So, I'm a vampire.

Well, that's killed the game for me. I'll come back to it when I can be arsed to do the buggy cure quest.

You could also just start a new file.

I once got hit with the vampire disease. Easiest cure is to NOT GO TO SLEEP and go to one of the Shrines (I used a Shrine of Arkay in Falkreath to cure myself) and it cured me instantly.

Only works if you have contracted the disease and you haven't slept since you got it.

Yeah, once you sleep, or you wait 72 hours, it becomes full vampirism. You can fix it before then by a cure disease potion even.

How is the cure quest buggy though? Just do it before your vampirism makes everyone hate you.

Mages guild over in Winterhold. While extremely valuable in doing those quests. One of the last bosses there is mean as shit and if you have that sign expect to die in one hit. I had to do some tricky shit and saved every HIT on that boss in order to take him down. Fuck Apprentice sign. Get The Lord Sign instead. Save yourself a lot of trouble

Pretty sure enemies scale with you to a degree, but certain areas have caps, some being higher than others. I dunno, there's still a scaling system, iirc, it's just been tweaked and isn't all-encompassing.

Also, Epic Glass Sword.

Yeah, I believe that the scaling has just been modified so you don't run into L80 bandits with full glass sets or something from A to B but still have horrible powerjerks in dungeon areas.

I think I'd rather fight level 80 bandits with full glass >.>

Although I like the challenge of fighting giants. Anyone fell a giant yet WITHOUT magic or exploiting AI?

Well, the problem was you'd still get the powerjerks in dungeons too

And my only Giant kills so far have basically been with Magic and kiting/hiding on rocks. Because, I'm a mage. That's what I do :o

I watched Kirb stealth kill one with backstab, sneaking off, then shooting it with his soul trap bow.

He was hunting for grand souls :V

Stealth Killing never really occured to me... DOH

Looks like I'm training one stat to 100 before I go out to the world again.

Already up to 69, currently running around with an enchanted Epic set of steel plate armor. Glass sword is next.

Though it's best to do it at a high level (I was 23 when I started, up to 26 after 40~ smithing levels) otherwise you'll level up like crazy, and some of the enemies will scale with you, meaning you'll get raped if you step foot into the wrong dungeon.

This was insanely helpful, thank you. D: I was running around in Fine steel for ages, because I've been neglecting smithing. Now, I have exquisite Orcish armor! You're a bro, Sponty.

Well, I'd have cured my vampirism, had I known about it. And I'm not going to start a new file; that'd just be silly.

Speaking of game-breaking, have you guys seen the Alchemy <--> Enchanting feedback loop that lets you make ridiculous anything, basically?

No I haven't. I've just done the smithing+enchanting = more smithing+enchanting.

Sounds like the evil cycle of mind-numbingness that plagues WoW.

*waits for Bitmap to arrive with a defense about how much he pwns*

So far I've got:
- a lv. 30-something Khajit sneak archer, making headway on the main quest while doing sidequests along the way;
- a lv. 15-ish Breton mage that wants to burn everything; and
- a lv. 12-ish orc melee fighter valiantly fighting against the Empire on the side of the Stormcloaks

Of course, since my Khajit has finished the Dark Brotherhood,

...

So how are your guys' playthroughs coming along?

I've got a L19 Breton Destruction/Conjuration/Restoration mage.

He's a drunk, head of the mage guild and is easily distracted by adventures into random temples and forts. He's also head of the mage guild. Whoo.

I've got a... level... something imperial rogue, who is running around being awesome.

And a Breton who uses weapons and magic who kills things!

Actually, as an aside can I say that I'm really enjoying all the Daedric quests I've encountered?

They're actually quite full of personality! It's really neat.
