So it seems I ran into the glitch for the Companions quest line,that prevents you from going on after doing Blood`s Honor...pretty bad bug if you ask me,I' ll probably have to use an older save now...how can something this big make it through the testing...hopefully tomorrow's patch will fix this.
I too am glitched on The Companions questline, but further along. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=33048041&postcount=9815
I effectively cant do anything in Whiterun anymore.
1. The main quest is actually very good, and not throwaway garbage like Oblivion's. Start working on it, and your interest will be reignited.
2. It seems like you've been sticking to Barrows/Crypts for dungeon crawls. Those are boring after few hours. Try heading to the Understone Keep in Markarth (it's located inside the city, and easy to find). Talk to the mage Calcelmo, and agree to help him kill
the named Spider inside the Dwemer Ruins
I managed to beat the main quest line last night, 60 hours in to the game and at level 51. Then I capped Alchemy which was the last trio I needed. This morning I ran out to pick up some Falmer helments (so I can wear them with circlets). Time to abuse crafting to make myself and my companion (J'zargo) living gods. Then I need to still do the Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, join the Imperial Legion,go on a house buying rampage and get married.
This game never eeeeeends.
I love it.

It's amazing what two Dremora Lords can do. They seriously fuck everyone up. I just sat and watched as they killed three giants!
There is a perk that lets you summon two, right?
Right now I conjure one, and my companion has a staff that conjures the other. If I had that perk, we'd have three Dremora Lords running around!
Edit: Ah, seems the perk Twin Souls only allows for two Atronachs, or reanimated corpses and not Dremora.
Probably for the best. One alone is badass enough. Two just obliterate everything.
Man, I want to get my Conjuration to the level where I can get Dremora Lords, but it never seems to go up any more and I don't want to be lame and spam Soul Trap on a corpse.
How many houses is there in the game? Only got one in Whiterun, Riften and Solitude. Not every cities have the option to buy house, even if they all allow you to become a Thane.
The only 2 cities left on my map that i havent discovered yet are to the west and south. Forgot their names. Do these 2 have houses?

Yeah, I play with the quest markers off so I have no clue. Hopefully I'll find it in my wanderings.
Edit: Actually on that note while most of the quests are great for marking stuff on your map or giving you directions, the Main Quest in particular seems built around the use of the quest marker. If you don't have them on, the game gives you no information on where you're supposed to go most of the time. If I hadn't already filled in most of the map I'd be stuck for hours I bet.

It isn't. I've got 830 or so armour rating with legendary Dragonplate made with a potion and some 20% improved smithing gloves I found.
I just started the College of Winterhold and was wondering about J'Zargo; he is cocky as shit but I want to roll with him. When can you do this?

Just as proof of concept, do you have any Heavy Armor perks? 108 is the Daedric set + 96 from your Smithing skill gives you 204 AR. 1/5 Juggernaut and around a 50 Heavy Armor Skill should get you to 305-ish.
Just curious since if it's wrong, I've got a lot of mechanic research to go back and look into
I do not have a single Heavy Armor perk. My Heavy Armor is at 61 atm, my AR is 337 (just checked). AR on different pieces:
Chest 127
Head 62
Gloves 55
Boots 55
I do not have any Fortify Heavy Armor enchant.
That's strange. I've just finished that area a few days ago and never had any issues. If it helps, I'm playing from disc (uninstalled) and have only 4 saves. I've heard that some people have crashes/freezing, if they have more than 5 or 6 save games.

LOL I remember this fight also, because it was just this past weekend. I saw the dragon wall but for some reason didn't notice the dragon, so when I approached the wall and he flew up in the air I was like HOLYYYYY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Then he landed right in front of it and I heard that telltale sound of
a coffin lid being thrown
mask/shout
He gives you a quest to
test some scrolls he made that basically set you on fire to kill undead. After you do that he offers to join you.

What's so special about this? What am I missing here?
The fuck just happened?
I start up 360, Skyrim and load my save. I saved in fully upgraded Breezehome.
The upgrades are gone, though doors are still in place. As are items... well, they would be if the cupboards etc. still existed...
Let's see if re-load fixes that. EDIT it did.

AO enabled. From a conversation on AO in the mod thread. Just for quality etc.

Attention whores seek attention. News at 11.
Hrm. Quite frankly, I'm confused. I'm calculating out some conflicting numbers. Are you sure you don't even have 1 point of Juggernaut? Daedric Chest is 49 Armor, 192 Smithing means 20 + (92/5) or +38 Armor, giving you 87 Armor on the chest. 61 Skill is a 1.244 multiplier and to get 87 Armor to 127, you need ~1.46 which means you're missing around a 1.2 multiplier ... which is 1/5 Juggernaut.
The same applies for every slot:
Armor: 49 + (20 + 92/5) = 87 * (1 + 61 * .004) * 1.2 = 129, the one wrinkle that makes me think I'm overlooking something else entirely
Helmet: 23 + (10 + 92/10) = 42 * (1 + 61 * .004) * 1.2 = 62
Gauntlets/Boots: 18 + (10 + 92/10) = 37 * (1 + 61 * .004) * 1.2 = 55
Which still actually leaves a missing ~38 Armor which I can't account for from basically any source so I'm just flat out overlooking something. I'll look into it when I get off work I suppose :/
Edit: Unless you have an unmodified Steel Shield or something :/
Thanks - I grow tired of Lydia and need a new companion.

oh, drinky crow. What did you do to get banned this time?
Sounds like the lag is the reason it got 7/10 and they played it post-patch. Can anyone verify that the lag is still bad?

