Answering that question requires spoiling a quest.

Spoiler:

Wasn't aware of that. Speaking of followers, I'm REALLY tempted to find a replacement for Lydia. It does not help you stealth when either A) the enemies see Lydia and start casting fireballs or B) LYYYYYYYYYYYYDIAAAAAAAAA JEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIINS!!!!! -_-

is there any way to re-spec in this game? like when i get to level 50 if i want to rearrange what skill points i have used, will that be a possibility?

The only ways I'm finding to respec are things that you can only due on PC. Sorry.

Another end to a great day... Er, I mean morning It's currently(was) 6:40 in the morning and I'm in need of sleep...

Remember, Giants and Mammoths won't aggro unless you threaten them by staying close or attacking first. If you back off when they growl and posture, then they'll let you alone. Just make sure to walk wide.

I actually omitted a tiny little detail. It was my first giant encounter... I ran up all like "Hey buddy, whatchoo doin' over here? Oh, you wanna play tag? no... that IS NOT how you play tag!! "

I have plenty more stories like that from today. Such as my second giant encounter, but it was the lolest of lols

Have the Greybeards point you to a word. Often enough they're on the outside walls, which are always guarded by dragons, or have them nearby.

Did Miridas (what a bitchy priviliged princess) quest last night. While completing one part of it two dragons decided to double team me then fly off. I then turned into google earth and seen where they flew off too. Got a sweet sword from it. Still playing on my spell caster. I was getting slow downs but as I completed or cleared a few active quests off my list things seemed to smoothen out.

Also my magic now refills at the speed of light, what's that about.

ran into some really bad slowdowns tonight. it was weird though because it would slide show for a couple seconds then be fine. wasnt autosaving either. i got about 20 quests in my log so maybe ill try and chip those down and see if it helps.

Hitting those framerate issues now too... It's getting to the point where it's unplayable. I have to avoid sprinting and places with heavy snow, which is about 1/2 of Skyrim. Or else it's a sliseshow of approx. 3 frames per minute...

On a lighter note, I just did the coolest mission for the Companions... For those who know and have done it, the spoiler below is safe for you Just in case, everyone else look away!

In answer to your spoilered thingy

CAUTION CONTAINS SPOILERS! YE BE WARNED!

You guys try cooling your playstation with more than the fan it came with? I had some bad framerate problems when I would play grand turismo 5 for hours on end. so bad that it would freeze up for a second and then would come back just in time to show me I smashed into a wall going 180 MPH . Ended up noticing that the tv stand that my ps3 is in gets to be like an oven when it finally freezes up. I wired up 3 computer fans to a USB and cut some holes in the back of the TV stand to mount the fans. Plug them into the front of the ps3 and havnt had problems since.
The fan it comes with does a very poor job of cooling it, one of these days im going to clean up the tv stand and make a dedicated ps3 stand that cools it as I play. Have also herd of a few ps3's completely breaking from being overheated too often.

Fun tip. I found out you can get both of the rewards from Hircine's daedric quest. Without getting spoilery, I'll just say that you can complete one objective option without turning it in, then immediately complete the other as well and turn it in, followed by leaving to turn the first one in too.
More importantly, both rewards count as Daedric Artifacts, so on completing Nemira's quest, I got counted as having 15. Enough for the Oblivion Walker trophy to pop. Which means that I can save the Thieves Guild for my second character like I'd originally hoped. Minor Spoiler:

Double Post for goodness!

Here's a hand tool a guy on reddit made for Alchemy.

Do all dwarven ruins have insta-kill traps? I'm trying to go through the one the dark brotherhood sends you too early on, and didn't appreciate getting sent back to the start of the area after hitting a trap I've never seen before.

I've never been killed by a trap. Then again, I also haven't done the DB questline.
Are you sure it instant killed, and not just did high damage? I'm kind of a walking tank, so I don't take a lot of that from anything. Well, anything but those Briarhearts. Hate those guys. Hard to sneak up on in my heavy armor too, even with its sneak bonus.

you might just have to sneak around scanning the floor for plates or tripwires. do you have enough light around you to see them? there are a couple lighting spells and torches are cheap.

Heck you can even get torches off the walls. Did get hit by a trap in one of the dwarven ruins that brought my hp down to a tenth, Spinning floor blades that pop out as you open a door. Thank christ I had my glass armour on.

In other news, Sanguines quest is funny.

its f-ing impossible for me to get to the town at the base of the mountain where the grey beard quest takes me. ive been walking and dodging creatures and enemies alike for 3 hours to no avail. i get on the right track and run into a guy wanting his fort and family back..... GRRR people i got things to do! needless to say im halfway to getting his fort back. looked at the hour and had to get ready for bed.

lets all pray that tomarrow i can get there. this is getting rediculous, LOL. and dont get me started on bears!

The Clairvoyence spell is a godsend for finding the best way to a point on the other side of a mountain range. If you can get that from that Secret-fire guy in whiterun (the DICK), you'll be set.

So after restarting the area a few more times on account of Lydia dying (once because I accidentally backstabbed her), I finally got to the trap that killed me before. It was a floor trap, that I presume hits you with one of those explosive dwarven ballista bolts, and looks like a slightly elevated square tile with a small red diamond in the center. I recommend getting the sneak perk that makes pressure plates a non-issue if you can, though you should still watch for them if your follower is of any value.

After that was the standard fair of dwarven constructs, traps, puzzles, and small squads of Falmer, up until the end, when out walked a Master Centurion. If you haven't seen one, its a gigantic dwarven construct about 3 times as large as Lydia and has a HUGE amount of health.
This turned out to be the easiest part of the dungeon. I stayed back and sneak attacked him with my bow and Lydia beat the shit out of him with her frost enchanted claymore until he fell to pieces. I don't think he ever got the chance to make an attack.

Guess I'm lucky?

And he only wanted someone to hug...

I got me the Clairvoyance early on. Doesn't up skills but is really helpful to find your way in a group of rocky outcrops... Cept when it tells you to go through the mountain...

Rofl! Just typed out a mini walkthrough for you, just to realise you're talking about a different mission

anyone want to fight 7 (might be 6) trolls in a row?
find darkshade. gooooood times.

also, i robbed all the display cases in whiterun and got me a sweet elven bow and elven sword. crafted me some nice steel armour and got the perk that gives you +25% armour if you wear all macting. my rating is 137 (i believe) w/o shield. also found a sweet orcish battleaxe that does 25 dmg and and extra 12 fire dmg. awesome against trolls. till it disenchants then i gotta find me a decent soul gem. im only lvl 12 and ive done about 5 missions total in like 10+ hours of play hahah
i just get so distracted by all the stuff that pops up on my map.
