Counting down the hours till work is over.

Does the infinite inventory/weight trick work in Skyrim like it works in Fallout?

dahmers love zombie: I got it on release day. My first stab at an Elder Scrolls game, and I really am enjoying it. I'm not used to the "you can take everything" part quite yet...

lol same here. Accidentally stole some stuff. Kinda think there should be an are you sure query after you try to steal something.

can you describe said trick, because i could use it.

Big question for those who've played: how do the story and characters fair? The thing I loved most about Morrowind was the fantastic writing and the character development. Oblivion had some of that, but fell short.

How Skyrim pull it off?

I guess I ask because if I'm going to sink money and time into this adventure, I'd like it to be smart.

D'oh.

I think I'm gonna go back to hello Kitty Island Adventure, you guys.

Really well, there are a lot of different factions and background lore (this takes place about 200 years after Oblivion) and everyone has their own motives and background for what they are doing.

ShawnDoc: James!: It took me about ten hours to realize I shouldn't be lugging around a farking library.

Fallout weened me from that compulsion. Although I still have the mentally talk myself into not picking up a lot of items, especially armor from fallen foes.

Take, take, take...repair and combine, then sell, in Fallout at least.

Skyrim? Sounds like something you get in an airplane bathroom.

yogaFLAME: Ryan2065: I saw a video where a guy was sneaking around a bunch of mobs without them seeing him and picking them off one by one with daggers... How do you do that? I don't see anything in sneak that makes you invisible and it didn't look like he was casting invisibility after an attack...

Once you get sneak up to 65 or 70, you're practically invisible in darker rooms. Mine's getting up towards 80 and I can more or less stab someone in the face without them seeing. Also, if you one-shot things, it effectively generates zero noise.

I'm actually pretty impressed with Skyrim's stealth system. Lighting, movement, sight range, equipment, even accidentally knocking something off a table all affect detection.

Is hand-to-hand combat (or "unarmed," whatever they call it) still a combat option? I have a strange interest in developing a Batman/Daredevil kind of character. Stealthy, agile, and able to beat men down with my gloved hands.

Pick up (drag) a corpse. The corpse doesn't count against your weight cap. The corpse has unlimited inventory room if you reverse loot it.

gopher321: My mule (aka Lydia I think) got killed off in Merkath (sp?). Now I'm looking for a second victim, er volunteer. Any ideas where to pick one up? I deliberately switched from heavy armour to light armour just so I can carry more shiat, even though my stats are lower.

Also, that ice troll on the mountain is giving me the shiat fits. I wish Skyrim had the baby nuke launcher like in Fallout.

Load up on magic restoration potions, health potions, and dual wield a fire spell to take that bastard down. Alternatively get to the town at the base of the mountain, then fast travel to a stable, buy a horse, fast travel back, and ride the horse past it.

I have questions:

In Skyrim, I hear you can buy houses. In the previous Elder Scrolls games that I've played (morrowind, Oblivion), you usually got some kind of house or stronghold to store stuff in as part of a quest line at some point in the game. Now, if you didn';t want to do quests and still wanted some storage, you could always just kill a home-owning NPC and take their house. Can you still do that?

Also, I was watching a buddy play, and I asked him to bring up his character sheet. All I could see were skills and various game achievements. Are there still base stats in the game, like Strength and Willpower?
