Skyrim has stolen my life

I am now 100% addicted to Skyrim. I've officially played for an entire day. Unfortunately, I am not addicted because of the plotline but because of pickpocketing in the game. I got level 100 pickpocketing within a few hours and I am now enjoying stealing items from almost every npc in the game.
This game should be named GTA Skyrim.

This game really captures you into the world. I`ve done 100s of things including going into a wedding and assassinating the bride, turning into a were wolf and raiding towns, slipping a stolen item into someones pocket so hes blamed for it, swimming, escaping from a prison after being imprisoned by corrupt authority.
(this is only 5% of what i did, the rest i wont bother to add, but it was damn fun)

Coming up: Assassinating the emperor! But first i must kill his head guard, but first i must kill the head guards son and pin him for the plan to kill the emperor!
And finally to poison the emperor! And after that.... 1000 hours of more game play.

OMG I FORGOT THE MODS ARE COMING INFINITE CONTENT FTW!

Skyrim didn't have to steal my life. I gave my life up voluntarily.

But yeah the game is great! I've put in more hours in the game in the past week than I've put into maplestory in the past 3 months. I don't have any level 100 skills. Whenever I go somewhere to finish a quest I end up getting sidetracked cause I discover some new cave or crpyt. Or I find a new town which leads me to different quests.

I really love finding nifty armor in random places, I really take my time when search caves/dungeons. Sneaking is fun too, especially when you get that awesome feeling after you one hit some guy from behind.

Yes, but most people have no lives already.

its on the east side of the giant mountain in the middle of the map (you should be able to figure this out if you have the active quest) once you get there youll see a path that leads to high hrothgar but it takes a while to reach the top

Not sure if your kidding or just dumb..
You should play the game before judging it, IMO Skyrim is way way better fable.

I don't understand how you can get addicted to Skyrim. I got bored watching the trailer. I'm just rocking the MW3, if my mom wasn't home today I would be on it right now.

Did you kill the chicken in the town and ended up being attacked by the villagers?
I was hoping for a Zelda moment. ._.

[quote=bobscleric]Sup guys you seem to know allot about laptop specs n what not. I'm playing skyrim too and i love it! one problem is that i cant run the game to the extent that i want to. all the graphics have to be dropped to medium and it still has a bit of lag. I have an alien ware m17x. its about 2 years old and i was wandering if i should maybe upgrade the processor to an i7 quad core or get a better graphics card. (some times my comp just turns off idono if its cuz of my specs or what.) but here are my specs.
-Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9600 @ 2.80Ghz, 2801 Mhz
-8GB RAM
-GeForce GTX 260M, NVIDIA compatible 1GB
-64bit
-17inch display.

What do you think i should upgrade? and where should i get the parts and install it because i dont know how.[/quote]
graphics card.. Try getting at least a 560 and um get an i7 processor.

[quote=Blaquaza]I didn't raise stamina that much especially since there's a perk with heavy armor that makes it like light armor in terms of using stamina. There's perks that'll reduce magicka cost because I was wary about this too since I went with nearly the same build as you but instead of archery got alteration. I would invest more in HP and maybe some into magicka every so often. Once very 10 levels stamina is what I'm doing because by level 75 I would have 170 base stamina. Also, enhancements boost stamina, magicka, and health A LOT. I randomly found a chestplate that gave off 40 points into health and an amulet that gave 50 magicka.[/quote]
There's something that has been bothering me. IDK what is causing this but something is decreasing my 2H skill ability. It is as low as "25" and is red. What is happening?

[quote=swannaplz]@heyitsmexD: it's just in general desktops are superior, but if you need it for travel and it runs your games that's all that matters. [/quote]
Not if my specs equal those of desktops? Desktops just have better cooling and you can install sli easier

[quote=swannaplz]lol wait what, why would you build a gaming laptop? ssssssss[/quote]

Why not? It's not huge. I need it for traveling and mobility. It's not a heating issue either because I got a cooler for it.
@Aquaz copypasta here: "Battalion 101 P150HM 15.6" Full HD 1920x1080 Widescreen LCD TFT Laptop w/HDMI Port, eSATA port, fingerprint Reader, Li-Ion Battery, Universal AC Power Adapter - Original Metallic Black"

yes it is. The M on 580m signifies that it is a laptop component.

custom is often more cheap and you get better quality parts for lower prices versus premades.

oooh i know I read the tip on one of the load screens LOL. Where do you find said Dwarven ruins? I only have "Dwarven boots" which aren't so good haha.

indeed

@Blaquaza and where do you get these enhancements? Unfortunately i have not visited that place yet since I thought it wasn't a priority because I didn't go for magic. Oh yeah and I think I encountered one before. It was deep underground in this abandoned fortress near Morthal? It one shotted me =(

[quote=Blaquaza]Oh God Skyrim. 38 hours into it and I haven't even gotten that far into the lolplot (scared it'll be as bad as Oblivion's, but I haven't played a TES game for the plot since Daggerfall) Them Giants. I couldn't take a Giants attack and live until I was level 20 with Orcish armor. Dragons are cake. Mammoths and Giants? That's a different story.[/quote]

Dude the giants are annoying >:[ . They 1-2 hit me =/ Dragons are easy fosure. I am using 2h hammers + heavy armor. Is that a good combo? And where can I get better gear? I am currently using gear with my enhancements... The uh 2H elven sledgehammer thing which I renamed Stormreaver ^^ (47 attack) and my steel chest armor set stuff which is like 6x armor. I'm level 17 if that helps.
