Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Downloaded a few mods there, and will test them out tonight. Considering there's still no mod tools, some of them are pretty damn amazing.

If you have the resistance bug don't forget the beta skyrim script extender (from the same guys that developed the oblivion and Fallout ones) as well, as it fixes that issue already. Gonna try it out after stupid work finishes .

He has that much every 24hours after you invest in his shop.

I stop by every 24hrs to offload all my loot there.

I think this rumour started when someone rage edited the patch details page on one of the Skyrim Wikis, it was swiftly removed needless to say.

I updated with the patch and lag is still an issue but it doesn't really bug me to much tbh..

Finally made it to solitude (60hours played and only finally got around to visiting there) and bought a schweet house!

Have to visit windhelm, Markarth and Falkreath still!! too easy to get distracted in this game

how do you find out the number of hours that was spent in Skyrim? Does it show up on the game somewhere or you guys just guessing ?

Check your last save that will tell you.

from your sig i guess you're on PS3. there is 2 ways to check, before you launch the game go to your save file locations and just highlight the latest Skyrim save file. it should pop up with more details for you.

2nd way is in game. when you go to save again go to your latest save file and highlight it. after a few seconds it should show you more details includin the time played.

Ok, i'm off to work, but i've just been invited to become a Werewolf. Now, i've read around and the positives seem good while there doesn't appear to be any negatives outside of combat.

So, is it worth it? I haven't done the quest where you can un-do it, but i don't want to become one if it's going to fook over other quests...

i can become one but thats as far as i got in the companions missions. so far it screwed up any other quests and i've almost finished the thieves and dark brotherhood missions and completed the mages quest line.


only thing that confuses me about this is that my stats say that i've been a werewolf for 61 days or so. no idea if this means that i got the ability for it 61 days ago or else i've been changing into a wolf while i sleep or whatever and the game just doesnt show it.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

you've had the ability for 61 days

Possible fix for people playing on Windows 7 who couldn't avoid the update : http://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/mv60v/windows_7_skyrim_players_i_have_come_to_deliver/

Haven't tried it myself but seems like it has helped a few people.

Just confirming that if you're using Windows 7 and the new patch is making the game unplayable that the above fix rolls the game back to version 1.1 or whatever, the way it was before the latest patch. Just set Skyrim options in Steam to not update Skyrim automatically.

Word of warning the name of that option is a bit of a misnomer, it only tells steam not to initiate an update itself silently in the backround, when running in online mode it will automatically try to update any game when you launch it.

The game is very broke for me since the patch

Some times I cant shout. The mouse in the menu is messed up

Really disappointing they can release somthing like this

Have they said anything about this so called patch?

Are you running any mods or ini file tweaks? If so try backing up the old Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini and deleting them. It should recreate default files on launch (If it works ok you can then start adding them back in one by one).

Hey lads, I have a few grand built up and deciding whether to just go for a house in Whiterun or wait for a better one? (i've only been to Whiterun and Riverwood so far)

Also, if I buy a Horse, does it spawn if I fast travel anywhere. Can I call it ala Red Dead?

Buying a horse is a waste of a grand....

they don't last long in a scuffle, they charge in, and get killed, and often by you, as they have a habit of getting between you and your enemies.

If you really want a horse then

Join the dark brotherhood, you will get a near indestructible one after a few missions.

You can't call them, like in RDR, but they appear beside you after you fast travel or wait, and can be found out side towns if you leave by the main entrance.

2 questions, I cant access game websites from where I am.

How do I cure frostbite?

How do I fill the soul gems when I kill a monster for enchanting?

Do Cure Poison and Cure Disease potions not work?

Use and kill monsters with a weapon enchanted with Soul Capture.

Black soul gems for killing people.

House is vital for storing **** in, and in most/all cities to be able to buy a house you need to get in with the Jarl, so Whiterun is the only house really available to you at the start and the best place to unload your heavy junk.

I'd agree that they do get in the way a lot but are GREAT for terrain traversal. I've found myself reloading saves the odd time (more than I'd like though) to make sure my horse survives the onslaught. They can get you up a steep mountain fairly quick since they allow you to climb places that you wouldn't be able to otherwise. It's annoying that the only thing you can do on them is ride them around since you cant pick flowers/herbs, talk to NPCs or even fire a bow and arrow at enemies.

I did a mission down in Riften and ended up

stealing a horse called Frost. Brought it to the meet point and persuaded the guy I was supposed to give the horse to to give it to me.

The horse died 15 minutes later on me and it was too late to realise for a reload.
That particular one seemed rather weak to me compared to the regular one.

Sheehy, invest in the one in Whiterun. Get in with the Jarl and he'll reward you. Everytime I kill a dragon I fast travel to Whiterun and drop off the bones and scales. Then I fast travel back to here I was. I have over 30 of each of the bones and scales sitting in my house, ready to be fashioned into dragon armour. Just need to get my smithing up to 100 first. Almost there.

Agreed, just not worth paying for.

I have my free Horse now, and it goes everywhere with me.

Thanks lads! Looks like i'll be buying the house in Whiterun to store my shtuff. sick of dropping valuable weapons to make room for other things. Gonna do the dark brotherhood quest next to get that horse!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

how the hell are you all losing your horses?

mine jumps right into the fray versus everything and just about always wins
