I'm lv 38/39 mage, similar except I haven't got my conjuration up yet.  Working on it now.  It seems to do very well, but I have a feeling around lv50 magic may run into a bit of trouble as far as the crowd control stuff and damage goes.  Maybe I'm wrong though.  I just notice my relative power with destruction magic seems to be going down a bit the higher I get.

Slowly but surely im starting to piece the plotline all together concerning the Importance of the Empire, the Threat of the Thalmor, And the Reasoning behind the stormcloaks.


And i must say, Bethesda are masters at creating a deep storyline. Nothing is ever 100% clear. Sometimes, You'll complete an action, and still be left wondering "was that really the best choice..?"

Im started to grow a little bit of sympathy for the stormcloaks after learning about the markath incident. Ulfric is still an ego-tistic arse tho.

be arrested after completing the mission in markath that involved the forsworn and you investigating  the killing in the market.


At the end, the guards will frame you for murders, When your given the option choose to go quietly. You'll  Be locked in the jail Mine. There you can talk to a guy with the nickname "unlucky".Do his little miniquest, and you get one.

Dont get your hopes up tho. nothing special. Just a little hidden blade that does very little damage.

Ah, being a Nord, I don't particularly like the Forsworn, especially after they tried to kill me several times just for walking to Markath, and one of their crazy agents almost killed an innocent woman right infront of me. (I saw the knife just in time and was in perfect position and just smashed his face in with my shield and then gutted him.  Very lucky I was almost overloaded and she looked like a merchant.)

After going through the quest to find out who was behind that I decided I wasn't going to play the game of prisoners and just beat that orc feller into a pitiful green pulp.  Walked in on the King of the Forsworn, decided he was one of the branches of the roots of my problems and promptly beat him to death with my bare Nordic fists while shouting fire at him.

Killed him, stole his key, and walked out a free man with a pardon from the Silver Bloods and a nice little +smithing ring.

I just got done with that mission. I helped them all escape. Mainly because i was unsure how to get my precious blade's items back. But afterwords, i followed them to the cave they were at, and promply slew them all.


The forsworn are a sensitive topic in Skyrim. In all rights, they ARE the rightful rulers of the Reach. they WERE there first.

BUT, they are mostly deadra worshipers. and despise the Aedra divines, and all those who believe in them. And deadra worshipers cannot be aloud to spread their influence. therefore the Forsworn cannot be aloud to control the reach.

Im finishing up things in markath before i return to windhelm. Its an interesting city and im partly enjoying my stay. But something about it...the location, the atmosphere, just makes me think their's some ancient evil lieing dormant deep under the city.


And knowing the Dwemer, there probably is.  :uhoh

Yes, the Falmer have been trying to destroy Markath for some time.  You find this out as you explore the Dwemer ruins for the court mage, and you realize the automated Dwemer defenses have been keeping them out for years.

Oh man, Everytime I go somewhere I've got people trying to kill me. I got like 4 bounties on my arse. From the thalmor to the Brotherhood. I havent joined that group, and didnt plan on it this run through. Looks like I might not have a choice now though. Still trying to figure out who put the hit on me. Was taking out bandit group when i got backstabbed.
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

I cave into peer pressure pretty fast...  That's why I'm a Daedra worshiping warewolf cannibal thief assassin...  I'm going to Oblivion for this.

Well I have 3 characters all in mid 30's level. I've won both sides of the civil war (things start to go sour if Ulfric wins though) I've had one character play though the throat of the world quests, is trying to hammer out a truce to stop the fighting.

I'm ticked that the Thalmor have zero time or patience for another high elf, or imperial.
In fact I'm about ready to go Rambo on all of the Thalmor period.

Tried bringing 1 character up as pure mage, but it takes a bit more forethought and planning.

Loving working my smith/enchanting skills up till I can make Dragonscale light armor with dual enchantments on each piece.

Fav mods, essential horses, unlimited Amulets, and no perk pereq's.

Yes the horses are a bit overmodded in Skyrim, they will go places that a mountain goat would think twice about.  As to the Amulets, in theory, a person should be able to wear 8 rings and hang as many amulets and necklaces around their neck that they are willing to put up with (Mr T style)

But mods imo won't really kick off till they release the creation kit. Then look out.

As for not seeing dragons, look for dragon resting spots on your hud. Normally they are at the top of a mountain, have a resident dragon, and a word wall. Many you'll have to work though another dungeon to reach, or be seriously good at riding in rough terrain.

Once you have cleared them, give them a week and fast travel back, good chance another dragon has taken up residence.

Also you can use console commands in PC version to spawn dragons. PM me if you need help.

I don't even want to think about how many hours I've put into Skyrim in the last 3 weeks.

But its fun  :)

I've always been a bit of an explorer.  I'm a great spacebar mountain climber, and have been to the edge of most areas of Skryim where you receive a nice little messgae informing you "You cannot go that way".

I was hopping up a mountain to try and get a sweet screenshot when a dragon popped up and started harrasing me. I forced it down to a perch on the mountain cliff edge and LOL'd my butt off when, upon a dual cast Ice Storm spell, it pushed the dragon off the cliff. It plunged to the bottom and died. took me 10 minutes to climb down to collect its bones  :devil

The thing I'm looking forward to is when my character gets to the afterlife, there's going to be a long lineup of daedra who think they have dibs on his soul for eternity.  Can't wait to see who gets it.

Hmm...  That's kind of an interesting idea for a mod.
