k so, i got home last night, got the game running good, made my marksman, and got the part in the cave where u gotta sneak past the wolf, auto ran into the wall, and woke up 5 hours later with sneak at 95 and 10 perks to choose from

maxed out as much as i could in sneak and archery, then used remainder points in lockpicking

was lvl 15 b4 i got to riverfell (first town)


currently im lvl 22 and pretty much one shot sniping everything i see with my elven bow/arrows

marksman was my favorite on oblivion, and is again on skyrim....


BUT

i have one issue. i went into a house that was open in the first town, walked out and get mobed by everyone in town.. i didnt break in anywhere or steal anything, and i cant continue on with the quest from that chick in town cuz she attacks me too, even when me and her yield.. she said "ive had enough i yeild" then starts slapping me again... so imma have to start over cuz the last 4 savepoints are either in the house i went into or right when i got out of the house.....grrr... like they need to refine the crime things cuz at this point, id rather have the old oblivion system....oblivion it was obvious what u did wrong cuz it was intentionall. i didnt stela anything or whatever and im getting attacked..i checked inventory and nothing is stolen... so idk..

Wait, you fell asleep in real life with Skyrim open?

They killed you cause you cheated

i was up for 26 hours by the time i got to the wolf in the cave, i was tired. so i auto ran into the wall while sneaking and went to sleep.. was at work at 4am thursday morning, didnt get done till 10 pm, got to game stop, didnt get outta there till 1am, then got home at 145, and when i finnaly got the game installed and got my character created it was 5am. then another hour in i was at the wolf...



and no they didnt kill me cuz i cheated, cuz i was actualy in that town for some time and did all the armorsmithing tasks for the the guy on the left as u get in town. but right after that, i went into a house to checkit out (door was open/unllocked already) and when i came out i got mobbed

Do you even enjoy this game?

except for the part where i gotta start over cuz im obliviously getting attacked, yes, i love it.

im kinda disliking the ui and controls.. as the controls are ass backwards from the mmo's i play and i cant make the hotkeys what i want cuz u cant change half the damn things... i have a g510keyboard/ g500 mouse and with thosse come a piss ton of macro keys.. be nice if the game didnt force bind [censored] and let me make the decision on what buttons i want to do what.


i played oblivion on my ps3.. and im gonna see if they got an adaptor or somthing for my ps3 controller so the pc game recognizes it, cuz i cant get used to these controls.. ive tried and its not working for me.

Good question, i wonder if such cheater really like the game, or come here only to brag about how they are able to expliot a video game.

Lol

Did you contract vampirism without realizing it? That would explain everyone attacking you despite no criminal activity.

Did you kill a chicken? If you kill any of their livestock they all go beserk. I was only testing my spells and ended up having to reload to earlier point. Luckily i auto'd just before entering the town.

They lub those chickens...

its not an exploit, u could do it in oblivion, and even after NotN and Shimering isles expansion they never did anything about it..

in oblivion i would get a toons sneak to max by runninginto a wall byt the very first mob, then after that, just have him running outta sneak till athletics was at 100, then near sewere exit u could stand on top of a chest in a wall cubby and run forward and spam jump and get a level on it every minute or so..

i has sneak, acrobatics, and althetics maxed on my toons b4 leaving the sewers in that game.. id save the profile, then reload and resave it separately and use the toon with maxed stats on those three skills as my base character. id change name/calling/etc and save the new toon separately, still preserving my toon with maxed stats in the sewers so when i make another toon, that one will also have maxed stats on those things...

its not an exploit cuz u gotta stealth / run and jump just as much to get it leveled no matter if u do it open world or run into a wall. takes the same amount of stealthing /running/jumping time.. i personally would rather let it level itself while i slept so i dont have to worry about it.

Have you tried having the guards arrest you and see if that stops the town from attacking ?

nah the guy a few posts above found the culprit, i attacked a chicken when sighting in my bow and towns folk went mad.

but, yes, i did try the guards, but there wasnt any gaurds in the first town that i found at all.. its more or less a glorified encampment instead of an actuall established town ><

yup i found this too. They all rage at you (in fact they could be some of the people on these forums actually in my game, now that's scarier than a dragon) but there are no guards so i have no idea what it takes to stop them raging except reloading. They just don't stop attacking you.

I too practised on a chicken first - they are nature's little targets. I think i liked the challenge over a cow, cow's are easy to hit.

Glad I read this. Was considering having me some fried chicken for dinner tonight. Guess I'll just pass on it.

Don't be too quick to abandon it. I haven't played much either, and haven't been to any other town, but, there are other places in that hold. The guide map shows Riverwood as in the hold of Whiterun, and there may not be guards there, so try hiking it to Whiterun the city (presumably the capitol). In this game, unlike Oblivion or Morrowind, your wanted status is not worldwide magically (as though they have modern radio communication or something). Now, you're only wanted in Whiterun hold. So go to another town with guards and try paying or going to jail there. Just a thought. It might work.

Also, I'm going to second the call for an explanation on the cheat garbage. I mean, I get it from too numerous examples, peoples' definition of "exploit" and "cheat" are pretty much whatever the hell they say they are, but honestly, would it be suddenly not cheating if instead of sleeping, he had stayed awake while practicing sneak long enough to legitimately get that score? It's not like he found a bug that added 5 to sneak for leaping under a light while hitting two buttons or some other obscure unintended programming fault. How would you get a 95 sneak and not feel like a "cheater"? Let me guess, by actually doing what he did, sneaking with a living thing close enough and remaining undetected? All he did was remove the crazy, long, boring wait that would probably lead people to otherwise consider it no fun, but legitimate starting tactic if they were in control.

I've had the opposite problem so far, though admittedly only still in my first "test the waters, nothing for keeps" run. Leveling is happening way too quickly. I just found my first frenzy spell which only affects up to level six things, and am already closing in on six. I've used it exactly once on that guard by the tower Todd goes up the mountain to and fires at a guy distantly, then gets attacked and uses his bow for the first time. I was way up on the mountain rock to the side of the tower where they couldn't see me. In he ran and got killed. One other guy comes out in a rush, looking for me, but no clue where I am. I watch him as he goes around the pillar at the end of the bridge. Then I used the raise zombie spell on the dead body from up there in the rocks. Backstabbed the lone survivor at the top of the tower, so technically, they all died and none of them ever saw me (the one dude knew someone was there, but he got eaten by a zombie, heh).

There are too many fun things to do at low levels and useful spells that are made pointless if you're playing through them raises you this quickly. I'm certain that it will slow down later though.

Who cares what someone does in their single player game? It's not cheating.

Let people play how they like and you do the same, win win. No need for name calling/labeling.

Wait three days and go back in and see if they forgive you. I've heard there was a 3-day thing...

I killed a chicken with sneak and ran off. Found a necro spell and returned, necro'ed the chicken in front of two kids, we stared at each other for awhile and then it turned into ash. I was sad. No egg.

And since no one saw me KILL it, no one care when I necro'ed it. Heh.

I remember hearing this in one of those early review of Skyrim, where the devs gave a few people an hour or so to play. One of them said they were attacked by a mob of angry villagers.

This sounds very much like the chicken snitch bug that they claimed to have discovered early on, but I would've swore they had fixed it. If you are unobserved killing the chicken, it must be it acting as the reporter of the crime, but that is the bug that's supposed to be gone. Or is this for in sight of people attacking it?
