The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim | VR (Vive/PSVR)

Is there something I'm missing the lockpicking in Skyrim is much harder than it is in Oblivion. In fact it's a fucking guessing game for the higher locks, you have to sit there and guess and pray the pick doesn't break, the higher the lock the smaller the window so it just becomes harder to find.

I remember in Oblivion I could easily unlock high level locks because I got good at the lockpick minigame, but this one is just fucking guesswork and it's stupid.

I just finished writing a python script to find the best combinations for Alchemy recipes, it's up here at github, you'll need Python to run it but it's pretty nice for using those ingredients you have lying around. For example I'm running it for ingredients to find the potions with the 'most effects' so I can discover the most effects from the ingredient upon creating the potion. Probably extend it a bit to allow you to filter based on an effect eventually.

Yes. If you're trying to pick a lock and get two failed attempts on the pick, tab out and retry again. It resets the wear on the pick.

Is there a reason not to level every skill? Like is there a total skill point cap where investing in multiple styles/magics/crafts is a bad thing?

Not as far as I know, I think you cap at around level 80 or so with everything maxed, so you're just limited by the amount of perks you can take. Obviously maxing everything will just make the game harder compared to just maxing your main combat skills and stuff though, given enemies will scale higher than if you were just maxing your main combat skills + a craft or two.

And yeah, lockpicking does just feel like a case of throwing a ton of picks at something if you're trying to open up a high level lock, but on the plus side it's a lot better than Fallout 3/NV where you needed 100 Lockpicking before you could even attempt to open Master locks, here you can do it immediately if you're willing to try. I usually just savescum and reload if it takes too many picks.

Keep going till you get to a 3 ringed puzzle door. The claw itself shows the combination.

the key to lockpicking is paying attention to how the keyhole moves. when you're close to the right spot, it'll move, and the closer you get the further the keyhole moves. once you find a spot where the keyhole moves, edge the pick a little bit in one direction and see whether it moves more or less. using that technique I've opened even master locks with 3-4 picks at most. it does help to save first though.

Has anyone found the Dragon Priests? I've found Krosis and Nahkriin i want mo masks

Holy fuck I just went there to Shearpoint to check out a dragon that guy tipped me off to and ran into that motherfucker D:< Krosis harder than any damn dragon and so much more worth it.

Question: I had my follower (forgot her name) assistant, and then did a quest that replaced her, but I never got her back when I finished the quest. Any ideas ;_;?

Are you talking about your Housecarl servant bitch? I'm not sure where they return to by default but when I bought the Whiterun house she showed up upstairs in the guest room.

I actually meant this far more literally. I didn't see the chain to open the gate for the river, was running around for 20 minutes looking for a tunnel I missed.

However, this was helpful too!

Is there some way to remove arrows and stuff from your body lol? I currently have a piece of ice lanced through my ass/crotch and an arrow sticking out my neck. I tried sleeping and reloading and neither worked.

[kisada]

haha yeah i have an arrow sticking out of my head too

[Buffy]

I killed Maul, who was apparently supposed to appraise my unusual gem. Whoops.

Anyone do this? I got a quest with no marker and no clue what to do with it.

[Chrian]

Yep. Alchemy ingredients are stored near the alchemy table. Gear and weapons are stored in the bedroom. Scrolls are stored in the upstairs. Smithing ingredients are stored in another chest. I don't keep books and food and junk like that.

[Headspace]

I need to get money.

I am so broke

[Manf]

Companions are so buggy. I've had mine disappear into the void 3 times only to randomly pop back whenever the hell he felt like. Also, are there any spells or armor I should look out for that makes mages easier to deal with? They rape me to death every time I come across one.

[kisada]

what would be more useful throughout the game, azara's star or the black star? i plan on consistently using enchanting weapons if it matters.

also, are all human souls a creature's grand soul equivalent? cause if that's the case i'd prolly be way better off taking the black star.

[Ohemgee]

The first companion Lydia? disappeared on me when I went to climb the mountain.
