I always tend to make my first character in each new ES game a male imperial specializing in stealth, strength and agility, kit him up in heavy armor and then make him really good at stealing stuff and beating people down with swords (the loud boots thing has been killing me, I'm in full steel armor but with hunstman mocassins on!). Otherwise I make pathetically frail and weak elf thief types. I just like stealing stuff in elder scrolls I guess. I find archery really tough at the start unless you have an unapproachable vantage point, otherwise they just run up to you and you have to switch to the sword anyways. I was never really into spells either.

I've only played through the first few quests though and have no idea how to successfully do the disposition game. The horses and fast travel are much needed additions though.

How similar do your characters look to you? Mine is pretty close, the game really lets you change every facial detail.

Anyways, I should be at CM for 6pm.

operator 05-26-06 02:14 PM

Wait 6? Doesn't it really start at 7?

FFL Ride in 9 hours!!

eyefloater 05-26-06 10:19 PM

So I just installed the aero bars and took them for a test ride. All of a sudden, my saddle feels too low. Did you (Operator or anyone else who has used these craaazy things) notice the same thing? Is it just a feel thing that'll go away quickly or should I make some adjustments? I'll have tools on me tomorrow so I can change things either way, but I'd like to make any adjustments tonight if they're required.

operator 05-26-06 11:12 PM

You typically move forward on your seat when on the aerobars, you probably do need to move your seat up a bit but then that screws your position for off the aer0bars. Tri guys have those crazy fast foward seatposts.

I'd say leave it for now and then mess with it after the ride (72ks on bad fit = not cool).

eyefloater 05-26-06 11:50 PM

Thanks for the last minute voice of reason.
