Storyline completed

I finally finished the main storyline of this game and I have to say I almost had no idea what was going on. The thing about skyrim is that it's so big you can forget about other people and things you did. There's a main quest line in the story that is like the main story. I totally abandoned that since my first week from playing so I had no idea what was going on.

There were shouts I had to use, which took me a hole to figure out. I had no idea who the people were that were with me. There was one thing I expected was another stupid dragon.

So after dying six times I finally beat him and talk to this guy named tsun, he gave me a new shut and sent me out of the trippy, led zeppelin-like dream world I was in.

As I left the world I realize that there are a huge amount of dragons around me. There's like a hundred but they aren't attacking me. One of them talks to me and apparently makes me their leader.

Skyrim Easter eggs. - 300

I've found probably the coolest Easter egg, if you're a big movie or graphic novel fan. It's a reference to the scene in 300 when Leonidas leads that wolf through the mountain passage then says the mouth with his spear. I headed up the lover's stone mountain until I found a skeleton.
Looking past the corps you'll see a cat lodged between two rocks with a sword through his face.

I'm very proud of finding this one, it would have taken me forever if I tried, I was in the right place at the right time, I think.

Sawshank Redemption Easter egg - Skyrim.

Hi all, I have found another interesting easter egg in skyrim. You can find it at the college of winterhold when talking to a man named Enthir. Enthir does some missions with you when you're still trying to beat it but once thats over he will start selling items. they're not the best by any means but he sells stuff that is illegal in the college. Once you talk to him he will say "I understand you're a khajit who knows how to get things done" which is the line in the movie.

I've almost completed every quest line just maybe two more

Skyrim Easter eggs!

So I've finished the game. I'm a level 79 and my stats are almost completely maxed. So now since this game is so full of interesting Easter eggs I believe I'll do the remainder of my posts about them.

My first one I found was a Easter egg containing a Robert Frost reference. He is a very famous poet if you have never heard of him. I'm a big fan of his which is why it's my favorite Easter egg.
You go to riften and head in to the bee and the barb. Once you're there there'll be a guy there that wants a horse named "Frost" which starts the promises to keep quest, which is a line from the poem "stopping by the woods on a snowy evening". After that you go to the black briar house through a bit of woods which refers to the line "whose woods these are". More Easter eggs to come!

November 1st

Level 30
November 1st

Giants killed: 8
Destruction:37
Lock picking: 25
Level 25

After a few weeks of messing around I decided I would keep the storyline going. The gist of it is that there are now murderous dragons everywhere, I would know because I've been walking minding my own business and whoosh one swoops down and kills me in a matter of minutes. I hope this game is more than just overpowered dragons. Eventually I found out I was a dragonborn which means you have the ability to speak like them.

I progressed by climbing this mountain to see these wizards and talk to them. I was told that they can help me out with the dragonborn thing so that's where I'm going. But what would a three mile high mountain be without trolls waiting to kill you in three swipes. De spite dying all the time this game is growing on me.

Giants killed: 5
Destruction:35
Lock picking: 50
Level 21

After I've gotten bored killing giants I decided to start building my house. It's a hard concept to get used to because you have to build everything from the door handle to the door but it was fun. I plan on getting a shot of my house in at some point.

I went through a revolution where I took skyrim for the storm cloaks. It was a fun part of the game, got some awesome armor too.
