He probably means you're free to own a house.Ulfric said i could have a free house in windhelm, all i have to do is talk to his seward.
But his seward keeps wanting me to pay?
Any help?

I did the whole questline and nothing seemed particularly evil to me. They even say that killing people is a last resort, you'd be better off going to jail and paying the fine if you get caught.
The thieves guild in this game is in dire straits, they're falling apart and need to build up a name for themselves
The way your avatar looks up at your posts with such bewildered delight is so uplifting.
thieves guild is much better, imo.
dark brotherhood:
it always felt like it was moving towards something bigger, but it... doesn't. you get to your new sanctuary with the survivors, and then nothing really happens.

I keep hearing about
a reusable black soul gem for enchanting. It has something to do with a shrine, I remember? What quest chain lets me get it?

plus the new sanctuary is shit, I prefer the old one. I have to admit I didn't expect Astrids nearly-dead body when I walked round the corner, found it sad in a way but that bitch tried to kill me.
i did enjoy it (that part especially) and i think
killing the emperor was pretty damn cool. but it still wasn't quite as good as oblivions, and it felt a bit.. incomplete.
I think the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion was better. It seems to industrialised and not really secret anymore.

General Tullius, I think
The problem I have with the thieves guild is
it continues after the main quest is finished to restore the TG to its former glory and it is a real grind to finish.

I'm loving this game way too much now. Magic is so much better than it was in Oblivion. I am loving my conjuration/destruction/alteration mage. I will summon an atronach in a room, then place a rune on the ground in front of me as a safety mine in case the enemy comes after me, and then I have my mage companion who does a ton of damage. Shooting magic just feels right and dual casting is fucking bad ass.
I just installed the mod that let's you kill kids but I haven't tried it yet. I don't want to tinker with the gameplay mods at all yet, but I do want to be able to silence the snotty little shits that I come across lol

Find the Shrine of Azura near Winterhold. Give Azura's Star to the elf in Winterhold to get the Black Star
Yup it was a huge disappointment. Honestly a lot of the guilds and quests feel like disappointments compared to Oblivion. I would probably say the Thieves guild is better as a whole but
it doesn't have a massive heist like stealing the elder scroll
I think I'm going to start a new character as a warrior or mage. Since my thief/assassin is apparently broken I may as well roll a character that is competent in non-stealth combat.

I think I screwed over one of the few fences I have in the game. Joined the thieves guild and sold the armor right away, now I have a quest to exchange pieces of my armor for other pieces from the fence, but I sold them all and she isn't letting me buy anything back until I exchange them. Am I screwed or is there some way to get another piece of thieves guild armor?
yeah, definitely a grind, but it was still nice to have incentive to do the radiant quests.

I just finished the main quest storyline. All I have to say is: are you serious?
Sorry for the huge spoiler wall of text, but it's the only way I can vent my anger without spoiling everyone else's fun.
There's no cutscene or anything to make me feel like I just saved the world! The dragon explodes and I get sent back and....I'm at the throat of the world and no one shows up or anything. Sure, paarthanux shows up but I doubt I will see him again. Where's esbern? Why isn't there any cutscene showing the world is better? Can I still kill dragons? Why did they take such an awesome final quest and ruin it? The whole sovengarde thing was awesome, and then you win and you expect everyone to cheer for you but no one shows up. You're just watching a bunch of dragons fly away. Whoever thought of the main quest storyline deserves to be fired imo. It's so good and then.......nothing.
By any chance are you walking? When I was playing just crouching wasn't enough. I had to press the walk button (caps lock for PC) and I could finally get past people.
Just going there to sell stuff is worth it for me. So far I'm playing as a Sneaky Archer. The Thieves guild is a perfect fit for me. Just need to turn into
werewolf
There's a mod to do this?
I can now go on a killing spree of the kids, who think they are better than anyone. Bethesda, you really did go over-board with the kids saying stuff and you not being able to kill them!

Yeah im not a massive fan of that part, I felt like an asshole doing some of the stuff and there wasnt any kind of niceish way to go about doing any of it via pursuade or just out right telling the woman to do one.

