    Skyrim is the first Elder Scrolls I've decided to play.
    I'm at level 4 with my Khajitt character. I've made it to Whiterun.

    One tip I highly suggest doing is finding "The Guardian Stones" early in the game. There are 3 standing stones 1 for (Warrior, Mage, Thief) which will help increase whichever stone skill you select by 20%. You can only activate one at a time though.

    The Guardian Stones are located south of whiterun past helgen. It's along the river on the right side of the river.

    I'd post a pic I took where it's located on the map. But I don't how to use spoiler tags on here.

    Anyways if your a newb like me to Skyrim I'd suggest picking up the official strategy guide.

    I picked up the hardcover collectors edition from Best Buy. These are really starting to become hard to find now and the ebay reseller prices from them are crazy. Other message boards I visit a lot people said the official strategy guides hold their value and that the Oblivion strategy guide in used good condition still resell for over $50.

    Yeah the thing is huge [​IMG]

    But it's really well made.

    And it also comes with a free exclusive interactive world map on Prima Games website that normally costs $15 bucks.

    Man I just finished the Thieve's Guild quest where you hunt Mercer in that dungeon with the Dwarves and Falmers, that has to be the longest quest ever man I was like is this shhh ever going to end?!!?

    This could be because I was sneaking the whole thing but anyone else do this quest and feel like it took FOREVER?

    I wouldn't sell that stuff.  I think you'll be able to make dragon armor later on with those things

    Why not get a guide and just waste time running around looking for quests? Personally, since I got the game, it's been dull for me even though I'm only level 7. I went back to Dead Island which I understand whereas Skyrim, not as much.

    As for the Dragon Bones/Scales...I sold em because I don't know where to store em. I was tired of running around doing baby steps.

    I think enemy levels are scaled to yours, so if you have high defense they will as well.
    They also drop better items when you are a higher level.

    I'm so tempted to buy that Skyrim guide textbook [​IMG].  Not sure if I want to spend $40 though [​IMG].
    I need to start enchanting my weapons.  My fighting skills need some work.  Bears and trolls keep murking me on the regular.

    Ordered my copy on amazon last night but i really don't want to wait until next week to play. I'm desperate enough to play i'm thinking of making a trip to Target and getting a copy so i can play now. Once my amazon copy comes i'll return that sealed one to Target. Desperate i know but i don't have ##@$ to do all weekend so i'm just kicking back in the crib.

    Related question: Is there a place I can store all that stuff for the time being so I don't have to carry it around all the time?
