I usually just ignore dragons and let them kill NPCs while I continue my quest. Then again, I'm at the point where I do that to pretty much everything. "Oh look a fortress, full of bandits, been there and done that. What's that a cave? Full of renegade mages? Again... What about this troll/bear nest? Nah. Oh ruins! With the same old draugr and skeletons... for the fifth hundred time.".

The game just lacks unique places and the enemy AI and diversity is just non-existant.

I'm getting to the point in Skyrim where I don't really want to play it any more but I know there's still a shitload of stuff I haven't done yet so I feel like I should keep playing. Oblivion did the same thing to me. I think Bethesda tries too hard to give you so much shit to do. I'd prefer a 20 hour game that kept me interested the whole time than a 100 hour game that loses its touch after a while.

I am at the same point. Its a problem I have with most "open world" games. There's plenty of stuff to see and do but none of it particularly amazing or memorable. I prefer games with a focus over games without one.

Decided to finish my first run through Dark Souls and check how much I learned in New Game +. Managed to get a certain vessel in about 6 hours, compared to like 50+ hours it took me on the first run to get there. I pretty much just plowed through the areas and aimed for the bosses, ignoring much of the loot. It felt great to notice I've learned a lot (and got some pretty bad ass gear, which always helps). Cant wait for NG++!

I've been playing Dark Souls pretty much non-stop since it arrived on the Finnish shores last Friday. I'm now at the last boss with SL 85 wondering if I should just finish it and go to NG+ or do some co-op and farming while I can.

Dark Souls so far: GotY 2011.

There were also some minor changes to terrain generation when going from 1.8 pre to 1.8 which caused some odd chunk borders around the world. And the lack of snow in 1.8 probably means we have to move a long way to get to a winter biome... not to mention mushroom biomes, updated abandoned mines and such.

So either update to 1.9 asap or even restart the map, I don't mind either way really.

vnieminen's Swamp Manor is mine, as is the small cliffside hideout (1?) and the wooden cottage (4?) on the last screenshot. When I go out and look for awesome stuff I tend to make some kind of a resting place nearby once I find something. Yesterday I found a sand filled spawner in a desert and a sunken spider spawner on the lake below that wooden cottage (you can see the dirt area used to dry the place). 8-)

I've been thinking of making a video of the "Chasm" that is under the swamp. There's like two different abandoned mines there and 7 or so underground ravines right next to each other.

Oh and there's someone's base just north-west of the spawn (when looking at that map above).

Seems everything's working again.

Yet I have not found anyone else's creations yet except for the rest hut next to spawn. :O

I died in the swamp near spawn and dropped a ton of experience orbs which caused me unable to play as I would get insane lag and 0 fps when trying to approach my shit. Could be what Chyka also had.
