    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.

    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.

    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 [​IMG].

    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

    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 [​IMG]

    Opening the Elder scroll melts my brain [​IMG]


    It's so damn blatant too [​IMG] Everyone treats them like they're all Skooma junkies [​IMG]

    Anyone else find M'aiq the Liar? I remember this guy from Oblivion[​IMG]

    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.

    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.  [​IMG]
