Is there a prerequisite for buying the house in Solitude?

You need to gain the jarl's trust before you can be allowed to buy houses. Do the quest that her steward can give you (you may overhear the quest itself when you arrive in the castle, and can then ask him about it). Complete that quest, some time later you'll get a message about a follow up on that quest, complete that and you'll be able to get a quest from the jarl. Complete that quest, do 5 town quests (maybe other way around, I already had the 5 quest req done), and you'll be able to buy the house.

I thought about just giving myself the gold via console command but it wasn't too, too hard to gather it all. Mostly just spamming synths and looting every single corpse I came across/made. Would store most loot somewhere near the entrance of a cave/place, sprinting back and forth so I can keep myself mobile, and go back there after clearing place to load up and fast travel to town.

And smithing is great. Some improved items sell for a lot more than either item initially sold for. Like improving an orcish armor to epic lvl gave it nearly another 1k in base-price I think, as well as gave it like 20-30 more defense or something like that. About the only thing I might wind up cheating in is just getting more perks in the end since you can't normally get everything. Or just make another character and try out something else while getting skilled up via console. Sneak+bow makes things very easy, and those +% items I got early solidified it (+45% bow dmg is ~2 perks worth, muffled movement is a sneak perk on its own too), though with so little def from being crap like leather cuffs, helm, boots, I get killed quick if something rushes me and attacks fast (I'm almost lv30). Though most things either die in one shot or 2-3, bosses take a bit though, like those draugr bosses can get messy (sneak rarely keeps you safe with them). Bears have been annoying bastards in this game too lol, more so than dragons since they didn't seem to stagger often from arrows (got the arrow stagger perk), and they can maul you down quick. And they actually sound like bears this time around as they weren't terribly bear-like in oblivion. There's a little quest involving bear skins too, need 10 (and that npc really hates bears lol).

Another thing with arrows: you can lead enemies around by firing arrows at stuff while sneaked. They'll go check out the source of the sound, /poke it (literally, saw skeleton mobs reach out and poke), and look around some more before going passive. Hostile things will check it out, non-hostile will just stand there as if nothing happened, so you can find out if that npc you see inside a dungeon is friend/foe this way (or at least based on my one observation with the one-time sidekick).

About 1.2

has been a while since The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim has been released, and the reviews have marked this game for “the game of the year” award. Most reviews have gave it a 9/10 overall.

Now Bethesda has more plans stored for Skyrim. There is a new 1.2 Patch coming up. Plus a very big DLC with a new Main Quest as big as the Skyrim Dragon Chronicle Quest, details regarding the DLC are not yet known.

Regarding the 1.2 Patch, there have been a few details claiming what “might” be included. Here is a small list:

1. Horse, Minion and Ally Health will be known to the player.
2. Fast Travel Options will be enhanced.
3. Minor Lagging for ATI Graphic cards with Quality set to High or Ultimate will be enhanced.
etc . . .

This was as much as we could provide from our Bethesda Insider, if more news comes up will post, or update the news.

Re: ATI cards lagging. I disovered it was just the shadow setting that would cause me to lag. I set everything to ultra and reduced shadows to medium. I am getting 60fps everywhere now at 1920x1200.

I did have to disable crossfire though. Using HD 5870s.

need to beat the wolfskull cave quest then take the hunting horn to a talos shrine (one near Whiterum) then you can buy a 3 floor house for 25000gold

Is there a downside to doing what I've been doing......just dropping stuff all over the floor in the 2 story house?

[Yuri-G]

anyone else run into blue wireframe graphics? I had a ton of enemies showing up this way in the Labyrinthian. I tried reloading, restarting (both game and PC), reinstalling, but the only thing that finally worked was simply zoning in and out of the dungeon.

I've also seen some weird AI issues but I can't tell if they are glitches or bad programming. I stepped off a stairway onto the adjacent hill and a snow troll immediately "lost sight" of me and started walking away, but if I ran up to the edge of the stairway he would "see" me again and run back over (I was in plain sight the whole time and the edge of the stairway wasn't very high at all). I've also seen several enemies that have bathmophobia (fear of stairs) - they would run up to the bottom edge of a staircase and stop, making for extremely easy sniping. come to think of it, seems like it's more pathing issues than AI issues.

my chest up by the bed in whiterum is full of stuff but doesn't seem like it runs out of space so idk

[Vuitton]

I am pretty OC with storage. I use the bookshelves for books (the game auto organizes your books to look nice), and I keep alchemy mats in one location near the lab, and clothes in drawers, and jewelry in little boxes or nightstands. I am ridiculous.