So do Spriggarns(sp?) or whatever, those humanoid tree creatures, turn Draemora against you? I remember doing a quest to use some special knife on a tree to get its sap, so I do that with my Draemora Lord next to me, and as soon as those Spriggarns came out, my Draemora Lord one shotted me with his sword. I reloaded becuase I wasn't sure what happened, and they did it again. I had blast him into Oblivion before those Spriggarns came out in order to actually make it out alive.
I know this must have been asked but since search is down I can't find it. What should I do with the dragon parts when I am low level? I'm currently lvl 7 and killed the first story dragon but don't want to carry all the parts around. I can't afford a house yet so should I just sell them or can I drop them in a chest someplace?
You can sell them. When you get higher in levels, and advance a little through the main quest line, dragons become increasingly common.

Ah, alright then.
And yeah, you still need the perks to reach it (at least in any feasible manner, anyway). Was just aptly timed that you posted those stats right after I was doing some number crunching to show just that. Wanted a test case to use as a proof that I had the mechanics testings done right from earlier. I have a terrible habit of mathing at the drop of a hat.
And, yeah, no armor will hit the cap without any of the Armor perks at all. And then all of them should be able to hit it with the minimum amount of perks (1/5 Juggernaut, Well Fitted, Matching Set for Heavy Armor) and then varying amounts of Enchanting/Alchemy.

Okay, so I'm probably not as far as most people (I'm trying to pace myself) but I'm already thinking about my next character I want to make.
My D&D style Wood Elf Ranger (sneaking w/bows ranged & dual wielding melee) is really fun and I like her, but the weapon combos and such are sorta' messy and busy and I find myself fumbling between my weapons.
I'm thinking that my next character will be a Nord Cleric style dude who rolls around with heavy armor, a shield, restoration magic and a mace. My thinking is that I can utilize the favorites and shortcuts (playing on 360) better and get a different feel from the game.
I'm also thinking it would make more sense for him to role with a companion. Sneaking around with a friend in plate mail just feels dumb.
So, I ask you... Is there a church or similar group I can join? I'm finding the companions to be pretty mercenary really.
Also, do you guys use regular non-magic weapons for wolves and stuff? I'm finding the soul gems to be expensive and a chore. I don't want to carry around 4 swords.
After that I guess. I'll need to make an evil mage assasin type dude just to play dark brotherhood.
P.S. I want a Hammerfell game pretty bad. Deserts and Jungles. Cat Men and Redguards. Maybe some big crazy Djinn, a pyramid with super powerful mummy with a mummy curse and a flying carpet please... (fiction borrowing/mash-ups will be required of course)

I just did the Dark Brotherhood quests. Soooooooooooooo good. Soooooo gooooooooooood.

IF that version is as marred with issues pre pr post patch then it deserves a lower score. Inexcusable. I don't even care if the other version are ten times better, I would knock it down a half point for crapping on other platforms for crapping on one version of the game. And it's now like the other versions are not without their faults. I know the 360 has the texture issue and random quest breaks but the PC version is poorly optimized and lacking proper CPU, GPU, and RAM scaling.
Ahahahh, DrinkyCrow snares another

I got around to doing the main quest and got up to the part where the Dark Elf housecarl of Whiterun is doing her slaying a dragon is going to be totally badass speech which would have been pretty cool if she wasn't constantly getting talked over.
"I work for Belethor at the general goods store!"
"I'm not afraid of you, you know!"
"Come to talk to an old woman, do your good deed for the day?"
"Tried mercenary work? It might suit you."
Come on people. We're trying to get psyched up to fight a dragon have a little respect.

The potential for an ES game without the loot scaling and with better writing has me salivating. I hope they do it but they won't. ES is Bethesda's baby, I feel like they gave Obsidian a shot at Fallout out of pity since it used to be theirs.
That shit really annoys me. I wish they could get a handle on that. I also wish I din't miss important dialogue just because someone started talking and I wasn't looking them in the eye from a foot away.

After some point in game soul gems start dropping in dozens. Check Dwemer ruins, every Dwemer enemy has a high chance to drop empty or filled soul gem.
I used Azura's Star to recharge majority of my swords.

This is a terrible idea.
Don't know what that is, but I'll be on the lookout.
I don't have anything that charges soul gems yet. When I saw one to buy it was expensive and I want to try before I buy... Not sure if it's just going to make things even messier when I get one.
That might be part of the problem I suppose. Don't know WHEN I'll be able to afford a house. I was at 4,500 at some point and spent most of it on potions and "getting my gear back in order"
I guess this is all telling me I need to get better at enchanting shit

You need either to use Soultrap spell (Conjuration), then kill the enemy within 60 seconds, or buy one of the swords that traps enemy within X seconds. Since you are hitting them all the time it doesn't really matter what X stands for, can be as little as 1-2 seconds. Then your lowest ranked soul gem gets filled. Ranks are:
Petty
Lesser
Common
Grand
Black (holds souls from Humans, Grand level)
Remember that if you have e.g. only Grand gems, and kill a spider (Petty/Lesser soul) it will get trapped in Grand gem, thus wasting it.
Azura's Star is a special soul gem in that it doesn't get destroyed when you use the soul, just emptied. It was feautured in every Elder Scrolls game.
