After graduating from high school, we moved from the Midwest to the East Coast where we studied classical music and a wide range of liberal arts. Neither of us ever even dated anyone else - we knew we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. My husband, Aaron, and I met and fell in love as teenagers. It’s always odd to try and fit your life story into a few lines but here is the short version: My name is Joshua Kennon. Update: I did it! I built a mage who is Level 100 Conjuration, Level 100 Destruction, and Level 100 Enchantment thanks to a strategy involving the use of alchemy. I need to get a lot done today, but I’m already thinking about turning the system back on, again.Īny of you playing it? What race and stats did you go with? I’m a high elf specializing in arcane magic, as usual. That’s one of the benefits of controlling your own time and being the guy who signs the checks, I suppose. I woke up and played for three hours this morning before going to work. I don’t have time to invest hundreds of hours in an immersive, enormous video game. At the same time, I’m in the middle of the six-month project. This is the busy season the time of the year when my attention is completely and totally spoken for nearly every hour of the day. The only challenge? The release of Skyrim could not come at a worse time. On a positive note, the quasi sphere-grid system reminiscent of Final Fantasy X looks promising. Plus, unlike Dragon Age, which allows you to have a quick switch radial dial that is ingenius, here all you have is a “favorites” menu, which is far less fluid and flexible. It feels like I have to fight the system. I tend to prefer to play in third-person and the camera doesn’t swing back far enough from my player to give me any perspective or appreciation for the landscape. So far, I’m really enjoying the game with the exception of the camera angles, which are frustrating compared to some of the other big franchises. In this case, both are thrilled with as near-perfect ratings as you can get.

The critics don’t always get it right but game players normally do. Given the insanely great reviews for the series, it seemed like a good franchise to take on faith, just like we did with Fable II, Uncharted 2, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, etc. The new Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released on 11/11/11 and I had it pre-ordered for Playstation 3 back in September so it would show up on release day. My brother-in-law told me about the Elder Scrolls games, which I had never played. The environments in Elder Scrolls V Skyrim are beautiful.
