Totally off topic since this was posted like a month ago but I had to stay in the hospital over the weekend and World War Z was one of the movies I got from their library to watch. I loved the movie... is it bad in comparison to the books? I didn't even know it was a book. Shows what I know. To be fair, I tried asking the dude who spoke broken english and was even worse at interpreting it(why was he answering the phone at a library? idk.), I had asked him if Tom Cuirse or Brad Pitt was in it(because I didn't remember what Oblivion was called and wasn't sure if World War Z was the one with Cruise or Pitt) and he had no idea what I was even asking. I also asked for Catching Fire and got the original Hunger Games. Also, Catching Fire was terrible compared to the first one or so I thought.
As for this game, I've been tempted to get it since I started playing Skyrim in the past year and love it. It sounds like it's more basic from my understanding. Rather than being lots of hidden stuff, everything is more easily found and in the open because it's multiplayer. If true, I don't know how I feel about that.
I'm on my third Skyrim character and after 91 or 92 hours of grinding, I have every peerless circlet and most peerless necklaces/rings. Going to have to make my own peerless destruction ring since the game is so flawed it's called "peeless". I've stolen 0 items with this character. Used 0 potions. Contracted 0 diseases(wear the necklace, don't want to be werewolf at the moment to avoid it). Used 0 potions. Eaten 0 food. Took 0 souls for gems(I purchase them). Used 0 books for leveling up. Used 0 training sessions(I've exploited it before with companion followers and conjuration follower from Tel Mythrin). 0 assaults(any thing on your map that isn't a red dot is assault... so deers, rabbits, unsuspecting victims even if they're bad guys who have yet to detect you). The only crime I've committed is lockpicking... when you're opening treasure chests in a cave, I'd like to know why that's a crime... lol.
With that being said, as I mentioned I have most peerless items, all master robes, probably 150 filled soul gems unused, tons of potions worth 2,000 stashed, 80,000 coins on hand, the 25,000 dollar place with everything furnished in Solitude(no other homes and zero bought horses even). I also have all of the enchantments other than water breathing, fiery soul trap, resist poison and chaos damage. Waterbreathing will come up in loot or a shop eventually, same with resist poison? Chaos Damage you get over in Raven Rock or whatever pretty easily from a merchant. And Fiery Soul Trap, I've never gotten it but it appears you can find it for sale "rarely" which I've never seen and look at every store or get it during a quest as a unique item(even though it's just a big steel axe).
My grinding character(3rd) as it stands over the approximately 90 hours I've wasted...

I should really get a life. But Skyrim... while grinding it out, I've done only like 3-5 real quests(I needed to do the ones in Solitude for a house) and Dragons haven't even appeared yet. Which is lucky for me because I've had to cheat by reloading when I entered Solitude at night and Vampires attacked. Being this leveled up makes the bad guys way more powerful and I watched them wipe out two guards and a towns person in Solitude like it was nothing. And you can't even intervene if you're avoiding bounties cause you accidentally hit the stupid people you're trying to defend. Here's a clue... I'm wearing Daedric Armor that's rated 570 without a shield(567 is max) with 85% restoration cast/grand healing and all sorts of enchantment on my armor, get out of the way.
Anyways, I wanted to make the baddest character I could without using the potion cheat(I call it cheat anyways) to make my bows or swords 9 million in power. It's why I avoided stealing and every other crime. At this level, when 4 or 5 guys are all going after you, it can destroy you quickly still. So, I wasn't ready to make it max and this is the first time I've filled up some categories without paying for it using a trainer. I finally know the game inside and out basically so in the future I can play it on a harder difficult. This time through to build up my stats by grinding, I didn't use any followers like I always have. They take so much attention away from you. As does conjuration if you can spit out artonach whatever or demora whatever. I haven't even been using the conjuration for that that because I'm too busy grinding every other category. I abuse the heck out of restoration though. I never once used it with my first two characters.
tl;dr
i'm a nerd, sorry.
