The Skyrim thread

My journey towards High Hrothgar + up the 7,000 steps included:

2x Ice Wolves
2x Wolves
1x Ice Wraith
1x Frost Troll (was a right barsteward to kill)
2x Dark Brotherhood Assassins
4x Bandits (Hired Thugs because I killed that old Anise woman, the secret witch!)

All at Level 6. I'm pretty sure I was supposed to only have 3 out of that list of 6! :( I P-1-55'd off the whole of Tamriel, clearly.

I went up there before I got to level 3...NOTHING up there...also, if you read all of the tablets on the way up (in order) will grant "Voice of the sky"...which means no animals will attack you for 24 real time hours...the spell STOPS if you attack them though.

Sounds similar to what I encountered on my way up there... though I had been all over the map, explored like crazy and was level 25+ before I even first went up to HH I think! :P

I feel robbed! I had one frost troll and and that was it!!!!!

Edit: And some mountain goats...

Hahah yeah I blasted loads of goats with my fireball spell on my way up there - I even chased a few back down to get them!
Mwhahahahahaha! (I played quite an evil guy, there were several small villages with no-body left living in them by the end. Hehehehe )

Pff, Level 25!? How many caves and towers did you clear out! At least you managed to explore the map though rather than just blind-follow the main quest! I only went to HH because I wanted the Unrelenting Force shout, I could barely make a pot shiver with just 'Fus'

Lol'd about the Goats thing, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who chases the foxes/rabbits/goats when they try to make a break for it! It's like in the GTA games, I seem to have this habit of smashing up Taxi's.. I realy don't know why.

I hit Lv42 last night, how slow does levelling get now :(

Ive maxed a few skills to 100 even smithing ;) I used the bug to Lv speech too :p haha

How do you get the likes of archery to 100 easily?

There is a woman called Angi who lives in Angi's camp. Chat to her and she will train you in different aspects of Archery to help boost your skill! You'll also get given Angi's bow at the end. However if your lvl 42 already, the bow will be a little under powered. :)

Take on some giants too. they take a ot of arrows to kill, but it helps boost your skill.

Yeh, 5 times a level only. When you level once in a blue moon it slows things down somewhat :p

She does not do 'pay to train' - she actually sets you tasks and you can get 6 skill points from her. Also she has a book in her hut on Archery and if you read it, you gain another point.

I did not know that, thanks :D

No probs. I know 7's not many, but it's a quick & easy 7 points.

Careful though, I've read some times a dragon will show up there and she can be killed by it rather easily. :P

I didnt know you got the Relentless Force from HH so I just ignored it and went about exploring. Never used quick travel, always on food and fighting/killing things with magic & axes as I went. I was wanted everywhere and kiling guards all the time, kept returning to peaks to take down dragons over & over again, I smithed like crazy and got the awesome armours & weapons really early on in the main storyline, found loads of the Daedric quests & items before going up HH too. I think of the 150-odd hours I played at least 100 of those was before going up HH the first time, that gives you some idea how much I went around levelling up! :D

That ^^ happened to me :-(
But I do use a bow a lot, so my archery is pretty high. Killing giant and mammoths are good ways to level it up, just find a high place to shoot from that they cannot easily get to and bingo!

Levelling up gets extremely slow from level 45ish+. Took me a good 10hrs to level up from 49 to 50...

You can find a 'guide' to levelling (and how it is calculated) here - Skyrim:Leveling - UESPWiki

OK I think I have a weird bug. I've killed 3 dragons, have 2 dragon souls on my shouts screen and cannot unlock the greyed out fire breath as it says I need a dragon soul.
