Thieves guild question:
I need to clear a bounty without losing my stolen stuff. Someone in the dark brotherhood told me that the thieves guild can do that. HOOWWWWW!? WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN?!?

You can train 5 times max per level, so you can do 3 persuasion and 2 heavy armor for example. It's best to train skills that aren't your main skills but will come in handy, especially since training skills that you are proficient in is very expensive and you will just naturally level up those most used skills.

Sneaking is even easier,
in front of whiterun is a guard post where he doesn't move, just keep walking backwards and into the corner tie down the controller and do something for a couple hours

Well fuck, Skyrim sure is rough on my companions. I've had Lydia, Erandur and now Jenassa die on me. Lydia went down in a battle with a dragon, 2 giants and 2 mammoths. I'm not sure which one got her, but I think she might have gotten stomped by one of the mammoths. Erandur got mauled by some cave bears in
. I barely got out of there with a sliver of health left. Jenassa got killed in
and I have no idea who or what killed her. I noticed she wasn't following me and went looking for her. All I found was a pile of ashes. WTF!?
I don't usually lose henchmen this often in games since I generally deal out and receive most of the damage. Also, most games have the enemy AI focus on the player to a ridiculous degree. In this game my companions have been getting battered almost continually. Oh well, I guess I'll go grab that Azura priestess and give her a shot. :/

There is a main quest shout you can get that will
force them to land
DO NOT READ BELOW UNLESS YOU'VE COMPLETED THE MAIN QUEST.
Also, does anyone know how to
get rid of the frickin' Elder Scroll? It weighs 20 pounds but I can't drop it because it says it's a quest item. I'm getting a bit tired of having it in my pack, I'd rather display it somewhere.
guys, because of this game, i'm going to school tomorrow. i skipped all last week because i was depressed from not having a job, and was sleeping from 2-4am until 2 or 3pm. then i got this game saturday morning, played about 22 hours since, and now i want to go to class. and not because i'm tired of the game, it's because i'm full of energy again. which is weird, because i've been sitting on my ass the past week.
this game is magical

Man, about 2 hours into my first Bethseda game and I can tell why it consumes people's lives. There's already a ton of shit I can (and want) to do that has nothing to do with what seems to be the main questline. Sucks that I have to go to work tomorrow, but Im gonna be putting some heavy time into this during Thanksgiving break. Especially if MW3's netcode continues being dogshit.
Level 23 and I've nearly maxed out everything in the archery skill tree.
Literally nothing can take me out. Frost trolls, dragons, etc. If I'm fighting one on one, it is dead.
Only problem comes when I'm fighting groups. But good thing I'm stealth, because I can dwindle most fights down to 1v1

Loving Stealth/Archery
I haven't even tried using melee.. I find it hard to get behind guys without being noticed.. Guess I just need to keep leveling up so I can do that. For now I am pumping people full of arrows. 1 shotting them from a distance is so satisfying
I guess one day I'll learn how to backstab !
But leveling 'Sneak' is really simple. The shout that distracts people is also a godsend.. I love it. Been using it like crazy and it auto levels your sneak. Likewise its great to see what enemies are ahead or around a corner without aggroing them.
Went from Lvl 10 to 16 tonight. Upgraded Blacksmithing to 50.

I'm playing as a sneaky archer too. I absolutely love the game but if there's one complaint I have, it's that you can only walk very slowly backwards, unlike Oblivion where you could run backwards whilst blasting arrows into the enemy. It's only really a problem in tight dungeons where you can't kill an enemy with one shot and they reach you quickly. I totally understand that they did it because animating a character running backwards would look like shit, I forgive them

Actually they did it specifically to deter you from running backwards and shooting shit at enemies.
Man, can't seem to trigger Blood on the Ice to start. Everyone in the town is talking about
Anyone have any ideas on how to get this going?
the murder, but there's no one to start any quests or investigation. I wasn't there when the crime happened and I can't seem to buy the house until this "matter" is taken care of. It's annoying because I really want to move out of that tiny house in Whiterun

Anybody else actively avoid some cities and quest lines so as to make their second play through more unique?
Wallach said:
and i think there may be a perk for 2 handers or one handers specifically made for power moves when walking backwards. i cannot remember which (tired at the moment).
edit: yes, chuck norris. i am avoiding the dark brotherhood and the thieves guild until i play my second character which will be thief/assassin. doing companions and other shit with my nord.

