-_- you can make Daedric gear from Daedra hearts? Well fuck me, I sold a stack of them because I thought they were only used in alchemy.
Yeah - you need both daedra hearts and ebony ingots
Wrapping up the remainder of the trophies on my PS3 run (still able to play thus far).
The only things I have left to do after beating the main story are complete the College of Winterhold quests, and completing all the Daedric quests.
I'm playing at a warrior type, and thinking of starting a new Mage character to complete the above, but two questions:
- Are the college quests better for a Mage (in terms of difficulty and gear received) or does it not matter?
- The quest Waking Nightmare, which I believe gives a daedric artifact, is bugged for me. Can I still get 15 artifacts without this item (I heard one or two of the quests give multiple items) or do I need to do this on a new character? I haven't done any of them yet since I assumed I was fucked, but if not, I may not need to make the new character.
Although I kinda want to play with magic...

One of the few shrines I have yet to stumble upon. Guess I'll have to wiki the others.
Where does one find treasure maps? I've come across more treasure tucked away on mountain sides than I have maps. Actually I've only found 1 map in over 50 hours.
^^
Typically found in chests within bandit camps or caves, forts, etc that you clear out. Also, the chest contents re-spawn after 30 days, I believe and the contents scale to your level.

Ack, my title! :lol
I ditched my Nightingale armor, and am now rocking an enchanted set of Glass along with a greenish blue hood. Looks nice.

This is what my character is. My sword and board wasn't entertaining enough. This character however is an absolute blast to play. I use some restoration as well. Sneaking through places, picking off groups of mobs with my bow, and backstabbing loners is insanely fun. Sneak and the perks are easy to level as well.
Cleared many... haven't been seeing them.

In the quest where you need a need a black soul gem to cure yourself, the gem is filled with a greater soul but when I try and give it to the dude, he says that it's empty. Am I doing something wrong or is this quest glitched?

Nothing will happen to your saves, but the resistances in the game are still broken.
And once you update, there's no going back, because your saves automatically update themselves to the latest version.
What do mean by resistances?
EDIT: Also, was the issue with data install fixed yet? I'd like to install the game.

Me neither, I've only come across 2. Got the treasure for the first one, the second one I can't seem to find even though I am in the correct place.

fire spells won't get reduced if you have fire resistance, etc

Has a long respawn time, though. And, at least for me, after the fourth run, they stopped respawning (but the items in the Shrine will still do so).

Just started. Does the writing and voice acting get better after the tutorial? Good god this is painful to listen to.

I installed it recently, and it runs fine. No texture issues anymore.

Just had my first freeze, 12 minutes in. Including the character creation.
Not a good start.

You need to do the Daedric Quest tied to the shrine. If you received an invitation to a museum opening in Dawnstar, that begins the quest.

Yeah, that's one of my favs. I found the auto lockpick one great too, it opens any lock up to and including expert locks.
I just ran into one of the bug-ridden and invincible Dragons. Flying backwards at supersonic speeds and fucking up my framerate, I hope this gets fixed soon.

100 hours in an i finally experienced my firt crashing into the ground dragon animation. Unfortunately is was at the top of a mountain near stairs and the disturbed ground texture made it so i could climb the stairs up to reach it until i jumped/wiggled myself out of the hit box for 20 seconds.
I think I may finally be getting tired of this game. I want to do the Theives guild quest but it's a little out of character for the Dragonborn/Harbringer/Arch-mage to go shaking down innocent shop vendors.
Are the thieves just a bunch of twats or something? And not like Robin-hood type thieves?

I'm saving the thieves guild/dark brotherhood quests for my future archer/stealth character for this reason myself.

We're getting a new official thread each 20k posts. Been like that for one year at least.
It's a back-end vb thing, threads become too unwieldy and impossible to archive or something like that at around 20k posts. I've seen other places do that as well.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
You might still notice some issues from time to time, but the truth is, there are just some ugly textures in the game. Bethesda has fixed the issue from their view, so it's not going to get any better (regardless of what people on the official forums think).

Yeah, I get that feeling myself. What I do is basically create a 'what-if' save where I make out-of-character choices like joining the DB, and then load my earlier one once I've finished it.

Awesome, I remember that. I actually didn't get the invite, I walked past the museum and saw the curator talking to someone. The curator asked me to follow him and I kept walking to the DB sanctuary and never came back. ha

Well after a few weeks of playing nothing but Skyrim (130 hour save) and enduring numerous crashes and slideshow frame-rates my old fatty PS3 got the YLOD. Just sayin'.

I wanted to join the companions and started the quest, but as a Mage, I kinda feel out of place. is it possible to complete it as a Mage?
All you do is kill stuff for that questline, don't worry about it.

After 91 hours and 48 levels, my wealthy Nord warrior (167k gold), leader of the Companions, Archmage of Winterhold College, and liberator of Skyrim from the weak Empire, is now ready to meet the Greybeards and tend to his fate.
I found that my final armor convo is the Ebony with the Daedric helmet. My wife and companion Aela can't take her lustful eyes off of her Dovahkiin...
I am also committing sacrilege to the OST gods of Skyrim, but after all these hours, I have compiled a playlist of epic songs to continue on my journey. From now on, every minute will feel like I'm in the cusp of saving the world while fighting 1000 ancient dragons. Of course, I'm including Skyrim songs in the mix, some are just too good to pass up.

So I was in my solitude home doing the rest thing for thirty days to see if that would help at all. Anyway, as I am doing this and pass about 20 days, I hear Jordis saying "Die, damn you!". I'm all "wtf?" and go to investigate. There are two fucking bandits in my home!! So, was this a bug, or will bandits actually invade your home if you stay there too long in an attempt to kill you?
It's mentioned during the loading screens that unless you lock up your goods in a strongbox, it might go missing. So I wouldn't be surprised if your home was burglarized while you were in it.

The more I fight these infernal dragons the more I wish there was a weapon like the Stormruler from Demon's souls
