Heres a little story I wanted to share with some people I thought might enjoy it-- Im playing a wood elf. My main skills focus is on sneak, alchemy and archery. I only use a bow for my weapon.

I was sneaking along as usual harvesting some lavender just north west of Whiterun. It was a peaceful evening and I was on my way back to town to sell my loot and make some more potions. I stopped to admire the vibrant green aurora that illuminated the darkening sky, when suddenly Alduin flew over head. I quickly pursued him, hoping for a battle with a dragon. Shortly after my wish came true when Alduin stopped and hovered over a burial site and began awakening a dragon. "Heck yes!" I thought as I watched the dragon materialize. I pulled out my bow, poisoned an arrow and delivered my first shot. Perfect hit! A few moments later, we were in the midst of an increasingly heated battle, when I noticed a person attacking me. "What the...? Dude, can't you see I'm busy?" So, as the dragon continued to attack me with his fire shout, this apparent random assassin joined in with his little dagger. After taking care of this pest, I returned to the dragon battle. His hp was at about half by now and I was ready to get that soul! I decided it was time for a shout, so when the dragon landed, I equipped Frost Breath and let 'er rip. But as soon as I did, a giant came out of no where and got right in the way of the shout. "Great. Just great. " The giant immediately turned on me and started wailing on me with his club. This was my first fight with a giant and his strength took me by surprise. After diminishing my supply of health potions and poisons, the giant finally fell. But the dragon was still about, and wasn't letting up for a second. I went to turn my focus back on the dragon, when this freaking mammoth charged me!! Close to death, I ate my entire supply of food and ran like crazy occasionally turning to shout and let an arrow fly. Luckily for me, the dragon decided that he was suddenly in the mood for some mammoth steak and turned on him and I was able to deliver the finishing blow. But I couldnt rejoice just yet. I was out of potions, poisons, food, and now......arrows, and the dragon was swooping towards me fast. I frantically searched through my inventory for something that i could use. Then I found a staff of fireballs that I was planning to sell. I equipped it and sent a smoldering projectile right at the dragon's face and immediately followed it with a shout. It was just enough to finish the dragon, but the best part was that when the dragon died, he flopped around like a fish and disappeared into the ground. I ran over there, afraid that I couldnt absorb the soul. I looked around for the dragon's icon to appear....nothing. I was ready to scream when suddenly, the dragon fell out of the sky and landed in a field in the distance.

Most fun I've ever had.
