Weehaw I finally got my hands on this bunches of fun.

So I'm still not supposed to install it, correct?

The visuals so far are fine and there has only been a tad bit of loading stuff but MAN it is driving me crazy not having this installed. I don't want my Xbox to do any work for fear it will kill itself..

Anyway the game is fucking terrific so far!

I installed it and I am fine with it.

During your game time, I would suggest that you take a close look at an item with your game not installed, make a save right there, then quit and install it. Afterwards, go back and look at the item again to see if there is a difference. I couldn't tell if there was or not, so I kept it installed.

Just my 2 coppers.

ANYWAY, on topic, I am confident I'm simply awful at this game. I have it on the easiest difficulty, wear the heaviest armor i can find, use the strongest 2 handed weapon i can find and use the occasional shout werwolf and bow... I'm level 14 or so with 60+ in 2-handed and 50+ in heavy armor, but all my other skills are awful...

My girl found a money glitch in Solitude. If you go to angeline's aromatics, you can invest 500 dollars over and over into her store. This makes her overall gold get higher and higher and stay that way. For some reason, when I tried this, her gold reset back to normal when I waited for two days. But my girlfriend has her gold limit up to 10000 and it never resets. So its something you may want to experiment with.

I think anyone who is new to Elder Scrolls should start out with a Sword/Shield build. Fairly hard to get yourself killed.

Well I'm not new to the game, nor do I ever like blocking. I have no problem with not getting killed for the most part. I use full steel armor and a huge ass hammer. I'm really just going around randomly finishing quests in no specific order (hence I've barely touched the main quest but have started most of the quest lines).

My favorite death came about 2 hours ago i was climbing some huge ass mountain JUST to get to a cave on the other side of a single cliff, and i fought off bears, frost giant thingys and a dragon at the top of the mountain. took me about 20 minutes or so because i wasn't quite sure how to take on the dragon (it was only the the third one I've ever killed, the first one being part of the main quest and the second a giant killed for me...). Anyway, was almost there... and I accidentally fell of the cliff and died, having to return all the way to the other side of the mountain before the bears. Moral of the story is save every now and again and don't fall off cliffs...

Boyz, I would recommend not using a two handed weapon, they are far too slow and hardly do any damage. Try getting a couple swords and whichever ingots you need to upgrade them at a grindstone. They'll almost certainly do 4x the amount of damage that your hammer is doing.

I use the funny looking swords, Scimitars or something, I call them Aladdin swords. I dual wield them and each one on its own does 115 damage. I can take down a giant in a single power attack and dragons in 2-3 hits.

Nope, the Scimitars are just swords you find on a few certain enemies. They're supposedly the rarest weapon in the game. They're only worth 6 gold if I were to sell them, but they're about 10 points stronger than daedric swords.

^^^ I just picked up 2 scimitars & they are way more powerful than the axe or whatever the hell 2-handed thing I was using before was. I only have them upgraded to superior though but still much better.
