End of the road
As I end my blog posting for the semester I decided I'll write about what I thought about the game in general.
I left my comfort zone for this game. It isn't what I'm used to in video games. I'm usually playing shooting games so playing a first person rpg was kind of new. But to say the least, loved this game. It literally was the longest game I've ever played. I spent about 300 hours on it and I definitely didn't explore everything. I was still discovering new places even after I finished the story.
I never have been more impressed with a game just by looking up. Skyrim has some of the greatest visuals I've ever seen. Even looking up in a virtual space. The view of the stars can still render you breathless as well as the sunset.
Now the massiveness of this game does have its drawbacks. The glitches, if you let them, can drive you up the wall. There are some glitches that even hinder you from completing certain missions. Yet, the size of this game and the amount of missions you can do makes up for those missions.
I would definitely recommend skyrim to anyone that has played video games before. It's a great story and a great reality to experience, it's definitely worth a look.

Tips and tricks I've learned.
The one thing about skyrim is that there are a lot of glitches. From floating mammoths to walking through door. Most of them are annoying but I found one glitch that is rather helpful. If you ever need to raise your attack strength level this is the way.
To do this you need a horse and a weapon. What you do is you take your horse out, away from people. Mainly because you'll be attacking it and people will get mad. Make sure your difficulty settings is set to master. Once you're set just start whacking the crap out of it. Since your game is on master difficulty your horse won't die that easily. Once you get his health down, which is a while just wait a day. After you're done waiting your horses health is 100% and you an continue!
This is a great way to level up fast at the beginning if you want to get ahead.

Talking about stealth.
So I was thinking about what the best attribute is. Throughout the game I've used all of them but wanted talk about stealth. It's the one that helped me he most on all my missions. It was the key to me being successful in about 70% of them. Stealth is also good to not get caught when you get I to sticky situations, such as robbing a house or breaking out of jail. If you don't use it well you will be caught, killed and/or branded a thief.
If you're not sneaky, say you killed a guy and another guy notices. That guy is a witness and you have to kill him. If you don't report them they will eventually report you.
Stealth can also help you be more deadly, if no no one notices you can inflict twice as much damage than if you were noticed.

Skyrim - multiple followers.
So while playing Skyrim, while you're traveling around you will come across people who will offer their services, to accompany you. Sometimes it's for a small price, but they help up you out in tight situations killing people and monsters for you so they're very useful to have. But it's always a crap shoot with who you have follow you. Some are really bad and some die quicker than others so it takes time to find the right one.
Another bummer about this follower system is that the game says you can only have one follower at a time. It's easy to imagine what it would be like if you can have more than one follower, how much extraction you could cause. So I did some research and found out how to get mutliple ones.
One way to debunk this system is simple: there are quite a few missions you go on where some people will accompany you through it and stop following you at the end. Simply start he quest, have that person follow you and don't finish it. I did this and had about six followers and a dog at my side. Needless to say the game got a little easier.
