i just learned two interesting things

number 1: mammoths do not die as easily as wolves.

number 2: mammoths are, in fact, the attack dogs of giants. i DID. NOT. KNOW. THIS. i just thought giants walked around with mammoths just because they like chillin with them, in the same way a man might walk around ducks. but no, apparently not. THESE DUCKS KNOW HOW TO KILL.

i saw a giant... went through my giant-killing checklist... giant, check, bow and arrows, check, single solitary tree to act as giant kryptonite, check.

so i fire off an arrow, and lo-and-behold, i get a giant and 2 mammoths charging my ass.



oh, and skyrim interesting fact #49: two bears can kick the fuck out of a dragon. seriously, i did like a third damage to the dragon, before some bears showed up, and then i just sat back on a hill and watched them kill the dragon. fucking bears, eh. i hate those cunts.

Haha..yeah and I've found Mammoths are really not worth the effort. You're going to be working your ass off just to kill a single one and it will generally just drop a heavy ass tusk and snout.


I can imagine my assassin type guy mumbling and hauling back the mammoth tusk after spending like 40 high quality arrows on my first mammoth and chewing on its snout..complaining about how chewy it is.

So far I'm lvl30 but I'm taking easy mammoths or giants, usually when they are 1 giant and two mammoths, I fucking froze them with Ice Form, power attacks, fucking run, fire the shit out of them, repeat Laughing

Mages seem to have an easier time with the big mobs...I think he's a sneaky fuck like me..we have some issues with the bigguns sometimes. They have to be dead within the first 10 seconds or we're running around trying to figure out WTF went wrong.

thats nice but im like level 15 or some shit, and im still waiting for some badass gear to start showing up...


thankfully though, like giants are powerless against trees, i found a raised bit of ground that is apparently the arch nemesis of mammoths, so i just stood on it and fired arrows until it died, so i managed to take out both mammoths and the giant just fine. though i was doing a lot of the 'FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK....' thing at the start Very Happy

Level up more Very Happy I'm not a full mage, I have like 200 points magika and ~400hp but my flame thrower takes like 5points per second I can fucking spam them with fire all the time Laughing

Noticed that the giants doesn't give a shit about you if you're (maybe I'm wrong) under level5 since they aren't aggro then, I was lurking them @ lvl 2 or 3 but they didn't give a shit about me Oo

Turned my PC into console just for this game. Put xbox pad to PC and connected it to my 42" HDTV Very Happy Controls are much better on pad (inventory atleast is better to navigate). Anyway looks incredible on my TV, since it has IPS panel on it (colors are awesome compared to my 120hz TN LG).

Giants are always neutral I think, as long as you don't get too close they won't bother you.

I agree. Fighting against Mammoths and Giants is highly depending on the terrain. If there are rocks and/or trees you can easy evade both before they come too close and bring them down with lots of arrows (but is takes some time).

Those of you who say dragons are easily defeated, ie. by bears and civilians. Wait until you start fighting ancient dragons. Just saying.

Yes, yes I'm back.

So far I did this to Skyrim.ini

And I didn't change SkyrimPrefs.ini as Skyrim.ini is the core file but I use this there.

(There's a lot more to do but I don't know the default values and some of these are already in SkyrimPref.ini but it needs much more testing.)

Here is a question for you guys. Last night I discovered the awesomeness or sneaking around looting the shit out of people in their sleep.

What I wanted to know is do items and things people carry get replenished or once you've looted that town dry from all expensive items, thats it and its time to move onto the next?

I woulda thought it realistic that eventually they'll replace their belongings....

Also when it comes to selling items, the prices I get from vendors is absolute shit. I know I need to raise my speech skill up but how on earth you do that? Just doing quests? completing the intimidation lines etc during certain conversations or just by buying and selling shitloads..

If it is just buying selling, should I be selling one item at a time? or if i sell a stack of say 500 objects does it give the same gains as selling 500 one at a time...

Trading with merchants will increase your speech skill. The amount of skill progress gained is based on the base value of the item being bought/sold. However, if you trade multiple units of an item in one transaction, you will only gain experience equivalent to trading a single unit; for optimal leveling, sell each item one at a time, and sell expensive items.


Found my answer. how gay Sad

You mean items in shelves etc. or what the npc's carry in their person? Because I've personally seen how the court mage in Dragonsreach replaces some of the stuff I've stolen from tables (which is considerate because I like stuff!). Haven't done any pickpocketing really, but I'd guess the npc inventories replenish as well.

As for speech skill, yeah you got it right - use speech checks and sell/buy stuff, this is from UESP:

So it's not really worth it to start selling those steel arrows one at a time. Prices do get better as you increase the skill, and there's also item enchant that improves prices (having a low-weight cloth set dedicated just for that ftw!).
