Happy Playing

Yankee Clipper, I have deleted all saves except for 2. Every once in a while a corrupt save shows up which I also delete. I have also disabled all auto saving. It helps but after a couple of hours the game starts lagging and then freezes.

Yankee, is your game up to date with patches?

Wow, three threads chock full of Skyrim! We are a chatty bunch, aren't we?

There is a lot to chat about

True. It's a huge game and sometimes I feel like I've just barely scratched the surface of it and that's after playing 137 hours. I love this game although I have to say, I don't think it's going to take Fallout 3's place in my heart. Over 300 hours I spent playing that game and I can still go back to it from time to time and discover things that I never knew existed in it.

Hey Anne G. Thanks for being so gracious about helping me with modding when the time comes. I really appreciate it!

btw---I know what you mean. I love Skyrim, especially its size and beauty, but for me, Oblivion will always be THE Bethesda game that grabbed me and won't let go. sigh....

I'm really enjoying myself too. I haven't done a heck of a lot yet but it's fun. I've cleared out a few places, killed some bandits, joined the companions and now may go look at a dragon.

I just found out a house in Whiterun is 5000 gold! I'm going to have to hire myself out as a mercenary to get the money.

How do I plant the incriminating letter on Gaius Maro's body? I have killed him, but can not figure how to plant the letter. The Dark Brotherhood-Quest Breaching Security.

JeanK, don't forget to repair, improve, enchant weapons and armour before selling them. I didn't realize I could get more cash by doing that. And loot loot loot.

Kazz, I haven't done that quest line yet...but I know we have members who have so hopefully one of them will be along. You can't just drop it on him?

0.o I forgot all about repairing. I haven't been to anyone yet that offered to repair. Who does it? Or do I have to get that skill somewhere.

I guess I should learn enchanting. That will be useful.

I just got killed over and over by that dragon near Whiterun, but I'm only level 6 so I guess I'll go level up a bit more before tackling him again.

Jean, you can do your own repairing at a smiths...you might want to put points in there. I did cos I like to be self sufficient.

You learn enchants by disenchanting items at an enchanting table. There is one in Dragon's Reach next to the Alchemy table in the castle.

The best way to kill a dragon is to get other folks to take the close up hits and use ranged capabilities and heal yourself, alot. (At least, that worked for me in the lower level)

Finally got it planted, do not know how I did it, just kept playing with it until I accidentally hit the right key. Would like to know the correct way to do this without all the trial and error, if someone would please post the correct steps. I am sure this action will appear again in game play.

Kazzmo you plant things on a body the same way you put things in a chest. Open the body with your action key (default E) and then highlight the item from your inventory and then transfer it with the "R" key.

Kazzmo, to plant objects you SEARCH(E) the body if it's dead (then you drop it from your inventory to his/her inventory)and you can also sneak and PICKPOCKET(E) if the person is alive. Instead of taking something you just move the item fron your inventory to theirs.

Some of the passing comments you overhear are funny. As I walked by someone I heard them say I smelled like a wet dog. I should have shook myself and become a werewolf to teach them some manners. Now I'm cured of lyncanthropy.
