Regaining the city... ...man that was tough, the main hall..not so bad, but going to find the count was an eye opener, the scamps are ok if you are fighting 1 or 2, but the flame Astronach's beat my ass down...if I had one at a time I could handle it but I had 3 Astronach's and a couple of scamps..took about 4 attempts, finally settled on downing one then running like a bitch back to the hall where the others were..everyone died except Savlian Matius, and he spent half the time on the deck

Good fun, but i need to drop the archery for a while and get my blade skills trained a bit more. I've got a claymore with fire damage and enchanted one of the blades Katana's with Electrical damage...nice..

Affiliated with the fighters guild and the blades, I'll probably join the thieves at some point simply for more to do...currently hanging around the gold coast, taking in the scenery ...tripping over the three oblivion gates

Next steps are to do some fighters guild quests and to plunder some dungeons

Yeah, its a shame that all of your links to pictures etc are dead now, nice for us late starters to see what everyone was doing

Update:

last night was interesting, I just did some quests, no MQ stuff..first up was the fighters guild rat problem, then the guy that was getting robbed in the docks area, that was TOUGH! I was not expecting 3 tough bitches in chainmail...that took a few attempts...then I did the female gang quest, again, got ganked the first attempt...some nice loot from the basement though..

Seriously, what is it with this game with its mobs in small confined areas?!

next up was the mage's guild rogue mage quest..pretty easy that one, but why she looked like a flame Astronach i have no idea...very strange!

After that it was the quest to find the mace for the 'buxom' farmer, again, a big surprise to get 2 guys running at you with enchanted weapons and dwarven armour on! Another TOUGH fight that took 2 attempts. Great loot though, made a lot of money from that one

Finished the night riding towards Skingaard, came across a camp (As you can see from the screenshot) and got attacked on sight by some crazy bitch and a black bear! proceeded to run backwards for about a goddamn mile pumping arrows, seriously, the bear took about 20-25 arrows to put it down...my wife doesn't usually take much notice in my gaming but that fight had her rofl! Crazy stuff but good fun.

Chose to end the night there. reached 6th lvl.


An observation...

It seems best to choose one weapon/style and to stick with it and max it, trying to be versatile, as I have been is getting me in trouble, with light armour and blade skills of about 42 I'm finding tough mobs VERY difficult!

Love the top pic! And those robes are always cool. Just wait until you get hold of the Black Hand robes!
