If you get your damage from weapons smithing is easily worth it. Full smithing, +smithing potions, +smithing items = increasing the damage of most weapons by a 100% or more.
Thing is, once you've made your uber gear all those perk points just sit there unused. Then again, you could make that gear, then give yourself a respec with player.removeperk and player.addperk if you're on PC.

As far as I am aware yes they do stack. But I've not tried myself so I could be wrong.Rimfya said:
Is there a known bug with some quests in Windhelm ?
The Blood on the Ice series. I had it on a character I scrapped, now with my Nord, who has done all the stormcloacks quests, the murder quest never triggered, and i have visited Windhelm hundred of times...And because of that, I can't purchase a house in the town

Is it possible to change enchantments on weapons?

I'm quite happy with my enchanting/smithing combo. It gave me something to work toward and allows me to faceroll my way through groups of giants/mammoths on master difficulty.
it and enchanting are basically the two most overpowered perk trees imo, smithing more if youre going melee thoughAiTM said:
with how easy it is to cheese to 100 you can totally get full dragon/daedric/ebony armour and weapons at pretty low levels, and upgrade them to legendary level

I have the same problem, I expect the cause is this:
one of the Dark Brotherhood quests is killing The Butcher. Since I did that before he got around to killing the lady from the inn that starts The Blood on the Ice quest it never happens and I can't buy the house.
I'm going to resurrect him with console commands and see if the quest will trigger.

It's starting to get hard to find interesting quests now for my honorable nord warrior. I'd like a guild where I don't have to steal from and murder innocent people. Haven't completed the Companion guild either since they wanted me to go through with things my warrior wasn't really cool with .
.I did, but they just gave me warnings about not stealing stuff. I guess I look the part of a thief. I'm not sure if I talked to the head imperial, though. I'll give it a shot. It's just different than any other quest I've been on in that there isn't dialogue choices or anything indicating this is the next step in the quest.Maybrick said:

There's a guy on the second floor of one of the mage's college bedrooms who sells 2 daedra hearts every day or so. I used daedric armour for a while but I didn't really like the look of it, plus I found better stuff so it's mostly gone now.
Check out this video a friend of mine made. It's the intro to Conan the barbarian remade in Skyrim.

I got the same issue. I couldn't find a way to fix it. I tried many different things that I saw on gamefaqs & such about possible ways of triggering the quest. I also have a few quests in my journal that are impossible to complete unless they patch some sort of fix in. I hate having those quests thereMojojo said:Is there a known bug with some quests in Windhelm ?The Blood on the Ice series.

they make you be a right bastard for a lot of quests
yea the worst part is that you either be a bastard, or just leave the quest at that moment and it just sits there. There aren't a lot of optional ways to finish them. And I don't mean I want a morality system or anything. But an option other than murderizing everything in sight would be nice.Duki said:

I'm playing a thief and I managed to get it going.
I'm assuming you killed the 3 Imperials that were around the dudes dead body? I can't remember if there is something on the dead guys corpse you need to loot? Some sort of note maybe??
Embarrasingly I have a game guide (which in my defense was bought for me as a birthday present). I'll have a look through it and see if it gives more details about it...

Haha I know, I think I will finish off the main quest now and then go and do some of the more morally questionable things that I have avoided thus far. I did some of the thieves guild quests, imagining that I was infiltrating them lol.

You know it. That's one of the things this game could've done better.Luthos said:

I actually didn't bother them. I only looted a few things, but I can't remember a note or anything on him. It's cool, I'll figure it out. Appreciate the help. If you say it is supposed to go down that way, then it'll work out.

Does Conjuration level up everytime I summon a familiar or only when they fight? Also destruction... Does it level up if I only spam fire all the time and not hit anything?
will there be like any plot development regarding the dragon priests
like do i find out who they are and what theyre for
i fought some and i had no idea what their significance was, or that they were priests at all let alone dragon priests
the game acted like some crazy shit was going down while i was just slamming some poor old fucker in a mask with my shield
was kind of underwhelming

also just had an awesome backstab/stealth moment in some cave (forgot the name) which was a residence of a necromancer with ghost maidens.
so I tried to kill him in the open a few times but he and his maiden were handing my ass to me in like 10 seconds. So I grabbed two elven daggers and
That was badass.

sneaked through the room the back of the throne where he was sitting. Then I noticed a levitating gem nearby and decided to grab it to see what happens. I did it and his maiden attacked him! I took the opportunity and backstabed him with two daggers which killed him instantly and then dealt with the maiden.

Dunno about that, I completed alla the DB quests before I finished the Blood on ice quest...also I don't remember killing the butcher in any of the DB quests.
My blood on ice quest triggered when I walked past the cemetary area, that's where the first murder took place.
The only horse I've ever used is the one with blowing red eyes that I got from the dark brotherhood. I tend to avoid them though as I have enough stamina to sprint all the time and it's annoying to constantly get off the horse to kill bandits or whatever is currently attacking me.
Help me Gaffers!
I have a colleague here I want to convince just how awesome Skyrim is. Said what can be said and showed him the trailer. He didn't really dig the trailer as he pointed out, didn't show much and what it did show was pretty staged and didn't really scream 'RPG'.
So to reel him in, a video I can show the guy that shows off the beauty of the game, some RPG elements and some of the 'cool' things - Obviously just some user gameplay would be perfect but everything I find is some dude walking around a town for 30 minutes doing sod all and browsing through apples.

Completing the quest isn't a prerequisite for owning a house in Windhelm. I've actually bought the house first with two separate characters, you just can't buy any upgrades until you finish the quest. Buying the house first is actually an easy shortcut to finish the quest, you can bypass everything else by
finding the fliers, talking to viola and then the steward.

Wait, if you've done Blood on the Ice, how do you buy a house in Windhelm?

I didn't know you could randomly come across this. That's probably the same dragon I've seen a couple times who is completely uninterested in fighting me. Also LOL @ the kids.

They say it is the victim that you kill but I'm pretty sure it is the butcher because they mention butchering the butcher specifically.
GET THIS............ MOTHER FUCKING GET THIS!!!
I just went into the settings menu to tweak the autosave timer and oh shit, guess what difficulty Ive been playing at.... grinding may way to level 10... fucking MASTER!!!! (or whatever the hardest setting is).
I mean holy fucking crap its like suddenly the game has opened up for me now. Every cave/dungeon/whatever I would get raped by the bandit leader with the big double handed weapon. Instantly. In a second. I figured I just needed to grind it out in the world a bit then come back. But it was getting out of control.
What setting are you guys playing at? For the record Im not some noob but damn Im not looking for the battle of a lifetime every time I enter a cave or jump off my horse to fight a troll.
Recommendations? The medium setting the or second to hardest setting? Any suggestions? ... because I sure as shit aint staying on Master. lol Im supposed to be studying for 2 uni exams next week, plus I got Assassins Creed and Halo remake to play.
lol I cant believe I didnt even realise I was slogging it out on the hardest setting like some sort of martyr. I must have 'hard' as my default dashboard setting on the console or something.

I want a mod to remove blood splatter on the screen. My character isn't wearing a motorcycle helmet, so it makes NO sense and it's really annoying. I get it, I utterly slaughtered the guy, I don't need to revel in it for the next 30 seconds looking at some blurry drops on the edges of my screen.

This game...my god this game.
I just love the fact that I was on my way to do a Dark Brotherhood contract when I spotted a cave that looked interesting and thought I would sidetrack to check it out. A hour later I am still in said cave because I stumbled upon another dungeon that gives you a claw key. Just awesome to randomly stumble on something so amazing.
