Anyone Played Skyrim (Elder Scrolls V) Yet?

[Caspin]

Those are good tips, thank you Minty. I watched a lot of Skyrim this weekend, being played by people who can actually handle PS3 controllers. Then I was made to have a go, so I made an elf character and repeatedly ran into walls and fell of parapets until people had laughed themselves into a stupor. I really am useless at this kind of thing! Having said that, I did manage to shoot a wolf with an arrow through the eye, resulting in a fab slow-motion effect, and strangled some hapless bandit with a big war axe (I decided that two-handed weapons were a good choice, since I have zero chance of coordinating a one-handed weapon and shield). All good fun

Here's a question for you guys - is there any way of obtaining a good supply of those pink soul gems other than to just buy them from traders?
