I'm getting my ass kicked trying to ascend
are we "supposed" to do this early in the game, or should I lvl first?
Been doing other stuff for a while... I'm lvl 21 but I feel like I need to move the main quest forward

Can anyone link to where you can report quest bugs? I'm having some issues with turning one quest in(the Children of the Sky quest) and one quest not disappearing from active quests list even though I've completed it. I tried looking on the Bethesda website as well as googling it with no luck.

I haven't tried setting a potion to it actually
edit: Also, if you're using a spell for one of the hotkeys, you press the hotkey once to activate it in your left hand, then press it again to additionally put the spell in your right hand. Pretty sweet system, which is why I'm so annoyed they didn't include down on the d pad as an additional one.

Yup. Your first few disenchants are pretty awesome for exp, but otherwise, start buying/stealing gems and get a Soul Trap enchanted weapon to start filling gems and enchanting junk gear.

I don't think it's meant to be that tough but I don't know. I talked to a guy before I did that and he said "oh don't worry there's just wolves up there".
Bitch please, there was anything BUT wolves. Bears, ice wraiths, trolls. I spent more time fighting those than I did on the actual trip.

So, I just somehow summoned two frost atronachs at once... not sure how I did it but I cast on the shore while I was swimming.
Will do, thanks. Been ignoring it so far, but heard a lot of people saying it's essential. Plus, as a Thief, I really don't need to worry about selling weapons for moneynicoga3000 said:
To clarify, using a soul gem to refill a weapon destroys the gem, right? Or does it just empty the soul from it?
I give her all sorts of stuff but she's always running ahead. She's been dieing fast recently so I constantly have to heal her so she or I'll have to reload my save as she has way too much of my stuff on her to take off her dead body. I even gave her a bow which is useful against dragons but in dungeons she never uses it.Sol.. said:
I really do wish there was some indicator on the level of the enemy. I was doing this little bandit killing quest, and I see this lone Bandit Marauder guy in a pit wearing nothing but light fur armor. I'm wearing plate and shield. Easy.
NOPE. He proceeded to kill me, over and over and over. It was only with Lydia's help I finally managed to kill him off. If I screwed up the timing on my blocks, he could almost one-shot kill me with a combo.
They should have sent THAT guy to kill dragons.

I'm not built for combat... I'm a sneaking character. This has seemed pretty OP for most of the game, but then I get on the steps and suddenly there are like clairvoyant freaking animals I can't sneak around (lvl 71 sneak!). The first damn bear basically OHK's me in direct combat... it's pretty sad.
I haven't done the greybeard quest yet and I have two shouts. If you do some more exploration and side quests, you'll eventually come across a few more dragon words in dungeons. After you learn them, just unlock them with the dragon souls that you currently have.Evolved1 said:

Unfortunately, the amount of money merchants carry seems to scale with your level. I remember when I first got to Whiterun, merchants only had like 700 gold, but now at level 31, they have over 3,000.
Goddamn, I hate scaling. Kills any sense of discovering something cool.

Sorry, yeah - using the gem will destroy it (be it for enchanting or recharging),
unless you have Azura's Star, which is infinite use.
As a thief/stealth type, enchanting is huge. +% damage with your main weapon of choice will make your life even easier.

That was awesome. Aldruin was busy talking shit to me about how I didn't even understand their language yet take the name of Dovah and all. At that point, fairly pissed, I just said, "I understand this, FUS RO DAH!"
Aldruin suddenly realized he left the oven on back at whatever cave he came from, as I jumped all over the stunned other dragon.
Now THAT's how you do a quest.

More than that, your wife/husband will continue their profession afterwards. So, if a merchant, they will keep selling things and you can make some profit. If a warrior/mage/mercenary, you can bring them on adventures with you, etc.

