Really stupid question, but how do I switch quick to a melee weapon if I'm specializing in archery? Playing on the pc.
list it as a favourite, then in game you can press Q and when highlighting the weapon press a number key so you can hot-switch to it.
Wait, what? Your stealth gets fucked as you level up? T_T I'm building my entire character around stealth archery...I hope that's just a glitch.
The dungeons on this game have so much atmosphere and are just beautiful.
Came across my first fort occupied by some adept majors and needed to run away. Only level 12 archer. Haha. Feels good to come across stuff I cannot 1-hit, when at the same level in Oblivion i was practically a god.

Glitch or not I'm pretty fucked now because all the enemies I come across spot me really easy when I fire a bow and this didn't really start happening until I reached the 40s. I mean I'm in all dark brotherhood gear and I have every thief skill 90 and higher with most or all of the perks and I'm being spotted like I have a 0 stealth skill.
Do you have that hilariously overpowered perk at the end of the sneak tree? I can't believe that made it into the game.
Jesus, looks like I'm gonna start spamming my Illusion skill up to invisibility then. Maybe fortify sneak enchants are a necessity at higher level. Have you confirmed that this is a permanent thing and not just an odd glitch?
My game is also slowly becoming more unstable as I progress, like when it has to keep track of more and more things. First 6-8 hours of the game? Nothing. Last 4 hours? About 4 CTDs.

I crash less to desktop now that I've played more and more. Odd....

Take off all your armor and get naked, helps you to sneak better
Thanks! This worked like a charm. I got vamped again soon after but had cure disease with me so I stopped it before I could be completely turned.
Why can't I use Merchants/Stores properly with the mouse? For example, I'll try to click on 'Weapons' to bring up the other tab which shows me the weapons I can buy, but it doesn't work. Nothing happens. I can keep clicking and nothing will happen. Same for scrolling with the scroll wheel, sometimes it'll work, other times it won't do something. The only setting I've changed was turning off mouse acceleration on the Skyrim.ini file.
Yeah and it doesn't work all of the time for whatever reason, probably because they can already spot me really easy. The invisibility given by that perk only lasts about 1 second.

Is there a good way to battle groups of mages as a mage? I'm level 8 and unfortunately using lighting isn't helping too much. I've heard good things about enchanting weapons, but I don't know how to get the skills to enchant.
My only guess to help would be if there were any fortify sneaking items, haven't seen any yet or even know if any exist, if they dont then its pointless trying to sneak at high levels, you have until about level 35 to 40 after that there might as well be a neon sign above your head.
Your shouts will be useful, especially the knock-back when you start off with, conjuring a tank like summons is very useful as well if you can spare the mana, if the enemies you are facing have ice spike spells run away and keep running its like being hit by chaingun firing nukes.
I am really enjoying this game, playing as a mage has been very satisfying so far.
I am having a slight issue with motion sickness climbing some of the more mountainous areas such as around Azura's shrine and 7000's steps for example, and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on any setting changes I could make on the PC version to reduce the affects on me personally. I think it must be caused by the way the camera moves, but I don't know of any way to change the way the camera operates. I can play FPS and flight sims without any problems, and the only other game that gave me similar problems was the WOW expansion burning crusade.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Any one find these Dwemer spheres drop filled souls gems like candy? I've looted about 5 greater soul gems with greater souls.

Started a new character as just 2 Handed, and it's way overpowered starting out. Every other power attack is a cinematic kill. It's great.

So I don't know what I should do about Cicero.

On one hand, I take pride in being a ruthless killer. On the other hand, the Dread Father doesn't want me to kill Cicero.
41 hours and I've had numerous straight to desktop crashes with no warning or error. Not a biggie cos I save every few mins.
I spent the past few (real time) hours exploring and making my way to Karthwasten or whatever it's called. I paid the assholes to leave and I stole my money back as well as their leaders money while I was at it. I got rewarded for it too. Oh yea.
Definitely my number one game of all time.
Well, see when I play with the 360 control, the A button will open the sub tabs, with the mouse though it won't work at all.
I had 3 in Hag's End alone about 20 minutes ago, and about a total of 8 minutes apart. Well not necessarily a crash, it just exits to the desktop. That has been happening to me a lot more ever since I crossed the 40-50 hour mark on PC. There's no warning or anything, I'll just be walking somewhere and boom I'm on my desktop in a flash.
edit: Yeah what Enco said. I'm glad it's not just happening to me. FIX THIS SHIT BETHESDA!

Try spamming crouch/uncrouch.

edit: for those of you CTD'ing all the time, download a borderless windowed mod. ever since i did that, haven't crashed once, and i play for hours and hour sa ta time.

Hmm, never tried a summoning spell before. I have 150 magicka, is that enough for a tank summon? I've been only using destruction magic for my offense so far.

It's awesome for a character like mine who has no enchanting skill at all and just wants some damn gems to keep my weapons up to snuff.
Must raid more Dwemer ruins.
Question on the thieves guild.
In Oblivion the thieves guild had... not quite honor, but something. They weren't evil. They were fighting against corruption and uneven justice.
I found myself in Riften and it's a city filled with corruption. First thing I hear (not a spoiler, cause literally everyone talks about it) is how this one opulent and truly corrupt citizen has the thieves guild wrapped around her finger while she brutalizes the city.
I don't need details, but I would like to know if Skyrim's thieves guild is as corrupt and evil as it appears on the surface.

Seems accurate to me - the savegame has to keep track of dead dragon skeletons, dead bodies, moved objects, all sorts of random shit. :\

Yea, Thieves guild in Skyrim is bit disappointing compared to Oblivion. I am what appears to be on the final quest in the series and we continue to be under the complete influence of the Black-Briars.
Yeah, all the Dwemer automatons are like soul gem pinatas.
