happy new year!

Happy new year everyone, i cannot believe that today will be the last day of 2011. 2011 has been filled with ups and downs but overall it has been a good year! The release of Skyrim made it ten times better, after all that is what this blog is all about. so for your tip of the day it is, do not always fast travel places. you miss out on the game when you do this because a lot of quests are from random encounters. So remember when a place doesn't seem TOO far away then do not fast travel. To make this traveling easier get shadowmere from the dark brotherhood, hes really fast!

best character

in my opinion the best character is by far the Khajiit (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Khajiit). They are well known for being sneaky and thieves. My character right now is a sneaky archer with 100 pick pocket and around 50 sneak. the only down side to being Khajiit is that whenever you enter a store the people are always like "don't even think about stealing anything", if you don't mind that it is an awesome character. the other thing is that there are not many of them in the world, Skyrim is full of racists in my opinion and no one welcomes Khajiit. Also the Khajiit have 15 points added to hand to hand because of their claws. If you get your heavy Armour up to the point where you can wear gantlets and you get the perk that causes the defense of them to be an attack in hand to hand that is a great way to be. I used to be a wood elf, until my last play through where i chose a Khajiit, it was well worth it.

getting to 100 pick pocket

hi all I'm back, a few weeks ago i made it my goal to get 100 pick pocket. without cheating i was there in like 2 hours. its easy! all you do is pickpocket everything from everyone when you get to a level when you can pick pocket stuff. I've also found that when you get to be a really high level if you plant a lot of money on someone you can pickpocket it and level up easy.

starting the dark brotherhood

this took me a long time to figure out how to start this quest. Unlike oblivion where you were just visited by some creepy guy you actually have to do something. joining the Dark Brotherhood requires you to complete the quest innocense lost. Speaking to Innkeepers or to certain NPCs in Riften will inform you that there is a child in Windhelm named Aventus Aretino who is attempting to summon the Dark Brotherhood.

Finding the greybeards

well a lot of people i know had a lot of trouble with this. I found them pretty easily because i tend to find out about the quest before i just jump into it. You have to go to the town at the base of the mountain, it starts with an i. after you do that you will have to walk past the tree saw thing and then over a bridge. after you do this you will be walking up a path with A LOT of steps! follow them up to the top!

New to blogging
