really trying to not play as I gotta get a tonne of schoolwork done, but I have a question regardless:

just how many dragons do I have to kill before I can use other shouts than the two I learned from the greybeards? I mean, I have learnt a good number of words in the dragon language and have something like 8 dragon souls, but the interface does not allow me to choose any other shouts :/

The pc interface again strikes;

Check the button layout in the bottom while having your shout selected, it has a button(F i think) called "use soul".

slow time is a gem, that and unrelenting force get used by me a fair bit, as does the whirlwind sprint to closing on casters/archers

I don't really bother with shouts. Only for the simple reason I cba to pause and then select the one I want. Hot keys are set for weapons and spells as it is.

I really hope someone comes up with a decent UI for this, the consolesque, default one is utterly dreadful. The game would be perfect with a decent MMO style UI.

A new UI is all this game needs. Its workable, but not nearly the same standard as the rest of the game.

Yeah the UI, once you get used to it, works fine enough. It needs work for sure, but it also has a bit of a learning curve.

Level 37 and I've only just seen the Greybeards. Only thing I hate about this game is alchemy crafting, so slow or annoying to gain in it.

So if I clear something but I haven't got any quest associated with it.. does that fuck me up ever doing the quest?

Made it to the zone wall last night after getting lost for hours.. found alot of stuff on my way round but was afraid to touch it incase it screwed me over.. Though I did don my second dragon :D.

Lets say you explore and finish a dungeon before getting a quest connecting to it, there is 2 scenarios that can happen.

1: You automatically get the quest entering the dungeon
and
2: When you meet the NPC that gives you the quest for the dungeon, you can just tell him that "him/her/that" have already been slain/found and complete the quest.

Happy days :D. Found a potential awesome little quest at the end of the world..

Trying to break up my gametime on it so I don't burn it out.

Now, whats the recommended perks for a Wood Elf 2h? :p

all perks are pretty self explanatory tbh, just pick ones that sound useful and good to you! I wouldn't stick to a build, the games not exactly challenging just putting shit into whatever you need!

Not really, some quests will break, like the companions, after they are attacked in Whiterun and you have already cleared the Silver hand keep, then you wont be able to get the quest and finish off the line, on pc you can wait 30 ingame days to make sure its respawned and then start the quest via console commands. And the dibella quest, can break, had my npc get killed by 3 dragons that decided to make the hamlet their home.

And bards college, if you pick up the flute from a dungeon for one of the teacher prior to get the quest, you wont be able to hand it in, tested console command for it but could not get it to work, the lute quest worked thou.

Haven't had that problem yet, as I tend to horde things rather than sell them, anything enchanted is stored, unless it came from a bandit or dragon I will disenchant it. All I have to do is go back to my house and find it.

Gotta love console commands, can fix bugs on your own (yes my companions know how to climb over a 1 foot rock damnit!)
