Hi - Intro

[itsme]

I decided to just jump in one day and never introduced myself. I normally just throw comments in here and there on boards and don't really consider myself regular enough to intro.

I like video games (always have) and am currently very much into Skyrim.  When I first started playing I just played and had no plan in place.  I didn't quite realize there was more to just fighting people and doing quests.  Recently I started getting into leveling my character and making it the character I want it to be.  I'm still learning. 

I loved the old Diablo but don't have the computer to support the new one. I tried the console version and I didn't care for it. 

I love to read.  I play airsoft with my husband (it's been awhile).  I watch sci-fi movies, war movies, and almost any action movies.  I don't watch anime although my husband does.  I don't know what Dr. Who is since I have never seen the show.  I scrapbook as well. 

I live in Southern California and love going to the beach, snowboarding (yes we have that too) and Crossfit (although I try to talk myself out of going everyday).  I have two kids and have been married 5 1/2 years.

Not a Joss fan.

I didn't watch Buffy as a teen so no comment on that one.  That show never appealed to me.  (not a true geek?)

I used to prefer PC but it started to take too much money to upgrade and keep up with gaming so I turned to console when I met DH. 

Gummi worms.

Thanks for the welcome.

There is sooo much stuff! I finally figured out that I probably need to use alchemy and smithing. I never did that before until I found out what you can do once you start mastering it. I really was just going around doing the quests and not paying attention to the levelling up points.

The leveling is kind of overwhelming at first but I'm starting to get it. I'm trying to go around and finish some of the little quests that I keep starting but ugh I get sidetracked and it takes an hour just to get all my stuff organized. Haha I used to be so good with these games. I love that this games is basically what I wanted Dragon Age to be in terms of freedom to go anywhere but the dragons are kind of too easy to kill.

I originally had my difficulty level too high and had no clue. I lowered it down to novice or beginner to pass a certain part I couldn't pass.  I kept it that way and it's less stressful when I get into a fight because I know I can win. Before it was a hit or miss chance.  The dragons were a little hard to kill when my difficulty level was up. 

I started from the bottom of my miscellaneous quests and just focus on finishing one at a time even starting from oldest.  It's difficult when you end up with 3 more quests off that one little one as you go but I try to stay focused.  Also, I have so many back logged that sometimes when I finish a quest and go back to speak to the person I end up actually completing 2-3 that came about at different times.

Did you buy the downloadable content or did you buy the game with the 3 additions?  I purchased the add-ons during a sale.  SO much easier with the Dragonborn or is it Dawnguard download now.  I was a vampire and people were attacking me because I wasn't feeding enough.  Now they don't attack.
