Kind of long, but I had to tell this.
So I was traveling from Whiterun to Winterhold last night and was dropping into caves and stuff along the way so I didn't have to go back to them later. Lydia was with me and I was giving all the enchanted and rare items I was getting on to her to hold on to until I made it to a town to store them / sell them off. I came across this one cave called Hob's Nest Fall or something similar to that and decided to head in. I was murking pretty much everyone in there with ease, I think they were low class mages, so I was swording those dudes to bits, UNTIL I got to this part where there was like a high level mage with 3 of his homies just waiting to get the drop on me. I was sneaking up on them and they hadn't seen me yet, so I snipered one of them with my bow for a sneak attack which took half of his health. I thought to myself "this'll be easy, I'll just take them all out quietly", but because combat had started, Lydia went in guns blazing like the Lobby scene in The Matrix and tried to take on all three dudes at once. She went into that faint stage where they kneel over in about 5 seconds, so I'm like "She'll be right, I'll just lure them to me and she'll get up & attack them from the back". She didn't get up though, this high level mage killed her and apparently he was a necromancer because he revived her and made her fight against me as well. I was like [Will Smith] "AHH HELL NAW!" [Will Smith]. So now I'm fighting three mages and my former partner who's carrying all of my gear, I'm blocking for my life and swinging my sword like a madman. After wasting about 30 health potions and eating all the food I had I eventually killed the three mages and thought "Alright Lydia will calm down now", she didn't, so I had to kill her as well. THEN I had to pick up all my gear that she had on her, I'm talking steel armors, greatswords, mage robes, the works. So now I'm on my own with about 650 points of gear, way over my 330 limit, I can't fast travel, because I'm over-encumbered and I'm moving about as slow as an injured sloth. Plus I hadn't saved. I ended up getting out of the cave unscathed and had to turtle crawl the rest of the way to Winterhold, !#%% took me like an hour. Then when I get to Winterhold I find out there's not even a proper blacksmith or anything so I can't sell any of my heavy stuff. I had to go into the Inn and hide all my junk in a chest and then fast travel back and forth to sell items off. This was easily one of the most annoying things I've ever experienced while playing a videogame. And I loved every second of it.
The moral of the story is...
DO NOT PUT ALL OF THE WEAPONS YOU WANT TO KEEP / SELL ON YOUR COMPANIONS. Fast travel back to a town and sell them before venturing on.

I ordered it from Walmart last week for like 23 shipped. Barnes & Noble still has it in stock for $24 for anyone looking. Might pick one up and flip it on ebay in a few weeks when they all sell out.Originally Posted by MR J 858

Did you get the hard cover limited edition?
I posted a link to it on overstock when it was $21.It went up to $28 and is now sold out there also.
Re sell value for it on ebay is crazy for it.

the game is deep and has high replayability. I enjoy detailed and engrossing stories (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc) and The Elder Scrolls is exactly that. I loved Oblivion, and Skyrim is so dope
Oblivion is a really good introduction into the world. It's dirt cheap these days; somebody mentioned it's on Steam for like $5. Pick up a copy of it to get a feel for it. Skyrim has some changes to it naturally, but the core gameplay is similar and as I said, it'll introduce you to what these games are like.Originally Posted by fraij da 5 11
