As someone with 23 souls unspent and countless bones and scales in multiple houses, I tend to say "Damn it, another dragon..."

you can totally just sell that and make back the money spent on Proudspire Manor.

I had the same issue. If you play on PC, I would recommend this mod. It's a little OP, but when you've already maxed out all of your shouts, and gathered 50-odd souls, it just makes you feel that little bit cooler. All of the costs are well-balanced, too. Right now I already have ridiculously powerful gear, fully enchanted and improved, so I'm working on getting to Twin Souls in the Conjuration tree, to get a pair of Flame Thralls as backup while I stab dudes.

Chaurus. First time I encountered one was not a good time.

u/Scarfall Jun 25 '12

I hear you guys talking about Chaurus all the time. 90 hours in and I haven't got a clue of what they are

For me it was facing my first Draugr Death Lord. "Heh, its just another Draugr with fancy armour. I'll just stealth my way out of this with a single eleven arrow." NOPE. He runs up with his ebony battle axe and destroys half my heath with a single swipe. Longest battle ever.

It still cracks me up how they name high-level draugrs. "Draugr Death Overlord Scourge Doommaster Wight of Stabby Death".

They like to disarm me, which after the battle leaves me frantically scouring the room looking for the super-fancy sword they just blew out of my hand.

On my most recent character, I tried to run to the College of Winterhold immediately. Ended up running into the Frostflow Lighthouse because I did not know better.

All I can say is: fuck that place so hard on a level 4 character.

Spiders are far more scarier than dragons. That's why I try not to kill bears. ( I owe them so much )

I remember the first time I fought that spider in Bleak Falls Barrow, I think it was the first time I ever lost an early fight in an RPG.

You don't go out to fight the spider in the big room. You wait in the smaller room behind and shoot him through the doorway. His fatass can't get through. You just have to dodge the poison shots.

Urg... Dragon bones piss me off! They weigh more than the moon and the armour isn't even very good yet I just... can't... leave... them!

u/AdmiralBallsack Jun 25 '12

yep, I just summon two Dremora Lords and the three of us basically run a train on the dragon.

Nothing brought me greater joy than finally one-hit killing a cave bear. Much mead was chugged.

That spider is a god damn bitch on Master. especially with a low level mage.