So is the guy you talk to after doing the Hangover quest actually
. I hope that is the case because it was a really cool way to finish it.
Sanguine in disguise again? He sounds kind of ominous after you steal that ale for him and he gets up and you talk to him again. If you're not sure who I'm talking about after you get transported out of Sanguine's realm you're back in the Inn and a drunk starts talking to you, he actually gives you a quest to steal Ale from the same Inn and after you finish it he sounds rather evil
Need some help here.. Went to upgrade a skill with a perk but on the skill tree menu my Descrtion has been lowered from 35 to 20 and the text is red. This is obviously a bad sign. I went to the temple to pray and nothing happaned. No one even says I'm sick. What has happened here?

Just getting into enchanting. If a high level enchanted item is disenchanted, does it give you better stats when you disenchant than that of a lower quality enchanted item? (I know better soul gems increase the stats).

So, I'm exploring the northern parts of the land, and I come across a lone lighthouse. I step inside...
Goddamn Falmer tunneled inside and killed everyone who lived there.

Did you have an item that boosted your skill which you subsequently removed/took off?
Blue Ninja said:
Ooooh, I think I know exactly where you are talking about. I think I went by it when trying to
save Thorald(sp?), the son of the woman in Whiterun
Also, just gotta say, I LOVE the Civil War quest lines.

I don't think so. It won't let you disenchant, say, a weapon that does 30 fire damage if you already disenchanted one at like 10 fire damage.AllIsOneIsNone said:

You can get potions from the alchemist and general goods shops in Whiterun.

Smithing is so easy to exploit. Just buy a ton of Iron Ingots and Leather Strips and you can get up to 100 skill with like 20k gold and craft Daedric items.
Sweet, thanks for the help. Will look into that spoiler!nicoga3000 said:
Last question for the night. What's with the trainers' levels? i.e. Some are 'Common', some are 'Expert'. Is it just the maximum level they can teach to? BTW, love that you can pickpocket the money back!

This game came out of nowhere for me. It's so beautiful, and the environments are so well done. After I did most of the quests in Whiterun, I decided to make my next stop the College of Winterhold since I'm going primarily mage (I started Imperial, but most of my skill increases have been in Conjuring, Destruction, and Enchanting - I think I'm level 50 Conjuring already) and god, the Winterhold environment just blows me away.
I was in the middle of the College of Winterhold questline and had
and decided to take the bottom exit instead of the top, and ended up at the bottom of the cliff underneath the College. And it felt so bleak, staring out into the frozen sea with the wind whipping snow around me: I really felt like I was at the end of the world. Then I just spent the next half hour exploring the bottom of the cliffside, found a gold ore vein to mine and some ruins, and my exploration culminated with finding
, which started a whole new questline for me.
This game is amazing. Unlike, say, Fallout, where exploration leads you to finding some unique stuff, but usually just like bottlecaps or food or whatever, Skyrim really makes you feel rewarded for exploration and going off the beaten path.

What you're doing when you DE gear is learning the general enchant. So if you DE a piece of gear with Lockpicking +20%, you are learning "Fortify Lockpicking". Your skill (and gem) in Enchanting is what determines the strength of that enchant.

You are just going to have to go around and look for them from merchants. Go to all the big cities and find the alchemist. Plus, you can also buy raw ingredients and make health potions. Early game the health potion is wheat and something else. They sell it at most places.tigerin said:
Also, learn the healing spell and raise it with use. It will save your hide when you run out of potions.

Might've been asked before but I love the Dragon Age and The Witcher series but hated Oblivion. Will I like Skyrim?

You can also mix your own with Alchemy. Basically, you want to mix 2 ingredients that have the same attribute together. So for example, Butterfly Wing and Blue Mountain Flower both have "Restore Health" attribute, so if you mixed them, you should get a Potion of Restore Health.
I found this page pretty useful to figure out the attributes of each ingredient:
http://www.flesheatingzipper.com/games/2011/11/skyrim-guide-alchemy-fez-style/
Alternatively, you can also discover the attribute of an item by eating it.
