Big Boss Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 ^5 arrows and one shout unlocked? So you are playing side quests only I guess. That means you must have completed many dungeons AND you are missing the wording stones in the dungeons. Quite a shouts are already missed by you then. I suggest you should go to Grey Beards first so that you can unlock the shouts in the dungeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Join the companions.They provide you with a bed and a chest where you can store your stuff. Edited December 30, 2011 by AngerSmash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are infinite dragons in the game (even after you finish the main quest) so practically an unlimited supply of Bones and Scales. Edited December 30, 2011 by sup bro?

mango_man Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Is there a proper technique for sword play (combat) with a shield? I could really use some tips or tutorial videos on combat! And how to effectively use two-handed weapons or weapon + magika combo or both hands magika combo! The game is ruthless and there is no help or prompts whatsoever! I wanna brach out to magika n stuff but I'm clueless how to use it effectively... I just reachd greybeards. Did 2-3 sidequests yet. Edit- First thing I did was I bought a Horse! Edited December 30, 2011 by aman-is-here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikushimi Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) This isn't Dark Souls, there are no advanced techniques for sword play. Just the normal swing and the power attacks. If you're getting pwnd, retreat, level up, come back and curb stomp. Edited December 30, 2011 by Catalyst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're getting pwnd, retreat, level up, come back and curb stomp. I'm not getting pwned actually. Game's ruthless as in- it doesnt prompt. But just mindless sword swinging is getting boring. 1 technique I learnt with shield is that when enemy tries to attack, hit him with the shield instead of just blocking. Hitting him with the shield interrupts his move & you don't lose any health that you would if you had only blocked. No more techniques/cheap tactics? & how to use magika effectively?

WhiteWolf Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Dude PS3 version has lot of issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 All right, about the PS3 issues. I played Skyrim for about 25 hours, around 50% of time I did main quests and remaining were for side quests. I didn't install any patch as I thought that I will install it only if I face any issues. Now, my save file size became 7.8 mb and the game started to stutter and had random freezes after 1-1.5 hrs of gameplay. So, I decide to install 1.3 patch. After the installation, I played the game for 3-3.5 hrs straight, there was no stuttering at all (very minor, that too during day time and in crowded areas). Here are the changes I observed after 1.3 patch installation: 1. The autosaves are fast, not temp freezes at all. 1.0 Skyrim had slight freezes while autosaving. 2. The saving process is changed. In 1.0, once you clicked on save, the save bar used to go from 0 to 20% (slight pause), then 80%(slight pause) and then 100%. (these percentages varied as per your save file size increase) Now, after 1.3 patch, the save bar goes from 0% to 99% (slight pause), and it saves. So they surely have made some changes to saving system. 3. The graphics ARE DEFINITELY lowered after 1.3 patch. It looks like they removed QXAA or reduced it. The jaggies are more apparent, and water looks less realistic. The HDR is either toned down or removed completely. But still, the game looks good, and non graphics w***** wont even notice it. The overall smoothness is worth the downgrade. I hope Eurogamer does some graphical analysis post 1.3 patch. 4. The NPCs sometimes stop speaking. You have to approach them again and initiate the dialogue. Also, the dragons are flying normally and give Dragon Souls without any problem. So no 1.2 patch bugs as some people experienced. This is my observation after 3-3.5 hrs of gameplay post 1.3 patch. I will post some more if I observe any more changes. The game is great, but would have been super awesome if we didn't have to care about such issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
