I must say, though I was not a fan of Oblivion, I am really enjoying this game so far. I was skeptical on getting it just due to hype. But after listening to my brother-in-law talk about it and then watching him play for a while..... I was sold. I had been looking for a new rpg to play and thankfully these seems like its going to be a long and enjoyable one. I'm not to far in yet, but I will be soon.

I beat the main campaign and was disappointed with the boss battle. I'm enjoying killing things in the crypts and collecting dragon shouts. I have taken a break tho.

Anybody have a good strategy for taking out dragons whenever you are a lower level? I am only a level 5 right now and got my ass handed to me by a dragon yesterday.

Your best strategy when your that low a level would be to avoid the dragons. Either that or turn the difficulty all the way down until you've leveled up a bit and procured some decent armor.

I found that shout that stopped time, that helped immensely in tough battle situations.

The only reason I tangled with a dragon was because it was part of a misson I am doing for the imperial army. I still have to finish that mission which is why I was asking for tips. I think this time I am going to sit back and launch arrows at it for a while. Other than that I am trying my best to avoid dragons until I level up.

Having a companion always helps too. There's an elf archer in Riverwood that you can find early on. He'll follow you if you side with him in that easy side quest about the love letters.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out.

Edit: Also, is there any easy way to tell what weapons are one handed? I have a preference for the one handed weapons so I can use destruction/shields. I don't want to have to keep buying weapons just to see if they are one handed. Does anyone know where I can get a good one handed weapon early in the game?

Greatswords are two-handed. The bigger the sword the more likely it's two-handed.

Claymores, Greatswords, Warhammers and Battleaxes are two handed.

Waraxes, swords, maces, daggers and scimitars are one handed.

For a strong one handed weapon, head to a ship docked somewhere in the north and kill the guys on it for Scimitars, or do the quest for the redguards early in the game and help the woman they want you to find for more scimitars. You can upgrade them with either steel or iron ingot (can't remember which, they're both very abundant and cheap).

Glass and Dwarven maces upgraded do an insane amount of damage and also have very quick attacks.

Thanks man. That's a lot of help.

When in doubt. Summon your own one handed weapons. It's a painfully easy way to level up conjuration as well.

When you do that, isn't the weapon always in your left hand? So technically you are dual wielding? I have done this a few times, but I prefer to have that hand open for my flame or frost spells.

I must say, I am really enjoying this game a lot more than I thought I would. It's exactly what I was looking for.

I don't like conjuring bound weapons, myself.
