I'm loving this game. One of the few problems I've had is that I'm so used to the Dragon Age style combat that this took some getting used to plus why do my companions have to die? RIP Sven and Golldir. :crying:

Die For Me
Does anyone know if Giants being able to smash things 100 feet into the air is a glitch or did they mean to do that?
Didn't know what was going on the first time one of them hit me.
I like the ice form shout best so far, but I only have about four shouts in total. The time shout looks like it would be cool.
*I would have got the shout from Shearpoint but Krosis was too strong.* might be minor spoiler
Also a blood dragon killed one of the NPCs that I was involved in a misc. objective with. At least they can't kill essential NPCs.
I don't know it may be hearsay but I've heard that it originally was a bug but they found it funny and so they left it in.

Okay so I've been playing a little bit here and there and enjoying it. Gonna put some more time into it today (takes a while for me to get into new games). I decided to make a Breton. When/how will I start learning spells and stuff? I'm totally new to console RPG so I'm a bit lost haha.
You will start to find people to talk about learning spells just a little later in Taverns. Try and head to markers and use the map often to find your current position.
Using magic is as easy as pressing O on the PS3 controller. Brings up a 4-way menu (I know how dirty does that sound) move left and you have a selection of spells, Press X on the PS3 controller to "equip" that spell.
Press L 1 when your back out of that menu to cast the spell and test it on some deer or something for practice. Avoid hitting people with red names (red means an evil act)
Learning spells is often done by reading books which can be found in chests, or brought from NPC shop keepers. You'll find a NPC vendor and you can ask them about magick, they might also tell you where you should visit to learn more about using magick.

I really hope this helps. I do try, but not sure if I ever help anyone with my advice. If you get really stuck, watching a few youtube vids will definately give you ideas.

Reports of games becoming practically unplayable on PS3 have become a big issue recently, supposedly for the same reason as Fallout 3.
They say framerate issues, commands not working properly and the like usually start around when your save file is 6mb, but mine has been as high as 7552kb and I haven't had a problem yet.
Hoping it doesn't start to mess up soon...

The giant smash is definitely hilarious if you're not on the receiving end of it. Yesterday's biggest lol moment for me was after killing my first two giants, I then had to spend the next 20 minutes essentially running in circles and using the rocks and terrain to kill the three extremely pissed off mammoths that were chasing me.
Good advice, dude. I'll be starting the game Saturday morning and this helps.

So far I've only had one freeze which is good because Fallout New Vegas was damn near unplayable for me when I first got it so I consider this a big improvement. One thing that has been pissing me off though is the dumb companion AI where they run in front of one of your attacks and get killed. It's stupid. They should make it so your companion can't take damage from your attacks.
The companion path-finding is really bad too. You'd think for a game world that was so mountainous and had such a diverse range of terrain types, they would at least make the NPC's capable of jumping up onto/down off of small hills and ledges. Everytime I go a long distance I end up losing my companion because I climbed up a small ledge and they took off running around like a crazy person trying to find a path.
ahahaha. That stuff drives me crazy.
Some light reading for ya'll.

There are a lot of bugs in Skyrim (this IS a week after it has been released, they fixed the bugs for Fallout 3 quickly, so any exploits should be exploited whilst you have the chance, if you so feel inclined)
