Does anyone else save at the end of the sewers in the tutori

Post » Tue Aug 09, 2011 9:18 am

Was just curious if many other people did this so you don't have to start over from the tutorial each time you play, and since you can readjust everything about your character at the end of the tutorial, it make starting over entirely pretty pointless. Every time I start over I just start at the end of the sewers. I mean lets face it, the tutorial gets old.

Oh yeah, a lot of people do. You can see just how many people do that by playing Fallout 3. It *automatically saves in a new file with a unique name* when you get to the tutorial exit. Just like we do manually for Oblivion. If Skyrim has that sort of deal, you can expect it to save as well.

The only problem with doing that is that you are locked into the particular skills you improved, and the gear you picked up, during that one run-through of the tutorial. If you're a role-player, that might not be what you want.

For example, one skill that is easily advanced to Apprentice during the tutorial is Sneak. That's great if you're planning a sneaky character, but not so great if your next character is going to be an Orc warrior in heavy armor. Likewise, that Orc might be picking up the heavy armor during the tutorial, but if your next character is going to be a Breton mage, you're likely over-encumbered.

It's not a big deal, obviously, but if one is planning to make multiple characters from that kind of save, one might plan carefully, and do a little bit of everything during the tutorial.

I have loaded the save with the tell-tale image of the sewer exit more times than my dishwasher.

What's funny is I've made multiple characters, but only with my last one (EradiKate) did i actually save just before the sewers ended. And that's only cuz I was undecided about her name and a couple other minor details. I initially called her "Miss Terri" (as in mystery) but everybody here hated that name. :)

I save at the end of the sewers for all my characters.However that save is for that character alone,to exit the seweres then come back and make a few tweaks.

As glargg mentioned earlier there's different kinds of characters that level different skills.
This doesn't work for my roleplaying.
One character may never use magick the entire game,while another uses allmost only magick.
If i am roleplaying a character that never uses magick and the save at the end of the sewers has allready used some magick then there is allready an imediate character flaw that just doesn't work for me.

I used to, but stopped after a few characters. I enjoy the tutorial and like how it helps me start to know the character - I would never short change it. I also consider the time it takes to do it a token drop in the bucket. Even if I wanted to restart the same character, I would simply begin a new game in the prison cell and import her face via Wrye Bash.
