Well, necromancer lady trying to raise an undead army had gathered quite a lot of draugrs of various strength. Just not enough to stop Drusilla. :sneaky: Her traps were bothersome though. J'Zargo kept triggering them. :\

You can sneak behind them, pickpocket their briar heart and it's instant death with a nice AAAH!! sound. Then you see the hole in their chest where the briar heart was before you stole it.

Epic!

start with nude patch I assume? :sneaky:
but it gets old VERY fast. however better than "underwear" version.

 

[dennilfloss]

I think the metal bikini mod would be more appealing than full nudity.

 

[dennilfloss]

Gonna get Drusilla the resurrect thrall spell soon to get her a permanent powerful zombie slave follower. If that can resurrect dragon priests, she'll eventually walk around with two atronachs or dremora lords or dragon priests as minions... Or maybe a pair of giants...

*power corrupts*:sneaky:

Absolute wow! This game never ceases to amaze me. I just fell down a chasm like Gandalf at Zahad Dum, it seemed like I would never reach the bottom until I entered a deep pool of water. Now I have to make my way up from seemingly the root of the mountain. Ubercool!

What ancient evil lurks beneath? D:

I tried that but it didn't seem to work. I selected something harmless like visit the shrine of azura and it didn't show up on the map

Oh!! I added all the location on the Jarl's map at whiterun; and now I can visit the shrine ! I'm going to be a holy thief !

bring up journal, select quest (highligh) you wanna do, press M to show on map.

go there kill everything and loot everything.

Jeebus... They're coming out of the walls!!! They're coming out of the friggin' walls!!! D:

Haha, were you fighting a creature while you fell down the chasm, and then kept fighting as you made your way back to the surface?

 

[dennilfloss]

Na. But I felt like yelling Admiral Ackbar's most famous phrase...

IT'S A TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP....

*splash*

I did have to fight stuff on the way back up. And the bats scare me each time.

Killed a hawk in a cave full of bears . That yielded a hawk beak and three feathers. There were two hawks flying in there. Now only one. And a nest maybe...

i ended last night disappointingly with a ctd. now i have all day and most of the night to wait until i can get back in game... ahh well, hopefully won't be too tired to play tonight, this game is just awesome.

still gotta mod it up some too.

I just fought an abnormally tough frozen dragon It was Drusilla, her two storm atronachs, J'zargo and some rebel archer marauders in a fort nearby all going at it and this guy took A LOT of punishment before he died.]

Now at level 32. 80 hours played.

 

[dennilfloss]

Think the game is too easy? Try facing a dozen or so elder dragons at once. Surviving this would be like a Klingon rite of ascension. Love watching that horde flying about napalming the countryside.

Small screenie of my current setup. Dragonscale is modded with this retexture.

I mentioned this earlier in this thread. I was randomly exploring and came upon that location, and thought it was really cool the entire experience inside there. I was trying to give as few details as possible as not to spoilerize anything.

And one more, cuz I don't think I could get another arrow in a nostril even if I was trying...

using the console only disables achievements for that game session right? I had to use it to get me unstuck from a door =\

 

[VulgarDisplay]

Anyone with crashing issues should install this.

After using this mod I haven't had a single CTD. I played for about 5 hours straight with no crashes. I used to crash every 20 minutes or so.

I don't think achievements get disabled at all, actually. I had to use a command for a similar purpose and I still got an achievement that session.

You can use the console, but you can't enable cheats. Noclip is a cheat so you may be hosed.

I don't think that's true: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/q/37695

Keep in mind I'm not near my gaming machine so I can't test it personally, but the evidence that I am finding seems to indicate that the use of any of the commands doesn't have any negative side-effects regarding achievements.
