I FUCKING HATE BARBAS!!!
That stupid little shit keeps walking into me and nudging me along endlessly whenever I'm standing still. Makes being a stealthy archer nigh on impossible. I only tolerate him because he's the ideal aggro foil and he's invincible.

Any help on obtaining the Markarth house, guys?

So I've been playing a pure mage, all robes relying on the mage armor perks. Just finished the college questline and got my first mask. Why would they make masks armor? Now I can't use it or mage armor is pointless, and I dont really want to respec my character to light armor and enchanting at this point. What should I do?
As always, talk to the steward. All you have to do is some simple bandit killings.

If it's the quest that I think it is, then he should be 'with' you, even though you can't physically see him. Unless fast travelling has messed up the quest, he should appear once you reach his wife.

Just picked up the Night to Remember quest line. So funny.

Weird.. whenever I have two dead thralls going at once they seem to disappear. Everyone still comments on how "that spell looks dangerous" though so it's still active but my minions are nowhere to be found 
Just lost my master necromancer because of this. He was wrecking people with his ice spears too :/

Smithing ftw
I just bought my Daedra hearts. I didn't buy a house so I spend all my initial gold on smithing.
I'm a bit disappointed with alteration as a formerly unarmored mage. I'm sure going completely unarmored and depending on the perk that triples alteration shields is viable, even in Master, but it feels a hell of a lot less powerful than having a good set of light or heavy armor that you've enchanted yourself. I don't need the magicka regen from robes if I can chant all my armor so that destruction spells cost next to nothing. Plus if I go that route, I'll have permanent armor rating on me at all times without having to cast a shield, and the shield is just a bonus. This is before I've even gotten the perk to double enchant things. It'll be ridiculous by that point.
I'm not sure what they could even do to fix this. Sure, you can enchant your own robes, but to do that you have to get a robe that doesn't already have the -cost +regen on it, and that defeats the purpose of wearing them, other than just being able to.
In conclusion, screw robes and circlets. Go unarmored if it's your character's flavor, but it's not recommended. I'd be interested in counter experiences/arguments, but I'm not expecting to find any. There seems to be a consensus here on the power of crafting and enchanting - they're very powerful. And you can't craft anything that's considered unarmored except jewelry.

I know how you feel there. I'd suggest switching. You'll be far more effective. The alteration unarmored perk feels like an afterthought more than something that works. I'm wearing a heavy armor mask and light armor everywhere else. You don't need to put perks into armor for it to be decent, or at least I haven't.

Yup, Smithing here too. Daedric weapons are so awesome and look awesome too. I wish the special named drops looked as good.

Issue is, I already have the house. I'm asking for another person who has done the same quests as me, but for some reason the Jarl does not allow her to buy the house. I got the house after doing 2 bounties and the father's shield quest. She did the same, but the option to buy is not there. Is she going to have to ask again at level 20 and become a thane?

damn dragons are ganging up on me now ;-;
[/QUOTE]
This has actually happened to me for EVERY dragon encounter I have had so far, I have always had 2 at once, except for the intro dragon of course.
Is something wrong, or have I just been really lucky, I have LOADS of scales/plates and souls.

Lucky duck - I've never had this happen to me before. The only time I've been ganged up on was when I was fighting a dragon and

Last night, I went ahead and power leveled my Smithing to 100. I crafted full sets of both Dragonplate and Daedric armor, as well as Dragonscale Armor for my companion. Daedric armor is fucking cool. It's odd that it's stronger than Dragonplate, but I won't complain too much. Also, I now have an unenchanted Daedric Sword that deal 99 damage per swing. Nothing currently stands in my way.
(I'm turning the difficulty up when I start playing today.)

Enchanting stations are self-serve, only.
GAF, I need to beat-up
for the Companions quest line. I found her and talked to her, she gave me another quest but there doesn't seem to be a way to start a fight. If I just punch her I will get bounty and guards on me..
How can I "beat her up"? Do I need to finish the other quest first or is my speech skills too low or something?.

Besides losing the well-rested bonus from sleeping, there's literally no downside to being a lycanthrope.
Yep. Just go back whenever you're ready.

It may be that she hasn't done any of the quests where you help people out in the city.

Finally got around to doing the DB and TG questlines with a new character (Bosmer - thief/assassin). The TG quests were really well done and lots of fun. A bunch of smart mouth punks in that shitty barroom though. Did anyone else kill
? I'd already done the DB questline and as a master assassin I got tired of his silly threats and just put an arrow through his right eye. Right there in the Ragged Flagon in front of everyone. I ended up paying a 1000 gold fine, but it was worth it to get rid of that d-bag.

Could be - that's what I advised her to do. I got the house without having to do any other tasks, personally. I'm not sure why it's not working for her. Perhaps my game is the one that glitched, allowing me to get the house prematurely?
Any reason to fear leaving some items in a house? I am pretty bogged down with dragon scales and various ingots/ore and am fearful of tossing them into a location only to have them fully disappear on me.
Also, where can I buy a house in Whiterun? Seemingly checked everywhere and can't find one for sale? I was told by the Jarl that I am able to awhile ago. Is there an NPC to talk to about it?

The best constant upside is that you can never become diseased. No more having to carry around Cure Disease potions.

You need to speak with his steward. I bought the Whiterun house a while back and it's excellent for stashing items in.

It'd be nice if you could pay a member of the College to enchant things for you at a premium, for roleplaying reasons. Why should my Orc warrior have to learn enchanting, you know? Too fucking dainty.

No glitch - there's an indefinite amount of dragons in the world, but a finite number of souls (because there's only so many words to use them on). Sometimes when you kill random dragons repeatedly in the same area, thye do not offer souls.

If it's anything like Fallout:NV, then no. You'll always be a "kid", you'll always be considered "handsome" even if you look like an ass.
Ok, this would be my 22nd or so dragon killed. I do remember killing at least 2 or 3 in that same area. Hell, I've killed four at Winterhold college alone.
Good to know it's not a glitch.

Yup, it can be easy to lose track, sometimes. I guess it's just Beth's way of ensuring that you explore the entire map looking for souls instead of just preying on weak random spawns. I like to think that dragon souls are like a drug, and the more you absorb, the more resistence you gain to them. Need. More. Soooouuls!

I hate this quest (started in Markarth) I'm in right now.
Day of tought enemies
Fucking cannibals, I have to kill Verulo and eat him or go away. I don't want to do it! And if I don't, I have to kill the others and the quest fails, something my "ocd" doesn't let me do!

Volsung, Deathlord, my first Blood and Frost Dragons...
Bought the soul gems or? I'm in my 80's now but I'd like to be done with enchanting asap.
