Got totally sucked in tonight. Did thieves guild up until I got that epic Nightingale armor. Then on the way to do the quest after that I figured I'd stop by Krosis and give him another try since I'm level 21 now and where he is, is close to where I needed to go.
So...I got there. Snuck behind him and took almost half his health out with a charged sneak attack dual wield attack. Then he got crazy so I had to bolt and heal. Then out of *** nowhere...blood dragon, first time I've seen one of these.
Of course I had to deal with the elephant in the room, or dragon in the sky, if you will. Took him out then was heading back to Krosis, hoping he hadn't regenerated his health when something strange happened...
Screen went black and next thing I know I'm staring at the XMB. Guess I'm done for tonight, lol.
I kinda wanna make a dark knight type class and specialize in heavy armor, destruction magic and two-handed weapons. A shame that two handed weapons limit the use of magic, but either way it should still be awesome. Debating if I should do that as Orc or Redguard.
just went to windhelm to check out the guys there... wilhelm is still the top of my list =/
the good news is i still have markarth and morthal to check
Markarth is by far my favorite, Windhelm is probably second favorite, then Solitude. One of the few problems I have with the game is that several of the "main" towns are barely more than the "villages". I swear Winterhold is the same size as Riverwood (Excluding the Mages College).

I love how he deliberately shouted on the books after being told to treat them carefully.
Anyways, for my two handed user should I make a Redguard pseudo-DRK, or a William Wallace clone?
Yeah I just got the free horse too, his name is Sir Clipity Clopity.
Also I found a bug/cheap skill up think for sneaking.
If you're in the Dark Brotherhood wait until Astrid is "reading" the map, then crouch behind her and take off all your weapons. Then wait until you're hidden and punch her in her butt. She doesn't aggro you/other NPC aggro as long as her HP stays above 85% or so which shouldn't be a problem if you're only punching her butt.

Just tested this and does not work. After 5 or so punches she will turn around and beat you. :(
Weird, I did it for 5 minutes to see how long it would go. I got about 5 levels then re loaded save file to kill someone then complete a mission.
When I snuck into a house I had 2 mercenaries who knew I was in the house, unable to find me for a solid 5 minutes or so, despite the fact that I was just in the corner of a room by a cupboard. They had perfect line of sight, there wasn't anything blocking me from their view or anything, they even walked up and stood right in front of me a few times. Finally I got tired of waiting for them to go about their business and pulled out my weapon, and they found me immediately. I feel I should clarify, these weren't ridiculously low level mercenaries, and my sneaking skill is all of 28 or so..
I tried to replicate the results, and couldn't.
There's definitely a couple of bugs in the sneaking system.

Sneaking seems to be heavily influenced by sound. So it helps if you have no armor or have light armor with enhanced sneaking potency.
However, if the general lighting is rather revealing, such as being in open light or near a torch, you'll get caught rather quickly, even if you are silent.

Go with Redguard. Do they have afros?
Indeed they do. However, I kind of like these gnarly tied up thick dreadlocks they got as a new hairstyle. It just looks downright badass compared to the typical shaved head, afro or cornrows options they had back in Oblivion.
Bethesda Softworks just announced the fifth game in the Elder Scrolls series and the sequel to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will be called Skyrim. And it'll be out next year.
Bethesda's Todd Howard introduced the game with a brief teaser showing a stone dragon and a dramatic narration that sets up the story of the next big role-playing game in the Elder Scrolls series. That teaser also dates Skyrim for November 11, 2011.
I cannot bloody wait. I've always loved the Elder scrolls series since Daggerfall.
