Yeah, I hate that damn troll. "Are there any dangers up there?" "Nope, just some wolves." BULL [censored]

Yeah...don't talk about that here. You'll likeing get a warn/ban/suspension.

I just used lydia as a meatshield for him, and ran like hell.

i think those bastards are immune to frost damage makes sense..
try to go to labrynth bro it's a cool place there

The quest for unrelenting force comes with foes akin to the accepted philosophy, fate it seems has a sense of irony. Morpheus would be pleased - the Dovakhin however... not so much.

indeed, for example,
after every kill - save
before lock any chest - save (in case of running of lock picks)
after empty the said chest - save
before any door / load area - save
before leveling up - save
after leveling up - save
before turning a quest / talking with some one - save
after turning a quest / talking with some one - save
before buying / selling booty- save
after buying / selling booty- save
before pick someone's items - save
after pick someone's items - save
after doing a "hard" save, do a "quick save"
before exiting the game - save
also, once a week copy your save game file to another drive, if the main hard drive fails, you don't lose your char save file


these are the rules that I use when play the game

for extra protection I use autosave, also

(ok i might over save just a little bit ....)

save = quick save unless otherwise noted

Learn to save. Learn not to die in stupid ways.

I just FUS RO DAH'ed him over the cliff, what I do with most trolls. Or a wall, I FUS RO DAH'ed him into something.

u cant fus ro dah him u need to complete several mission for the greybeards first, u must retrieve the horn at a dungeon
u meet the ice troll the first time u climb the seven thousand steps to meet the greybeards for the very first time. u can only do the small fus shout which only staggers ur opponents for 1 second, it doesnt really pushes them

Just be happy you didnt have to face 1 right after that. for some reason on one of my characters at level 5 i went up killed that one and thinking i was done got surprised and pummled by a second

The part that surprised me is that, after walking all the way to Ivarstead from Whiterun, he didn't even step inside one of the Ivarstead buildings (which would have generated a newer autosave).


But yeah - the idea of not saving constantly is foreign to me. I don't count on autos & quicks (although I do use them) - I make manual saves all the damn time. Especially at milestones (like "about to enter a new town / dungeon").

I loved that troll! i was a low lvl char when i met him aswell, was an epic fight!

When I first played Skyrim it seemed a while before anything killed me, but I remember encountering this Troll. Boy, did he p*ss me off. I knew he was susceptible to fire, but I only had Flames, and it seemed to do so little damage. Took ages to get rid of him, but was so satisfying to finally prevail. I still get a sense of dread whenever I meet a Frost Troll.

Not to take away from Mr. Ice Troll, but I seem to remember my first encounter with a giant being a huge reminder of how weak my character was. At least you don't get to go to space camp when the troll hits you. Oh and summoning something to draw it's attention is a good idea, or just use faendal from riverwood as a distraction since he's a follower you can get early on

Trolls Bane warhammer will make short work of him and any other troll at low levels.

I tried to kill that demon a dozen times, in the end I just ran away, I wonder if hes still up there..

Why not. I'm sure it's cozy up there.

But if you learned something from the experience, didn't you gain something? All rewards must not be tangible.

This is fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru0qBYz2Y94

I just died laughing. You have truly mastered the Thu'um!

When I first go there I steal the horse from whiterun and ride right past him. That happened to me once. But never again

This. I never once died from that troll. I got close with my first character, but it wasn't much more than running in and attacking, then getting out of his range, running away and healing doesn't hurt either if you get close to death.

i rememebr that. i asked waht was up there and he said just wolves, expecting an easy fght i climb up and end up running for my life back down (i turned tail the second i saw it but it noticed me as i snuck away, the poor pilgrim never left the mountain again), oh, and i kill that guy who told me it was just wolves

Very first time he caught me off guard. Well placed rock and arrows saved my life. Now I just run by him like he's not even there.
