But what does it mean exactly? That i should wait until im like lvl 50 before doing their quests? Kinda sucks since i made sneaky character... Guess i could still go with the Dark Brotherhood first.

Honestly, it doesn't really matter. I did the Thieves Guild first and foremost with my sneaky thief character, and I suffered no ill effects whatsoever. It's only for those who really obsess over numbers that this kind of stuff really matters. By the time I finished the questline I was relatively high up in level, and the later quest rewards were very decent.

Finished up the Main Quest last night. It was a fun and satisfying ending. Immediately followed that up with killing another dragon and finding a shout wall. Was glad to see that you can continue to collect dragon souls and shouts after the MQ is done.
Now I'm going to explore around a bit and start working on a few of the side quests that are still left undone. I haven't done the Dark Brotherhood yet, nor the Civl War story line. Plus plenty of other large quests to do, and some sections of the map that are largely unexplored. I even know of a massive fortress that I spotted in the distance while on a different quest in the Northwest section of the map that I want to go explore as well.
I love that when you "finish" an Elder Scrolls game, there is still so much fun stuff left to do.

Can somebody point me to a good guide for enchanting my gear? I'm trying to focus on Destruction (fire) and understand that I should try to cut the cost of my spells. I'm a bit lost when it comes to what I need to do to enchant items.
Doing what I suggested will actually clear the quest, it will not remain unfinished. It's an alternate solution. There's even an alternate reward
if you keep the victim safe.
This is also worth keeping in mind. I didn't want to complete it either, as even for my semi-evil character it was too far. But I wanted to see what the reward was, dammit. What's a little human flesh when there's loot involved?
Sell every stack of items one at a time (and not the entire pile at once) especially it it is an expensive item it will help raise your speech skill more quickly.
Buy Speech training (Bard's College in Solitude)
Only legit ways to up speech I know.
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Enchanting
Basically, you need to find an item (or buy one) with the magical effect you are looking for, disenchant it at the Arcane Enchanting table to learn it, and then use a filled soul gem to enchant the item you want the effect on (also at the table).
There's no cloth armor, per se, just clothes - robes, etc. Try Radiant Raiment in Solitude, just inside the entrance.

"GhaleonEB is online and wants friends to play Skyrim."
Bethesda should give you money for advertising, Ghal. Hopefully you convince some of the heathens who haven't bought it yet. :lol
Heh. A lot of my friends have that beacon set up, and it amused me enough that I did likewise. I also want my friends to play Skyrim! :lol

I finally got back into the groove of playing Skyrim after the Christmas break (I actually played very little of Skryim over the break since I got way into Saint's Row and some stuff I got during the Steam sale). I've been reconsidering my character skills after looking over the perk trees and I think I'm going to jump into Enchanting on my Archer/Illusionist. I got the bug the other day when I enchanted a ring to Fortify Archery and saw the damage increase... I'm gonna push that shit to the limit! (Well, probably not technically, I don't want to break the experience by exploiting out a 500 damage bow but I wouldn't mind adding a few dozen points of extra damage). I'm level 33 and I really only need 5 or 6 more points in enchanting to get what I need from it.
There's basically three "armor" types in the game: Light, Heavy, and No Armor. No Armor means wearing regular clothes and/or a robe which is probably what you want to do. It's really easy to find clothes in people's drawers - I have a few different sets of fancy clothes in my Wardrobes.

Gloves are annoyingly hard to come by though... the only reliable source I've found of them is Thalmor.

I've probably put in 150+ hours into this game. A level 30 sword and board and a level 65 magic pants. In that time I've barely explored Riften aside from what is mandatory and to grab Mjorll.
If I want to in theory "clean the place up", is this possible? Pretty much do the opposite of join the thieves guild and dispose of that Black Brier woman.

That's odd, because I've seen gloves regularly just wandering around dungeons. I have no need for them, so I just let 'em be, but they are definitely around.

It's the magic of when you're looking for something/not looking for something it will never appear or appear all the time.
On my warewolf character I couldn't walk more than 10 feet without Cure Disease potions falling from the sky and hitting me on the head. On my next character that I've spent twice as much time with I've found maybe 5.

Wow, the Civil War was... anticlimactic. And I didn't like how most of the missions couldn't proceed at your own pace.
Although I will admit that there's a great joy in doing it after you beat the main quest, if only for the ability to

Just been chasing the headless horseman ghost for ages, is it just an easter egg of is there more to it?
Blue Ninja

It leads you to a certain tomb, which isn't all that special. Then again, I haven't even seen that guy yet, and I'm on my fourth character. :lol
Wulf's looking like a badass in his Legion armor. Stormcloaks gonna get some chop. Now all I need is that Legion Horseman helmet.

He guards a graveyard, but during the night he'll randomly spawn in the wilderness and then ride toward it (leading the player there if you follow him) there's no quest or anything associated with him as far as I know. I followed him there once... still see him around sometimes though.

Start a new character. You won't regret it.
Thanks, got what I needed.

In the 110 hours that I've played the game, I've only seen the headless horseman once. I followed him for a bit, but was on another mission at the time. Next time I find him, I guess I should stay on his tail.

When does enchanting get "good?" My character is level 39, enchanting 47, alchemy 55, and all of my options are the pissy base numbers. The best Fortify Enchanting potion I can make is 9%. Why does it still suck?
Blue Ninja
Member
Because your skill in Alchemy and Enchanting is still pretty low, so keep training that. You can also try and find some armor that increases inchanting.
If the rumors about that Zenimax-developed TES MMO are true, I can actually see this being the plot of that... Would be a sad day, but alas.

A good friend of mine @AcidCrashX has designed this shirt with a mixture of Ace Attorney and Skyrim. Just wondered what you guys think of it. Thought it was quite original mash up

I don't understand why there is no depth in the letters R, D & A. And it's a bit bland, but the idea is cool.
Anyway, I just did the quest where
I defended Whiterun against the Stormcloaks

Did you accidentally attack one of them? :lol
maybe I did attack/kill an imperial soldier in the mess yeah, but certainly not the Jarl.
I guess I'll have to reload a previous save :[

Your not missing anything. They're terrible.
Hang onto the flawless ones, sell the rest.
I like riding the horses a great deal, they're so much better than Oblivion. The turn controls on the left stick are indeed awful, so I control them as I do the Halo Warthog: push up on the left stick to move, and steer exclusively with the right. I've spent hours just exploring that way.
Though, my current character is going around mostly on foot since it's easy to miss ore and ingredients when galloping around. I just wish the 'horse physics' were better, and we could fight from horseback.
I'd be nice if they patched in some new features with one of the updates / DLC packs. Being able to swing a weapon, or fire a bow from a horse.. or even quickly dismount would be great.
They do speed up travel a little bit, but yeah, horses should be way more useful than they are.
Well I finished the Azura's Shrine quest and what a disappointment.
. Such an anticlimactic ending. Oh well, at least I got a nice artifact out of it.
My soul is transferred into Azura's Star and immediately I'm confronted by the evil mage soul, who I kill easily, and boom, it's over.

Use them to make jewellery and sell them, if you need the gold.

I think I killed that dude so quickly that when
I respawned back into the real world
Oh, and I may be the only one, but I hope that a future DLC will give us a house with a huge ass library (or at least like twenty book cases). I know some modder's probably already done it, but after my experience with F3/NV I don't like modded houses, they usually feel really fake and overdone.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
