I have also found two dark soul gems, what are they for, do they hold more souls I take it?

Black Soul Gems are used for holding the souls of human enemies. No other soul gem (except for Azura's Star) can hold a human soul.

Also I had an emeny use a disarm spell on me and I have completly lost one of my "Flawless" enchanted Elven swords, I was so angry:mad:, I looked every were for it. I thought they just knocked it out of your hand, dose that spell really destroy it, or did I hit a glitch?? :confused:

All a disarm spell does it knock the weapon out of your hand. It should have still been on the ground around where you fought. I've had it done to me a few times and always picked my weapon back up afterwards.

Were do you get Azura's star man?

Nah man I spent nearly an hour looking for it and it was in a cave so not much ground to cover, must have been a glitch I was so mad dude. :mad:
 
^^ Yup, was fighting a Draugr Deathlord last night (crazy tough) and he kept disarming the only weapon that seemed to affect him, my bow with a fire enchantment. The Mace of Molag Bal didn't bother him :(
 
I have not touched enchanting at all and I do kinda regret it now. Level 41 and I've just vendored so much crap that I probabaly should have disenchanted.

Might completley forget about enchanting now tbh, do you think it'd be to late to start leveling it properly?

Cheers

You need to go to Azura's Shrine and start a quest off from there. The Azura's Star is your reward, but if you want it to hold human souls you need to side with one particular person at the end of the quest. It's quite obvious which side is which so I won't spoil it for you.

THATS HIM, thats the ****** that made me lose my sword:eek:, I did get an axe there though that when I dischanted gave me the firey soul trap spell, which I put on to the two Ebony swords I also got in there so not a total loss :D, yea man he was real tough.

I think the Draugr Deathlord and Morokei have been the most difficult fights in my thirty hours so far. I was ready to pack up. Thankfully, I got there in the end.
 
My toughest fights tend to be against Mages, they're just deadly accurate with their spells and hit for some real damage. If I can get a sneak attack in with my bow before they spot me I'll generally be fine as my bow hits for some major damage, especially with a 3x sneak bonus. In groups though I tend to get my ass kicked a few times.
 
I have also noticed that any time I have come accross some of the Falmers they seem to be real tough, I spent two hours one night just trying to take them out one at a time, if they come in a pack of two or more your toast, especially in the caves. Their basic weapons are pretty strong too.
 
I find mages most difficult to, in some boss fights I got so frustrated I knocked the difficulty down just to get past them. Cheating? Probabaly. :p
 
Just realised I've done 7 of the Daedric quests. Only another 9 to go, although I can't do one of them till I'm a couple of levels higher.
 
I've never really understood the use for guides in this day and age. I mean internet has all the answers if your ever really stuck and its free info (apart from internet bill :p )
 
20 hours in and I've just killed my first dragon! (well, except for the first scripted one). Just haven't seen many, a few flying overhead. So, went to Azura's Shrine last night and I could see a dragon circling around a mountain top. Thought, sod it, I'm having ya! Turns out it was a dragon burial sight. Long battle ensued, but the feeling of awsomeness when I killed it was well worth it. Although, I have NO potions left! Eek! Need to head back to my house and see if I have any in the chest.

This game is awsome!

Trust me, NO website will have all the info that's in the guide. I agree for most games, but this guide is epic! I also got mine for a tenner when I purchased that game, so somewhat a bargin!
 
The only thing that's iffy with this game is the botched AI. I was expecting another big battle just now and my enemy got stuck in a spot - easily slaughtered. :(
 
This would probably be the only game I'd get a guide for. Had a look at it and it does look pretty awesome. May pick it up when I get my copy of the game.
