I did all of the civil war quest yesterday (stormcloak) and now I'm thinking of finishing the dark brotherhood quest, I only just became 'the listener'.

As far as the main quest, I have yet to retrieve the horn of whatever...as I have about 20 side quests.

Level 17, thane in 4 towns, and I have 4 houses. Glass armor because I cheated to get it. =)

Love this game. Level 28, Archmage, Stormcloak campaign done, Theives Guild master. Couldn't be prouder.

If you want a quick way to make some cash, go to a dwarven ruin. Collect scrap metal, melt it down to make dwarven metal. Buy some iron, and leather strips. Craft dwarven bows. Sell for large profit. It has the added benefit of leveling up your smithing.

Curious, what system do you guys have it for?

I've played over 200 hours on Skyrim, reached Level 60-something (you can keep leveling apparently until all of your skills are at 100), and - except perhaps for a few minor non-quest-related dungeons I've missed - have performed almost every quest in the game except for marraige and being a vampire (I'm a werewolf in the game; I haven't tried finding a cure yet). Waiting for DLCs to come out before resuming, as mere dungeon diving is a tad dull.

Chris12 wrote:wait you play video games? :shock: :lol:

Certainly I do. I didn't enjoy RPs here because of their lack of structure and enforceable limits concerning invincible characters, but such problems do not exist with videogames, so I can enjoy them quite a lot. I've also played the earlier games in this series, Morrowind and Oblivion. Lately I have also been playing Fallout 3 and am now in themiddle of playing Fallout: New Vegas. :big:

Chris12 wrote: So? stormcloak or imperial?

I played both as different characters (one reason I've racked up over 250 hours playing, though most were with one character) but never finished the Stormcloak quests; I completed most quests as the charcter that sided with the Imperials.
If I ever resume playing the game it'll probably be as a new charcter who sides with the Stormcloaks, so that I can followup different choices than before (vampire instead of werewolf, and so on)

Chris12 wrote: Anyway i thought you can ''only'' level untill level 80

I don't know; even after 200 hours as a single characterI only got up to about Level 60. But as it takes more and more skill increases to achieve each further level up, maybe Level 80 IS the final level you reach when all your skills reach 100. As my more advanced character has nothing to do now but dungeon dive from here on though (until some DLCs come out to give him more interesting things to do), I'm not likely to find out for myself as there's no real incentive to do so; mere dungeon diving is kind of boring - especially for a Level 60 orc warrior. Also, I'm likely to start over with a new character if I play any new DLCs that come out anyway, so that the earlier quests are more fresh in my mind and I can concentate on different quests and goals - maybe as a combined thief/mage instead of a fighter just for the challenge of playing that (IMO fighters have it much easier than mages or thieves).

According to the guide book my mom(yes, my mom plays Skyrim) you can level all your skills to 100, which should get you to around level 100 overall.

I'm not sure that really relates; you can definitely level all your skills to 100, but I don't think that'll take you as far as Level 100. Even by Level 60 (when I stopped) it was taking a LOT of skill improvements to level up at all. I think Chris12's estimate of Level 80 is considerably more likely but, as I said, I haven't tried it for myself nor intend to unless some DLCs come out to make it worthwhile doing.
Has anyone here actually improved all their skills up to 100? Or even come close? I've only done it with four of them so far (Sneak, One-Handed Weapons, Heavy Armor, and Smithing), though I'm reasonably close in several others. Some though (mostly magical skills) I've still barely progressed in at all or am only so-so at.

What else do you guys want to see in the next expansion. Personally, i love the idea of mounted combat, and being able to build your own house.

I remember coming across that gate mentioned in the first part of this link myself - or, at least, one very similar to it. Funny though; from what I remember, it was at the southwestern end, not the southeastern. Maybe I'm misremembering where it was (it was only once, didn't think about it afterward, and this was nearly two months ago), but what if it was a different gate - potentially leading to Hammerfell?

Too late. After doing every other quest I could in Morrowind and its expanisions, I decided to simply kill *everyone* I encountered in the game, including King Helseth (he had a powerful magical ring that gave him loads of immunities, did you know that?) and Vivec himself! :big:
Seriously though, I think there was a 'book' in Oblivion that said he up and died or disappeared shortly after the events of Morrowind. Finding him might make an interesting challenge anyway though.

Never played Morrowind so i don't know Vivvic but since he's from Morrowind i assume he's an elf so he might still be availible for a visit :twisted:

Anyone else putting this game down for a while when the new Mass effect is released this week?
