Quick question: for some reason, whenever I try to fire an arrow from a bow, it just dies after a few feet. Am I poisoned or retarded or what?!
I ran away as soon as I got the shout. His spells were too powerful (at around level 15), and he turned my summons against me! Came back at level 30 and could take a ton of his spells, and he couldn't turn my Sanguine Rose dremora against me.
Volsung and Hevnoraak gave me far more trouble, they one shot me, they're all I found so far.
So I made a video of my first Blood Dragon encounter - it just so happened to be during a raid with me fighting alongside a bunch of Imperials raiding the Stormcloaks.
A 30+ battle ensued for 7 minutes.
GOTY.

I think I just hit that fatigue point. I am trying to clear quests and I have over 30 more to do :/
I might take a break from gaming all-together for a bit. Great game, just too much to do right now.
Also don't know if anyone can help me with this, but there's a quest where I have to copy some notes from this wizard's museum in the city that's Mark-something. I don't have anything to copy the notes with. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I don't remember getting anything special.

I don't think quest items actually contribute to your encumberance, despite having a weight rating.
Oh? Good. Then I'll just have to discover what's weighting me down. It's probably my compulsion to take every potion I come across and never drop them.
In another room around there you can find rolled paper and charcoal, get both of them and click on the stone.
Found my first Dragonbone item today at 64. I've been really unlucky with chest rolls on this character though so who knows.
Hmmm I did get the paper and charcoal though :/
I remember specifically getting everything since there was a shiny looking paper below all that stuff. Will try it again and see if I can finish it before I put down Skyrim for like a week.

You can have a book cabinet in your house in whiterun

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
I'm kinda worried now. I'm playing the PS3 version of Skyrim and for the past few days the performance has been getting progressively worse. I can't even go into Whiterun because it's nearly unplayable there.
Sooo either something in the game is screwing up and causing the bad performance, or Skyrim is breaking my PS3. Tomorrow I'll try a couple other games and see if they aren't playing right either.

I'm on the PS3, so I don't think I can edit any settings. But this suddenly started happening today - the arrows literally fall down after a foot. It's gotta be a poison or something?
I have it but it only holds 11 books. I put everything else in the chest on top. I want like a full size library and display cases, like at the mages college. I expect by the time I'm "done" with the game I'll have books numbering in the hundreds.

There are two bookshelves in Whiterun, one has 2 shelves and holds 18 books on each shelf, the other (the one you found) has 2 shelves can hold 11 books on each shelf.
Still, 58 isn't enough.
I'm not doing any archery this playthrough but that sounds strange.
Go into Magic ---> Active Effects and see if you have any debuffs there.
Markarth has the best library house IMO. All the bookcases are together and they are large ones, not the small ones. There are 3 there I think, with 3 shelves that can hold 18(?) books each I think. So each bookcase can hold 54 books.

Refreshing, no doubt. Very surprising too.
This could be avoided if they allowed chests/ containers to also break up stuff into categories.
Ofcourse I guess this makes it feel more RP though. But fuck me. I have to move all my shit from the whiterun house to the house in windhelm. It's like 'wonder what lead me to think that the closet in the kitchen is the best place for iron ingots'.
Damn well surprised TBH. I was expecting atleast two Zenimax logos and some Havoc.

That would be a godsend.

I don't want to think about moving yest, that's going to be so much work..
And who said games aren't realistic lol.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Finally got around to getting the Sheogorath quest.
Kind of amusing that your character from Oblivion is still around, but now totally insane.

I killed a bunch of horkers and now I feel bad.

You know, I'd be satisfied with the chests in your house being alphabetized, at this point.
PS Horker sounds like slang for something.

Thanks, great tip! Just now realized the character hasn't even been to Markarth ever... this game is just tooooo huge.
I read "horkers" as "hookers".
I cracked up at this so much, I had to FRAPS it and then he even said that line XD

I have a few questions.
1. I only have the pushback shout at the moment, I was wondering, is it essential/useful to continue the mainquest for more shouts? Or can I get other cool ones via other questlines as well? Because I'd rather wait with the mainquest. I am currently at the part where I have to visitthe Greybeards for the next part of the mainquest.
2. How does enchanting work? I have to chose a gem, weapon and enchant. However, I can't chose anything at 'enchant'? Do I have to learn them? How does this work?
3. Do you guys just make the same potions over and over again to level alchemy or just try different combination (and fail a lot) every time?

So I killed the first dragon.

Man, I was walking around somewhere north of Whiterun and saw this guy on magician clothes with a staff, trying to get some magic going. I talked to him, and he had this really sad story about how he was trying to become a magician using his grandfather's staff. I let him alone and decided to go back, sneaking, and steal his money. I then decided to steal his staff even though he was holding it... and he noticed me. Out of surprise, I accidentally put my long sword right across his spine and killed him.
It made me feel horribly bad afterwards. He seemed like a nice guy

It's the Elder Scrolls slang term for whores/hookers.
One thing you can do for the third question, is eat the ingredients raw. You will discover some of their characteristics, and then you can just mix together ingredients with the same ones to create potions that have those same characteristics.
I'm not going to move my stuff from house to house. I'll just deposit stuff in the house I'm nearest to.
None yet. It's optional, you can select Beast Form and you'll turn into one. It's only temporary but it'll last longer if you feed. You're also resistant to any disease.
