^ That's cool.

I started the Thieves Guild quest because I wanted to get the item you get at the end..

Spoiler: It is the Skeleton Key so yeah I need that a lot.

I only did the first mission but plan to complete a lot of it soon enough.

I don't know where Lydia went off too though! I had her ass wait in front of this dungeon because she kept dying and when I got out she was nowhere to be found! I go back to my house in Whiterun where she usually hangs out if I am not using her and she was not there. I then went to the Whiterun Jarl's house and she isn't there either. So I hope she turns up; I don't see how she could have died. The area where I left her was completely cleared of enemies.

So because she is MIA I hired this mage in Riften to follow me; hopefully he is competent enough to help me out..

I didn't play any today because I my free time was spent on the computer, watching 2 episodes of The Walking Dead, and buying/playing WWE 12 but I will try to get some Thanksgiving play later today.

I beat the main quest last night. SUPER disappointed with how it ends. I think I'm going to make a new stealth-focused character so I can be better equipped to do the Dark Brotherhood and Thieve's Guild quests.

Got attacked by 2 dragons at the same time, a frost and a blood dragon. Too busy healing myself to put up much of an attack. After 30 minutes of barely scratching them, I ducked into a nearby mine that the Forsworn were in. Cleaned that out, and when I exited only the frost dragon remained. Picked him off easily.

Finally got my smithing skill up to 100 and put together a set of Dragonplate armor, and a set of Dragonscale armor (which I prefer as it's much lighter and almost as strong). Got most of a suit of Daedric armor and a couple of weapons. Gonna need more Ebony ingots, but I mined all the ore out of Gloombound Mine, so I need money. Just started the Companions missions, but right now it's LSU football time.

^ That is cool.

Who did you get married too?



That is awesome. I want Dragonscale armor but I will never get my smithing skill to level 100 and if I did I think you can only make dragon armor if you spend like 5-7 perks on smithing which for me is NOT going to happen [it's a low priority for my current character].

Hell I don't think I've even started to do smithing stuff; my level is only 16.

My highest level is Alchemy which is level 90 and for me is perked out to the max [that I want to spend] so I'm happy. I have not made a lot of potions in a while; still can barely sell my last batch off and that was a while ago! My potions are still going for $400+ each one so it takes a while to sell 50 of them.

My other top skills are all pretty high by themselves or with item boosts.

For instance my Light Armor skill is around 62 but I have this Scaled Armor that boosts my Light Armor skill by 18 points so it is a green # 80 showing that it is boosted.

Other examples are that my Destruction is level 65, Conjuration is level 60, One-Handed is level 60, and Restoration is level 55.

Speech is usually always boosted by the begger boost [if you don't know about this you should donate 1 Septim to a begger and you should get a +5-15 point boost to your Speech skill for 8 hours I think. I always pay off a bum before I buy/sell stuff.

Anyone else do special things before they buy/sell, attempt lock picking, or make potions?

I know before I buy/sell stuff I wear my Necklace of Haggling [+15% to prices] and my Thieves Guild Hood Version II [+15% to prices]. Add in my perk boost to Speech [+10% to prices of bought/sold goods] and my buying/selling goes up by 40%.

For lock picking I have special grieves that boosts lock picking by 20%, a Necklace of Eminent Lock Picking [+30% to lock picking], and a Ring of Lock Picking that further boosts that skill by 15%. So before I attempt to pick locks of anything I change my clothes and then I have a +65% increase to my lock picking skill.

Alchemy has even more items to make ALL of my potions and poisons stronger. I have a Circlet of Eminent Alchemy that increases potion strength by 22%, a Ring of Pure Mixtures that gives +12% to potions, Grieves of Alchemy that give me +20% to created potions, and finally I have a Necklace of Alchemy that gives an additional boost to my potion/poison strength by 20%. So yeah my potions are so strong they are just so damn hard to sell.

I rambled on too much..

My game update since last time is that I am now at level 37 and Lydia is NOT dead!

She was waiting at my house after a little while. I think she got jealous that I paid this guy to follow me after I thought she had died.. Sorry girl I moved on and he is actually worth the $500. Being a mage he can for the most part heal when he knows he is about to die so I don't have to babysit him as much..

I also completed 2 more chapters of the Thieves Guild quest but I have more to come.

I need to stop talking though.. I have stuff to do but I hope people continue to talk about the game; I like to read your stuff.

I'm getting this for Christmas before anything else. First thing I'm going to do is make Link.

To answer the question, I married Camilla from Riverwood. It's a nice perk getting money and a meal every time you go home

^ You get paid by your finace if you talk to them?

That is kinda cool.

I'm not really looking to get married right now but later on I will.

I finished the longest Thieves Guild Quest and am practically done with it now.

Spoilers: So yeah Mercer's ass was killed fairly easily too. Me and Karlia/the other guy who starts with a K or J *forget his name..* were in that big Dwarven ruin for a long ass time! But I'm done and now have the Skeleton Key! Stupid ass Karlia expects me to give it up so soon? Bitch! I just worked really hard for this so no I think if I ever give it up it will be when my lock picking skill is VERY high

. So she can wait; I'm not going to be crazy like Mercer I'm just using it for things I need to unlock in the future.

So yeah I should play some more tonight but I have some school sh*t to get done in an hour and then Raw so it might be pushed to tonight.

You get 100 gold per day from your wife running a shop. Plus the home cooked meals are nice healing items. And they have a store you can buy and sell items with.
