Major spoiler alert:
I just went back in time to learn dragon rend and whipped the crap out of Alduin when I returned to the present...
He got better.
He got better.
It's a pain in the ass because they don't tell you how many jobs you need to do. I recommend doing the Numbers, Burglary, and Bedlam jobs.
I wonder what you have to do to steal/get the Mask of the Grey Fox in this? They show a bust of him, with the mask, during loading screens once you've done enough Guild stuff, but I haven't gotten a quest to do it yet. And I KNOW that's what that marble bust with the other trophies is for...
You find that very mask/bust during one of the thieves guild quests and Delvin pays you for it. That's all there is as far as I know, apparently he's a huge fan.
Which one was it? I didn't see it. I think I only found the Falmer Eyes, the Puzzle Cube, and Honnibrew Decanter... oh, and the stuff you get from doing burglary.
BOOOOM BITCHES!!!11!!!!
Unlocked dragon slayer. I did it at level 25, I feel that I did it too fast, way too fast. I did not think he would really die this time either.
40 hours played in 3 days!
I just finished getting alduin the first time right after you get the elder scroll at the throat of the world
There is an option in the configuration that you change that let's you leave the invisible barrier it's posted on steam when you are in the game liveary
I feel so incredibly OPed, I soloed two dragons at once. FEAR ME!
but there is a second quest to track him down to his hiding place and kill him for the remainder of the game.
That's the end of the game after that?
It's a bit more epic than it sounds... though I still felt the ending was a bit rushed.
Not reading the spoilers, but maybe that's what it feels like when a person rushes through a game this big to beat it in less than 2 weeks.
To put it simply, I think there should have been a quest or two in the final area of the game, in order for the events that happen there to make sense. Also, a certain character shows up there if you've advanced a certain questline to it's completion, but they do nothing to help you when it would have been in their character to do so. I think that was a stupid oversight.
The ending isn't bad, but it feels like they cut something out in the part leading up to it.
TAKE THIS BLOOD DRAGON!! HIIIIII
Hey, take this item from me, I'm a fugitive and shit.
HEY FUCK OFF I'M FIGHTING, AGGGGGHHHH IT'S BURNING ME WHILE WE TALK!!!
Don't snitch on me or I'll kill you.
THE DRAGON IS KILLING ME! Oh, good, we're done talking. Ok, the dragon is landing, face to face, I can do thi...
Hey, have you seen a man come through here.
AGGGGGHHH IT'S BATHING US IN FIRE, WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO ME???

I honestly have NO idea why they didn't have a reference to that movie, Shego. This seems like the perfect game for it.
It's been purchased. It sits next to me in my car... waiting to be unleashed.... the 10th can NOT get here fast enough. I may even call in sick that day.
The tenth? Why do you have to wait until the tenth? Next day off?
My birthday... my wife's reasoning being that since it's her birthday present to me, I "open" it on my birthday.
It's still here... taunting me...
It's still here... taunting me...
That's mom logic. Dangerous stuff.
I found Daedric hearts, about three. I was disappointed that the place I found them wasn't a full dungeon considering the bitchin' statue over it, but I'll take what I can get.

Just finished as much as I could on this character. Due to his nature I attempted not to get overly involved with...
The College or the Thieves Guild. I did a quest or two for each of them, but my guy was more of a warrior. When it came to choosing a side in the war, I started out Stormcloak, until I found out doing such would inevitably lead to me attacking Whiterun and exiling Balgruuf, my favorite Jarl, so I loaded an older save and turned in the crown to the empire instead. I felt a bit bad, since I helped the Stormcloaks gain the crown in the first place, but I was not about to attack my favorite city and oust my favorite Jarl. So far when it comes to the Grey Beards or the Blades, I am sticking with the Greybeards, mostly because I believe Parthunax deserves a chance to redeem himself. I plan to switch this up in the next game and pretty much entirely work Stormcloak and then Blades, concentrating on liberating the lands from both Empire and Dragons (since the Blades are no longer with the Empire, it works out for me.)
One of my favorite things was seeing a few characters in Sovengarde based on quests I did, like Kodlak and Ulfric (since I killed him), and when I went inside I even saw Olaf One-Eye, who made mention to a quest I did for the Bard's College that involved me helping the spirit of a Bard he killed.
So already planning my next character, but this one is going to take what I know and concentrate on certain things, focusing on making a bit more consistent story.

Hold the fucking phone.
I just hit Illusion 100, did the Master Illusion quest and there is NO FUCKING CHARM SPELLS?!
I get Frenzy/Calm type bullshit spells? What the fuck? Someone tell me that the entire internet has missed where these spells are because I can't find ANYTHING on the subject.

I could deal with Destruction spells being "meh", I could deal with Conjuration Perks not having any effect on the very powerful Conjured creatures. I could deal with Mysticism no longer being a spell tree. I could deal with Invisibility being completely useless as everything can still see and attack you.
No Command Creatures/Humanoids? I quit. Shegokigo is done. I should have stuck with my "main" and I'm going to start working on my Orc.

Hopefully there will be a mod that introduces a charm spell to make whatever you want your mind slave.
Won't help me, since I'm on PS3, for when I want to do a mage character. It sounds like they really blew that kind of character in favor of playing to the trailer and advertising default of the Nord barbarian type. I'm lucky I've been wanting to do a ranger for some time, but now I feel bad for my wife as she's getting further in the game, doing all these cool mage quests with the college and stuff involving the Daedra, and I know she's going to hit a glass ceiling with her powers.
Maybe they'll patch it, maybe not.

I'm at work, so I don't know how good this link is (they block anything to do with gaming)

Even some of the gameplay methods are based toward the barbarian processes. Alchemy = eat things to see what they do. No wizard would think like that--if there was no other method, s/he would at least hire someone stupid to eat the stuff.
I can see that without exact classes, maybe Bethesda felt everyone would want to mix and match, such as with Dave's paladin, or maybe a rogue who used Illusion spells to supplement trickery. But they still should've had it balanced that someone going a more traditional route would be fine for the game. It's not like it's an MMO where they have to glorify one thing or another. It's single player. Everyone's going to do it their own way.

Yet they failed pretty hard on the Single Player aspect in some ways as well.
The SEVERELY underwhelming College of Mages storyline, the fact that NOONE treats you ANY different after you complete it. It's like one big "meh" over all. You'd think that'd be a major place they'd have spent some serious time but it's very obvious this game is geared toward Rogue/Warrior play styles and the mage class as a whole got the "shrugged and put it in" afterthought treatment.
