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

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?

I think you can store it any barrel and come back to it anytime, although I read the safest is just buying a house and storing all your stuff there

i cant remember names, think it starts with an A, but the dude that helps you in the beginning of the game... go to his home in Riverwood ( i think ) and put it in the chest. another player said he had stuff in there for months ( in game ) and never lost a thing.

just make iron daggers...it levels smithing up as fast as making anything else...but with much cheaper ingrediants.

That being said...you don't actually NEED to level smithing or take more then 1 perk in it to get through the game just fine. Going past that can make the game a total joke in fact.

With base smithing + a fortify potion you'll add 5 damage to weapons and 10 AR to armor (but only for steel armor if you take the first perk).

Getting to 30 smithing can allow you to upgrade your equipment that you can smith by 1 degree (basically adding 1 point of damage/2 or ar) and boosts your bonus damage/ar by 3/6 respectively. It's nice...but not needed in a normal game.

Basiclaly only go all out on smithing if you want to make the game absolute cake. You can get quite a big bonus from it at base. Base steel equipment upgraded with smithing (with a fort potion which you can get for free from the blacksmiths house in riverwood) has higher base damage or armor then then deadric equipment which you won't get for along time.

 

[crazy dav0]

there are too many missions and side quests ... i gotta slow down and do like 1 hr a day for the next year or something ... this game has taken over everything ....

i'm on level 19 ... 80 level sneak ... next highest is 35 for destruction ... i'm much better at alchemy but still need to learn more when it comes to enchanting weapons / armor ... etc.

 

[shogun]

I'm trying to finish up a mission from Whiterun, where I have to find the captured brother / son in North Keep.  That crap isn't even on my map.  I read I have to travel near Solitude.  I'm not there yet but I found the dock with the trading company and that city high atop the cliffs.  The environment there looks freaking amazing

Is it possible to skip nights? I cant see %$@* at night and I'm never somewhere thats got a bed to sleep in...

 

[davizzy]

^you can sleep by using "select" button and it will ask you how long you want to rest for.

you don't need to sleep on a bed to advance time

on the 360 you can press the back button, if I remember correctly, and you can choose how many hours you want to go forward

For your other question: you can buy a house for 5k in whiterun or join any of the guilds and store stuff in containers inside those buildings

 

[periwinkle]

Just got this yesterday, almost put in 15 hours, need to put this game down

yeah as long as you are not close to any enemies. when you press "select" it will let you know if you can sleep or not.

I was just strolling along, minding my own damn business, trying to get to the wrecked ship near Winterhold when, without warning, a dead dragon falls from the sky right at my feet like a sack of bricks. I nearly fell out of my chair

Well there goes my Saturday night, I caved and just got back from picking this up. Let's see what the fuss is about.

I took it with me with the intentions of trading it in but ended up backing out and just trading in Madden + The Show.

MW3 is the exact same #@*+ but I felt like I'd regret. Definitely gonna be times when I still want headshots.

even on master?

 

[veintisiete]

the fact that you cant kill children irks me for some reason.

 

[shogun]

I need to find a way to fight better.  I don't know what i'm doing wrong but I keep getting killed whenever I face 2 or more people with 2-handed weapons.  It's hard to move out of the way and blocking only works half the time.  

 

[mcraptor]

anyone else get the First Lessons quest bug? I had a companion with me and now I can't get Tolfdir to cast the fireball when I use ward
