What do you mean you can't easily switch from sword to bow? How about putting your sword and bow in your favorites and then hotkeying them to numbers? press 1 for sword, press 2 for bow, easy.

How do I actually trigger the start of the dark brotherhood?
I also have a question about the thieves guild,
I've heard about some boy trying to reach them in Windhelm, which I'm at, and people talk about a butcher murdering people, but I can't actually find anything to trigger a quest here. I can't find the boy, I've found his house but it's always empty.
I also have a question about the thieves guild,
I did the first main quest for it, going to that manor to burn the beehives and steal from the safe. I forget what he told me to do afterwards, and I don't seem to have a quest for it. I thought it was to talk to Maven or whatever her name is, but she doesn't say anything. Brynjolf doesn't seem to ever be down here either.

Ugh.
So I got the game Friday and loved it, but I currently work crappy 12.5 shifts Saturday-Monday. This last night has been hell too, everything has gone wrong. I've been reading this thread all weekend and dying to play some Skyrim.
Now by the time I get home, I will be dead tired and cranky. Plan to get some sleep..and then do nothing but play this game for 4 days. I will probably eat, use the bathroom, and optionally shower during this period.
Just a couple more hours and this nightmare of work will be over, then I can get some rest...

What kind of work do you do that requires such long shifts?
Went up the 7000 steps the first time, talked to the women on the way up and got killed by a pack of wolves catching me AFK'ing
Reloaded the save at the bottom, worked my way up again - as soon as I started talking to her a Dragon popped up and blasted her to bits. She had a 15%+ damage 1h ring on her to boot!
Love this game, full of surprises. Just walking about and being caught up in random set pieces, bandits randomly disguising themselves as Imperials and quests with a few twists and turns really makes this game quite engaging.

Does the PC version have crashing problems? I'm over 30 hours in (Xbox), and I've had no problems with dying and not having a good save to rely on. Every once in a while I'll zone in or out of something to trigger the autosave just to be careful, but generally it seems to save quite often.cackhyena said:

Yeah and there's a timer thing that you can set so that it saves when you go into a menu. If you set it at 5 minutes (the minium) it pretty much saves every time you open it. Add that to it saving every time you leave or enter an area, and every time you wait or sleep, it is pretty much saving all the time.

"Business Control Analyst", basically I babysit the company mainframe and servers, fix stuff when it (inevitably) breaks and wake up programmers when something they (inevitably) botched during the day blows up at 3am (and they messed up a LOT of stuff this weekend).
We are 24/7/365. No holidays. I normally would work M-F on 2nd shift but we had a guy quit and I am now working this crappy weekend shift until they find a replacement which probably won't be until after the holidays :-(
It beats retail which is what I did for 10 years before finally getting a degree in IT, I get paid a hell of a lot more and the hours are actually less wacky now.
Did I hear right that there is a female necromancer companion that can be picked up somewhere? Anyone know what this characters name is?

I dislike the Elven models in this game
Im a complete noob when it come to this style of game and I am very much enjoying it thus far but wanted to ask for a little help if I may.
Im currently a level 10 Nord (the advertising made me do it) and have been spending most of my perk points on one-handed, destruction and lock picking but after reading on here about how much fun every one is having with conjuration I thought give it a go, Ive only spent one perk point on it so far but cant work out what it supposed to do now, how do I cast a conjuration spell? Is my character capable of conjuration or have I wasted a perk point? What I missing folks
Many thanks in advance.

How many mana does it take to summon it?lastplayed said:
The one place where I had a real save issue, which taught me not to forget to keep saving, is when I was wandering randomly about the world and randomly stumbled into that Hag's Keep or whatever it was called. I was playing on Master difficulty, and refuse to change it. I got to the top of the keep, easily enough, but I guess I wasn't supposed to be there this early in the game (I haven't even gone to that place to learn about dragon voices yet, I've just been wandering around the world stumbling upon caves and doing everything inside). Because the boss fight at the top was insane for a hunter of my skillset. A small little area with two frost trolls that took 2/3 damage off with one hit and a Hagraven witch who could nearly kill me with one hit, and took the opportunity to do so immediately upon entering her little cliff area with a fireball. When I tried to leave, the way back was shut off to me. And the last save was ages ago, so it really pissed me off. After that I save frequently.

You have to buy spellbooks from various wizards or find them in the wild (but they are pretty rare form my experience). A basic spell costs around 100 gold, if I remember correctly. Then it's just one click on the book in your inventory and equipping the spell.

By the way is there a Feather spell? Havent found one yet!
Not sure if this isn't a silly question or not, so mock me if it is.....
I just got Oblivion, and I'm still around 10 hours in. Now that Skyrim's out, I'm itching to get this game and drop Oblivion. Is Skyrim a huge step forward from Oblivion? I don't want to drop $60 and find out it's the old game in a new skin.

Made a Mage.
Is there a way I can get a partner to help me out in the ruins? Shit is hard when you're a mage, bro.

Question about spells. College of Winterhold questline ending spoilers included:
at level 10 my mage is now the archmage of the college but I have a terrible selection of spells (killing Morokai who could 2-shot me with my just basic firebolt nearly killed my sanity...) Who sells the higher level spells or are they just hidden somewhere in the world?
