Alright, so.. I decided to finally get Skyrim. Was it worth the $60? The eye candy I’ve been seeing says it is.
\nBEAUTI..FUL art-like landscapes that can go on for miles. Water effects so realistic, I want to set up camp. And the fact you can go anywhere.
\nIt really immerses me into this game. And that, is worth $60. What’s even better is the trainer I’m using. It works, but it’s not perfect. As in, Unlimited Health doesn’t stop fall damage and critical strikes from a Giant.<\/p>\n
As to what I’ve been doing so far. Well, this would be Day 2 since I got it. I’ve been having alot of fun. I have slain a number of dragons, and had two random dragon encounters.
\nI have 6 dragon shouts so far, but 5: “Disarm”, “Ice Form”, “Kyne’s Peace”, “Whirlwind Spirit”, and of course “Unrelenting Force” are my favorite shouts. I have yet to learn how to find the upgrades to Disarm, Ice Form, and Kyne’s Peace. The wiki mentions something about quests.<\/p>\n
The two dragon encounters caught me off guard. Like the one where I was leaving Brood Cavern after doing another side quest. I was following the river. Then suddenly the ground shook. I’m all “What the fuck?!” and see a Blood Dragon behind me, breathing ice on me. Eventually the dragon got bored with me and flew off. I’ve seen a handful of bugs too. I’m not sure if it’s due to the way my video settings are set up. But here’s what I’ve seen so far; None of these are gameplay-breakers, except for one of not all intersections have directional signs. That’s good. So, that’s all there is to it. . Now, ingame, I have yet to learn this. Spoilers don’t bother me. I still want to learn this ingame. This “Call Dragon” shout you’re supposed to get sounds awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alright, so.. I decided to finally get Skyrim. Was it worth the $60?

\nThe second, I was heading back to Whiterun. And I see this dragon in the air flying over something. Turns out to be Adriun, the dragon who “saved you” at the start of the game. Now I’ve seen him do this before, but it was scripted. It’s when you find out the dragons aren’t just coming back–they’re coming back to life<\/em>. And the Dragonborn is the only one that can make sure they stay dead.
\nSo he does his thing and I’m fighting a named fire-breathing dragon. This time I don’t let him fly away and stand my ground. And he falls and I get his soul. I actually feel sorry for what I do, but I gotta remember..these dragons are evil<\/strong>. They’re true dragons. The ones in myth and legends. The ones that terrorize villages. And you’re the Dragonborn, the Dragonslayer.<\/p>\n
\n1. Rain\/Snow falling through outdoor building ceilings. Don’t be lazy, Bethesda…
\n2. Rain that can last for hours, then suddenly clear up. Or suddenly restart again when the sky is clear.
\n3. In some games, Sunrise starts around 5am. This one starts around 7am.
\n4. The horse I’m on, can disappear when I’m near walls the camera can’t reach. All you see is me riding an invisible horse. It’s kinda funny, though.
\n5. Speaking of horses, they go the same speed as you do on foot. Making them utterly pointless.
\n6. Dragon flying animations aren’t that realistic. I hate to say it, but Minecraft’s Enderdragon has better flying animations.
\n7. The map is awesome, but not really for navigational purposes. It doesn’t show roads. I’m having to rely on this<\/a> map. And even that sucks as the roads are barely visible. This<\/a> one however has all major roads, and looks better for navigation.<\/p>\n
\nAnd as I said before.. here’s the plot of the game according to the wiki. WARNING, SPOILERS..<\/strong>

\n(Spoilers here. You were warned)
\n.
\nTurns out that years ago, Dragons were worshiped as gods by the mortals (more like slavery). But one day, someone who can speak Draconic showed the humans the “Way of The Voice”, and the Dragon Wars started. And a lot of dragons were slaughtered during this war. The leader of the dragon menace, Alduin ‘the World Eater’, shows up to finish this war. Seeing how the humans could not defeat him, he was banished by what’s known as an Elder Scroll (which gave the game’s series its name), but they had no idea that he was flung into the future (over 1,500 years), when Skyrim started.
\nAnd now, Alduin seeks to reclaim dragon glory by resurrecting his brethren and make all humans pay for defying them, thus “the end times”.
\nBut that’s where you come in. As the Dragonborn, you’re the only one that can stop Alduin’s rise to power and save Skyrim.<\/p>\n
