I can’t believe I’m still playing this game! Thought I would of gotten bored and went back to Minecraft or WoW.
\nBut, I’m not bored. Well I don’t think I’m bored. I try to find things to do. And I guess there’s something about Skyrim I like, compared to other freeplay games.
\nHowever, the game also had alot of potential to be even more epic, but Bethesda was either too lazy, or found it impossible to do. Such as, having a staff that will transform you into a dragon for a short time. Here you can breath fire and stuff like a dragon. So why didn’t they let you BE one? Or even have Odahviing fly you to where you wanna go.<\/p>\n
Well, I got TCL (aka noclip) that gives me “flight mode”. So, who needs wings? And now it’s even better, thanks to this mod that can modify player sprint speed. I set the “Player\/NPC Sprint” value to 1500. The default sprint speed is 400. I’m now able to move as fast as a dragon can fly. The bad thing about it, if I sprinted while on the ground I’ll probably run into a tree or up a mountain by mistake.
\nI’ve also had the game crash on me twice since doing this.
\nBut when this “Creation Kit” (aka the SDK) comes out, it’s promised that there will be dragon flying mods out there.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’ve been still getting the shouts. So far I have about four shouts fully upgraded. But running back and forth between dungeons (they’re called Tombs in this game) is getting a bit tiring.
\nAnother thing about dungeons, some of them require you be part of a specified group to enter it. However, I can still do them but I gotta use noclip (TCL) to access doorways only opened when the player has the quest. This is how I managed to get Fire Breath fully upgraded.<\/p>\n
I managed to get a second house. One in Riften. And I didn’t even have to become the Thane of that zone. There’s a mod that can “move” this house to a mountain, WNW of Riften, and near the dragon lair Autumnwatch Tower.<\/p>\n
I also did manage to kill that damn Blood Dragon who flew away from me before. Nearly the same location. I had just Fast Traveled to Robber’s Gorge and saw him freezing away at something East of me. Soon he saw me and attacked again. And I finally got his scaly ass.
\nSo far I haven’t encountered a Frost Dragon (that is actually named “Frost Dragon”), or an Ancient or an Elder dragon. Not even a Skeletal dragon. Maybe this is best, but I wish I could.<\/p>\n
. I’m using more mods now. Deadly Dragons, and Dragons in the Wild. Both, as you can tell, give me more fun against my winged fire-breathing foes. Dragons in the Wild, adds walking dragons in various areas. They don’t “give you” their souls like random encounters would. What they do is just walk around minding their own business. They will fly up and attack you like a random dragon encounter if you get too close, or attack them. But that has lead to another issue. But a rather funny one. Where The Companions hang out, there’s two people there who are named “LOOKUP FAILED!”. It’s quite funny when I complete a quest for them, and I see “Return to LOOKUP FAILED!”. I asked how I can fix this, and someone posted a rather drastic way to do it. And it makes me cringe. Here I finally<\/strong> got Dragons in the Wild working again, and one of the steps is to, purge (as in delete) my saves. And clear the mods out of the save. Which is impossible since Dragons in the Wild stays in the save. But to delete my save… after what I just went through in Markarth (seriously, it feels as if I’m playing two games at once. Killing dragons, and winding up in prison for crimes I never committed). Fuck that. I rather deal with the issue. I do NOT feel like doing the main questline a third time.<\/p>\n Also been told to use this “BOSS” thing which will load mods in a specific priority. I don’t know what priority to use, as both mods don’t require it.<\/p>\n . There’s really not much else I can do, though. All the “do work for The Companions” are repeat quests. I’m doing the same “clear out cave of mobs” quest several times. Besides, Minecraft is boring now.<\/p>\n I have found something else that will hope to entertain. #2 on the most downloaded mods list of Skyrim Nexus; Dovahkiin Hideout. Not only does it gives the player a load of custom storage and shit, but “portals” to every player house. All you need is the key to them. The hideout also has a dungeon, which has a shrine to the dragons and dragon priests, which is sometimes seen during level loading (however there’s a bug with this that it’s not showing the Dragon Priests. It does on level loads). And in a room, it has statues that you can put collected Dragon Priest masks in instead of selling them. That’s cool. I can’t believe I’m still playing this game!

\nEdit — 2\/7\/12<\/strong>: First off, I’ve been doing guild-related quests since I am… ok, I’ll admit it. I’m getting bored.
\nSo far I’ve completed The Companions, the College of Winterhold, and the Thieves Guild. The Thieves Guild quests weren’t as bad as I thought they were. All of them are mellow and don’t involve assassination. That’s the Dark Brotherhood’s territory. I had fun with all of them.<\/p>\n
\nDeadly Dragons makes dragons tougher to kill — the way “they should of been” to some people. But it also adds different types of dragons which offer more awesome challenges. Like a Magma Dragon who can unleash flaming meteoroids from the sky.
\nThe mod also has other features, like making all of your followers immortal, offering new crafting options, and WoW-like Dragonslayer gear sets.<\/p>\n
\nThis is how I met my first Ancient and Elder dragons. But anyway, this mod also has a history. As in, I believe it was causing all<\/em> dragons to suddenly, stop showing up all together.
\nI tried to reinstall and do a new game, and that has gotten it.<\/p>\n
\nThis is a known issue. The common way to fix this is making sure your install matches the install of Steam’s servers. Well, mine does. And it’s still happening.<\/p>\n
\nTomorrow, the Creation Kit is coming out. The author hopes to make a fix for this where it will clear it out of the save, since people are reporting of still seeing walking dragons after deleting the mod.<\/p>\n
\nBut as I was saying before, yeah I’m getting bored. But I feel putting this game down and playing another is wrong, since I became interested in it and I should play it to the very end. It feels as if this is the only “true dragon-related game”. And it is better than WoW. Yet WoW is better than it with the fact you can become a dragon.<\/p>\n
\nTo get the key, you gotta do things for the townsfolk. Help them out. And in return, the Jarl will permit you to purchase property in his or her city. It’s different from what it was in Oblivion, where you can just walk right in and say “I wanna buy this house!”.<\/p>\n
\nHopefully this will keep me entertained a bit longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
