Yeah, seriously. It would've been awesome to be able to see White Gold tower from the top of the Throat of the World. Alas, you can see the edges of the world but not the tower.

Achievement for doing 10 sidequests won't pop for me. I'm sure I've done at least that many.
You'd be surprised, I've played for 140 hours and only done around 20, a lot of them are filtered into misc
Check your general stats to see how many you've actually done.

There's a difference between misc. quests and sidequest. If you check your stats you can see how many sidequests you've done.

Question about the main quest:
I just got the Dragon Rend shout and Im about to fight Alduin. Im guessing this is the end?
Not quite. You still have a ways to go.

That's only the beginning. Before you know you will have put already 40 hours in the game and feel like you're just now starting to get a grip of the whole thing, and then you'll be even more addicted
Lol.
So seriously, I'm pissed. I don't know how to fix this Karliah not meeting me glitch. Really want to finish up the Thieves Guild quest line here.

It took me 3 times of loading my save right before you start the thing-- the third time I took my clothes off--- don't know if it helped or not.
Life is good again, I killed the two redguard/al'akir guys that will NOT LEAVE WHITERUN. they left, after I threw them(and the two guards who may have seen my misdeeds) into the river. It wasnt good enough, no I spread the legs of each of them, then proceeded to place the other guys face up his ass. I did a "conga line" of this.
All is well in Whiterun, might go after Eorlund next. Gods be praised... STOP SAYING IT!!

I know, right? Once the awesome PC mods start coming out I know I'm going to be super jealous...
Haha, really? I guess I can give it a shot, thanks.

Now that's a tag if I ever saw one.

Suddenly? This should be a constant until you become one.

I haven't even got her to let me buy one yet. I'm assuming one of my dozens if not hundreds of misc quests are a favor for her or her sidekick, but I'm not sure which one and the wiki is still missing that information. :/
Wow, are you me 12 hours ago? I got sick of those two as well, then later went and finally grabbed Eorlund.

That sounds ridiculous. How many hours have you put in? I'm 90 hours in and up to about a 1300 or so save count. I save constantly at just about every turn due to fear of CTD and save in about 3-4 different slots. :/
Sure, looks more cinematic and photo realistic but looks boring.
It's Whiterun
Need to see an action shot.

Question about an early Dark Brotherhood quest:
Woman tells me to kill a dude, and then she offers me another optional quest to kill a woman. I find the optional woman first. Follow her around town, wait until the middle of the night and break into her house. She's sleeping. As soon as I approach her bed, even when I'm sneaking, she wakes up and suddenly a guard is in the house and I'm screwed. I could not figure out how to kill her; no matter what I did, the guard appeared immediately when I killed her. And there's another woman upstairs in the house who comes down immediately as well. How was I supposed to kill that optional lady?
Be glad you didn't manage to kill her, if you do it breaks the quest in Windhelm to get the house.
!! Woah. Good to know.
Are you a werewolf? I had the exact same issue, until I realized that I could kill folks as a werewolf and leave my record basically unscathed when I was in human form. Find a spot to transform, attack as she walks around town, escape the city and win. If you're not a werewolf assassin, then I can't offer much help.
You would be surprised. When you get guild quests, civil war quests, daedric quests and stuff like that the game puts them in the mix with your main and actual side quests so they appear as side quests, but they really aren't.
It took me well over 50 hours to get that achievement. One of the things I accidentally spoiled myself when I looked at the strategy guide was how many actual side quests there are and you might be surprised at the number. I'll spoil it below
(number of side quests, don't look if you don't want to know obviously)
only 23

I've used a bunch and am still getting achievements. Seems some commands do and some don't. You can always get around it by entering whatever command you want then closing and reopening the game. Console commands won't perma break achievements.

Anyone know where I can get the most powerful bow at? Tired of this glass bow.

Well how did you do it?

I am, and that didn't occur to me. But there must be some other way to do it if you're not a werewolf, right? The questgiver gave me poison to use, but it looks like it can only be put on a weapon, and that doesn't seem like it would have helped me, since she kept waking up before I could get close enough to use a weapon, poison or not.
Yeah, the NPC you kill is meant to be killed by someone else, and your quest to get the house is to investigate the murder, but if you kill her none of this triggers and thus you can't get the house.
Should I spoiler tag that?
I haven't tried getting the Windhelm house yet. I killed the old woman first and then I killed her in the streets (I think).
Well that's stupid. Couldn't they have used another NPC? What about the radiant quest system? Ah well. I don't want to live in Windhelm anyway.
What if you did that quest first? I did and I didn't get anything about getting a house. After that I did the DB quest and followed through with the optional part. Unless we are talking about a different quest.
Are you told when a companion (or follower) is dead.
The very first time I bring Lydia out with me I come across another dragon, during the battle it became night time and when I killed it I noticed she was not around. Went on with my questing but now I see is she is not in Dragon Reach, she gone forever?
