Try Whiterun stables at night. You may have to kill all but one of the occupants of the house before sneaking in to feed, though.
Dropping all your items should help you sneak better, but even then you may have to cheese it by just barely peeking around a corner and selecting Feed.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
Must be a bug, happened to me 2 times. Refused her and attacked both time and still lost the gold.

Is it possible to divorce? I don't like Benor anymore, he's ugly. I've found a new fancy man and want to marry him instead.
In one of the imperial camps I was in for the Civil War stuff, I heard a soldier that strangely sounded like Ewan McGregor talking to another soldier next to him. But when soldier 2 responded...it was the same voice! I know there's like a billion NPCs and only 70 voice actors, but you'd think they would space them out a bit.

Oh, the way it looks I thought you could go in a circle. So I guess not
I went heavy >_>;
Yeah, that's a little annoying. Still, Dragonscale armour looks incredible, and I imagine the difference between a Leg. Glass Bow and a Leg. Ebony Bow isn't that big.
Yeah, I found horses annoying until the DB questline. Now my horse is invincible, unless you ride it off a mountain.

Heavy is the ONLY path to take, because even by going Heavy you can still make the best Light Armor (Dragonscale) while having access to Daedric weapons.

I believe I got mine from a mine near Markarth.
Oh man, how did I not think this? Goddammit, thinking I might change my perks for the first time using the console. *facepalm*
Just go to your weapons tab in items, see your damage stat.
Don't you get bonuses for having the correct armor type equipped, though?
only when you have the perk for that, as far as I know

I believe you can go up either side of the constellation. There is nothing preventing anyone from doing that. So, if you want you can fill out the whole constellation. Just need the perk points to do it.
I have advanced armour and ebony armour at this point. The only one I am missing on the "light" side is glass (well and dragon too).

Any tips for beginning players? I just got to Whiterun and started the story quest there to get things going proper before starting to do some side stuff. Should buying a house be a priority right now, because my weight is pretty much over 200 constantly. What should I do with some of the loot I get like weapons or armor that I don't need any more? Should I just sell them? Is there any negatives to leveling quickly? I jumped to level five after only the first dungeon.

Well this is jolly fun! My game froze and I had to do a hard reset. When trying to load up again - all my save games are corrupt...
Any way to fix this?

Oof, that doesn't sound right. Surely the game only touches the current save file? Feel for you, hope you can sort it out.

This happened to me with Oblivion way back. It didn't crash, just turned it on one day and files were corrupt. I just took it up the ass and started over.

Aaaaaaarrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh, I'm the mighty Archmage, FFS, Undead tremble before me, and Sabretooth kills me in 3 hits? WTF is this shit?

Yeah in the menu, under shouts, I have 2 shouts I can't activate. It says I have 1 dragon soul (from the new dragon I just killed) but when I try to use it to activate a new shout, it tells me I need a dragon soul. I think it's bugged. I read a little bit about it elsewhere with other people having problems too.

Are things like this Bethesda usually try to fix or do they just let it ride?
That Ace Combat for $40 is looking better and better...

Anyone have the Prima guide? I'm just curious if I should get it or not. I don't think I'd use it as much as I thought I would, but I'm unsure.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Imperials is the most sensible path.
Killing him seems to be the way out of it.
On another note, the guards seem to come out with hilarious one-liners.
'Don't think you can barter with me like you do with those damned shopkeepers!' :lol

ok this game..
holy shit. Was up until 5 am playing last night. Got home from having a few drinks and wanted to play BF3 for a match or two. I do that and decide to shut down the computer. But the little Skyrim steam shortcut is right there under my cursor. Figure I'll play for 20 minutes do a side quest or two. But no, holy mother god, marathon 6 hour gaming session. I felt dirty afterwards. I haven't even done the first part of the main quest line.

Pinebranch was a cool dungeon.

I'd be in so much trouble. I can't get this game.
I hated the combat in Oblivion. The combat in this game is...a bit better. I'm rolling with a Conjurer battle mage. I have Lydia with me to tank and only summon the frost atro if things get a bit hairy. My combat role is basically a controller. Here's the question though: is there a parry system with the shield? I noticed that I can sometimes stagger an enemy with a just in time block. I take no damage and I'm able to deal more shots right after. Am I just imagining things?
I think that the shield/sword combo offers the best hack and slash experience in the game. Between the normal shield, shield push, shield parry (?), I'm actually enjoying hacking and slashing. I'm playing on Master difficulty.
edit: Holy shit. I wasn't wrong. haha. From the wiki:

Need help with the DB questline
So I did the first quest, "Innocence Lost". Didn't know what to do next so I checked a guide. The guide tells me that I should sleep for at least 8 hours. By doing so a woman named Astrid will come talk to me when I wake up. Problem is, I figured out that I've killed her during the earlier parts of the game. She tried to kill me in the wild. I killed her and she had an assassination note on her about killing me. Am I fucked?

Probably.
I know that if you kill her when you awake you get a quest called Destroying the Dark Brotherhood
Have you tried at least sleeping to see what happens?
Doing the imperial quest line after the main quest is much more fun when you have
A summonable fucking dragon that wrecks shit up during siege missions, just held winterfold and the dragon sat himself down under the main gate and just coated all the stormcloacks in lovely fire
Blegh. Something unfortunate has occurred. Lydia had been rolling around for a while wielding Wuuthrad to grand effect. I've just started the College line of quests and was in the first dungeon you get sent to. After clearing the place out I notice that Lydia's switched to axe + shield. "Ha ha ha Lydia, you are a silly bugger aren't you" thinks I as I force myself upon her inventory with a view to her carrying more of my shit. It's then that I notice Wuuthrad isn't on her. It's then that I remember the two or three separate Disarm-shouting draugr that this dungeon's just tossed at me (my first day at Mage's School no less). Lydia's dropped the bloody battleaxe. And I can't find it. Anywhere. I've scoured the dungeon from top to bottom.
So yeah. I've gone and lost Wuuthrad, sacred blade of Ysgramor, just a few days after it was entrusted to my care. I feel like a bit of a dick.
Moral: Be mindful around any enemies who shout at your NPCs. If they're using weapons you care about, be sure to keep tabs on them. Or, in other words, Lydia is not to use sharp objects unsupervised. Round-ended scissors only, etc.

I really think there needs to be some sort of PSA that all gamers should at least play the main quest up to a specific trigger point before wandering off.
I feel bad for people that have played for 20+ hours but haven't encountered any dragons and thus haven't gotten any souls, b/c they ignored the main quest.
It's like the opposite of IV's Oblivion Gates, ha.

Nope. You can only join one because of what happens during the quests.
And I don't think there are any consequences, just pick which one suits you. I personally enjoyed joining Stormcloaks more than Imperial, Imperials are just too fancy.
Some are saying this works:
- start a new game
- wait through chariot sequence
- once you can access the menu, do so and try to load one of the old saves

I tried this out and it worked. Thanks!
It's worth the 5k gold just for your first good chest stash.
Besides, soon enough, you'll be rolling around in gold.
