Yeah, but for things like the dragon I couldn't fly or use any shouts, and the camera was stuck at the feet. He got everything to work properly somehow

How do I go see the Jarl in Markarth? There is always a guard telling me I can't go further, otherwise he arrests me.
I can confirm that you do get them back. You will be approached by someone and have everything returned to you.

I can not marry every NPC? Because I saw this woman on the streets on Markath and she didn't react, even though I'm wearing the amulet.
I forget, no cloud support in this game?
Conjuration > Companions
Especially for my stealth build, since I can creep around picking people off and then if ever I come across a sticky situation, I can still get a few cheap potshots in before conjuring up some fire atronachs or Dremora Lords, and going in with my ward and dagger that absorbs health.
Hah, I ran into that a few days ago as well. Mine, all mine.
There are lots of little details in the game that I love, but one of them was a skeleton my daughter found way up north, on a high snowy bluff.
It was the remains of an explorer in his bed roll, a flag planted next to him...and his detached skeleton hand still gripping the flag. I laughed, hard.
I decided to clear out some of the partly completed Misc. tasks I had on queue. I've done three now - and all three led to full-blown quests. Ack! This isn't working!
The first of the three was In My Time of Need. I've learned that I'm too trusting.
I believed her, and then believed him. In the end, it's all about the gold anyways, and I'm all for a little betrayal thrown into the mix. I do like these quests that zig and zag a bit.
Question about the main quest:
If I complete it, are dragons still in the world, or do they go away, like the Oblivion gates in that game? I like having them around.
Don't think so. At least I can't find it.
You'll be seeing that farm again
I haven't seen any dragons since I have completed the main quest, I chose not to make the kill, I believe they do stick around if you adhere to Esbern's request
If they knew this was an issue, why didnt they fix it for the new engine?

Self quoting if any one else has same problem.
starting new game then loading old save helped

Goddammit Bethesda. They should've just delayed the PS3 version and fixed this mess instead of wanting quick money.

Terrible, guess I need to rent this on 360 soon, my game isn't that bad yet but it will soon I'm sure, things are already getting pretty dicey in dungeons. I'll focus more on different schools of magic with my new character other than Destruction.

I've probably encountered more Dragons since finishing the main quest than before. But then, that might be because I have the strong scent of their blood all over me.

I know how you feel. I tried to use him as bait, to gather every one of them in one room and when he laid down, I attacked her and killed everyone. Including him. Damn, that was bad. Now I'll reload and it looks like I don't have a choice.

Is discerning the transmundane broken for anyone else? I gave septimus the blood samples but he just stands at the book and I can't read it or talk to him.

haha, i remember a similar scene around the shores near Solitude.
a shipwreck and a skeleton hugging a chest with about 20 golds, lol
Yeah, still way bugged for me. It's causing Vilkas from Whiterun to chase me around like he's a guard, only he just opens up his own dialog automatically. I didn't kill Madanach either specifically because the other dudes in the jail would wipe me out in a second, and I figured even using a shiv would get them alerted. I was able to avoid the guard's constantly bothering me (even though I have nearly 30k bounty on my head), but Forsworn Conspiracy is seemingly forever botched.
I tried but two other dudes come in and kill me, and the guy shoots magic and all.
edit: Ok I got him somehow. I guess using the shiv is more silent than a pickaxe
So how has Markarth been working out for you? No Shrine of Talos issues?
My map isn't anywhere near that level of explored, yet I have 130 hrs and have been doing everything I run into. i can't imagine what I've yet to see. I'm excited but like you said, seems overwhelming for a completionist.

Got my head chopped off twice in a row. Feels bad, man.
Why do people ask questions like this when they know the answer?
It's easy to sit behind a computer monitor and say things like "Well why didn't they just delay the game until the problem was fixed?". Probably because Zenimax isn't Activision or Valve, where they don't have a constant stream of money coming in and their developers can't afford to take all the time in the world to make sure a game is absolutely flawless before release.
I'm sure it has everything to do with the entirety of the development and marketing team being inhuman money-grubby assholes and nothing to do with the fact that they have stock-holders and investors that need the game to come out so Zenimax can make a a profit. Look, I'm not defending Bethesda releasing a broken product, but people need to put aside the knee-jerk rage for a second also bare in mind that Bethesda aren't evil, you're not being oppressed.
I will agree 100% that Bethesda's silence on the PS3 issues has been complete bullshit and they need to say something about it, but it's likely that the reason they haven't said a whole lot about it is because, as that article indicates, there's probably not much they can do about it. So I guess they can either come clean and piss people off, or they can say nothing and piss people off. Looks like they chose the latter.
Just a quick question about enchanting. I noticed that once you disenchant an item and get the buff, you can't disenchant similar items that have greater or lesser bonuses. Like I have a fortify stamina for +20 in my menu, but I cannot disenchant an item that has a greater bonus.
Is there a way to get a greater buff for the particular enchant (like getting my skill up or something) or am I stuck with what I have.

The enchant you learn is pretty much the "base" enchant, the actual power on any item you enchant is determined by the quality of the soul you use to enchant it.

I think my mage college quest is bugged, very early mage quest spoilers
The chick was showing me around when a dragon attacked so it got slaughtered, but now it seems to have messed up the quest and she just walks around without giving me the 'tour'. Any way to fix this?
That sucks. Thanks though.

It's still bullshit, because past history has shown that this problem didn't have to exist (Oblivion on PS3). Bethesda has been lazy towards PS3 ports ever since, and they need to be held accountable. Stock holders and investors are no excuse for knowingly releasing a broken product, especially a product that requires a lengthy time investment.

Just a quick question regarding the Companions...
Are there any negative consequences with becoming a Werewolf in the Underforge? Will I be super weak to silver weapons? Will people fear/not trade with me? I'm just thinking of when I impulsively became a vampire in Oblivion and regretted it lol
The only real penalty is if you
transform in front of people, and that's just a bounty
Well, Guards make the occasional comment about you but nothing that alters gameplay.
Well it's also based on your Enchantment skill level: the higher it is the higher the bonus you get.
The only downside is that you can't get the well rested bonus.

No rest bonuses when sleeping. beat

What does the rest bonus actually do though?

Cool, thanks guys. Couple extra follow on Qs...
1. Is there anyway to cure yourself after the fact? Only mention this because
the older dude mentions how he kinda doesn't want to be one anymore
2. What is it like when you use it?
Do I just get melee attacks but super buffed HP and stamina? Can I just destroy everyone like the dude did when I did my trial?
Cheers!
The bonus increases the speed of skill XP by 10% for the next 8 game hours

I found a skeleton in an inlet at the coast near the Morrowind border. Next to it,
five bars of gold
I know, but I just have a better item that I was hoping to replace the enchantment with. I also have an item with a 25% increase, but I already have the buff that only has %8.

I've decided my gear is already uber-powerful and I have enough gold so I'm only collecting things that are interesting to me so I can just get through all the quests I want to do so I can go back to Battlefield 3 and start on Batman and Zelda lol
You're doing it wrong.

I'm just messing with you. Enjoy the game however you want.
Baraka in the White House
2-Terms of Kombat
After starting a new character about six times and redoing the first set of quest in and around the Riverwood/Whiterun region so many times I should be sick of the game (I'm not), I finally tried something new. I made a high elf sorceror.
Extreme focus on magic: destruction, restoration, conjuration while dabbling in one-handed, heavy armor and smithing. Holy shit is magic fun in this game. I rarely ever go with magic in rpgs but it's just been so satisfying and fun to use and upgrade that I think I've finally settled on a character for the long haul.
