I'm addicted, and a few of you want to hear about anything Skyrim related. I aim to please:

What I've learned from Skyrim so far - about my first character, a mage who died a lot but did a few pretty awesome things.

Skyrim and Political Philosophy - it doesn't get the mythos right. There's too much for me to know. But it definitely hones in on relevant themes: I'm really proud of this post.

Ashok's Skyrim Adventures - me bragging about my latest character, a level 20 two-handed heavy armored barbarian thug. To what degree does he reflect something larger?

I've got a Nord warrior with off-hand magic support who I'm doing the main quest with, and I've got an awesome stealth/dual-daggers/marksman rogue who is my Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild character. :D I might make a mage next. I've yet to do a pure magic class.

Thanks for commenting!

A friend crafted a spellsword - the more you like your character being mobile, the more powerful that sort of character is. He's got a large bag of tricks, and imagine your warrior's got the same.

Yeah, the thief/rogue types are uber-powerful. Sneak attacks with bows are 3 times damage at least. And there's opportunity to get attacks that are 15 times as powerful.

I actually have been bad about using sneak on any of my characters. The barbarian I'm using now at around 17-18 could get mauled by a bear and not lose half his life. Heavy armor has its perks.

This is the first character in any game where I've actually used sneak. I always played a warrior in Oblivion and a combat/non-stealth rogue in games like Dragon Age. It took a bit to get the hang of it and not totally flip my shit every time the little eye icon went from hidden to alert. :giggle: I'm the type who usually likes to charge in with my sword swinging. :P

I noticed your journals popping up in my message center, so I apparently watched you at some point. I can't remember when or anything, but this journal caught the eye of my big nerd side, so I had to comment. :P

Yeah, it does take some getting used to being sort-of detected and then retreating and hearing "must have been my imagination" from those searching.

If you do go over to the blog, do take a look at the Skyrim and Political Philosophy post. That was quite a lot of fun to write.
