If you think those people are annoying, I'd like you to meet Noober.

Quite literally the most annoying NPC ever conceived.

I noticed a lot of recycled voices as well. But it isn't so bad as in Oblivion.

Walking through Whiterun, that fucking lady: "Looking for my husband, Nazeem?..." I've heard it A THOUSAND times, run into my house. She fucking follows me into my house: "...check the Jarl's backside, that's usually where he stuffs himself" *kindly leaves* Is the annoying repeated dialogue really that important that NPC's will follow you into your house to finish their line? I REALLY wish they would have gotten rid of the whole "NPC's randomly saying the same shit every time you get near them and continuing to talk to you even if you walk off" thing. At least they seem to have gotten rid of the "NPC's staring at you when you're close" thing. That shit was just creepy. I always remember when I first brought Martin and Jauffre to Cloud Ruler Temple and The Blades line up for Martin. There was always the one Blade that would smile and stare at me during the entire ceremony just because I was standing close to him.

If it's anything like Oblivion, I'll want to do several playthroughs as well. I'm a little less compelled to do that now though, seeing as we have access to all the skills anyway, but I'd like to play through as a Breton mage as well, which is my usual second character in TES games.

The achievements seem pretty doable for this game. I think I'm going to do that as well.
Problem is, the first companions achievement bugged out for me and I didn't get that.

It is just as bad as Oblivion. Still, I laugh every time I hear Arnold Schwarzenegger sound-alike.

Nope, only the guy in Whiterun that is always shouting about Talos and everything.

Yea. For the most part it's a case of time rather than effort. I think the only achievements that I might struggle with are the one that included pickpocketing 50 times and the other that requites a 1000 bounty in all the holds. Not that either will be particularly hard, but I'll have to intentionally try to get them, rather than them coming to me naturally.

Is it wrong that I keep wanting to cheat on Aela? I keep seeing women more attractive than her, and she has an annoying voice.

She may have to die soon.

My bounty didn't go up at all when I killed him, although everyone else around had already been assassinated. I also captured his soul in a black soul gem I had with me, his soul is the prize of my obscene collection of stolen goods, dragon claws, statues of naked goddesses (why is Dibella portrayed as being nude?), and death masks of ancient priests. Maybe I should consider getting a new hobby.

You hobby sounds wonderful. I collect the dragon claws too. But I only decided to AFTER I sold the diamond one. I never saw it again...

I thought about displaying this stuff around my house but the one time I tried with one of the statues I couldn't find it when I went back home. Apparently my housecarl had knocked it to the floor somehow and it went across the room into a corner, I don't trust her with my stuff anymore but I just don't want to waste the time it would take to kill her and risk getting a bounty if she somehow survives the first attack.

Why is Dibella the only goddess you can find a statue of? And why are there so many of them?

Also where do I find those fancy nirnroot grapes? I've only found one so far, and I remember seeing one before I got the quest and I didn't pick it up.

I've already said that Elder Scrolls VI should be in Elseweyr and Valenwood. But I think the plot should be a war between the Bosmer and the Khajiit. You start the game as a war captive in the middle of a negotiation, then someone fires and arrow and all hell breaks loose. You wake up in a house in a small village between the two provinces, and you've lost your memory. Meanwhile villages are being destroyed with no witnesses to say what happened. (Which turns out to be a Falmer uprising.) You have to uncover the mystery behind yourself and the Falmer, whilst uncovering many conspiracies.

I would love a chance to see the Falmer return to power and a mer empire created when the 5 types of mer people ally together and conquer Cyrodil. Odds are that the next TES game will be on the next gen consoles as well so the available hardware will be much more powerful than current gen giving them a chance to make a game larger and more detailed than even Skyrim has been.

Help me out here, bros. I want to start a second character, and I love the roleplaying aspect, so I want to make a druid character. I envisioned a druid in Oblivion, but it never quite worked. I just happened to remember the druid idea and I'm sure Skyrim can fullfill it.

So help me out here. What race would work best? What skills should I focus on? What armor, if any, should I wear? If you're not sure what I'm talking about, a druid is basically a wizard of nature. Kind of a cross between mage and hunter.

Ideas, everyone?

I would suggest either being a Bosmer or Breton as they both get some bonus to magic and Bosmer have a bonus to archery which would go with you're hunter side, then fur armor (especially enchanted armor that boosts magic skills) would be best for you.

I agree with all of this. Except for the Breton part. A Bosmer's connection with the wild would be ideal for a druid. Focusing on conjuration magic would be ideal, since you can conjure animals and animal spirits. And maybe Spriggans. I'm not sure though.