In that case, it sucks.
Good lord.
I'm now approaching 4 hours into what was once Tolvald's Cave; it has evolved into something else entirely. The journals I've found only hinted at this place. My planned Thieves Guild quest is long forgotten.
The enemies are numerous and gonzo powerful. I'm still stealthing it - an arrow from sneak from long range, a slinky get away, then return a minute later for another. More and more
and my arrows (shot from about 50 yards away) barely make a dent in it. It's the 3rd class up of its kind, and the first level can crush me in 1 on 1 combat. I think it's guarding something.
So far I have four, maybe five pieces of epic loot, including a staff of shock damage worth 1,500 gold that can do 40 points of damage per blast, tripling my previous most expensive item, and most powerful staff. It is as good as I am in over my head. And I'm way the hell in over my head. The high risk, high reward exploration I wanted from Skyrim is here, in spades.
I'm terrified of these guys, and keep having to ditch food and leather to carry my loot. I have no idea how much further this place goes, but I'm not going to bed until I find out.
This game. This freaking game.

dwarven ruins and machines - still active - are showing up. I'm deep into Tolvald's Crossing now, and just ran into something called a Falmer Nightstalker,

So is anything interesting supposed to happen after you get married? I married my shieldmaiden Jordis and nothing really changed. No new dialogue options except for asking her to cook food or sell me stuff (no "join me in bed" option lol).

So, I am having a really hard time lockpicking...apart from just doing trial and error, move pick randomly and rotate lock.
Any tips?

So pretty much the only other Khajiit I know (besides myself) is also a mage...and he wants to tag along!
Skyrim didn't see this coming...
They do. I've had this Staff of Charming that I haven't been able to get rid of for hours and have no idea what quest it is for. Don't even remember where I got it.

This game bruh...
I was admiring the beautiful night sky wishing I could take a nice screen cap when a dragon flies across my field of vision. It was gloriously epic...
...until i realized how bad my ps3 was chugging. I killed the dragon before the textures loaded so it looked like I was fighting a giant flying turd.
No game has made me want a high end PC more. GOTY

I think it's pretty much confirmed that Skyrim will either be my GOTY or runner-up. Skyward Sword is the only game left that can top this. No other game is beautiful enough to still have me stop what I'm doing to just look at the world 20 hours into it. And there is just so much to do in this game. I never progressed far in Oblivion because I found it boring and ugly as hell. I could have modded it, but I had other games to play. Skyrim had me hooked from the moment I was on my own, and I see no signs of slowing down. God I love this game.

Has anyone come across what you can do with soul gem fragments? I can only assume you can forge them into a soul gem but I have no clue.

My lvl 21 dark elf mage/assassin/thief has 15x stealth damage with daggers, +15% to one-handed weapons, and +60% to one-handed weapons.
I one-hit draugrs with stealth attacks, even on Master. So much fun sneaking through a dungeon and trying to one-hit all the baddies.
Picking perks is so hard though... at one point I had 8 perk points un-used. I really need to respec some of them!

Don't bother. The highest you should go is Assassin's Blade.
Oh my fucking god...just got attacked by two dragons at once. Ended up taking one out, the other flew off and was replaced by a THIRD dragon, this one being a blood dragon. I ran back to a giant camp and teamed up with some bros to kick its ass. They then chased after me and I used whirlwind sprint to cross over a river, living to see another day. Holy shit. I didn't even get to loot the second dragon!
