got this game the other day, loving it so far - Fallout New Vegas's gameplay mechanics feel archaic in comparison!

Have only made it as far as Whiterun though, killing a couple of mammoth at level 7 with a bow although tedious was quite lulzy

As a power gamer, I can warn everyone that playing this game as a NON-Powergamer is far more entertaining. If you try to get the ultra best gear an ultra best strategies you can easily 'break' it and make the game way too easy (even on master)

Be warned before you hit that console key, or google for tips!

Good news, finally got rid of the vampyrism! and now am actually starting to enjoy the game. Am at a level 16 now and am mainly upping the stamina so i can carry heaps more.

Nismoid - i am now following your strategies, ie get smithing up then buy the house. I have a bucket load of dragon scales etc which i want to put to use but they weigh so much.

Have now got a follower, had to pay the b*tch $500 to come with me, kinda like a glorified prostitute really, but she carries a bit of stuff and she is good with her hands... just like a prostitute :-)

Have joined the thieves guild and have completed a couple of jobs for em. Has anyone joined the companions?

I am starting to lose track though of the main quest as there is sooo many side quests.

Last question - did you guys go heavy or light armour? and are your smithing selections based on heavy items as well? or light stuff? I am primarily hoping to be an archer so trying to figure out if it is best going heavy or light armour?

there are free folowers, if you've killed the whiterun dragon you can get lydia to follow you around, she does a decent job.

before that i had faendal? the elf guy from riverwood or someplace or rather, he also gave me free archery training action-smiley-069.gif

i just like them for carrying stuff around.

and lol same! i dont even know what the main quest is anymore, ive done far too many side quests. im doing the companion quests

the quests are alright but they make you travel alot rant.gif but im just lazy and hate walking about skyrim lol

You may want to sell off some dragon bones and scales as you dont actually need that many to make the dragon armor.(you need 13 scales and 6 bones for a full set of heavy armor, that includes chest, boots, gauntlets, helmet and shield)

I also joined and completed the companions quests. you get a bad ass axe at the end. Im up to the last thieves quest but am not completing it as it involves you returning a certain artifact that i find very helpful.

I got my smithing up to 100. spent a fortune doing it, buying leather strips and iron ingots from all over the place. Never enchanted them before i sold them so i'd spend almost 1000 gold on resources and sell the daggers for just over 100. Lost a lot of money.

ok then next question, do followers give away your sneak attacks? eg do they have the same capabilities in sneakiness as what i do?

Nope.

As long as you are far enough away, and in sneak... If you shoot your follower will just stand behind and wait.

Once you get 5,000 gold for the house in Whiterun there's a little trick you can do to get the house for free and all the decorations - It's not a glitch either.

Don't suppose it might work for the other buy able houses?

Yeah you can, I did it for the Proudspire Manor which is 25k lol.

If you want to get the house for free you have to have the gold the house is worth i.e. if the house is 25k gold you need to have 25k gold. So what you do is go to the person selling the house and say you'll take it then as soon as you click that option quickly cancel and stash your gold in a nearby chest/wardrobe etc. You'll get the house but none of your money will be taken. Then simply open the chest you put your gold in and there it is :)

Make sure you save beforehand because you need to be pretty quick.

Yeah it does. I did it the other day... just do exactly the same as buying the house, and hide the gold.

Here's a cool vid on how to do the free house thingy

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
