Yay thieves guild fun
stealing the translation thing from the Dwemer museum was fun, I snuck through most of it but did have to run from a few guards, hope I didn't miss anything fun to pick up in there, I got the puzzle cube..........and I loved pickpocketing the key to the place and not having to go fight some spider......

I liked it, as I had set out from the start to find all the books and store them in my own private library! So to find points of interest appear on the map, and quests, after reading books was great.
Well The entire quest is a reference tokottila said:
The Hangover... The goat = the tiger, you don't remember an engagement, you've completely lost the person you were drinking with, etc.
is just Sanguine, one of the Daedric Princes, making life a little more like The Hangover for the fuck of it. None of the shit you experienced was legit, he was just messing with you- you can read about him to see that that's his style. But he's not all bad and gives you a pretty nice item for your trouble.

The area to the north and west of Winterhold is amazing. The completely snowy areas of this game are done incredibly well.
I like horkers :3 I aggroed a few and ran away, they just flopped about trying to get to me, when I came back they had been slaughtered by a snow bear.

Look for:3chopl0x said:
- the smith wanting to find a dog in Falkreath
- a prisoner locked up in Falkreath
- an abandoned house in Markarth
- an eccentric fellow roaming around near the Bard's College in Solitude
- a big-ass statue near Winter Hold
- a drinking buddy in a tavern, he can be pretty much anywhere from what I hear
- a guy pleading to the Jarl of Solitude that she sends a few soldiers to clear out a cave
And while you're doing that, you'll find some more good ones, I'm sure of it.
Okay smithing is really strange.... I just tested something out, trying to upgrade my Krosis mask, the one with 20% more bow damage etc etc (from one of the dragon priests) Alright I got to 100 smithing, I didn't put any perks into the tree yet, and I can only upgrade the mask to flawless, or at least it says that, but I need the magic armor and weapons perk from the middle of that tree to actually do it. Anyways I get that perk, but I can still only upgrade it to flawless. So I play around with my 6 other perks I have left and I come to find out I can upgrade the mask to "Legendary" If I put a perk into the daedric armor and weapons.... what the hell? how does that make any sense at all? This game can be really annoying if you're a min/max nut like I am.
I was thinking about going that way in the smithing tree anyway, just to get up to dragon armor. That way I can at least make the daedric weapons. My character is a stealth archer/daggers so it would work out that way but it seems like a lot of wasted perks to get to that point. I haven't decided what I want to do yet. I wonder what other kinds of "special" gear you can upgrade to legendary with that perk that you can't otherwise. Maybe its a bug, maybe it was intended... but it should at least be more clear in the text about it. Hell maybe I'm not enough into the lore and the dragon priest masks have something to do with daedra that I don't know about.

This was posted in the PC thread but everyone using a 360 pad on the PC can rejoice, there is a mod to use the 8 directions of the d-pad for favourite keys just like Oblivion.

Just tested it myself and it works really well. So stoked with this, now I can really take advantage of my mage skills
This completely changes the way the game is played. Remember to download EXPANDED 360 HOTKEYS NO B as the initial one is wrong.

Where does Maven Black Briar hang out, I need to ask her something
Wondered if anyone else has had this problem or could help me.
I'm on the part of the main quest when you meet Delphine and she tells you to speak to that dude Malborn in Solitude to get ready for some party. She said to give him stuff that you'll need once you're inside. I only gave him a few things, the quest moved onto the next stage saying to go back to Delphine but when I talk to her, it says something about how I need to give him more stuff. When I go back to the inn he isnt there
Anyone else had this or can suggest something?

