Your First 100 Hours In Skyrim - Where are you now and where

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 3:56 pm

After a long time I've finally reached one of my favorite gaming milestones: A hundred hours of pure Skyrim gameplay!!

I didn't want to make a thread just to talk about me, me me.

So, take this as a good opportunity to refresh your memory, if you've passed the 100-Hours mark a long time ago, or to look forward to reply and compare stats if you didn't get to it yet.

I did search for a topic like this and couldn't find anything this direct, but if there was actually one, sorry. I wouldn't mind a merge if that was the case.

--------------

Some quick guidelines:

- If you're close to reach 100 hours, or passed the milestone by a few hours, feel free to write down your current status. But if you're at, say 150 hours, you'll have to do a little exercise on memory ^___^

- Try to keep things as spoiler-free as possible. To mention that you're at a tall mountain is fine, but saying that's part of a important questline it's not!

- Edit: You can add another category to the discussion. I came up with "Skills"; "Explored Map", "Quests" and "Random".

--------------

I'll start, then.

Skills: I'm an Argonian lv 61, and only maxed out to 100 Restoration, One-Handed weapons, Illusion and Heavy Armor. My lowest skill is Alchemy, right at 25. I expect to get the max level of Light Armor and Two Handed weapons soon. Gotta confess I force the level up of magic skills like Illusion and Alteration by casting useless powers when I'm not into fighting. Otherwise, it's very rare for me to use them! On the other hand, restoration was the first skill to reach lv 100 naturally, since I'm playing at the highest setting and it was pretty hard on me, at the beginning =/

Explored Map: Believe it or not, I haven't been to two mayor cities yet: Markarth and Solitude. When I started the game I quickly moved to White Run, but then it took a loooong time to travel by foot towards Riften (I basically entered every dungeon I've found along the way). Then, it was Windhelm and Winterhold. Now, I'm almost done exploring the central zone of the map, and heading towards Markarth. Solitude will be my final city.

Quests: According to the Skyrim stats I did quite a lot of sidequests (More than 180!) but I barely started the big questlines. The "Mages Guild" and "Companion's Guild" quests are done (I liked the Companion ones more, exactly the opposite from Oblivion), but I'm only halfways with the Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild and the others. I prioritized exploration and random loot first. The next 100 hours will be focused on big things, including some long-running random objetives like Barenziah gems and those undead mages' masks.

Random: Just got married!! LOL. I thought I'd never seen the day... :tongue: Actually it was much easier than expected. Besides that, I own three houses, the ones of WhiteRun, Riften and very recently, Windhelm; but never bought a horse.


That'd be about it from me.

Hope to read your stories guys!!

Skills: I am a khajiit level 44, I have maxed out sneak and one handed, alchemy is quite high at 85, smithing is level 72 and light armor is 100. I play on the highest settings too!

Explored Map: I have discovered every city, It's amazing that you haven't :D, I have found a lot of places as well, It's incredible how many locations are in the game.

Quests: I have done all the guild quests and the main quest. I don't usually do them all, but this is my main character. I have done a lot of miscellaneous quests and a few side ones. My biggest achievement will be to do the stones of barenziah quest and collect all the dragon priest masks. My key aim in elder scrolls or fallout games is to do the really hard and tedious quests. I really enjoy doing them!

Random: 2 hours ago, saw a flying sabrecat... Pretty normal day in Skyrim anyways ;)

It was good to read yours too :D

Skills: I am an Imperial level 43 (No i am not with the Imperials thought they tried to kill me), I maxed out smithing :tongue: and one handed, Soon to be my lockpicking at 70 at the moment I play in master setting (Hard as heck if you ask me..) But worth it if you have a lot of expirence in the game itself I have also played over 100hrs in-game so kinda hard for me to remember a lot.... :tongue:

Explored Map: I have explored most dungeon's and and forts also city local areas including area's inside the city itself I'm quite proud of my exploration. :biggrin:

Quests: I have finished the main quests, most of the guild quests (Except barb collage) And to many side quests to even say'em or count'em. :woot:

Random: A few minutes ago i accidently turned into a werewolf inside a town and well... mayhem was caused cause of my mistake lol.. (Reload save?) :verymad:

23 hours here with my current char by now...

Skills: Lvl 25 Nord Mystic-Warrior, at 53 Restoration, 32 Alteration (I REALLY need to train this!), 51 Smithing, 47 Enchanting, 78 One-Handed, 38 Block (and this, too!), 60 Heavy Armor. I think the most pressing skill for levelling is Alteration, as I depend a lot of that School (Time Stop, Teleportation, Paralysis, Mark/Recall, Stoneskin-like spells, Transmute spells...), and ironically is the one I lack more about. Once a bit improved, it's Block turn. And later maybe a bit of Restoration.

Explored Map: Barely explored anything, really :D Only major cities I've been are Whiterun, Winterhold and Windhelm.

Quests: A bit of sidequests and Main Quest up to
Spoiler
Delphine and the encounter with Alduin
, and nothing else. Joined the Companions and the College and plan to do their questlines, but for now I just use their training.

Random: ...as soon as I find a mod to marry Danica Pure-Spring, I'll get it. She's sooo adorable :D
