Skyrim, First thoughts and experiences?

Fml. My guy lvled up too much before going to Bleak Falls Barrow and now the boss is rediculously hard. *sigh*

I'm buying Skyrim in a few days, this is what my character is going to be like,

I always thought dragon armour fully upgraded would have the best stats since you needed 100 smithing, but turns out daedric armour is the best. I know for future reference i don't need 100 smithing.

Dragon is the best light armor. Daedric is the best plate armor.

Anyone else find the Falmer yet? Went right into a dwarven ruin (Nchuand-Zel in Markarth) and swiftly got murdered by those bastards, even though I took Lydia with me. I killed a few to sell their stuff but it was seriously hard at Level 10. Also, I would love to use the highest tier armour but those sets are just so ugly IMO.

Difference on opinion but i think the armour sets look cool.

Makes sense, i'm lvling heavy armour anyway, so works for me. Also i have no movement penalty due to the seed stone.

By the time I first encountered the Falmer I was too much of a beast for them to handle. I think the highest tier armors look pretty damn cool as well.

glass armor looks the best imo

Elven is the best looking light armor. Daedric is the best looking heavy.

Apparantly the Falmer are pretty freaking accurate with bows, even though they are blind.

Smell?

How can you tell the distance or elevation of your target?

You can't.

Well super good hearing would be a better explanation.

My guess would be that they use a bat-like sonar system. Making high pitched clicking noises which they able to tell where a target is.


This guy is able to do it (you really only need to watch the first two minutes of this).

He is able to judge precise distance, elevation and the target's width and height? And he is able to judge how far his arrow has to be drawn back before releasing? And how would he find his bow and quiver when he wakes up in the morning, considering it may be on a flat surface, which won't give him the location because of it having the same height on the surface it is laying on.

If you watched the video you would realize this kid is hardly blind. And last I checked bows and quivers are not two-dimensional. But I'm also trying to inject logic into a video game, my explanation could be complete bullshit and the Falmer could just have some sort of physic powers.

I am saying that they do not give a significant change in height to be able to bounce soundwaves back strong enough for a human (or Falmer) ear.

The kid was able to find a towel, I think he can find a bow. Even if he couldn't he would remember where he put it last night.

The towel is flat, and wide, and hanging off of something sticking far out from a wall.

A bow is a skinny, crescent shaped figure.
