Better off getting to a Talos shrine. I think there's one in Inchicore.

It works alright but theres a bug that it gives you 0% cooldown on shouts

Lag is really starting to get bad now.

My save file is 12mb. Don't have the PS3 hooked up to the internet so I can't get updates

update didn't fix the lag.

Not The Real Scarecrow

completely disgusted at this point. Nearly through every thing, decided to call in on the companions and now the game crashes every time i try to leave the house.On xbox by the way.
Closest thing i have saved is about 5 days ago ,just can't get past it.feeling totally disgusted by this glitch as it means i either go back and replay about 50 hrs worth of ****e or start again. if the next patch doesn't fix this reckon i'll never by a bethesda game again....

North west of Skyrim near Statue to Meridia I was passed by a

headless ghost horse!

I couldnt talk to it even though it had an option. Anyone know is it part of a quest....


Its those sort of wacky little things that happen that keep me exploring, I can count how many times I've been treking out to some place and never got there because I fell into a bunch of adventure along the way!

Lycanthropic tip below.

Just a quick note on Werewolves, If you do Quests with Aela after the main companion missions you can get Totems that make your beast mode stronger
Totem of Fear: Causes Fear
Totem of Brotherhood: Summons 2 Wolf Spirits
Totem of The Hunt: Grants Detect Life

Ok, is anyone else getting freaked by dead dragon skellies??

When I zone into the College often a dragon skeleton just *falls* on my head. It was well freaky the first time but now I've named him Norman, for giggles. I'm easily amused.

But just now I killed a dragon outside Whiterun (oh, Dragonrend = no more dragon problems it seems...) and zoned into the city. Zoned out and the skeleton is there, ok, thats normal.... but then it came alive and is now eyeballing me! No attacks, I can still loot it but its definitely moving and doing that head-turning-eyeballing thing they do. It moves around a bit too. I can stop laughing at my brain singing "Iiiiiiiiii aint got noboooooooody..."

Like I said, easily amused.

I chased it to a graveyard where there were enemies and a treasure chest with master lock. I was unable to open the lock at the time. I dont think it is part of a quest. It just disappeared at the graveyard, which coincided with dawn I think

Where is this place?


I was on foot so lost him.

I dont remember. I got curious so I looked in the wiki. Seems there is a quest after all:

If the Dragonborn uses the potion obtained from the quest relating to Shroud Hearth Barrow (next to Ivarstead), he/she may be able to to communicate with the Headless Horseman. The potion allows the user to look like a Ghost. This will make the Horseman think that the player is a ghost, thus he will give you a quest to find his head.

I was able to keep up with him on foot while wearing light armour and not having levelled stamina much. If you were in heavy armour you could just take it off to manage the same speed for something like that.

whats the best way to make a bit of money besides selling loot?

Markath is sooo pretty, way too many cave bears around the hills surrounding it though, I charge towards dragons with gusto and relishing the fight, I see a bear and run away lol

DeVore

Yeah, i'm the same. Defeated my first dragon at level 5 or so (soon as i got lydia and a horse).... but then had to flee in terror from an ordinary bear.


I wish they would simply mark areas as being in a level range and stop with the auto level balancing.

in wow there are highbie zones and you can go there if you wish but you have at least got the information to make that decision. I remember running a level 5 mage right into the heart of one highbie area, to a safe camp. Not only was it awesome scary fun, but when I got there there was a sense of achievement like I dont get with Skyrim. (Plus all the highbie thought it was hilarious, made me their kinda mascot and buffed the holy sh*t out of me so I was pretty much a tank at my own level.

My point is that getting your ass absolutely handed to you occasionally isnt a bad thing. I love the feeling of coming back 50 levels later and saying "so, lich king, remember me....im BAAAAAAACK".

At level 20 now I've spent 10 levels utterly unchallenged by any mob in the game. Even

Arduin

was a doddle.

krudler

bears are bastards! they chase you down too, I usually use unrelenting force to blow one off a cliff if ones nearby. I havent gone into most caves yet, learnt my lesson with that one early on lol, am level 18 now and I still dont feel like I'm not progressing fast enough, I die occasionally but I never think I'm underpowered and do enjoy going back to areas kicking ass later on. taking a break from the main quest, had started the dark brotherhood ones, gonna spend a week or so exploring and levelling up.

DeVore

btw, I watched from a distance as two falmer slaughtered my horse, so you can definitely lose your horse without any damage from yourself.

My horses seem to be some sort of strain of military-grade idiot too. I am on my 5th I think. I now get off 100 M before the area and walk the last bit unless I intend to go on a full frontal, unrelenting assault on the base.... which is what my horse will do if he gets a sniff of an enemy.

Thats another thing... the leveling system is well strange. I can complete a huuuuge quest line and get no advance, but pick a craft/skill I havent leveled up and 10 minutes later... Ding! I kinda get it, but it feels weird.

Make enchanted armor and sell it. Also do the theives guild quests you get 7 fences with 4000 septums every day.

by make enchanted armor do you mean make the armor and then enchant it or simply enchant loot you find?

DeVore

Either works I guess...

I noticed this as well, I'm up to about level 43 or so, so it takes ages for me to naturally level up. What will level you up really quickly is if you improve those skills that you are weak in.
E.g. I'm nearly maxed in 2-handed, heavy armour, enchanting, smithing, lockpick. But I'm really low in all the magic and sneak skills, so by spamming various spells (like the muffle spell or using firebolt vs weak enemies) you can level up your weak skills quickly which really advances your overall level.
Handy for getting to those last few perks you really want.

I do feel sympathy for people who only have one save file but honestly, honestly? I have 142. If I want to, I'm a god damn time traveler.

Of course I just chose to keep Lydia dead because well, she was already annoying, and I had only used her to explore one dungeon. "I am swoooorn to carry your burdens". Come on lady, sound happy about it. I'm gonna be rich and if you don't cop on your attitude - oh a dragon ate you. Nevermind.

Two handed is the strongest DPS after two blades but you get no block with 2 blades other than that Orc, Redgaurd or Nord will suit you. Dont spam Smithing to early or you will find yourself in trouble with scaling Draugr.
Other than that its the most fun class ive tried and I have a mage, an archer and now a warrior.
