I Just picked up Elder Scrolls IV For the PC and learning as I go
along. I never played any type of game like this as mostly I play
Traditional FPS Games such as Quake 4. I have to get used to spells and
decide which items to carry. It took me a while to figure out how to
drop items but soon realized I must choose carefully as you can only
carry so much . At the very beginning in the caves still... died with
those gremlin troll looking things ganged up on me. Lots of fun and I
can see now how RPG Games like EverQuest got so addictive... I
personally won't fall into that trap...gotta go and get some coffee as
it looks like I might need to deal with those damn trolls tonight.lol |

Will do. I see it gets really more involved than just killing
creatures then. So used to Doom and alike that I must rethink
everything. One Question: are all the creatures such as rats etc..you
meet against you? I could use a few of those giant rats and train them
to kill perhaps. oops sorry thinking back at Half -LIFE 2 Ant lions.
