I picked it up, about 30 hours in. Did the Mage college and Thief guild quests so now I am the Arch Mage and the Guild Leader. I play a destruction and summoner mage mostly, but do have some 1-hand weapons. My companions I usually build as a tank, lots of armor and 2hander or shield/sword. Magic is pretty powerful and right now I have 200% mana regen rate so I can cast big spells pretty often but have no armor. So as long as my companion acts as a meat shield and my summon as a distraction I can pretty much beat anything.

Been playing on the adept level or whatever medium is. I will probably go back through and play again on expert mode once I beat the game over the first time. The only part I had a lot of trouble with was beating Morokei, which was vital since he gives you a 100% mana regen mask. I probably spent an hour on just him and he killed me lots.

One thing which I dislike about the game, though it was true with previous TES games and FO, is that the difficulty curve is backwards - it starts off harder, with most difficulty mid game, in this case I found it to be around level 10-15, and once you get to late game you have so many skills and such good gear that you can stand taking crap from anything all at once and nuke them down so damn fast.

I think I mentioned earlier in the thread that I found 2x1h to be relatively underpowered, but I take that back now. With two good weapons + skills + armour, I am face rolling everything.

I think I will do the same as tlarkin and play through again, only as a mage and with harder difficulty, as I too am on medium settings

=EDIT=

oh and last night with the help of a Canuck I finally worked out how to put the rings in the doors for the claws. I honestly had no idea and up to then was just trial and erroring it

I feel the difficulty is a result of the level we play it at. I think I will also try a new character, but on the hardest difficulty and see what happens.

You know, if you'd read the journals by the guys you get the claws from, you'd know. Haha

The extent of me reading the books went something like this:

1. Find a book

2. Read said book

2a. If book is valuable, take/steal it

3. Hope the book gives quest

4. If book does give quest, follow marker

5. If book does not give quest, move on

:p

Anyone get the 100,000 gold achievement yet? I am up to 30,000, mostly got it from within the last couple days of playing. After a while money seems way too easy to get. Should be 1,000,000 gold, that would be a challenge.

Well, I trashed my saves and started over. So many things I didn't learn until later, so much stuff I threw away too. Going for a nord melee guy this time :)

Guys,Does this game get tied to an account like steam or something if you buy retail?

I ask Because if it does not,then if dont like the game i could sell it on again.

Seems hardly any game devs these days release demos for pc games. :/

Yes it does. When you put in the disk and hit "install" it brings up Steam and has you enter the code into Steam.

This is actually one of my favorite aspects of TES games. It's more realistic and I like seeing how high I can get my skills up. My main Oblivion character could damn near jump to the moon by the time I stopped playing. :D

Pays to look at them in your inventory doesn't it? :D

Does anyone know how many claws there are? I found heaps, the gold, sapphire, emerald, diamond, ebony, ivory and i think a few others. There's so much stuff to do and loot to gather.

I didn't like Oblivion though, however having played Skyrim I bought it on Steam deal a few days back, hoping having played Skyrim excessively I will enjoy it more

There is no Assassin's Guild... unless you mean the Dark Brotherhood.