[SamanosukeShiva]

So the dragon bones and scales you get off dragons aren't used for dragonsmithing later in the game?

It is, lv100 smithing armor.

[Tyr]

What are Daedric artifacts? How do I start to find them, etc? No idea what you're talking about D:

Go to any "Shrine" (they're often located on mountain tops, and I'd say hard to find unless you have a updated map marker) and often you will be "called upon." Off the top of my head, the Shrine of Azura is located Southeast of where Ulfric Stormcloak and his lot are (Winterhold? Winterhelm? It's not Winterhold, actually).

So, you do the quest, then generally speaking, you probably will hit one of two options. One option will reward you with the Daedra's artifact, one option will reward you with something else.

I played Oblivion a little past halfway, and really want a good synopsis of the storyline. Anyone have one on hand? I was thinking of watching the "Oblivion: Movie" youtubes, but they're so damn long...

After my first night in Skyrim, I read up a ton on TES' mythos, and it made the game thoroughly more enjoyable. My source was the TES Wiki -- for example, Welt, here's the link for the who's and what's of the Daedra:

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Daedra


I love the depth of the game/series/world they've created. Especially coming off of A Song of Ice and Fire (by the by, my character's name is Aegon Targaryen. Dragonborn yey-YEYYY)

[Vuitton]

Oblivion synopsis:

Emperor is killed (by a cult), and with no apparent heir to the throne. Without an heir to perform a ritual during their corronation the barriers between Tamriel and Oblivion becomes weak and allows gates to tear into the world. The player's goal is to do battle with the cult and the oblivion gates while searching for and protecting the King's illegitimate son so he can perform the ritual and seal the gates.

Skyrim mini-spoiler.

Spoiler: show

Skyrim mentions the emperors were all dragonborn, but this is the first I've heard of that. Especially the part where the Blades were originally dragonslayers... I wonder if it's retcon.

Oh right, I knew all that, but...(Oblivion spoiler)

Spoiler: show

there was something said about how Martin, who was the emperor's son, sacrificed himself to seal the gates again? And did Mehrunes Dagon ever break through, like was he the final boss? Maybe synopsis is the wrong word -- I wanted I guess the storyline's progression, including spoilers

you do a quest to get his crazy over powered dagger he seems to have become a god/demon (at least some form of spirital higher up) fun quest but some of the guys you have to fight are over powered like fuck

[Chrian]

so imperial or stormcloak? which did you choose?

[Tyr]

so imperial or stormcloak? which did you choose?

haven't decided yet, but I think 70% sure I'm going Stormcloak. I don't care for Ulfric much, but I do like the "let us be autonomous" aspect. Plus, I ripped up an Imperial (Thalmor) camp that was holding a Battleborn (or Grey-mane?) hostage...so maybe the Imperials won't take me.

[Vuitton]

Spoiler: show

Martin does sacrifice himself to become an avatar for Akatosh (takes the appearance of a dragon). He turns into stone while in dragon form after Mehrunes is defeated. He does appear in game as the final boss. A 20ft red demon with four arms. This all happens within the imperial city.

Coming soon... footprints.

Not really a big spoiler

Spoiler: show

Hey melees out there, Whirlwind Sprint has just MADE my battlemage. Closing like 20 feet in an instant is perfect for hunting down dangerous backline mages.

I'm like a fucking tiger. Creeping up on bandit camps and then WHOOOOSH! It's Hammer Time!

For those of you who hate the thought of having perks you can't unlock:

Use console commands with the ~ key. I did a bit of testing, and basically did : player.setlevel 1 (which lowered my level back to 1 for quick leveling), player.setav onehanded 1 (which set my one handed skill to 1) and then spammed IncSkill onehanded (or maybe it was IncPCS Onehanded) until I got a ton of level ups to 100, and repeated. After leveling up and picking my stat a bazillion times, magicka in my case, I had 1030/100 magica (weird display error once you hit 1000, but i emptied my magicka out and it refilled back to 1040 just fine. lol) and the perks updated after finishing with picking my stat to around 97 perks to pick. :D Don't be alarmed if it still says 0 when you're still picking the stat though, it updates once you finish.

I tried to advance my level up but that only raises your level without the perk bonus.

[Guitarman]

Is finishing the thieves guild quest worth giving up the skeleton key? I'm a bit OCD about walking away from questlines, but the key is just so nice to have...