In the Inn (Called 'The Bee...' something or other). Either on the second floor or in the market outside.BigJonsson said:

Shes usually upstairs in the bar @ Riften. but there was a point in that quest line where she would be right outside the bar near the market area or right by the door.
anyone read my post about smithing? has anyone tried to see if you can upgrade any other special gear to legendary? If the krosis mask worked I'm wondering about the dark brotherhood gear or the Nightingale set.
Wait yes there is, didn't even notice I unlocked it. Here's my achievement list:

Finished the College of Winterhold quest line. Damn, the last few dungeons were bruuuuutal. To those of you who finished all the College quests to the end, how in the world did you beat
? He kept frying me in one or two hits, until on one try I got lucky and he glitched or something and just flew around the room without attacking me. My usual strategy of summoning an Atronarch or Daedra and then blasting the boss with fireballs while he was distracted didn't work either,because he kept turning them on me.
Seems like a good place to stop for the night...I'm at level 24, my highest stats are Conjuration, Destruction, Enchanting, and One-Handed. I'm minoring in Alchemy, Light Armor, Restoration and Lockpicking, I suppose. I think I may Alteration there, too, because the armor spells may help me, but I feel like I'm starting too late on that and I don't want to spread myself too thin on perks.

Lydia tanked him for me while I healed her and provided occasional damage. Wasn't that bad but I imagine it being awful for a pure mage without a companion or sufficient illusion
I'm thinking of ordering this for the holidays after all the glowing reviews, but although i know it isn't, it still feels a little bit as a reskin for Oblivion (which is probably saying Killzone is a reskin of Halo). Could someone please clarify if these issues i had with Oblivion are fixed:
- Copy/Paste dungeon design. Nice that there were hundreds of dungeons in Oblivion, but they all the had the same feel and layout
- Loot. No use exploring a full dungeon if there isn't anything worthwhile at the end.
- Enemy Leveling. Common bandits with Daedric armor
- Leveling System. Choosing your favorite skills in character building was actually a disadvantage in levelling up and made you relatively weaker compared to your enemies.

You probably mean Riverwood. Falkreath is a slightly bigger town (and a Hold capital) not too far from there. I think the fastest way to reach it is to travel to Helgen and follow the road from there.Dries said:
- The dungeons, or at least the majority of them, feel unique. They're definitely not copy-paste like in Oblivion.Phoenix4 said:
- There's usually a chest or a boss character at the end of a dungeon with some worthwhile loot.
- Enemies still level with you (to an extent), but it's a lot less intrusive than in Oblivion. You also won't start running into bandits wearing anything better than Steel armor. You'll occasionally run into tougher enemies. This is possible from level 1, though.
- The leveling system's been revamped. There are no more "major skills" you can choose.
Phoenix4 said:
- dungeon design in Skyrim is SO GOOD. Now some of the more similar dungeon types look somewhat alike. They have at least similar themes. But still are so much more unique than Oblivion it isn't even funny.
- I think in my experience there almost always is a giant chest at the end of dungeons. But it's random if you get any worthwhile armor, or maybe some expensive gems or whatnot.
- I have yet to see ANY enemy called bandit with armor better than steel. It's hide, leather, steel, or iron or a combination fo the above. However, I think I have seen them with more rare weapons like elven or dwarven.
- leveling is perfectly fine here. You level up by using skills, and does not use the screwed up leveling system of Oblivion.
Basically... Skyrim obliterates nearly everything Oblivion did. Oblivion is pretty much obsolete, imo.

Yup, that was me. After Lydia died on me (R.I.P.) I've been traveling solo since having an atronach or a zombie assistant hanging around has worked well enough. Except for him, who basically countered everything I was good at. I still managed to get through it with dumb luck, though, so thank goodness for that.
Uuuum, at the end of The Forsworn Conspiracy
is my guy supposed to be lying there dead at the hands of Imperials? Sure doesn't seem like it, because the marker still floats where he should have been standing. I've reloaded a bunch of times and it's always the same thing. If I leave the place, the arrow stil says to go in there to tell hi what went down.
When I'm moving in a cave that has water, it's like I, for an instant, "blink underwater".
It's just like this: I'm walking and the screen goes bluish-green, coupled with the typical sound of being underwater. This lasts just a fraction of a second but it happen a lot, intermittently as I move (even turning around).
I'm the only one experiencing this ?
It's really fucking annoying.

Leveling Blacksmithing is insultingly easy. I just jumped from one vendor to another buying iron and leather strips. I intend to keep doing it until I've maxed blacksmithing. Then as soon as they sell the mats I'm making some of the top tier stuff (dragon or ebony, daedric looks far for now).
