Those are notes, not guests, so you have to recognize the area from the drawing.

Thanks for the hint, Archi. I like using Q because it gives you some breath during fights and you can refocus and choose a matching weapon.
I didn't knew that you can "program" your weapons, so I'm definately going to try that out once I'm back home tomorrow.
Searing your foes with the flame spell and then bashing their skull with an axe just rules! :D
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Anyone here who thinks that the wights with glowing blue eyes is a Song of Ice And Fire reference? ;)

Actually, there are few more, but I'd rather not spoil (how minor it might be) the game and the novels.

I have noticed quite a few references to Martin's works too. :) Some of the book titles you come across for instance (always multi-volume XD). Ice wolfs? All the major houses behave like the houses of Westeros, and have their own animal sigils... I think Bethesda employee's are likely fans. I might mention that the whole college is like a reference to another book series many people tend to read. ;)

I am very intrigued by the dwemer ruins I've come across so far. I dont remember anything about them from Oblivion.

Another thing I've noticed is the adoption of many of the most popular features from Oblivion mods. For instance the crates and stuff open when used and tell you if they're empty, ingredients disappear when harvested (in fallout I know), there's a decapitation perk at higher levels that came from the Deadly Reflexes Omod...

My adventures in Skyrim have unfortunately been put on hold, while I seek out ventilation equipment for my PC...the heat is giving me Blue Screens.

Are you able to play BF3, Archi? My whole laptop can be used to BBQ half a cow after playing BF3  :)

So I looked at my bank balance and decided: 'what the hell, might as well spend my student loan on something - it's not like I spend it on food or anything'.

Will report back when stuff is downloaded and I've started playing.  This might be the final kick that gets me off Vista-32 and onto 7-64 and more memory and better GPU

It DOES ;D

Going more mage now, ditched the armor and I still do ok. But I still carry my poisoned axe. In other news: Trolls regenerate health, quickly, beware. Dragon over Whiterun, but it didn't attack, which I found even more startling than an actual attack ;)

I was seeing gameplay vids...and a player was investigating a fire in a house in a very distant town. He was suddenly asking what happened, guard said it was bad luck to talk about deceased people in the town, and suddenly they shout DRAGON! And the player looked left and there was this big ass dragon spitting fire everywhere.

It was epic!

Mining my way to freedom from Cidhna Mine after being arrested by the corrupt Markarth Guard. Later cleared my bounty with the city by means of a bounty collector.
