Just wow!<br /><br />If I recall correctly, the orc wanted to die because orcs want to die in the bloom of their lie in a battle - they never want to become old... strange creatures, those orcs.<br /><br />On my mage, I mostly use enchanted robes, dresses etc. On my hunter I wear the elven armour at the moment. Found it on some wandering thief. Will swap to the better glass armour as soon as I find it somewhere. Not sure if I want to invest that much in crafting now there's still so much to improve in marksmanship.<br /><br />I actually spent some stuff so poisons would stick twice as long. I should use much more poisons on my arrows, though. I don't find them that effective, but I perhaps they will be if I put more points in the alchemy tree. I've just been too lazy to apply poisons all the time. Thanks for the tip, though. If you say it can help a lot, I should definitely try it. :)Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-4759206247464158482012-08-28T10:04:13.649+02:002012-08-28T10:04:13.649+02:00I would still love to join the kin in LotRO but af...I would still love to join the kin in LotRO but after seeing Che I focussed on getting Skyrim done and now GW2... I will be back in LotRO soon(TM) and have pre-bought the expansion e.t.c. Maybe that would be a good time to join? :/Isyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04748657036172760821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-46508653801103607772012-08-25T15:41:49.044+02:002012-08-25T15:41:49.044+02:00Heey Isy, and welcome to my blog!

I love that there are so many mods available for the game as well. So many of them really make look and function so much better, too. I wrote a post with the mods I use here, if you want to check out some more:<br /><br />http://ravalation.blogspot.nl/2012/08/skyrim-mods.html<br /><br />Wow, I'm really impressed by you finishing the main story arc at level 25! I always get really distracted by side-quests myself. Even on my mage, on which I tried to go for the main story the most - she is level 22 and still in Riften (I don't really know how far in the story that is - no, don't tell me!). And yes, I love the sneaking as well!<br /><br />So you're into Guild Wars then? What happened to your kinship application in LotRO? Or are you taking a break from that game?Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-29552773879135123402012-08-25T15:35:15.128+02:002012-08-25T15:35:15.128+02:00Haha, great comic!

If you got a period of a bit less LotRO, I'd definitely recommend Skyrim - it's the best of all TES games in my opinion.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-18158457286028284102012-08-25T15:19:43.815+02:002012-08-25T15:19:43.815+02:00I have to agree!

I got quite obsessed with the mods available now that there has been a fair amount of time since the game's release! I rolled a male Nord who I then turned into a sneaky-ranger type, using stealth and bow from range, then dual swords for melee fights. Was awesome fun and a really nice change. Very satisfying snooping about in the shadows and clearing a room of bandits with my bow and the enemies running around paniced with no idea where to find me. I completed the main story arc yesterday at Lv25 which is a first for me (I owned Morrowind and Oblivion and never managed to summon the energy to finish the main quests). While there is a part of me keen to carry on, I also have been wooed to magic and have now created a High-elf mage, but that will now be on hold for Guild Wars 2 :)Isyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04748657036172760821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-22127931142391890622012-08-24T00:07:19.402+02:002012-08-24T00:07:19.402+02:00Heh.

I was almost finishing everything I wanted to do with my mage when I started to get bored with him and getting urges to just go back to melee. So I remade my thief/assassin and have been happily backstabbing/sniping people! Sort of. I have been having some weird issues that I am not sure it is due to the way I mix mods like a mad scientists or something else. They are minor things but they irritate me.<br /><br />About the Falmor, my first encounter with them was when I found a cave I decided to explore with my warrior. I think he was still pretty low level then and had a tough time fighting one or two of the bastards. The cave seemed to go pretty deep and there were more Falmor there. So I decided it was best to retreat and come back later when I was stronger. I don't think I ever did that but since then I met a lot more falmor, learned where more or less to expect them and to hate those little buggers!<br /><br />I met that orc once too! I don't recall his exact story either. I think he spent too long away from his tribe and since he was too old they wouldn't accept him back since he considered him weak. As orc culture says that the only good way to die is in combat he asks you to fight him to the death so he hopes he can die as a proper orc. When I met him the two saber cats were already dead though and were piled up one on top of the other. :)<br /><br />Other interesting encounters I had in the road were an argonian selling skooma, some hired dark brotherhood trying to kill me and my thief/assassin getting a hired thug trying to teach her a "lesson" because she pissed somebody off.<br /><br />As for the armor, I guess it just follows the law of fantasy. The less a female wears, the more "protected" she is... <br /><br />If you are looking for some light armor that actually protects vital organs, I think the glass armor is the second best set and should be better than that one. Only problem is finding them either as loot or for sale in the NPCs. The best set would be the dragonhide set but you need to have smithing 100 and the perks for it. As a mage the perks would probably be better spent on the magic schools. The elven set might be better too but not sure. It is considerably easy to get though if you don't mind killing some Thalmor.<br /><br />Oh, and I always keep forgetting to mention this! I don't know if you know this already (or even if it matters anymore as you are playing a mage) but you can poison your arrows. Poison won't work on undead, automatons and possibly dragons (don't remember for sure now) but for everyone else it is fair game and the right poison can help a lot. :)<br /><br />~ RakunoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-29266312539822768422012-08-23T18:21:18.312+02:002012-08-23T18:21:18.312+02:00great screenshots and the flying dead one really m...great screenshots and the flying dead one really made me laugh :) I've played on 3 characters (2 pretty low level and the different quests and experiences you stumble across continue to amaze me :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-22734042372994944632012-08-23T17:29:16.608+02:002012-08-23T17:29:16.608+02:00This makes me want to boot up Skyrim again.
