The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |OT2| Team Edward's Revenge

WAT

I just had a random attack on a city by an ancient dragon, I thought elder was the highest rank? Maybe shit does scale higher than 50 because I'm currently lvl 58
From what I know, Ancient Dragons are level 50.

Also, level 58? Holy hell. I've been playing since November 8 and I'm only level 42. :p

lol. We just fucked up a frost dragon hardcore. A bunch of Imperial guards, Whiterun guards, Lydia and even my own horse was having a piece of that. It was hilarious.
 
Beth, for the love of god, when you release a patch, please add in two things:

- Have your containers in your houses be subdivided like your inventory. WEAPONS - APPAREL - POTIONS - ETC.
- Have those containers actually store shit alphabetically.

Agreed, finding anything is a disaster. I actually started sorting items myself in separate containers. One endtable for jewels, a wardrobe for clothing, a chest for armor, a barrel for ingredients, etc. But even that doesn't fix the alphabetizing.

I use separate containers for each.
Chest in bedroom - weapons and big items like dragon scales/bones
End table by bed - basic clothes
2nd end table - jewelery
Bookshelf - books!

I keep all my potions on me, but sell any I don't use, which is pretty much everything except health potions and dmg health poisons (and a few others, like 2h fortify).

Yeees. Library house addition while you're at it.

I don't get what the deal is with horses antagonizing the dragons! Twice now I've had horses I didn't even own come at the dragons and directly distract them while we were fighting.


Also, can somebody explain to me how it worked out that the Giants aren't the rulers of Skyrim? They're kind of the top dog of the food chain but they still don't rule all?

So i load up my latest save and suddenly my bow cant fire an arrow more than a few meters in front of me, even though my archery skill is 83.

Anyone know how to fix this?

edit: never mind, works again now. This is a bethesda game after all :p

After playing around with my Wood Elf thief, I decided to go back to playing my Nord warrior. After playing for a few moments, I check my save slots.... and noticed my Wood Elf saves were all wiped out because they were all on Auto save, and they were all written over by my Nord!

FFFFFFFUUUUUUU....

They don't give a shit about anything but their mammoths.

I have a full set of legendary Daedric armor and I still switched back to legendary Ebony with Spell Breaker and an Ancient Nord Helmet because I like the look better. :lol

Holy shit, this game is destroying my life... Everyday this week at work all I'm thinking about is what I'm gonna do next. I thought I'd cleared shit loads of dungeons and stuff, looked at my stats and I'm thoroughly disappointed at how pathetic they look. 23 dungeons cleared, is that all?

Anyway, highlight of yesterdays playthrough; I accidently became a cannibal. At first I was like, naawww, but then when it was on the plate, it didn't seem so bad...
 
I was supposed to escort some guy to his wife, it wasn't very far but I chose to fast travel. Now the guy is lost, I've been back and forth between the two places numerous times and I can't find him...any ideas on what to do? It'll kill me to have an incomplete quest.

How can I make money quickly? I need a house so that I can store my stuff!

Do a bunch of Misc. Quests that involve dungeon runs. If you search everything in the dungeon you can easily finish the quest with about 2000 gold, including selling all the loot you find.
 
The game put one nasty choice in front of me: (Main quest spoilers)

So,
Delphine and Esbern
want me to
kill Parthurnaax
. I'm torn.

I've often wondered the same thing - they're obviously not stupid if they're capable of making and using tools and maintaining a limited agriculture. My guess is, as you suggest, they either don't have the ambition for it and are content with their mammoths, or they lack the numbers or the intelligence to do anything. Perhaps Giant child birth is especially traumatic, leading to a very small, secretive population. Just a theory.

Hey folks, a couple of questions:

  • Say I'm trying to get the house in Markarth. I've done two bounties for the Jarl (one from him and one from his advisor), but the quest to
    retrive his father's shield, and get the right to buy property
    is not appearing. Is there any sort of work-around to this to get the quest to appear? I'm on PS3.
  • Regarding Persuasion and Intimidation - do they operate on a chance of success based on your speech skill, or do they have set skill thresholds that can never be overcome with an insufficient speech skill?

lol, this happened to my character yesterday. I had 2 arrows stuck in me. One in the left side, the other out of my left arm. Wouldn't go away for like an hour. I even tried saving/re-loading. Sleeping, fast-travel, changing armor. Nothing worked.

Eventually it just went away. Was getting worried it was going to stick forever.

All you guys with your cool dragon stories, I feel left out. I've played the game almost 11 hours now, done a lot of exploring and the only dragon I saw is in the intro. :(

I've found three different shouts, but I need some dragon souls to use them.

Just get shot by another arrow when this happens. Your persistent arrows will disappear.

I never got that option but it's probably since when given the option of who to talk to I decided to talk to Parthurnax instead of going to back to the temple with Delphine and Esburn. However if given the option I would have said 'fuck the blades!' since Parthurnax is a seriously awesome Dragon.

You have to reach a certain point in the main quest to "unlock" dragons.

You have to go into the main quest until the first dragon attack in it.

You have to advance to a certain point in the main story before they show up all the time. Just do some stuff for the jarl in Whiterun, it'll only be like 3 missions or so before you get your dragon wings.

Man I'm really early in the game doing a side mission were I have to kill a saber cat. I'm too low a level I think. It fucks me up something good in like 3 or 4 hits.

does anyone know how to get into cidhna mine?

i went around asking about it and guards got pissed. then they ambushed me
but i killed them all with my sneak skills. so the forewsworn conspiracy quest
has been completed, but i didnt end up in the mine.

i went into the mine on my own but no key opens the main door, the guards
don't have it either. also committing a crime and going to jail just puts me
in a cell with an unpickable lock.

can i still get in there or is the quest over

Good luck with that. I was never able to kill them early in the game. I'd always try my best to avoid them.

No clue.. I was just minding my own business when a
guard approached me and said he was going to frame me for some murders or something. I chose not to fight and was thrown in there
. Just happened when I was entering a building in town. That quest really hit me out of the blue and I'm still not sure what the hell happened at the end of it :lol

Step 1: Craft 'x' Iron Daggers

Step 2: Enchant 'x' Iron Daggers with Petty enchantments.

Step 3: Experience, and profit!

Iron dagger trick LOL. I didn't think to enchant them but did realize making a bunch of them was a cheap way to level up and improve smithing. That's a good one. Anyone know if diedric armor is really stronger than dragon bone?

Another thing you can do is get iron ore, transmute it to gold ore, make rings, enchant the rings, then sell the rings individually to boost alteration, smithing, enchantment, and speech

There's a specific quest you need.
 
Reinstalling worked for me on the Ps3, game is having no troubles with stuttering now with a 6.5MD save.

Got a lot of different stuff during the downtime, finally got past the mages going to the College of Winterhold with the BEAST Marcurio (who steals too many kills), finally learned blocking wards, made some progress with the Companions.

Did the first Thieves Guild missions, that was intense but I loved it, I don't understand how I was supposed to get past the guy staring directly at the stairwell I had to go down though.

Q: Does anyone know a buyer that has a lot of cash? I'm talking at least 3000, everyone I run into is too poor.

After you finish Thieves guild quests they go up to like 2k. You can invest in shops if you do the speech perk tree but I don't think it is worth it. My fences are at 4k now; I'm assuming it levels up with you or something

Finished that quest yesterday. If you're in a regular cell, something's definitely wrong.
