I'm doing the quest "A False Front" and i need to "Retrieve the Imperial Courier's Package". After you ask for the documents, he will become hostile, so stay with your back to a corner inside the Inn and if possible tie a rubber band around your controller so that it keeps the block button (Xbox:LT) pressed all the time. So he will continually strike you and increase your block skill. You won't DIE if you're strong enough (my Khajit had block skill 49 when i started this, and after 30 mins he had 58).
Obviously this can be done with any enemy, put this particular guy, named Imperial Courier, won't kill you!!
Also, OH MY GOD my block skill is 61 now and i'm less than one hour doing this!! Also, turn on to the Master difficulty to acelerate the training!! Be careful not to get executed or anything so turn to Adept when you've lost a lot of health. Run around the Inn and heal yourself with magic. THANKs. My block is 62 now.
The real power held by the dragons of Skyrim are in their voices. As a Dragonborn, one of the most interesting activities you'll engage in is discovering, learning and equipping various dragon shouts. Ancient words of power, you discover these by reading runes scattered all around the world of Skyrim -- most of them in difficult-to-reach places such as the end of a challenging dungeon. The shouts give you various abilities: to push back and stun enemies; to breath fire or ice; to knock dragons out of the sky; even to slow down time. Each dragon shout has three components that must be found...

**•How To Make Skyrim Run Better On PS3!•**

Tired of the game-breaking lag with your 20meg Skyrim save files? Here is a guide to help prevent these issues:

1) "Deleting Excess Save Files"

•Go to "Save Data Utility" on the XMB & check how many Skyrim saves you have. If you have more then three, delete them. You must only have three saves maximum. Also make sure to delete any "Auto-Saves."

2) "Freeing Up HDD Space"

•Check how many GBs you have left on your console. Go to "Settings," "System Setting" & then open "System Information." It will show you how many GBs you have used and...

**•Battlemage Build Tips!**

#Combat:
•Use a one-handed weapon (Sword/Axe/Mace) and a DEFENSIVE spell in the other for mid-range combat. (Use frost against warriors & shock/lightning against mages.) This is because the weapon deals enough "offensive" damage, while the "defensive" spell weakens enemies, giving you time to attack. When the enemy is affected by the spell you just cast, run up and smash them up with your weapon. When you're out of stamina, just switch back to your magic. Repeat this until your foe is defeated. If you do have plenty of stamina, just do a power attack if they're...

Skyrim Fans...try Hunted: the Demon's Forge!

(#*This article is NOT by me*#)

"A really great game that cam out this year from Bethesda and InXile was Hunted: The Demon's Forge. Despite good exposure at E3 and other venues, sort of premiered as Gears of War medieval style (3rd person with cover system), Hunted did not do as well as developers had hoped. In a year full of big name franchise releases, if you weren't paying close attention to game releases, it was easy to overlook any of them.

As I have been playing Skyrim, I have been seeing alot of similarities in style to Hunted...the difference...

I stumbled out of bed when my uncle started howling.
He was still in the doorway, in our main room. He clumsily got to his feet as I approached apprehensively.
“Girl, make me some breakfast and then get your ass down to Fenia’s place.”
I got an apple and some goat cheese out of the cupboard, took a small knife from the table, and sliced the apple into wedges. I spread the creamy cheese onto it and placed it next to my uncle.
I quickly hurried out of the door and into the snow. The wind swept my golden hair behind my back, and I hoped Fenia would have me work inside.
I slid down a slope...

The hallmark of this series has always been player freedom, sometimes at the expense of any focus or through line to the story. Skyrim manages to get this balance just right. You can do whatever you want, pursue whatever quests and storylines interest you and work on the main quest whenever you feel like it.

And oh, what a world. Skyrim is a huge province and you are free to explore every inch of it. Design-wise, it's a beautiful if not flashy place. In the first hours of the game I found myself wishing that the architecture of Skyrim were more over-the-top. But I soon realized that the payoff...

As in the previous games, character creation is a joy. You can choose from among Argonians (that's lizard-folk), four types of humans (Imperials, Nords, Bretons, and Redguards), Orcs, three kinds of elves (High, Dark and Wood) and the feline Khajiit. Each race has its own history, agenda and of course, different types of skill bonuses.

In the first few minutes of the game you choose your race, design your characters look and pick a name. Notice I didn't say pick a class. Because Skyrim doesn't have classes. At all. This has been true of the Elder Scrolls games for a while, but Skryim doesn't...

**•Pure Mage Build•**

#Combat:
•Use Destruction spells and/or staves to either freeze, burn or shock your enemies. You can either dual-cast to deal more damage, or you could have a healing spell in the one hand whilst having a defensive spell/staff in the other. This is a good idea if you don't have many health potions. (Even though you should really stock up on those. They can be a huge life-saver for several occasions!)

#Health, Stamina & Magicka:
•When your health gets low in combat, you can either use health potions and/or healing spells. As a mage with light equipment, you do...
