Considering I'm new to anything Elder Scrolls ever, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Flyyyyyying, flying in the skyyyyyyy, cliff racer fliiiiiiiiies, so hiiiiiiiiigh, flyyyyyying!

Boom Shackalack: The only reason I'm buying more than one house in Skyrim is to get as many bookshelves as humanly possible. So no, you're not the only one!

Cool, even though I'm more apt to add them through Steam on my PC version of Skyrim.

People don't care if you joined the Empire of the Stormcloaks either.

That's one thing I didn't like about Skyrim, there's no real impact to what I do!

Try playing Oblivion. You can't walk outside the house without hearing some guard say "All hail the champion of Cyrodiil!" or something like that :lol

The city guards acknowledge it sometimes, but yeah - after how hard it is to kill Alduin in the first place...

Yea that's true i noticed some guards do acknowledge it, so that's cool. Anyway i'm about to start the Dawnguard DLC soon!   :)

They keep on calling me crazy for letting Odahviing go, failing to acknowledge that I killed Alduin twice and have a pet dragon at my beck and call (well, two pet dragons technically)

Yea that's what i thought to, i do not kill nice peoples.......maybe.

--WARNING SPOILER--
Anyway i just found a funny but annoying glitch in the Dawnguard DLC: I was rescuing the moth priest with Serena and something happend because he started attacking us after we rescued him and he kept on doing that even in Dawnguard when we met up with Isran he started attacking him. So you had to fight with him until he gave up but that led to you not able to complete the quest because he would not read the freakin Scroll bow downed.  >:(

So i found a solution:
https://uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Prophet_(Hunter)

and i had no other choice then to use the console command to finish the quest.

There is a pc mod that allows you to finish the quest without having to pick sidesz

I saw, it fixes what is essentially a pretty nonsensical part of the game, there is very little logic to it, I think it was meant to force people to make a difficult decision but...Yeah, not that difficult.

Ploughing through all of my school work to make sure I have plenty of time for Dragonborn!

First time I played Skyrim I went 1-hand, shield, heavy armor as my main combat. 

I restarted a few months ago using archery and destruction as main combat and, my lord, the game is SO MUCH more fun.  Melee combat feels so heavy and cumbersome but ranged, especially archery, is so smooth.  I have the +bow damage on all my gear and I one shot almost everything (with enchanting and smithing upgrades)  I love when i am getting swarmed then I switch the destro and burn/electrocute like a mad man.

This game is freaken endless.  Already two xpacs are here and I haven't finished the original content yet.  Luckily the game is designed so new content can be added without messing with old content.  I am doing all the old quests with that vampire chick as my companion.

Definitely one of the best games I ever played.  If only I could get the graphic add-ons to work properly.  I have a powerful computer but the vid card driver doesn't seem to sit well with the graphical addons.

Agreed. Bows are really fun in Skyrim. Melee combat isn't that great. Plus, brute characters are still just as prone to being slain by random lightning bolts and anyone else, which kinda always leaves you vulnerable. I play as what's probably considered a battlemage: I wear heavy, enchanted armor, but usually conjure beings and weapons for fighting, as well as using destruction spells.

I didn't really like bows in Skyrim because I played it on a console, and I think it doesn't work nearly as well. I'm playing Oblivion at the moment on PC and absolutely loving being a marksman, and I agree it's much more fun than melee combat.

I'm thinking of getting Skyrim on PC in the next Steam sale, think I'll enjoy it more.

There is really no end to all the side missions in Skyrim, i panic sometimes when realizing all the side quests i haven't done yet and i'm also the type of player that have to check every freakin treasure chest and passageway not to miss some hidden areas. So it's pretty time consuming to say the least.  :lol

Btw I just finished Touching The Sky and that is one long and epic quest!

It's really time consuming. I've started on my, what, 5th character? yesterday. I'm also really trying to get all the achievements, but lvl 75 to encounter a legendary dragon, that's a long way...

And yes, Touching The Sky is an epic quest.

Touching the Sky was incredible, and I think I have a virtual girl crush on Serana.

Schools having a snow day, I thought 'Oh god couldn't be better timing, Dragonborn is released today'. I get home and check my pre order on Steam, and it says it's not being unlocked for another 9 hours or something :(

Snow day and Skyrim? Damn you are lucky even if you have to wait 9 hours.
