Yes. But on the other hand I'm making a video using max/msp, which is rather more like chewing pure liquorice pulp.


Should I be spending my precious time playing minecraff jnstead?

I bought it a week ago. It's not normally my type of game with wizords and shit. But so far it's rather enjoyable. I will get bored of the wizords at some point though

i probably have over 300 hours in my game now. i'm a lv 60 Nord :D
Go ahead and try to quest, you'll be sidetracked constantly by caves, mines and other things to investigate.
A few tips that may help you on your way:
making money looks hard, but isn't hard at all. Once you have Riften, the college of winterhold and Whiterun, you can make cartloads of money by smitting and later enchanting.
simply buy up all the iron and steel in Whiterun (there's 3 blacksmiths in total) and make iron/steel daggers. Enchant them (enchanting table is in the castle, in the right chamber) using a petty soulstone. it'll now be worth around 300 gold and it costs about 100 gold to make. This is also a good way to level your smitting and enchanting fast.
while playing, you'll soon be too strong for normal draugrs. When you run into one (asuming you have a shield), back yourself in a corner and just block, you'lll have 100 block in no time.
last one, early stages it may also pay off to have heal equipped to your left hand and a sword on the right. hacking away at your enemies is slower, but you're constantly upping your restoration skill.
hope this helps!

*edit*
i see i forgot to say why riften and the college are important......
riften's not that important actually, but has a blacksmith that you can easilly find who usually carries a lot of iron ingots. the college has tons of stores, all selling soulgems (empty and filled ones).

You don't need to be a high level dragonslayer to get Skyrim's best armour. Just a patience, gold and a couple of hours to spare. But that's just one piece of the game's immense jigsaw puzzle.

Skyrim is one of the most staggeringly deep RPGs ever made, and seeing everything it has to offer will take more hours than we dare estimate. Between us, the CVG team have clocked up well over 200 hours, and the following tips are some of the most useful lessons we've learned along the way.
1. How to craft Daedric armour
Watch in HD 3 comments

Daedric armour might look like something you get at the end of the game, but any character at any level can craft their own full set with only two hours and a few thousand gold to spare. Follow the step-by-step process below and you'll never have to worry about armour ever again.

* Visit the blacksmith in Windhelm and buy up all of his iron ingots and leather strips. Wait 48 hours for his inventory to refresh and repeat.
* When you have a decent amount of iron, go to a forge and start crafting iron daggers. As you create them, you'll notice your smithing rapidly gaining levels. Your character should also go up a few levels. If you have any gear that boosts smithing, like an amulet or gauntlets, wear them. If you have any smithing potions, drink them.
* Keep smithing daggers until your smithing reaches 100. This will take around 500-600 daggers. If you run out of ingots or leather strips, get more from the blacksmith.
* Every time your character levels up as a result of smithing, use the perk points to upgrade your smithing skill tree. Go from steel to Dwarven to Orcish to Daedric.
* If, after reaching 100 smithing, you don't have enough perk points to reach the Daedric crafting skill, continue playing the game until you level up naturally.
* First you'll need some Daedra hearts. Each piece of the armour - helmet, gauntlets, boots and chest plate - need one heart each. Head to the College of Winterhold and find an elf called Enthir. He's usually found in the Hall of Attainment. Talk to him and buy two Daedra hearts (that's all he has on him at any one time). Wait 48 hours for him to restock, and then buy two more.
* Now you'll need some ebony. Go to Gloombound Mine (see the attached video). To get inside you'll either have to help the Orcs in the stronghold with a super easy quest, or just fight your way in. It's quicker to do the quest.
* Once the Orcs let you through the gate, head towards the mine entrance. Handily, there's a full set of blacksmith tools outside. We'll need them later.
* There are no enemies in the mine - just lots and /lots/ of ebony. Make sure you have a pickaxe (there are a few lying around inside) and start mining the ebony veins. Clear the place out, and ignore the aggressive-sounding Orcs; they won't attack you unless provoked.
* Outside, use the nearby smelter to turn the ebony ore into ebony ingots. You should now have more than enough to craft the full set of Daedric armour.

just getting deadric armor isn't really enough. you need to first create an armor with high smitting skills, smitting potions and enchanting potions, thén you can start making your deadric armor.
my outfit has 1359 def in total and it's still not up to max.

I'm a level 10 kaljeet, specialities are lock picking and archery. I'm leaning towards the rebels, and have got some half decent looted kit that ive enchanted. My now my bow and arrow does some kind of magical zap to foes unfortunate enough to cross my path. Except for those fucking witches... They beat the shit out of me.

My mate has told me that this game is wicked and I was planning on buying it next, once I've finished the new Batman game. However, after reading this thread I don't think I could handle all the hogwarts bullshit. Buying iron and making daggers??? Sounds like being stuck in a boring job.

I'm up to 160 hours (level 36) and havn't done any smithing or enchanting. Have read some stuff about enchanting being fucked somehow - where you can create weapons that are so hardcore that you can beat the final boss with one hit on the hardest difficulty setting.

Tis a great game - some of the glitches and bugs are major spin-outs though.

it's just one of the many options you have for developing your character, but it's optional. If you don't like it, you'll find plenty of hardcore armor and weapons along the way.

Yeah man, I've done none of that stuff. Built my character up by clearing dungeons and stuff.