Has no one done the main quest yet? I'm honestly confused as to the ending of it.
And the fact that you don't rob her blind and expose her during the quest line shows the thieves guild in Skyrim is the polar opposite of the one in Oblivion.
I don't know why Bethesda decided to turn the thieves guild into an oppressive band of jack boot licking under-thugs.

There was an ending? Lol.
I haven't played Thieves and Dark Brotherhood lines but props to Bethesda if they made assholes to behave like assholes and didn't turn them into charming daredevils. I wish they did the same for the main quest.
Yeah it was underwhelming. I stood there for a few seconds waiting for something else to happen then I just left. I should've killed Paarthurnax right then.

Is there somewhere I can go to level up enchanting?
Also, I'm not totally sure on the process... anyone have like a link to a guide or wiki or whatnot?
Many thanks!

Uhhh... there's plenty of factions that are assholes acting like assholes. Bandits, necromancers, evil mercenaries, etc.
The Skyrim Thieves Guild is a perversion of the one in Morrowind and Cyrodiil (and likely the rest of the civilized nations). It's supposed to be about fighting inequality and opulence.

So
can I still kill other dragons or are my dragon killing days over? Also, can I ever get to see Paarthurnax again? What about Esbern and the other one? I tried looking for them but they were nowhere to be found? I also couldn't find the highbeards.

Thanks. I was running around everywhere in the college and couldn't find the dude. I had seen him before, too >_<
EDIT - Huh, such a complicated process. I have to find souls and put them in soul gems and then yadda yadda. I guess I'll just skip enchanting for now.
he's a bastard to find at times because that place is huge.
You can still see Paarthurnax, Esbern and Delphine if you so desire. And yes, you'll still be attacked by dragons in the world and there are lots of mountaintop peaks where dragons live and you can find them.

I basically grinded my Enchanting by just going from town to town to town (Winterun, Riften, Winterhold) and checking Mage vendors and General Stores for pre-filled Petty to Common gems (eventually, Grands just to stockpile them). Use those to enchant Iron Daggers or whatever you have a ton of and go through your Enchants one by one to see what gives you the most bang for your buck (Banish is the hands down best I believe; the Absorbs are all nice as well if you don't have Banish and Enchanting Sneak gives a huge boon to Armor/Jewelry for some reason).
Or just make a weapon with Soul Trap enchanted onto it and kill things in the wild. Bonus if you do it with
the Black Star, so you can just kill an enemy, trap their soul, recharge weapon, rinse, repeat until max Enchanting
Edit: As an aside, anyone use the Investor perk and have vendors randomly revert back? I got my normal vendor of choice (the Warmaiden owner) up to ~6000 Gold and had it kept there for awhile. Now he's down to ~1600 and I can't figure out why. He seems to break the most often so I'm having a suspicion it has something to do with the other vendor since they seem to have a shared max Gold pool despite having two separate inventories/gold stashes.

Played for about 10 hours, [spoilers]done a surprising amount of the main quest, up until I killed the dragon with the Blades woman. Also just finished the Battle of Whiterun with the Imperials.[/spoilers]
What's really impressive is how content packed this is. It reminds me of Fallout:NV in how there seems to be things to do everywhere. There's so many more quests, particularly smaller ones, and there's more variety than in previous ES games. At the same time, the world is the same size or larger than Oblivion's with an increased vertical-ness.

Do they say "Wait, I know you..." and you say "You're making a mistake?"
After that you should have the option to pay, or go to jail etc. Make sure you're scrolling down, there could be dialogue options that are hidden.
I have no perks in Speechcraft and have never run into this problem. Alternatively you can join the Thieves Guild and then bribe them by saying you're with the guild, but I think that doesn't remove your bounty, only delays it.
I think I've plunged too far deep into the main quest -- tell me am I near the end?
Me, Daphine and the guy from the Ratsway are headed off into some mountain to find Alduin's Wall. It doesn't feel like the end but the way Daphine talks to the guy in the bar sounds like it might be. Wondering if I should pull out now as my desire to keep playing might diminish if I finish it now.

two to three hours left if you do it really fast. When you get to the end and you wonder to yourself, "Where's the cutscene." know that there is no cutscene. You finish the main quest and then....that's it. Go on with your life.
