What? Attack the Imperials? I thought I killed all of them! Omg
Finally levelled up enough to cast a decent dual handed chain lightning spell, so epic watching it take out three bandits in one go!

Only to get killed by the bear I never heard sneaking up behind me BangHead

I stink at magic. I don't even know the chain lightning spell. It's kind of sad since I only use the spell Flame.
The best way to toughen up in the magic is enrolling at Winterhold College & pay for lessons (every time you level up, you can go to the teacher for each of the five branches of magic and pay to level up five time). It's a lot of money, but magic early in the game is worse than useless apart from the firebolt spell when you get it from a book.

I'm going to try starting a game eventually where I use nothing but magic for defence rather than weapons for the challenge of it.

Meanwhile in my current game, I'm having domestic problems with Lydia.

Not that she need worry. Barbas is a flea-bitten pain in the rear & his master's not much better.

At the end of the quest involving those two fannyspangles, I got mixed up immediately in another daedric prince adventure about a werewolf and a stag. Against my better judgement I decided to back the wearwolf Sinding as I'm fed up with daedric princes & princesses. Sinding was grateful, vowed to stay hidden all his days so society would be safe, which considering being a werewolf or a vampire is a good way to have a lynch mob on your tail in Skyrim seemed a good idea.

About a day later walking home to Whiterun after using the local giants & their mammoths for target practice Bwahaharoll to my surprise, look who I encountered on the road.

Sinding the werewolf from Falkreath, as a werewolf, & about to pass by a Whiterun guards post.

I waited for a battle to break out.

But even one of the guards passed him by on the road without so much as a drawn sword. Maybe the Companions got a law passed giving werewolves ethnic minority status or a protected species or something. Ulfric will be raging when he finds out, "bloody werewolves, coming into Skyrim, eating our children, taking our jobs!" Biggrin

It was a nice unexpected postscript to that quest to bump into Sinding again, nice to think of him wandering around Skyrim now happy with nothing that raw meat, a pedicure & a bodywax couldn't put right.

Here's a question for you Skyrim players. I just gave a friend Skyrim for her birthday and before starting to play she has been doing some research into the different races, to try to decide what race to choose for her character. Are there any that you recommend or would absolutely avoid? Which race do you guys play as?
If starting off as an absolute beginner, she should go for Nord for the simple reason that early on she will be doing a lot of crypt raiding, & the draugr (undead) are very fond of frost spells.

In my current game my character is a Breton, as I wanted to explore the magic side more. However I was forced to level up with the bow first & favour bumping up the stamina above all (for bow drawing, treasure carrying & running away) because fighting with magic only at low levels is near impossible unless all you want to take on is wolves and bunnies. Magic is more a luxury for later life.

I might try another character later on a strictly "magic only" challenge to see how it goes (probably VERY badly!)

Thank you Minty Smile

I shall pass on your advice and we'll see how she goes. She is drawn to the idea of using magic but it'll be no fun if that results in instant death in the early stages!
I like playing as a Nord. For some odd reason I always like to play as the most human looking race and not because of their bonuses and what not. Tongue
Thank you, Ollie the Nord Smile
Yay!
A new DLC, Hearthfire was just announced and it is just what I wanted in a Skyrim DLC.



Though im still not sure if I will get it, considering the way that Bethesda has been treating me and my fellow PS3 players, I'm not sure if it will be worth the money anyway and plus it might never end up coming out on the PS3, which also appears to be the case with dawnguard.
