i'm a whisker away from Level 50 at around the 120hr mark.

I'm so powerful now that nothing troubles me, i've stopped bothering to sneak and instead just storm in trying to pull as many mobs as possible to make it interesting

With smithing and enchanting at 100 i've made such good gear of my own that nothing i find is of interest so i rarely bother looting anything but gold

i've got so much money that i can't be arsed selling stuff either so what i do loot just ends up in a chest in my house. I've hundreds of items, none of which i will ever use

I now avoid speaking to people as i've no interest in helping anyone out anymore

I'm not sure if bored is the right word but playing it now feels more of a chore than anything. I've no real discovery left, I fast travel basically everywhere just picking up and dropping off bullshit quests.

I just can't stop playing it though!

Any word on whether the patch will fix bugged quests, i've had a deadric one glitch on me meaning i can't complete it which is annoying as hell

I had another broken one where I had to collect some things for an alchemist. Killed some giants for some powdered tusks, got some snow from the throat of the world and then had to get a forewarn briar heart. I killed the guy, took his heart but I still can't progress. Apparently I can't continue as I already had a briar heart when I started the quest. Can't drop either of them either as they are apparently 'quest items'. That really is schoolboy programming from Bethesda. It really is a mammoth game and is great fun but some of the glitches are so frustrating.

In fairness to Bethesda, I don't really think you can have one without the other... a massive game will have more bugs/glitches, there's absolutely no way they could test for everything, it would take far too long.

Having said that though, the PS3 crashing thing is/was unacceptable.

Did anyone get the glitch where they go to Fort Neugrad to liberate it, free the prisoners and kill everyone, but you can't end the quest? I'm meant to talk to Ralof but all he says is that there's more of them about - There's definitely not, I've searched the whole place about 5 times. Anyone had this before?

Yes, I experienced the same thing. It's not actually a glitch. You need to go into a different building.

There's a bunch of guards in a different building. Took me a while to find them. The prick was just stood at the door babbling about more enemies, even though I had cleared that particular building.

I googled it, and have seen people talking about a glitch, so maybe you've already killed them? If not, I would guess you aren't victim of a glitch. Yet, anyway.

The dragon priests scare the shit out of me, only managed to kill one. I don't really have a problem with any other enemies, even the draugr death lords and foresworn briar hearts aren't really a match now that I'm full legendary daedric.

Well everything happened so fast. I had no idea that I was supposed to do it stealthily, so I just ran in through the front gate and suddenly I was surrounded. I went and cleared out the whole fort too. It was only about 30 mins later that I realised that you had to go in through the prison and get the key. Everyone's free, the soldiers are chilling out in front of the fort but yet he still says there's some others to kill... I look more around the courtyard when I'm next on

So, I've basically completed every major quest line, the civil war, the main quest, dark brotherhood, thieves guild, companions, and am the arch Mage. I have 3 of the priest masks so I'll try and get the rest of those and do as many daedric quests as I can.

What else is there for me to do?

Get all shouts. It can get a bit tiresome doing one after the other. If you're on a console then getting all trophies/achievements should prolong the game life.

God quests, they're a good laugh especially liked the Alice in Wonderland style one. I couldn't tell you how to start them though I just stumbled upon all the ones Ive done, I know the murder mystery in Windhelm leads to a Molag Bill one though pretty good all in all. The one in Soltitude Blue Palace has been my favorite so far!

Does anyone have any tips on defeating alduin on top of throat of the world? I use dragonrend to down him, but one fire breath and I'm dead?!

Try to avoid being hit by his fire breath?

Weird, I wasn't anywhere near dead after just one of them attacks. You got no armour or nothin'?

Haha, Daedric armour!! Turns out I was just to close to where he lands! Moved out of the way and picked him off with my bow!

"Report to the Jarl of Whiterun," says the game. So off I trot, like the loyal Thane that I am.

Only to find Balgruuf in the pool in front of Dragonreach. Not swimming, just casually chilling under water. So I dive down, and it tells me I've got the option to talk to him. Pressing X yields no results though.

Eventually I have to resurface, as my character is drowning. Balgruuf just stood there the entire time watching me.

So, I have conclusive evidence that Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun is some kind of zombie merman creature.

I finally started the main quest the other day after doing pretty much everything else of note. I thought I might as well get to the stage whereby I could fuck around with absolutely everything on master and all that, then start it.

Well, I'm two missions in, and the dragon (Alduin) is doing nothing but flying over the burial site. I've looked online to see what he's meant to be doing (resurrecting a dragon), but he's just there doing fuck all. Needless to say, I'm fucking annoyed! I've reloaded several times, from several different save files, but to no avail.

I havent played this in about 10 days, mostly due to having to do actual work at my place of work and not being able to sit around and play games. I'm gonna get the last couple of priest masks, do the thieves and DB quests, kill Alduin, then sack it off.

I've been off it for a while, but that's because it's lagging a bit more nowadays and I'd rather just shelve it until a patch that works comes or till I know it's not going to be fixed. Either way I'm going to make my way through the rest of the main questlines

Nearing 100 hours and I've got Companions, Civil War and Dark Brotherhood left to do.

75 hours in and level 43.

Killed Alduin at Sovngarde (assume that's the main quest done). Harbinger of the Companions, Arch-mage of the College of Winterhold, and half way through the Thieves Guild (got bored so reverted to the main quest).

Need to look at Civil War, Dark Brotherhood and Daedric Quests.

Anyone got any tips on upgrading my weaponry. I'm still working with a legendary steel warhammer, but have a dwarven warhammer, ebony greatswords in reserve. I'd really like to upgrade my bow too.

Do i need to get my head around enchanting? I just seem to disenchant things and destroy them, and then don't know how to use this gained knowledge. Is daedric weaponry as good as the armour, or do i need to enchant things.

My damage stats are comparatively weak I think, so any advice would be appreciated.

get yourself a daedric bow and a daedric greatsword,before you do though,enchant some things like a ring,necklace a helmet with smithing so when you smith them they will be even stronger,then go and enchant the bow and the sword too,you will need nothing else to complete the game.

Also, find and drink an exiliar of smithing potion... that, coupled with a ring, necklace, gauntlet and helmet of smithing should upgrade the shit out of your weapons and armours.

Pretty much, I've tested it to the limit...fast travelled, loading screens, killing multiple enemies, even running around whiterun which is awful for lag usually.

Developers recommended on loading up, make a new save file, switch off ps3 and reload and it made my save file a bit smaller too!
