They're called the Companions in this game. They're in Whiterun.
They're called the Companions, a mercenary warriors' guild. If you haven't run into any of their members yet, you'll find them in the hall Jorrvaskr within Whiterun.
This exact thing happened to me, try this.
After Nocturnal bugs out, wait for 1 hour. This should mark at least one of the quest items as complete. If Karliah doesn't start talking, wait an hour again. She should start talking after this, if she doesn't do it one more time.
After the quest marks off, try to leave through one of the purple walls. If you can't, reload and try again.
This worked for me after about 3 tries.

Rather, they allow Whiterun to be in their place of business.
(Or at least in my game. We're kind of like the Mob now.
The Werewolf mob
something strange just happened. i quicksaved before sneak attacking a guard, just to see if i could kill him before being seen. i failed, miserably, so i tried to quickload. no go. i go to load from the menu, no go. i quit to main menu, only have option to start a new game. yet all my saves are located at Docs\My Games\Skyrim\Saves. is that the wrong directory? they all just corrupt? thats like 80+ hours gone if so, not a big deal what with master and i can just insta-level my guy if needbe, but still thats 2 weeks of fulltime work lol.
That definitely sounds bad. Try just taking the quicksave file out of the directory and re-launching the game.
Whatever helps you sleep better at night, champ.

Has anyone here done a misc quest in Ivarstead called "locate Graydas remains" or something like that?
I went through the entire dungeon and fought
at the end, got some loot, but I didn't find any remains. Does anyone know where to look for them? I feel really bad for that crazy dude asking about her as well, so I want to help.

I about 16hrs in or so, haven't killed a dragon yet.Is it possible to kill a dragon with just the two handed battleaxe that I've put most of my skills into? ( I don't use magic)
Sure. You're just going to have to either pull out a bow or do some fancy dodging until the dragon decides to come down and try to engage you on the ground. If you can use the environment - some rocks or a simple ledge - you can easily mess with their ability to hurt you from the air until that happens.
If I recall correctly they're in the water surrounding the "island".

how do you get a damn dragon to face you one on one? I've encountered 4 of these bitches just flying around me and only managed to get one to come down to get it's ass whooped. The rest just circle around in the sky a few times and fly away.
You can enable the quest marker for misc. quests too, you just need to have the 'miscellaneous' as well as the specific quest in the misc. log selected.

Oh, I just assumed they were inside so I never looked there. Thanks alot!
I found an amulet in some fort that has +30% one handed attacks. I am now ballin'.
I also ran into some Thalmors wandering around, the first time I saw them. I talked to the main guy and he told me to F off, and then I talked to one of the warriors and she asked me if I believed in Talos. I was just silent but she decided to pick a fight with me. THEN SHE WAS DECAPITATED.
Hit F12 too early, but you get the point. I also took all her armor.
Also this happened.

Soooo for the Thieves Guild Quest line
Karliah isn't showing up at the standing stone and I don't know what to do. I've already waited a several times to see if it's different times of the day or something. Anyone else have this issue? the arrow is right on the rock, but she isn't there.
fixed it by deleting the Saves folder, the two .ini files, and the RendererInfo.txt file after backing up my saves. then restarted the game so it would remake the files/folder, and moved my saves into the folder. after i restarted the game again, they were all there. time to make cassius clay.
edit: one cause could have been the TES V Savegame Manager i downloaded from skyrimnexus. didn't end up using it, so i deleted it. might have messed with the game a bit.
I did it earlier tonight, great stuff. I put the sword back. I had enough loot to carry as it was.
Try fast traveling away, and then back again.
Thanks a lot!

Finally fucking done with my mountain of homework. Been away from Skyrim for too long. Dying to play some more.
Edit - Question : Is there a trick to doing special assassination animations with daggers? The one time it happened for me it was a one hit kill... Was that just luck, or is it a move you can consistently use?

This sucks, man. I haven't been playing a whole lot because of this storm here in the NW, which was regularly causing power interruptions and I didn't want to keep losing progress since they were causing PC reboots. But this fucking storm hasn't ended for two days! What is this shit, seriously. Fuck off, wind. I want to play video games without being disturbed.
nah i'm pretty sure its just luck. i get ohko with daggers all the time, backstab, 30x, etc, but only sometimes i get the animation.
also, i just killed a bear with my bare hands. but its a shame i can't poison my claws - that would be fantastic if they put that in the game. another thing, i can tell i will need restoration magic on my unarmed, Master difficulty playthrough.
you're just here to answer our questions then

Shout at the sky, surely the storm will clear up.
They should've done a Skyrim ad campaign that riffed off of Apple's "There's an app for that" and instead had "There's a shout for that".
Still not there. Ugh.

Maybe it's time for a new hero-god. Maybe it's time for a new Empire.
If you take the end of the
Dark Brotherhood
Wulf reunited Skyrim under the Imperial banner. Now it's time for the Thalmor to taste his boot.
Lmao @ this. Thalmors are assholes.
Does decapitation consist of just getting the perk in the 1H tree? I got the perk a while ago, but this never seems to happen for me.

Supped my character up. Made a custom set of Glass Armor that's tailored towards a thief character, one-handed weaponry and some reduction in Destruction spells. I also made two pieces of jewelry with +48% One-Handed Ability and Light Armor. All of this together gives me a base Damage with Dragonsbane of 281 and a armor rating of 850 or so. With a augment One-Hand ability potion I can deal damage around 650 per hit with Dragonsbane.

You need to do a standing power attack, so a power attacking while standing still. Then there's a 25% chance your weapon will decapitate the enemy.
Not sure if it happens with maces, though, but definitely with swords.
It's actually 20%, and does work even though there's a bug where it displays 0%.
There's also the Amulet of Talos which can add another 20% cooldown reduction.
Oh, interesting. Then I bet I'm not seeing it because I'm always doing the attack where you hold down both triggers.
And I luckily have two swords at the moment (one of them the truly awesome Dawnbreaker).

I don't think you can disenchant Amulets of the Divines, sadly.
I don't believe you can disenchant them.
I hear that NPC can glitch, this related? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111116153215AAbNhjM
I had one, but I think I sold it early on in the game. Shame on me.. Shame...

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm still annoyed that there isn't a Jyggalag quest, despite the fact that Sheogorath's quest makes it pretty plain that all of the SI quest actually happened.
