady put a contract on her with cheap thugs. In response, my assassin slaughtered the entire Battleborn family (non-essentials). She's deciding whether to head for the Dawnguard or first hook up with the Dark Brotherhood.

My warrior got comfortable in Whiterun but has now gone to join the Legion and got her first assignment.

Mod-wise, I'm currently looking for some decent (not hooker) leather pants or skirt to go with some upper body gear I like.

Aw, thank you.

I'm guessing you're very selective with the storylines your characters follow? Like your mage going only to the mage's college and no other guild?

My first character (a lengthy but cliched story, since I did a lot and it's my most complete profile), without the Dawnguard storyline, since I'll wait until most people are done with it before posting spoilers:

Spoiler for saving space:

My agent (Oblivion class) was orphaned in Cyrodiil and can trace his lineage back to the Akaviri, despite contemporary knowledge stating that the Tsaesci consuming all humans inhabiting Akavir. Because of his different appearance from other Imperials/natives of Tamriel, he grew up rather isolated and managed to befriend only a Khajiit and two Argonians. The four of them decided to travel eventually. That led them to an ambush which would get the non-humans killed and my character imprisoned.

After reaching Whiterun, he was offered a place within the Companions, but because of his introverted nature, he declined but is now having second thoughts about the decision.
He had some magical talent, but he remembered setting the orphanage's headmistress' hair on fire by accident and got beaten to within an inch of his life, so since that incident, he shied away from magic of all forms.
Furthermore, he hated killing without good reason, so that eliminated the Dark Brotherhood. There was only one good fit for him; the Thieves' Guild, which satisfied his love for sneaking about. Stealing and pickpocketing made him feel slightly uneasy, but it was there he found some semblance of friendship in Brynjolf and loyalty to a group.

He couldn't really care for politics so he left the Imperials and Stormcloaks to their own devices, despite having come from Cyrodiil. Furthermore, he maintains a strong connection with the Greybeards, as they were his first real mentors. Despite that, he tends not to use his Thu'um unless it's the most desperate of situations. If there were a real world saying that applies to him best, it would "speak softly and carry a big stick". By stick, I mean a crossbow and a hatchet.

If he teamed up with your assassin, he'd be constantly trying to explain his way out of not getting killed, seeing as how my high sensitivity levels cause me to wildly miss shots occasionally. And those shots leave people dead. Or very, very angry.

My second character is a Breton paladin (I picked mainly because of the 25% passive spell resist because I'm a stat-whore for the most part). He's the leader of the Companions (purged of his beast blood) and would have joined the Mage's College, but upon meeting that one NPC who insisted that the other mages talk behind her back about Restoration, decided against it, as he agreed with her but didn't want to put up with such petty discrimination. And now he's off to join the Dawnguard, ready to bash some vampire faces in.
