Way too many immortals in this game. Fucking half of Solitude is immortal! The blacksmith? Really?

It seems like anyone remotely associated with the Legion or Stormcloaks is flagged as immortal.

I beat him at around level 20, I think (it was definitely in the 20s).
I did this without going through Volskygge - I went up the mountain straight to Volsung. Then I went through the exist of Volskygge and killed the main "boss" right from the start. When I eventually decide to go through the entrance to it, I assume that the dungeon will now be considerably easier.
That helps you against physical damage, a dragon's breath is magical damage, get some gear to reduce fire/ice damage.
Eh, I'm gonna do a new character at some point that'll go the dark route, so I'm not too worried about that.
Yeah, the game never even presented it as an option. I just thought, hey, let's try this...and not only did it work, but it has it's own questline and everything. Woo!
That's about what I was at level 21 but then I started investing in heavy armor perks and still working with minor game-made enchanted items. At level 34, I don't have any smithed or special gear on higher than my orc heavy iron but the perk bonuses have granted me 234 armor rating thus far. I can probably get it to something crazy once I get the set and enchantment I really want. Long story short: go ranged when you're that weak and use an atranoch to agro so you can have enough chance to heal up. I found that after 200+ armor, nothing seems to be able to one-shot me anymore which gives me just enough time to heal up while my guys are agro-ing.
I've fought some pretty messed up bosses thus far but I've survived by never taking anything head-on. There's some grind wizards here on GAF doing some strange game-braking enchantments but going down that route may ruin your game. I can't remember if I came across that one yet.

Perhaps it's a trap?
And I still have two annoying quest glitches that I hope get resolved:
Sergius won't take my greater soul gems (he's requesting five of them, but the quest is not listed on my quest log) and Vekel isn't giving me a reward for the four journals he had me track down (he thanks me for completing it, tells me that he has my payment, but I receive nothing and I still have the four journals in my inventory. The quest is counted as completed though).
If those two issues got solved, I would forgive the disappearing inventory in the barrel in my apprentice quarters.
You probably got caught stealing and someone took a contract on you.
They probably just didn't get the memo.

Let's not go that far! It's somewhat annoying, but not near the level of the blood veins in ME2.

Siding with Stormcloaks. Is there anyway to get Whiterun's Jarl to side with Ulfric? Will the attack on Whiterun make me enemies of the Companions? (I'm already with them)
Can you at least turn it off? From watching videos, you get splattered even when rats peck at you. I might just pick this up on PC in a year when I upgrade, assuming you can mod it out, rather than dealing with that crap on consoles.

SERIOUSLY. I tried to kill two major assholes, but the game wouldn't let me, and I was so pissed. The rich prison-owner douche bag in Markarth, and the guy who tries to recruit you into the Thieve's Guild in
the Riften market
Haha, guess he didn't get the memo.

I don't think there is anyway to change the Jarl's choice. And it has no effect on the companions or any other quests.
Nah, never been caught. I've heard that you can not get caught and still have a contract put out on you, though. Would be neat if the notes said who they were from.
Probably this. :lol
Just did my first hit. I think my preferred method (unless otherwise specified) will be to
do those 2x backstab gloves as I approach the target. 30x backstab is so absurdly, wonderfully OP I won't be able to resist.
I'm riding to the first three on horseback, doing some exploring on the way, savoring the anticipation before the kill. Found the farmer growing Nirnroot on the way to the first one. 0_o
I'd pay good coin for a DB-focused game.

No, you lose it forever.
You could...keep the key and forget about doing the rest of the quests!
I haven't invested a single perk point into lockpicking and I've had no real problems cracking doors/locks open and I usually have 99+ lockpicks.
But are the Nightingale perks worth it or is the key good enough to avoid them?

There is another way off the road, with a spider.
Careful not to miss the sanctuary later on. I missed it, and ended up fighting a dragon with Maurice trying to survive. He died

I have to say the coolest thing in the game is the fact that the water has currents and can carry things downstream.
If its the quest I'm thinking of its back inside Markarth(sp?) back where you go to the Hall of the Dead and such. I forget the name of the place, but yeah, its inside there. Awesome dungeon.

So glad I conquered Solitude today. Really dislike Solitude since their guards love to harass me.

Yeah man, after finishing the Stormcloaks quest, for kicks I decided to shield charge people, which led to murdering all of Windhelm. Thing is, it didn't take for a lot of them. Seemingly random characters, too.
Ahh! Thank you.
Also, with regards to Storage: Is there a way or place in Breezehome where items are stored according to "Type" like they are when in my or Lydia's personal possession so that retrieving them becomes easier?

Nope, just put them in different places.
Just got my fire breath. Awesome. Those undead got toasted

This son of a bitch .Fuck me. Hardest Dragon Battle I had. Ancient Dragon with some frost breathe. Killed the whole town. Took me forever to kill it.
That is an epic screenshot.

Ah, thank you.
I must impress upon the fact that seeing a dragon appear randomly in vicinity evokes anxiety like no other.
Funny thing is that I reloaded a save file because I was getting attacked by a dragon with Frost attack out of the blue and Lydia was not present at that location. 10 minutes into the new load and a fire breathing one descends upon me. It was epic.
Also the skies of Skyrim... are just eye melting! Too good.
Skyrim: Sky never looked better
Wait, which mission gives the bow? I swear it better not be the one where you have to hide a the Gourmet's body, I hid it behind some huge barrels and couldn't get a complete thing to pop up. Where was I supposed to put him?!
Can you fill me in on how?

Did they fix the texture install glitch for the 360 yet? Just wondering if it's a-okay to install the game.
I have seen the same thing without installing the game. The only I notice it is during browsing through items in the inventory window for certain objects.

It happens on PS3 too guys. In the menu, sometimes textures are lowres. Probably an automatic downscale of textures based on how much memory is being used. Probably won't ever be "fixed" as it isn't a bug.
Deadly Bash is worth it. Not only do you get a stagger, but it typically does the same amount of damage as a normal attack would. Haven't gotten to Disarming yet, but I think its like 10%? Doesn't sound terribly useful.
