Skyrim

I'm not.

My computer would explode if I tried to play it and I don't have $60 to spend because I have a child to feed

Feed your child the souls of dragons.

Also Holk, a giant smashed me straight into the ground and I shot up a mile into the sky in a fallout-esque kinda way. Was pretty cool.

I had the exact same thing happen. I was spiraling end over end like a football, and never even started coming back down.

I somehow died from poison while transferring to another area through a door, resulting in me dying over and over after being transferred. It was weird, had to restart the game.

What if child services finds out?

Definitely a good idea to rotate save files. I found a bugged door that would corrupt the autosave when you go through it. If I hadn't been rotating saves, I would've lost hours of play.

I don't like how when I try clicking on a certain dialog option, it automatically chooses a different one for me. It took me just about a full minute to select anything other than "What do you have for sale?"  with one of the NPCs in Winterhold. And it happens with others as well, like when I gave a bandit 200 gold when really, I had clicked on the Intimidate option. Makes no sense.

edit: also, when I killed said bandit after "choosing" to pay the toll, she only had 8 gold on her body. Awesome.

I had to "fight" that dude to get in to the "fighters guild" (companions? or something like that?) and all I had was enchanted weapons, so he kept stopping the combat and saying "don't be a pussy that uses magic" so instead I had to shield bash him three times to get past it.


But what if I didn't have a shield?

Oh, Bethesda. Why don't you play test your games better?

You could punch him...

And Malson, I agree. The best way I found, is to use the wasd keys for menus. Takes a little while to get used to, but it works better.

On the PS3, I'm playing with pretty much brute strength alone, as a Nord with the stormclouds. I have such a hard time looking around and keeping things in view and under control on the PS3, so having a barbaric Nord character that just swings around violently seems to be the way to go. Beat the shit out of a dragon with my greatsword. It was glorious.

On the PC I can actually aim and hit things with magic/arrows thanks to the mouse, so I made a redguard thief/archer/rogue who will join the imperials. I didn't even realize you had a choice of which character to follow in the opening scene until I made this character an hour ago. That's really fucking awesome that there's more than one side to the main story (but I have a feeling it will all just kind of end up at the same place in the end). I had to turn the settings down a bit to make it playable, but whatever, I'm getting my graphics fix from the PS3.

I love this game so much.

I just noticed that there's a stat for bunnies killed.

I have slain three fearsome bunnies.

Man I love smithing

Fus Ro Dah.

I have the sprint shout and use it WAY too much, most cities keep telling me they'll lock me up

I got Mario land 3d, so I'm taking a break from skyrim until I finish it.

They don't ever do anything, you can actually just cancel out of the conversation without saying anything to them.

WULD

Got my cool dragon armor now I'm all set to save the world

Spoiler for:

Found M'Aiq. My journey is complete.

My horse was mauled to death by a pack of ice wolves.

Meh.

6 bandits at once? no problem

1 ice troll? dead in 2 hits

He was the first npc I ran into. I posted a pic of him on my steam page.

I got one-hit by a bandit chief earlier. He had full steel plate on and an enchanted orc battle-axe and slammed me with a power attack when I was fighting one of his bitch minions.

But yeah ice trolls are harder than normal dragons.

Got banned along with my friends for hacking on Maplestory (LOL). I think this is a sign so I just bought Skyrim and am downloading now. 2.4MB/s don't fail me now! Time to play my PSP while I wait, too zzz

EDIT: I START NOW

The gods smile upon me, for letting me create such a fearsome weapon
