Game: Skyrim

[Buffalobiian]

So knowing nothing about this game, if i didn`t liked Elder Scrolls 4, is there a chance i might like this?

Prolly. I wasn't a bit fan of Oblivion.

When snooping through an ancient fortress for a quest, I happened to release a prisoner. Now the fucking idiot is following me like a dog, ruining my sneaking action and as if that wasn't enough, he's always faithfully there to block my way so that when the enemies spot us, I can't back off from the fire and in fact act as a shield for the cretin. I think I'll do bills and relieve him from his fear of bad mages. Permanently.

See? Should have done what I did. I bet you know what I did. :P

@Ryll: wait till you get Shadow warrior, and perform the move in 3rd person. I didn't know exactly what it meant by "stops combat for a moment". Turns out, you actually go invisible for one second.

At long ranges like yourself, it forces people to lose you. For me, when I get tied up in close combat, I duck - go invisible - and 15x on him in that split second that he loses track of me.

It's useful WHEN I get found, but normally I just either sneak up on them from behind - or roll up really quickly in their face if they're looking at me and double-slice them before they're aware of me. The latter works too, since with high sneak it also affects how long they take to detect you after seeing you (in the dark/dungeons anyway - pretty sure daylight will may be different).

btw: has anybody encountered a dragon at night yet?

edit: Bethesda has announced at the official Elder Scrolls forums that the next patch for Skyrim is due to go live 'the week after Thanksgiving.'
