There is a headless horseman riding around for no apparent reason.

I have ~350 hours in Skyrim split between 3 characters and still am finding things I've never stumbled across before.

You know those drawbridges? They're nice catapults. Hilarity ensued when I first pulled the lever out of curiosity after slaying a bunch of bandits on one.

I also recently found out why Nilheim is occupied by non-hostile people only labeled as "guards"...

Been wondering about that for the longest time. Time for an investigation.

Not sure if spoilers or troll post...I've yet to finish the main quest, only playing through it fully on a single character, but Peryite wasn't represented as a dragon in Skyrim...

Sorry for the silly question but how do you check your hours played? I think mine will be alot but couldn't find it in the stats? I've seen so many surprising things. Loved being able to catch fish while swimming!

100? Heh, I'm well over 10x that and I'm still finding things.
You can also shoot the hawks out of the sky, by the way.


1000 hours. And I thought 185 hours for one character and the 60-70hours for the rest (6) was a lot.

Got to love playing on master difficulty to provide a challenge because my weapons are OP. Check this, Dragonsbane 518, Bolar's Oathblade 477. And now for armor. Dragonscale armor 364, Dragonscale boots 158, Dragonscale gauntlets 158. Im assuming we all know how to do this if not I can share the method with you all :)

I've been playing since 11/11/11 (first time I ever took a vacation day from work to play a game). Right now I'm at 620 hours in, using about 25 different characters. I still lack 5 achievements including the one for getting a character to 50th level. Seems I always retire them prior to then.

I very rarely find anything new anymore. I'm going back now and trying to do all the mini-quests for all the small settlements and odd locations. Those occasionally lead me somewhere new. The last one of any signification was the light house quest (under the light house). I was so not prepared for that.

On the Katariah when you come on the deck after killing the oculatus turn left and walk all the way up that column leading out and at the end there is a nice surprise waiting for u. !

Hehe, the other day I decapitated the wife of the innkeeper in Winterhold, right before her husband. As panic started I declared to the guard he should let me go at once because I am the thane of this little piss ant town. After that everyone was at ease again and I talked to the inkeeper (whose wive I just killed) and he we was very happy and thanked me for all the things I did for Winterhold :)

I'm still finding new locations after 800+ hours. Sounds like I need to go back to Blackreach with a couple of characters.
