One Biigggg Mountain!

From where I left off a lot has happened, after I found out that the leaders of The Companions were all actually werewolves... then I began to wonder if they would turn me into one as well, and I thought that the only way to find out was to carry on through The Companions quests. I went to one of their men and he gave me the quest of rescuing a member of Whiterun's civilians, little did I know that I was getting a surprise. I left Whiterun and instead of fast travelling I decided to run to my destination, on the way a dragon attacked me (which I was happy about), I thought since I've killed one then "I guess I can kill this one" and started attacking it but it was flying around everywhere spraying fire in the completely wrong places, it turned out that it was attacking a wolf, then a Sabre Cat, and then a band of giants and mammoths. Due to the fact I couldn't attack as strongly as a giant can.. the giant got the kill and I thought this meant I cant take the dragons soul..... WRONG!... I walked up to its body and got its soul, and used it to unlock fire breath which was a very good shout in my opinion, I also killed a giant and a mammoth (but they were only killed because they couldn't get to me, otherwise I would have certainly been destroyed). I headed to my Companions quest and I was greeted by some vampires that were holding my villager friend captive, I killed them and escorted him back home, I finally went back to Whiterun to tell The Companions of my deed. By now I thought it was time to go to the Greybeards. The hike wasn't actually as dangerous as I thought it would be, everything I thought was an enemy turned out to be a pilgrim or a hunter, although the trip its self was quite long, but eventually I reached the entrance to the Greybeards temple and almost instantly got taught 2 new words of power, I quite liked my stay with the Greybeards but they gave me a quest which I have yet to start, so I'm back on the roads of Skyrim.
Another post will be coming soon, so stay loyal to the Skyrim Community. Thank You for reading

Dragons and Werewolves!

I started Skyrim as a Dunmer which is the race I used to be 80% of the time in Oblivion. And I had a very slow start because of a tremendous amount of LAG!! But even with that problem bearing a burden on me, I carried on through Riverwood, to Whiterun where I started the main quest. When I arrived I took a simple tour through Whiterun and eventually got to the Jarl, then when I found out I had to go to Bleak Falls.... (or as my mind called it "that scary looking place with that dragon in the gameplay videos") I avoided the main quest till I thought I was strong enough. So I headed up to Winterhold to join the College of Winterhold (which is the equivalent to Oblivion's Mages Guild) and I joined them, I did the first quest for them quite quickly and then I noticed the huge amount of miscellaneous quests I had so I went round mostly the middle of Skyrim doing some of these quests. One of them was to join The Companions who are a band of fighters that believe honor and family to be great parts of their lives. But  before I joined them I had been to Bleak Falls, done the quest and returned to Whiterun to find out that there was a dragon nearby, I went and killed the dragon with flames while healing myself at the same time, and found out I was the Dragonborn (which I knew was coming). I headed back to Whiterun to become a Thane and earn the Axe of Whiterun which then made me want to join The Companions, so I went there and joined up (which is strange considering I'm mainly a mage). I would say one good reason was to improve my one-handed skill and to get stronger for my hike up to the Greybeards. I had to pass a trail to prove my strength and loyalty to The Companions, and during this trail in a tomb full of enemies I discovered that these fighters are secret Werewolves which was a great twist to the story.
And that's the point I'm up to in this amazing game, there will be another post soon. Thank you for reading.
